Chapter 585: Chapter 585 First Detection Research Institute
This time, when Nian Shutong left, she did not bring the little white mouse, thinking her role was merely to send Fu Yunhe to school, and bringing the little white mouse would be of no use.
Even if the little white mouse discovered something valuable at the military school, she wouldn’t be able to lay a finger on it.
Nian Shutong looked around and decided that from now on, wherever she went, she would bring the little white mouse; otherwise, opportunities to rob the Chi Family like this would slip away right before her eyes.
Disguised as a servant, Nian Shutong continued to move around the inner courtyard.
She wanted to see which areas had more stringent security, perhaps there would be unexpected gains.
However, after a whole lap, she did not see any heavily guarded areas, then she suddenly remembered something, everyone had a Space Button.
"Forget it, let’s stick to the plan."
Servant Nian Shutong started heading towards the kitchen and, when passing by some wells, she casually threw something into them.
It was not exactly poison; she did not intend to immediately kill all the Chi Family members, as this plan was not so feasible.
Typically, major families have specific individuals who taste for poisons; scattering poison would only kill a few irrelevant people, a loss not worth the gain, unnecessary.
So, she scattered a slow-acting medicinal substance, not really a poison, which would only cause hair loss and incessant boils on the body, therefore, the testers wouldn’t detect any toxicity.
Upon reaching the kitchen, she scattered poison wherever possible.
Just as she was preparing to retreat, having accomplished her mission, a manager called out to her.
"You there, servant, come work."
Servant Nian Shutong, with her head bowed and eyes compliant, walked over, picked up a box on the ground, and followed the row of people ahead toward a certain place.
It was only when she reached the destination that she realized she had arrived at the Chi Family’s ancestral hall.
With the box as cover, Nian Shutong smiled a bit smugly; luck was really on her side, she had intended to come here.
Servant Nian Shutong, sneakily took a glance, the entire ancestral hall had no robots, just these servants slowly tidying and cleaning, probably as a form of respect to the ancestors.
She opened the box she was carrying, which contained some incense sticks, presumably for use in ancestor worship the next day.
Nian Shutong, holding the box, joined the others in placing these incense sticks at designated spots. While bending down, she saw a giant incense stick, likely the most important one for the ancestral rites that day.
Nian Shutong left a trace of her Divine Sense attached to this pillar of incense, cast a small magic, and left satisfied.
It was somewhat regretful... she really wanted to witness the ancestral rites that day.
The servants delivering items all exited the ancestral hall and were assigned other tasks. Meanwhile, Nian Shutong, not yet having received any news from Fu Yunhe, simply continued to blend in with the servants.
On the other side, upon receiving a message from Nian Shutong, Fu Yunhe began his actions.
While standing at attention, Fu Yunhe remained completely still, but his mental power within his mind was exceptionally active, controlling the Light Computer and gathering information on the Star Network.
The Chi Family mentioned five households...
The most reliable testing agency in the interstellar...
However, Fu Yunhe found no link between the Chi Family and any testing agencies after digging around the Star Network.
They really hid it deep.
Yet, the deeds done always leave some traces; the agency that seems to have no link is the one most deeply involved.
Fu Yunhe organized the information and sent it all to Nian Shutong, adding his own analysis at the end.
"Fu Yunhe!"
"Present!"
Previously distracted, Fu Yunhe instinctively responded, attracting a suspicious look from the instructor.
He reacted quite fast, but why did he feel that this boy’s mind was elsewhere?
The instructor withdrew his gaze, no longer staring at Fu Yunhe, after all, there seemed to be nothing amiss about this person’s appearance.
Fu Yunhe looked at the successfully sent file and started to worry again.
How did Nian Shutong know about the Chi Family? It couldn’t be the Star Network, as the details were known so clearly step by step, there seemed to be only one possibility.
She was in the Chi Family.
Coming to this conclusion, Fu Yunhe asked one more question, "Are you in the Chi Family?"
Right after he sent it, a message reply came from the other side.
Nian Shutong: "Study hard; aim high, everything is under control."
What could Fu Yunhe do upon seeing this message? With Nian Shutong’s enigmatic abilities, he had no choice but to trust.
Nian Shutong, having received the materials, immediately decided to leave the Chi Family, wanting to go in person to this most authoritative detection institution for a look.
The timing was just right. She changed from being a servant in the inner court to a temporary worker fetching water.
The woman managing the workers was calling everyone to leave. She caught sight of the temporary worker, Nian Shutong, and, unable to contain her anger, forcefully pulled her aside.
"Did you go to another planet to fetch water?"
"Let me tell you, there’s no place for you in the temporary work after this."
"Whose family are you from?"
The woman’s interrogation only made the temporary worker, Nian Shutong, shake and shiver. She whimpered without a sound, as if she was reluctant to reveal her own name, fearing she would lose her job.
The middle-aged woman, somewhat wary as this was the Chi Family, forcefully pulled the temporary worker, Nian Shutong, out of the Chi Family’s gate, and harshly said, "Go back by yourself!"
The middle-aged woman was the last one to get on the flying device, completely ignoring the temporary worker, Nian Shutong, who wanted to board. She forcefully closed the hatch, and the flying device left the Chi Family.
Dare to oppose me? Today, I’ll teach you a lesson.
The middle-aged woman, looking out the window of the flying device, peered down.
Well, where is the person?
Where is the person who was sobbing just now?
At that moment, Nian Shutong had already changed her appearance and, riding her Shadowless, disappeared into the sky.
On the Shadowless, she activated the navigation and went directly near the detection institution. She got down from her Shadowless, secured it, and repeatedly surveyed the opposite large building.
"First Detection Research Institute."
These words hung on the rooftop of a several-story-high building, and at the ground floor entrance, there was a constant stream of people continuously entering and exiting the building.
But Nian Shutong saw that all these people entering had swiped a card, probably some sort of pass.
The problem arose again. How was she supposed to get inside? She could indeed phase through walls, but would a research institute have no protective measures? Accidentally triggering an alarm would be bad.
After getting inside, where should she look for the Chi Family’s information?
According to Fu Yunhe’s analysis, this First Research Institute should be backed by the Chi Family, because anyone who opposed the Chi Family always seemed to have the shadow of the First Detection behind them.
Every time, as soon as the detection report came out, the standing of the Chi Family soared while their opponents fell dramatically, reduced to dust.
It could be said that this institute, with its own power, had pushed the Chi Family to its current status.
"Hey, why is Old Zheng free to come out today?"
"A new batch of donated bodies arrived; I came out to receive them."
