Chapter 2273: Chapter 2272: Following the Trail

Yelena was truly cooperative, spilling everything she knew like beans from a bamboo tube!

Ling Feng and Ah Min, after listening to her narrative, were somewhat shocked and exchanged a glance.

It turned out that Brad and the others were just the tip of the Iceberg exposed above the water; there was an immensely large organization underneath!

Compared to that tip of the Iceberg, the organization underwater was simply too vast!

Ling Feng smiled wryly and said to Ah Min, "I told you, the Restarters can’t just be a few people!"

From Yelena’s account, it was revealed that Brad and the others were merely the lowest tier of the Restarters, tasked with roles similar to frontline combatants, and thus most prone to exposure and abandonment!

Due to his and others’ disappearance, the Restarters were forced to start looking for new candidates, and Cid became one of the targets.

The higher-ups of the Restarters needed people who could work and understood technology, so Cid naturally became a key recruit.

According to Yelena’s account, the organizational structure of the Restarters was divided into four layers, with Brad and others at the Fourth Layer, while she belonged to the Third Layer, responsible for logistical support and recruitment.

As for the Second Layer, it was Yelena’s direct superior, who issued orders and formulated various plans.

The true leaders of the Restarters were the First Layer, and concerning who they were or their numbers, she had no right to know.

Ling Feng sneered after hearing all this: "Such a tightly-knit organizational structure, one layer suppressing another, is indeed not easily exposed!"

Then he continued, laughing: "But unfortunately, having such immense power is not something ordinary people can achieve; apart from the world’s power-crazy political figures, or gigantic economic tycoons, who else could manage it?"

"Yes, even combined, these people are just a few thousand; no matter how deep they hide, they can be dug out!" Ah Min nodded and said.

Ling Feng acknowledged with a nod, looking at Yelena: "So, you know only your superior, but not how many people are at your level, correct?"

"Yes!"

Yelena nodded and continued: "I’m only responsible to him; as for who else is at the Third Layer with me, I am not clear."

"Hm, very good!" 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Ling Feng smiled and glanced at Cid.

The boy had been listening, dumbfounded, his eyes full of shock and fear; if he could move, his jaw might have fallen.

They had already learned enough, including the name of Yelena’s superior, and could trace further up the hierarchy to capture them.

But Ling Feng thought it over and said to her and Cid: "I don’t want to alarm the snake right now, so I need you to cooperate!"

"Mr. Ling, please tell me; I certainly wouldn’t dare refuse what I can do!" Yelena said.

Ling Feng examined her closely and saw genuine sincerity in her eyes, so he nodded: "Good, what I want you to do is to maintain the current situation without any abnormal reactions, until I sort out who the Second Layer and First Layer of the Restarters are!"

"Once the net is cast, your task will be completed!"

Upon hearing this, Yelena nearly didn’t hesitate, immediately nodding: "Fine, I can do that!"

Ling Feng looked at her without speaking.

One’s heart, relying solely on words, cannot guarantee that what is said will be done.

So, after smiling, Ling Feng rose and approached her: "Then let’s wish for a pleasant cooperation, without any unexpected incidents!"

Seeing Ling Feng extend his hand, Yelena also extended hers to shake it.

At this moment, Ling Feng suddenly asked: "You really won’t leak today’s events?"

"Ah?"

Yelena was startled, quickly nodding: "I truly won’t!"

Through the Mind Soul Art, Ling Feng saw her thoughts, which indeed matched what she said.

He felt somewhat relieved, thinking it should be sufficient for now.

Then he turned to Cid, approached, and unlocked his acupressure point, then asked: "What about you?"

"I...."

Cid swallowed, quickly said: "This has nothing to do with me in the first place, I certainly won’t go out and blabber!"

"Very good!"

Ling Feng nodded and continued: "If things get leaked, you definitely won’t escape; even if you hide underground, I’ll drag you out!"

"I, I understand, I understand!"

Cid shrank his neck and quickly nodded.

"You guys continue, I won’t interrupt!"

Ling Feng said a word, then left with Ah Min.

In the room, only Cid and Yelena were left, both a bit dumbfounded.

At this point, what’s there to continue?

.......

...

Ling Feng and Ah Min hadn’t gone far; they returned upstairs, to another room with nobody inside.

Ah Min then took out her computer.

Ling Feng beside her didn’t disturb her; he just sat by the window, looking at the night outside, lost in thought.

Half an hour later, Ah Min looked up: "Boss, this guy named Janis, his real identity is the Minister of Trade for France!"

"It’s definitely a big fish!"

Ling Feng stepped forward to her side, looked at Janis’s photo on the computer screen.

This person appears around forty, evidently in his prime.

According to Ah Min’s investigation of his background, he has a rich resume and belongs to the category of promising young talents!

Graduated college at twenty, after entering politics, he moved upward smoothly, becoming a senior official in a major European nation at a young age, something few could achieve.

After reviewing the data, Ling Feng clicked his tongue: "Why would someone like this develop anti-human thoughts?"

"That’s hard to say; doesn’t everyone have a dark side within their heart?" Ah Min suggested.

Ling Feng looked at her: "That’s deep!"

"Hehe, heard it from someone else!"

Ah Min stuck out her tongue, then asked: "Boss, should we act now?"

Ling Feng checked the time: "It’s three a.m., around the time people are in deep sleep!"

After pondering, he looked at Ah Min: "My idea is not to confront him directly but to track him stealthily, see who he contacts. Finding his superior would be perfect!"

Ah Min nodded: "That’s simple; we’ll infiltrate his home, and I’ll install software on his phone and computer!"

"Such an individual probably uses phones that are eavesdropping-proof, right?" Ling Feng asked.

Ah Min chuckled: "Yes, but while they can deter ordinary hackers, they can’t stop my skills!"

"That’s reassuring!"

Ling Feng smiled, patting her head: "Let’s set off now! Janis’s identity isn’t ordinary; he should be under protection, so approaching him will take some effort!"

Thus, the two quietly departed the apartment building, then vanished into the dark streets of Paris!
