Chapter 354: Chapter 222: Computer Technology

“Here they come.”

Li Xiang picked up his coat and put it on, then headed to the parking lot with Jiang Fei to get the car.

With prior mission experience, Li Xiang was much more composed in handling the case this time.

After returning from the hospital, the special task force was established on schedule.

Besides his normal investigations, Li Xiang secretly formed a small team led by a computer expert he requested from his superiors.

The purpose of this team was to monitor the Zhao Family 24/7.

With the support of Li Xiang’s Grandmaster Level computer technology, he hacked into the computers of Zhao Shujie and Zhao Wanting.

That’s right, Zhao Wanting was also under his surveillance.

He couldn’t believe Zhao Wanting could become the president of the Zhao Group and still be as innocent as she appeared.

In short, both Zhao siblings were under his watch.

Compared to Zhao Shujie’s computer filled with various viruses and bizarre art films, Zhao Wanting’s computer was much cleaner.

After successfully infiltrating, he had a computer expert monitor them. Whatever they did on the computer would be clearly observed by the police.

Additionally, the Zhao siblings’ phones were also monitored. Whoever they talked to or called was also under surveillance.

Of course, Zhao Madam, the maid, and Ding Xiang’s phones were not left out either. From masters to servants, top to bottom, this family now had no secrets at all.

This is the charm of high technology.

The start of this mission was much stronger than the previous two.

Before, the enemy was in hiding while they were in the open. While their investigations could still proceed, they relied heavily on deductive reasoning for most intelligence.

But now, things were different; they directly switched from light to dark, eavesdropping on their every move.

During the first visit to the Zhao Family, Li Xiang didn’t go himself. Instead, he arranged for Jiang Fei and others to go while he stayed in the control room, listening to their calls.

Sure enough, after Jiang Fei and his team visited the Zhao Family,

Ding Xiang called Zhao Shujie.

“Captain Li, Ding Xiang made a call to Zhao Shujie.”

“Patch it through.”

“Yes.”

The monitoring team patched the call through, and after a brief static, Zhao Shujie’s voice came through clearly:

“Young master, a team of police officers is outside. They seem to suspect us, saying the master’s death might be murder.”

“Heh, the police, what do they know? Go to my room and get a controller from my drawer, show them a thing or two.”

“But… isn’t this bad? What if something happens…”

“What are you afraid of? They’re having a car accident on the road. What does it have to do with us? It’s nothing, just do it, and leave the rest to me.”

“But…”

“Do you still want to sleep with my sister or not?”

“Alright, I’ll do it.”

The call ended there.

Li Xiang put down the headset, feeling quite reflective. Zhao Shujie really had audacity, willingly offering his own sister.

Of course, Li Xiang also knew this was just Zhao Shujie’s way of manipulating Ding Xiang. The person who would eventually be silenced had little sway with Zhao Shujie. Just a tool for murder, that’s all.

After that, Li Xiang called Jiang Fei. Although he didn’t go with them, he still reminded them to turn on the law enforcement recorder and hide it in a dark corner. This would ensure stronger evidence.

On the other end, Jiang Fei quickly answered.

“Captain Li, what’s up?”

“Everything going smoothly over there?”

“Everything’s smooth, but it seems Zhao Madam doesn’t know much.”

“That’s fine, just record your notes as usual. The goal of your visit this time was to startle them and reveal that Old Zhao’s death was a murder. After that, let’s see how they perform.”

“Got it. We’ll chat a little more then head back. After all, we delivered our message.”

“Alright, just be careful on the way back. We just intercepted Zhao Shujie’s call. He arranged for someone to tamper with your vehicle. Check the law enforcement recorder to see what he did.”

“Understood.”

After hanging up, Li Xiang left the control room. Today’s task was complete.

The rest was to let the situation play out for a while.

Time quickly passed, and it was already the next day. Li Xiang began assigning other tasks to the special task force in the morning.

These tasks were based on leads from last time, instructing the special task force to gather evidence. But now, Li Xiang already knew the outcomes, so finding clues was much easier.

Under Li Xiang’s command, the task force worked very efficiently.

The maid Zhou Xiaofeng and her son were investigated, and Rong Yuhui from the Rong Group was also on the task force’s investigation list.

According to the original plan, Li Xiang arranged for Jiang Fei to summon the maid Zhou Xiaofeng that afternoon.

The interrogation process for the maid wasn’t too troublesome.

As soon as the transaction records were placed in front of her, her psychological defenses crumbled completely.

She confessed everything she knew.

Next, they had to go to the Zhao Family and bring back the key witness, Ding Xiang, for the case.

But to get Ding Xiang to confess quickly, Li Xiang planned not to let him die this time but rather to save him before he took the elevator.

“Jiang Fei, take someone to the Zhao Family and bring back Ding Xiang.”

“Yes.”

After dispatching Jiang Fei, the control room called: “Captain Li, Zhao Wanting contacted Ding Xiang and told him to go to the company headquarters.”

“Got it. We’re already on our way to the company headquarters, intercept Ding Xiang first.”

When the call came in from the monitoring team, Li Xiang was already headed to the company headquarters with task force members.

Five minutes later, they arrived at the location and waited at the entrance.

Before long, a car slowly pulled up to the company’s entrance, and Ding Xiang got out. Soon, a security guard ran over.

“Team Leader Ding, coming to pick something up today?”

“Mind your own business, open the door.”

“Alright.”

After the security guard opened the company’s main door, he watched as Ding Xiang went inside and waited at the entrance.

He had to open the door again when Ding Xiang left.

As soon as Ding Xiang went inside, Li Xiang and his team approached the security guard.

“Who are you people?”

“Police,”

Li Xiang flashed his credentials without waiting for the security guard to get a clear look and rushed past him.

Time was of the essence. If Ding Xiang got into the elevator, it would be too late.

“Hey, you can’t go in there!”

The security guard tried to stop Li Xiang but was pulled back by a task force member behind him: “Look carefully, we are the police, handling a case. If you interfere, you’re obstructing justice. I can detain you right now.”

Seeing the handcuffs in the person’s hand, the security guard immediately backed down.

For a salary of two thousand bucks, it wasn’t worth risking it.

Inside the company headquarters.

Ding Xiang walked to the elevator and reached out to press the button, and the elevator descended to the floor.

Ding~

The elevator arrived.

Just as Ding Xiang was about to step into the elevator, a voice came from behind: “If you don’t want to die, stay right there.”

As a former soldier, Ding Xiang instinctively turned around upon hearing the voice and assumed a defensive stance, asking, “Who are you?”

“Special task force leader, Li Xiang.”

“What do you want?”

“To save your life.”

“What?”

Ding Xiang didn’t understand why the task force leader would show up in the middle of the night, claiming he was there to save him.

But since the other party was here, it was evident that he’d been exposed.

Since last night, he had been unable to sleep a wink and for a simple reason.

The controller they placed on the police car had malfunctioned.

The next day, the police were unharmed.

While he felt relieved, he was also worried if he had been exposed somehow.

The maid went out again this afternoon and disappeared, causing him much anxiety.

Seeing Li Xiang at that moment, he was even more certain he had been exposed.

“Zhao Shujie wants to kill you to silence you. As long as you get in the elevator, it will become your iron coffin.”

“Impossible. The young master wouldn’t kill me.”

Ding Xiang’s mind was in chaos. Though he verbally denied the police’s words, he began to doubt internally.

He knew too many secrets about the young master.

“Whether it’s possible or not, we can verify it.”
