I was born and listened to my neighbor's older sister talk about her family of origin.

Upon seeing the system task, Jiang Ye realized that what Ji Xiaoxiao had said was indeed true.

Is he truly a legendary undercover agent who will one day uproot that criminal organization?

Their observational skills are terrifyingly sharp, almost like those of a police dog.

Looking at Ji Xiaoxiao's appearance, she probably thought being an undercover agent was a cool thing at this moment.

Just like in the TV series.

But reality is a hundred times crueler than what's depicted in TV dramas.

Jiang Ye really wanted to stop Ji Yue.

The question is, how do we stop it?

Now that we have top-notch hacking skills, the entry point is extremely important and cannot be handled haphazardly.

Since the police have arranged an undercover mission, it basically means that they have already obtained a lot of clues and are just waiting for the final evidence to be used to close the net.

But clearly, according to what the system told him, that criminal organization was very deep, with deeply entrenched forces and higher-level protection, making it extremely difficult to capture.

Going there now would be no different than voluntarily jumping into a meat grinder.

Most of the clues the police have obtained so far are bait deliberately thrown out by the other party.

Once the bait is taken, there is no turning back.

The only solution is to address the root cause.

Before Ji Yue's mission officially begins, stir up trouble and make the police leadership realize that their current investigation is on the wrong track!

How do I stir it?

They have to drop a bombshell, evidence strong enough to overturn all existing conclusions.

For example... to identify one of the "protective umbrellas".

But the question is, who is that protector?

Jiang Ye pressed hard on his temples, his memories of his past life as blurry as old photographs seen through frosted glass.

He only remembered that after Ji Yue's incident, the news did report on one or two high-ranking officials who had fallen from power, their names... what were they again?

What is the position? Is it in the municipal bureau? Or something higher?

Damn!

Human memory is really unreliable. After so much time, those names that he once hated so much are now just vague outlines.

After he traveled back in time, he tried to recall these details, but each time he felt like his brain was filled with mush and he couldn't remember anything.

Now that things are really urgent, this idiot of a brain has to mess things up at this crucial moment!

Stop being so dense, think faster!

Remember it now!

In an instant, Jiang Ye's eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at the air in front of him, as if he wanted to stare a hole through it.

"Jiang Ye? Are you...are you alright?"

Ji Xiaoxiao was startled by his sudden ferocious expression. She forgot to eat the ice cream cone in her hand and cautiously leaned closer.

"Don't scare me like that. It's just that my dad might be going undercover. Why are you reacting so strongly?"

She nudged Jiang Ye's arm.

"Don't worry, my dad is a policeman, he's very capable."

Jiang Ye didn't speak, but his breathing became heavier and heavier.

Deep in my memory, a vague surname and a fleeting profile in a television news report seem... seem to be emerging.

surname……

What was her last name again?

"Hey, Jiang Ye? Don't crash!"

Ji Xiaoxiao held up her ice cream cone and looked at Jiang Ye, who was holding his head and frowning, and felt a little uneasy.

That's an overreaction.

She was just guessing that her father was going to be an undercover agent, but why was he acting like he was going to the battlefield himself?

Is it a headache?

But why did I suddenly get a headache?

Just as Ji Xiaoxiao thought Jiang Ye was about to go mad and anxiously wanted to call Hao Mei, he suddenly gasped, and his tense muscles instantly relaxed.

Jiang Ye stared wide-eyed.

I remember now!

A name, like a brand etched deep into the soul, finally emerges from the murky sea of ​​memory.

Wang Zongyan.

Wang Zongyan, Deputy Director of Jiangcheng Public Security Bureau!

In his previous life, although Ji Yue died, he still managed to uncover this person after his death, causing a major upheaval within the police force.

The news report did not explicitly state that this Deputy Director Wang was placed under investigation for "serious violations of discipline and law."

What Jiang Ye saw on TV was his profile, pale and disheveled, as he was being escorted into a car by two disciplinary inspectors while wearing handcuffs.

However, when he saw the news, it was before he learned of Ji Yue's death. At that time, he was preparing for the college entrance examination and was so busy that he was suffering from severe sleep deprivation, so he didn't pay much attention to the matter.

That's why I can't remember it now.

It was him.

This venomous snake hidden within the police force is the root cause of Ji Yue's mission failure and ultimate sacrifice!

Jiang Ye let out a long breath.

It's good that you remembered.

The rest is easy.

He relaxed and said to Ji Xiaoxiao, "I'm fine, I just suddenly have a bit of a headache."

But then he saw that Ji Xiaoxiao's eyes were red and she suddenly hugged him.

"Waaaaah... You scared me to death! What did you do, suddenly acting like that! Waaaaah..."

The ice cream in the girl's hand melted and stuck to the clothes on his back. Jiang Ye gasped and could only try to calm the girl down first.

"I'm fine, don't scare yourself."

"You go back first, I want to get some sleep."

At this moment, Ji Xiaoxiao appeared extremely obedient. Seeing that Jiang Ye's expression was indeed wrong, she quickly got up, not caring at all about the melted ice cream sticking to her hands.

"Well... I'll be going now. You get some rest."

"Um."

The security door was closed, obscuring Ji Xiaoxiao's worried face.

Jiang Ye was suddenly left alone in the living room.

All the expressions on his face vanished in an instant, replaced by a coldness and decisiveness completely out of character for his age.

"System, claim your mission reward."

Top-tier hacking techniques (valid for three days) have been distributed.

The moment the words left his mouth, Jiang Ye's mind seemed to be flooded with an endless torrent of data.

Countless codes, protocols, network architectures, firewall logic, cryptographic principles... these things that were originally like heavenly books now seemed like his innate instincts.

He felt that he was not "learning" this knowledge, but rather "awakening" it.

He can "see" the Wi-Fi signals flowing in the air and "sense" the faint data fluctuations emitted by each electronic device when it is running.

In his eyes, the whole world had become a giant spider web made up of countless nodes and lines.

And he is the spider at the center of this web.

He only had three days to complete the task, so he had to hurry.

Jiang Ye thought for a moment, then immediately ran to Jiang Chengcai's room, rummaged through drawers and cabinets to find his ID card, and left with a USB drive in his pocket, a hat and a mask on his head.

On the way, I bought a pair of height-increasing insoles and put them under my feet, successfully increasing my height to 1.7 meters.

I took a bus to an illegal internet cafe in the suburbs.

Do you have any private rooms?

The young man at the front desk, sporting a head of dyed blond hair, glanced at him but didn't seem to care about the man's mysterious appearance. He casually said, "We only have double rooms here. You can use it alone if you want. It's eight yuan an hour, or fifteen yuan for the whole night."

Jiang Ye took out Jiang Chengcai's ID card and said, "Let's start with two hours."

Alright.
