Squid Who Loves Diving

Chapter 774 Action

Jiang Baimian's gaze was fixed on Xi Yu's face, trying to see if there was any trace of a joke.

After all, if the two sides became trusted companions, comrades-in-arms who lived and died together, and members of the same small organization, it was entirely possible to prank and joke with each other.

Xi Yu's expression was solemn, and there was no hint of a smile hidden in the corners of her eyes or the sides of her mouth.

She seemed to genuinely revere the Year Holder "Siming."

The dream that Xiao Hong and Xiao Bai had was real… The information that the other force passed to us, although containing a certain degree of fallacy, was essentially correct… Minister Xi Yu is indeed a believer of "Siming," but does not belong to the "Rite of Life" cult… Mei Shouan should be the same… Thoughts raced through Jiang Baimian's mind, forcing herself to calm down.

Shang Jianyao's expression showed no change, and no one knew if he had switched personalities.

He asked curiously:

"Minister Xi Yu, which sect do you belong to?"

"No sect." Xi Yu smiled and shook her head, "Believing in 'Siming' does not require going through a sect."

Shang Jianyao pressed on:

"Then who made you start believing in the Year Holder 'Siming'?"

Xi Yu picked up a celadon ceramic teacup and took a gentle sip:

"It was Director Su."

As expected… Although Jiang Baimian had already guessed, hearing this answer still stirred up a storm in her heart.

The company's problems are very serious!

A director of the board of directors is secretly believing in a Year Holder!

"Oh, oh." Shang Jianyao looked enlightened, "Besides Director Su, do other directors also believe in the 'Siming' Year Holder?"

"I'm not sure." Xi Yu shook her head gently.

Shang Jianyao then asked: "Then what do you think of the 'Rite of Life' cult?"

Xi Yu replied with a serious face:

"They are too reckless and presumptuous. I can understand their reverence for 'Siming,' but their behavior is too excessive. Just like you said, they should have gone astray and misread the scriptures."

Uh, not so extreme… there is still room for redemption… Jiang Baimian began to think about what to do next:

Shang Jianyao's "Thought Implantation," in the absence of counter-examples or opportunities, can exist for a long time, but the two of them cannot always follow Xi Yu, closely monitoring the information she receives and giving timely corrections.

Therefore, how long it will take for Xi Yu to get rid of the influence and discover the problem after the two leave is completely uncontrollable—if she is lucky, Xi Yu will be able to go to and from work normally for the next few days and not feel anything unusual; if she is unlucky, Su Yu might call and talk to Xi Yu about certain things, which could suddenly awaken her.

Based on this reason, Jiang Baimian felt that she and Shang Jianyao had to seize the window of opportunity to do something.

In a flash of lightning, she had two plans:

One was to use Xi Yu's computer and account to send an email about this matter to all the directors, without knowing which directors on the board of directors also had problems;

The second was to find a way to see the big boss at the very bottom and report this matter.

As a precaution, Jiang Baimian decided to carry out both plans simultaneously:

With Xi Yu temporarily on their side, they would obtain permission through her to enter the management floor and use the security channel there to go to the very bottom;

At the same time, they would set a timer for sending the email, so as not to let the problematic directors know about the situation too early and send people to intercept the two of them at several entrances to the very bottom in advance.

And if the timing was well-grasped, the mass email would cause confusion, and Jiang Baimian felt that she and Shang Jianyao's actions to enter the very bottom would be much easier.

Time waits for no one, and Jiang Baimian did what she thought of.

She smiled and looked at Xi Yu:

"Minister, can I use your computer?"

"Yes." The current Xi Yu didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Seeing Jiang Baimian walking towards Xi Yu's desk, Shang Jianyao jumped up:

"I'll help!"

He crowded next to Jiang Baimian, occupying the spot and preventing Xi Yu from coming over to check the situation.

Pa pa pa, Jiang Baimian typed quickly, writing her plan in a document so that Shang Jianyao could see it.

"Mm-hmm." Shang Jianyao nodded frequently, with an expression of admiration.

Not knowing what he was acting, Jiang Baimian deleted the plan she had just written and stated that Xi Yu and Su Yu were believers of the Year Holder "Siming," and that Mei Shouan was suspected of being involved.

Then, she opened the email system, logged in with Xi Yu's default account, and created a new email, targeting all the directors of the board.

After copying and pasting the content, Jiang Baimian chose to send the email in fifteen minutes.

At this time, Shang Jianyao had already further persuaded Xi Yu according to the plan, telling her not to touch the computer for half an hour and to allow the two of them to go to the management area, which was the fifth floor of the underground building, to secretly seek an audience with Director Su.

Although Xi Yu's office was on the 646th floor, she often had to go to the fifth floor for meetings, and her rank was high enough, and she was Su Yu's confidant, so there was no difficulty in agreeing to Shang Jianyao's request, and she casually found a reason to call and get the corresponding permission for them.

Leaving her office, Jiang Baimian breathed a long sigh of relief.

She and Shang Jianyao looked at each other, and neither of them spoke, heading straight for the elevator room that could take them to the management area.

On the way, Jiang Baimian habitually wanted to ask, "Do you think it's worth it to make such a decision and take such a risk? Do you regret it?" But she immediately remembered that the person next to her was Shang Jianyao, who was more radical, more adventurous, and more reckless than herself.

"Pangu Biology" is our home, no matter what, I must maintain its stability… Jiang Baimian said in her heart, and then pressed the number "5" on the opened elevator door.

While the elevator was descending, Jiang Baimian adjusted her mentality and smiled, saying to Shang Jianyao:

"Why aren't you talking?"

Shang Jianyao looked up at the surveillance camera inside the elevator:

"Some things are not suitable to be said in such a public place."

"What you said is very ambiguous." Jiang Baimian scolded with a smile.

She seemed very relaxed, as if she was really going to the management area to report on a certain job, and was familiar with the way.

After a while, the elevator arrived at the fifth floor, and the car door and the hall door opened at the same time.

After Shang Jianyao walked out, he looked at his watch on his wrist:

"Oh dear, we're too early!

"We can only squat in the corridor and wait."

At the elevator exit, guards wearing bionic intelligent armor looked over at the same time.

Although she couldn't see their expressions, Jiang Baimian could vaguely feel their resistance.

"How impolite!" She cooperated and scolded Shang Jianyao.

Shang Jianyao took the opportunity to sigh:

"Then let's go to the stairs and wait, so as not to offend anyone."

All of his words used "Thought Guidance," so the guards had no doubt about his and Jiang Baimian's behavior of turning into the security channel, thinking it was only natural.

Inside the brightly lit staircase, Jiang Baimian lowered her voice:

"There are surveillance cameras.

"I'll be responsible for pointing out the locations later, and you'll provide interference."

Shang Jianyao nodded, and his spirit spread out.

When it was time for the email to be sent, Jiang Baimian forced herself to wait patiently for another three minutes, so that the problem could ferment and create chaos.

As time passed, Jiang Baimian breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Action!"

Without any hesitation, she agilely went down the stairs, occasionally raising her right hand to point out the locations of the surveillance cameras to Shang Jianyao.

Shang Jianyao followed closely behind Jiang Baimian, interfering with the images of one surveillance camera after another, causing them to fall into a situation like a broken light bulb.

Such anomalies would inevitably attract the attention of the monitors, but the first thing they would think of was that there was a circuit failure and someone had to be sent to check it, and only then would they consider synchronously increasing the alert level in this area.

Jiang Baimian was betting on this time difference!

With their abilities, as long as they didn't encounter the highest level of alert, they had a chance to rush to the door of the big boss.

Deng deng deng, Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao had outstanding physical fitness, and they rushed down five floors of stairs in one go, quickly arriving at the staircase at the very bottom.

Suddenly, Jiang Baimian stopped in shock and blurted out:

"There's no one guarding outside."

This was simply unreasonable!

How could the alert level at the very bottom, where the big boss lived, be so lax?

In an instant, Jiang Baimian flashed some guesses:

Could it be that the big boss had already passed away and left no heir, and the directors were secretly keeping the news quiet, and had found someone who was good at imitating accents to hold the emperor to command the princes?

"I didn't sense anything either." Shang Jianyao confirmed that Jiang Baimian's discovery was correct.

Jiang Baimian thought for a moment and said decisively:

"We've already come here, we can only move forward, we can't retreat!"

She reached out her left hand and pushed open the door of the staircase.

There was indeed no one outside, no guards.

Leaving the staircase, the two came to a corridor, and saw that the place was covered with neat brown floor tiles, and the walls on both sides had murals, sculptures, and various decorations, which seemed very classical.

"The big boss has good taste." In such a tense situation, Shang Jianyao actually commented on the environment here.

Jiang Baimian glanced at this guy and started running forward in small steps.

She used her posture and movements to tell Shang Jianyao:

Stop talking about irrelevant things, quickly find the big boss's room!

Shang Jianyao also ran, but neither of them forgot to pay attention to the surrounding situation to guard against possible attacks.

Under the illumination of the rows of fluorescent lights on the ceiling, Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao quickly ran to the end of the corridor.

What appeared in front of them was a silver-white metal wall, with a door in the middle of the wall that slid open to the side, and sophisticated electronic equipment next to the door.

At this time, the door was not completely closed, revealing a dark, thick gap.

"Is the big boss's residence behind the door?" Jiang Baimian muttered to herself.

She cautiously approached, preparing to check it out.

Just then, Shang Jianyao reached out and stopped her.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Baimian thought Shang Jianyao would run faster and be more reckless than herself.

Shang Jianyao replied with a serious face:

"I think this door looks a little familiar.

"It should be the door in room '1215'."

"1215…" Jiang Baimian was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that this was the first room Shang Jianyao explored after entering the "Mind Corridor."

At that time, he encountered a slightly opened metal door in room "1215," suspected that the owner of the room had encountered extremely terrible things behind the door, thus leaving a serious psychological shadow, so he gave up exploring with an eight-to-two vote and left there.

After that, Shang Jianyao never encountered room "1215" again.

And now he was actually saying that the door in front of him, which was suspected to lead to the big boss's residence, was very similar to the door in room "1215"!
