"Yes, it was indeed like that, and I also checked those circuits, nothing has been tampered with. Also, those sounds I heard, I can't hear them anymore, which proves that they have stopped their actions for now."

"What will they do next?"

"I'm not sure, but what I do know is that tonight will definitely be a very quiet night. So, I suggest that you should go back once more; after all, it's been two days since Miss Lin was last seen. At the very least, you should explain things to her."

"What about you? Aren't you going back?"

"If I go back, wouldn't that make me a third wheel between you two? I'm fine staying here. Besides, I just asked around, and Captain Yang is on the night shift today. I will have a chat with him later, don't worry, I know what to do."

"Remember, no matter the situation, you must be careful tonight. After all, if anything happens here, you must call me promptly, got it?"

"Don't worry, I know what to do. Now get going, it's already this late."

Hearing this, Ye Chen nodded with relief. To tell the truth, he had already started to worry about Lin Yaru.

"Also, rest assured that I'm not staying here just to liaise with him, there's another important matter that I must prepare for."

"What's the important matter?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen took a step forward, feeling that most everything seemed to have been dealt with and that there shouldn't be any 'important matters' tonight.

"Have you forgotten? If there are people working in that underground space, from where did they evacuate all of a sudden today?"

"You mean there are still others down there? That's not certain; it could just be machinery at work. Don't forget, we live in the age of high-tech, where manual operation is not necessary, perhaps remote control is enough to handle everything."

"That's why whether it's high-tech or not, I can only find out by investigating everything tonight."

"Where they leave from, you probably don't know, right? Moreover, how many people are down there, when they left, when they arrive, all of these, we are completely unaware."

"I have set up an alarm device. Any person or heat source passing through any area down there would generally trigger an alarm here. If there's no alarm, there are only two explanations."

At this point, Anying paused for a moment, then looked up at Ye Chen, as if the following matters could be completely understood by Ye Chen even without explanation.

"The first explanation is that there might be no one underground at all, and the second is that these people found another path, one that is completely different from the area you have monitored."

"Exactly, that's what worries me the most. If there's another route, it would be completely out of our control."

"At this point, all we can do is take one step at a time. Let's leave things as they are for tonight, and remember, when communicating with Captain Yang, you must be careful. Also, Jin Ling asked me something today."

"Oh? What did she ask you?"

"She asked why there was no information about you in the personnel files. I told her that you were recruited by me, so you have no relation to this company. Moreover, all of your salary is paid by me, and you can only be considered as my secretary or assistant. Remember, this is the same explanation you should give to anyone who asks."

"Alright, I got it. Don't worry, I know how to handle it."

This was Ye Chen being cautious, as he didn't involve Anying in the onboarding process.

In fact, Ye Chen had said that it wasn't the right time for Anying to reveal his identity, so he had to keep him as a hidden figure by his side.

Only in this way could he operate freely, without any kind of control.

When Ye Chen arrived home, it was already 7:30 pm. Far off, he could see the lights on in the house, which probably meant that Lin Yaru had already returned.

Since she had worked the night shift only yesterday, it wouldn't be possible for her to do so again tonight, as even if she wanted to, the hospital likely wouldn't allow it.

However, Lin Yaru hadn't reached out to him since her return, which suggested that she might be pondering over something.

Upon opening the door, Ye Chen saw no one in the living room, only the light on in Lin Yaru's room, indicating that she must be there.

Probably Lin Yaru heard some noise outside and then came over, opening the door to look out, only to see Ye Chen.

"Ah, why have you suddenly come back at this time? Where's Anying? Didn't he come back with you?"

"Anying stayed at the company. There are still some matters to be handled over there, so I came back first by myself."

"How goes it then, have you finished dealing with everything?"

"Not completely, there are still some loose ends to tie up, but everything went relatively smoothly last night, we've found the issues that needed to be found."

"That's good, that's good. As long as you can smoothly take over the work, then you'll be able to carry on well with the subsequent tasks."

"What about you? How are you doing? It's been two days at the new workplace, are you able to adapt?"

"Ha, my work as a doctor is completely different from yours; I don't need to adapt to the environment. Besides, every day I'm faced with a new environment. Don't forget, I deal with patients of all sorts, so for me, the environment is really not an issue."

"Yeah, that's true. I overlooked that. So how have the last couple of days been? Any troublesome matters?"

"Not really, mostly common illnesses. And since I've already worked in hospitals for so many years, these issues come easily to me, nothing too challenging."
