"Is that Jing Xuan? I’ve got some good stuff for you. I’m sure you’ll be very satisfied with it. It’s useless in my hands anyway, hehehe—" Gao Liyuan's voice carried a playful tone.
Yang Jingxuan was momentarily stunned and instinctively asked,
"Sister Liyuan, what are you talking about?"
"It’s the documents from the computers in those gang hideouts you’ve been cleaning up."
"How did you get them?"
Yang Jingxuan asked foolishly, her heart pounding rapidly.
At this moment,
the young policewoman was incredibly nervous.
Gao Liyuan pouted and replied with a hint of complaint.
"Have you forgotten what I do for a living?"
"A hacker?"
"At least you still have some conscience. Calling me 'Sister Liyuan' makes me happy. I’ll give you all the documents."
"Thank you, Sister Liyuan! You’re my lucky star! You’re amazing!"
Yang Jingxuan wasn’t usually one to flatter others, but this time, Gao Liyuan had been a huge help.
So the young policewoman poured out every compliment she could think of.
Gao Liyuan waved it off, saying it was no big deal.
Soon,
Yang Jingxuan received five documents via WeChat on her phone.
They were even labeled with the names of the gang hideouts.
In fact, after learning the exact locations from Xu Mo’s thoughts,
that phone call Yang Jingxuan had with Xu Shi—
seemingly an offhand action—
had played a significant role.
Later, Xu Shi immediately contacted Gao Liyuan
and had Yang Jingxuan send over the locations of the five hideouts.
What followed was straightforward.
With precise locations in hand,
Gao Liyuan teamed up with Gao Liming, with a zero-to-five split.
She took zero, and Gao Liming took five.
Just kidding.
These trashy devices and lousy security software weren’t worth her time.
The hard work naturally fell to Gao Liming.
Even though the gang leaders had hired computer experts to reinforce their systems,
those so-called experts were still garbage in Gao Liyuan’s eyes.
"Captain Han,"
Yang Jingxuan couldn’t contain her excitement as she hurried over to the group.
At that moment, Han Fei and a few colleagues from the criminal investigation team were discussing matters.
Seeing Yang Jingxuan approach,
Han Fei stopped and flashed a bright smile.
"What’s up, Xiao Yang?"
Yang Jingxuan had just made a significant contribution,
helping Han Fei immensely.
So, of course, he greeted her with a smile.
Personal gratitude aside,
no matter what difficulties Yang Jingxuan encountered,
Han Fei would do his best to help.
"Here’s the thing—I’ve found the documents from the computers that were burned down,"
Yang Jingxuan got straight to the point.
Everyone was stunned.
"Officer Yang, you can’t just say things like that!"
"Holy crap! All the computers were completely destroyed, reduced to ashes. How did you find anything, Officer Yang?"
Han Fei frowned and scolded, "Quiet! Let Xiao Yang finish speaking first."
When he turned to Yang Jingxuan,
the forty-year-old captain of the criminal investigation team immediately softened his expression,
smiling warmly as he asked,
"Xiao Yang, could you explain the situation in more detail?"
Yang Jingxuan nodded.
The computers had been burned to a crisp.
There was no way to recover any documents from them.
So the only option was to hack into the devices before they were destroyed
and save the data.
Yang Jingxuan didn’t mention Gao Liyuan.
Something like this was already extraordinary.
It was necessary to report it to the police station for the record.
In less than an afternoon, someone had hacked into the electronic devices of five gang hideouts
and succeeded.
Was that even humanly possible?
Even if the most skilled professional team from their bureau were called in,
a dozen elite members might not be able to breach the hideouts’ defenses in an afternoon.
Sure, the personnel the authorities hired were top-notch,
but the gang members weren’t fools either.
When the two sides were evenly matched,
the defending side usually had a significant advantage over the attacking side.
The defenders could afford to make multiple mistakes,
while the attackers only needed to slip up once, get infected with a virus, and it was game over.
After hearing Yang Jingxuan’s explanation,
Han Fei and the other criminal investigators couldn’t hold back.
Their faces lit up with joy, their hearts racing, their hands trembling.
As the captain, Han Fei was also incredibly excited,
but he managed to maintain some composure.
No one asked about the hacker.
It was tacitly understood.
They turned a blind eye to it.
Yang Jingxuan didn’t waste any more time and forwarded all five documents to Han Fei.
Ding-dong—ding-dong—ding-dong—
A series of notification sounds rang out.
Han Fei’s breathing became rapid.
He instinctively swallowed hard.
He casually opened one of the documents to take a look.
Han Fei’s eyes were glued to his phone screen.
From the side, it was clear that his hand, tapping the screen, was trembling slightly.
The other criminal investigators also turned their attention to Han Fei.
At that moment, everyone held their breath, not daring to make a sound.
After a while,
Han Fei couldn’t contain himself any longer and started dancing around excitedly,
as if he had lost his mind.
"This is fantastic! This is fantastic! This is all evidence!!!"
Han Fei instinctively wanted to hug Yang Jingxuan tightly,
but given the difference in gender
and the fact that he was a married man,
while she was a young woman without a boyfriend,
it wouldn’t look good if word got out.
So Han Fei changed direction and hugged a nearby male criminal investigator instead.
The male officer was completely bewildered,
his face turning red.
Han Fei, as the captain, was usually very strict with them.
He had to be.
A single mistake during an arrest could cost lives.
After a moment of excitement,
Han Fei finally let go of his colleague.
"Xiao Yang, Comrade Xiao Yang! On behalf of the entire criminal investigation team, I thank you. Once again, you’ve made a huge contribution. I’ll help you apply for two first-class merits! No, I’ll do my best to get you a special-class merit!"
Han Fei spoke with genuine sincerity.
Yang Jingxuan was momentarily dazed.
A first-class merit and a special-class merit?
This was happening too fast.
It wasn’t that she hadn’t dreamed of earning such honors,
but they weren’t easy to come by.
They often came at great risk, with the constant possibility of losing one’s life.
In fact, Han Fei wasn’t exaggerating.
If it hadn’t been for Yang Jingxuan’s accurate intelligence,
it was hard to say how long these lawless criminals would have remained at large.
Moreover, obtaining reliable and precise intelligence was no easy task.
The manpower and resources required were beyond imagination.
There was also the constant worry about whether the enemy would find out and how to respond if they did.
Finally, there was the critical issue of the final operation.
The timing, location, and coordination had to be perfect.
Casualties were almost inevitable.
But with Yang Jingxuan’s intelligence,
they had turned the tables and crushed the enemy effortlessly.
Most importantly, there were no casualties.
That alone was enough.
Yang Jingxuan’s mouth hung open slightly, looking like a dazed girl next door.
This time, she didn’t resort to formalities.
After expressing her gratitude,
she walked away.
"Hehe—Xu Mo—Brother Mo, how much more are you hiding? I’ll have to try to pry more out of you sometime soon."
While everyone else was still basking in the joy of victory,
Yang Jingxuan, the second daughter of the Yang family, who had grown up fast in a wealthy household, was already planning the best time to strike again in her mind.
If the truth were known, a certain smirking dragon king would surely shed tears.
