Xia Yu has disappeared.
He was suspended from his post, but no coercive measures were taken against him.
He destroyed the trackers and such; it's as if he vanished into thin air.
Are you still saying he's fine?
Gao Ang began to mock and ridicule Xiao Ming, who was on the other end of the video call.
Xiao Ming scratched his head and sighed to himself, "Sigh, I was careless. Who would have thought that a mid-to-high-level employee of Bureau 303 would disappear..."
"This isn't a disappearance, it's an escape. I think we might have alerted him. This Xia Yu might have been playing some kind of role all along. I think you should investigate further. Could he have leaked information?"
"A leak?" Upon hearing this, Xiaoming shook his head immediately. "Impossible. The exact words I received from the higher-ups at Bureau 303 were: 'Even if anyone leaks information, Xia Yu would never leak information.' Although I don't know why they are so confident, they vouched for me with their own lives. I think... they wouldn't say they're covering for Xia Yu. There must be other reasons for Xia Yu's disappearance."
Other reasons?
Gao Ang recalled his trip to the Saudi Arabian Kingdom last night. Could it be that his visit to Lamovic had been exposed?
Or did Lamovic deceive himself and sell himself to Xiamen?
That shouldn't be the case. Given his tone of voice and his current situation, there was really no need for him to offend me.
And he didn't directly reject Lamovic back then, so he probably still had some hope, right?
Proving this is simple; just go to Saudi Arabia again.
Following the same route and method, Gao Ang entered Lamovic's residence once again.
This guy didn't change locations, even though this place had already been breached.
Lamovic had considered moving to another location, but after careful consideration, he abandoned the idea.
This place he is in now is arguably the second safest place in Saudi Arabia.
Even at such a high place, the security guard Ghost Brother was breached without anyone noticing. Where could he possibly run to?
"Mr. Ramovich."
Before Gao Feng could even speak, Lamovic immediately realized, "Is it you, Your Excellency?"
"Um, I have a question for you. Did you tell Xiamen about me contacting you?"
When Gao Ang said this, he exuded a murderous aura.
Although Lamovic was physically weak, he wasn't mentally impaired; he vaguely sensed an impending death.
"Your Excellency may have misunderstood. Even if I, Lamovic, am a usurper, I am not a man of my word. I said I wouldn't reveal a single word about our affair, and I absolutely will..."
"Why did Xia Yu flee? If he hadn't gotten wind of something, why would he run away?"
Gao continued to be aggressive.
"Rumors... are certainly possible, but they definitely didn't leak from me. You can keep an eye on the Saudi news; the killing of Ronnev and his henchman Marsky has already made headlines in Saudi Arabia. Although they are human traffickers, they are, after all, dressed in the guise of wealthy people, and there's been quite a commotion at their residence..."
Gao Ang suddenly realized, rubbed his eyes, and said, "I have an idea. You find another henchman to continue contacting Xiamen and see if you can lure Xia Yu out."
Lamovic shook his head. "Just how deep is your grudge against Xia Yu?"
This question was left unanswered.
“Alright,” Ramovich sighed, then continued, “I have many underlings, but I don’t think they’ll be effective. Since Xia Yu has already disappeared, he must know that I met with you, or he must have realized that you’d get close to him. Imagine if you were in his shoes, would you still continue to cooperate with me?”
Although Gao Feng didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that Lamovic was right.
Xiamen's dealings with Saudi Arabia have been exposed. Xiamen is definitely a ruthless and powerful figure, and he will never rekindle this connection.
Furthermore, Lamovic also stated that he had already given Xiamen enough benefits in exchange, and the cooperation between the two sides could indeed be considered to have come to an end.
"I'll give you a promise: as long as you find Xiamen or Xia Yu for me, I'll guarantee you won't die for three years."
He left those words behind and gracefully departed.
He can't guarantee that Lamovic will live to be a hundred, but keeping him popular for three to five years shouldn't be a problem.
Back on Changying Island, Zhang Xiaoming told him another piece of news: Xia Weiwei had taken over Xia Yu's position.
"Bureau 303 is that outstanding? A new employee, not even officially hired yet, and already a team leader?"
Gao Yang felt both amused and exasperated.
"This is their internal matter, and we have no right to interfere. Besides, that girl is the founder's own daughter; it's just a matter of personal relationships, so we can understand."
Xiao Ming, on the other end of the camera, shrugged, looking equally helpless.
Although Bureau 303 has the name of a bureau, it is essentially a private organization or institution, and the Social Affairs Bureau has no jurisdiction over it.
My biological daughter...
Gao Ang suddenly had a bold guess: Could Xiamen be Xia Weiwei's relative?
Her parents are dead, but what about their relatives, friends, or confidants like the driver?
That driver has been missing for a long time. With modern technology so advanced, if he gets a face transplant, can he live openly in the sunlight?
Regarding the issue of identity, Gao Feng did not believe that Xia Jiancheng had not left any backup plan.
There must be many of his cronies within Bureau 303. If these people collude together to help him get a new identity or something, it wouldn't be too difficult.
The more Gao Feng thought about it, the more plausible his guess seemed.
So he told Xiaoming about his guess.
"You mean, this person from Xiamen is related to Xia Weiwei?"
Xiao Ming asked in surprise.
"That's right. I was really puzzled at the time as to why someone would be spying on me. Your mention of 'biological daughter' just now gave me a clue. Those people probably found out I was living in Xia Weiwei's house, and out of the psychology of elders or relatives, they were afraid I might have some ulterior motives towards Xia Weiwei. But in her house, they didn't dare to get too close, afraid that Xia Weiwei would discover something. So after I moved out, they couldn't wait to give me a full-service surveillance."
Furthermore, during the kidnapping of Xia Weiwei and Lillian, these same people behind the scenes sensed that Lillian intended to harm her, so they planned to prevent her from leaving the country. However, due to certain unknown factors, they couldn't seem to do much to Lillian, nor could they make any significant moves that would attract the attention of certain departments. That's why Weiwei's attempt to leave the country occurred.
"You know about this too?"
Xiao Ming asked again in surprise.
"Nonsense, I can handle satellites, do you think I don't know?"
He rolled his eyes at him, easily changing the subject, and continued, "And later Xia Weiwei joined Bureau 303, and now she has taken over Xia Yu's position. Don't you think this is very much like the style of a family business? Xia Jiancheng was the founder of Bureau 303, and died under mysterious circumstances. His driver disappeared without a trace, and a group of people associated with him either had accidents or fled abroad... This Xia Yu is very likely to be Xia Jiancheng's confidant, and this Xiamen is very likely to be Xia Jiancheng's best friend."
At this point, Gao Ang asked Xiao Ming, "I can't find any information about Bureau 303 online. You should have a way to do that, right?"
Xiao Ming looked at him suspiciously and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"Investigate all the records from Xia Jiancheng's founding of Bureau 303 to the present, and see if you can find any clues. What, you're going to let someone like Xia Yu, who could potentially be a traitor, go so easily?"
Xiao Ming rubbed his eyes on the other end of the phone. "Alright, I'll ask my superiors. Accessing their files will be quite difficult. Mr. Gao, you might not know this, but Bureau 303 has made a lot of contributions to our Dongguo..."
"I know, I didn't say they all have problems. Any company, even within a functional department, is bound to have some corrupt officials. As you said, since Bureau 303 plays such a significant role, we can't let them be corrupted by the sugar-coated bullets of imperialism, right?"
"Fine, I can't argue with you!"
Xiao Ming was persuaded by the man's eloquent words and, after hanging up the phone, went to ask his superior for instructions.
“Sir, I don’t think Xia Yu is the key figure. It’s more likely that the one in Xiamen is the real big boss.”
Qian Sui walked over, still holding a cup of tea as usual.
"Of course I know that, but the only person we can trace right now is Xia Yu. As for this Xiamen... whether she's male or female, how tall she is, how old she is, we're completely clueless. We'll have to see if Xiao Ming from the Social Intelligence Bureau can get anything out of her."
They waited all afternoon, and Zhang Xiaoming's reply didn't come until evening.
"This is really troublesome..."
As soon as the call connected, Zhang Xiaoming on the other end started complaining.
This guy doesn't look like an elite at all; he looks just like an ordinary citizen.
"Stop talking nonsense, just tell me if you've got it or not?"
Gao Ang didn't bother asking too many questions and went straight to the heart of the matter.
"Um... why don't you do things the usual way... can't you even care about me?"
Xiao Ming glared at Gao Ang with annoyance before continuing, "I got it, but it's probably not completely intact..."
Seeing his hesitant manner, Gao Ang sighed helplessly, "It's good enough if you can get it at all, just send it to me."
He hadn't expected this. In his view, it was just a document from a non-functional department, so why go through such complicated procedures?
"Is your phone secure? Is it being tapped?"
Xiao Ming asked nervously, his hands, which had been fiddling with his phone, temporarily stopped.
"Don't worry, it's much safer than yours. What do I do? Besides, my cell phone signal comes from my personal satellite..."
"You're awesome!"
Xiao Ming gave a thumbs up and sent a huge file over without saying a word: 300 GB.
"Holy crap, is this some kind of adult film? It's this big!"
Gao Ang was also stunned. This wasn't even complete?
If it were complete, how big would it be?
"What do you think? This is only part of Xia Jiancheng and Xia Yu's information, the kind that can be made public. There are texts, videos, and audios. Take your time looking at them!"
After receiving the data, Gao Ang casually tossed it to Qian Sui.
After he finished reading it, he simply copied it over. Wouldn't that be much easier than reading it himself?
Even Chitose was being lazy, so he broke down the materials again, giving one copy to each of the three brothers...
"You're making the lazy ones lazy!"
Gao Ang was both amused and exasperated, wondering where he had learned this from.
"That's right, the boss always bullies us!"
"Hmm, very cunning!!"
"..."
Gao Ang went to cook, while the three brothers analyzed the data.
After he and Xiaohua finished dinner, all the things he had analyzed flooded into his brain.
"Xia Jiancheng, male, from Xiamen..."
Gao Ang was stunned by the first sentence.
It seems that the relationship between Xiamen and Xia Jiancheng is truly extraordinary.
Using Xia Jiancheng's hometown as a pseudonym, Gao Ang would have thought he had come back from the dead if he hadn't been certain that Xia Jiancheng was gone.
"It seems that this Xiamen guy is quite a figure. Maybe he was able to evade our tracking because he has some connection with Xia Jiancheng or even the 303 Bureau... Including Xia Yu, I also suspect that someone from the 303 Bureau was involved in his disappearance."
"Sir, you mean...Xia Weiwei?"
"Hmm, Xia Yu and his group must have Xia Jiancheng's token, and they must have gained Xia Weiwei's trust... This is bad!"
Gao Ang suddenly realized he had done something stupid: he had given Xia Weiwei all the information he suspected about Xia Yu.
Does that mean he was the mole?
Perhaps Xia Yu's disappearance wasn't due to the Sand Kingdom, but rather because he alerted the enemy himself?
Or perhaps he first alerted the enemy, and then there was some commotion in the Sand Kingdom, so Xia Yu ran away.
Shaking his head and sighing, Gao Ang continued reading the documents.
After looking at the whole picture, there was nothing that could attract him anymore.
"It seems these materials are also pre-made templates..."
These materials look very real, but they're all completely useless.
Both of their resumes were as clean as paper, such as their birth certificates and school records. Gao Feng could easily tell that they were fake with a simple check by Qian Sui.
He didn't go looking for Xiaoming either; even if he did, it wouldn't be of much use.
They simply shut it down with a "classified".
Moreover, judging from Xiaoming's actions this time, it seems the Social Intelligence Bureau is also helpless against Bureau 303...
After much deliberation, Gao Ang decided to confront Xia Weiwei.
The next day, he took the high-speed train directly to Kyoto.
Without notifying anyone in advance, he went directly to Xia Yu's office, which is now Xia Weiwei's office, based on his memory.
Standing at the entrance of the courtyard house, he was being stared at suspiciously by several men with buzz cuts, and he couldn't help but wonder: I don't remember there being any spies here last time.
He took out his phone and sent a message to Xia Weiwei: I'm at the entrance of your base, let's talk.
A short while later, someone came and led him inside.
This is getting interesting; he's starting to act like a leader...
Gao Ang shook his head and followed the beautiful secretary inside.
It's the same office, just with a slightly different style.
It used to be more rustic, but now it's more...kawaii.
Bureau 303 was never a functional department; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a company.
Xia Yu's old red jujube wood desk has been replaced with a semi-transparent tempered glass desk, and the chair has also been changed...
The office had a more youthful feel to it, and it was clear that Xia Weiwei was in a much better mood than before.
Xia Weiwei was sitting behind her desk, looking at something.
When Gao Ang came in, she simply looked up to greet him and then went back to doing her own thing.
Gao Feng discerned a great deal from this single action:
First of all, this woman was deliberately creating distance between herself and him.
In other words, she should know something, but Gao Feng couldn't speculate on what it was.
Of course, it's also possible that this woman has tasted the sweetness of power and wants to package herself as a strong woman.
Secondly, this woman doesn't know how to face herself, so she's turned on silent mode.
This shows that she has something to hide.
Could it be that she gave the information he gave her to Xia Yu?
"Captain Xia is very busy!"
"It's alright. I just took over this squad, so I need to get familiar with things first. What would you like to drink?"
Xia Weiwei finally broke her silence, got up from her seat, went to the next cubicle, and started looking for something. "Coffee or tea?"
"I prefer tea; I don't like coffee."
Ang Gao watched her busy inside while he wandered around the office by himself.
Xia Weiwei didn't stop him.
This confirmed Gao Feng's suspicions once again: this woman was indeed hiding something.
If a stranger were to wander around your office, wouldn't any normal person be annoyed?
Even with the best self-care, subtle changes can still occur in facial expressions or fluctuations in the data of certain organs.
Xia Weiwei, however, did not.
She's just like a normal person, or even worse than a normal person.
Because her palms were sweating.
Gao Ang saw her pull out a tissue, wipe her palms, and then come over with the freshly brewed hot tea.
Xia Weiwei did not sit with Gao Ang, but sat opposite him.
What do you want to talk about?
Xia Weiwei still wanted to pretend to be cold and aloof. She took a sip of her coffee and asked without looking up.
"Let's talk about Xia Yu."
Xia Weiwei, who was drinking coffee, paused, then continued to act nonchalantly, "Xia Yu? Wasn't he missing?"
"I'm asking about the disappearance."
Ang Gao leaned forward, and Xia Weiwei shrank back in response. "We are also investigating his disappearance internally. You're asking me... I don't know why either."
Gao Ang smiled and shook his index finger. "No, you're panicking. You must know something."
"I don't!"
You definitely have it!
Xia Weiwei turned her head away and chose to run away.
Gao Feng shook his head helplessly; it was the first time he had ever seen Xia Weiwei act so feminine.
This made it seem as if he had bullied her, and she was a pushover in dire need of comfort.
"Back then, I gave you Xia Yu's information, and we didn't give anything away afterwards, right? Tell me, how did he just disappear without a trace? Besides, this is Dongguo, there are cameras everywhere. If no one helped him, could he just vanish without a trace?"
Seeing that Xia Weiwei wanted to refute, Gao Ang waved his hand, "Don't rush to defend yourself, I haven't finished speaking yet."
He sipped his tea, chewed the tea leaves in his mouth, swallowed them, and then continued, "Xia Yu disappeared, and you took his place... Don't you think this is like a transaction? As the saying goes, one radish, one hole. Whether Xia Yu disappeared voluntarily or was forced to resign under the influence of your father, Xia Weiwei..."
At this point, Gao Ang could clearly feel that Xia Weiwei's heartbeat and breathing had quickened considerably.
"You, Xia Weiwei, are inextricably linked to Xia Yu's disappearance. This is my deduction; you can now begin your defense."
After hearing Gao Feng's words, Xia Weiwei gritted her teeth behind his back.
She thought that Gao Gao wouldn't notice her action, but she had no idea how terrifying Gao Gao's superpowers were.
All objects reflect light, and many items in Xia Weiwei's office are composites made with modern technology.
Gao Ang felt that her action meant he had hit the nail on the head.
“Gang… Gao’ao,” Xia Weiwei almost shouted “Gangtou” in her excitement. “I’ll repeat myself, Xia Yu’s disappearance has nothing to do with me. Everything you’ve said is just your personal speculation. I can also tell you with certainty that I haven’t shown the information you gave me to any third party, and I haven’t told anyone about our conversations…” She emphasized the word “we.” “…the content of our conversations. Xia Yu’s problem only exists between you and me. Do you understand?”
Gao Ang bit his lip, watching Xia Weiwei's performance. After she finished, he let out a sigh of relief. "If you weren't so agitated, I might believe what you said, but the tone you used... only proves that you really have a problem!"
"Where did I get agitated? Why was my tone off?"
Xia Weiwei refused to listen and jumped up, unleashing a barrage of attacks on Gao Feng.
“Look, look,” Gao Ang pointed at Xia Weiwei, who was as hot as a firecracker, and said with a smile, “I was just bluffing you. If you really had nothing to hide, would you have gotten this excited?”
Seeing that Xia Weiwei was still trying to argue, Gao Ang's face fell. "Xia Weiwei, I was speaking to you as a friend just now. Now, we need to switch roles!"
"What is your identity?"
Xia Weiwei was completely bewildered. What kind of identity do you, Gao Feng, have that I don't know about?
