The locations they were investigating related to five missing cases, and all five incident sites were indispensable.

Wa Zhiqi spoke with difficulty, “Mr.

309, could you please make an exception?”

“It’s not that I’m unwilling to be accommodating, it’s that my authority only allows for three searches per day; otherwise, you could go ask someone of a higher rank for help.”

This statement clearly carried a hint of dissatisfaction.

Aware that he’d misspoken again, Wa Zhiqi touched his nose.

Wang Xintong elbowed him lightly, putting on a smile, “Mr.

309, please don’t be angry.

My colleague here doesn’t understand your rules.

We’re already very grateful for your willingness to help.”

“I’m doing this only out of respect for the Wang Family.”

“Yes, yes, yes…”

Left with no better options, Wang Xintong and Wa Zhiqi both nodded in agreement.

Here lay the world’s largest database, containing far more detailed information than what the police had, and to investigate the missing cases, it was necessary to look into the incident scenes themselves; not doing so was out of the question.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

As Mr.

309 searched for information, Lu Mian cast a casual glance at the search results that popped up, knowing not to expect much.

With hands in her pockets, she exuded a blend of laziness and roguish charm as she spoke indifferently, “I’ll head to the restroom for a bit.”

Wang Xintong frowned.

Unconcerned with their attitudes, Lu Mian left on her own accord.

From behind, 309 reminded, “Don’t wander off, there are surveillance cameras and mechanisms everywhere here.

If something happens, it’s on you!”

Lu Mian ignored him, walking away without a second look.

Wang Xintong sighed, “Captain Wa, the person you brought, she really doesn’t follow the plan.”

“Well, everyone has emergencies…” Wa Zhiqi explained sheepishly.

“Forget it, we can’t rely on her.

Captain Wa, let’s focus on remembering this information.”

—

Within IEG, the hierarchy was precise, with the commanders from the first to the ninth teams having progressively less authority.

Correspondingly, the authority of the team members under the command of their leaders also decreased step by step.

Knowing these rules, Lu Mian hadn’t expected Mr.

309 to be able to find more precise information from the start.

After she stepped out, she rode the elevator expressionlessly to the top level without any hindrance.

There was no one on the way, but with every door she passed, she underwent a full-body scan and iris recognition.

She stopped at a door adorned with the image of the “Demon” from the Tarot Cards.

With a “beep,” the metal door opened, and she strolled in leisurely.

—

In the second-floor data room, Mr.

309 displayed the information he’d found on the screen, speaking from a position of superiority, “Take a look, this is all there is.”

Wa Zhiqi and Wang Xintong thanked him while quickly noting down the information.

About five or six minutes later, the two had written down all the content.

Scrolling down to the bottom of the webpage, the words “Sorry, you do not have sufficient permission” made them realize that there was more content below.

Unable to access the full data or find the five addresses, Wa Zhiqi felt a profound sense of regret, far from meeting his expectations.

As they were being hurried out of the data room by Mr.

309, a person cloaked in a black robe slowly walked in from outside.

The mask on the stranger’s face was black, decorated with patterns.

Wa Zhiqi looked closely and recognized the image of the Demon from the Tarot Cards.

“SecondaEUR| Second team?”

Mr.

309 stood up from his chair in a fluster, his quivering voice tinged with uncertainty, “YouaEUR| What are you doing here?”

The figure paid him no heed.

Mr.

309 signaled to Wa Zhiqi and Wang Xintong that this was one of the nine commanders, ranking second only to the leader and the commander of the first team in terms of status and authority.

Wa Zhiqi and Wang Xintong were taken aback.

Especially Wang Xintong, who knew more about IEG than most, understood how impressive it was to have connections with even a regular member.

The top commanders were beyond her wildest dreams.

Yet now, she found herself unexpectedly in the presence of a high-ranking official, and she felt quite out of her element.

“Second Team, please have a seat.”

309 actively vacated the seat, and Lu Mian sat down with earnestness, “Hand me the entries to search.”

The voice beneath the voice changer was particularly cold.

Yet no one found this problematic; instead, they grew more respectful.

“Second Team, do you need any help?” 309 unwisely asked another question.

Without a response, Lu Mian’s gloved hands rattled away at the keyboard, entering several lines and beginning data analysis.

Complete information on the five crime scenes appeared before her.

After all, this wasn’t highly confidential information; with her clearance level, she had sufficient access to all content.

After scanning the information herself, Lu Mian gave up her spot for Wa Zhiqi and Wang Xintong to record the data.

309 stood by, admiring and fearing her presence.

Although he was a member of IEG and a subordinate of the Third Team, his own encounters with the Third Team led were few and far between.

He hadn’t expected to meet the legendary Second Team here.

It was said that the foremost candidates for the next leader were the First and Second Teams.

And it seemed the Second Team had no followers yet…

309 mustered the courage, “Second Team, are you here on business today?

Do you need assistance?

I happen to be free recently, you can call me anytime.”

Lu Mian crossed her arms, glancing at him dismissively.

“No need,” she refused firmly and indifferently.

309 sheepishly lowered his head, “No problem, if you need anything just call me, I’m number 309.”

As Wa Zhiqi overheard their conversation, he looked back curiously.

Who would have thought that the once haughty 309 would become subservient in front of this Second Team Commander?

But what intrigued him more was why the Second Team would lend them a hand?

Lu Mian no longer paid attention to the three of them, leaving as silently as she had arrived.

Ten minutes later.

“Captain Wa, I’ve read through everything.

How about you?” Wang Xintong said, exhaling deeply.

“I’ve noted it all down as well.”

The talents selected by the office were outstanding in every aspect.

Even without Lu Mian’s assistance, they had managed quite well.

And it was at that moment that Lu Mian returned.

Wa Zhiqi, smiling, pulled Lu Mian over, “Lu Mian, you’ve come back just in time.

.cO

The data is out, you can take notes too.”

Lu Mian approached the computer and slowly reviewed the data.

Wang Xintong then went to talk privately with 309.

“Mr.

309, could you help me connect with the Second Team?

Look, she just helped us out, we need to properly thank her, right?!”

Wang Xintong hailed from the Jinjing Wang Family, which had been trying to establish connections with IEG for months.

Last time, Wang Yanzhuo from the Wang Family chased down to Hong City and barely missed an audience with the leader of IEG.

After a lot of twists and turns, the Wang Family finally made contact with a regular member like 309, which was already a glory they proudly boasted about.

But the ambitions of the Wang Family were clearly not limited to this.

309 scoffed, if he couldn’t even gain favor with the Second Team, how could he have the capacity to help the Wang Family connect.

“Miss Wang, don’t be too greedy.

Leaders like the Second Team Commander are not people you can meet just because you wish to.”

“But…”

His words hit home, and Wang Xintong repeatedly apologized before returning.

Seeing that Lu Mian was still focused on the screen, she said impatiently, “Are you done yet, are we leaving or not?”
