516: 443 516: 443 “Uncle, you can’t be suspecting a problem with the personnel returning from the mission, can you?
That seems unlikely; isn’t everyone who returns checked?”
Karina was very astute in her response.
“You’re right, normally there wouldn’t be any issues, but you never know.
However, we can’t investigate openly, as it would cause panic among the troops.
You should know how my concealing the infection caused dissatisfaction among the lower-ranked soldiers.
If we start dredging up the past now, they’ll think I’m trying to exclude…”
Spade’s brow was also tightly knitted.
“So, what do I need to do?”
“I need you to investigate all suspicious personnel covertly.
I have a list of roughly filtered names here.”
As he spoke, Spade handed a document to Karina.
Karina nodded in acknowledgment.
She opened the file and looked at the list and photos, her expression growing more and more astonished.
Major General Wang Hang, combat commander of the First Legion; Major General Moroko, combat commander of the Second Legion; Major General Mai Han, combat commander of the Third Legion…
This list included names from commanders to soldiers, totaling over a hundred people.
Among them, Karina also saw a familiar face.
The name and picture of Su Mo were also prominently displayed, with the suspicious location clearly written.
Former external adviser involved in the Thieves’ Plan operation returning from the mission.
Suddenly chose to join the GT department and passed the assessment with excellent results, with unclear motives.
Upon seeing this reasoning, a ripple of emotion surfaced within Karina’s heart, this person named Su Mo.
Could it be he really joined the GT department chasing after her?
Spade suddenly called out.
Karina snapped back to reality, hastily responding.
“This mission is extremely difficult to investigate, and the task is arduous, but you must handle it as soon as possible.”
“Uncle, I’m afraid I can do only so much on my own.
May I find some help?”
“Yes, you can choose your own helpers, but you must ensure that they are unimpeachable. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs novèlfire.net
Also, when you’re investigating, it’s best to have a pretext, don’t just investigate outright.”
Karina assured confidently.
In the dormitory at night, Su Mo was writing a self-criticism with a pen in his hand.
He was unusually restless, almost unable to continue writing.
During the day, he thought he had seen Cheng Xue, only to be disappointed.
Su Mo sighed deeply, scratching his head.
The GT department was much larger than he had imagined, with many areas off-limits.
It seemed not quite right to rely solely on luck to find someone; it appeared he needed to ask around for Cheng Xue’s whereabouts.
Thinking this, Su Mo also felt a bit at a loss on how to proceed.
Within the entire GT department, he barely knew a few people.
Those he did know were limited to his own team, with Captain Mo Baoke being the highest-ranking among them.
Finding Mo Baoke to inquire would have been the best option right now, but since he had already offended him, there was nothing he could ask.
At this thought, Su Mo grew even more irritable.
The next day, Su Mo headed towards sector G12, feeling somewhat listless after a rare night of insomnia.
He wasn’t the only one suffering from insomnia; in fact, nearly all the members of their large team had a rough night, all of them writing self-criticism reports.
Kolev collected the self-criticism reports and then said to everyone,
“Oh, we’re dismissed?
Aren’t we training today?
Didn’t Captain Mo Baoke say we have a drill talk today?”
The crowd asked in surprise.
Kolev waved his hand and said, “Today is Sunday, our day off.
Captain Mo Baoke isn’t here either.
Why would you stay here?”
“Hooray, Deputy Commander Kolev, you are the best.”
The crowd cheered, thinking they had lost their holiday today.
Afterward, everyone dispersed.
Just as Kolev was about to leave, Su Mo quickly caught up with him, calling out,
“Deputy Commander Kolev.”
Kolev stopped and turned to Su Mo, asking with curiosity, “What is it, Su Mo?”
“Well, Deputy Commander Kolev, I wanted to ask you about someone.”
“Do you know someone named Cheng Xue?
She’s also in the GT department.”
Su Mo asked, holding on to the hope of trying his luck.
Kolev frowned slightly, pondering before replying, “I’m not sure about that.
The GT department has tens of thousands of employees from top to bottom; it’s impossible to know everyone.
Also, the information on staff in different areas is segregated, and some personnel info is confidential.
With just a name, it’s pretty much impossible to find someone.”
“I see, thank you, sir.”
“However, there’s not entirely no way.
You can try to reach out to those in the GT department responsible for records and file management.
It’s relatively easier for them to look someone up.
Of course, be discreet, and when asking for help, make sure to explain your intentions clearly to avoid misunderstandings of ill intent,”
Kolev offered some friendly advice to Su Mo.
“All right, I got it.”
Su Mo quickly replied.
Kolev didn’t say anything more and left.
Su Mo took a deep breath and headed towards the training area.
Although it was a day off, Su Mo wasn’t in the mood for a break.
Instead, he wanted to vent his energy in the training area.
Soon, he reached the bustling training area.
Su Mo stopped at a boxing machine, put on the gloves, and threw a punch at it, releasing some of the displeasure from deep within.
The machine’s values instantly maxed out, triggering a special alert sound.
Su Mo suddenly snapped back to reality and hurriedly covered the machine’s display with his body, realizing too late that he had lost control.
