In another corner of Xicheng District, Dingding was leading people to continue searching. But as they continued to go deeper, they felt more and more uneasy. There were fewer and fewer signs that could show them the direction. They were mixed in with various footprints.

Even those with the best tracking skills have trouble telling the difference.

But everyone in the 'Peak' team still did not give up and continued to identify the path from the traces that were not traces. But this was not a jungle after all, and it was not known how long ago these so-called "traces" were left.

The team members didn't know how long they had been searching. From a distance, they heard two gunshots and a deafening explosion. Listening to that posture, it felt like they were about to turn Xicheng District upside down.

Everyone was frightened by the sudden explosion. Only Ding Ding, after hearing the explosion, sighed and put down the gun in his hand.

"We looked in the wrong direction, they didn't come here."

A feeling of disappointment permeated the members of the team. It was finally possible to get away from the frequent duty of standing guard today and do something really useful. But now that all the ducks in the mouth have flown away, it is inevitable that people feel a little disappointed.

"Then what are we doing now..." asked the person at the front of the team. His code name is "Eagle Eye" and he is the scout in the team.

"Retract the team, it's too late now." Ding Dian shook his head. With the explosions in the city, he could only barely judge the direction. It was impossible to judge accurately.

Even if they can judge the target and rush over now, it will be too late. When being chased by an enemy with a huge numerical advantage, the captain who can make such a bold decision and succeed will never make the final retreat.

careless.

"Walkie-talkie, help me keep an eye on this team and collect as much information as possible." Ding Dian ordered.

"I don't have any information, but you really think highly of me." The walkie-talkie shook his head and said with a bitter smile.

There was only a brief exchange of fire between the two teams. It was a complete encounter. Not even a single bit of valuable information was obtained. Relying on such a small amount of information to confirm the enemy would make the intelligence manager hit the wall.

It's difficult.

"Can't do it?"

"How will you know if you don't try." Although it is extremely difficult, the walkie-talkie still seems to be within reach...probably.

Ding Dian made a gesture, and everyone turned around and headed towards the station. When they passed the main road, Ding Dian unconsciously raised his head and glanced into the distance.

"We will meet again." Ding Dian muttered and turned back to his station.

Jiangdu District, Alpha Company Headquarters

Compared to the previous two days, this place is even more deserted now, especially the management office on the 19th floor. It was already very quiet here before, but now it feels even more deserted.

There are only a few offices with lights on. Most of the top management, those who can run away, have run away, and those who can't are resting at home, trying every means to break away from the relationship.

And most of the middle-level cadres who have some relationship with the top management are either running away or preparing to run away.

After all, everyone now knows that Alpha and its boss Steyer are already a giant ship that is about to sink. It is natural to abandon the ship and escape at this time.

Including some expiring teams, they flatly refused to renew their contracts and left Alpha.

Although Alpha still has a lot of liquidity and assets, in terms of real strength, it is far from comparable to Blackwater Thor.

One of the original three giants fell to this overnight, which has to be lamented.

Of course, for the other two families, the sorrow was temporary and superficial. After expressing some hypocritical concern, as soon as they hung up the phone, the two families immediately began to celebrate that their common enemy had fallen to the ground.

There is another group of people who are also celebrating, and that is the Security Bureau. As the main messengers behind the scenes and Alpha's gravediggers, they are hiding behind the scenes and giving out weird smiles.

Stair has long understood, but he has no way to resist. This is a conspiracy, a complete conspiracy. No matter what he does now, he can't cover up what he has done.

If you just use tactical androids and add an overlord clause, with Stair's high-level connections in the government, it won't reach this point at all. The most it will be is a fine.

Stair leaned on his chair. The continuous blows in the past few days had made him look much older. He was originally well-maintained, but now he no longer looked like a middle-aged man.

This man with gray temples and sunken eye sockets already looks like an old man in his sixties.

He is holding a cigar in his hand, and what is on the table in front of him is not a document, but a large ashtray. Looking at the embers inside, he must have smoked more than one.

The office door was lightly knocked twice, and then pushed open. If things were normal, this kind of pushing in through the door might make Steyer feel displeased. But now, even if he could push the door open,

There are fewer people entering.

Even debt collectors will communicate via email as much as possible, as if Stair is a patient with an infectious disease.

The person who walked through the door was Anna, one of the few veterans of Alpha Company who was now willing to stand on the same side as Steyer.

As soon as she entered the door, she placed a few records in front of Stair and stared into his eyes:

"They were very smart and did not reveal their flaws at all. Although they suffered losses, the plan completely failed."

"I guessed it, that's why I asked you to prepare for the second step." Stair forced a smile, this was actually part of his plan.

Anna glanced at him with complicated eyes: "You are good at choosing. If they are reliable, they will definitely be the best allies."

Stair didn't speak. He stayed quiet for a few seconds - maybe a minute or so, and then suddenly burst into laughter. He laughed so hard that he even squeezed out tears.

"Why are you laughing?" Anna looked on blankly. She had never seen Steyer lose his temper like this before.

"I'm laughing at myself." Stair wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes: "I never thought I would have such a day."

"What?" Anna tilted her head slightly, her face full of confusion.

"I would actually choose a former employee as an ally. What's even more sad is that I can't even confirm whether they are reliable or not."

Stair took a long drag on his cigar, and the smell of coffee beans mixed with cream filled the room.

"Is the second step solved?" Stair looked at Anna.

"It's done." Anna nodded. She had always supervised such important matters personally.
