Before long.
Mu Jian and his wife are the first to get up, as their daughter Mu Wan’er is playing with her toys in the bedroom, preventing them from sleeping in. They had no choice but to quietly dress and wash up before coming downstairs.
Chai Ren and his partner wake up hearing the commotion.
They have a delicious breakfast on the dining table.
"How about we go horse riding later?" Mu Jian suggested, lifting his head.
Chai Ren shook his head, looking disgusted, "Horses smell, no way. Let’s do something else."
"My horses are very clean," Mu Jian emphasized.
"Because they’re your horses, I worry. Plus, I’m scared it will kick me." Chai Ren swallowed a boiled egg peeled by Zhan Xi, then quickly took a sip of warm milk because the yolk was too hot.
"Serves you right, you won’t be riding later."
"Phew, so hot... I’ll ride anyway."
"..."
That’s how the joyous, peaceful breakfast went by.
After breakfast, everyone decided not to go horse riding after all due to the blazing sun outside. Skin protection was a high priority for the women, thus all females suggested staying at home. If they were by the sea, they could have sunbathed.
But that atmosphere doesn’t exist at home.
"This is boring, what to do."
Chai Ren held his head in his hands, watching the two learning flower arrangement with Liu Zhi from afar and grumbled. On hot days like today, even breathing felt uncomfortable when stepping outside.
"You could learn from Little Tang, look how interested he gets just by watching the news. Don’t worry, the weather will cool down in the afternoon. The weather report said it will rain and I’ll take you guys to a party in New York tomorrow."
Mu Jian set down his copy of "A Brief History of Time", not even lifting his head.
"Again with parties, boring." Chai Ren wasn’t interested at all, his years of studying in the United States had exposed him to American parties which often operated on the ’Date? Yes, let’s go.’ principle.
Of course, he doesn’t deny the benefits of such social methods, they could really bring people closer.
Mu Jian lifted his head and said, "This time it’s different, it is a gathering for the descendants of the Huaxia business and political families residing in the United States. Didn’t I take you to one last time? The one hosted by Mr. Ge, he’s hosting this one too."
"Mr. Ge? Ge Feng?" Chai Ren was intrigued.
Chai Ren immediately pictured a flashy figure in his mind. Ge Feng’s family is rich and powerful, even stronger than Mu Jian’s family. They are top three among the Huaxia business and political families in the United States, but he is a bit eccentric.
"Yeah, this guy just made a fortune and he’s throwing a party for everyone." Mentioning this, a smile unconsciously surfaced on Mu Jian’s face. His opinion of Ge Feng was that he was an interesting person.
"That definitely sounds like him, just a bit too showy during these parties." Chai Ren burst into laughter.
Mu Jian also started laughing, "Well, you can’t blame him for being rich and powerful. He may seem casual but he is honest and straightforward, a good person overall."
"Hehe, I actually look forward to what wicked ideas he’s going throw into the party this time," said Chai Ren, clearly ready for some excitement.
Talking about the party.
The two began to reminisce about their college days, sharing their short stories. Luckily both of them had no behavior issues, otherwise it would turn disastrous.
Mu Jian is completely under his wife’s thumb.
As for Chai Ren, he is heading in that direction.
Watching the news on TV, Tang Qing was truly bored, but surprisingly, American news shows could be quite entertaining. They dared to target anyone in the news, bringing up even the oldest gossip about Bush’s son trespassing on someone’s lawn.
Listening to these gossips was somewhat interesting.
Afternoon.
Just as Mu Jian predicted.
A light rain started falling from the sky, bringing relief from the morning heat, but with the rain, they couldn’t go outside. They could only stick to the villa’s surroundings, visiting Mu Jian’s wine cellar, shooting some targets, and tasting tea.
That’s how they spent the afternoon.
...
Night time.
In the command room.
Tang Qing listened to Tang Yi’s report.
It turns out that Beijing strongly demanded more quota for case analysis. With Little Two’s analytical capability and its vast surveillance network, the efficiency of solving major domestic cases has sharply increased recently.
Previously, because there were problems with the evidence in a few cases, Tang Qing restricted their quota. But ever since then, there have been no incidents of evidence disputes, and they are now looking to double their quota.
Helpless.
The efficiency of solving cases here was just too high.
Many old cases were cracked at an incredible speed and from unexpected angles. They have been studying and scrutinizing every case dossier so as to figure out the pattern, hoping they can do it too.
Pitiful.
Human effort can never beat machines.
All this time, significant progress has only made in terms of techniques for solving cases, but the key to cracking the case couldn’t be found as efficiently as Little Two’s way. This led to today’s situation.
What Tang Qing is really concerned about is not this. Quota is just quota. As for Little Two, it will not add any burden at all. What he cares about is another matter.
Yesterday afternoon, before the end of work, a hacking incident occurred at a military steel research institute in Huaxia. Someone uploaded a virus from the internal network, successfully breaking its defense system, and copied a lot of classified material data information. The security alarm system was triggered only ten minutes after the copying was completed.
Afterwards, due to the high tech skills of the intruder, their traces were completely wiped out. But the research institute is too large, with nearly ten thousand staff members, and over thirty people who understand computers and were using computers at that time have found no issues.
This was a big problem.
The person deleted all the traces that can be found with current measures, and none of the research institute’s personnel are missing. So they cannot determine who initiated it. They ended up asking the Information Warfare Research Center to assist in a thorough investigation.
The whole research institute was sealed off.
However.
They still found nothing.
After being reported up the line, the superiors hesitated for a while before deciding to seek their help, hoping they could find the culprit within a day. Otherwise, they would have to lift the blockade. If they did this, any lost items would be truly lost and there might be another leak.
When Tang Qing received this news, he was also furious.
These traitors who prioritize their foreign counterparts’ needs, instead of being good people, chose to serve foreigners like dogs.
Tang Qing hated those who betrayed state secrets. Things that the older generation worked hard to get, are stolen away in one disk, really outrageous.
This is a disadvantage of advanced technology.
In the past, it would take several trucks to carry the contents of these research institutes away in the form of documents and data. But in the information age, all this can be loaded onto a disk or a USB drive.
Combined with the nearly millisecond-calculated internet transmission speed.
It really benefits oneself, and others too. It’s a good double-edged sword. Considering the fact that even the operating system provided by Microsoft has many loopholes and backdoors, Huaxia’s cyber security situation can be said to be very serious.
"Tang Yi, is it checked?" Tang Qing asked with a frown.
"Responding to Commander, it has been checked out. However, it wasn’t a computer used by ordinary researchers, but the one in the director’s office. But at that time, the director wasn’t there and it should be someone who secretly entered," Tang Yi turned back and answered.
An internal network interface was previously opened there, allowing them to access most of the computers in the research institute. Anyway, there is not much content inside the computers. The files are in the small data center of the machine room.
What they were asked to check this time was only the erased traces.
"Can you tell who it is from the surveillance?" Tang Qing asked again.
"Responding to Commander, the corridor surveillance showed that no one entered or left during that timeframe, and from the time when the theft was detected to now, there was no one coming out. However, we concluded that there must have been someone in the room at that time, because the traces of keyboard input cannot be faked. According to the satellite, there is no one in the office now. Therefore, there is a high possibility that the person entered through the window. But without surveillance information and on-site investigation data, we cannot be sure," Tang Yi said.
"Hehe, it’s a little interesting now." Tang Qing chuckled slightly and was not too disappointed. After all, even if Little Two stepped in, the solve rate of those cases did not reach one hundred percent. Then, Tang Qing continued, "Tang Yi, do you have any good methods?"
"Responding to the Commander, in the absence of onsite fighter deployments, I suggest using the satellites in the highest alert mode to collect and monitor the heartbeat data of all personnel in the research institute area in real time. Combining this with focused questioning and facial data, there is a high chance of finding that person," Tang Yi answered.
Tang Qing nodded. This was a good method. Combining the three approaches, he did not believe that the person could not be found.
"Tang Yi, you inform them and arrange to call the people out in batches to an open-air place; set up broadcast and high-speed video channels; those people can wear masks, but they can’t cover their eyes, mouth, and ears."
For facial data, of course, you need to see their faces. But these are personnel from secret departments. How can they let him just shoot videos at will? It’s better for him to take the initiative and suggest covering the faces.
"Yes, Commander."
Having said that.
Tang Yi immediately contacted Beijing and conveyed the request.
