Chapter 523: Deleting The Surveillance Videos Entirely

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Jiang Ningbei felt that these captains were too naive. Although he could not see it with his own eyes, judging from the car alone, he could tell that the driver was none other than Fu Zhi.

Why did she not want to help the International Crimes Unit? The reason was simple. During the time when she had not been actively taking on any tasks or missions from the International Crimes Unit, everyone in the organization, including him, had kicked her out and replaced her.

Had it not been for the new member, or the current captain of the 1st division, the person who had replaced Fu Zhi would have become the captain of the 2nd division.

The last thing Jiang Ningbei wanted was for the Fu Corporation to become his enemy, so he was against the plan.

However, the rest of the captains thought that he was just being gutless and they all looked down on him.

In fact, there was a very serious clique and faction issue within the International Crimes Unit as well, not to mention that the first few divisions were constantly looking down on the rest of the divisions because they handled more missions and had higher points.

The captain of the 2nd division scoffed at Jiang Ningbei. Then, he turned toward the captain of the 1st division and said, “You’re the boss here, so you make the call. What do you think of the plan?”

The captain of the 1st division had solved three major cases ever since he had joined the International Crimes Unit. He was also the one who had led the team into capturing Anmisu, one of the murderers from the Equinox Flower case.

Therefore, the captain of the 2nd division was certain that he would not be afraid of a big company like the Fu Corporation.

However, he waited for a long while, yet he did not receive a response from the captain of the 1st division. Just as he began getting impatient and was about to press on, a voice rang out. “No. We can’t do anything to the Fu Corporation.”

The captain of the 2nd division was stunned, as he had not expected this answer either.

“Are you afraid of the Fu Corporation as well?”

“Fu Zhao has not been very active in the past few years, so I don’t think there’s anything we should be wary of.

“We just need to know the information of the driver. The surveillance video is practically unrecoverable. If the Fu Corporation still refuses to cooperate with us to find the information of the driver even after we show them proof, I see no harm in hacking into their database. Besides, we…”

The captains of the International Crimes Unit chimed in one after another, leaving no room for Jiang Ningbei to voice his opinion. Thus, he just kept silent.

‘Well, I warned you guys. Don’t come and cry in front of me when Fu Zhi gets angry.’

Then, he turned and looked at the chatbox of the captain of the 1st division. He had no idea why but he had a hunch that this captain was hard to get along with and he was much more capable than all the other captains there.

Just as this thought surfaced in his mind, the man said, “Send me the link to the video. I will try my best to recover it.”

Jiang Ningbei was startled when he heard what the man had said. The bad hunch inside of him was getting stronger and stronger. He hastily pulled his phone out and sent a text message to Fu Zhi.

[Can the surveillance video that you deleted be recovered?]

It took Fu Zhi about 5 minutes to reply to him. [It’d be virtually impossible if you tried to fix it.]

Jiang Ningbei was speechless.

It went without saying that the surveillance video could be recovered, not to mention that Fu Zhi had not gotten the chance to clean up the traces since Li Nanli had woken up.

However, she had a basic grasp of the ability of the members in the International Crimes Unit and she was pretty certain that nobody was able to recover the video.

That said…

After roughly ten minutes, a clump of silver that should be the sports car appeared on the screen. Then, the registration plate of the car became clearer. A moment later, just as they were about to see the face of the driver, the screen blacked out again.

Li Nanli was dumbfounded.

Then, the captain of the 2nd division said, “This keeps happening to us as well. Whenever we’re about to see the face of the driver, the video crashes.”

After multiple failed attempts, even the captain of the 2nd division, who was the best of them, gave up. He even wondered if the driver had an issue with them. Otherwise, why would he torture them like this?

“This is taking too much time. Let’s just hack into the Fu Corporation’s database.”

“Yeah, right. Compared to this person, it might be easier to hack into the Fu Corporation’s database.”

“Can you fix it?”

Li Nanli did not say anything. He switched to a new interface and tried again.

Everyone waited with bated breath.

The interface of the surveillance video crashed several times, which really intrigued Li Nanli.

His eyes shone with excitement, and his typing speed became even faster.

“Got it,” he said as he sat up from the bed.

The rest of the captains hastily asked, “Who is the driver?”

Li Nanli did not reply. He zoomed in on the video, and then a delicate face appeared in his line of sight. Even though the driver was wearing sunglasses, Li Nanli was still able to recognize who she was at first glance and he froze as a result.

“Hello? Are you still there?” the captain of the 2nd division asked. “Can you tell us who the driver is now?”

The captain of the 3rd division chimed in, “Yeah, right. Hurry up!”

It was only then that Li Nanli snapped back to reality. His fingers began to move nimbly around the keyboard, deleting the recovered surveillance footage completely.

After roughly 10 minutes, he said, “I’m sorry. It was a mistake. I couldn’t recover the video either.”

The rest of the captains were stumped. They all fell silent for a few minutes straight, as they did not know what they should say. Then, after what seemed like ages, the captain of the 7th division said something, shattering the silence. “Well, this hacker is pretty good, so don’t feel too bad about not recovering the video. Can you send the link back to us?”

“About that…” Li Nanli said as he took the cup of warm water from the desk. “I’m sorry, but I accidentally deleted it as well.”

“What?!”

All of them were stunned.

Initially, they’d all thought that Li Nanli might be able to do something about the video, but they had not expected that not only would he not be able to recover the video, but he’d even delete the link!

That said, the captains of the 4th and 5th divisions really wanted to shout at Li Nanli but, unfortunately, they did not have the guts to do so.

However, the captain of the 2nd division thought otherwise. He was only a rank lower than Li Nanli, so he was not afraid of him at all. He said, “How can you make such a newbie mistake? Could you perhaps know the driver and not want us to get to him?”

“Who knows,” Li Nanli said. “Maybe the two of us are entwined by the red thread of fate.”

The rest of the captains were speechless.

‘Is he gay?’

This was the thought that popped into their heads.

“Since the captain of the 1st division doesn’t agree to the plan and we have lost the link to the video…” the captain of the 2nd division said as he pinched the spot between his eyebrows. “Captains of the 4th and 5th divisions, you guys will wait on Mount Qiu Ling and see if you can run into the driver or not. Captains of the 6th and 7th divisions, you guys are going to Myanmar today to help them capture Matthew. We must get to him this time, no matter what it takes!”

“Roger!”

At the same time, in a certain lodge in Myanmar…

The floor of the dimly lit room was cluttered and littered with empty cups.

A bearded man wearing a black sweatshirt was pacing back and forth in the room. He was holding a card in his hand while he was talking on the phone. His face was livid with rage, and his voice was thick with frustration. “Frozen? Why is my bank card frozen? There are about 10 million dollars in the card! Where the hell is my money? I need an explanation, Arnold!”

Apparently, the man on the other side of the phone was not in a better situation than him. He could hear a lot of noise through the phone, as if they were moving something.

“The money in your bank card belongs to the organization. You’re the one who took it without our permission. The reason we did not get it back from you is that we hoped you would realize your mistake and come back to us one day.”

However, things were different now. Arnold’s expression was dark as he said, “That mad dog Shen Cizhou has been attacking us every day, and we have suffered a lot of casualties and losses. We are in need of money right now, so we cannot afford to take care of people who can’t contribute anything to us anymore. This 10 million dollars is just the beginning. I will get the rest of the money back from you some other day!”

Then, without waiting for Matthew to say anything, Arnold hung up the call.

Beep, beep, beep…

While listening to the busy signal on his phone, Matthew flew into a rage and threw his phone away.

“F*ck! F*ck!”

He had killed the owner of the lodge, and there was enough food for him. However, there was no milk tea there.

Now that his bank card was frozen, he could not order milk tea online anymore and he had to drink milk tea whenever he was thinking.. Therefore, he had to leave the lodge in order to find himself some milk tea.
