"What's missing?" Jian Yiling asked.
"That's the strange part. The data at our institution is stored separately. So far, they've only broken into our internal staff database."
A lot of the Institution's data was not stored on the Internet. Instead, the data was stored locally to ensure the security of the data.
Furthermore, the researchers used a local area network on a day-to-day basis. They didn't connect to the external network.
The most valuable thing in their Institution was the data they collected.
Someone had gone to the trouble of sneaking into their Institution. However, instead of getting into the vault where they stored their research data, they had chosen to open the Institution's staff database instead.
This was somewhat puzzling.
Out of all the staff at the Institution, the one whose identity was by far the most mysterious to the outside world was Jian Yiling.
