Qin Wan frowned, “So he’s eager to make a name for himself, wants to control the Dark Web, and he’s quite the dreamer. If he’s capable, he shouldn’t just sit in his office and give orders. He should be on the frontlines to see how long he can survive there. The boss has only been away from the frontlines for the past three years. Three years ago, he used to handle many missions himself. He said that only by experiencing it himself can he understand the needs of frontline operations and the psychology of those working there, and only then can he provide better support. He’s not doing anything but wants to take credit for the work of others for so many years. Disgusting!”

Qin Wan was so angry her face turned red!

Gu Ci called Gu Ziyu and asked him for a small favor. After hanging up the phone, Gu Ziyu consulted Chen Liangdong.

After a brief moment of thought, Chen Liangdong nodded, “Just don’t make it too obvious.”

“Alright!”

After hanging up the phone, Gu Ci organized Lin Qing’s information. Jiang Minghua was disheartened and hadn’t recovered from the shock of the situation. He held onto a glimmer of hope and asked, “Cici, could it be a mistake?”

“Uncle, it’s not a mistake. Lin Qing will confront the National Security in half an hour.” Gu Ci also received a message from Gu Ziyu. Chen Liangdong acted swiftly and didn’t want to delay any longer.

Gu Ci said, “Uncle, could you introduce me to Colonel Zhang?”

“You want to meet Colonel Zhang, the Commander?”

Gu Ci nodded, “Yes.”

Jiang Junlin and Lin Qing sat in the interrogation room, with a one-way glass separating them from a group of high-ranking officials who were listening to the interrogation. The Dark Web was not a secret organization; many government agencies had cooperated with them. They knew that the Dark Web operated outside of their jurisdiction, providing money, intelligence, rescue, and the assistance of the “Black Hawk Eye System” to overseas agents, which had contributed significantly to the success of overseas agents.

The Dark Web wielded significant power; they could analyze missions and even decide whether a mission should continue. They had almost complete control over the activities of overseas agents, while also providing a continuous flow of funds and ensuring a stable market environment for the domestic financial market.

During the financial crisis, they even had the power to request substantial funds. They were wealthy and influential, but their master was Jiang Junlin, the President of Hualan Bank, a fact known to very few.

The high-ranking officials sitting outside the interrogation room had an average age of around 55. They had always assumed that the person in charge of the Dark Web was around their age, but they were shocked to find out that it was Jiang Junlin, who was not even thirty years old.

In terms of shock value, this revelation was even more astonishing than Chen Liangdong hiring the young boy, Gu Ziyu.

Chen Liangdong and Gu Ziyu had seen most of their faces before, so Gu Ziyu recognized them all. Gu Ziyu accompanied them, standing outside and watching. Apart from them and the information officers recording the proceedings, all other information was isolated.

Inside the interrogation room, Chen Liangdong and Lin Qing sat on one side, while Jiang Junlin sat on the other. Chen Liangdong placed a computer in front of Jiang Junlin and asked him to confirm his identity, “Mr. Jiang, please confirm your identity.”

Jiang Junlin entered the password, underwent iris and fingerprint verification, and logged into the Dark Web. The Dark Web had eleven separate departments, each with its own set of instructions.

After Gu Ci took over the Dark Web, the Financial Center and Information Security remained in a silent state. With Jiang Junlin absent, the heads of the Financial Center and Information Security Center were also silent. The entire departments had disconnected from the Dark Web, and only a small team of information officers from the Black Hawk Eye System system cooperated with Gu Ci’s actions. The two main departments were completely silent.

Jiang Junlin projected the instructions onto a large screen, initiated video conference calls with all department heads, and within a minute, all eleven of them had gathered, confirming Jiang Junlin’s identity.

Once confirmed, Jiang Junlin cut off the connection, and they fell silent once again.

Chen Liangdong, although not familiar with the Dark Web system, could clearly see from Jiang Junlin’s actions that the Jiang family was indeed at the heart of the Dark Web. They operated with utmost precision, and Jiang Junlin was unquestionably their central figure.

“Identity confirmed, he’s the Lord of the Dark Web,” Chen Liangdong said.

Lin Qing smiled at Jiang Junlin, “Junlin, this is really a misunderstanding. I had no knowledge of the Dark Web’s existence. My team in Paris suffered heavy casualties, with only one survivor. They were sent to track down Ji Chi, but a firefight erupted, leaving only one person alive. Based on his report, you and Ji Chi were together and fired at them. In my anger, I sent two more teams to capture Ji Chi, thinking it was a misunderstanding. I didn’t expect them to run into you again. In order to ensure Ji Chi’s survival, you willingly let yourself be arrested. I had Li Mu lead the team to bring you back to clarify the shooting incident.”

Jiang Junlin also knew that Lin Qing would have a perfect explanation. He smiled and said, “The Dark Web and Black Hawk have been in constant conflict for many years. During the financial war, Ji Chi imprisoned me in his home and tortured me in various ways. That day, 1 had a bout of gastritis, and Ji Chi took me to the hospital. My bodyguards tried to rescue me on the way, but unexpectedly, a group of mercenaries came after us. My people never encountered these killers. They didn’t reveal their identities, they didn’t issue warnings, and at the time, 1 was unconscious the whole way, dragged without firing a single shot. Moreover, the ones who came to intercept me were my own bodyguards. To persuade them to intercept me, someone must have known my identity.”

“Junlin, your father and I have been close friends since middle school, and we’ve always been like brothers. We have a close relationship between our families. If 1 wanted the Dark Web, there would be no need for this. 1 could have simply convinced you to work for me.”

“The Dark Web is a public tool and cannot be used privately. You know I wouldn’t show favoritism. Such things should only be in one’s own hands for maximum security.”

“Minister Lin is seeking justice for the deceased team members, hence the arrest of President Jiang. But who were the people that arrested him? Where are they from?” Chen Liangdong asked.

“It was a group of makeshift mercenaries that I contacted, and all the contract documents are here,” Lin Qing said, prepared as he took out the documents for Chen Liangdong to inspect one by one.

Lin Qing added, “If necessary, I can have them testify.”

“What does President Jiang say?” Chen Liangdong inquired.

Jiang Junlin responded, “The ones who came to capture me were a team of overseas mercenaries, and they included members of my own security team. If I’m not mistaken, they should all be dead, leaving no witnesses.”

Lin Qing chuckled and said, “Junlin, in all matters, evidence is crucial. This incident appears to be a misunderstanding.”

Jiang Junlin calmly looked at him and said, “Uncle Lin, so you’re not admitting that you instigated Zhang Huan to chase and arrest me, with the intention of obtaining control of the Dark Web. Is that correct?”

“This was an entirely baseless accusation from the start.”

“So, you don’t know Zhang Huan?”

“How could I possibly know your security team?”

“Very well!” Jiang Junlin smiled and, after some keystrokes on the computer, displayed a set of photos for Lin Qing.. “Can you explain what these photos are all about?”
