Chapter 851: 331 arrested! Grandpa is about to make a move!
Chen Beixuan didn’t think Bai Lian was the type to go to bars.
Hearing "Qinglong Bar" from Bai Lian’s mouth surprised Chen Beixuan, though she was never one to talk much.
She drove straight to Qinglong Bar in Yunxiao District.
At twelve o’clock, the bar wasn’t yet open.
The entire street was quiet, Chen Beixuan parked the car by the roadside, turning her head to look at Bai Lian, "The bar isn’t open yet..."
Qinglong Bar, with its back against a large tree, enforced its rules on everyone here, Chen Beixuan included.
Her intention was to remind Bai Lian that the bar was not open and they couldn’t enter yet.
But to her surprise, after Bai Lian exchanged a glance with her, she got out of the car and walked directly towards the bar’s entrance.
Chen Beixuan watched Bai Lian enter Qinglong Bar, and the next second, the manager opened the door of the bar.
The bar.
The manager handed a list to Bai Lian, "Miss Bai, this is the list Master Mao asked me to give to you."
Bai Lian walked upstairs, her eyes scanning the list, "Where is he?"
The list consisted of people trained by Mao Kun and Hall Master Jin over the past year, some of whom worked in the bar, while others taught at the martial arts gym.
Most of the people remained at Xiangcheng Martial Arts Gym.
"Master Mao just left for the gym," said the manager, following behind Bai Lian.
All of Qinglong Bar in Jiangjing was managed by Xiaoqi and Mao Kun. Top to bottom, it was their people. Wang Youfeng didn’t interfere with Mao Kun’s affairs, and the manager was one of Mao Kun’s confidants as well.
He knew that in Xiaoqi and Mao Kun’s area, Bai Lian’s status was on par with Wang Youfeng.
Bai Lian skimmed through the document swiftly, her fair fingers closed the list and handed it back, "Notify them, have the people from Xiangcheng come over."
The manager nodded and immediately gave the order.
Upon reaching the top floor, they entered the innermost private room, which housed a bunch of instruments emitting a green glow.
This was the core area of Qinglong Bar.
Bai Lian approached the satellite communication machine, dialed out a communication link, and this time too, there was no response.
She wasn’t surprised.
Ming Dongheng had made significant progress this year. Although not as strong as Mao Kun, in Bai Lian’s view, he was good enough.
The people Jiang Fulai sent with him would naturally not be weak.
Bai Lian was not worried about Ming Dongheng making a mistake, and as for Jiang Fulai, he must have taken Ming Dongheng with him for a reason.
What worried her now was whether Ma Institute’s scholar and Jiang Fulai could survive this ordeal.
The phone rang.
It was Chen Beixuan’s call.
Chen Beixuan was outside, her voice urgent, the sound of an engine starting could already be heard through the phone, "Miss Bai, the Chen Family has a 990 emergency."
CLA990 emergency code.
It seemed she had received the message.
"You go back first," Bai Lian instructed the manager to continue collecting information, "I have someone to pick me up."
Chen Beixuan pressed the accelerator, returning to the Chen Family.
Bai Lian stood in the communication room for a while, then raised her hand, "Take me to the research institute."
The scholar from Ma Institute had left her a string of keys regarding Project 925.
**
The message from the scholar at Ma Institute hadn’t yet reached the research institute.
When Bai Lian arrived, everything seemed normal.
The gatekeeper recognized Bai Lian and let her pass directly.
There were many people in the research institute. Some of them had seen Bai Lian and faintly guessed that she was a student favored by the scholar of Ma Institute and were always friendly toward her.
She went through unobstructed into the scholar’s office.
Tapping into the scholar’s computer,
It was password-free, and Bai Lian immediately accessed a hidden folder on the scholar’s desktop that required a long string of keys. She recalled several things the scholar told her before and the lengthy answers from their last engagement.
She entered them one by one.
It wasn’t right.
She hadn’t misremembered, nor were the answers wrong—it meant the keys weren’t meant for this.
Bai Lian shut down the computer.
Stood up.
The phone rang again. This time it was Pu Xiaohan, "Lian Jie, we finished eating. Are you done with your tasks? We are preparing to play Werewolf again and waiting for you."
Werewolf.
Bai Lian pushed open the window in the scholar’s office, a chill wind blew in, and she spoke calmly, "You guys play first, I don’t have time to come back for now."
Pu Xiaohan was surprised but did not press further, "Sure."
This group had blind trust in Bai Lian.
**
Once the 990 code was issued, two hours later,
The relevant departments immediately sealed the entire project, initiating a strict defensive stance.
Ever since the incident that occurred more than a decade ago, domestic safety of researchers had been prioritized.
The Jiang Family.
Jiang Xijue also received the news immediately, his face serious as he called to inquire with the general rear echelon.
Just getting started, their communications devices were already destroyed. People at the general rear were unable to find out anything; facing the ire of the Jiang Family, they all felt cold sweat on their foreheads and were lost for words.
