Chapter 539: Chapter 544: Who Moved My Body (Part 16)

The gaze of the entire network was focused on the ever-emerging criminal cases.

It was only then that everyone realized there were so many unseen aspects of the Dark World around them.

Instantly, people felt grateful for the civil servants who had been silently protecting them. In a moment, relevant social media accounts were overwhelmed by the excited masses.

Words of gratitude were heard incessantly because among the various thwarted crime attempts were their own friends, family, and parents.

As the fervor gradually subsided and the masses became calm, they began to notice many doubts.

For instance, how did the relevant departments manage to precisely and efficiently pinpoint the criminals?

A closer look at recent news revealed that all victims were rescued by the police in the nick of time, preventing any severe harm and catching the criminals.

It was as if they had foreseen the future.

The suspicions grew deeper...

For a time, the state of affairs in Yanhuang Country was unprecedentedly clear.

All those with ill intentions dared not act rashly, but that alone wasn’t enough.

After some time, the government made a series of major moves, pulling even the deepest hidden criminals out of their hiding places.

Yanhuang Country refreshed the citizen credit information. Any slight illegal or disciplinary behavior could be brought up using the respective official websites and ID numbers, visible to everyone.

A new batch of prisoners filled the empty jails.

All citizens were shocked... and even more anxious and worried were the spies hiding within Yanhuang Country.

With the clues at hand, they couldn’t help but speculate whether Yanhuang Country’s technology had surpassed a new threshold.

If so, the forces behind them were in trouble.

Decades of established order might be shaken, which was absolutely unacceptable.

They, like the Immortals crossing the sea, each revealed their Divine Skills... prepared to send this crucial information back.

However, before they could start, the incident had already ended.

-------------

In the alley of Children Lane, at 474 Sunflower Road, Xiao Keseng hurriedly carried a letter filled with jumbled characters, rushing outside.

If anyone happened to glance at the letter, they would surely think it was just a child’s random scribblings—meaningless colorful lines and characters, undeserving of any second thought.

Just stepping out of his house, familiar neighbors greeted Xiao Keseng, whose family had lived there for a very long time, starting with his grandfather’s generation.

Many people were extremely familiar with the Xiao Family, some elders had even watched Xiao Keseng grow up.

Normally kind and smiling, Xiao Keseng was unusually aloof this time; facing the warm neighbors, he didn’t even stop to greet them nor did he offer a smile, leaving the neighbors utterly puzzled.

"Xiao Keseng, what’s with him today?"

Xiao Keseng’s hurried steps hadn’t yet taken him out of the alley when he was stopped by someone in a special uniform coming towards him.

His heart pounded violently.

Even though he reassured himself that they must be just passing by,

no one here knew, not even his mother or his wife, that the Xiao Family had been professional agents placed in Yanhuang Country by M country since his great-grandfather’s time,

just that from his grandfather’s generation, they had taken on an even more secretive existence.

His grandfather lived a normal life, married and had children, with nothing different except a deeply hidden identity.

He had never been involved in anything related to that matter, not to mention all of his relatives, whether directly or indirectly related, ostensibly had no connections with any criminals.

Just now, he had received instructions to send out a message.

He couldn’t imagine what kind of crisis would necessitate the use of their deeply hidden agent.

Contrary to what Xiao Keseng had hoped, the two men had come specifically for him.

"Come with us."

Xiao Keseng, struggling to maintain his composure, smiled and took a step back, "May I ask, what have I done wrong?"

"Aren’t you clear about what you’ve done?"

From the moment he had received the instructions until now, it had only been an hour; he absolutely didn’t believe that his biggest secret had been exposed.

"I’m not clear. You should know I’ve been running a company, paying high taxes to the government every year, so I really am a law-abiding good citizen. I can’t imagine what bad thing I’ve done..."

Xiao Keseng made a gesture to pull out his cellphone, "My lawyer will be here soon."

After a moment of panic, Xiao Keseng quickly regained his calm and thought of a way to deal with the situation.

But the two who had come were not ordinary characters. They wouldn’t listen to Xiao Keseng’s ramblings. Seeing that he was uncooperative and without saying a word, they moved forward, handcuffed him, and took him away.

There was no hesitation or delay.

Such incidents were not isolated to this place alone.

In a courtyard-style house, in a living room decorated in an ancient style, incongruously, several large LCD screens were placed.

The screens were divided into many small panels, displaying footage of people of various identities and statuses being arrested and taken away.

One of the frames showed the image of Xiao Keseng being forcibly handcuffed.

An elderly man with white hair watched the screens, striking the ground several times with his cane.

"I never expected there were so many well-hidden criminals in our country."

"Now that’s better, we’ve finally cleaned them up."

After speaking, the old man turned to another hologram and said, "Thank you for your help, Miss Su Li."

On the tall hologram, Su Li stood holding Tao Yao’s hand, smiling and replied, "You’re welcome."

She wasn’t oblivious to the increasingly wary look in the old man’s eyes, but what of it?

Sometimes, only when a knife hangs over one’s head does one know fear and act with careful consideration.

What she was doing now, although it went against the interests of a small group of people, was highly beneficial for the development of Yanhuang Country and its common people.

Nowadays, Tao Yao alone was enough to secure Yanhuang Country like a fortress, stopping any information from leaking out.

The news that could leak out was only what the higher-ups wanted people to know.

With such a series of major moves inside the country, foreign media hadn’t caught even a whiff of it.

Su Li reveled in the convenience and thrill of being a Consciousness, so focused on stirring things up that she had completely pushed Su Family, the Xibei, and Cao Zhiyu to the back of her mind for a long time.

Finally remembering, Su Li decided to go back and observe the repercussions of the sinister moves she had orchestrated.

The scene must be quite something to behold.

After all, she was very petty.

By her own skills, she had raised some stakes; she dared to give them away, do you really dare to accept?
