251: Chapter 251 Sisters 251: Chapter 251 Sisters “Tianjing, do you have more detailed records here, such as personality traits, hobbies, and behaviors?” Ye Shikai quickly glanced over the files, expressing his dissatisfaction.
“You’d have to ask her family for that.
The National Security Bureau is an intelligence agency, but we’re not clairvoyant, constantly monitoring everyone,” Tianjing retorted with a side glance at Ye Shikai.
“I just offended them, as you well know,” Ye Shikai said with an embarrassed but not exactly polite smile, then stood up and left, heading straight into the restroom.
“Boss, I’ve got the information on that girl you wanted,” as soon as Ye Shikai made the call, a voice came through from the other end.
“Worm, do you recognize the girl I asked you to investigate?” Ye Shikai inquired, on the phone was Netherworld Palace’s and even the world’s top hacker, “Worm.” Since Ji Yu could easily disrupt and modify surveillance systems, she must be a hacker as well.
Learning that she had once won a national electronic technology first prize further solidified this thought for Ye Shikai.
“Haha, of course I know her.
In the hacker community, her codename is ‘Thousand-tailed Demon Fox,’ and I’ve crossed paths with her once by chance,” to Ye Shikai’s surprise, Worm actually knew Ji Yu.
“How did it go?”, Ye Shikai asked.
“Barely won,” Worm replied with a tone of resignation and self-mockery.
Thinking back, Ji Yu was not yet of age at the time.
At such a young age, she could give the already famous “Worm” such a headache, and what of the future?
Ye Shikai’s expression grew serious.
However, from this confrontation, Worm also learned the true name of “Thousand-tailed Demon Fox,” Ji Yu.
“There’s one more thing I need to report to the Boss.
is the younger sister of Moon God.”
“Hmm, I’ve already guessed as much.” Surprisingly, Ye Shikai had already anticipated this.
When he rescued her from the kidnappers, he felt a sense of familiarity at first glance.
Considering what Ghost once mentioned about Ji Qian coming from a prominent family in Yanjing, Ye Shikai had already roughly guessed the truth.
Ji Qian refused to talk about her background and even refused to return.
Ye Shikai would not press her as among all the women, he felt most guilty towards her—he had no right to demand anything.
But this time, Ye Shikai had no choice but to seek her out.
Opening his laptop, on the screen was an exceptionally beautiful woman.
“Why have you come to see me?” Ji Qian’s voice was indifferent, with no fluctuation in tone.
I’ve encountered some trouble and need your help,” Ye Shikai said, somewhat ashamedly lowering his head.
“Speak,” came Ji Qian’s voice after two or three seconds.
Ye Shikai and Zhang Ting arrived at Yanjing Hospital.
Xie, how has your health been recovering recently?” Early in the morning, Ye Shikai came to visit Xie Dong, carrying a large basket of fruit.
In the past few days, his emotions had stabilized, gradually emerging from the shadow of his fiancée’s tragic death.
“I am intruding today because I wish to understand some matters, and I hope Mr.
Xie won’t mind,” Ye Shikai said apologetically.
“Please ask away, Mr.
“I’ve checked the records.
Xie, your parents passed away when you were young.
Several months ago, your ex-wife went missing and was later found deceased, drowned, isn’t that correct?” Ye Shikai asked, holding a report.
My ex-wife went out to buy groceries that day, and then I received this tragic news.
And now, Xiao Mei also…” Xie Dong began to cry again while speaking.
Ye Shikai understood him; the successive tragic deaths of his loved ones were like a cruel joke played by fate.
Xie, can you tell me about your and Miss Cheng Mei’s family situations, and when you two met?” After about fifteen minutes, when Xie Dong calmed down, Ye Shikai began his questioning.
“I, my ex-wife, and Xiao Mei, were all classmates at the same university.
That’s how we got to know each other.
Not long after graduation, my ex-wife and I got married,” Xie Dong said slowly.
“I came from a poor family background, my parents passed away early, and I was brought up in an orphanage, while Xiao Mei came from a wealthy family.
She had a good job, but after we started dating, she ignored her family’s opposition and joined the company where we both work now.”
Xie, do you know how your ex-wife died by drowning?” Ye Shikai stared into Xie Dong’s eyes.
At that time, I only received the terrible news.
The police couldn’t find any surveillance footage or witnesses, so they ruled it as an accidental death,” Xie Dong shook his head, sighing deeply.
“Alright, that will be all for today.
Xie’s rest anymore,” Ye Shikai nodded slightly and left the room with Zhang Ting.
“How is the progress on the case?” Zhang Ting asked impatiently.
She had been following behind Ye Shikai for the past few days, listening to his movements, without knowing what he was up to.
“Not looking good,” Ye Shikai lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and his expression became somber.
Late at night, the lights were shining brightly, and Yanjing City was bustling with people enjoying the beautiful nightlife.
Huatao Bridge, three kilometers in length, was a newly opened bridge that spanned over the river, connecting the west and north parts of the city.
Because it was a newly opened bridge, there would occasionally be personnel specifically assigned to patrol and inspect the bridge.
“Wu, did you hear any noise?” Wu Gang and Xing Wu had recently joined Yanjing’s transportation department and had been on the bridge lately, checking for any abnormalities.
“Old Wu, did you drink too much?
I didn’t hear anything,” Xing Wu, driving the car, turned his head and spoke to Wu Gang sitting in the passenger seat.
“No, wait, stop the car,” Wu Gang hurriedly asked Xing Wu to stop the car, and Wu, having no choice, stopped the vehicle on the emergency lane.
“Are you losing your mind?” As soon as the car stopped, Wu Gang dashed out of the car, lying on the bridge surface, listening to the sounds.
Xing Wu was speechless, finding Wu Gang’s posture rather indecorous.
“No, this isn’t right.
There’s something wrong with the bridge; the reinforcing steel bars beneath seem to have snapped,” Wu Gang stood up, his face filled with panic.
“Have you drunk too much?
How could there…” Before Xing Wu could finish speaking, a sudden tremor beneath his feet scared him into silence.
Gradually, the bridge began to shake violently.
From a distance, Huatao Bridge looked like a long snake twisting, and it was even difficult for the two men to keep their footing.
Wu Gang quickly grabbed the walkie-talkie from the car.
“Headquarters, something’s happened at Huatao Bridge—ahh!”
With several booming sounds, multiple bridge piers collapsed, followed by the bridge deck caving in.
Everything happened so fast, it was over in just over twenty seconds, like a scene straight from a disaster movie.
Huatao Bridge had fallen, sinking into the riverbed like a giant dragon entering the water.
At that moment, a dark figure streaked across the sky, with a pair of blood-red eyes faintly visible…
