Awakening the Daily Intelligence System

The village’s internet had also been cut off.

At a glance, there was only a fool with a cigarette in his mouth, squatting in the distance, grinning as he watched this group of people.

Qiu Pengchi opened the car door and pointed to the dilapidated building being guarded by several men in black, saying respectfully, “Elder Chen, this is Lin Mo’s home. We’ve blockaded the surrounding area. Shall we go in now?”

“Perhaps sensing something amiss, feeling guilty like a thief, no one from their household has stepped out today. They’re probably all hiding inside.”

Chen Shanhe stepped out of the car, glanced at the unlicensed Range Rover Maybach parked not far away, and then at Lin Mo’s shabby two-story building, he nodded and said, “Mhm, let’s go inside and take control.”

“Yes, sir!”

Qiu Pengchi waved his hand, and several men in black uniforms began to move.

The wall around Lin Mo’s home wasn’t high; they needed only a running start to leap quietly inside, swiftly followed by a room-by-room search.

Chen Shanhe stood at the doorway, his expression indifferent, calmly awaiting the encounter with the Abyss Organization.

After several setbacks, today was his turn to breathe a sigh of relief.

However,

As the search team delved deeper into the house, Qiu Pengchi’s earpiece began to relay increasingly troubling news.

“No one in the first-floor bedroom.”

“No one in the living room on the first floor, no one in the bathroom on the first floor.”

“No one in the bedrooms on the second floor either.”

“Reporting to the team leader, there’s no one in the house!”

What?

The search was quick, and upon hearing the report, Qiu Pengchi’s face dramatically changed. He hurriedly relayed the message to Chen Shanhe standing at the doorway: “Elder Chen, the, there’s no one in the house.”

No one?

Upon hearing this, Chen Shanhe’s originally calm expression suddenly darkened.

He was surprised, yet not surprised.

After all, everything today had gone too smoothly!

The Abyss Organization was so powerful, so mysterious, he had used so many methods without leaving a trace.

If they were caught just like that, it would actually seem unreasonable.

Frowning slightly, he stepped toward the inside of the courtyard.

Dried vegetables still hung at the kitchen door, and there was some household trash in the garbage can. All of these were proof that someone had recently been living there, which they could have known from the village’s surveillance cameras.

Before coming here, people had checked the few surveillance cameras in the village, and Lin Mo’s family had been captured on camera up until the night before last!

But then, early yesterday morning, the village’s surveillance cameras mysteriously broke down, allegedly due to cut lines.

Chen Shanhe’s face was extremely grim as he walked straight into the living room, scrutinizing the layout of the room with furrowed brows.

Could it be that they’d gone to visit relatives and hadn’t returned yet?

However, Wang Xun had investigated thoroughly; Lin Mo’s car hadn’t been used over the past few days, and the surveillance in Zhangzhuang Village hadn’t captured any sign of Lin Mo’s family leaving before it broke down.

Early yesterday morning, the surveillance in the village had suddenly malfunctioned.

Lin Mo’s family had disappeared…

What was going on?

While Chen Shanhe was filled with confusion, he noticed a delicate teacup placed in the center of the living room table, and underneath the teacup, there was a folded piece of paper.

Chen Shanhe approached the table, picked up the piece of paper from under the teacup, and slowly unfolded it.

A few lines of elegant handwriting appeared before him.

…

[What a pity, you’re one step too late, Elder Mr. Chen. You didn’t really think it would be so easy to catch me, did you? If so, you would seriously underestimate the Abyss Organization.]

[The tea on the table must have already grown cold. I failed to host you properly, which is indeed not the courtesy one should show to guests. On behalf of the Abyss Organization, I sincerely apologize to you.]

[Oh, by the way, I regret to inform you of something. Because you’ve violated the rules of this game, starting today, you are an enemy of the Abyss Organization.]

[So, please treat each coming day as if it were your last and cherish it well, Elder Mr. Chen.]

[Lastly… I wish you a Happy New Year.]

….

Chen Shanhe wore a grim expression.

A surge of sinister fury rose within him!

The paper in his hand trembled with force, showing signs of nearly tearing apart.

Even his heart felt a faint stabbing pain!

This was fury overwhelming his heart!

He had been played,

He had been played again!

He had been fooled by the Abyss Organization once more!

And this time, even when he thought he held a sure victory, a chance to erase previous humiliations, he had come up empty-handed again.

Why had this happened?

Was it a ruse by the Abyss Organization, false information deliberately released, or had someone close to him leaked the news?

Rage!

An unprecedented rage!

But Chen Shanhe didn’t show it, maintaining an exemplary level of stoicism in his expression.

He was fighting back the urge to erupt!

Nevertheless, the aura he emitted couldn’t deceive anyone!

Chen Shanhe turned around, his cold eyes laced with murderous intent sweeping over each person’s face, particularly those subordinates who had been in the meeting room earlier.

In the past while, he had activated Hive’s self-correcting system and caught a few spies within Hive, but after thorough verification, he confirmed that none of them were spies from the Abyss Organization.

If there were no spies, then why did it seem like his opponent could grasp a large amount of his information every time?

In front of his opponent, it was as though he had no secrets!

Chen Shanhe hadn’t been this angry in many years!
