Episode 16: Seeking Help



The appearance of this mysterious force was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples and making Ayu and Lin Yu's already unpredictable investigation even more perplexing.

Chapter Four: Secret Probing

Lin Yu decided to take the initiative and try to find out the details of this mysterious force. Relying on his connections in both the legitimate and underworld circles, he began to quietly inquire whether any other forces were investigating anything related to the mysterious organization or underground banks.

After some twists and turns, Lin Yu obtained some vague information. It was rumored that this mysterious force might be an investigation team secretly cultivated by a large conglomerate, specifically responsible for handling confidential matters involving the conglomerate's interests. However, the veracity of this information remained to be verified, as there was no conclusive evidence.

After discussing it, Ayu and Lin Yu decided to set a small trap to lure this mysterious force out. They deliberately released some false information to some people in the underground banks, saying that they had key clues about the flow of the mysterious funds and that they would meet with an important informant at a specific time and place to hand them over.

On the appointed day, Lin Yu and A Yu arrived early at the secluded abandoned warehouse, found a hidden spot, and waited quietly. Time ticked by, and just when they thought their plan might not work, they heard faint footsteps outside the warehouse.

Several agile people dressed in dark clothes cautiously entered, looking around as if searching for something. Lin Yu and A Yu held their breath, observing their every move.

Suddenly, the other party seemed to sense something was wrong. One of them whispered, "It seems like a trap. Let's retreat!" As soon as he finished speaking, the group quickly turned around and prepared to leave.

Seeing this, Lin Yu knew he couldn't let them go so easily. He rushed out from his hiding place and shouted, "Who are you? Why have you been following us and investigating our matter?"

The group of people paused for a moment, then one of them, who seemed to be the leader, sized up Lin Yu and said coldly, "Who we are is not important. You'd better not interfere in this matter anymore, or you'll be in for a world of hurt." With that, they turned and left quickly without looking back.

Lin Yu and A Yu exchanged a glance, their hearts filled with doubt. The attitude of this mysterious force made them feel that there was something much more to it than met the eye. But they had no way out and could only continue to investigate.

Chapter 5: An Unexpected Clue

Although that probe didn't fully uncover the identity of the mysterious force, it unexpectedly provided Lin Yu and A Yu with a new clue.

After the mysterious figures left, Lin Yu found a dropped card in a corner of the warehouse. It bore a unique symbol that appeared to be the emblem of some organization. Lin Yu quickly put the card away and, upon returning home, searched for information about the symbol through various channels.

After a difficult search and comparison, Lin Yu finally made a discovery. The logo belonged to an international investigation agency called "Eagle Eye," which was said to specialize in accepting commissions from multinational corporations or conglomerates to investigate cases involving the leakage of trade secrets, unfair competition, and organized crime.

"Could they be investigating the mysterious organization on someone's behalf? But why won't they let us get involved?" Ayu asked疑惑地.

Lin Yu shook his head. "I don't know, but now that we know who they are, we can try to contact this 'Eagle Eye' organization and see if we can get things out of this. Maybe we have the same goal."

So, Lin Yu began using his connections to try and contact relevant personnel at the "Eagle Eye" organization. After much effort, he finally found an intermediary who could speak with "Eagle Eye." Lin Yu explained the situation to the intermediary and expressed his desire to meet and communicate with the head of "Eagle Eye."

The middleman agreed to relay the message and told them to wait patiently. While waiting, Ayu and Lin Yu were both anxious, unsure whether this contact would bring a turning point to their investigation or lead them into new trouble.

Chapter Six: First Encounter

A few days later, Lin Yu received a call from the middleman, saying that the head of the "Eagle Eye" organization had agreed to meet, but the location would be set by the other party, the time would be that evening, and Lin Yu and A Yu were required to go alone.

Ayu was a little scared, after all, the other party was a mysterious and powerful organization, but since things had come to this point, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and go.

That evening, following the address provided, they arrived at a secluded villa in the suburbs. The villa was heavily guarded, with numerous security personnel patrolling. After undergoing multiple checks, Lin Yu and A Yu were finally led into the villa's living room.

In the living room, a well-dressed, distinguished-looking middle-aged man sat on the sofa. When he saw them come in, he nodded slightly, gesturing for them to sit down.

“I’m the head of the ‘Eagle Eye’ organization, just call me Mr. Chen. I know you’ve been investigating the mysterious organization, but it’s far more complicated than you think. We’ve been following this for a long time, commissioned by someone else,” Mr. Chen said bluntly.

Lin Yu looked at Mr. Chen and said sincerely, "Mr. Chen, we have no intention of interfering with your investigation. It's just that Ayu's background is closely related to this mysterious organization. We are forced to do this and want to find out the truth to protect ourselves. If we have the same goal, perhaps we can cooperate."

Mr. Chen pondered for a moment, “Cooperation is not impossible, but we have our rules and requirements. You must first prove that you have the ability and will not cause us any trouble.”
