After breakfast, Qin He spent the morning at the company, processing a few documents and attending a meeting.
Now, the senior executives at Qin Corporation looked at her as if treading on thin ice.
Qin He didn't pay them any mind. After lunch, she drove to the United Department in the West District.
The atmosphere at the United Department was different from the company. Because some residents of the West District knew this was a reconstruction department, people occasionally came to demand to see the person in charge.
Some felt the compensation was unfair, while others came to cause trouble.
After discussing with Gu Qishen, Qin He set up a large office at the main entrance of the United Department, specifically for handling these issues.
As soon as she entered, the United Department was in a scene of bustling activity.
Qin He glanced around. Gu Qishen had told her to stay at the United Department, but there was actually nothing much to do.
Except for a few matters that the management couldn't decide on and would consult them about, most of the time was spent listening to reports.
Otherwise, there was nothing else to do.
Entering the office, Qin He turned on her computer and logged into the dark web.
Her fingers quickly tapped on the keyboard, and soon she entered the dark web's largest trading forum: Qingyan Mansion.
Qingyan Mansion offered a wide variety of tradable items, from small goods to information brokering. Initially, registered users could only see simple merchandise and information transactions.
However, as user registrations increased and management granted special permissions, some special sections and transactions would become visible.
The transactions in those sections involved huge sums of money and became increasingly secret and dark.
In Qingyan Mansion, Qin He was a veteran member. Her ID was Qing Xie, and she was one of the four administrators of Qingyan Mansion.
In the past, Qin He would occasionally take on small tasks in Qingyan Mansion to hone her skills and earn some pocket money.
Qin He was skilled in many areas, and the tasks she took on were diverse, but they all had one common characteristic: they were tasks that others couldn't handle.
Her reputation grew, and she was later invited to join the management team by the creator of Qingyan Mansion, "Mo."
The four administrators were in the same group chat. Qin He glanced at the chat and saw that two people were online and chatting.
Qin He typed: "Are there any easy, high-paying tasks recently?"
Mo: "Qing Xie is here? I've listed the latest tasks on the task board. Go and see if there's anything you like."
Another person chatting with Mo in the management group chimed in.
Jueqing Liulang: "Qing Xie, what have you been busy with lately? I haven't seen you in a long time."
Qin He's fingers tapped on the keyboard.
Qing Xie: "Busy falling in love."
Jueqing Liulang: "Found someone you like? That's rare."
When Qin He first joined Qingyan Mansion, she didn't fill in detailed information, and her default gender was male. Now, everyone on the forum believed Qing Xie to be a male hacker prodigy with a wide range of interests.
Based on Qing Xie's skills and knowledge, one of her little fans had previously conducted a thorough analysis of all the tasks Qing Xie had taken and her remarks.
Finally, through various aspects of psychology, a conclusive analysis was reached.
Qing Xie was a reserved man, around thirty-five years old.
That analysis post was very detailed and widely accepted. Qin He was happy that someone had diverted attention, which made it easier for her to hide her true identity on the dark web.
The four administrators of Qingyan Mansion: Mo, Qing Xie, Jueqing Liulang, and Di Shi.
In everyone's perception, only Di Shi was female among the administrators.
Qin He didn't reply. She switched to the task posting section and took a look.
There were no high-paying tasks. She scrolled down with her mouse wheel and then went to the section where users posted tasks themselves to search.
Soon, she saw a familiar name.
"Young Lady of the Qin Family from Qingcheng?"
Qin He narrowed her eyes and clicked on the task to read it.
The poster's name was Ling Dian Meigui, and the task content was: Assassinate the Young Lady of the Qin Family, with a bounty of five million.
Qin He's gaze turned dangerous. She immediately screenshotted the task and threw it into the management group chat.
Qing Xie: "Mo, do you know this poster?"
Mo: "Never seen them before. Just registered recently, right? This section for self-posted tasks doesn't have a forum deposit, so usually, no one takes them. Maybe they're just messing around?"
Qin He sat in her chair, switching back to the task interface.
Her intuition told her this wasn't a prank. The post also included the Qin family's specific location.
Ling Dian Meigui.
Qin He immediately switched to the system and tried to investigate Ling Dian Meigui's true identity.
The dark web's anonymity was extremely high. Server addresses were virtual and changed every few seconds.
Investigating it was like searching for a needle in a haystack.
Qin He's lips tightened. Ever since someone had infiltrated her bedroom, she had realized that someone intended to harm the Qin family.
Combined with the suspicious car accidents before, this person must be very well hidden.
But Ling Dian Meigui gave her a strange feeling. Posting a task so carelessly, weren't they afraid of being discovered by the Qin family?
Unless, this person wasn't part of the same group as the previous ones.
Qin He pondered, quickly creating a small program to filter Ling Dian Meigui's IP address.
It would take a considerable amount of time to track down Ling Dian Meigui.
Qin He sat thinking. If the previous people were trying to kill her, then the person who infiltrated her bedroom when she returned to the Qin family should have acted directly, instead of escaping.
And they had covered up the subsequent surveillance.
This method, rather than being aimed at her, seemed more like they were looking for something.
Qin Yun's car accident was also like this, and her two previous car accidents were also like this. They weren't fatal, but they caused chaos in the Qin family.
Qin He's eyes suddenly lit up.
The other party wanted to throw the Qin family into chaos, with the purpose of obtaining something that existed within the Qin family.
This was problematic.
Qin He rested her chin on her hand. The Qin family did indeed have many treasures. She didn't know what the other party's objective was.
But no matter what, this group of people and this seemingly foolish Ling Dian Meigui were definitely not working together.
Qin He let the program run and went to get a cup of water.
Zhou Yang was guarding at Qin Corporation, and she didn't want to find another assistant. For minor matters, she handled them herself.
Just as she reached the water dispenser, the office door was knocked.
Through the frosted glass, she could vaguely see the silhouette of the person outside.
"Come in."
The office door opened, and Gu Qishen walked in from outside.
"Mr. Gu, please sit."
They sat down at the table, and Qin He asked, "Is there something?"
"There's a banquet tomorrow, and I'd like to invite you as my companion," Gu Qishen said directly.
Qin He's forehead twitched: "Mr. Gu, we are just partners. Do you think this is appropriate?"
Gu Qishen calmly said, "The banquet is hosted by the Vinson family. However, your Qin family has some conflicts with the Vinson family, so the Vinson family probably wouldn't send your family an invitation."
"But I heard that they've invited Master Sunmao, whom you've always wanted to meet. I remember you were very interested, so I thought I'd invite you to attend as my companion."
Qin He's brows furrowed when she heard about the Vinson family. When she heard that Master Sunmao would also be there, her eyes lit up.
"I'll go! What time?"
