Forced by the invisible pressure and expectations, Deng Fan swept a glance across everyone, and in the end, agreed in all seriousness: "Okay, I agree to let you participate in this basketball game, but I will only be a substitute, and will only be participating when it's necessary, is there a problem?"

"Substitute?" Ah Yin said puzzledly, "We feel that you are more suited to fighting against the main force!"

"Yeah, why not the main force?"

"Let's just focus on the main force!"

"We all believe in you!"

"Whether you can be proud or not depends on you!"

Everyone kept talking.

Everyone, quiet!" Deng Fan made a hand gesture and said, "I already said that I will only be a substitute. I will only appear when necessary. If you feel that there is a problem, then I can only withdraw.

"Please don't quit. A substitute should just be a substitute!" Someone immediately urged him to stay.

"That's right, our ambition is to participate. At the very least, we have more confidence in you." Someone said so.

"Alright, it's decided. When will the match start?" Deng Fan glanced at the crowd and asked.

"It will start in a few days. To be exact, it should be another three days!" Wang Ming replied enthusiastically.

Just then, Huo Wu appeared. She shouted with her loud and clear voice: "One or two of you, don't you need to work? Go back to your workstations! "

Seeing that the director had arrived, everyone immediately dispersed and returned to their stations. In the blink of an eye, only Deng Fan was left standing still on the spot, not moving at all.

"Deng Fan, what are you waiting for? Why aren't you going back to work?" Huo Wu stared at Deng Fan and ordered coldly.

"Yes sir!" Deng Fan stuck out his chest and saluted to Huo Wu.

That night, after Deng Fan finished his work, he first sent the First Miss home and then went back to the company without anyone noticing, because he prepared to carry out a secret operation.

Before the operation, he had done all the preparations. He had also put on his night clothes, which were completely wrapped up, leaving only his eyes exposed.

This was a secret operation, so naturally, he couldn't just swagger in.

Around 10pm, Deng Fan climbed over the wall and entered the company while wearing his night attire. Along the way, he used his agility to avoid numerous cameras and guards, and then sneaked into the electric room to cut off the power supply to the building. Then, he slipped into the building and ran up to the top floor on foot.

He was sure that it would take the electrician some time to repair the electricity, so he could make full use of this vacuum time to do a lot of things.

Deng Fan knew about the environment of the big house since a long time ago. Other than the restricted area which he was unfamiliar with, the rest of the corners looked familiar.

His plan was to infiltrate the chairman's office, download the information from the chairman's computer, and explore the unknown later.

As there was no electricity, even if the camera was still active, there were no records in the control room, which made it very convenient for Deng Fan.

Very quickly, Deng Fan arrived at the door of the chairman's office. After confirming that there was no one around, he started to crack the password.

Deng Fan was still extremely familiar with this kind of password, it was only a matter of time before he would break it.

Not long after, he successfully opened the password, secretly glad that it wasn't unlocked by fingerprint or voice control, or else he might have stopped in his tracks.

Entering the chairman's office, Deng Fan first closed the door to his room, using the light from his watch to inspect the room, after confirming that there was no threat, he quickly went to the desk and turned on the computer.

Although the power supply had been cut off, the computer was connected to a backup power supply, so it could still be switched on normally.

The system had indeed added in the password, which was not too difficult for Deng Fan.

He immediately took out a USB drive and inserted it into the mainframe. He then began to decipher the boot password.

Very quickly, Deng Fan cracked the password, and successfully logged into the system. He then started to download the data from the hard disk of the computer.

Time passed minute by minute, second by second, Deng Fan could not help but become anxious, because he reckoned that the power would be restored soon, and his whereabouts would very likely be discovered.

He saw that the download speed on the computer screen had reached 90%. He was only 10% away from stopping.

At that moment, the door suddenly creaked open!

There was someone else coming in at this time?

Who would come in?

Deng Fan did not think anymore and immediately stopped the download, ready to leave anytime.

The next moment, he saw a person wearing a black nightgown enter the room. From the looks of it, the person was very tall and should be a man.

The black clothed man took advantage of the faint moonlight to look around him. He quickly discovered where Deng Fan was.

The man was shocked, he immediately stood up and rushed towards Deng Fan's location.

"Who are you?" Deng Fan faked a shout to the black clothed man and stood up from behind his desk.

After the black clothed man heard this, without saying a word, he immediately took the initiative and struck towards Deng Fan.

Deng Fan did not expect the black-clothed man to be so aggressive, he anxiously avoided the attack, and followed up with a kick to his chest.

This kick was extremely famous. Its strength and speed were both extraordinary. It was intended to defeat the opponent in one strike and end the battle as quickly as possible.

What surprised Deng Fan was that the black clothed man did not dodge.

With a "bo" sound, his fists and feet collided with each other, creating a powerful shockwave!

The two of them were forced back a few steps, and they were secretly shocked at the same time!

"This person actually has inner force?" Deng Fan thought, "Looks like he is an expert, how about we retreat for now, and not waste time talking to him!"

The black-clothed man took Deng Fan's kung fu and retreated. He stared at Deng Fan for a while, then turned and quickly somersaulted a few times on the ground, then disappeared from the room.

Seeing the black-clothed man running away, Deng Fan did not bother to chase after him and was hesitating on whether or not he should continue downloading the unfinished data. Right at this moment, the electricity suddenly recovered, and the lights on the corridor suddenly lit up.

Deng Fan knew that he had to leave, otherwise, there would be unnecessary trouble.

However, just as he was preparing to return, he suddenly heard hurried voices coming from outside!

"Catch him! Don't let him get away!"

"Who is it? Stop right there!"

Deng Fan heard these sounds, and thought that the black-clothed man who had barged in earlier had been discovered by the security, so he could no longer turn back the way he came. The only way was to jump down from the window!

This was the top floor of the building. Even a person who knew Qing Gong would be smashed into smithereens if they jumped from such a high place.

However, Deng Fan had come prepared, and had calculated all possible troubles that would arise. He pulled out a slender rope from his waist, threw it from the window to the roof, hooked onto the railing above, and then closed the window from the outside. Then, he used the rope to slowly descend down the wall.

Very quickly, Deng Fan entered the building through an open window. He then put away the rope, and went from the stairs that were not monitored by the cameras to the Engineering Department on the ninth floor. He had prepared a suitcase in the bathroom to change his clothes, and it was now in use. He went into the bathroom and quickly changed out of his night clothes. He put in the downloadable hard drive and walked out the front door of the company in his formal attire, as if nothing had happened.

After returning to the hotel safely, Deng Fan couldn't wait to open his personal computer and begin researching the "spoils of war" he had stolen from the chairman's office tonight.

After some investigation, the result made Deng Fan a little depressed, because he did not find any research projects related to biochemical weapons. However, some of the research that he could not identify had caught his attention.

In the end, he could only send all the information to Xiao Li and let him find a professional to investigate.

After receiving the information provided by Deng Fan, Xiao Li was extremely excited, and expressed his high praise to Deng Fan.

"Well done, I managed to dig out the company's top secret documents so quickly." Xiao Li who was on the phone said so.

"But there was an accident." Deng Fan said, "I only downloaded 90% of the information, so I still haven't downloaded 10% yet."

"Why?"

"Because, in the middle of the journey, a person named Cheng Ya Jin appeared." Deng Fan said.

"Who is it?"

"A mysterious man in black." Deng Fan recalled and said, "I think he is the same as me, hiding within the company, waiting for an opportunity to steal our secret, and he is an expert at it too."

"You fought with him?"

"Not only did they exchange blows, they even fought to a draw." Deng Fan said.

"I can actually tie with you? "That person is truly extraordinary. He simply possesses an extraordinary origin."

"Yes, his skill is not necessarily inferior to mine." Deng Fan said in all seriousness, "I am sure, he is also a person who cultivates the Ancient Martial Arts."

"There aren't many people that can practice ancient martial arts, you can be considered an equal match." Xiao Li said.

"This is truly a plan that cannot be calculated by the heavens. The mission this time has been a failure."

"Don't be so dejected. Perhaps the information you provided me contained a lot of valuable clues." Xiao Li said.

"Let's hope so!" Deng Fan said unhappily, "I will continue to follow up. I plan to go to the company's forbidden area to explore for a bit in a few days, and see what secrets are hidden inside."

"The company forbidden zone?"

"Yes, I only found out recently that there is an area in the company that forbids employees from entering. It's been sealed for a long time, I think there must be something fishy going on inside." Deng Fan pondered and said.

"Well, indeed." Xiao Li said, "But I think we should let it go for now! If the pace is too fast, I'm afraid that your identity will be exposed. I'll first study the information you sent me, then contact you later. "

"I understand, I will be careful." Deng Fan said.

"Did you leave any traces of your work this time?" Xiao Li cautiously asked.

"I don't think so." Deng Fan said, "But that mysterious black clothed man alarmed the security guards."

"That was an uncontrollable accident. I can't blame you." Xiao Li said, "But I think after tonight, the company will be more vigilant, so it will be even more difficult for you to move around in the future."

"No matter how difficult it is, I have my ways of dealing with it. You don't need to worry about me." Deng Fan said confidently.

"It's not that I don't believe you. I just want to remind you that you must be careful in all matters, because you cannot fail this mission."

"I understand. The country's business is my business. Even if I have to risk my life, I must ensure that the mission is completed."

"In fact, this isn't just a matter of the country, it is also a matter of the world. If the virus were to spread out, the consequences would be unimaginable." Xiao Li said.

"I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly. Just wait for my good news." Deng Fan said.

"Alright, then let's leave it at this for now. You should hurry up and go to sleep. It's been hard on you today." After Xiao Li finished speaking, he retracted the thread.
