Chapter 142: All Were Overconfident

  Plans don't change quickly.

  Zhuo Wenjun's sudden appearance was within Liu Min's expectations, and it was also mentioned in the previously formulated plan. However, Wu Tian's slow legs being blocked in the office was not anticipated by Liu Min's previous plan, so the subsequent series of plans all changed, directly causing the original planned time to be severely delayed. When Wu Tian and Liu Min left, Fang Hua had no choice but to call over a few more 'drunkards' again to make trouble at the entrance of Donghua Building, allowing Wu Tian and Liu Min to slip away unnoticed.

  Returning by car to the Tianzheng Building, everyone in the command center was waiting anxiously.

  Wu Tian didn't say a word after entering the house, picked up his pen and paper, and hid in the adjacent room to start silently writing down what he had seen before. Due to the urgency of time and the large amount of content in the diary, he couldn't think when he was reading it earlier, so he could only force himself to memorize it. Fortunately, his brain was good, and his memory was excellent, which was inseparable from his years of scientific research work. It's worth noting that every researcher's brain is a database. People with poor memory can't do this job.

  "How's it going? Have you found the diary?" Jingyun asked Liu Min, she didn't know what Wu Tian was doing next door, but seeing his serious face, she knew there was something important, so she didn't go over to disturb him.

  "Ah, found it." Liu Min nodded.

  "Really? That's great!" The people in the house all showed excited expressions. Since the establishment of this intelligence department, they have been searching for the experimental records of the X Plan, but so far, there has been no news about these records, and everyone's heart is more or less disappointed. Successfully finding Professor Ho Zhenlin's diary tonight can be a kind of comfort. Of course, it may also be possible to find clues to the experimental records through this diary.

  "What about him? Where is Wu Tian?" Jingyun asked.

  "Right, take it out and let everyone see." Fang Hua said.

  "Some special circumstances have arisen, so the diary is still at Donghua's place and hasn't been brought back." Liu Min sat down, took a sip of water, and continued, "However, Old Wu has already taken a look at the diary and is probably transcribing it now. To be honest, I don't know much either. You should know that for a period of time, I lost contact with Old Wu, so if you have any questions, it's better to wait until he comes out and ask him instead. There are many things that I'm not clear about either."

  When they heard Liu Min's words, everyone suddenly remembered the time when Wu Tian almost got lost. No matter who spoke, there was no response from Wu Tian, which made everyone anxious at that time. Fortunately, in the end, Liu Min returned to the office and found Wu Tian, and rescued him!

  About half an hour later, the door opened and Wu Tian walked in from outside. He put a few pieces of paper on the table, then grabbed a bottle of mineral water and gulped it down. Tonight was too damn dangerous. Almost blew his cover. If the last person to come in wasn't Liu Min but someone else, Wu Tian probably wouldn't have made it back tonight.

  Jingyun picked up those few sheets of paper, flipped through them, and asked Wu Tian, "Is this Professor Huo Zhenlin's diary? Why is it so little?"

  "This is the content about X plan that I filtered out, at that time it was urgent and I didn't have time to remember anything else." Wu Tian finished drinking and threw the empty bottle into a nearby trash can, then let out a sigh and said, "I've got the general idea!"

  "It doesn't matter, isn't it safe to return now? I also saw the diary, so tonight's action was still very successful." Fang Hua said with a smile, walking over to Wu Tian's side and giving him a big kiss on the face as a reward.

  "What I'm saying is not action, but a diary." Wu Tian looked at the few sheets of paper in Jingyun's hand and explained, "According to the content recorded on the diary, Professor Huo Zhenlin's diary must be more than one copy. Judging from the date, there should be at least one more, or even more."

  "What?"

  Everyone stared at Wu Tian in surprise, even Liu Min's calm face showed a look of astonishment.

  "Who would have thought?" Wu Tian said with a bitter smile, looking at the crowd. "I didn't think so either. Before, I only heard Zhuo Wenjun mention it, but never asked how many volumes there were. It's also my fault for neglecting this question. From the beginning, my subconscious thought there was only one volume... With what happened tonight, Zhuo Wenjun's side will definitely become more vigilant in the future, and it will be difficult for us to find other volumes of the diary."

  When they heard Wu Tian's words, the crowd's excitement suddenly cooled down. Everyone thought that although tonight was full of danger and crises, they had finally completed their mission. But unexpectedly, it turned out that they had only completed half of it, or even less than half. This result made people feel somewhat disappointed.

  "It's all my fault for not being able to decipher all the patterns." Jingyun said, blaming herself. Up until now, there were still three patterns that had not been cracked.

  "This puzzle is too complicated. Ordinary puzzles have one focal point, and once you find it, you can restore the puzzle. But these three remaining puzzles each have two focal points, meaning that you need to move two pieces at a time, and if you make a wrong move, you'll ruin the entire pattern. And on top of that, there's still the mystery of the Eight Trigrams, Five Elements, Heavenly Stems, and Earthly Branches... Sigh!"

  One of the twelve zodiac women said, "Puzzles this complicated are usually made by ancient royal families. I didn't expect to see them in Zhuo Wenjun's office, and there are so many of them all at once? It's not that we're not capable, it's just that this woman is too unexpected."

  "It's simply a freak, with modern technology being so advanced, how could she have thought of using that most ancient form of graphic puzzle?"

  "Yes! Who would have thought that people still use this old thing as a lock? It should be in an antique shop or museum instead."

  Seeing everyone's low mood, Wu Tian woke up from his loss. Tonight wasn't a complete failure after all. He not only saw a diary but also kissed Zhuo Wenjun, so it wasn't a wasted trip. So, he smiled and said to the people in the house, "Alright, alright. Actually, this diary we found today still reveals a lot of important information, which is very useful for our project research. So, there's no need for everyone to be discouraged. We'll have plenty of opportunities in the future!"

  "Mr. Wu, don't worry, we will continue to crack the charts, and we must break through the remaining three charts."

  "I believe you." Wu Tian smiled and clapped his hands, saying, "Alright, everyone's tired tonight, let's take a rest. I'll give you two days off, go out and relax. When you come back here again, it will be another new war." Wu Tian guessed that with such a big thing happening in Donghua tonight, Zhuo Wenjun would definitely be furious, so what would happen next, no one knew, maybe she would start a massacre!

  Zhuo Wenjun opened his eyes from a coma, how did he end up on the bed in the rest room? Didn't he come back to the office to rest after leaving the R&D department? How... Zhuo Wenjun, who was still a bit dizzy, suddenly became wide awake as soon as he thought about what had happened before.

  She hastily lowered her head to take a look at herself, and ran her hands over her body. Fortunately, there was nothing unusual about her body, and her clothes were all tidy. She then hastily left the rest room and came out into the outer office. The lights had already been turned off, but the sky outside had grown light, so everything in the room could be seen very clearly.

  The office was still tidy and showed no signs of having been disturbed. But Zhuo Wenjun knew that a master would not leave any traces when entering or leaving a place.

  Zhuo Wenjun hastily walked to the cabinet, placed her hands on the two puzzle blocks, and began to move quickly. This was an 8x8 puzzle lock, which, when designed, took into account not only the integrity of the puzzle but also the principles of the Eight Trigrams. In this seemingly simple puzzle, various trigram symbols were embedded, and one had to follow these symbols in order to open it after 64 steps. This was the most difficult lock to open in her entire office, where important things were stored.

  Although it's a modern society, Zhuo Wenjun has never been interested in electronic things since she was young, including electronic locks. There are many safes and electronic locks inside the Donghua Building, but those things can be cracked by people from the intelligence department, so after considering for a long time, she designed this puzzle set. Only by solving the puzzle can you open the cabinet. Of course, don't think about damaging the cabinet, because there are sensors inside the cabinet, if it is impacted or damaged, the sensor will be triggered and the alarm will sound. Unless you encounter a god-like master, Zhuo Wenjun is confident that no one can solve it.

  "Ah!"

  After taking the last step, the graphic lock made a heavy sound, and the mechanism inside was opened. The originally closed graphic had a gap in the middle. Zhuo Wenjun directly opened the cabinet.

  There is no gold or silver treasure, nor any money; inside are stacks of file bags and a few notebooks.

  Zhuo Wenjun checked and found that the hair was still, the shape had not changed, she took out the things and examined them carefully, nothing was missing, only then did she feel at ease. As long as the things in this cabinet were not lost, it didn't matter if other things were lost.

  That's right, I remember!

  Zhuo Wenjun walked up to the desk, looked at the diary lying quietly on it, and let out a sigh of relief. She picked it up, flipped through it, and found that not a single page was missing. Then she walked over to the cabinet, placed the diary on top of the other books, closed the cabinet door, and restored order.

  For a while, Zhuo Wenjun checked other places again, and nothing was lost, which made her feel strange. If nothing is lost, what was the purpose of the masked man last night? One? No, it should be two!

  Zhuo Wenjun immediately picked up his mobile phone and dialed a number.

  "Jia Jia. Inform all personnel in Intelligence Department to assemble immediately, someone broke into my office last night!"

  Who will it be after all?

  Zhuo Wenjun touched her lips with her hand, and a flush rose to her pale cheeks, but suddenly turned cold again.

  How dare you barge into my office? Whoever you are and whatever your purpose, I, Zhuo Wenjun, will definitely investigate and make you pay a heavy price!
