Steel steam and flame

After changing her clothes, Ye Jielin brought her identity card to the family's internal database. After several levels of identity and permission unlocking, the footsteps finally stopped in a hall. Directly in front is a row of exquisite long tables, which are the same as the counters in various branches of Golden Bank. There are more than a dozen windows lined up, most of them unused, with family members sitting behind them bored and chatting with each other about interesting things about the day.

Walking to a window, Ye Jielin handed over the identity card: "Borrow the search function of the family's internal database."

"Please come to room 43." The staff member replied with a smile while looking at the information processed by the analysis engine branch.

After entering the slowly opened tooth-shaped metal door on the side of the hall, a long passage extends for several hundred meters. The cold white light will make the air here seem to be blue. The passage is in the shape of a fishbone, and the corners of the room doors on both sides are outlined with numbers arranged in sequence using light green light.

They are all houses less than 20 to 30 square meters, and the air circulation system is always running, keeping the temperature here at 25 degrees Celsius all year round. Whether it was to ensure accuracy or for something else, Ye Jielin didn't care. Insert the identity card into the machine card slots in the center of the room. After a few seconds, her detailed information is displayed on the magnetic board, from name to position. In the upper right corner is the word "four", which represents identity authority. value. Level zero is the highest authority. In the Webley family, apart from members of the Presbyterian Church, only the current patriarch has this authority. Most of the other important senior management are in the first or second level, and the third and fourth levels are generally middle management. Ye Jielin has such authority, which was given by her mother, Mrs. Manshelley.

All the text used was a bright and eye-catching red. Ye Jielin knew the process. She pressed the OK button, and the screen was immediately covered by a string of light blue words "Verifying identity".

A buzzing sound that was detected by a keen sense of touch after being flooded with radio signals rang in my ears. It lasted for less than a second. The magnetic board indicated that the identity verification was successful and that the search function could be used.

Ye Jielin used a mechanical keyboard to type in the name of the new patriarch, and a huge exclamation point framed by a triangle filled the feature film magnetic board. This was expected. When the warning was cleared, Ye Jielin called up the family member directory, but without exception, the lists of people related to the new patriarch were hidden in advance. It is no longer possible to investigate the details of these people, or their previous positions, business scope, surgical level, and a detailed resume from birth to present.

Sighing, Ye Jielin pulled out her identity card, drove to the outskirts of Manoma, found a public communication facility, and contacted Atuohuan.

"You should have received some intelligence information about the Webley Arms Company."

"I just found out about it not long ago, and I'm still processing it now." Atuohuan replied.

"Help me collect relevant information, especially the group of people connected with the new clan leader. You know exactly what I want. People of similar age to us, as well as people with talent and strength in the new clan leader's previous department. List of personnel. Their information is blocked within the family, but I think the information you have there may not be more detailed than what I have here."

"Are you going to take action against them?" Atuohuan heard Ye Jielin's tone. It was not as simple as wanting to understand. "The time is not good."

"No, it's just necessary precautions and understanding. As for whether to take action or not, that's all before and after the assessment. It's impossible now. Webley has started to take action. We, this group of people, don't have the experience to deal with it. Let's start with ourselves. Prepare everything that can be prepared so that you will not fall into passivity in the future. You know I have always been a very proactive person, and passively dealing with abnormalities consumes time." Ye Jielin replied, looking at the slowly gathering clouds, "What about you? The same goes for Bian. Before Infinity Communications Company becomes like Webley, you need to collect things in advance and make plans as soon as possible. For a giant company jointly managed by two families, the relationship network is more complicated. The trouble caused by insufficient information is far greater than the gap in strength. It’s much bigger.”

"I'll probably have the results here in about a week." Atuohuan replied, "One more thing, Cassia asked me to help him investigate a collector not long ago, but there was no result."

"collector?"

"Yes, a collector of famous paintings, artworks, jewelry and all kinds of weird and rare things."

"In this way, I will contact him, and you can handle your own affairs first."

"The location is a bit far from the central area here. It is a well-developed place in the sub-fringe area. It will take more than half an hour for the defense team to rush over after noticing the movement. If there is any situation, please send a signal immediately. I have already planned the follow-up action plan and the escape route. Don't worry about the impact." On the road with not many cars, Delya looked at the time and said to Cassia.

"It's like a gathering of mice." Cassia replied without any connection, "This should be considered a legitimate transaction."

"The position set by the collector cannot be changed, we can only agree to it."

Cassia nodded in agreement with Delya's words and tied it with a dark blue and dark brown striped tie. He looked in the rearview mirror at his changed face, put on his thin metal-rimmed glasses, and after a slight adjustment, he suddenly had the aura of a young scholar. Perhaps this was something that existed in his body originally, but was now being actively used.

"No problem, I can't tell what you originally did." Delya looked at Cassia carefully, then handed over the revolver and a special dagger, "The rest of the weapons are behind the limo. The limousine has been encased in soft cushions and has been reinforced with bulletproof armor. It will not be a problem to withstand the bombardment of hundreds of heavy machine guns. We will be distributed within a kilometer around the location, and we hope that we will not need to appear."

"Expectations." Cassia repeated, got out of the car, got into another limo, and drove to the location designated by the collector.

It is a very charming tavern, a two-story building that smells like more than ten years ago. Cassia has seen pictures of this style of building from books. This is the end of the street. The tavern is built among several dim sum shops. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, there are less than five or six people sitting at a dozen tables. Due to time, business is not very good now.

Parking the limousine on the side of the road, Delya said that this was a well-developed gathering place, but the comfort and laziness in the air did not make Cassia feel this. There weren't many pedestrians on the street, and they looked like they hadn't had a good nap.

When entering the tavern, Cassia deliberately amplified the sound of her footsteps. Under the ripples, the general structure of the two-story building emerged in her mind. There is also the basement, the result of sound penetration. It is also a two-story structure. The first floor seems to be specially designed for storing wine and food. The image on the second floor looks blurry, but you can see the blurred shadows of more than a dozen people and several separated rooms. There are some large machines. Place it inside. Something was interfering with the transmission of sound. The floor structure between the two basement levels was very solid.

"Simple workshop?" There was a slight hesitation in his steps. Cassia naturally looked around and compared it with the map Delya gave him. After there were no other conditions, he walked in.

"Hello, dear guest." After taking half a step, the weight sensing device under the floor received the signal, and the speakers hidden in the decorative plant pots on both sides of the door emitted a warm and moving female welcome. The mellow aroma of wine also entered Cassia's nose.

But at this moment, the heart beat uncontrollably and violently, and the blood flow speed immediately accelerated a lot. It was only when Cassia walked to the counter and looked at the beautiful female bartender in front of her with a smile that she returned to her normal state.
