At 11 in the evening, the moonlight was shining into the base through the windows, and coupled with the light source from the street lamps, it gave off a solemn feeling.
It was not the first time Engineer Yang came back to the research lab at this time. However, tonight was a little different compared to before. The 24-hour guard at the entrance was nowhere to be seen.
Even though something was different, Engineer Yang whose mind was filled with flowers did not sense anything amiss. He went in after verifying his identity.
Only Engineer Yang’s footsteps could be heard in the corridor. After opening the doors to the building, the robots in the hall were still working. Engineer Yang directly made his way into the lab.
He went over to Moonlight and stood in front of him. All of a sudden, his mind buzzed, and shortly after, his hand stretched toward the control panel.
Soon, a string of code appeared on the control panel and while the program ran, it gradually became chaotic.
Two minutes later, Moonlight opened his eyes and a red light flashed from his eyes. In the next second, he closed his eyes once again.
…
Zi Yi and Lu Jingye returned to the Lu Family’s villa tonight.
Second Master Lu came back today and after having dinner, the father and son headed to the study room.
After Second Master Lu sat down, he came straight to the point and asked, “Did Little Zi get involved that night?”
“Yes.” Lu Jingye did not conceal anything.
Second Master Lu was silent for a long time before he sighed and said, “I knew she would make a move. Her actions have indeed made us feel better, but if Country A gets wind of the culprit, have you ever thought of the consequences?”
Speaking of this, he tapped the table with slight irritation and said, “Only the three of us can know of this. You can’t tell anyone even if it’s the Dou Family.”
“Father, don’t worry. We will not tell anyone about this.”
“Mhmm.”
A moment of silence passed by before Second Master Lu changed the topic to the recent poisoning in the capital.
“The authorities are paying attention to this. Get Little Zi to stop concerning herself with this incident and let others do it.”
Second Master Lu felt that his daughter-in-law was too high-profile these days and this was not good for her. He wishes that she would be a little more low-profile.
Lu Jingye naturally would not object to his suggestion.
In the living room.
Zi Yi and Mrs. Lu were seated on the sofa.
Mrs. Lu was obviously in a better mood, as Lu Jianlin had come back. She started talking to Zi Yi about how she would be dealing with the university student.
“I gave her two choices. One is to leave the company and I will not get into a dispute with her about how the design was sold. The second choice was for her to find a way and take the person who stole the design draft to court.”
“What was her choice?”
“The first one.”
Speaking of this, Mrs. Lu sighed disappointingly.
“Mom, why did you sigh?”
“This child is very talented in designing. It’s a pity.”
“Since she chose the first one, what’s there to feel pity about? These types of people won’t make it far in the future. Besides, there are still many talented and capable designers under you and it’s not a must to have her around.”
When Zi Yi explained it like that, Mrs. Lu felt that it was reasonable and let go of the knot in her heart.
Night time, before Zi Yi and Lu Jingye fell asleep.
Zi Yi leaned in Lu Jingye’s arms and he told her about what his Father said.
“For this matter, you only have to create the detoxification medicine. The higher-ups will deal with the subsequent matters.”
Zi Yi nodded her head. This did not matter much to her and so, she started telling him about what happened in the Robot R&D Center.
“We have already confirmed that Deputy Director Huang and Team Leader Li are the spies. We should be able to obtain evidence tonight.”
Lu Jingye hugged her from behind and placed one of his hands on her slightly protruding belly.
Zi Yi moved around and said, “Today, Engineer Yang sprayed a perfume and it smelled terrible.”
Lu Jingye was a little dumbfounded at the sudden jump in topic and did not know whether to laugh or cry. He then sniffed around her ears and asked, “Then do you think my scent smells good?”
Zi Yi’s lips curved up. “It smells good. You don’t spray perfume, but there’s a scent coming from you that I like.”
There was only a light aftershave scent on Lu Jingye.
“Then what scent is it?”
Lu Jingye was breathing on Zi Yi’s shoulders. She shrank her neck a little due to the ticklish feeling and turned around while looking at him with a smile. “The scent of a man.”
The next second, her lips were sealed.
…
Early the next morning, when Zi Yi made her way to the lab, there were several guards standing outside the building. At the same time, many of the leaders had grim expressions.
When they saw Zi Yi alighting from the car, Deputy Director Huang strode over to her and said with a serious face, “Little Zi, something happened to Moonlight.”
Zi Yi revealed a surprised expression. “What happened?”
“He rioted. The engineers are currently trying to control him. Mr. Tang and Director Zheng are both inside too.” Having said that, he then turned around. “Follow me.”
Zi Yi nodded and followed him as they headed to the door.
While walking, Deputy Director Huang said, “Moonlight has never had such a big riot before and the engineers said that you mentioned an idea to improve Moonlight yesterday.”
Speaking of this, Deputy Director Huang suddenly stopped talking.
Zi Yi remained quiet and did not say a single word.
Soon, they passed by several doors.
The hall was very chaotic right now and Moonlight was causing damage all around.
The engineers were so anxious in trying to control Moonlight. Mr. Tang and Director Zheng stood to the side and their faces were also filled with anxiety.
“Mr. Tang, Little Zi is here.”
When Deputy Director Huang called out, Mr. Tang and Director Zheng looked over at the same time.
Zi Yi walked to where they were and stood there as she looked at the rioting Moonlight.
Moonlight was equipped with several different kinds of weapons. Right now, he had revealed all the weapons. The engineers tried to stop him, but they could not approach him at all.
“Little Zi, do you have any way to turn off Moonlight’s program?” Deputy Director Huang asked.
“Yes.”
When Zi Yi said that, the three of them looked in her direction at the same time.
Zi Yi pointed at Moonlight. Just as she was about to speak, they saw Engineer Yang grabbing a huge wrench and he threw it toward Moonlight’s control panel.
“Stop it!”
The other engineers all yelled at the same time, but they were too late. The wrench had accurately struck the control panel on Moonlight. The next moment, spurts of electric current were emitted from Moonlight’s body, and in the end, it fell down with a thud.
Everyone quickly went forward and surrounded Moonlight.
After Engineer Meng checked the robot, he shouted angrily at Engineer Yang, “Why the f*ck did you destroy Moonlight’s control panel?!”
Engineer Yang’s body shook all of sudden and he looked at Moonlight with an expression of horror. He shook his head and said, “I didn’t… I didn’t want to do that.”
Having said that, he looked at his hand. What had he done just moments ago? Why did he not have any recollection of it?
Engineer Chu angrily shouted, “Everyone saw what you did, Yang Changpeng. Now you’re telling us you didn’t?”
“I-”
“Stop arguing. The most important thing right now is to export the programs in the control panel or else our hard work for the past six months would be completely destroyed.”
Engineer Meng quickly took out the control panel from Moonlight’s chest and connected it to another display panel. They wanted to export all the programs, but the moment they made the connection, garbled codes appeared.
