97: Chapter 97 Continuous Tracking 97: Chapter 97 Continuous Tracking At that moment, Lin Shuang’s expression changed.
He turned off the computer abruptly, rose to his feet silently, and leaped like a ghost…
In an instant, he jumped onto the top of the walls of the database room.
Supporting himself with his hands on the room’s beams, he hung from the ceiling like a spider.
“Creak.” At this time, the door to the database room was opened by someone, and two inspection staff members in work uniforms, carrying flashlights, walked into the room.
There were definitely keyboard tapping sounds coming from the database room just now, weren’t there?
Why is it silent now?” one patrolling staff member wondered aloud.
He swept the flashlight around but didn’t find anything unusual.
The database was pitch black, empty.
Earlier, when the two night shift patrolmen were passing by the corridor outside the machine room, they seemed to have heard keyboard tapping sounds?
That’s why the two patrolmen were puzzled and pushed the door to the machine room open to inspect.
But now, upon checking, they found nothing unusual?
The database room was empty?
“Could it be that you heard wrong?
You’ve been working night shifts every day recently; maybe you’re too stressed and are hallucinating,” suggested the other patroller.
The patroller rubbed his ears and nodded, “Maybe… Let’s go, we still have several floors to patrol.”
After speaking, the two patrolmen turned around and left the database room, locking the door behind them.
Only after the two patrolmen had left did Lin Shuang let out a sigh of relief.
Had he sensed something wrong earlier?
Earlier, Lin Shuang had clearly sensed…
a terrifying presence passing by outside the corridor, with footsteps that were extremely eerie.
That presence made Lin Shuang mistakenly think…
that a terrifying martial artist was approaching from outside.
But it turned out to be just two patrolmen?
Meanwhile, twenty meters away from the database, at the end of the corridor.
A middle-aged man was at the restroom door.
After finishing using the restroom, the middle-aged man walked out.
He happened to encounter the two patrolling staff members.
The two patrolmen hurriedly saluted respectfully, “Boss Hou.”
This middle-aged man was Hou Weidong, the current boss in charge of the Investigation Building.
Since the former boss, Guan Qinglian, had committed suicide by jumping off a building, Hou Weidong had been managing the Investigation Building for the past few years.
Hou Weidong nodded slowly, thoughtfully reminding them, “It’s cold at night, wear more patrol uniforms, don’t catch a cold.”
The two patrolmen were flattered and nodded repeatedly.
Hou Weidong, with a cigarette in his mouth, turned around and left…
Meanwhile, inside the database, Lin Shuang continued to investigate other data archives.
He wanted to check the archives of the case of Guan Qinglian’s suicide.
He hoped to follow this lead… to find the mastermind behind Capital City.
But Lin Shuang also found no trace of Guan Qinglian in the database.
All archives regarding the former boss Guan Qinglian’s suicide case… had been deleted.
There was also no clue to be found.
Lin Gang, with no other choice, eventually had to leave the scene.
After he had cleaned all traces at the scene, he left the database silently.
However, not long after Lin Shuang left the database room, another figure in black slowly appeared from the end of the corridor.
This figure was none other than the special agent Shen Huang, Chu Ruohuang.
She had always been secretly following Lin Shuang, observing his every move and reporting Lin Shuang’s actions back to the military intelligence headquarters.
At that moment, Chu Ruohuang’s eyes were profoundly indecisive as she also silently opened the door of the database room and sneaked in.
She turned on the computer and began searching through the records on the screen.
Although Lin Shuang had deleted his search history completely, Chu Ruohuang, a military intelligence agent with special hacking skills, found it simple to recover some of the search records.
Soon, Chu Ruohuang had restored the records Lin Shuang had searched.
When she saw the search information Lin Shuang had been investigating, Chu Ruohuang’s eyes narrowed in focus.
[Red Sun Welfare Institute fire], [Former Investigation Building Boss Guan Qinglian’s suicide case]??
Why would Lin Shuang investigate these two cases?
Chu Ruohuang’s eyes grew intense as she realized the seriousness of the situation and immediately reached for her phone to report to Chen Shuai!
But just at that moment, suddenly, a silent series of footsteps echoed from outside the database corridor.
The footsteps were incredibly light yet carried a terrifying pressure!
It seemed as if they were trying not to be noticed while sneaking up silently.
Chu Ruohuang’s eyes narrowed intently!
Was there an expert outside?!
