The director and deputy director looked at each other. They knew what it meant to get interrogated by the Ministry of National Security. The suspects would undergo the cruelest tortures and even the innocent could end up getting blamed for crimes they did not commit.
Everyone knew Lei Xiao's personality well. The ministry officials were accusing him of stealing academy research archives but it made no sense at all.
The Ministry of National Security was directly involved in the investigation. The director of the Virus Research Institute suspected that they were unable to find the true culprit within the academy, so they turned their eyes towards them hoping to find a scapegoat.
Lei Xiao was the perfect fall guy.
He was a researcher at the Virus Research Institute. The moment Lei Xiao was found guilty, the implications would be very serious and it would affect the entire institute. The institute would become a laughingstock.
