The next morning, Lin Chen was already at his desk before anyone else.
He didn't sleep much — not because of excitement, but because something about the Yu Zhen file just didn't sit right.
He re-read the toxicology report three times. The numbers whispered a secret.
"According to this," he murmured, "they gave her a double dose on Day Two… But why? And why cover it up?"
[System hint: A clue may lie in video surveillance archives, internal access level required.]
"Of course… because nothing's ever easy."
Suddenly, his work terminal blacked out.
Within seconds, the screen displayed: ACCESS DENIED — SECURITY CHECK IN PROGRESS.
At the same time, Su Wanwan burst in.
"Come with me."
Her voice was different today — less ice, more urgency.
Inside a meeting room sat three people:
A company HR rep, a legal consultant, and… the gray-suited man from yesterday.
"Mr. Lin," the HR woman began, "due to your unauthorized access to confidential materials, we have reason to initiate an internal inquiry—"
"I didn't access anything unauthorized," Lin Chen interrupted calmly. "I was told to start with folder X3-A07. That's where I found the file."
The legal advisor frowned slightly. "That folder was not approved for intern review."
"Then maybe you should talk to the person who assigned it to me." He turned to Su Wanwan.
She said nothing.
The silence was sharp.
"I see," Lin Chen smiled wryly. "Trial period really means trial by fire, huh?"
The gray-suited man finally spoke: "You're just a temporary hire. Don't overstep."
Then he slid a document across the table: "Confidentiality Violation Agreement".
Sign it, stay quiet, and keep the job.
Refuse, and be fired.
Just as Lin Chen was about to answer, a knock came at the door.
A plainly dressed middle-aged woman stood at the doorway, her eyes red and her voice trembling:
"Excuse me... Are you the colleague who once saved Yu Zhen? I... I'm her sister."
She held out a small USB drive.
"This... this is a video she recorded before she died. She said she didn't die from illness. Please... take a look at it."
Everyone in the room froze.
Even Su Wanwan.
Lin Chen's eyes narrowed.
"Looks like the real trial just started."
第二天一早,林尘比所有人都来得更早.
他几乎一夜没睡.
不是因为紧张,而是那个叫"余珍"的病例太过反常.
他已经把毒理报告读了三遍,越读越不对劲.
"第二天的药量,居然是第一天的两倍..."他喃喃道,"为什么?而且为什么要修改记录?"
[系统提示:可能的线索存在于监控资料中.需要更高访问权限.]
"果然,哪有白给的真相."
就在这时,他的电脑屏幕忽然一黑.
随即跳出提示:访问终止——正在进行安全检查.
办公室门开了,苏婉婉气势汹汹地走进来.
"跟我来."
她今天的语气,与平日不同,少了冷漠,多了焦急.
会议室内,已坐好三人:
人力代表,一位法务顾问,还有——那位西装中年人.
"林先生,"人力代表开始发言,"因你未授权读取内部资料,公司有理由启动内部调查"
"我没有私自访问,"林尘打断她,"我被指示从X3-A07文件夹开始,那里面就有那份档案."
法务皱了皱眉:"那一类档案,不在实习权限内."
"那你们应该去问,是谁给我安排的."
他看向苏婉婉.
她沉默.
空气一度凝固.
"原来试用期是这么'试'的?"林尘笑了笑,语气却带着讥讽.
西装男缓缓开口:"你只是个临时工,别太把自己当回事."
他递过来一份文件:"保密违规处理协议".
签了,留下;
不签,走人.
林尘正欲回应,门口传来轻轻的敲门声.
一位中年女子站在门外,衣着普通,双眼红肿,声音颤抖:
"请问...是你救过余珍的那位医生吗?我...我是她的姐姐."
她递上一枚U盘.
"这是...她死前录的一段视频.她说自己不是病死的...求你,看看它."
房间内,瞬间鸦雀无声.
连苏婉婉,也屏住了呼吸.
林尘眼神一沉.
"看来,真正的考验才刚刚开始."
