Lin Weiwei met with Matilda, who presented her with documents for investigation. While Lin feigned disinterest, she subtly used hidden devices to record the contents. After Lin's departure, Matilda fretted over the documents' apparent lack of value. Meanwhile, Lin confirmed with Lei Ying that their objective shifted from Cilio's downfall to identifying the mastermind behind Fiewood's group.

Within the General Manager’s Office of the Yorko Company, Matilda was seated across from Fiewood, her legs crossed, and she voiced her grievances to him.

"Tell me, what exactly are we accomplishing here! Since they’ve made the decision to chase after new leads, we should provide them with something substantial and direct, rather than these roundabout, ambiguous pieces of information that seem like accidental leaks but ultimately serve no real purpose. Previously, we revealed certain things, believing they were unaware, but they were already in the know. Even the clues provided this time were unsurprising to them. It’s possible they’ve accepted the Zhenbei Group’s headquarters’ decision not to investigate Cilio, fully aware of everything. I believe our efforts this time have been in vain!"

A distinct tone of frustration colored Matilda’s words, as if she were blaming Fiewood for being excessively cautious, which had led to a lack of progress.

There could be numerous reasons why the woman identified as Lin Weiwei did not accept her offered information and showed no surprise, but Matilda still felt compelled to express her thoughts.

She was not an ordinary employee, and her current actions were far from typical. This gave her the boldness to speak her mind.

Her complaints contained a mixture of genuine and fabricated sentiments, designed to make the leadership aware of the difficulties and challenges she faced. It was a strategy to demonstrate that, regardless of success or failure, the responsibility would not fall on her shoulders, and if anything went awry, she should not be the one to bear the blame.

Fiewood appeared perplexed, his brow furrowed. "They didn’t accept the items, nor did they display any surprise?"

"Indeed, when I saw those items myself, I was likely more surprised than she was," Matilda replied.

Fiewood knitted his brows, rubbing his temples as he murmured, "Could it be that they already possess knowledge of what we provided? However, judging by the penalties announced by the group, they shouldn't know..."

"Perhaps they are withholding the clues they possess without making them public. These matters directly implicate Cilio," Matilda hypothesized. "Imagine the situation: when the issue first surfaced, Mr. Brown intervened immediately, and the group’s higher-ups hold Mr. Brown in such high regard that they decisively resolved the matter. Would they still dare to act recklessly? I suspect either the evidence they hold has not yet been submitted, or they are waiting to amass sufficient proof to present it all at once for maximum impact, rendering even Mr. Brown unable to negotiate!"

Fiewood couldn’t help but nod slightly in agreement.

He too was unable to ascertain the true situation. At this juncture, hearing such a reasonable speculation from a trusted associate naturally led him to concur.

"Then I shall prepare some... crucial materials, more significant clues, and you must find a way to deliver them," Fiewood stated.

"You’d better hurry!" Matilda urged, "That Huaxia woman mentioned they won’t be staying in Lekram for many days. Once they depart, it will be exceedingly difficult to manage this situation."

Fiewood’s brow furrowed once more.

Indeed, time was of the essence! He also did not have much time remaining!

Initially, he had anticipated that the matter would not be overly complicated. However, he had not foreseen it being this challenging to handle, with a full week passing without any tangible achievements!

Even Fiewood himself was beginning to feel a sense of anxiety.

After all, the individual who had assigned him this task was still awaiting news.

"Very well, I will reschedule this afternoon’s meeting and dedicate my full attention to this matter... At the very latest, I will have the materials for you before the end of the day!" Fiewood declared.

He was essentially setting aside all other engagements to tackle this issue.

"Once again, I have to deliver clues to them. What excuse should I use this time?" Matilda pouted, "Even if their acting skills are commendable, there’s no need to assign such difficult tasks..."

These words carried a hint of playful displeasure.

Fiewood immediately smiled, leaning forward. He placed a hand on Matilda’s shoulder, giving it a firm squeeze. "I know you've been working hard. Don’t worry, there will be compensation later, alright?"

Only then did Matilda’s lips curve into a coy smile.

While these two were engaged in discussion about providing Sheng and his team with further new materials, Bai Xiaosheng and the other two individuals were examining the clues they had acquired from Matilda that day.

"If we proceed with the clues obtained from Matilda today, the previously investigated companies will certainly encounter renewed difficulties, with direct responsibility pointing squarely at Cilio," Bai Xiaosheng stated. "However, additional clues imply more entities involved. While some have deliberately obscured information, even severing ties to prevent us from reaching them at those specific companies, if we meticulously examine the accounts, reports, and past associations of all the implicated companies, and then dissect old online news archives, we can uncover new problematic companies! Furthermore, we can gauge the magnitude of the crisis that still lurks beneath the surface!"

Bai Xiaosheng’s reasoning was highly logical.

Nevertheless, the task at hand was monumental!

Utilizing only their current manpower would necessitate halting a significant portion of their ongoing undercover investigations.

However, since Bai Xiaosheng had made this decision, neither Lin Weiwei nor Lei Ying raised any objections.

"We will proceed exactly as you have suggested!" Lin Weiwei declared with conviction.

"Halting some inquiries is not a problem; we can simply ask the surveillance division for more agents!" Lei Ying suggested, his voice brimming with eagerness.

Confronted by the zealous energy of these two, Bai Xiaosheng merely offered a shake of his head. "There's no need. I will manage this assignment myself."

Even with an augmented team, the undertaking would remain taxing, and manual efforts invariably carry the risk of oversight. A single lapse could sever critical links, resulting in the loss of vital information.

However, if this responsibility were entrusted to the Red Lotus superintelligent AI, the process would be significantly streamlined, boasting unmatched efficiency and virtually eliminating potential pitfalls.

Consequently, Bai Xiaosheng elected to undertake this task personally.
