"Find them? Who? Secretary Lin?" The agent muttered as his gaze trailed Li Yiming. He was still in a state of confusion, but he heeded Li Yiming's request nonetheless.
"What the h.e.l.l?" As he entered the backroom of the shop, he could not help but swear out loud despite his wealth of experience.
"h.e.l.lo! I…" The young agent rushed outside to report his findings to his superiors while resolving to never let Li Yiming do things on his own again. It was not uncommon for National Security agents to resort to "unconventional methods" to extract information, but Li Yiming had produced a mess which was extremely difficult to clean up after.
However, Li Yiming was now long gone and he would have to call for reinforcements to track him down at this point.
"What? What do you mean waiting for orders?" The agent held his transmitter dumbly, refusing to believe his ears.
"These are orders." A frustrated voice was heard, which seemed to indicate that his direct superior also disagreed with the decision.
As the young agent hung up the call, he wondered an order for pa.s.siveness had been given when the secretary has been kidnapped.
'There's more to this case than I had thought. Still, I need to clean up after Li Yiming…'

"Yun Yiyuan… So it is you…" Ying Mei produced a satisfied smile as she looked at the information on her tablet. It was a phone record of many high-ranking officers in National Security. One familiar number stood out from the rest: the one of Yunyu Corporation.
After hearing about the kidnapping, Ying Mei's immediately suspected Yun Yiyuan's involvement. However, given that she obtained most of her information through him, she had to do her own homework to investigate the matter independently.
"Ms. Ying, we have confirmed that the gang leader has had contact with Mr. Yun's chauffeur during the weekend. Should we continue to investigate?" A voice was heard through her phone.
"No need. Tell your people to come back." Ying Mei said and took off her earphone. 'So it was his idea. What is the up to? Is this a test to see how Li Yiming will react? Or has he also found out about the truth behind Wu Jia? Since he decided to keep the information to himself, then surely he suspects me.'
