The love story of a wealthy family amid anti-fraud storm at the border

On the border night, the hazy moonlight casts a veil of mystery over Datuk's estate.

Today is a special day.

Yi Chen and Ye Qiuyun were dressed in gorgeous clothes, blending into the lively crowd at the party. They seemed relaxed and happy, but they were actually nervous inside.

Because three days ago, the two of them received a task from the command center to obtain all the information about Dato's financial transactions with mining partners as soon as possible.

Today's gathering is the best time for the two to take action.

At this moment, Yi Chen's gaze seemed casual, but in fact he was paying attention to everything around him.

Ye Qiuyun chatted and laughed with other guests in a high-profile manner, interacting with them and creating all kinds of cover for their actions.

Suddenly, the news announced by Datuk caught the two off guard.

"Today, I am here to announce a piece of good news. That is the engagement ceremony of my daughter Leah and my most trusted assistant Yi Chen!"

The two looked at each other, wondering what to do.

But they quickly adjusted themselves because Pakun was watching their every move intently.

"Captain Chen, look at Pakun..." Ye Qiuyun reminded Yi Chen.

"Yes, I saw it. We must remain calm. They are testing us. Don't reveal any flaws!"

Yi Chen patted Ye Qiuyun's shoulder calmly, with encouragement and a hint of comfort.

"I understand!" Although Ye Qiuyun knew that this was just a delaying tactic to take advantage of the situation.

However, she seemed to feel happy in her heart.

She had never had such a close relationship with Yi Chen, even if it was just a casual affair.

Today, Datuk and his son put on this show for her.

She recalled what Datuk had asked her a few days ago, and then she suddenly understood.

After receiving the task from the command center that day, Ye Qiuyun took advantage of the opportunity to steal intelligence while chatting with Datuk in his study.

"Liya, you're twenty-six this year, right? It's time to get married!"

Datuk's words shocked Ye Qiuyun.

Finished, get married? Don't do this, mission not completed, get a criminal as husband?

Fate would never play such a joke on her!

"Old man, are you tired of me? I'm in the camp all day, and you, brother, and Yichen are the only ones I'm close to. Who do you want me to marry?"

Ye Qiuyun explained hurriedly.

"Oh, you're right. Who can you marry..." Datuk's words immediately made Ye Qiuyun feel confused.

"Old man, what are you up to? If you dare to sell me out, I'll set your backyard on fire and sell all your concubines to South Africa for diamonds."

"No, no, I'll do it, don't worry!" Datuk laughed loudly.

At this moment, Ye Qiuyun's thoughts were drawn back to the party.

The guests congratulated each other and then danced and drank. Datuk and Pakun were taken away by the leaders of several other small organizations to reminisce about the past.

While everyone's attention was distracted, Yi Chen and Ye Qiuyun felt that the time had come.

The two of them left the party hall one after another without making a sound.

The corridor leading to the study was dimly lit and so quiet that only their light footsteps could be heard, forming a sharp contrast with the lively party scene.

Yi Chen walked in front, and Ye Qiuyun followed closely behind, carefully sneaking into the Datuk's study.

Yi Chen approached the study door and listened carefully to the movements inside. After making sure there was no sound, he winked at Ye Qiuyun.

Ye Qiuyun understood what he meant and used an infrared flashlight to illuminate the password of the fingerprint door.

She then put the finger sleeve that had taken away Datuk’s fingerprints on her finger and passed the fingerprint identification.

Finally, at the moment of entering the password, their hearts seemed to stop beating.

Until finally, the slight "click" of the door lock seemed particularly loud in the silence, and the nerves of both of them were instantly stretched to the extreme.

The door slowly opened, Yi Chen walked in sideways first, Ye Qiuyun followed closely behind him and gently closed the door.

Although he often came into the study when Datuk was present.

But today, when the two of them sneaked in alone, they felt an unusual sense of oppression.

The study is still filled with the old smell of books.

Yi Chen's eyes quickly swept across every corner of the room.

His eyes were sharp and focused, not missing any place where clues might be hidden.

Ye Qiuyun went straight to the bookshelf that she was most familiar with, and gently ran her fingers over each book, trying to recall the different placement of the books compared to what she saw every day.

At the same time, his eyes were searching sharply for any unusual signs.

Yi Chen walked to the desk, put on gloves, and carefully opened the drawer.

The documents and items in the drawers were neatly arranged, but he could see at a glance that these were just superficial disguises.

He searched carefully, hoping to find key information.

At the same time, Ye Qiuyun found a suspicious book on the bookshelf.

She pulled it out gently and found a blank note inside the book.

Shining it towards the light, Ye Qiuyun could vaguely see the symbols and numbers on it.

This made her heart beat faster again.

Isn’t this the information that Datuk recorded after he made the phone call that day?

"Captain Chen, look at this." Ye Qiuyun said in a low voice.

Yi Chen walked over quickly, took the note, and frowned.

"This may be the key we are looking for." Yi Chen said in a low voice.

Without saying a word, Ye Qiuyun planned to copy the information above with a pencil beside him, but was stopped in time by Yi Chen.

Because there is only one note like this here, which is too abnormal.

Then, Yi Chen took out the microcomputer he carried with him and quickly scanned the mark on the note.

Then, he asked Ye Qiuyun to put the note back to its original place intact.

And make sure it is placed exactly the same way as before, then you can feel at ease.

Just then, the sound of slow footsteps was heard outside the door.

Their eyes met, and they reached a tacit understanding in an instant, and quickly hid in the mezzanine behind the bookshelf.

The mezzanine space was small and their bodies were pressed tightly together in the darkness.

Yi Chen could feel Ye Qiuyun's nervous breathing, and Ye Qiuyun could also hear Yi Chen's strong heartbeat.

Ye Qiuyun only felt that his face was red and a little hot at the moment.

As the footsteps outside the corridor got closer, they stopped at the study door.

The door was gently pushed open, and a figure appeared at the door.

Yi Chen and Ye Qiuyun held their breath and dared not make a sound.

It was Dato's butler who came in, put a document on the desk, and then turned and left.

Yi Chen keenly felt that when the butler walked out of the study, his footsteps seemed to pause for a second.

When the study door closed again, they continued to wait in the dark mezzanine for a while, and only walked out cautiously after making sure there was no movement outside.

Yi Chen signaled Ye Qiuyun to speed up, as the housekeeper might have discovered the situation and turned back again.

By then, it will be bad!

Ye Qiuyun understood what he meant and continued looking for clues around the desk.

Suddenly, Yi Chen discovered that the color of a piece of floor in the corner of the study was different from the surrounding area.

He squatted down and tapped lightly with his hand, and heard a hollow sound.

"There's a problem here." Yi Chen said in a low voice.

Ye Qiuyun hurried over to help.

Yi Chen adjusted his gestures, pressed the floor tile, and then an invisible secret compartment popped out.

There were some documents and a USB flash drive in the secret compartment.

Yi Chen quickly pulled out his microcomputer and began copying the data from the USB drive, while Ye Qiuyun quickly flipped through the files, taking photos of important content with his micro camera.

Just as they were working hard, footsteps were heard outside the door again.

This time, the footsteps were more rapid, and there was more than one person.
