"What do you want me to do? Hurry up and tell me." Gu Feng raised his wrist and looked at his watch. It was already past six o'clock. He would have to go to school soon, and he really didn't have time to waste with her any longer.

"Come with me." The queen bee got up and walked outside.

Gu Feng had no choice but to follow. The two entered an office filled with various pieces of equipment and several LCD computers.

The queen bee pulled out a chair, sat down, and asked, "Do you know how to use the internet?"

"No." Gu Feng replied without hesitation.

"Do you know what the internet is?" the queen bee asked patiently again.

"I don't know." Gu Feng replied without even thinking.

"Then what do you know?" the queen bee snapped again.

"You don't know anything." Gu Feng was also getting angry because this woman kept asking useless questions, all of which were things he didn't know.

The queen bee sighed helplessly and gave him a brief introduction. Then, without waiting for him to understand or not, she clicked on a webpage and began to speak on her own:

"This is a forum with little popularity, low click-through rate, and very few posts and replies. It wasn't originally within our monitoring scope. We only noticed it after we received a tip-off. Upon investigation, we discovered that the server was located overseas."

"Looking further down, the posts on this forum are all very strange. The titles are just a few over and over again—'Seeking a sugar daddy,' 'Seeking the truth,' 'Seeking a solution,' 'Seeking a fulfillment,' but there are hidden files in the posts."

"At first, we thought we needed to register as a member to view it, so we created an ID and even recharged our account. But we still couldn't view it. After checking carefully, we found that the post required extremely high privileges, and ordinary members couldn't level up by accumulating points or recharging their accounts."

"So we used technical means to crack the post. The result was unexpected. The content was very simple, just a date, a time, and a contact method, such as an email address, QQ number, MSN, or something like that. But when we tried to contact these people, they all disappeared without a trace, and not a single one responded."

"We were puzzled. Was it just a prank? We went back to verify the source of the clues and found that the information was reliable. So we started to check the registration IPs of these contact methods, and the results were even more astonishing—the IPs came from all over the world. Even after excluding proxy registrations, the result was the same."

"Moreover, these accounts were only used once from registration to login, and then never used again. When we cracked the passwords for these chat tools or emails and logged in, they were completely empty—chat history, emails, contacts—there was no trace whatsoever. The investigation stalled just like that."

"However, if it were just something purely sexual, we wouldn't interfere. But this is too bizarre, and we must rule out the possibility that it threatens national security. Although it's extremely difficult to investigate, we haven't given up."

"This case has dragged on for a long time with no progress. We don't dare to forcibly shut down the forum, since it's the only lead we have; if we close it, the connection will be severed."

"Two or three years passed, and then a case was transferred from a lower-level unit, which finally led to a major breakthrough."

"That was a murder-for-hire case. The criminal paid a hitman to kill his wife so he could seize all his assets. And the way he found the hitman was something no ordinary person would ever think of—he posted on this forum."

"Based on his confession, we finally understood the true meaning of these posts. 'Seeking a sugar daddy' meant hiring a hitman, 'Seeking the truth' meant checking the progress of a transaction, and so on."

"Now we finally know that this forum was actually a contact point for an 'international assassin alliance.' So we followed the trail and traced the bank account provided by the criminals, and found that it was an overseas account opened in Thailand."

"We rushed to Thailand immediately and, with the help of the local police, located the bank where the account was opened and retrieved the account holder's information. The result was astonishing: he was just an ordinary farmer who had been dead for over a year. The account hadn't been closed and was still being used. We then investigated everything about this farmer before his death, but found nothing."

"Just then, the Thai police assisting in the case discovered that the money hadn't stayed in the account for long before it was transferred to another country and to another person. We quickly tracked down the account holder, only to find that the account holder had also mysteriously disappeared for several years."

"Then, the money started circulating again, like it was deliberately playing hide-and-seek with us, going around in circles all over the world. When it finally stopped, the transaction fees alone accounted for 10% of the total amount. What's most infuriating is that in the end, the money ended up in a so-called anonymous secret account in a Swiss bank."

"As everyone knows, Swiss banks have the best security measures, and it's not something anyone can just look into. Even we, or even Interpol, find it very difficult to interfere with the bank's internal operations, and obtaining an investigation warrant is practically impossible. The investigation has once again reached a stalemate, and our nearly six-month-long global roaming is about to go to waste. It's like we've been played for a fool."

"My group is called 'Wolf Eyes,' which means we need to have the ruthlessness and perseverance of wolves, never giving up until we achieve our goal. Since they openly forbid us from investigating, we'll investigate secretly. After exhausting all means—infiltration, theft, decryption—we finally obtained the account's information with great difficulty."

"It turns out that Swiss banks don't have anonymous accounts at all. Banks follow the 'Know Your Customer' principle and must verify the identity and financial legitimacy of each account holder."

"To control criminal funds, banks have strict, internationally recognized identity verification regulations. The so-called anonymity is a complete exaggeration from detective novels, Hollywood movies, and the media. In fact, the names of some account holders are even publicly known within a very small circle of bank employees."

"Following the account holder's information, we finally pieced together some information..."

The queen bee talked for a long time, then turned around and was so angry she almost picked up her computer and smashed it at Gu Feng. Because the guy sitting behind her had fallen asleep sometime earlier.
