Chapter 1039: Science and Technology Brings Happiness

“Shengtang Morgan’s real headquarters?”

E-Goat was skeptical when Qiu Ming said that the Shengtang Morgan’s fifth-floor building was merely decoration. It was not until he saw the strange giant ship-like building before him that he finally believed the latter.

“But why did Morgan build their headquarters in such a hidden place? In any case, New Shanghai 0297 is their territory. Isn’t it better to just openly work in the building?”

“It’s inconvenient we disclose our work to the ordinary people outside,” Qiu Ming said. “The reason why we’re hiding here is for everyone’s good. What do you say? Are you ready to go in together?”

It was fine if he didn’t mention it, but once he did, E-Goat couldn’t help but become nervous. The main reason for his anxiety was that the geographical location of this building was so hidden, and it was apparent that it was a highly confidential place. In addition, judging by the occupied area and busy traffic flow, it seemed that the place should’ve been crowded. On the other hand, there were only two people on their side.

Although Zhang Heng had excellent skills, E-Goat wasn’t naive enough to think that Zhang Heng alone could pick off the entire Shengtang Morgan base. In other words, once their identities were exposed, it was highly likely that they would end up dead. Thus, not only would they not be able to save Xu Qian, but they would also die inside.

However, the power of love knew no bounds. Thinking about how Xu Qian’s life and death were unknown, E-Goat felt that they had to go and explore regardless of whether it was a dragon or tiger’s den ahead. However, to be on the safe side, he asked again, “I’m not a clone. So if Shengtang Morgan finds out, they shouldn’t do anything to me, right? At most, I’ll be kicked out and fined a bit more, right?”

Qiu Ming looked at E-Goat with a strange expression. He stared at him for a long time before tactfully saying, “I’m afraid... It’s not that simple. Once you enter the door in front of you, your whole life will change. But, of course, the prerequisite is that you have to be able to come out of it.”

“Otherwise, how are you going to treat me?”

“To be honest, I don’t know. There’s never been such a precedent before. But, no, that’s not right either. There was this once when an outsider entered the headquarters...”

“And then?”

“Then, he became one of us,” Qiu Ming continued.

“Don’t worry, I won’t join you guys’ dirty work,” E-Goat said. “We’re not interested in what Shengtang Morgan is doing here. We’ll leave after we rescue Xu Qian, so hurry up and lead the way.”

Upon hearing this, Qiu Ming did not say anything else. He drove down the hill and all the way to the parking lot outside the gate.

After the three of them got out of the car, Zhang Heng placed the gun’s muzzle on Qiu Ming’s waist and covered it with his clothes. “Don’t say a word,” he warned, “and don’t make any gestures or expressions that will cause misunderstandings.”

“Understood.” Qiu Ming nodded. Then, he passed two small five by ten-centimeter boxes to Zhang Heng and E-Goat. “The fingers are inside. You can take it out if you need it later. “Don’t look around and don’t wander around. Pin your work card on your chest. Don’t worry. There are lots of employees inside. Most people won’t look at the photo on the work card. Also, we have an agreement. I will only help you find Xu Qian. It’s none of my business whether she wants to go with you or not.”

“Are you kidding me? Even if I’ve followed her before, it’s impossible she won’t come with us in this situation, right?”.

Qiu Ming shrugged. After Zhang Heng and E-Goat were ready, the three of them walked out of the door.

It was probably because they had already gone through two security checks that Qiu Ming’s wristband was detected this time. Thus, there was no need for any additional operations as the door automatically opened to both sides.

However, Qiu Ming then reminded the two of them, “This door is easy to enter but hard to exit. When you want to leave, you must not walk out directly. It will trigger the alarm. You need to register your fingerprints and scan your work ID on the machine over there first.” Qiu Ming pointed to an object that looked like an attendance machine inside the door.

Although E-Goat had chosen the hero’s path, saving the damsel in distress, it would be a lie to say that he was not nervous. Especially after entering the huge ship-like building complex, his heart rate had already climbed all the way to 120, almost like after a round of intense exercise.

Fortunately, E-Goat saw no men with hatchets waiting to ambush him.

The first thing that came into his sight was a blue marble wall with the Shengtang Morgan’s company logo printed on it, as well as a slogan—”technology brings happiness.”

The wall of the entire hall was actually composed of a giant curved screen. With no splices in the middle, and coupled with the mirror-like floor under his feet, it would cause incomparable cultural shock to anyone.

The curved screen played the history of the Shengtang Morgan Corporation; its inception, born from the ruins of the war, to how it defeated its competitors step by step, then won over its allies, looked for political allies, before finally growing into an unprecedented business behemoth.

In front of the wall was a streamlined front desk. Two young girls sporting the best figures, dressed in professional attire, stood at the back. They looked like a pair of twins, save for a mole at the corner of one of their mouths. Other than that, there was almost no difference in their facial features. They looked like mirror images of each other. They were both absolute beauties.

Standing in the spacious and Bright Hall, they greeted Qiu Ming with a smile when they saw him. “Commissioner Qiu, Why Are You Here?” they chirped. “Didn’t you say that you would apply for a week’s leave after this job is done?”

As they spoke, their gazes fell on Zhang Heng and E-Goat, who were behind Qiu Ming. Although they also greeted him politely, a hint of confusion marred their eyes. It was evident that the two left little impression on them.

Just as they were about to turn their gaze to the work passes on their chests to see what their names were, Qiu Ming unexpectedly took over the conversation. As expected of a professional actor disguising as an eligible bachelor to bait his target, he still appeared calm and composed even though he was being held hostage with a pistol at his waist. From his appearance, it was impossible to tell that he was nervous at all. He was also a pathological liar.

“Of course, I wanted to rest. I had already booked a hotel and entertainment program, but I just received a notification that a Level 4 incident had happened. I rushed back with my two equally unlucky friends.”

After hearing the words ‘Level 4 incident’, the smiles on the two receptionist’s faces faded slightly. They no longer had time to pay attention to the origins of Zhang Heng and E-Goat. Furthermore, the three of them had already passed the previous inspection and were here now. “In that case, we won’t disturb your work anymore,” they ended with a nod.

“Of course not. I can’t wait to be disturbed by you guys every day.”

Qiu Ming winked at the two girls after he said that. Then, he led Zhang Heng and E-Goat to the center of the hall. After the three of them had sound footing, one of the girls tapped twice on the screen before her, and the floor beneath their feet began to sink.
