YM778.TV Chapter 37 Myself!
Ru stiffened a bit hearing his suggestion. Logically speaking, there was nothing wrong with his suggestion. But how could Ru tell him that she didn’t know the color because... Sigh! It didn’t matter at the moment. "I didn’t notice the color." Ru lied plainly keeping her secrets buried inside as always.
Although Wu Dishi found her words quite absurd, he still stayed quiet. "Why there is no CCTV footage from the back hallway?" Ru questioned noticing all the screens before her.
"Oh, that was damaged before the event started and someone must have forgotten to fix it." Wu Dishi answered hoping that his master doesn’t make this into an issue.
Ru rubbed her forehead in exasperation. She leaned back in the swivel chair and closed her eyes. Taking deep breaths from her mouth, she put the world on silent mode around her. And her mind rewinds to play the scene from earlier.
’Black van...’ That was one thing she was sure about. ’The lady had a height of about 167 cm if we don’t count her 5-inch heels.’ She tapped her fingers on the tabletop in a rhythmic manner. ’Anything particular... Anything... Focus young master focus!’ Ru was having a battle with her own mind. And it worked as her mind caught on to a certain detail.
"A hawk logo!" Ru spoke out suddenly startling Wu Dishi who had been frozen still up till now.
"Huh? What do you mean, master?" Wu Dishi inquired since his mind couldn’t comprehend her words. In all honesty, he never understood his master.
She vaguely figured out a logo at the side of the black van and Ru had faith in herself that she’d get somewhere with that information. "Bring me a laptop!" She ordered Wu Dishi and seeing him still standing there, she snapped her fingers before his eyes. "Should I bring tea for Mr. Wu?" Wu Dishi shook his head and she snapped at him, "Then move fast!"
Wu Dishi immediately got to business leaving Ru alone in the security room. Her eyes skimmed over the screens but she wasn’t paying attention. She didn’t know what the woman looked like but she had gotten another clue from her mind. While that lady was getting on the van, her hair lifted to a side showing a musical note tattoo on her shoulder.
Soon, Wu Dishi brought a high-tech laptop and stood at a side. Ru turned on the laptop and got to work. The first phase was to look for the company who had that hawk logo. And it didn’t take long before the result was before her eyes.
"Eastern Security Inc..." Ru read out the company’s name.
"Oh! Master," Wu Dishi’s mind rang a bell and went on, "This is a subsidiary of Ji Corporation. They have the country’s biggest and strongest security network."
"Ji Corporation?" Ru’s brows furrowed. "Is it the same one whose Chairman I just met in the party?" Seeing the way Wu Dishi nodded his head, she fell into deep thought. "Wait! This company... Do they provide security to others or just have it to protect their own empire?"
"They have the rank system just like you have," Wu Dishi started. "From what I’ve heard, the red rank guards are available for anyone to hire while the black ones are reserved for politicians or other prominent figures. As for their personal security, they keep the best. The blue rank guards."
Ru nodded and shrugged her shoulders indifferently since this had nothing to do with her at all. She had other things to worry about. How would she know which rank guards were here tonight? Looking at the laptop screen, Ru cracked her knuckles languidly and after stretching her fingers, her fingers flew all over the laptop.
Her sun-kissed complexion along with those long but slender fingers was skimming over the keyboard as a dragonfly skims over the water. Wu Dishi couldn’t even blink his eyes since he felt like he would miss this beautiful sight.
Strings of code were flashing on the black screen. And after ten minutes when her fingers lifted up, Wu Dishi could see plenty of folders on the screen. "Phew! They have one seriously sick security design for their server."
Wu Dishi’s eyes widened. "Master! Did you just hacked into the Ji Corporation’s main server?" His heart was beating violently while beads of cold sweat were running down his face.
"Ay? What are you talking about? I can’t get into Ji Corporation’s main server. They had built it separately. One can only hack it from inside. For now, I only needed details about that security van I saw." She took a pause while clicking through some documents and explained, "Look, I just got the details about the whereabouts of their security vans for tonight. Then I narrowed it down by searching the van who came to the convention center."
She showed the number plate and details of security guards who were in that van along with who was the guest they were accompanying. "Ji Caihong! Who is she and why was she with the blue ranked guards?"
"She’s Chairman Ji Yifeng’s only daughter." Wu Dishi answered as much as he knew.
Ru typed strings of codes again and Ji Caihong’s biography opened before her. She didn’t read anything about her except for Ji Caihong’s age and profession. Looking at the picture of a sweet looking girl, Ru couldn’t help but frown. ’Was she the one? My mind is certainly not ringing a bell.’ But since this was a lead, she couldn’t let it slip away.
"Aish! I’m leaving!" She slammed the laptop but luckily the laptop survived from her wrath.
The event had long been ended and Ru heaved a sigh of relief for that. She wasn’t in the mood to face that many people all over again. With a whistle tune floating out from her mouth and both hands in front pockets of her jeans, she was trudging towards the exit, lost in her own world.
"Where have you been?" Hearing that voice Ru whipped her body instinctively.
"You just scared me, Mr. Xiao," Ru remarked while rubbing her nose tip.
Xiao Zhi-Ren rolled his eyes at her saying, "As if Mr. Xie is scared of anything."
"You never know. Perhaps, even I’m scared of something." Ru pointed out vaguely.
"And what is it that Mr. Xie is scared of exactly?" Xiao Zhi-Ren questioned raising his brow.
Ru came closer to him and looked around to make sure nobody was around. Leaning close to his ear, she whispered, "Myself." Xiao Zhi-Ren would have taken her words as a joke but the look on her face told him that she wasn’t lying. The person before him was truly scared of ’himself’ but the question was; why?
"Let’s go together. We’re going the same way." Xiao Zhi-Ren offered, looking at her green eyes that seemed to be always wandering around.
"That’s a good idea. I’ll be able to save some money." This time Xiao Zhi-Ren wasn’t surprised at all by her words. He had figured that she was the kind of person who could spend millions for the sake of hobbies but would always be in conflict when it comes to spending a penny on her basic needs.
"Cheapstake!" Xiao Zhi-Ren grumbled again making Ru scowl at him.
