As Su Qianli listened to Uncle Nian’s account, all signs pointed to the involvement of an insider. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for someone to arrive to purchase the new rice seeds just as they had reached a breakthrough stage. Moreover, if the perpetrator had only been coveting the new seeds, stealing the seeds and the plants would have sufficed.
In reality, however, the culprit had not only used forged letters as evidence but had also deliberately arranged for people to approach Elder Jin and Uncle Nian in an attempt to cement the charge of selling off research results. This was no simple theft; it was clearly a calculated move to destroy Elder Jin and Uncle Nian. Su Qianli pondered this, concluding that the person with the greatest motive at the time must have been Huang Hao, who had immediately leveraged the Jin Family’s forced relocation to pressure Jin Rui into a divorce.
Thinking of this, Su Qianli looked up at Uncle Nian and asked, "When the frame-up involving the sale of the rice seeds failed to go as planned, there must have been an inside accomplice at the research institute. Did the public security bureau ever catch them?"
