Li Hanliang hesitated slightly, but still decided to express his concerns: "Governor Lin, I think this report is probably not an isolated incident. Our project is a key national project, and the confidentiality measures are very strict. If there were no internal problems, it would be difficult for outsiders to understand the details of our research."

Governor Lin nodded, his expression turning serious: "I've also considered this. After all, such a thing can't happen out of thin air. Are there any suspicious people or situations within your team?"

Li Hanliang shook his head: "So far, no obvious problems have been found, but I will immediately strengthen internal security management and launch an investigation as soon as possible. I believe we should be able to find some clues."

Governor Lin nodded in satisfaction: "Very good. Safety first. Report to me any progress you make."

After a brief farewell, Li Hanliang quickly returned to the laboratory.

Inside the laboratory, technicians were organizing the last of the data.

"Thank you all for your hard work," Li Hanliang said. "Next, we need to not only continue to advance the project, but also strengthen internal security management. This whistleblower was very likely an inside job."

Just then, technical advisor Wu Di asked suspiciously, "Comrade Li Hanliang, are you saying there's a mole among us?"

Li Hanliang nodded: "The possibility is very high, so we must be vigilant to prevent similar incidents from happening again."

Another young researcher looked nervous: "What should we do now? We can't all be suspicious of each other, can we? That would affect the work atmosphere."

Li Hanliang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will find a suitable way to investigate and try not to disturb everyone's daily work. Now, let's do our current tasks well and ensure that the project progress is not affected."

Everyone nodded and returned to their respective work stations.

A moment later, the entire laboratory was bustling with activity again.

Work is in full swing in the laboratory, and everyone is doing their best to advance the project.

While coordinating technical issues, Li Hanliang silently observed everyone's every move, trying to find clues about the mole.

Meanwhile, Li Hanliang was in his office discussing with Wu Di how to strengthen security measures.

"We must take some measures to ensure that internal information is not leaked," Li Hanliang said seriously.

Wu Di nodded in agreement: "We can consider installing some surveillance cameras, strengthening the access control system, and conducting regular internal audits."

A few days later, the tense atmosphere in the laboratory eased slightly, but everyone became even more cautious.

The access control system has enhanced security measures, requiring strict verification of all personnel entering and exiting, and surveillance cameras are ubiquitous.

That morning, Li Hanliang walked into the laboratory as usual and found that the technicians had already started working.

He nodded, signaling everyone to continue, and walked straight to Wu Di's workbench.

"Old Wu, how have things been lately?" Li Hanliang asked with concern.

Wu Di looked up at him, a hint of seriousness flashing across his face: "It's still relatively normal, but something feels off. Everyone is more vigilant than before."

Just then, a young researcher suddenly walked over and said in a low voice with a nervous expression, "Professor Li, I've discovered something."

Li Hanliang raised an eyebrow: "What is it?"

"Last night, while I was organizing the data, I accidentally noticed that some files seemed to have been touched, but these files haven't been used in a long time," the young researcher explained anxiously.

Li Hanliang and Wu Di exchanged glances, realizing the seriousness of the situation.

“Take me to see it,” Li Hanliang said.

The three of them went to the document area and carefully examined the documents that were suspected of being tampered with.

Indeed, the folder's location and cover had been slightly altered, indicating that someone had clearly looked through it.

Li Hanliang frowned: "It seems the person is still in the lab. We must find this person as soon as possible, or we'll be in trouble."

Just then, a commotion arose at the door.

A technician rushed in, panting, and said, "There were two strangers acting suspiciously outside the door. I asked them who they were looking for, but they wouldn't say and just left."

The atmosphere inside the laboratory became tense again. Li Hanliang quickly arranged for technicians to strengthen surveillance at the entrance and instructed everyone to be on high alert.

During the lunch break, the people in the lab gathered together for lunch. Several young technicians were whispering among themselves.

"Do you think someone is really sabotaging this report behind the scenes?" a technician whispered.

Another person chimed in, "Very likely, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence? Our project is a key national project; how could an ordinary person possibly know so much about it?"

Li Hanliang listened silently to their conversation, his resolve to find the mole growing stronger.

After lunch, everyone returned to their respective work stations.

A subtle atmosphere permeated the laboratory; everyone was silently completing their tasks while secretly observing others.

Just then, a technician suddenly exclaimed, "Something's wrong! This critical data file seems to have been tampered with!"

Everyone immediately crowded around. Li Hanliang stepped forward to check.

He noticed that some key parameters in the file had been modified beyond recognition. His face darkened.

"Back up all the original data immediately to prevent further damage!" Li Hanliang ordered sternly.

He then turned to the crowd and said, "Please remain calm. We will find the person behind this, but until then, we must ensure that the project is not affected."

The technicians immediately began their busy repair work.

At this moment, Wu Di whispered to Li Hanliang, "This situation must be reported to Governor Lin so that he can help coordinate."

Li Hanliang nodded in agreement: "Okay, I will contact him."

At the same time, the number of security personnel outside the laboratory has increased, and they are all working overtime to patrol and not let any suspicious signs go unnoticed.

In the evening, Li Hanliang called Governor Lin and gave him a detailed report on the unusual situation that had occurred that day.

“Governor Lin, we have discovered that the documents have been tampered with, which may mean that the mole’s operation has already begun,” Li Hanliang said in a serious voice.

Governor Lin was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone: "Okay, I will send more security personnel to assist you, and at the same time, I will increase the intensity of the internal investigation."

After hanging up the phone, Li Hanliang returned to the lab and announced to everyone: "The higher-ups have agreed to send more manpower to support us, but we also need to do something ourselves. Now, we need to unite and ensure the project proceeds smoothly."

The technicians all said, "Teacher Li, don't worry, we will do our best."
