Apocalypse: The Supporting Actress Made a Comeback novel Chapter 10

Chapter 10: 008 A task

The loudspeaker crackled to life with a low male voice, sounding a bit impatient, "What's up?"

The young man immediately responded, "Boss, I saw an interesting post, I'm sending it to you!" As he spoke, he opened the chat window and sent the link over.

About a minute later, the male voice from the speaker commanded, "Find out who posted it."

The young man was already on it, and in less than a minute, he had traced the IP address of the poster. He said, "The post was made from a dark internet cafe in Market. The person must have been very cautious. But this makes the content of the post all the more intriguing."

The voice spoke again, "Hmm, this person definitely knows something. Erase your tracks, don't let anyone trace it back to us. Also, send me the address of that internet cafe and check the local surveillance, see if we can find this person."

It took a bit longer this time, nearly ten minutes, before the young man found a few photos from the surveillance footage. He sent the photos along and said, "Boss, this person is really cautious, dresses up like a man, has disguised their face, and kept their head down the whole time, never letting the cameras catch a full face shot."

Seconds later, the voice came with unassailable authority, "She's a woman, and she definitely knows something. Check the other surveillance cameras in the area, see if you can find her. Also, wipe the surveillance of any traces, I don't want anyone else seeing this."

The young man said with a snicker, "I knew it was a woman! Don't worry, Boss, I, Hou San, will definitely help you find this little beauty! Heh heh heh~~~~" _{freēwēbnovel.com}

However, as the search continued, the figure vanished from all surveillance, disappearing in a busy area with lots of people and cars. It was as if finding her was as hard as scaling the heavens. Clearly, she had been well-prepared!

Hou San had no choice but to erase all traces from the surveillance and then report back the results. The 'Boss' didn't say much more, and at that moment his phone beeped with a text message. Upon reading the content, his face darkened.

Hou San didn't see it, but he could sense something was off and asked worriedly, "Boss? What's wrong? Is it because of that text just now?"

The man, not in the best mood, answered, "Yeah, the main house wants me to come over, there's a new task."

Hou San, hearing this, instantly grew irritable, "Damn it, is it that bastard Bai Yu with his pretty-boy face causing trouble again?"

Without a reply, the man's silence served as affirmation.

Hou San advised, "Boss, if you ask me, just don't bother with them anymore. Bunch of bastards, not a single good one among them! Especially that bastard Bai Yu, how much trouble has he caused us already? That guy's no good at all!"

But the man said, "I'll go have a look first. This is the last task of the year, and if it's not troublesome, I'll take it. Then I'll be free for the second half of the year."

Hou San wanted to persuade him further but stopped upon hearing this. The tasks they got, weren't they always troublesome? Even if the tasks themselves weren't problematic, with that bastard Bai Yu involved, they could become dozens of times more so! Yet, as the man said, this was indeed the last task of the year, and after that, they'd be free for the latter half. So he didn't try to dissuade him any further.
