With Secretary Huang looking after him, Da Huang received rather good treatment from the security guards. They practically saw him off through the residential community gates as though he were their own friend.
Da Huang had originally needed to return and report to Chen Nan anyway, so he naturally came back at once.
Soon, man and dog met again. To obtain the freshest information, Chen Nan connected with Da Huang's spiritual world. Everything Da Huang had seen was projected into Chen Nan's mind, and Chen Nan basically understood the situation.
Obtaining the basic information was only the first step. Chen Nan took Da Huang back to his own district by taxi.
After lunch, Chen Nan brought Da Huang back to his residence alone and began training him.
Dogs on Earth were not stupid to begin with, and dogs on Kabudan Planet were exceptionally intelligent as well. Moreover, Chen Nan's training was carried out entirely through the spiritual realm. In less than two days, Da Huang had been trained to understand human nature.
That day, Chen Nan gave Da Huang a thorough bath, issued his orders, and sent him out alone.
Because their minds were connected, Chen Nan was certain that Da Huang still remembered Secretary Huang's residence. This time, he wanted Da Huang to infiltrate his home and, preferably, remain there as an undercover agent.
Da Huang once again waited for Secretary Huang to get off work, then followed his car into the residential community.
Secretary Huang was in a good mood that day as well. The moment he got out of the car, he saw Da Huang squatting there, wagging his tail pitifully at him.
"Oh, you're here again?" Secretary Huang liked dogs because he had learned much from them, allowing him to rise to his current position.
He squatted down. Seeing that Da Huang was very clean, he stroked him and said, "What is it? Haven't you eaten?"
Da Huang bounced about happily and kept nodding at him.
Secretary Huang smiled. "All right, then. Follow me."
He got up and waited for the elevator, while Da Huang waited obediently at his side. When the elevator arrived, man and dog entered together. Secretary Huang pressed the button for the thirteenth floor, and the elevator began rising swiftly.
When they reached the thirteenth floor, Secretary Huang unlocked the door and brought Da Huang inside.
"You're back?" the mistress of the house called out. Then a beautiful married woman appeared. "Oh my, you brought another dog home?"
Da Huang immediately knelt on his hind legs, pressed his front paws together as if in salute, and kept bowing to the mistress with a fawning expression. This made her laugh coquettishly. "This dog has your style from back then."
Secretary Huang closed the door and smiled. "That's called high emotional intelligence. Without such high emotional intelligence, how could one survive in officialdom? All right, take this inside. That file is still locked in the safe."
The mistress took the black briefcase from him and teased, "You have an entire safe full of files. Do you still need to watch people's expressions?"
Secretary Huang smiled with a touch of smugness. "Emotional intelligence, emotional intelligence! Oh, right. Is our daughter back?"
As she walked away, the mistress said, "She isn't coming back. She's staying at her grandmother's house. Isn't tomorrow Sunday? She wants to relax over there."
Secretary Huang took off his shoes. Da Huang immediately followed the scent, found his slippers, and carried them over to place them at his feet.
Secretary Huang froze for a moment, then burst into hearty laughter. He was even more satisfied with Da Huang now.
Just like that, Da Huang blended into the family. In the blink of an eye, five days passed.
During those five days, Chen Nan practically holed up at his residence, using the listening device attached to Da Huang to eavesdrop on Secretary Huang's household. Thus, he basically confirmed that what he needed was inside Secretary Huang's safe.
However, Da Huang had no way to steal those documents for him. It seemed Chen Nan could only act himself.
Over the past few days, Chen Nan's sense of crisis had also grown increasingly intense. More than once, he had discovered suspicious individuals nearby.
They were all unfamiliar faces. Their clothing and appearance did not fit this district at all. Based on the results of the dogs he had sent to track them, Chen Nan had roughly determined that those people had come looking for him.
With this pressure mounting, Chen Nan could only quicken his pace.
That night, Chen Nan began moving. He possessed an advantage those searching for him did not: unlike them, he could keep track of their movements at all times.
Ever since learning those people had arrived, Chen Nan had remained hidden in the shadows, using stray dogs to monitor them.
Before heading out this time, he thoroughly inspected the outside environment. Only after confirming there was no danger did he leave.
He did not dare hail a taxi nearby. Instead, he took the dogs with him, scouting as he headed toward the center of Wu City. Only after walking across several streets did he catch a taxi to his destination.
When he arrived outside Jiahao Residential Community, he saw that the electric barred gate had already closed. The side gates on either side required a card to open, so Chen Nan's only option was to climb over the barred gate.
The gate was only a little over a meter high, so climbing over it was no problem. The only issue was that the security guard stationed at the gate watched it around the clock.
Having reached this point, Chen Nan had no other choice. He could only use his power again.
First, he controlled two gray sparrows that had flown near him and ordered them to block the surveillance cameras at the entrance. Then he fixed his gaze on the guard and sent an order through his mind: Sleep! Sleep!
Though a headache pricked at him, the guard did not even see Chen Nan's face clearly before collapsing into his chair and falling asleep.
The residential community was very quiet at night, with no one around. Chen Nan swiftly climbed over the bars and entered the community.
Chen Nan summoned the two gray sparrows over, having them continuously block the cameras while he slipped toward the elevator used by Secretary Huang.
This elevator also required a card, so Chen Nan could only wait there. He refused to believe he would be so unlucky that nobody would use the elevator all night.
Before long, someone returned and happened to approach the elevator. Chen Nan immediately stepped forward and asked, "Auntie, I forgot my access card. Could you take me into the elevator?"
The plump woman smiled. "It's fine, little one. Come with Auntie."
Being a child really made things easy. No one would be suspicious.
Chen Nan still ordered the gray sparrows to fly into the elevator first and block the camera before entering himself.
"What floor is your home on, little one?" the plump woman asked.
"The thirteenth floor, Auntie," Chen Nan answered.
The plump woman pressed buttons for the thirteenth and twenty-sixth floors. When they reached the thirteenth floor, the gray sparrows came out with Chen Nan. There were no cameras in the hallway, so Chen Nan ordered the sparrows to wait there while he went to Secretary Huang's door.
Chen Nan had already contacted Da Huang, and Secretary Huang's family had fallen asleep. He first had Da Huang unplug the indoor surveillance cameras, then had him open the door. Chen Nan slipped into the house.
Secretary Huang's home had to be around two hundred square meters. It was extraordinarily spacious and grand.
The safe was kept in a small storage room. Chen Nan headed straight for it and quickly found the safe. That was the downside of a large house.
The family had shut their bedroom doors and gone to sleep. No matter how carefully Chen Nan moved outside, they did not react in the slightest.
Facing the safe, Chen Nan stood with Da Huang beside him, and their spiritual connection opened again. Every scene of the mistress opening the safe was projected from Da Huang's mind into his own.
Viewing the process of opening the safe from a dog's perspective was indeed rather taxing, but after trying several times, Chen Nan still managed to open it.
Inside the safe were gold, diamonds, gemstones, and some strange currencies along with Qingyang Coins. Apart from those, individual file bags were stored in a separate compartment.
Chen Nan casually pulled out one file, opened it, and roughly examined it using his phone's light. What he saw made Chen Nan let out a long breath. His plans over these past days had not gone down the drain after all.
This proved that his judgment had been correct, or perhaps that his luck was not too bad.
Besides some written documents, the file bag also contained something similar to a USB drive. Chen Nan could roughly guess what would be inside.
There were too many file bags for him to take them all, so he sifted through them. In the end, he selected two files. Those two files were enough to send the Wu City Prefecture Office to prison. That was sufficient.
After putting away the files, he took Da Huang and quietly left Secretary Huang's home.
In a residential community like this, getting out was far easier than getting in. At the very least, taking the elevator did not require an access card.
The cameras remained blocked the entire way, while the security guard had yet to wake up. It showed that the residents of the community were fairly kindhearted.
They generally would not wake the guard. Instead, they would take a photo and report him, fully displaying the perfect union of humanity and institutionalization.
After leaving the residential community, Chen Nan took a taxi away with Da Huang. He still did not go directly into his own district, and only returned to his residence after walking across several streets.
Once back in his bed, Chen Nan lay spread out in the shape of the character "big," and only then did he feel that his entire body had gone soft.
The entire process could be called exceedingly uneventful, but if anything had gone wrong at any stage, it could have been fatal for him.
He had been like someone walking beside a cliff after the rain. One careless step, and he would have been smashed to pieces, leaving not even bones behind.
That delayed fear, coupled with having struggled until so late, left him starving.
He cooked instant noodles with eggs and ham. A fine late-night meal washed away all his discomfort. Yet the instant he stood after finishing, his vision suddenly went dark again.
Against that blackened backdrop, the brilliance that had appeared last time flashed once more.
When he regained consciousness, he was already on the floor. This time, however, blood was flowing from his nose.
The nosebleed fell onto his hand, cold enough to make Chen Nan's heart turn cold as well.
What exactly was going on? Could this body truly have some illness? He thought of leukemia, a malignant blood disease with a relatively high incidence among children.
Could I really have a similar illness? If that's the case, what kind of life is left to live?
