Chapter 53: Information Erased, Investigation Interrupted!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
They had planned the mission for a month before it was carried out.
During that time, they had made almost perfect preparations.
The preparations they had made, no one could find fault with them in any way.
It could be said that they had made no mistakes!
But when they actually acted…
It was a fiasco.
It was the only mission he hadn’t completed since joining the SEALs.
When performing that mission, the opponent seemed to have insight into all their plans in advance and dug a hole for them to jump into one by one.
As a result, all his brothers were killed, and he, too, barely escaped with his life.
He knew that there was a mole on his side.
The mole told the target of their plan, thus led to their defeat.
And the mole was not one of his brothers.
It was a high-ranking official who was involved.
He told the leader about the mission plan.
There were many high-ranking officials who knew about the mission plan, but he did not know who betrayed them.
That was why he wanted to investigate.
The real reason he wanted this file was he wanted to start investigation from the very beginning.
After that, Jon opened the file in the director’s office.
The moment he opened it, his heart sank.
The first thing he saw were a few long black blocks.
A lot of information in this file had been erased.
And the parts that had not been erased were the process of their mission and the results, which were not important.
He suddenly raised his head and looked at the director.
At this moment, he even felt that the director had deliberately tampered with it.
The purpose was to stop him from continuing to investigate.
The director seemed to see through Jon’s thoughts and shook his head, “I don’t need to do that. It’s not as simple as you think. Since the person behind it has betrayed you, he won’t stupidly leave the relevant information and wait for people to investigate.”
“Erasing some important or not-so-important information to eliminate some potential risks is perfectly normal.”
Jon’s heart sank to the bottom.
He stared blankly at the document filled with black blocks. He was extremely unwilling.
“All I can do is give this document to you. I can’t do much else.”
The director said slowly, “But through this exercise, your performance has entered the eyes of some big shots. They have seen your value and praise you.”
“Next, these big shots will arrange another exercise soon. If you continue to perform to their satisfaction, they may provide you with the information you want.”
“Next, I’ll give you two days off. Go back and rest well.”
“Okay.”
Jon nodded and didn’t say anything else.
The director of the FBI might be a very high position in the eyes of some people.
But in the eyes of the real big shots, he was only a low-level official.
So, there were many things that the director didn’t have the authority to know.
Jon placed the document on the director’s desk and turned to leave.
Along the way, his colleagues looked at him with surprise, baffle, envy, jealousy, disdain, and so on.
Jon did not care.
He returned to his rented house.
Jon planned to study his system.
In addition to the skills, money and attribute points awarded by the system, there were also 500 points.
And these 500 points could be used to buy things in the system store.
The system store had a lot of goods, from daily necessities to all kinds of guns, and even medicine. It could be said that everything was available.
And the points had another use, which was to level up skills.
Of course, different skills and levels required different points.
Different amounts were required, for example, though both were low-level skill, 1,000 points were required to upgrade the god-level lock picking skill while 1,500 points were required to upgrade the aura of a police.
And Jon could not upgrade any skills with his current points.
However, he did not plan to upgrade his skills for the time being.
After all, he didn’t need to upgrade his skills now, and the points might be useful.
As time passed, just as Jon was about to go out for dinner…
Bang!
There was a knock on the door.
It wasn’t his old friends as they wouldn’t come at this hour.
And even if they did, they would contact him before coming.
And his social situation was terrible.
Other than his old friends, no one would come.
So, who was the one knocking on the door?
Jon became slightly cautious.
“Who?”
He asked.
“Mr. Jon.”
A familiar voice sounded from outside the door.
Jon was stunned. He remembered this voice. It was the female reporter from the city television station who had interviewed him.
Jon opened the door and saw the beautiful woman standing outside.
Unlike her previous attire, the woman was not wearing work clothes. She was wearing a thin beige jacket and tight jeans, which accentuated her sexy figure.
Her blonde hair was not tied up. It fell naturally to her slender waist.
Her eyes were bright and her fair face was covered with exquisite makeup.
This woman was indeed very beautiful.
She was not even inferior to some celebrities.
The woman smiled when she saw him. It was not a professional smile during the interview. Instead, she appeared very relaxed, as if she was treating a friend.
“Why are you here?”
Jon was a little puzzled. The interview was already over. Why did this reporter still come over?
“It’s… It’s the director who told me that you live here. Um… Can i… buy you a meal?”
The woman stood at the door and looked at Jon. Her expression was a little awkward, and it was very different from the image of a competent reporter in the afternoon.
“Meal?”
Jon was slightly startled.
Obviously, he did not expect this woman to actually treat him to a meal.
Then, he smiled and said, “Sure.”
Anyway, he was prepared to go for a meal. Furthermore, from the look in the woman’s eyes, it seemed like she was interested in him, so he did not mind making contact with her.
The two of them walked on the sidewalk.
“Um, do you know because of your serious attitude, the live broadcast of this drill that I broadcasted has already broken the live broadcast records of all the television stations in the country?”
The woman had to raise her face when she Spoke as Jon was a head taller than her.
Under the streetlight, Jon saw that the woman’s eyes were flashing with excitement.
“Is that so? Then congratulations.”
Jon smiled.
“How long have you worked at the city television station?”
Jon found a topic to ask.
They were just chatting. Even if there was no topic to talk about, he had to find a topic. Otherwise, the atmosphere would be awkward.
“It’s been three years. After graduation, I entered the city television station,” the woman replied softly.
“Three years… three years…”
Jon’s thoughts flew out again. During that time, he and his brothers should be making plan for that mission three years ago, right?
At that moment which was three years ago…
He and his brothers did not realize at all that the next mission they were going to carry out had almost killed them all!
