Chapter 90 - The brothers he never talked about

Security came pouring into the dungeons cells where Shen Moshi's enemies and lapdogs were incarcerated.

Some had been there for years.

Some had only been there a few weeks. Like James.

The tunnels in this bas.e.m.e.nts contained prison cells holding one person in each one. Each prisoner was as deadly as the next.

But some were in a league of their own.

That's why they were down there. Because if they got out...

all hell would break lose.

*******************************

Shen was sleeping soundly on his armchair in the study. He had remained peaceful, unaware of the dire situation at the capital city office bas.e.m.e.nt.

Ayu wanted to handle the situation quietly and quickly and chose not to inform Shen about it immediately. She knew he had been busy with the Lim family and the business with them, and this would only exacerbate his situation.

"Security Team A, fan out and search the entire 5 km radius around our office buildings. Pull the fire alarms discretely in all the other buildings around to get the employees out and then sneak in to search their offices."

As Ayu barked these orders, she knew the risks.

If anyone found out that they were looking for the deadly, escaped enemy of Shen Moshi, they'd line up to protect him.

If they could, every powerful company would want to take Shen down. He was the biggest, baddest wolf and everyone wanted a piece of his power.

"Security Team B, lock down the entire Moshi Corp capital city office buildings and turn it inside out! We are looking for Shao Moshi, I repeat, HIGH ALERT."

Her warnings didn't come lightly.

The Moshi brothers were as vicious as they came.

Intelligence and ruthlessness ran in their blood.

If they didn't catch Shao Moshi in the first few hours he managed to escape, they would likely never find him.

And then, only Shen could remedy the situation, with more trouble than it took defeating him for control over the company in the first place.

Then, Ayu shoved James by his collar and dragged him to a the security surveillance room at the Moshi Corp building.

"You have two tasks today, James. If you do them well, without complaint, you will be rewarded." Ayu spoke to the dog of a man icily.

She had no patience for him, and just wanted him to do as she order right now.

"OOhhhaaHH" James answered, dumbly, agreeing reluctantly.

"The first task is to hack into the city cam surveillance around the Moshi Corp Offices. I need to track someone. Don't forget the parking area cameras. It doesn't end there, I need you to run a program that tracks any uploads to the internet by civilians who have been in this area, even if it means invading their privacy by tracking private cell GPS."

James looked at her strangely.

Even for him, the things Ayu was demanding, were time consuming and took very long to accomplish.

"What are you looking at me like that for, you dumb bastard! DO IT, NOW!" she growled, angry that he wasn't grasping the urgency of the situation.

"Ooohaah?" James responded, dumbly, a glare in his eye. He was also angry at being continually mistreated by a mere subordinate of Shen Moshi.

Ayu realised he was asking about the second task.

She slapped a photo of Victor Tachibana, given to her by Shen from when he came into the Moshi Mansion as the assistant of Dr. Yoshi.

"Find him. Run a facial recognition software and collect all sightings, anywhere in the world, in any year since his existence was recorded of this man."

James sighed.

His hands quickly typed code on the computer in front of him. He scanned the photo of Tachi and input it into the software he pulled up.

He ran an age progression software backward simultaneously so that any sightings of Tachi as younger boy or young man would be pinged in his net from years ago.

As he let that program run, he began hacking into the security cams to look for Shao Moshi with Ayu glued to his side.

**************

At 9:30 am exactly, a smart, black Lamborghini pulled up at the main entrance of a modern-looking, office building.

A slim, beautiful woman, in a smart business suit stepped out.

The security guards gasped and stared at her as she walked towards the main entrance, bowing in greeting as their big boss walked in after long months.

Her hair was done neatly in a low bun, accentuating her delicate facial features.

Light make up lit up her sparkling, big eyes as she walked in the front doors.

"Boss! You've arrived!"

Mei greeted Lina at the entrance of the office building, with a stack of files in her arms.

"Meimei!" Lina smiled. "Do you have everything I asked for?"

"Yes, boss! These are the files containing the briefs and data on our top three cases."

Lina's eyes quickly scanned the files.

One was an issue with the building of a dam at a river flowing through two neighbouring countries in perpetual conflict.

This was handled by the environment and resource management team.

The second issue was to do with rigged elections in a small European country. There was a special team from the consultancy put together for this internal conflict.

The third issue interested Lina the most.

"Country A..." she muttered under her breath.

An 'interested party' was seeking her Consultancy's services to deal with an internal matter of government. There was an intra-party crises, and reliable news that Country A was preparing a full-fledged attack abroad.

She looked up at Mei.

"I want to meet the team for the Country A issue immediately. Prepone the noon meeting with this team."

Mei's eyes were filled with worry.

Work had been progressing as normal with this project. The team was highly competent and primarily from their investigative department.

She understood that this was a pressing issue, but Lina's tone pressed the sense of urgency.

Something was off about this case with Country A.

Had boss been working on it before her coma?
