Chapter 1179: Chapter 687: The Spy Bureau’s Pledge of Loyalty! (Part 3)

Iodophor ordered his subordinates to activate the backup power while he led a group to infiltrate the response department, rummaging through everything to find the necessary information.

The backup generator started, and the building was once again brightly lit.

Iodophor turned on the computer, only to discover that it couldn’t start up properly. It turned out that the plug-in hard drive at the back of the all-in-one computer had been destroyed.

What to do now?

Qing Chen whispered, "Iodophor, if you were in such a dire situation, what would you do?"

In the silhouette.

"No, we must find the relevant clues, we must complete Qing Chen’s orders," Iodophor said. "He’s still waiting for us!"

A Kunlun member said, "But there’s nothing here that he wants."

Iodophor: "Then find something that can replace it for him!"

Qing Chen whispered, "Yes, with your character, you wouldn’t retreat without completing the mission. You will definitely help me find new clues."

The silhouette before them, it was all Qing Chen’s guess based on clues.

If it were truly as he thought, Kunlun would definitely be looking for new clues, aiming to complete the task they were given, finding clues about the Rat King or Jindai Chika!

But where would Kunlun members search?

At this moment, Qing Chen said, "The Transportation Bureau, which automatically stores the traffic surveillance footage from the past three months as map analysis and vehicle analysis data, that’s where Kunlun has gone."

Only there could they find something that can be used as a substitute.

There was no surveillance in the Lower District Three, but there was in the other districts. Qing Chen only needed the surveillance from the other districts to observe the streets.

"However, the hard drives here have already been destroyed, and those at the Transportation Bureau might be the same," Qing Yi said. "If Jindai Chika is so meticulous, he wouldn’t miss that."

At this moment, Qing Yi suddenly noticed Qing Chen’s exhausted expression, with blood suddenly trickling from his nostrils—a result of brain overload!

"Sir!" Qing Yi said anxiously. "Are you alright? Shall we find a place to rest first?"

Qing Chen, however, ignored him. "Yes, what Kunlun can think of, Jindai Chika can certainly think of too. Kunlun will surely realize this, so where would they go?"

This was a race against time, a game where whoever thought of the winning move first would win.

Qing Chen looked at the ceiling, pondering where, beyond common perception, he could find the surveillance footage.

Nowhere else!

Only the Transportation Bureau was left!

Kunlun members should have retreated, but they chose to risk their lives, gambling that the opponent hadn’t had time to destroy it yet, so they had to desperately race against time to reach there before the enemy!

"Go, to the Transportation Bureau," Qing Chen said. "Regardless of the outcome, we must see for ourselves."

An hour after the team left, the army brought by the Rat King followed the scent to catch up, but it always seemed a step behind Qing Chen.

...

...

Countdown to return 10:02:09.

After leaving the PCE Headquarters Building, Qing Chen felt a wave of dizziness, fortunately Qing Yi caught him in time and pleaded, "Sir, you really need to rest. Otherwise, if we encounter a big battle at the Traffic Bureau Building, you’ll already be exhausted, and the Kunlun members will die just the same."

Qing Chen remained silent for two seconds, listening to the sounds around him, finally choosing the optimal solution: "Rest here for an hour."

Qing Yi was correct, no matter how urgent it felt, he had to ensure he had the ability to fight.

He sat down on the spot. "Don’t rest inside the building. Be cautious of the Rat King’s army surrounding the building. We’ll rest right here, and if we encounter the Rat King’s army, we’ll move."

Qing Chen then looked at the experts from the Spy Bureau in front of him. "Sorry, but I need you to charge into a deadly situation with me again. Actually, I can’t guarantee that you’ll come back alive, and I can’t even guarantee that I’ll be alive to return."

At this moment, a woman in special operations gear with a black headscarf pulled down her mask and smiled. "Boss, what are you saying? As members of the Spy Bureau, we’ve long put life and death aside. If Qing Ling can fight alongside you through life and death, why can’t we?"

Yan Chunmi, this was the Kite Falcon that Qing Chen first encountered.

This woman was a third-rate actress in the Federation, and a spy for the Spy Bureau, who was demoted by one level just because of Qing Chen’s arrival to serve as his Kite Falcon.

She initially intended to assess Qing Chen, to see if this new boss was qualified to become a boss.

But the new boss didn’t even plan to use the Spy Bureau, and instead sidelined them while causing a stir.

She had repeatedly sought out Shadow, hoping Shadow would speak to Qing Chen about using her more, arguing that she was very capable.

Yet Shadow always declined with a smile: "You haven’t even offered him your allegiance, how would he trust you? I’ve already told you, don’t play tricks, he’s very capable."

That moment’s proud expression on Shadow’s face had given Yan Chunmi some insight.

Now, Yan Chunmi rejoined Qing Chen, preparing to offer her loyalty.

Qing Chen smiled at her, "Oh, you’re here too? I’m so exhausted that I didn’t even recognize your footsteps."

Yan Chunmi smiled and shook her head. "Boss, it’s normal not to notice. I used to wear high heels, looked quite glamorous, and walked with a different sound."

"Speak plainly," Qing Chen said.

Yan Chunmi became serious, taking something from a tactical pocket on her outer thigh—a human ear. "Boss, this is Qing Wen’s right ear. At the start of the disaster, he wanted to leave for the Garrison Forces. I ambushed him halfway, and he’s dead. His ear is my gift to you, to make you the Chief of the Spy Bureau."
