Full-Time Public Enemy-Chapter 736 - 515: The Thief - Part 2

"I simply don't believe it! You really want to die old in Nie Dun? A great opportunity lies right before you, yet you have no clue how to grasp it. Then you only have yourselves to blame for dying old in Nie Dun!"

He didn't have much time either and turned to send a message to the next management level. Before leaving, he gave them a ferocious warning, "Don't cause any trouble for me!"

A few special agents looked thoughtful, but others still didn't care, muttering to each other, "But I've heard that guy climbed up by clinging to the Director-General's coattails…"

...

The mental interrogation continued. When it was the factory accountant's turn, Chen Gu found another clue.

But this time, it wasn't a Hacker Bomb; a segment of memory had been tampered with.

"The factory's accounts have issues!"

Chen Gu had the ability to restore that part of the memory, but he wasn't fully confident. If he failed, the accountant would become an idiot, just like the previous factory manager and workshop supervisor.

Chen Gu stared at the accountant for a long time before finally shaking his head, deciding not to risk this person.

No abnormalities were found in anyone else afterwards. Chen Gu concluded his interrogation and sat alone in the interrogation room, deep in thought.

With a wave of his hand, all the information regarding the "Songshan Garment Factory" case materialized before him. Chen Gu began to analyze it from the beginning, little by little.

In terms of the case itself, the stakes aren't particularly high. Over three months, the lost raw materials were valued at around twelve million Starshield, yet this factory brings the Xiaogasa Family seven hundred million in income each year. If this factory is hiding some unspeakable secret, the Xiaogasa Family wouldn't need to involve the Bureau of Mystic Security over a loss of just over ten million.

No, that's not right… At that time, Xiaoga Yexiong was in charge of this case. Rainbow Senior said it was already problematic that the Xiaogasa Family couldn't figure it out themselves in three months. They wanted to leverage the power of the Bureau of Mystic Security. After all, when it comes to investigating cases, the Bureau is more professional, and the resources it can mobilize far exceed those of a single family.

Xiaoga Yexiong fled in defeat, and the case fell into my hands. The Xiaogasa Family then hastily tried to cover up the truth… So they called on Mierugurei? And that hidden Sixth Energy Level Brain Domain Hacker?

Still, something doesn't add up. These ambushes and traps are clearly aimed at me personally, which doesn't align with the Xiaogasa Family's goals.

Chen Gu walked out of the interrogation room. Without a word, he switched to his Meng Moshi form, his body turning gaseous amidst a faint radiance.

In this state, Chen Gu activated a Radiation Field stored within the Secret Nest. The field's power extended wherever his gaseous form went, greatly increasing Chen Gu's sensory range.

Chen Jixian was directing people to excavate a pond. Sensing Chen Gu's presence, he lifted his eyelids noncommittally.

Chen Gu was not in the mood to pay him any mind. His own being, vast and diffuse in its gaseous state, searched bit by bit within the factory.

The factory covered a vast area, and it took Chen Gu a full half hour to complete a thorough search.

But there were no secret rooms or passages underground. After the search, Chen Gu only found one peculiar detail that wasn't quite a point of suspicion.

There was a small warehouse in the fourth workshop.

This workshop was managed by the supervisor who had been turned into an idiot by the Hacker Bomb.

The warehouse was well-hidden and small, storing some titanium jade.

This rare ore was used to produce the highest-specification model of star-space protective suits. These protective suits were military orders, purchased in small quantities because they were rarely used.

However, currently in the Star Sea, only a single resource planet within the Confederation produced this mineral.

In the vast Star Sea, there surely must be other planets that harbor this mineral, but none have yet been discovered.

Chen Gu deactivated his Meng Moshi perceptive mode and reverted to his normal form. He then pulled up the factory's records comparing titanium jade input with protective suit output.

The Xiaogasa Family is stealing this mineral! The data comparison made it clear at a glance. He easily calculated that the Songshan Garment Factory was stealing around three hundred kilograms of this mineral each year through fraudulent contracts.

Chen Gu hadn't known what kind of protective suits this garment factory produced until he saw the titanium jade. That's when he frowned. The Xiaogasa Family is audacious!

This mineral had scarce reserves and limited applications, but it possessed one critical use: it was an important additive for the "mass" preparation of antimatter.

Moreover, it was the only antimatter-related mineral that the Confederation could control. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

That highest-grade protective suit could only be produced in this one workshop. Under current production processes, each workshop had only a few workers—these were added primarily to provide jobs and pass Star Mansion's review. Otherwise, AI and machinery could run the entire operation without any human workers.

Stealing the titanium jade only required one or two people. They operated just before the worker shift change, eliminating any concern about leaks.

No wonder the Xiaogasa Family grew anxious when they couldn't figure it out themselves in three months. No wonder they tried everything to stop my investigation. But how much money could these minerals possibly sell for? Enough to make such a huge family take this kind of risk? This is treason!
