They seemed certain that no one could break in and that there was no one guarding the place.

She was the last one to come in, and after she put her things down, the people in front of her had already left.

She immediately shrank back and hid behind the curtains by the window.

No one could have imagined that someone would dare to sneak in like this.

About ten minutes later, the supplies were finally moved, and a doctor in a white coat finally arrived.

He shook hands with the man in white at the front, and the two exchanged insincere pleasantries.

Then, the man in white asked, seemingly casually, "Is the official announcement from the day before yesterday true?"

The man in the white coat smiled and said, "I'm just in charge of logistics; how would I know anything about what's going on upstairs?"

Upon hearing this, the man in white didn't say anything more and left with his men.

The man in the white coat casually checked the delivery slip once and left without even closing the door.

After waiting a while longer, and making sure there was no sound and no one else around, Shi Jinwei quietly stepped out from behind the curtains.

After looking around the room and finding nothing else besides supplies, he stopped paying attention.

He cautiously peeked out, glanced around, and, finding no surveillance cameras, then walked out.

I observed with a drone over the past few days that no one here is wearing protective clothing; everyone is wearing white coats, which shows that it is very safe.

The surveillance cameras in the corridor rotate automatically, so she walked along the wall, squeezing into blind spots.

As I walked, I looked into the rooms on both sides and finally saw a white coat hanging on a hanger in an office.

The door wasn't locked, so I pushed it open, slipped inside, and locked it from the inside.

First, I changed my clothes and pulled out a work badge from my pocket.

The girl in the photo has her hair in a ponytail and wears black-rimmed glasses. Her name is Zhou Wei, and her job is an intern assistant.

After staring at the photo for a while, Shi Jinwei started rummaging through the room.

I found an eyeglass case in a drawer, and inside was a pair of the same eyeglasses as in the photo.

Presumably it was a spare, Shi Jinwei took it out and put it on.

She forgot that she wasn't nearsighted, and felt dizzy and lightheaded as soon as she put on the glasses.

Take it off quickly, break the lens, and put it back on.

Then she changed her casually tied-up hair into a ponytail.

Because the glasses frames were too big, almost covering half of his face, he actually looked about four or five points like the girl in the photo.

I looked at myself in the mirror next to the clothes rack, and was about to go out again when the door behind me was pushed open.

Startled, she looked into the mirror and met the eyes of the man behind her.

It's that guy in the white coat from earlier!

When the other person came in, they were fiddling with something and didn't pay attention to Shi Jinwei's face.

Upon seeing the glasses, he mistook her for the girl in the photo.

He continued fiddling with his things, head down: "Xiao Zhou, didn't you go underground with the professor? Why are you back?"

Shi Jinwei turned her head slightly to prevent the other person from seeing her face clearly.

He glanced discreetly at the tag hanging in front of the man—Tang Yueqiu.

"I forgot something, so I came back to get it," she said, feigning nonchalance.

The man frowned: "Why does your voice sound strange?"

Shi Jinwei deliberately lowered her voice: "I haven't had any water, so my voice is a little hoarse."

No matter what the girl's voice was like before, if it becomes hoarse, her voice will definitely be lower.

But Tang Yueqiu still wouldn't let her off the hook: "Can you shrink without drinking water?"

He stepped forward and compared his height to Shi Jinwei's.

He was still muttering to himself, "You usually reach my chin, but now you only reach my shoulder. That's so strange."

Shi Jinwei closed her eyes to endure it.

She admits she's short, but it's really infuriating to have it pointed out like that.

Just as Tang Yueqiu was about to say something more, he pulled out a gun and pressed it against the man's forehead: "Shut up!"

Tang Yueqiu was dumbfounded. Only then did he realize that the girl in front of him was dressed the same as Zhou Wei.

But the face behind the glasses is not a face at all.

Before the man could scream, she pulled out a dagger and held it to his neck: "If you dare scream, I'll stab you right in, understand?"

Tang Yueqiu nodded repeatedly, his eyes filled with undisguised panic.

Shi Jinwei gestured for him to sit down in the chair, first found something to gag him, and then tied him up tightly.

The office door is very similar to the hospital door, with a glass panel in the middle.

However, to protect the privacy of the staff, a small curtain was also installed.

Shi Jinwei quickly stepped forward and drew the small curtains before beginning to interrogate Tang Yueqiu.

"I'll ask you a few questions. Answer honestly. If you satisfy me, I won't kill you. If I don't, you know the consequences."

She toyed with the gun in her hand, her expression indifferent, but her eyes held an undisguised murderous intent as she looked at the man.

While hiding in the supply room, I could tell from the way he and the man in white were playing tai chi that this man was a cunning fellow.

If you don't deal with this kind of person ruthlessly, he will definitely resort to crooked ideas.

Tang Yueqiu initially held onto a sliver of hope, seeing that it was just a young girl.

But when he met her gaze, he dared not have any wicked thoughts and nodded repeatedly.

She pulled the contents out of his mouth, pressed the gun against the man's forehead, and said nothing more.

Tang Yueqiu felt the cold muzzle of the gun on his forehead and swallowed hard. "Big sister, whatever you want to know, I will tell you everything I know."

"Vaccine." He only said two words.

The man looked enlightened, and fearing she might be impatient, he immediately said, "The national news has already said that we still have to wait for clinical trials."

She sneered, "You think I'd believe that, given that I'm standing right here?"

Seeing the man's pained expression, but his eyes were darting around, she directly used the knife to cut open the skin on his neck.

Blood dripped down the tip of the knife and onto his white coat.

The man winced in pain, his eyes once again filled with panic.

"Try talking nonsense again," she threatened, her eyes growing colder and her expression turning hostile.

Tang Yueqiu knew there was no escaping it, and sighed, "Since you know a vaccine has already been developed, what else do you want me to say?"

"Which floor is the research lab on? How do I get in?"

"The three underground levels require authorized personnel to access," he said, as if he had finally given up the struggle.

Shi Jinwei frowned: "You don't have the authority?"

"Ma'am, look at my name tag. I'm just a logistics person, what authority do I have? But this young lady does; she's Professor Chen's assistant." He gestured with his chin towards Shi Jinwei's name tag.

Seeing the little girl's "don't lie to me" expression, he nodded seriously: "It's true, Professor Chen is the senior researcher in charge of vaccine development."

He then described the project's progress and the people involved, which didn't seem like a fabrication.

When Jinwei asked about the permissions issue, he didn't hide anything from her.

All staff members who are allowed to enter the underground area have had their fingerprints and iris scans recorded.

This means that even if Shi Jinwei disguises herself as Zhou Wei's twin sister, she will not be able to enter the underground.

In terms of security, the underground security system is also the most advanced in the country.

The building materials alone are comparable to those of the safe houses in Anrong City—fireproof, waterproof, bulletproof, and impervious to explosives.

If we can't break through with brute force, we have to outsmart them.

This man doesn't have much authority, so she has to bring in someone with authority.
