"Boss, there's a letter for you." Wang Dazhuang came in carrying a bunch of things, took down the thin letter on top, and placed it in front of Lin Xiaoxiao.
"Thanks." Lin Xiaoxiao opened the envelope and took out the letter inside.
The content above is not text, but a string of dense numbers.
After reading it, she remained calm, showing neither shock nor doubt, as if she had only read an insignificant letter.
Wang Dazhuang asked in confusion, "Who is it? Is it someone from another gang?"
Could it be that the Big Sand Gang and the Triads are challenging them to a fight?
Lin Xiaoxiao folded the letter and put it into the envelope, replying, "It's a private matter."
Wang Dazhuang wisely refrained from asking any further questions.
"Then you go ahead with your work, I'll go keep an eye on the people below." After saying that, he left the simple office.
The moment the door closed, Lin Xiaoxiao pulled out the letter again, her brows furrowing more and more as she read it.
Guo Qingyun has disappeared?
That evening, Lin Xiaoxiao sneaked back to Guan Yue's courtyard. Everyone was there, including Chu Wuyan.
"When did Guo Qingyun disappear? Where did she disappear?" She didn't waste any words and asked directly, seeing that everyone was there.
Guan Yue also put away her usual playful demeanor, "He went to the Hong Kong Grand Hotel with Perry this morning, and we haven't been in contact since."
Lin Xiaoxiao asked, "Where's Perry?"
"He has safely returned to his residence."
Lin Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes. "So, Guo Qingyun disappeared at the hotel?"
Guan Yue glanced at Guan Shan, "After losing contact, we went to the restaurant to check immediately, but there was no trace of him."
If he were outside, no one could outrun him; he most likely contracted the virus at a restaurant.
Restaurant?
"Who did Perry invite to dinner?" If they went to a restaurant, they must have gone to eat.
Discussing business over meals is an age-old business practice.
At this moment, Chu Wuyan spoke up, "According to my investigation, Perry has made contact with several powerful gangs in the underworld, including the Big Sand Gang, the Triads, the Gonrong Governance Society, and the Tang Clan."
"They've gathered all four major gangs, huh?" Lin Xiaoxiao scoffed.
That's quite a big move.
Ke Run, who came out at the same time as Guo Qingyun and was also a good friend, couldn't help but ask, "Boss, when are we going to rescue Guo Zi?"
Although Huang Jian and Shi Xinglong did not speak, they expressed the same thing as Ke Run.
Guan Yue was more worried, "Boss, we should rescue them as soon as possible, otherwise I'm afraid something might happen."
Although it's common for them, as investigators and special agents, to sacrifice themselves on missions.
But Guo Qingyun had only been with the National Security Bureau for less than two months; he was still a greenhorn, and yet he was killed like this. They all bear responsibility.
Lin Xiaoxiao also had a toothache.
She said that Director Fan was unreliable.
Why let newcomers get involved in such a dangerous mission?
"At this critical juncture, we must not be careless," Lin Xiaoxiao said sharply.
"That old bastard Perry probably knew he was being watched all along. Why did he have to make his move now? It must be for his next move."
“Those members of the undercover team have been very active lately. Although we don’t know where the data is, they are more eager to transport it out than we are.”
The more anxious they are, the more room they have to maneuver.
Various thoughts flashed through her mind, and Lin Xiaoxiao made up her mind: "I'll go rescue Guo Qingyun. Don't make any rash moves. Keep an eye on things and do your jobs well."
Both sides were operating in the shadows. By capturing Guo Qingyun, they might also be trying to extract information from him.
Especially at this crucial juncture of data transfer, they are very afraid that someone might cause trouble at this critical moment.
No one else objected.
Guo Qingyun's disappearance made everyone realize the difficulty of the mission.
Guan Yue previously thought they had the upper hand, not only keeping a close eye on the E-side infiltrator team, but also having tracked down Perry, who was most likely carrying the data.
But their sudden and unannounced departure of Guo Qingyun was tantamount to a resounding slap in the face.
Is it possible that while they are secretly monitoring others, others are also secretly monitoring them?
Guan Yue shivered. She hadn't even noticed anything was wrong, which showed just how strong her opponent was this time.
Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at everyone, as if reminding them, or perhaps warning them, "The agents carefully trained by Country E are not necessarily inferior to you and me."
The fact that country E can be considered a global superpower alongside country M is not only due to its strong military capabilities, but also to its information warfare strength, which is in no way inferior to that of country M.
Their agents are ubiquitous and move freely across the battlefield.
This tiny port city is simply not enough for others to have fun with.
Upon closer reflection, the information they now possess might be what others want them to know.
That foreign businessman, Perry, is most likely a front.
Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes deepened.
Where is the data? And how and through what means will they transport it to Vietnam?
Guan Yue and the others looked like banana leaves after being battered by rain, each one drooping and dejected, their former confidence and spirit seemingly extinguished by a storm.
Seeing their dejected state, Lin Xiaoxiao said helplessly, "Alright, you can't even handle this little setback? What if you had to go into hiding for ten or twenty years? You'd go crazy!"
"Can't you all be a little more capable? Pull yourselves together!"
Chu Wuyan was alright; he was the most senior among them and had completed quite a few tasks over the years.
I failed quite a few times. At first, I couldn't accept it, but I gradually got used to it.
Working in their line of work is no different from fighting the enemy on the battlefield; it's either you die or I live, it all comes down to who has the greater skill.
Victory and defeat are common occurrences in warfare.
Even those top-tier special agents wouldn't dare to boast that they've never failed.
What's more, this isn't even a failure yet; it's just that the other party tricked him.
"If he slaps us once, we'll slap him twice in return."
As Lin Xiaoxiao spoke, she emphasized some more details about the task to them.
The group listened attentively, giving it their all.
After saying that, Lin Xiaoxiao got up to go back.
Chu Wuyan quickly followed.
“I always felt that there was something strange about Guo Qingyun’s disappearance,” he said softly.
The streets were dark at night, the lights flickering on and off, and it was so quiet that you could hear the wind blowing. The homeless man huddled in a corner by the roadside, not even lifting his eyelids when he heard footsteps.
Lin Xiaoxiao stroked her belly; the little one was unusually active tonight, constantly moving.
After walking for a while, she said, "If that batch of documents falls into the hands of the Yue Kingdom, there will be quite a few people who would be happy to see it happen."
This was no longer a sparring match between them and agents from Country E.
It is not a contest between multiple forces.
It all comes down to who has the higher rank.
Chu Wuyan frowned. "Things are getting more and more complicated."
Lin Xiaoxiao chuckled lightly, "Why don't you just think about it in a simpler way?"
Their goal was always that document.
If you can't get it, steal it; if you can't steal it, destroy it.
