Chapter 204 Viewing the Ceremony

Given that Lin Liuyi suddenly went on a business trip to another world, which caused her to feel unwell, she had no choice but to end her travels.

Zhou Zheng was urging her, and she checked the time and it was about time, so she went back to the research institute with Long Wu and Long Liu.

"So, why was I kidnapped?" The first thing Lin Liuyi wanted to know when the investigation was going.

Zhou Zheng looked at her with a serious expression. "What we've found so far is that one of the institute's staff members has been infiltrated. Foreign countries have been paying close attention to the progress of our country's projects. Recently, our progress has been too fast, which has attracted their attention. So they sent people to inquire, and as a result, one of our staff members betrayed us."

Lin Liuyi's eyes widened. "They know it was me?"

Zhou Zheng sighed, unsure of what to say.

In fact, the other party did not know that Lin Liuyi was the contributor to many projects. The traitorous researcher did not know either. The other party just felt that Lin Liuyi did nothing at the research institute, but every time a result was produced, she would be included. They thought she was the child of some big shot who came to get a prestigious title, so they held a grudge.

When foreign spies came to inquire, the rebellious researchers took the opportunity to push Lin Liuyi out.

"What? I'm the child of a big shot? That's ridiculous! How could this researcher think like that?" Lin Liuyi was very puzzled after hearing this.

"It's probably because he got in through connections," Zhou Zheng revealed the truth.

"Alright, alright," Lin Liuyi almost laughed in exasperation.

"Does she mean she thinks everyone got in through connections, so why should my contribution be greater than his? How can such a confidential research institute allow people to get in through connections?" Lin Liuyi questioned.

If she were truly unarmed, she might have been taken away, and she wouldn't have a good life then.

What can Zhou Zheng say about this? In a society like China where personal connections matter, a researcher who gets in through back channels is not in an important position at all, which is why the other party doesn't know how important Lin Liuyi is.

However, it was precisely because he was not an important person that he aroused the other party's jealousy, which led to Lin Liuyi being kidnapped.

He sighed. "This was a mistake on our part, but don't worry, we've thoroughly investigated the entire institute from top to bottom. As for backdoor deals, they're completely eliminated now."

"Don't worry, don't worry," Lin Liuyi said without a word. "How could she not be at ease?"

I was already caught in an undeserved disaster, and I thought I could just let it pass by so easily.

Seeing that Lin Liuyi remained silent, Zhou Zheng had no choice but to continue discussing the follow-up treatment of the researcher.

“The researcher has now been arrested, his family is under investigation, and those involved in using connections have been punished.”

"Isn't this what we should do?" Lin Liuyi replied.

"Yes, that's right. We've also arrested those foreign spies. We'll be sending some people over to your place, so don't worry, nothing like this will ever happen again," Zhou Zheng assured him.

"Forget it," Lin Liu thought to himself, "I'd better just stuff more life-saving items into my spatial storage."

She pursed her lips and said, "Fine, I hope it's true." Then she turned to leave.

She had only taken two steps when Zhou Zheng stopped her and asked her to look at the dress.

"Is this for real this time?" Lin Liuyi took two steps, then couldn't help but confirm again.

Zhou Zheng said seriously, "It's true, it's true, absolutely true. I'll be with you this time. If something happens, we'll both be in trouble."

Alright, since Zhou Zheng has said so, Lin Liuyi went with him to try on clothes.

It arrived quickly; it was National Day.

As dawn broke, the first rays of sunlight gently bathed the square, as if draping this sacred place in a golden veil.

The five-star red flag fluttered quietly in the breeze, as if waiting for that solemn moment.

Lin Liuyi, dressed in military uniform, stood on the city wall with a group of people. She saw the crowd surging in from all directions, like trickles of water converging into a sea, and stood on the outer edge of the square.

There were children wearing red scarves, their eyes full of longing and curiosity, holding their parents' hands tightly; there were elderly people with white hair, their bodies hunched over, but their eyes were bright, full of reminiscence and pride for the past years; and there were soldiers in neat uniforms, their postures as upright as pine trees, their faces resolute and strong, radiating a reassuring power.

As the stirring national anthem began, all was silent for a moment, with only the powerful singing echoing in the air above the square.

They all faced the national flag, stood at attention, chests held high, their hearts surging with patriotic fervor.

That bright red flag slowly rose amidst the singing, seemingly carrying the nation's glory and hope, climbing little by little into the sky.

After the ceremony, a burst of enthusiastic cheers and applause erupted from the crowd, the sound rolling and soaring into the sky.

Next up was the main event, the military parade. Even Lin Liuyi didn't know what weapons the country would display today.

The invited foreign journalists didn't dare to relax for a moment, constantly snapping photos with their cameras, and their video cameras were always on, afraid of missing anything.

Soon, the army formation marched in with overwhelming momentum, their green uniforms like an endless forest, their rifles gleaming coldly in the sunlight.

The soldiers' movements were so synchronized, as if they had been copied and pasted. Their arm swings were at the same height, their leg kicks were at the same angle, and the ground trembled when their feet landed.

They are the lions of the land, guarding every inch of the motherland's territory. They have emerged from the flames of war, carrying a spirit of bravery and fearlessness, and are striding towards the goal of building a strong military in the new era.

Foreign journalists may not have realized that the army formation was different, but Lin Liuyi could tell at a glance that the army's uniforms seemed to have changed. They were somewhat similar to the uniforms in the documents that Princess Mingyue had obtained. These uniforms were not only temperature-controlled, fireproof and waterproof, but also lightweight and easy to wear, and even had a slight bulletproof function.

It seems that domestic experts are indeed impressive, having replicated interstellar technology so quickly.

After the army marched past, the navy contingent entered amidst gasps of amazement.

Lin Liuyi couldn't help but laugh. The soldiers were dressed in pristine white uniforms, but they rode in on dolphins.

Lin Liuyi immediately recognized that those dolphins were the flying motorcycle she had test-driven last time, only its appearance had been modified to resemble dolphins, hence the appearance of dolphins swimming through the white waves.

The appearance of the air force next was even more impressive, with soldiers carrying guns and flying over from a distance on gliders.

When they were right in front of the city gate, they even performed a show on jib boards, flying high, turning right and left, spinning around, and then coming back – it was incredibly cool.

Lin Liuyi could already see how wide the foreign reporters' mouths were agape, and the cameras in his hands were clicking incessantly.

It's easy to imagine that the internet will be in an uproar after today.
