571 Tea Talk (1/2)
-NBIR Headquarters-
Intelligence Division...
Yan Ying's eyes were stuck to the screen of the computer while she held her head in both of her hands. The information before her was very detailed. Chen Xiu's mother slash manager; Chen Hana's life history was displayed before her. The only problem was that it lacked exactly what she had been looking for; Chen Hana's current location!
”You're telling me we are not able to track a civilian?” Ying's voice was low, dangerously low as her eyes lifted up and moved over every face in the room. ”We are one of the best intelligence teams in all of Asia! Bloody hell! You're making us lose face here!”
”Team Leader, it's not that we can't locate the normal civilian. The issue is that the civilian isn't in our country for the past three years. Chen Hana took a flight to Thailand three years ago and she never returned.”
Ying took a deep breath to calm herself and said, ”Isn't her maternal family from Thailand? That makes it very easy to find her!”
”Actually, we have already checked. There is no living person in her maternal family.”
”Then why did she go to Thailand?” questioned Ying.
”How would we know that? But since she never took any flight back that means, she is still in Thailand.”
”Great! That makes it easy for us to find her.” Ying jumped up to her feet with a newfound vigor and a lead.
”Investigator Yan, are you purposely forgetting that there are many islands in Thailand that don't even have the access to electricity. That means no internet as well. We can't get any information unless...”
”Dispatch the field agents,” instructed Ying without hesitation. Seeing them hesitating, she asked, ”What now? Can't I even depend on field agents now?”
”Team Leader, we can't dispatch any member of the team unless there is an official order from the higher-ups. For now, this mission had been assigned by you. All we did had already gone against the rules.”
”Oh, that's the problem...” Thinking about it, she turned around to head towards the door saying, ”You guys decide who is taking on this mission. I'm gonna go get that permission letter.”
”Roger that!”
Yan Ying was about to head towards Xin Zimen's office but halfway through changed her direction and went over to Director Su's office instead. Knocking twice, she headed in and saw her aunt sipping on her tea languidly.
”Having fun, Feifei?” teased Ying.
”Did you lost your way, dear niece? Your godfather's office is on the other side of the hallway.”
Ying didn't mind her remark as she sat down without waiting to be asked to sit down and even poured herself some tea saying, ”I originally wanted to see my godfather but I thought my aunt is also resourceful.”
”Lonely? Don't you always say you married your work?”
Su Feifei narrowed her eyes at her dearest niece as she said, ”You always have an answer for everything, eh?”
”Thank you! I believe you taught me well.”
Shaking her head Su Feifei put her cup down elegantly and asked, ”What is it? How can this aunt be of help?”
”I want to dispatch some field agents for a personal mission. Can you sign the permission letter?”
