The Peace After the Alliance and the Search for One's Origins
Chapter 1: Reunion After Successful Evacuation
Ayu and her team members fled, pursued relentlessly by the mysterious organization. Fortunately, thanks to their tacit understanding honed through training and various ingenious strategies, they managed to shake off the pursuers and reunite with the rest of the alliance.
As Ayu stepped into the secluded rendezvous point, familiar faces came into view, their expressions a mixture of relief and exhaustion from surviving the ordeal. They hugged and high-fived, their simple greetings filled with the relief of knowing they were all safe. Old Lin, the alliance leader, stepped forward and patted Ayu on the shoulder heavily. "Well done, girl. We owe it all to your team for holding them off; otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to gather so easily."
Ayu smiled slightly, but her gaze swept around. The rendezvous point was an abandoned factory, which, after being modified by the Alliance, was arranged to be quite secluded and secure. Some members were organizing supplies, while others were checking defensive facilities; everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.
Not long after, good news arrived. Because the target company firmly refused to be acquired by the mysterious organization, and because the relevant departments noticed the shady dealings and intervened in the investigation in time, the mysterious organization's originally arrogant monopolistic acquisition had to be temporarily shelved, and the alliance finally ushered in a rare period of peace.
Chapter Two: Summarizing Lessons Learned from the Action
During the peaceful days, the alliance members did not relax; instead, they gathered together to organize and summarize the lessons learned from this operation. In the meeting room, everyone sat around a long table, the atmosphere serious and focused.
Old Lin spoke first, clearing his throat as he said, "In this operation, although we successfully thwarted one of the mysterious organization's plans, we also exposed quite a few problems along the way. For example, the communication between the various teams was sometimes not timely or accurate enough, which led to several near-encirclements by the enemy."
Li Qiang, the captain of Ayu's squad, nodded in agreement. "Yes, and we were clearly unprepared when dealing with the enemy's new weapons. Many of our tactics failed to achieve their intended effect. We need to go back and study how to crack those things."
The members shared their opinions, discussing everything from the formulation of the battle plan to on-the-spot response strategies, from equipment configuration to personnel coordination. They reviewed every aspect in detail, striving to be more composed in similar situations next time. Ayu listened attentively, occasionally jotting down key points in her notebook. She knew that these experiences and lessons were invaluable, gained through everyone's dangerous ordeals.
Chapter Three: New Clues to My Own Background Emerge
While participating in the alliance's group discussions, Ayu kept thinking about her past. She used this rare period of peace to continue her in-depth investigation. She gathered information through various channels, reviewed a large number of old files, and exchanged intelligence with well-informed informants on the dark web.
Finally, her efforts paid off, and she discovered some new clues, all of which pointed to a business tycoon who had retired many years ago. This tycoon was said to have been a powerful figure in the business world, with businesses spanning various sectors and an intricate network of connections. But at a crucial juncture, he suddenly chose to retire, fading from public view as if he had vanished into thin air.
Ayu frowned as she looked at the compiled information about this powerful figure in her hand. Among the documents were several blurry photos; the man in the photos had a cold, stern face and deep, penetrating eyes. Even through the marks of time, one could sense his extraordinary aura. Ayu wondered, what was the connection between herself and this man? Could the key to the mystery of her origins lie with him?
She decided to follow this lead and dig deeper, but the more she investigated, the harder it became to obtain information about this powerful figure. It was as if a hand was deliberately covering something up behind her back, and every step forward was fraught with difficulty. But Ayu's stubborn streak kicked in, and she secretly vowed to find out the truth, no matter what the fog of mystery and unknown dangers lay ahead.
Chapter Four: Finding the Insider
Ayu began searching for anyone who might know about the business tycoon. She first contacted some former employees of the tycoon's companies, most of whom were now elderly and living ordinary lives.
She knocked on the door of an elderly man named Uncle Chen. Uncle Chen opened the door and saw Ayu looking puzzled. After Ayu explained her purpose, Uncle Chen hesitated for a moment, but still invited her in. Sitting on the somewhat worn sofa, Uncle Chen slowly began to speak: "That boss, he was indeed a very powerful figure back then, but suddenly he said he was quitting and sold the company. I was just a junior employee at the time, so I didn't know much, but I remember for a while, there were often some mysterious visitors to the company, and the boss's expression was never very pleasant after meeting them."
Ayu quickly asked, "Do you remember what those mysterious visitors looked like or any other characteristics?" Uncle Chen shook his head. "It's been too long, and my memory isn't what it used to be. I only remember that they were all dressed quite elegantly and didn't look like ordinary people."
After saying goodbye to Uncle Chen, Ayu went on to find several other businessmen who had previously done business with the big boss, but they were either vague or claimed to know nothing, clearly having reservations and not wanting to get involved in the matter. Ayu felt somewhat frustrated, but she knew she couldn't give up so easily, and she continued to search for possible breakthroughs in various corners of the city.
