Part 2 Hello, Mr. Major General I'm Gu Nianzi

239. No traces!

Gu Nianzhi returned to her room, still very excited. She tossed and turned in bed for a while before finally falling into a deep slumber.
The next morning, the alarm sounded and she opened her eyes, the mission for the day making her eager as she got up. After washing up quickly, she had breakfast and left her apartment, laptop in hand. She actually didn't have class in the morning, but in order to find an excuse to go to the School of Engineering, she had decided to go to the Law School early and study alone in one of the classrooms.
Between eight and nine in the morning, the number of students and professors in the school increased and the campus grew lively again after a night of quiet. Gu Nianzhi had a plan in place. She used the her school's intranet to access the School of Electronic Engineering's private homepage, as well as all the information pertaining to the labs, lab mentors, areas of research, and also the masters and doctoral students enrolled.
Gu Nianzhi glanced over the list of names and one group stood out in particular. The area of research was confidential and there were no traces of it on the internet. Only the names of the participating members were listed. Judging from the titles, all the participants were all post-doctorates, associate professors and even professors, but the group leader was a doctorate student who had only come to Harvard not long ago and hadn't even taken the doctoral qualification examination before leading the group.
Gu Nianzhi's gaze paused on the photo of the group leader. It was an image of a young woman who she assumed was from the Huxia Empire. She had graduated from the renowned T University's Department of Precision Instruments and came to Harvard two years ago to study as a doctoral student. Her name was Xin Xinggao. Possessing such qualifications, coming to a prestigious and world famous school to study, leading a team of far more qualified members, and then being part of a secretive research group, all of these things added up, causing a smile to bloom on Gu Nianzhi's face. She wouldn't have to go to the School of Engineering to find the right direction of investigation, after all.
She only needed to do two things: first, she checked Harvard's Huaxia Empire Students' Association's homepage to check their events calendar. Because it was the summer break, not many students were attending classes, but there would be many students' association activities in the session. That afternoon, the Students' Association had a networking event. Gu Nianzhi saw that among the organizers, one was a postdoctoral student from the School of Engineering. I must go check out this event! Gu Nianzhi's smile widened as she bookmarked the page. Secondly, she downloaded Xing Xinggao's CV from the School of Engineering's network and sent it to Yin Shixiong to have him ask one of the Imperial Special Ops personnel to look at her information. They would check her field of research as well as her research experience during her time at T University, in addition to her family background and social relations. The second task was commonplace for the Special Ops to handle, so it would be easy enough.
