With Secretary Huang's care, Da Huang received better treatment from the security guards. They escorted Da Huang out of the community gate as if sending off a dear friend.
Da Huang was about to return to report to Chen Nan anyway, so he immediately came back.
Soon, man and dog were reunited. To obtain the freshest information, Chen Nan connected with Da Huang's mind. Everything Da Huang saw was projected into Chen Nan's consciousness, and Chen Nan basically understood the situation.
Obtaining the basic information was only the first step. Chen Nan then took Da Huang in a taxi back to his own district.
After eating lunch, Chen Nan took Da Huang back to his residence alone and began to train him.
In reality, dogs on Earth are not stupid, and the dogs on Kapudan Planet are also very intelligent. Furthermore, Chen Nan's training was entirely conducted through the mental realm. Therefore, in less than two days, Da Huang became proficient in human ways through training.
One day, Chen Nan gave Da Huang a thorough bath, issued an order, and then let him out alone.
Because of their mental connection, Chen Nan was very sure that Da Huang still remembered Secretary Huang's address. This time, he wanted Da Huang to infiltrate Secretary Huang's home and, ideally, stay there as a mole.
Da Huang waited for Secretary Huang to get off work and followed his car into the community.
Secretary Huang was in a good mood today. As soon as he got out of the car, he saw Da Huang squatting there, wagging his tail and begging.
"Oh, you're back again?" Secretary Huang liked dogs because he had learned a lot from them, which helped him reach his current position.
He squatted down and, seeing that Da Huang was very clean, patted him and asked, "What's wrong, no more food?"
Da Huang jumped excitedly and nodded at him repeatedly.
Secretary Huang smiled and said, "Alright, then come with me."
He stood up to wait for the elevator, and Da Huang waited obediently by his side. When the elevator arrived, the man and dog entered. Secretary Huang pressed the button for the 13th floor, and the elevator began to ascend rapidly.
When they reached the 13th floor, Secretary Huang unlocked the door and entered the house with Da Huang.
"You're back?" came the voice of the lady of the house, and then a beautiful woman appeared. "Oh, you've brought another dog home!"
Da Huang immediately knelt on his hind legs, mimicking a bow with his front paws, and repeatedly bowed to the lady of the house with a fawning expression. This made the lady of the house giggle, "This dog has your old demeanor."
Secretary Huang closed the door, smiling, "This is called high emotional intelligence. Without such high emotional intelligence, how could one navigate the political arena? Alright, take this inside. That document should be kept in the safe."
A black briefcase was taken by the lady of the house, who teased, "With a briefcase full of documents, do you still need to read people's expressions?"
Secretary Huang smiled somewhat haughtily, "Emotional intelligence, emotional intelligence! By the way, has the girl come back?"
The lady of the house said as she walked away, "She's not coming back. She's staying at her grandmother's. Isn't tomorrow Sunday? She wants to relax there."
Secretary Huang took off his shoes, and Da Huang immediately followed the scent, found his slippers, and brought them to his feet.
Secretary Huang was taken aback, then burst into laughter, becoming even more satisfied with Da Huang.
Just like that, Da Huang integrated into the family. In the blink of an eye, five days passed.
During these five days, Chen Nan had been hiding in his residence, using the listening device attached to Da Huang to eavesdrop on the situation at Secretary Huang's home. Through this, he had basically confirmed that what he needed was in Secretary Huang's safe.
However, Da Huang couldn't steal those documents for him. It seemed he would have to act himself.
In these past few days, Chen Nan's sense of crisis had been growing stronger. He had encountered suspicious individuals in the vicinity more than once.
These people were all unfamiliar faces, and their clothing and demeanor were very out of place for this district. Based on the results of tracking them with the dogs he had sent out, Chen Nan had roughly determined that these people were looking for him.
With this mounting pressure, Chen Nan had to accelerate his plans.
One night, Chen Nan put his plan into action. He had an advantage that those looking for him did not: they could not track his movements as consistently as Chen Nan could.
Ever since he learned of their arrival, Chen Nan had been operating from the shadows, using stray dogs to monitor them.
Before venturing out this time, he thoroughly surveyed the environment outside, ensuring there was no danger before leaving.
He didn't dare to take a taxi nearby. Instead, he led the dogs, scouting the way, as they walked towards the center of Wu City. After walking for several blocks, he finally took a taxi to his destination.
Arriving outside "Jiahao Residential Community," he saw that the electric gate was already closed. The side gates required a card to open. Chen Nan's only option was to climb over the gate.
Since the gate was only a little over a meter high, climbing over it was not a problem. The only issue was that the security guard at the gate was on duty twenty-four hours a day.
At this point, Chen Nan had no other choice but to use his power again.
He first controlled two gray sparrows that flew near him and ordered them to block the surveillance camera at the community entrance. Then, he focused on the security guard and sent a command into his mind: Sleep! Sleep!
Although he felt a slight headache, the security guard fell asleep in his chair without even seeing Chen Nan's face.
The community was very quiet at night, with few people around. Chen Nan quickly climbed over the gate and entered the community.
Chen Nan summoned the two gray sparrows back, and they continuously blocked the surveillance cameras for him. He then stealthily made his way to Secretary Huang's elevator.
This elevator also required a card to operate. Chen Nan could only wait here. He didn't believe he was so unlucky that no one would use the elevator all night.
Before long, someone returned and happened to arrive at the elevator. Chen Nan immediately stepped forward and asked, "Auntie, I forgot my access card. Could you let me in the elevator?"
The stout woman smiled and said, "It's okay, little one. Come with Auntie."
It was easy to get things done when you were a child; no one suspected anything.
Chen Nan still ordered the gray sparrows to fly into the elevator first and block the camera before he entered.
"Which floor is your home on, little one?" the stout woman asked.
"The 13th floor, Auntie," Chen Nan replied.
The stout woman then pressed the buttons for the 13th and 26th floors. When they reached the 13th floor, the gray sparrows and Chen Nan came out together. There were no surveillance cameras in the hallway. Chen Nan ordered the gray sparrows to wait for him there while he went to Secretary Huang's door.
Chen Nan had already contacted Da Huang, and Secretary Huang's family was asleep. He first had Da Huang unplug the indoor surveillance device before opening the door for him, and Chen Nan slipped into the house.
Secretary Huang's home must have been around 200 square meters, spacious and exceptionally grand.
His safe, however, was placed in a small storage room. Chen Nan headed straight for the storage room and quickly found the safe. This was the downside of having a large house.
The family was asleep behind closed doors, and no matter how careful Chen Nan was outside, they wouldn't react.
Chen Nan faced the safe, Da Huang by his side, and their mental communication resumed. The scene of the mistress opening the safe each time was projected from Da Huang's mind into his.
It was indeed quite a struggle to open the safe from a dog's perspective, but after a few tries, Chen Nan managed to open it.
Inside the safe were gold, diamonds, and gems, along with some strange coins and Qingyang Coins. Besides these, in a separate compartment, were stacks of file bags.
Chen Nan casually pulled out one of the file bags, opened it, and glanced through its contents with the help of his phone's light. The contents made Chen Nan heave a long sigh of relief; his multi-day plan had not been in vain.
This proved his judgment was correct, or rather, his luck had been pretty good.
Inside the file bags, besides some written documents, there were also items resembling USB drives. Chen Nan could roughly guess what they contained.
With so many file bags, he couldn't take them all, so he conducted a selection process. He finally chose two files, which were enough to send Wu City's Prefecture to prison. That was sufficient.
After securing the files, he and Da Huang quietly left Secretary Huang's home.
Exiting a residential community like this was much easier than entering, at least when taking the elevator, as there was no need for an access card.
He continued to block the surveillance cameras the entire time. The security guard was still asleep, which showed that the residents of the community were quite kind.
They generally wouldn't wake the security guard but would take a photo to report the incident, fully demonstrating a perfect blend of humanity and institutionalization.
After leaving the community, Chen Nan and Da Huang took a taxi away. He didn't go directly to his own district but walked several streets before returning to his residence.
Back in his own bed, Chen Nan lay spread out like a starfish, finally feeling the softness of his entire body.
The entire process could be described as very uneventful, but if any single step had gone wrong, it could have been fatal for him.
It was like walking on the edge of a cliff after the rain; a slight misstep would leave no trace of his remains.
This lingering fear, coupled with staying up so late, had left him starving.
He cooked instant noodles with an egg and ham, and a delicious dinner washed away all his discomfort. The moment he finished eating and stood up, his vision suddenly went black again.
Against the black backdrop, the same radiance from last time flashed once more.
When he regained consciousness, he was already on the ground. This time, however, his nose was bleeding.
The blood on his hand felt cold, making Chen Nan's heart turn cold as well.
What was going on? Did this body really have some kind of illness? He thought of leukemia, a highly prevalent malignant blood disease in children.
Had he really contracted a similar disease? If so, what was the point of living?
