Chương 84: Pizza Delivery

That particular weekend, while Han Meixiu was preparing to go to their indoor shooting range for the nth times, she received a call from one of the men guarding the house.

Her husband left early to attend a certain meeting and might be back before dinner.

As the doctor advised Han Meixiu to avoid both real and perceived stress, Liu Zijian didn't want her to accompany him at work. She could instead do what she wanted to do as long as she would not leave the house.

"Young Madam, there's a pizza delivery for you."

"Huh?" She was surprised as she never ordered a pizza.

"Let me talk to her." The delivery person said.

When Han Meixiu heard the voice, she automatically told the man to let the delivery person in.

Han Mingxia who was disguised as a pizza delivery man, was already sweating when she was escorted to the living room.

When the man left, she dragged her cousin towards the indoor shooting range.

"Wow, must be nice to marry a rich man huh!" She exclaimed when they arrived inside.

"What is it this time?" Han Meixiu impatiently asked. She's fully aware that her cousin needed something again. But unlike before she came in using the door this time.

"Did you find anything new?" Han Mingxia asked her cousin while her eyes roamed around the indoor shooting area.

"I found the website but I couldn't get in. All I see was their logo and name." She quickly answered.

"Black.com, right?"

"Yes. So you already know. Then why are you still here?"

"I have a password and a username plus that code needed to log in." Han Mingxia answered. "I couldn't set up a good system to avoid being track. I need your help."

"The connection in here isn't good. We need to go to the study. I'm going to use my laptop." Han Meixiu answered. She quickly took out her laptop and the two went to the study.

"I'm going to use a tool to encrypt our connection." She explained briefly and her hands started to move elegantly across the keyboard. There was a rhythmic sound of tapping that silently played inside the entire room.

"What's the code for anyway?"

"It's from an 'agent' or 'previous client'." Han Mingxia answered as her eyes were glued on the screen when she saw the website.

"How did you get it?"

"Long story. I didn't get it properly, I somewhat stole it."

"That would be a problem, I think we can only use it once. This website might record that we use a certain code without the knowledge of the owner thus they can deactivate it right away if they find it out. You have to prepare all the information you want to get."

"I want to know what is their 'business' all about and if they have a list of members."

"Let's try if we can get those information." Han Meixiu said as she started to input the detailed needed to log in to the website.

"What the F***! What's with those questions again?" Han Mingxia exclaimed when she saw what's on the screen.

"Quiet!" Now that she was able to log in, she could get past with this simple question but she couldn't concentrate of her cousin was being noisy.

Upon hearing her cousin's words, she immediately closed her mouth. She had no time to get angry about the sudden outburst of Han Meixiu as she was clearly nervous while watching behind her.

Only the sound of their breathing together with the rapid tapping of keys could be heard in the room.

Han Mingxia who was watching what her cousin was doing felt somewhat dizzy. Her eyes couldn't take anymore the strings of character quickly appearing on the screen thus she looked at the ceiling before she moved away from her.

She tried to blink several times to ease the restraint on her eyes and when she felt better she went back to her position.

By the time she positioned herself she was surprised to hear Han Meixiu cursed.

"Sh**t!"

She was taken aback and looked at her cousin's serious face but she didn't utter a single word.

Han Meixiu abruptly closed her laptop and took out something from it before she went out the study dragging her cousin with her.

'What just happened?' Han Mingxia wanted to ask but looking at her cousin's face she knew she had to wait a little while before she could ask her.

When the two went back to the indoor shooting area, Han Meixiu finally let her cousin's hand go.

"I know their business. But the list only contained 'aliases' that was recently 'free'. I am assuming the 'free' means those people who finished their tasks."

"Those names aren't going to help me, is that what you're trying to say?"

Han Meixiu nodded.

"I see. So this black.com really is a company that offers people to do something?"

"Yes. As long as you have money and appropriate connection, you can hire someone to do something for you."

"Then I want to know who hired Daniel. I also want to know if they have a record about him."

"Mingxia, I don't think you can get those information in that website." She didn't want to let her cousin down but she wanted to voice out her honest opinion.

Han Mingxia knew. She also knew that even the name 'Daniel' wasn't his real name. But she couldn't help herself to hope.

She breathed deeply before she spoke again.

"Your father, he might contacted that company before he disappeared."

Han Meixiu sighed.

Based from how fast she was detected when she was navigating the website, she could tell that black.com wasn't an ordinary existence in the dark web. They were able to destroy her line of defense in a short period of time. If she wasn't quick enough, her location could have been found out despite using an intricate encryption.

She really wanted to know what happened to both of her parents now, but she didn't want to engage in a battle she's not sure she would eventually win.

She's clearly in a disadvantage position. Unlike her cousin who seemed to be driven with pain to become reckless like stealing the information to get what she wanted, Han Meixiu was clearly satisfied with her life.

As much as she wanted to find out the answers to her questions, she also didn't want to shatter what kind of life she has as of this moment.
