I was a rookie reporter in the 00s

As night fell, Zhang Wanqing, Fu Siyuan, and Li Wei, dressed in black nightgowns, quietly approached the back door of the factory. Their movements were swift and cautious, and every breath was filled with vigilance.

Fu Siyuan used his skills to easily crack the electronic lock on the back door. The door slowly opened, and they quickly entered the factory. The factory was dim and empty, with only the occasional sound of machinery breaking the silence.

They carefully walked through the production line and came to the vaccine storage area, where they found vaccines from the same batch.

In the storage area, Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan quickly collected vaccine samples. Li Wei stood guard at the door, his eyes alert, ready to respond to any security guards who might appear.

"We got it," Zhang Wanqing's voice was filled with excitement, and the vaccine sample in her hand gleamed in the dim light.

Li Wei said with some doubt, "It's not that simple. You can easily enter and get the vaccine samples. Do you think the pharmaceutical company is so stupid? To let you get what you want so easily?"

On the way back, Li Wei was thinking about something. Fu Siyuan also felt that this matter was very strange. Although Zhang Wanqing realized that something was wrong, she couldn't figure out why.

Back in the city, Zhang Wanqing, Fu Siyuan, and Li Wei sent the vaccine samples to an independent laboratory, where scientists began intensive testing.

“We will conduct a full range of tests on the vaccine,” said the head of the laboratory, “including ingredient analysis and safety testing.”

Zhang Wanqing, Fu Siyuan and Li Wei were nervously waiting for the results, their hearts filled with anticipation and worry.

A few days later, the lab results came back. They showed the vaccine passed muster. As expected, there were no issues.

So the three of them discussed the matter together again and prepared what to do next.

Zhang Wanqing, Fu Siyuan, and Li Wei once again stood outside the pharmaceutical factory, their gazes piercing the barbed wire as they gazed at the building, which looked particularly eerie in the night. After their initial infiltration, they had already gained a preliminary understanding of the factory's layout, but this time, their goal was more specific: to uncover the secret laboratory within.

"We can't be as reckless as we were last time," Zhang Wanqing said in a low but firm voice. "We must find the location of the laboratory and the evidence of their experiments."

Fu Siyuan nodded. In his hand was a pharmaceutical factory floor plan he had obtained from an insider, which marked several possible laboratory locations. "I suspect the laboratory is hidden in one of these marked locations."

Li Wei checked his equipment, his eyes flashing with vigilance. "Once we find the lab, we must act quickly and not give them a chance to react."

Under the cover of night, the three men silently climbed over the barbed wire. Their movements were quick and cautious, and every step was careful to avoid triggering any alarms. They walked through the empty factory area and came to a seemingly ordinary building, which was the location of the laboratory they suspected.

Fu Siyuan quickly cracked the access control system, the door slowly opened, and they entered the building. The corridor inside the building was dim and narrow, and the air was filled with the smell of disinfectant.

They walked along the corridor and came to a heavy iron door. There was no marking on the door, only a complex electronic lock. Fu Siyuan squatted down and began to crack the lock's combination.

"I need time," Fu Siyuan said with a hint of nervousness in his voice, "This lock is more complicated than I thought."

Zhang Wanqing and Li Wei were guarding the door, their eyes scanning the corridor vigilantly, ready to respond to any security guards who might appear at any time.

After some effort, Fu Siyuan finally cracked the electronic lock, and the iron door slowly opened, revealing a spacious laboratory. The interior of the laboratory was brightly lit, and various instruments and test tubes were neatly arranged. In the center was a huge freezer, which stored rows of vaccine samples.

Zhang Wanqing's brow furrowed as she scanned the lab until she spotted a lab report. The report detailed how the lab had mixed several defective vaccines into a batch of approved vaccines for testing on unsuspecting individuals.

Zhang Wanqing speculated that the paralyzed child had most likely been injected with a faulty experimental vaccine. By the time they investigated the same batch of vaccines, the faulty ones had already been administered and disposed of. Therefore, they only received vaccines that had passed inspection, and they could not find any evidence.

"This is simply a crime," Zhang Wanqing said, her voice tinged with anger. "They're actually using humans for experiments."

Fu Siyuan and Li Wei's expressions also became solemn. They knew that this discovery would completely change the nature of the entire incident.

The three quickly began collecting evidence from the laboratory, knowing it would be key to exposing the pharmaceutical company's crimes. Zhang Wanqing meticulously photographed every document and vaccine sample, a determined glint in her eyes.

Fu Siyuan began to download the computer data from the laboratory. He knew that there might be more clues hidden in these data.

Li Wei stood vigilantly at the door of the laboratory, his eyes alert, ready to deal with any possible threats at any time.

Just as they were about to leave the laboratory, a group of security guards suddenly appeared at the end of the corridor. Their eyes revealed vigilance and hostility, and they had obviously noticed the three people's infiltration.

Zhang Wanqing, Fu Siyuan, and Li Wei rushed through the corridors of the pharmaceutical factory. Their footsteps echoed in the empty building, each echo like a countdown to death. Their hearts beat rapidly in their chests, and every breath was filled with tension and anxiety.

"Hurry, this way!" Li Wei's voice was low and nervous. He led Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan through dim corridors, trying to find an exit.

The security guards' footsteps drew closer behind them, their flashlights casting flickering shadows on the wall like chasing ghosts. Beads of sweat formed on Zhang Wanqing's forehead, and she clutched the evidence she had just collected; it was their only hope.

The three ran forward with all their might, followed closely by the security guard, and a tense chase ensued through the corridor. Every turn was filled with danger, every step was filled with urgency.

Just as they were about to escape from the pharmaceutical factory, a strong light suddenly shone on them, and the security guard's voice echoed in the empty corridor: "Don't move, you are surrounded."

Zhang Wanqing, Fu Siyuan, and Li Wei stopped in their tracks, surrounded by security guards, their flashlights and batons flashing coldly in the night. Despair welled up in their hearts, but their eyes still shone with an unyielding glint.

"You can't escape." There was a hint of sarcasm in the security captain's voice and a hint of coldness in his eyes.

Zhang Wanqing clutched the evidence tightly in her hands. She knew it was their only bargaining chip. "We have evidence from your experiments. You can't do this to us."

The security captain sneered, a hint of disdain in his eyes. "Evidence? Here, we are the law."
