She and her mother were following the AI's instructions, but her concerns were more about safety. The AIs' plans and steps were incredibly detailed, and they even provided her a draft of the emails.

"Okay, just send it to the prosecutor's office later. Their AI should be able to handle it. Just do as Fu Xi and the others tell you."

They only had two things to do: Lee Hyun-eun would follow Kang Geum-sang's instructions to carry out his mission, while Kang Seon-ah would play the role of an obstructor who overheard her parents' scheme and secretly sabotaged it by reporting it to the authorities.

"Sent."

After confirming the message was sent successfully, Jiang Xuanya casually opened the dating task and found that the task progress had inexplicably increased by 2 percentage points.

What happened? Could it be that Xiao Chunan went back and looked up some information and made some progress?

When Lee Hyun-eun saw her phone ringing, she quickly patted her daughter:

"The phone is ringing, Xuan Ya, don't make a sound."

[Jiang Jinxiang: What's your decision? This is a rare opportunity.]

In most cases, anyone who claims to have a chance to make money together is a scammer.

Lee Hyun-eun had just been discussing something with her daughter with great concern, but now she seamlessly switched to a cold tone:

"The money isn't enough, you need to pay more. This is what you owe me from before!"

Jiang Jinxiang frowned on the other end of the phone, but agreed without hesitation. If Li Xuanen had agreed so readily, he would have been more suspicious. But now he was desperate and could only rely on this opportunity to turn his life around.

[Jiang Jinxiang: Okay. Bring the person to the designated hotel before 9 PM tomorrow night. I'll tell you the exact location later. When you arrive, keep an eye on the child and only leave when you're told to.]

"Nine o'clock at night?!" Lee Hyun-eun scoffed, "Aren't other people's kids watching them at night? How can I call someone out at night without their parents getting suspicious?"

Jiang Jinxiang's side clearly wavered and also felt there was a problem, but still insisted.

[Jiang Jinxiang: That's your problem. Money isn't that easy to get. I'll tell you the specific time later.]

Lee Hyun-eun's tone calmed down again:

"There's one more thing. When you were talking to me on the phone during the day, it seems Xuan Ya overheard us. I just checked her phone, and she sent an anonymous email to the prosecutor's office. You can decide what to do with it yourself. I'm a bit hesitant now, and I don't really want to do it even if the money is higher."

[Jiang Jinxiang: How can you mess up such a small thing? Couldn't you find somewhere to avoid answering the phone?! You're more trouble than you're worth. I'll go find someone to pull some strings and call you back later. Don't go to sleep so early!]

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Xuanya, who had been waiting by her side, finally dared to breathe normally. She had been so afraid that her breathing would be heard that she hadn't dared to breathe loudly.

"I'll have to wait for the next call, but everything's settled now. Next time it should just be a matter of tweaking some details," Lee Hyun-eun shrugged.

"I really don't understand how he got used to such a nerve-wracking situation." Jiang Xuanya felt a surge of disgust when she thought of her father.

P.S.: Only one update today. My tablet's battery is bulging badly, the screen is practically popping out, I need to back up my data.

Chapter 22 You seem to be in a hurry?

The next day, Chu Yinan went to the prosecutor's office early in the morning with the prosecutor.

After a few days of getting to know each other, Chu Yinan's relationship with her had grown much closer. Now, when walking with her, he could sometimes hold onto her stockinged thighs without any problem, even if he wasn't holding the female prosecutor's hand.

The car slowly drove into the garage. There were many people parked around, preparing to go to work. If you didn't know better, you would think you were in the underground parking garage of a shopping mall during a busy time.

Before getting off the bus, Shibuya reminded him:

"After we get there, you'll probably just sit here with me at my workstation. You can play games without any problem, but try to move around as little as possible. There's a female colleague who's a bit nosy and is senior to me at work, which sometimes puts me in a difficult position."

Wherever there are people, there is conflict; but aren't office disputes a bit treacherous, especially for a position like prosecutor?

Chu Yinan was there to fish as instructed by Qilin, and naturally didn't want to cause any trouble. He curiously confirmed:

"This is serious, which lady is it? I'll keep an eye on her."

Shibuya Giri was planning to take him to the office and then secretly identify him, but that person was quite sensitive, and if he was accidentally discovered, it would be troublesome.

She scrolled through her phone, found the list of personnel published on the prosecutor's website, and pointed to one of the women:

"This is Zhu Nao. She used to be the head of a department, but she was replaced. However, you know how much influence she had. It's not a good way for me to describe her, but she likes to show off, so she can't stand the slightest thing. It's best to avoid her."

Looking at this person's official photo, Chu Yinan could tell that official photos for such positions generally do not allow heavy makeup. Even the prosecutor, who usually wears a little eyeshadow, appeared almost without makeup in her official photo. Only this person named Zhu Nao had heavy makeup.

Moreover, the brooch seemed to be shinier than others', probably because it had something set into it.

"Got it, just hide! If that doesn't work, just pretend to be shy and not dare to speak."

“Yes.” Shibuya Yi patted his head approvingly, got out of the car and led him upstairs.

Upon entering the Special Investigation Department, Chu Yinan soon met the female prosecutor Zhu Nao, and he could immediately sense her extraordinary nature.

This woman, around thirty-five years old, had a rather stiff facial expression. Her facial bones showed signs of sharpening surgery, and she had had hyaluronic acid injections or similar treatments in her cheeks. Cosmetic surgery is a personal choice, and there's nothing to say about it. But the key point is that the topics this woman was discussing were rather outrageous.

“I think Xiaoheng Real Estate’s properties are good. They even frame the property certificates for you. The service is excellent. At first, I thought all properties were like this. But after buying a house from another company, I realized that only Xiaoheng Real Estate truly cares about its valued customers.”

Zhu Nao looked at the female prosecutors around her with a regretful expression, whether she was lamenting that she found out too late or something else.

Chu Yinan glanced at her furtively and then didn't dare to pay attention anymore. Perhaps this was the advanced level of Versailles, subtly showing off that she had more than two property deeds.

However, the real estate developers she mentioned are not interested in artificial islands, and even if they boast about it, probably no one will know what that means.

Chu Yinan followed Shibuya Yi to his seat. The prosecutor bought him drinks: a lemonade and two cups of water. It seemed that he could only get a lemonade after finishing the two cups of water.

Even when Shibuya was forced to slack off due to boredom, the first thing she would do every day when she got to her desk was to check if there were any tasks that needed to be done in her operating system.

In the public internal affairs system, she found a letter of complaint, which was sent late at night. Unfortunately, the letter had been deleted by someone with the administrator's identity. She could only see that the letter existed, but could not open it to confirm the content.

No, these complaint letters can't be deleted. Even if they're not accepted, you have to give a clear reason before you can return the email. You can't just delete it like that.

Shibuya felt puzzled. She didn't really want to talk to her colleagues in the office because she felt like they couldn't connect with each other. Even if they were talking about their travel experiences or makeup tips, Shibuya could still chime in a little, but in reality, their topics were all a bit too casual.

She stood up from her seat and politely inquired:

"Excuse me, have you received any deleted complaint emails in your system? Is it a problem with my system that prevents me from viewing them, or are they all inaccessible?"

"You can't see anything, don't worry about it. Just let the technical department take the blame if anything happens. The more they manage, the more they do," said the female prosecutor with short orange hair.

"So none of you could open it? I thought it was a problem with my computer. So what's going on with this email?" asked another female prosecutor with a long, thin face.

Chu Yinan then realized that such an important department as the Special Investigation Department was somewhat dominated by women. It wasn't that there was anything wrong with female prosecutors, but if there were male prosecutors, there would be someone to share the dirty and hard work.

At this moment, the prosecutor, Zhu Nao, cleared his throat and said:

"You're taking this long to talk about something so trivial? It's just an email from the tech department checking if the function is working properly. They'll delete it after they're done. Shibuya, why did you bring your little pet to work today?"

Although it was a joke, your joke was a bit offensive!

Shibuya Gi briefly introduced:

“My friend’s child, Chu Yinan, is staying with me because he’s throwing a tantrum. We even gave him some internal praise in the frontline department before.”

"Chu... Yinan? It's not that I have a problem with this kid, but it's never a good idea to bring unrelated people to your workplace. There are so many colleagues' files and computers here; it would be bad to cause some trouble."

Shibuya Yi didn't want to reply to Zhu Nao for a moment. If there were really that many important documents here, they wouldn't be able to go to work like they were just having tea and chatting.

"I understand, but we're both at work now, so it's not appropriate for me to leave just in time to see him off. I'll take him home at noon."

Zhu Nao suddenly shifted the focus of gossip to Chu Yinan, and asked:

"Young man, haven't you been going home lately?"

"...Yes, I'll be staying at Prosecutor Shibuya's house." Chu Yinan adopted a shy expression and tone, since no one here except Shibuya Yi knew his true nature anyway.

"That's not good. You can only resolve conflicts with your family by going home. I have a relative's child who is like that. He's become estranged from his family. I'm not trying to meddle, Shibuya Gyo.

"It's best for outsiders not to get involved in family matters like this. Otherwise, if it escalates into a family dispute and ends up in the prosecutor's office, it won't look good! There have been precedents for this. Why don't you take him home tonight? We haven't had a welcome party since you joined our department, so why don't you take him home at noon, and we can all go out for lunch together?"

Chu Yinan secretly raised an eyebrow and glanced at the prosecutor Zhu Nao out of the corner of his eye.

This person... seems to be in a hurry to take me home?

Chapter 23 Her Revenge

At 12:30 pm, Li Xuanen took Chu Yinan to a star-rated hotel for lunch and prepared to stay in their reserved room.

This process happened suddenly and dramatically, but that's just how it is.

First, Shibuya Yi was told by his boss that he had no choice but to send Xiao Chunan back to his own home. Before he even entered his home, Aunt Hyun Eun sent a message saying that she was going to pick him up and take him to a hotel. He was transferred to Aunt Hyun Eun's hands like a piece of merchandise and taken to the Haidan Hotel.

Meals were naturally casual and perfunctory. Hotels are not like family restaurants; you can't just ask the kitchen to cook a dish that's not on the menu, and the hotel menu itself doesn't suit his taste.

After eating some noodles to fill his stomach, Chu Yinan followed the plump and graceful married woman and waited for the elevator to take him to his hotel room to rest.

Standing in front of the elevator, Chu Yinan watched the elevator numbers slowly change. He suddenly thought that, according to the plot, "a naive little boy was secretly taken to a hotel and imprisoned by a scheming married woman." He really wanted to start a conversation, but worried about being overheard, so he could only put on a confused expression.

"Aunt Hyun-eun, where are we going?"

He was worried that there were spies nearby, and Lee Hyun-eun was equally worried. Holding the little boy's hand, she said:

"Let's go rest first, take a nap, and then we'll take you out to play in the afternoon."

"it is good."

The small screens above the elevator buttons usually play advertisements, but Chu Yinan noticed that the text in the advertisement images had been quietly replaced.

Don't go into the elevator; it'll help you fake surveillance footage.

Three seconds later, the elevator doors opened. Lee Hyun-eun was about to get on the elevator, but Chu Yinan stopped her. She wondered why she wasn't getting on when she saw a shadow pass through her body.

These were two projections, showing her and Xiao Chunan. The projections went straight into the elevator, and the numbers displayed on the elevator floor continued to climb.

Lee Hyeon-eun was dumbfounded. This projection technology was too amazing!

Another elevator door opened, and Chu Yinan pulled Li Xuanen into the elevator. Fu Xi's voice came through the elevator's loudspeaker.

"Just wait in room 1376B. The rooms they originally arranged have been faked with a projection. Before they give you any instructions, just relax and don't worry about being watched or being too reserved."

"Okay, but since the projection is so powerful, I don't really need to come in person, right?" Chu Yinan complained.

"We can't exactly use a projector to inspect the goods and take a hostage, can we? It would be exposed with the slightest touch. We can only fool the hidden cameras there. But are these people just desperate and grasping at straws, or do they think that if the Joint Council issues a temporary document to restrict us, we will give up on the research and development of related technologies?" Fu Xi felt that they were really being underestimated.

They used to be the ones messing with other people, how come they dare to cause trouble on their own turf now? Do they think that gray AI's surveillance technology is far ahead just because it has been updated a few times?

"So, once we're in the room, we don't have to keep such a serious face anymore?" Lee Hyun-eun asked to confirm further. Even though she knew the AI ​​was protecting her, she was still worried about being a spy.

"Yes, just relax and move around after you get into the room."

The elevator quickly arrived at the designated floor. Chu Yinan and Li Xuanen entered the room prepared by the AIs and immediately relaxed, lying on the bed to unwind.

The surveillance footage currently displayed on the TV was brought in by Fu Xi. The room in the footage was originally arranged by Jiang Jinxiang. "Li Xuan'en" was sitting by the French windows drinking tea, looking uneasy, while "Chu Yinan" was asleep on the bed, like a dead fish.

These images were "stolen" from a pinhole camera, which means that the room was being heavily monitored.
