Yang Yi was in a hurry and needed Huo Yao’s help desperately, but he could only wait.
Miss Huo was genuinely far better at hacking than him.
[In that case, I will wait for you to call me when you can.] Before long, Yang Yi replied to her text message.
After sending the text message, Yang Yi put away his phone and continued looking at the laptop sitting on his lap. There was a document on the desktop. He had tried countless methods but had no success unlocking the file.
Zhuo Yun turned to look at Yang Yi after Yang Yi was done with the call. “Is Miss Huo free?”
“Nope.” Yang Yi continued working on the laptop as he spoke. “She said she will be free in 20 minutes.”
Zhuo Yun rubbed his forehead and said, “Fine. In that case, you should continue trying while you wait.”
Yang Yi’s fingers froze the instant he heard this.
Zhuo Yun leaned against the couch armrest while he looked at Yang Yi’s laptop.
Yang Yi went speechless.
“Can you get out of my sight, please?” Yang Yi was almost losing his mind, so he gritted his teeth and said so.
Zhuo Yun glanced at Yang Yi. “I didn’t know you were cockeyed.”
Yang Yi was not skilled enough to unlock the file. Could he still blame Zhuo Yun?
Yang Yi inhaled deeply. He kept telling himself not to go down to Zhuo Yun’s level and get angry.
Meanwhile, Min Yu came in from outside. He was still dressed in camouflage gear and his aura was simply imposing.
Zhuo Yun straightened his body and greeted Min Yu reverently when he came over. “Hi, Yu.”
Yang Yi also stood up with his laptop in his hands and nodded to Min Yu.
“Who is in charge of the weapons for Country M?” asked Min Yu mildly as he took off his cap.
Zhuo Yun and Yang Yi automatically glanced at each other. Before long, Yang Yi stepped forward.
Min Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at Yang Yi. “Didn’t I tell you not to accept any orders from Europe?”
Yang Yi immediately started to tremble. Even though his boss sounded completely normal, he had detected a dangerous tone in his voice, so he hurriedly answered. “I made a mistake and failed to detect their ruse.”
Zhuo Yun also felt really tense. He hurriedly spoke up for Yang Yi in a soft tone. “It’s not his fault. We didn’t expect the Europeans to cunningly use a third party to purchase the weapons. We investigated the buyer when the order was sent. It was someone powerful from Country M, so we…”
Before Zhuo Yun could finish explaining, Yang Yi kicked him and gestured for him to shut up.
Min Yu sat on the couch and leaned into the backrest lazily with a cold look on his face. “Were you fooled simply because the order came from someone powerful?”
Zhuo Yun blushed crimson. He parted his lips and said nervously, “I…”
“It was my fault,” said Yang Yi deeply with his head lowered.
Min Yu rubbed his forehead gently without speaking for a long time as he pondered deeply. The entire hall fell into a strange silence instantly. Moments later, he put down his hand and asked. “Where are the weapons now?”
“The government confiscated the consignment before it left the border,” answered Yang Yi.
Min Yu narrowed his eyes and said unhurriedly, “Who is the officer in charge?”
The moment Min Yu brought this up, Yang Yi smiled sadly. “It’s Deputy Director Zhang.”
Zhang Qing and Min Jian were both working for the Ministry of National Security. One of them was the deputy director while the other was the director.
“Why him?” Min Yu frowned.
“We didn’t expect Zhang Qing to confiscate the weapons either. Also, he confiscated them on grounds of illegal weapon sales,” said Zhuo Yun.
