We, our group, went directly across the lawn and sneaked to the entrance of the main building. Just as I was thinking of a way to break in without leaving a trace, Old Ba gave a light push, and the large glass door was unlocked. The lobby inside was empty. I surveyed the area, but found no cameras. On the blank walls, some company profiles were posted, all in Japanese, which I didn't understand well. Anyway, there was no Cang Jing Kong. It seemed the company was mainly engaged in the trading of mechanical products.
There were eight people in this main building, on the second and third floors. No one on the first or fourth floors. I told Ya Nan and Old Ba to go to the third floor, and I took the fox spirit to the second floor myself. From the corridor, I could see the light from the glass doors of the office rooms, making it easy to find them. However, they were in two directions, left and right.
I made a gesture, signaling the fox spirit to go to the left and me to the right. But the fox spirit shook her head, signaling to come with me, worried that I couldn't handle it alone.
Fine, a protective act, understandable.
The fox spirit and I tiptoed to the brightly lit room on the right. Using the Qi Sensing technique, I observed that there was only one person inside, sitting by the window, possibly operating a computer.
I gestured, indicating there was only one inside and that I could handle it myself. The fox spirit took a dagger from her pocket and handed it to me.
I took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" A voice of a Yanxia girl, then the sound of high heels clicking in the room.
The door opened, and a pretty woman looked at me and the human-shaped fox spirit with confusion, "Who are you two looking for?"
I looked at the name tag on her uniform, which had her position and name written in both Yanxia and Japanese.
"Hello, Section Chief Li. I'm so sorry to disturb you late at night. We are from the Mohe Group." I respectfully framed others. From the intelligence obtained earlier, the Mohe Group had been in close contact with Cang Jing Corporation recently, with many transaction records. I estimated that Section Chief Li Xiao Jing of this "Trade Section" should know the meaning of the name Mohe.
Indeed, upon hearing my introduction, Li Xiao Jing smiled slightly, "Please come in."
I followed her into the room, and as she turned, I immediately held the dagger to her throat and covered her mouth, "Don't move! Don't make a sound! Otherwise, I'll cut your carotid artery, understand?"
Li Xiao Jing, held in my arms, trembled slightly but nodded calmly.
"Kun Kun, tie her up," I said, turning my head.
"…Do we need to go through so much trouble? It's a matter of one move." The fox spirit frowned and made a "neck twist" gesture.
"Don't kill anyone unless it's absolutely necessary," I said.
The fox spirit was helpless. She rummaged around for a while, couldn't find anything suitable, so she went to Li Xiao Jing and smiled enchantingly, "Beauty, excuse me!"
Then, the fox spirit took off Li Xiao Jing's black stockings and tied her hands and feet to the chair, stuffing a large wad of tissues into her mouth.
"Done. Want to knock her out?" the fox spirit asked.
I shook my head, squatted in front of Li Xiao Jing, and pressed the tip of the dagger against her cheek, whispering, "I ask, you answer. If you don't cooperate, your face will be ruined, understand?"
I had already said that I wouldn't kill her, so I was worried she might be emboldened and not cooperate, which is why I proposed the threat of disfiguring her face. Women, especially beautiful ones like her, sometimes cared more about their appearance than their lives.
Li Xiao Jing glanced at the dagger tip and nodded repeatedly.
"Are all the antiques your company acquired sent to Japan?" I asked.
Li Xiao Jing nodded, then shook her head, as if she had something to say. I pulled out the paper from her mouth. Li Xiao Jing moved her jaw and said softly, "Some are shipped to Japan, and some are sold to other companies in southern Yanxia."
"For example, Chi You Group?" I asked.
"...Yes."
"Second question," I lit a cigarette unhurriedly, "Where are all the antiques your company acquired hidden?"
"This..." It involved core secrets, and Li Xiao Jing hesitated.
"If you don't tell me, I'll know," I said, pointing to the floor, "The third basement level, right?"
"...Yes. Since you already know, why do you still ask me?" Li Xiao Jing asked curiously.
"Because I want to make you useful and give myself an excuse not to disfigure your face," I said grimly.
Li Xiao Jing, scared, voluntarily said, "Then ask me again, ask me one more question, and I definitely won't hesitate!"
Before she could react, I immediately asked, "How to enter the underground space!"
"The key is with President Cang Jing."
"Where is President Cang Jing?"
"In office 301!"
"Thanks." I withdrew the knife and gave the fox spirit a look. The fox spirit moved behind Li Xiao Jing and struck her nape with a palm…
