After coming out of Lin Hao’s office, Cheng Wangxue and Lu Meiqing walked separate ways.
At that time, Lin Xiaolu, who was holding her mother’s hand, turned and gave a glance to Lu Meiqing, who was walking away. Then, she turned back and raised her head to look at Cheng Wangxue.
“Mom, that person is a bad one!” Lin Xiaolu raised her head higher and said to Cheng Wangxue.
Cheng Wangxue stopped walking and lowered her head to look at her daughter questioningly, “Why did you say that?”
She knew that Lin Xiaolu said that for a reason. She believed what her daughter said, because she knew well about the girl. Also, Lin Xiaolu’s superpower allowed her to read people’s minds. Cheng Wangxue believed that her daughter wouldn’t lie to her.
“She has been wanting to know Aunty’s secret,” said Lin Xiaolu, “But, she doesn’t want you guys to know about that.”
Cheng Wangxue immediately knitted her brows. She raised her head and looked around before bringing her daughter to a corner. She squatted and looked straight at the girl in the eyes as she asked, “Xiaolu, is that real? Does the nurse want to know your aunty’s secret? What else do you know?”
Lin Xiaolu thought for a moment and continued slowly, “She wants to tell Aunty’s secret to some other people and then let them bring the secret out of our base.”
On hearing her daughter’s words, Cheng Wangxue turned her face slightly to the side with a cold look flashing across her eyes. However, she soon calmed down and turned back to Lin Xiaolu to ask another question, “Are you saying that she intends to tell your Aunty’s secret to some other people in our base?”
That meant quite some people who were on the same side with the nurse were hiding in the base.
Lin Xiaolu nodded at her and said, “Yes, she has friends here.”
Cheng Wangxue stood up and gently rubbed the girl’s head as she said, “Alright, I get it. Let’s head home. I’ll let your uncle know.”
“Em,” Lin Xiaolu nodded.
After that, the two of them left the hospital. Cheng Wangxue stayed as calm and composed as always, but the look in her eyes had grown much more serious than before. A sharp look could also be seen from those eyes from time to time. While the base managers were trying so hard to take precautions against the enemies from the outside, some people in the base had betrayed the base and planned to stab the base in the back.
After leaving the hospital, she didn’t take Lin Xiaolu straight to the administration building to see Lin Feng. Instead, she went home as she usually would and waited for Lin Feng to come back.
She didn’t go to Lin Feng’s office to talk to him about that because she didn’t want to arouse suspicion. After all, she hardly showed up in the administration building at that hour. Since those people already had eyes on Lin Hao, they must have been watching her, Lin Wenwen, and the other family members as well. If she went to Lin Feng at that hour, the people who had been watching her might guess something and change their plans.
She wasn’t sure if she was really under watch, but she believed that staying vigilant was the right thing to do. Also, she wasn’t worried that an extra couple of hours might allow the nurse to get some useful information from Lin Hao. She didn’t know when the nurse started to search for information in Lin Hao’s place. Did she start recently? Had she been doing that since a long time ago? One thing for sure though, that she hadn’t found what she wanted yet, and she wouldn’t possibly find it within merely a few hours.
…
That night, Lin Feng came home from work and found to his surprise that his dear wife, who was supposed to be in bed already, was sitting in the living room.
“Um… were you waiting for me?” She wouldn’t be sitting in the living room for no reason, so he assumed that she was waiting for him.
Cheng Wangxue stood up. After Lin Feng closed the door and walked to her, she said, “Earlier today, Xiaolu and I delivered lunch to Lin Hao. After that, Xiaolu told me that the nurse who’s been assisting him is a mole. She’s trying to dig out Chief’s secret and leak it to another base. I think she works for Huaxia Base. Moreover, she should have quite some friends here.”
On hearing her, Lin Feng stopped walking and gave her a glance with surprise before putting on a serious look.
“Are you sure?”
Cheng Wangxue gave him a glare and said, “Your daughter said that. Don’t you believe her?”
Lin Feng walked to the couch and sat down, “Give me some details.”
Cheng Wangxue sat on the armchair next to him and said, “The nurse showed up when we arrived at Lin Hao’s office and went in together with us. We even had a chat. She didn’t say much though. And soon, we left the office together. But after we left, Xiaolu told me that the nurse was thinking about something else. By having a small talk with me, she was actually trying to make me tell her where Lin Hao kept Chief’s file.”
No wonder the nurse told her that Lin Hao brought patients’ files home after work. She probably didn’t know if Lin Hao would really do that or not. She said that to get the answer out of Cheng Wangxue. By responding to her with yes or no, Cheng Wangxue would be giving her the answer that she wanted.
Thankfully, Cheng Wangxue didn’t give her any specific information back then.
On hearing that, Lin Feng furrowed his brows slightly and asked, “Was she feeling you out?”
She tried to get information about Lin Hao from other people, meaning that Lin Hao didn’t trust her fully, even though she had been working with him. She clearly wasn’t able to get any useful information from him.
It seemed that her work as a mole hadn’t been making any progress. Also, judging by the fact that she had changed her way of gathering information, the people whom she worked for had probably urged her and were losing patience.
It seemed that Huaxia Base had been trying everything they could to dig out the secrets of All Beings Base. They might be making some big moves soon. After all, they had already put their secret weapons against underground creatures in use.
“She was feeling me out indeed. I didn’t give her anything though. What are you gonna do about this? Should we let Lin Hao know?” Cheng Wangxue looked at him and asked.
Lin Hao knitted his brows as he thought for a moment and said, “We certainly need to let Lin Hao know about this. As for what I’m gonna do about it… Don’t alert her just yet. I want to know who she’s been working with.”
“But, Lin Hao hasn’t been coming home these days,” said Cheng Wangxue, “How are we supposed to let him know? Should I talk to him about it next time I deliver food to him?”
Lin Feng nodded and said, “Send him the message the usual way. I’ll send some people to keep the nurse under watch. Alright, leave it to me.”
“Okay, I get it,” Cheng Wangxue nodded and said.
