Chapter 872: Who Helped?
Zhang Qing instantly was triggered when he heard what Min Yu said. After a moment, the hand resting on his belt steadied itself as though he was getting ready to draw his weapon.
Zhang Qing’s men standing in the hall immediately raised their lethal-looking guns and pointed them in the same direction.
“I suggest you stop trying to threaten me,” said Zhang Qing coolly.
The moment he finished his sentence, the atmosphere in the room intensified.
Zhuo Yun wanted to attack, but Min Yu stood up at that moment. He walked up in front of Zhang Qing confidently before coming to a halt and looking down at Zhang Qing condescendingly. “Are you worthy of my threats?”
Even though Zhang Qing was a seasoned high-ranking official, he instinctively stepped back the moment he made eye contact with Min Yu. He automatically acted like a mouse who had run into a cat.
“You…” After some time, Zhang Qing was unable to finish his sentence.
Meanwhile, Yang Yi walked over with a murderous aura as he disregarded the armed men inside the room. He walked up to Zhang Qing and held a set of printed documents in mid-air. “Deputy Director Zhang, perhaps you should take a look at this before you speak any further.”
Zhang Qing frowned as he looked at the documents. He saw the first few paragraphs on the document and instantly became worried before he snatched the documents from Yang Yi with a snap. After swiftly reading through a few lines, his hands started to tremble.
Yang Yi sneered coldly when he noticed Zhang Qing’s reaction. “Why don’t you just get straight to the last page? I must say that it took me some time to crack the encryption.”
There were dozens of audio files in the encrypted file, so it was hard to find something in common between them. Moreover, all the common words combined formed a cipher.
Cipher and morse code worked the same way, but cipher was even harder than morse code. If Yang Yi did not previously study ciphers, he would not have managed to decrypt Zhang Qing’s recordings.
Zhang Qing was genuinely a cautious man.
Naturally, if it contained just a single recording, Yang Yi might not have succeeded in deciphering it. Zhang Qing thought he was helping to cover his tracks by producing dozens of recordings, but Yang Yi ended up finding something in common and managed to crack it.
Zhang Qing had already skipped to the last page. The moment he saw the words written on it, he nearly passed out.
“What do you think is the punishment for divulging national military secrets?”
Yang Yi’s words struck Zhang Qing deeply. His hands froze and the document fluttered onto the ground.
“Why… why do you have this?” Zhang Qing had lost his proud air. He had clearly encrypted the files and did not even save them on his computer.
Yang Yi smiled and said, “If you do not want to get caught, then don’t do it. It’s that simple, right?”
Zhang Qing stumbled a step. He was done for.

After Zhang Qing left, Zhuo Yun picked up the documents on the ground and looked at the text that was decoded from the audio files. He looked at Yang Yi and was terribly impressed. “This is awesome. I can’t believe you managed to decipher this. Now we can use it against Zhang Qing.”
All the words mentioned in the audio files sounded absolutely mundane and did not seem fishy at all.
Yang Yi lowered his eyes and said nothing.
He was already at fault for approving the weapons sales. If he did not make up for it, how could he have the cheek to continue working for his boss?
Min Yu glanced at Yang Yi before sitting back onto the couch.
He casually placed his hand on his knee and a thought crossed his mind, so he asked. “Who helped the buyer to purchase weapons?”
