Chapter 1598: Wolves At The Base
"Welcome to the base, Boss," San Zemin greeted, calling Lu Lijun this way for the first time.
For everyone, it was the same feeling they had when they first called Jiang Yuyan their boss after Lu Qiang was gone.
Lu Lijun was led inside the manor. He remained calm, remembering the day he came here with Lu Qiang. Everything was maintained the same; there were no changes in the interiors. Noah, despite being calm, was curious to see what was here exactly, and his eyes kept noting every detail.
After introducing everyone present, Ye Bai resumed his work as a butler.
"This is the drawing room," Ye Bai said as they walked ahead, starting to introduce the place to Lu Lijun. "I will show you around. Upstairs, there is your room and study as well."
They walked upstairs while the rest stayed behind. The door directly opposite the staircase opened, and Lu Lijun was led inside. There was a lavish bedroom in one part of the room, and another part was converted into a study with all the necessary arrangements.
Lu Lijun observed the room. He knew his brother used to stay here, but his thoughts wandered to when Jiang Yuyan must have stayed here. "She stayed here as well."
"Yes," Ye Bai answered, knowing who Lu Lijun was referring to.
"I can feel her presence here," Lu Lijun commented.
"The next room on the right is prepared for Mister Noah," Ye Bai said as he walked out of the room to go to the next one.
"For me?" Noah raised a brow as he followed Ye Bai.
The older man offered him a smile, "You will be coming here often, Mister Noah, so we have arranged a comfortable stay for you."
They entered the next room, which was similar to Lu Lijun\'s, and had both a resting and work area. "Not bad," Noah commented.
They went downstairs where Xiao Min was talking to San Zemin. "And where does Mister Xiao Min stay?" Noah asked, knowing he must have stayed here with Jiang Yuyan.
"I always had my room downstairs there," Xiao Min pointed to one of the doors on the right side of the staircase, "and that one on the left belongs to San Zemin."
Noah nodded in response and heard Ye Bai again, "There is a kitchen where I do my work."
"Cutting and slicing?" Noah raised a brow, noticing that this man was not just an ordinary butler.
"And cooking as well," the butler replied with a smirk on his lips. "I have quite a good set of knives with me."
"I would like to take a look," Noah replied.
"Of course. Whenever you feel like cutting and slicing something..."
"Or someone?" Noah added.
"That\'s precisely what I mean." Both smiled together as Noah said, "I look forward to it."
"Seems like it\'s you who is at your rightful place rather than me," Lu Lijun said with a grin on his lips.
"Can\'t deny it," Noah replied.
They were led further ahead behind a certain door, where everything changed. It looked different from the outside drawing room and normal residential feel. It was more like a secret zone of the manor. Walking along the corridors, they were shown the important places and stopped at the main control room, which had big screens hung on the wall and various people working behind the computers.
Noah\'s eyes widened, "Are you for real? What is this place?"
"The heart of the base," San Zemin informed and further explained what they did from there.
Noah looked at Lu Lijun, "Was your brother a Mafia?"
Lu Lijun chuckled, "What do you think?"
"I love the idea," Noah said excitedly.
On the way back from the control room, they were led to another corridor with many doors. Behind those doors were the torture rooms.
"How long since they have been used?" Lu Lijun asked.
"Last we had to use it was about two years ago when someone was causing trouble," San Zemin answered.
"And who used their skills here?" Noah asked, looking at those rooms with various torturing tools.
"Previous Boss," San Zemin answered.
Noah looked at Lu Lijun, finding it hard to believe that Jiang Yuyan must have tortured someone here. But Lu Lijun looked unaffected. He was sure she must have tortured every person involved in his brother\'s death, and he supported her decision.
"You have woman with skillful hands, Lijun. Make sure not to offend her," Noah teased.
"I certainly dare not," Lu Lijun smiled.
They were led back to one of the offices where the setup resembled a professional workspace. San Zemin said, "From here you can work. This computer is connected to the main server and has all the data since the day this base was established."
Lu Lijun nodded, eager to look through the data he had been waiting to see. He believed this place, rather than a police station, was the best source of information about his brother\'s death and the people involved. One of the reasons he agreed to be president was to take control of all the information stored at the base.
"I will work here. You can go out and do your work," Lu Lijun said, signaling the others to
leave.
Xiao Min, sharing a glance with San Zemin, said, "Let me know if you need anything."
Lu Lijun nodded, and they left.
Once the door closed, Noah grabbed a chair and placed it next to Lu Lijun. "Are you sure you will get everything here?"
"It won\'t be easy, but we\'re not easy either," Lu Lijun commented and began working on the computer, looking through files from the ten years since Jiang Yuyan took control.
After a while, Noah spoke, "These are the same ones we have. No additional information." "We\'ll find out," Lu Lijun said. "Get my laptop out."
"That program?" Noah asked.
Lu Lijun nodded, and Noah did as instructed. Noah worked on the laptop and said, "You can connect to it now."
After a while, Lu Lijun stared at the screen in front of him. Noah followed his gaze. "They have erased some files."
Lu Lijun nodded, "We need to recover them without letting them know. This computer is connected to the main server, so whatever we do here, they\'ll know about it."
"What should we do then?"
"There is always a way. For now, let\'s not do it. I need to create another program to hide the activities on this computer from being tracked."
"That shouldn\'t be difficult," Noah said. "I\'ll start working on it."
Lu Lijun nodded and said, "Whatever they\'ve been trying to hide, we will uncover it soon." "Aren\'t you the boss? Shouldn\'t they follow your orders instead of hiding things?" "They will from today on. But the previous boss was smart enough to clear everything, and unfortunately, some of them are still loyal to her. They won\'t let me get what I want." "Then they are underestimating us. They don\'t know what kind of wolves they\'ve brought
inside here."
Lu Lijun smirked, "They don\'t need to know it."
