Chapter 1521: Chapter 1511: Fishing Circle

Jiang Cheng and Mole sent off the diplomats and went up to the hotel room. Upon entering the room, the lavish decor was quite impressive, truly worthy of Capital City’s best hotel. Inside the room, Mole stared blankly at Jiang Cheng. "What’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?" Jiang Cheng asked curiously. "It’s nothing, just feels like a dream. Just a few days ago, I was infiltrating the West District’s network system, crippling it, and today I’m actually the head of the West District’s security team... It’s hard to believe." Mole said slowly.

Keke." Jiang Cheng listened to Mole’s words and simply smiled sheepishly without saying anything.

The atmosphere inside the room suddenly became awkward, with both sitting silently, neither initiating conversation.

Ou Shu, this is the fifty million compensation check just given to me by the West District’s office. I will transfer all this money to your name later. Find an opportunity to move this huge sum into the district; this is your mission." Jiang Cheng broke the silence and spoke to Mole.

"What? Why?" Mole was also taken aback. Fifty million dollars! He had never seen so much money in his life, and being tasked with transferring it was a lot of pressure.

"Don’t ask why, I won’t harm you. This is the task I’ve assigned to you — can you do it?" Jiang Cheng stared at Mole with seriousness. Mole felt a chill under Jiang Cheng’s gaze. "Alright, alright! I’ll definitely do it." Mole affirmed, eyes glued to Jiang Cheng.

"That’s good! Get it done as soon as possible." With that, Jiang Cheng turned his head to look out the window, and silence fell between them once again, plunging the room into endless quiet.

"Jiang, ... why did you agree to resign from being the head of Hua Family’s security team and come to be the head of the West District’s security team? Do you really intend to work for the West District’s office?" Mole hesitated for a moment before asking hesitantly. He couldn’t quite understand Jiang Cheng’s motives.

However, he knew Jiang Cheng well enough to know that his actions weren’t driven by profit or money; there had to be another reason.

Upon hearing Mole’s words, Jiang Cheng did not answer. He simply smiled at Mole and lay down on the bed, closing his eyes.

Mole, seeing Jiang Cheng choosing not to answer, knew better than to press further. "Jiang, I know your character — you would never stoop to doing anything evil. No matter what decisions you make, I, Mole, will stand by you, aiding you, forever."

Suddenly, Mole looked at Jiang Cheng and said seriously.

Jiang Cheng, who had been lying with his eyes closed, opened them upon hearing Mole’s words and sat up, facing the solemn Mole.

Jiang Cheng stood up and patted Mole’s shoulder. "Good that you understand me, good brother!" The bond between the two men didn’t require words to describe; only they themselves truly understood it.

The next day, West District Security Team.

Following two days of welcoming ceremonies and banquets, Jiang Cheng and Mole slowly became accustomed to the arrangement of the West District’s security system. Although everyone was aware of underlying caution, Jiang Cheng was now the big boss here — the one in charge. For Jiang Cheng, his subordinates were still quite respectful of him; after all, his illustrious deeds had been circulated within the team.

As the head of the security team, Jiang Cheng enjoyed some special privileges.

One afternoon, Jiang Cheng visited the security team’s intelligence department to oversee work. His subordinates were very respectful when they saw him. After touring the intelligence team, everyone gathered in the hall for a welcome dinner celebrating the new security team leader’s appointment.

"You all go ahead; I suddenly remembered something left at the team. I’ll go back to get it; you guys go on, I’ll come by myself later." Jiang Cheng spoke to the department head. Though he was the intelligence department head, he was still minor compared to Jiang Cheng, the district’s security team leader.

The head of the intelligence team had no choice but to leave with the others first. Arriving at the intelligence team, Jiang Cheng took out his infiltration seed and directly breached the intelligence team’s computer system through the physical mainframe, leaving no trace of discovery.

Spending nearly half an hour, Jiang Cheng extracted numerous classified intelligence secrets from the West District’s intelligence team, saved them into his storage device, and then hurriedly erased his infiltration traces before leaving the intelligence department.

Once at the banquet, though Jiang Cheng had just secretly stolen classified intelligence from the West District’s system, he showed no sign of unease. Throughout the dinner, he appeared entirely natural as if nothing had happened.

The banquet carried on until eight or nine in the evening, when everyone had eaten and drunk their fill and began to disperse. A slightly tipsy Jiang Cheng got into his private car with the help of others. Mole took responsibility for driving.

Once the car drove off, the previously drunken Jiang Cheng sat up straight. He pulled out his phone, quickly dialing a number.

"Hello, is this the president? I am Jiang Cheng, head of the security team. It’s like this, I just remembered that I have many important documents stored in Hua Family District. I want to head back tomorrow to retrieve those important papers; they’re crucial to me, so I have to make arrangements to return for them." Jiang Cheng spoke to the West District council president on the phone.

After speaking, the person on the other end remained silent. Jiang Cheng added a few more lines. "Moreover, the Hua Family District’s office security network was personally set by me at the start. This time I plan to go back and dismantle the security network I set myself to avoid future troubles."

Having said that, Jiang Cheng showed a slight smile.

Upon hearing Jiang Cheng’s words, the person on the phone seemed to lighten in tone.

"Hahaha, great! I approve of this leave, so feel free to handle your affairs, and if there are any issues, communicate with the office. Have a safe journey back. Once done, hurry back." The president on the phone replied.

Listening to the West District council president’s words, a peculiar smile appeared at the corner of Jiang Cheng’s mouth. "Thank you, Minister. I’ll return as soon as possible." With that, Jiang Cheng hung up the phone.

With approval granted, Jiang Cheng hurriedly booked a plane ticket to Hua Family District, planning to set off the next morning.

The next morning, Jiang Cheng began packing his things, preparing to set off for Hua Family District. While packing, his phone suddenly rang. Looking at the caller ID, it turned out to be the Minister of Security calling. "Hello? President, anything up?" Jiang Cheng asked. Anxiety gnawed at his heart — had the Security Department discovered something and decided last minute not to allow him to return?

"Jiang, it’s like this. You’ve come to our West District to serve as head of the security team, and society has sparked quite some public opinions. To protect your safety, I’ve arranged someone to escort you back, ensuring you return safely." The Security Department Minister expressed.

Listening to the Security Department Minister’s words, Jiang Cheng also broke into a slight smile. "That was close — I thought they’d found something and wouldn’t let me return!" Jiang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, understanding it wasn’t wise to decline and risk arousing suspicions.
