Chapter 608 The Incident From Six Years Ago

• "That was a state secret, something the average person simply couldn't find out about. That is also why you couldn't find any information about Yosef later on. After this incident, all of his records were destroyed, and it wasn't just him. The records of everyone involved in this incident were also completely wiped out."
• Winnie's expression became even more serious than before as she continued, "Actually, this matter is not allowed to be publicized, which is why I didn't explain it to Yuvan earlier. After all, he was once Yosef, and I feel that I owe an explanation to both him and the deceased Yosef. However, I am currently unsure about his identity and stance, so I dare not recklessly disclose the state secrets of Yartran. However, I know that I can confide in you guys as I'm certain you won't reveal the information. This matter has been weighing heavily on my heart for a long time, suffocating me. For the first two years, I couldn't even sleep peacefully. Wilhelm informed me that foreign secret agents may have infiltrated our research team. Their aim was to steal the scientific research results that Yartran had worked so hard to achieve. Due to suspicions within Yartran's Ministry of Security, they believed that one or more secret agents were among us. As a result, we were temporarily relocated to a new laboratory. The plan was to apprehend the secret agents there, and if necessary, they would not hesitate to eliminate them. However, the Ministry of Security did not communicate these matters to us as everyone was under suspicion, including myself and Yosef. Wilhelm had warned me about this beforehand and urged me to leave as soon as possible. Unfortunately, by the time I received his message, it was already too late. The Ministry of Security's personnel had already engaged in a confrontation with the secret agents. At that time, we were unable to identify the secret agents as everyone was dressed in protective suits and wearing gas masks, making it impossible to see their faces clearly. Later, someone stole the experiment results and detonated the laboratory in an attempt to destroy the evidence. By then, most of the people had already started to flee. It was at that moment that I received an order, not from Wilhelm, but from the Minister of Security of Yartran personally. I stepped outside because I knew the call I was taking involved state secrets, so I was the only one outside at the time. Everyone else was inside the laboratory. The security minister sternly instructed me to lock the lab's main door from the outside and not allow anyone to leave. As no one was certain who the secret agents were, every second was crucial. I couldn't let anyone go since anyone could potentially be the secret agent. Inside, there was the teacher who guided me throughout my internship, the senior I could chat with, the senior who helped me adjust my experimental data, and Yosef. I don't know how many secret agents there were in total. It could be one, two, or more. I didn't know which one of them was a secret agent. While I believed that none of them should die, I didn't have a choice. The security minister informed me that his subordinates were also inside. They were prepared to make sacrifices because the research results absolutely cannot be stolen by other countries. He acknowledged that it might be difficult for me to accept, so he assured me that I wouldn't have to take responsibility for it. He emphasized that I was just following orders, just doing what needed to be done for Yartran."
