Chapter 61 Overturning the Case

"Breakthrough?"

Li Zhanyi moved closer to Jiang Zhengge's computer and looked at the documents on it.

"Don't rush," Jiang Zhengge slurped up a mouthful of noodles, "I'll explain in detail this afternoon."

"Oh...that's definitely the breakthrough," Li Zhanyi nodded slightly as he looked at the description in the document, "That director who followed Captain England, Zuo Xia!"

"Impatient..." Jiang Zhengge shrugged and took a sip of soup. "This is all thanks to Lin Chen. His dashcam captured Zuo Xia's face and the process of him 'opening the door'."

"Yes," Lin Chen nodded, "Director Zuo Xia has a device that can open that time portal."

"This kind of portal is extraordinary. Generally speaking, only demigods of Euclid's level can manipulate space."

Jiang Zhengge put down the empty plastic bowl and wiped his mouth.

"The Anomalies Department spent all night calculating and just concluded that this ability to open doors is most likely provided by a powerful anomalous entity, and the Foundation has already taken control of this anomalous entity."

The unusual entity that opened the door... Lin Chen recalled the gray-white city deep in the subspace that he had seen in the "Mirage City".

That door leads to that city.

If this door allows one to travel between different locations, then that city is actually a transit point?

"Unfortunately, we still don't know what's behind that door," Jiang Zhengge rubbed his eyes. "If we want to find out, we'll have to get the device to open the door from Director Zuo Xia."

"So let's just go and rob them!" Li Zhanyi suddenly exclaimed excitedly.

"It'll be tough. Once they see his face, that guy will definitely hide like the plague," Jiang Zhengge shook his head. "So let's have a meeting this afternoon to discuss what to do... Oh, I can't take it anymore, I need to sleep. You guys go do whatever you need to do, go, go..."

Jiang Zhengge got up, lay down on the folding bed behind his workstation, and slept peacefully like a sphinx.

Seeing his exhausted appearance, Lin Chen couldn't help but shake his head:

"Our section chief is truly carrying a heavy burden for us..."

"Then let's enjoy this peaceful life," Li Zhanyi snapped his fingers. "Let's go find your little rich woman and report back!"

"How did I become my little rich girl..."

"Oh dear, I was just standing by as an automatic prophet, wasn't I? I didn't even say much to Miss Shen. But since I already accepted a dose of Azure Factor from you, being your wingman isn't a big deal~"

"Idiot..." Lin Chen chuckled and shook his head.

Who asked you to be their wingman? Seriously...

The two chatted and laughed as they took the elevator downstairs and arrived at the entrance of the Investigation Bureau.

As soon as he stepped outside, Lin Chen saw the Ghost parked not far away, its silver Spirit of Ecstasy shimmering in the sunlight.

It was during the commute, and the flow of people at the Bureau of Investigation's entrance was second only to the end of the workday. Employees cast astonished glances as they passed by Ghost, and people were taking pictures from time to time.

"Holy crap, damn it..."

"Did the bureau chief embezzle?"

"Whose young master is here for work..."

Then, under the spotlight and the flashing lights of everyone's attention, Lin Chen and Li Zhanyi boarded the back seat of the Ghost.

"Bang!"

After closing the door, Lin Chen rubbed his temples and sighed softly.

"It's over..." he muttered to himself.

"What's wrong?" Shen Xuanyi turned around from the driver's seat.

"Everyone knows Zhan Yi, but they're not that familiar with me," Lin Chen said frankly. "If I get into a luxury car in front of everyone like this, there will probably be a lot of rumors..."

Seeing Lin Chen's troubled expression, Shen Xuanyi paused for a moment, then a smile appeared on her usually cold face.

"Looks like my job today is to be the driver."

"No offense intended." Lin Chen quickly put on his armor.

"It's nothing, it's my duty to be your driver," Shen Xuanyi said softly.

Accompanied by the roar of the V12 engine, the luxury car drove out of the Investigation Bureau and headed towards Mingzhu Beach District.

"Let's go to my house this time," Shen Xuanyi said. "I've dismissed all the butlers and bodyguards. There's a secure room there; I'll treat you to a meal."

"Oh? We're going to a big house?" Li Zhanyi asked excitedly. "I've never been to a rich person's house before!"

"Actually, there's not much difference," Shen Xuanyi chuckled. "Sometimes, I'd rather hide back in the dilapidated house from my childhood, so the whole world can't find me."

The Ghost drove smoothly down the street, safely taking everyone to their destination.

About an hour later, Lin Chen and Li Zhanyi pushed open the door to Shen Xuanyi's property in Mingzhu Beach.

This is a large, single-level apartment of over 500 square meters, with floor-to-ceiling windows facing the Yudu Star Radio and Television Tower, and below is Yudu's most luxurious commercial district.

As soon as Lin Chen entered, he saw two familiar figures: a plastic guard in a suit standing in the porch, holding two assault rifles.

Isn't this one of our Investigation Bureau's "police officers"...?

"Ha!" The abnormal entity hunched over as soon as it saw Li Zhanyi.

"Hello, hello," Li Zhanyi said with a smile, waving to the two fully armed figures. "These two little guys are here to work?"

"Yes, your Section Chief Jiang arranged it for me, saying it's more trustworthy than humans."

Shen Xuanyi smiled faintly at the two of them and said:

"Come on, follow me to the encrypted room."

Lin Chen and Li Zhanyi put on shoe covers and followed Shen Xuanyi into the super-large mansion.

They entered a small, enclosed living room, and after closing the door, a buzzing sound began.

"Have a seat," Shen Xuanyi said, pointing to the sofa opposite her.

Lin Chen and Li Zhanyi sat down on the sofa, then took out a copy of a file from their briefcases and handed it to Shen Xuanyi:

"This is the archive for the Iron Cape Bridge project."

"The logistics department confirmed this last night," Li Zhanyi nodded. "The Tiejiao Bridge does not have any engineering defects; the disaster was man-made."

Shen Xuanyi took the file, flipped through it left and right, and suddenly tears welled up in her eyes.

"Thank you," she said softly. "With this file, at least my father can have his case overturned."

She gently wiped away her tears, stood up, and bowed deeply to Lin Chen and Li Zhanyi.

"Section Chief Jiang talked to me about yesterday's events. He told me that you two are the heroes of this operation."

"It's not really true," Lin Chen quickly declined. "This operation was the result of the concerted efforts of everyone in the Investigation Bureau."

"It's my duty," Li Zhanyi waved his hand.

Looking at the two humble investigators, Shen Xuanyi smiled through her tears.

"In fact, someone from the Foundation contacted me last night," Shen Xuanyi said softly. "Of course, it was anonymous, but I could guess it was them. They promised to give me the files, on the condition that United Concrete would have to act as the Foundation's lackey..."

They kept the last file intact so they could extort money from it now... Lin Chen frowned slightly.

It seems the foundation's goal is to swallow up United Concrete Group rather than destroy it, and it has probably already prepared a whitewashing plan.

"What did you say?" Lin Chen asked.

"I rejected them," Shen Xuanyi said with a faint smile, "and left a recording of the phone call."

"Even if I die, I'll still give them a piece of my flesh."
