Prof Gao finally snapped out of his thoughts after some time and reiterated the things he witnessed that night. "I was very worried about the things in my lab, so I paid no attention to Yuan Huan. He offered to give chase and genuinely disappeared for a few minutes."
He knew the academy inside out, so a few minutes was more than enough for him to steal the research archives.
President Cao narrowed his eyes. "Do you know what time he's coming in today?"
Prof Gao shook his head and replied. "I don't know either. Shall I call him and tell him to come over?"
"No, you can't," interrupted Director Xi from the side. "He's a cautious man. If you call him out of the blue, it will only raise his suspicions."
President Cao looked at Director Xi. "What should we do then?"
Director Xi rapped his fingers gently on his knee with a stern look on his face. He was unable to come up with any good ideas for now.
The office instantly went quiet.
