The next morning, before dawn, the whole world was still immersed in tranquility.

Xia Wan and Xia Tao got up early and rode their bicycles towards the county town.

Their haste wasn't due to urgent work or a need to rush, but rather because Xia Wan was constantly thinking about the mysterious Mr. Guo.

Instead of aimlessly searching for opportunities to confirm the person's identity at the steel factory, Xia Wan felt it would be more appropriate to go directly to the residence where she had previously followed Mr. Guo.

So, relying on their memories, the brother and sister rode their bicycles all the way to the alley they had visited before, finally arriving at dawn. There was still plenty of time before they had to go to work, enough for them to wait there.

"Alright, brother, this is it! Let's wait here for a while." Xia Wan pointed to a house deep in the alley and said softly, "This is the house. When I secretly followed them here the other day, I saw that only the person surnamed Guo lived there."

Xia Tao nodded silently, his lips twitching slightly as if he wanted to say something, but he ultimately swallowed his words.

He pulled out a steaming hot bun from the state-run restaurant he had just bought and handed it to his sister, saying, "Xiao Wan, have something to eat first, you have to rush to work later, don't you?"

Actually, Xia Tao originally wanted to give his younger sister a good talking-to and warn her not to do such dangerous things again in the future.

After all, what if something bad happens to someone who has followed another person to an unfamiliar town late at night?

But seeing his sister's determined look, he couldn't bring himself to say the words.

But then he thought about it again. He realized that the skills his younger sister had displayed yesterday had already turned her world upside down, so he decided not to say anything more.

"Brother, you should eat too! How about this, you go to the transportation company and take care of your business first, I'll keep an eye on things here, no problem at all! Besides, my working hours are very flexible, so it's okay if I'm a little late today."

As she said this, she looked at her brother Xia Tao with a firm gaze.

In fact, she had already made up her mind that she had to find out the truth about that Guo guy first. If it delayed her work time, she could just skip work today.

Anyway, with her salary, she only needs to work five days a month.

After hearing his sister's words, Xia Tao thought for a moment, then raised his wrist to check his watch, roughly estimated the time, and said:

"Hmm... I'm not in a big hurry. I already arranged a specific time for loading with someone yesterday. I should be able to make it over after they've finished loading the goods."

After saying that, he continued to eat his breakfast.

Xia Wan nodded and didn't say anything more. She knew her brother's job best.

The brother and sister quickly and simply finished their breakfast in the alley.

At this time, the sounds of people getting up from one household to another began to come from all around. Some people opened their windows to let in fresh air, while others called for people to cook in their yards.

Seeing this, Xia Wan felt she couldn't delay any longer, so she stood up, nimbly climbed over the wall, and jumped into the Guo family's yard.

Xia Tao stayed outside the wall to provide backup in case of any unexpected situations.

At this time, the Guo family's house remained quiet and still, without any sound.

Xia Wan carefully observed her surroundings for a while, then quickly took out a black cloth from her personal storage space and covered her face. She then tiptoed to the door, took out a tool, and skillfully pried open the lock.

Inside the house, Mr. Guo was sound asleep, completely unaware that danger was closing in.

Xia Wan appeared silently by the bedside like a ghost and, with lightning speed, put a large sack over Mr. Guo's head.

Poor Mr. Guo didn't even know what was happening before he was beating up in a sack.

She never intended to take this person away; instead, she planned to beat him up right there and get some information from the system.

In this way, no one should easily suspect them.

However, after careful consideration, in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, Xia Wan made a tough decision to take even more ruthless measures and break the man's legs!

This way, at least it will ensure that this guy won't be able to get out of bed for at least the next two months, thus giving them ample time to carefully plan the follow-up matters.

After beating the man up, Xia Wan didn't hesitate and spent 500 points to check some basic information about the man surnamed Guo.

Sure enough, based on the initial information obtained, this person was completely different from A Yue.

Not only does he have a confirmed real name, but he also clearly holds a high position in the Guo family in the capital.

Xia Wan immediately preserved these valuable materials and made plans to study them carefully after returning to her residence.

I have to say, those 500 points were definitely worth it!

Not only did they successfully find the information they needed, but they were also able to save it completely so they could access it anytime, anywhere.

In comparison, the simple query function is much less useful.

After all, that thing only allows users to quickly browse the relevant information at that time. Once the short 15-minute time limit is exceeded, all the data will disappear without a trace, just like fleeting clouds!

If you want to record all that complicated information by hand, it would be too time-consuming and energy-intensive, and it would be a huge challenge to your memory!

After a fierce beating, Xia Wan stopped and carefully observed the person lying on the kang (a heated brick bed). Only after confirming that he was still breathing and had not been seriously injured did she breathe a sigh of relief.

Without the slightest hesitation, she turned and leaped lightly, grabbing the top of the wall with both hands and using the momentum to climb over it again. The whole process was smooth and effortless, without wasting even a second.

"Xiao Wan? Why so fast? Is no one inside?"

Hearing the noise, Xia Tao looked up and immediately saw that his sister had successfully climbed over the wall.

To his further surprise, his sister came out empty-handed, without the person they had expected to be there to arrest. Could it be that the guy surnamed Guo wasn't home?

Xia Wan quickly walked to her brother's side and said in a low voice, "To avoid alerting the enemy, we can't take them away for now. But after this lesson, that Guo guy won't be able to bother with us for at least two or three months."

Without waiting for a reply, she grabbed Xia Tao and hurriedly walked away, saying, "Brother, this isn't the place to talk. I've got some more information. Let's go outside and talk first!"
