After assigning tasks to the six people, Lin Rui took Ji Xueying and a group of attendants, leisurely leaving the city to return home. The subsequent arrest operations couldn't be completed in a short while. It would take Luo Tianman and his team quite some time just to determine the locations and gather intelligence on the suspects, to allocate manpower and tasks reasonably, and to coordinate with the Imperial Guard. The task was complicated and onerous. The matter was so troublesome that Lin Rui had no intention of getting personally involved. He did have a high degree of confidence in the capabilities of Luo Tianman and the others. Those who could become supervisors in the Infiltration Bureau were no incompetents, and with his senior brother Li Li and Wang Sen watching out, he felt very reassured. And even if there were problems, how bad could the situation get by then? To Lin Rui, the importance of this case was not as significant as the documents hidden within his dragon armor. The Infiltration Bureau's responsibility was to investigate and suppress the Heavenly Demons, so these documents related to the many cases involving the Heavenly Demons that the bureau had investigated in recent years. Several departments, not just the Security Bureau's Ninth Division, had suffered heavy losses due to the emergence of internal traitors in recent years. The Imperial Spy Agency had long begun infiltrating the Earth Federation in reverse, so the files were of immense value. Considering that these documents might be used as evidence, and that it would be difficult to keep them completely secret in the future, Lin Rui had gone to great lengths tonight to cleanse himself thoroughly. Interestingly, when Lin Rui arrived at the entrance of Chengtian Gate, Lin Xi was already on duty. She wore a brand-new official robe of a fifth-grade officer, inspecting Lin Rui's entourage with due seriousness before raising her hand to let them pass. Seeing Lin Xi's spirited and valiant appearance, Lin Rui couldn't help but have suspicions about the first Divine Envoy. It was quite possible that the position of 'Chengtian Gate Inspector' had been deliberately preserved until now with the sole purpose of vexing the emperor. In the future, every time the emperor passed in and out of the city, he would have to see Lin Xi, which would certainly not please him! Furthermore, the officials who would have to pass through Chengtian Gate morning and night, what would they think upon seeing this daughter of Zhou Rang? Lin Rui mused that if he were the emperor, he would do everything possible to remove Lin Xi from this position without fail. Luckily, the outbreak of the Han Wang case had emerged, so the emperor likely wouldn't have the opportunity to deal with Lin Xi in the short term. After leaving the city, Lin Rui sent a message to Zhou Yunfei. Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): Minister, I've already brought out the documents you wanted. There are 1320 case files in total, involving 97 major Heavenly Demon cases over the past decade. I will hand these over to Xue Lingxue shortly. Lin Rui was very meticulous in his actions. He waited until he had taken the files out of the city before sharing the good news with Zhou Yunfei. Zhou Yunfei: Are you safe now? Lin Rui, your move was extremely slick! The best part is that the loose ends have been tied up neatly, and no one can trace anything back to you afterwards. Lin Rui raised an eyebrow and replied, "Minister, are you informed about the situation?" Since Lin Rui had autonomous operational authority, he hadn't notified Zhou Yunfei of his plans before or after the incident, so how did the minister know? Zhou Yunfei: Of course I'm informed. Among the twenty trial Martial Virtue Colonels that joined the Infiltration Bureau this morning, I have a person. He reported today's incident at the bureau to me, and after analyzing it, I figured out what happened. Zhou Yunfei: I will send you the identity information of this person. If circumstances permit on your end, Lin Rui, you might help me take care of and promote him. The bureau has positioned him as your assistant, so feel free to make use of him without any reservation. Zhou Yunfei: Your execution of this mission was splendid! It's just unfortunate that the Second Commander hasn't woken up yet; otherwise, I could commend you for your achievements right now. Zhou Yunfei then sent a thumbs-up photo. He sat in his office, his complexion flushed with excitement. Not only had Lin Rui managed to retrieve the files for him, but he had also taken nearly half of the documents from the third floor of the Repository Hall. Zhou Yunfei truly regretted that the Second Commander had not yet awakened, otherwise, their accomplishment would warrant a Federal Security Top-Class Medal and a First-Class Watcher's Medal. Lin Rui could even be promoted directly to a Security Bureau Admiral based on these documents! However, Zhou Yunfei had no immediate plans to hand over these documents; he knew they would gain maximum benefits only when the Second Commander awakened. Nevertheless, the plan he and Lin Rui had earlier drawn up could be slightly modified on the existing basis and put into motion. The deep-seated vendetta of their hundred-plus colleagues who died in the line of duty required someone to pay the price. ※※※※ The following morning, the Deputy Director of the Security Bureau's Ninth Division, Hayden Smith, had just awoken when he received a piece of news through a certain channel within the Tianji Star that caused him great concern. "The dossier from the Rack Storehouse might have been stolen?" Hayden Smith's mind sharpened with an instinctive sense of alarm. Upon further investigation, he learned that last night there had been an arson attack at the Imperial Guard's Division of Espionage. According to the statements of two suspects, the dossier from the Rack Storehouse had already been taken before their break-in. However, the Divine Envoy of the Imperial Guard found their claims unreliable, considering them to be lies. The personnel from the Division of Espionage had also searched the entire government office and found no dossiers missing. Only then did Hayden Smith relax. Considering the evidence from the arson case, the chances of document theft were slim; it was more likely a narrative concocted by the suspects to evade guilt. Still, Smith took out an intelligent terminal shaped like a pen from a drawer in his study and sent a message to his mistress: Honey, be careful these next few days, both physical and alternative bodies, there's been a bit of trouble over at the Division of Espionage, your identity might get exposed. The Flower That Blooms at Midnight (Hua Xin): Exposed? How could that happen? Hayden, didn't you say there'd be no risk at all? Hayden Smith knit his brows, displeased. This Hua Xin's alter ego was called Han Lanxin, a girl he met on Tianji Star, an alter ego walker who had only started her journey a year ago. Her strengths were vanity and being easily fooled; her weakness was her inability to stay calm in a crisis. Megan (Smith): I said it might be exposed, but it's not a big problem, don't worry, honey. I've told you before, even if your identity is revealed, they won't have any evidence to prove it, so there won't be any risks. Megan (Smith): Honey, I've booked a ticket for you to the Imperial Palace Entertainment Casino. Go stay there for a few days. I'll have someone transfer some money to you later, go have fun and relax. The Flower That Blooms at Midnight (Hua Xin): Really? The Flower That Blooms at Midnight (Hua Xin): I don't want your stinking money. I just want you to come be with me. Hayden Smith looked at the woman's replies and let out a snort of laughter. He sent a message to someone: That woman will go to the spaceport at nine in the morning to catch a boat to the Imperial Palace Entertainment Casino. Take care of her for me, and make sure it's clean. Although he was still unsure what was the situation with the arson case at the Division of Espionage, Hayden had already decided not to let this woman live any longer. The woman was a liability, becoming more dangerous the longer she lived. She was also a gold-eating beast, having spent close to a billion federal currency in just the past six months. While his income from various profit channels amounted to over ten billion annually, even he could not withstand such expenses. Hayden Smith, with an air of elegance, leisurely dressed himself up and drove a luxury car to the Security Bureau's Ninth Division. Smith's mood plummeted the moment he drove his car into the garage, all because his boss, Zhou Yunfei, had posted a message in the joint workgroup of the Alter Ego Investigation Department and the Intelligence Center. Zhou Yunfei: Attention everyone, new mission! Starting now, all workgroups of the Alter Ego Investigation Department and the Intelligence Center, put all your effort into finding this woman called 'Han Lanxin' on Tianji Star. She is an alter ego walker, her real name is Hua Xin, and we've already detained her. I want to know where her alter ego is as soon as possible. This is now the Security Bureau's top priority task. Hayden Smith, seeing the message, felt his heart turn cold as ice. He instinctively wanted to message Hua Xin to inquire about the situation but immediately realized it was inadvisable. Hayden Smith used a false identity to contact Hua Xin, sending messages from his secondary intelligent terminal he carried with him. This ensured that even if Hua Xin was arrested, she couldn't lead back to him. But now, making contact himself would be suicidal. At this moment, the director of the Intelligence Center voiced confusion in the group chat: Director, according to the data from the information repository, this woman is just a lieutenant colonel-level alter ego walker. To make her our Intelligence Center's top priority task— is there a special reason? Zhou Yunfei: We have obtained conclusive evidence ensuring that the Heavenly Demon case from May this year, which led to the tragic deaths of over a hundred of our alter ego agents on Tianji Star, was caused by this woman, Han Lanxin, leaking intelligence. Hayden Smith was deeply unsettled, thinking where Zhou Yunfei could have gotten such conclusive evidence? However, the timing was no coincidence. Zhou Yunfei seizing the opportunity to strike right when the Division of Espionage had an arson case— could it be that he truly obtained the stolen case dossiers?
