Chapter 665: Chapter 665: One of Them is the Commander!
Wa Zhiqi took notes attentively, nodding repeatedly.
For many people, the International Elite Organization was an entity out of reach.
Apart from a few wealthy and noble families aware of the organization’s existence, ordinary folks had neither heard of it nor had any chance of reaching IEG’s threshold.
Even for Wa Zhiqi, who hailed from the second-tier Wa Family of Jinjing and was now the captain of the Criminal Investigation Division, there were no connections to speak of.
Fortunately, their office had recruited someone with connections like Wang Xintong.
“Doctor Wang Xintong comes from the Jinjing Wang Family, you should have heard of them, Lu Mian.
We have been graced by the Wang Family’s light this time,” Wa Zhiqi spoke with a cheerful laugh, “You might not understand what kind of existence the International Elite Organization is.
Let me put it this way, if joining our office has a difficulty level of 1, then joining IEG’s difficulty level would be…”
Lu Mian glanced at Wa Zhiqi, his eyebrows slightly raised with a trace of inexplicable amusement, “2?”
“…” Wa Zhiqi rolled his eyes disdainfully, “100 would be closer!
And that’s just to join; if you want to climb higher, the difficulty increases exponentially!”
Lu Mian responded indifferently with an “Oh,” one hand hooking his car keys, the other cushioning his head, too languid to take it to heart.
Wang Xintong shook her head; Captain Wa really had no business talking about such things to ordinary folksaEUR”obviously, it made no sense.
She took the lead and guided the two men inside.
Upon entering the lobby, one could see a row of security equipment that exuded an air of advanced high technology.
Wang Xintong pretended to be adept as she took out her phone, “Just ahead, if you have any items, place them in this container; they will be sealed and stored separately.”
As she spoke, Wang Xintong walked towards the security checkpoint first.
However, to her surprise, no sooner had she started walking than the security indicator light switched from red to green, and the gate opened automatically.
The anticipated thorough inspection was now replaced by smooth passage.
“No inspection needed today?”
Wang Xintong looked uncertainly at the security guards on either side, noticed they showed no signs of anomaly or any intention to stop her, felt weird inside, and hesitantly stepped through.
“Is it this simple?” Wa Zhiqi commented, pocketing his phone again and following behind.
Meanwhile, Lu Mian, who was trailing last, slowly shifted his gaze away from before the monitors, his face expressionless as always.
The three passed through security with ease, and Wa Zhiqi laughed, “Doctor Wang, it doesn’t seem too stringent.”
“Yes, it’s different from last time.”
“Surely, the security automatically recognized your information, thus they eased the procedures,” Wa Zhiqi deliberately flattered Wang Xintong.
He would need her help in the future, so it was essential to foster a good relationship.
“Maybe,” Wang Xintong wasn’t sure, after all, it was only her second time there.
That was probably the best explanation.
After the three had moved away, the security guards standing at the checkpoint exchanged glances.
Guard A asked in astonishment, “Brother, what level of security was that just now?”
The more experienced Guard B said meaningfully, “Commanding officer level.
Only those of their level can pass freely after verifying their iris.
Everyone accompanying them doesn’t need to go through inspection anymore.”
Guard A: “So you’re saying, one of those three is a commanding officer?
Guard B lowered his voice, “Keep it down!
The identity of a commanding officer is top secret, we cannot speak carelessly!”
Guard A: “Right, right…”
The three guests proceeded into the building, navigating several turns until finally someone came to meet them.
Seeing the person approaching in a white robe and a white mask, Wang Xintong stopped in her tracks and hurriedly gave a respectful greeting, “Mr.
As she didn’t know whether the person was male or female, the term “Mr.” was used as a standard greeting.
Lu Mian sized up the person opposite her, the 9th member under the command of the third team’s lover.
Aside from the nine commanders in her master’s organization, each with their unique identity cards, the people under each commander were arranged by unique numbers, wearing white robes and white masks.
The masks had the team number they belonged to on the cheeks, followed by their own number within the team.
For example, those under her were numbered 2xx.
However, Lu Mian, who had always been easygoing, hadn’t recruited anyone beneath her, earning no small amount of scolding from Elder Yun, who also warned her she might not get a single vote when the time came for a leadership re-election.
Lu Mian didn’t care much about votes, she just thought the ordinary members’ masks looked better than those of the commanders.
As Lu Mian was lost in thought, Wa Zhiqi called her back to attention and urged, “Hurry up and greet them.”
Lu Mian nodded indifferently, “Hello.”
The way 309 looked at the three of them was as if staring at ants, ignoring Lu Mian altogether and turning back to leave.
As members of IEG, they had the capital to be arrogant.
Halfway through, 309 suddenly turned around, his voice processed through a voice changer, carrying a touch of arrogance, “Don’t make loud noises, and don’t look around everywhere.”
Wang Xintong nodded respectfully, “Yes, rest assured.”
“You can’t copy the information, take it away, or take photos, got it?”
“Absolutely clear,” Wa Zhiqi quickly echoed, “We have someone here with a good memory, just memorizing it will be enough.”
It was because of this rule that he brought along Lu Mian, who had a good memory.
Wang Xintong, not entirely trusting, asked Wa Zhiqi, “Commander Wa, there’s so much information, can she handle it alone?”
Before Wa Zhiqi could answer, she added, “I think we should each memorize part of it to be more efficient.”
“That works too, it also prevents one person from being under too much pressure.”
Lu Mian expressed no objections.
309 led Lu Mian and the two others to the second floor.
The long white corridor was lined with photographs of accomplishments developed by the International Elite Organization, an impressive array.
All kinds of sophisticated high-end technological achievements made Wa Zhiqi feel like he had stepped into a future world, looking left and right in amazement.
“Lu Mian, look at that electronic watch, doesn’t it look like the one you have?” Wa Zhiqi finally found a down-to-earth piece of equipment and, recalling the black electronic watch Lu Mian wore when rolling up her sleeves, cracked a small joke.
Lu Mian glanced indifferently at the wall painting, her hands casually tucked into her pockets.
309 turned back around, and though his mask hid his face, one could feel the mocking expression below it, his voice dripping with sarcasm through the voice changer.
There are only two of these watches in the world, don’t talk nonsense if you don’t recognize quality.”
Naturally, those who could join the International Elite Organization had their pride, their skills were undeniable, and disagreement was not an option.
Knowing he had misspoken, Wa Zhiqi hurriedly apologized, “Sorry, sorry, I was disrespectful.”
Lu Mian furrowed her brows but ultimately said nothing.
309 led them to a data room, “Have you already compiled the list of information you want to check?”
Wang Xintong handed over the documents, “It’s compiled, please have a look.”
309 glanced at it, “Five entries are too many, I can only look up three addresses for you at most.”
