The disconnection between the Management Bureau and Abyss Second Layer had never been mentioned by Director Gao before. As he brought it up now, it instantly startled the surrounding members of the Management Bureau.

A few people looked at Director Gao, wanting to speak but hesitating. In the end, it was Wu Chang, who spoke up first, voicing the thoughts on everyone's mind.

"Director Gao, does this timing have anything to do with the events from a couple of days ago?"

The connection between the Management Bureau and Abyss Second Layer had always been stable. Just recently, during the Erosion Dungeon, players from Abyss Second Layer were ready to come for support. Such a sudden disconnection, coupled with the sensitive timing, makes it hard not to associate it with the attack from a few days ago.

Director Gao let out a bitter laugh, pointing at himself, and said, "You're asking me? I don't even know who to ask. Even though I'm the director, I'm just an investigator. How would I know about such high-level secrets?"

"Professor Shi knows, but on the day of the attack, he rushed back to headquarters. Otherwise, I could have asked him."

Director Gao's status in the Management Bureau was not even close to Yu Na's status in Revelation. Matters concerning the Pillar of the Present World were indeed beyond his reach.

However, just because Director Gao didn't know the specific information, it didn't mean he couldn't deduce some information from it.

Wu Chang showed a panicked expression and asked, "So what do we do? Is there something we need to do?"

Director Gao shrugged and said, "What else can we do? Just carry on as usual. It's not like the Management Bureau will fall apart just because the Abyss Second Layer folks are gone."

"I've consulted with the provincial authorities. The directive from above is to continue our respective work and maintain the current status. A specialized department will follow up on handling it. There's no need for us to worry. If the sky falls, the taller ones will support it. If the higher-ups aren't worried, why should you be?"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. After all, if something did happen, headquarters would be at the forefront, so it wasn't their turn to worry.

After wrapping up the work, Wu Chang watched Director Gao leaving with a thoughtful expression.

Judging by the attitude of the Management Bureau's higher-ups, they were even calmer than expected, neither panicking nor putting local branches on high alert.

The only countermeasure taken was to catch undercover agents and clean out suspicious members from the team opportunistically.

This type of response didn't seem like they were unprepared for the attack.

Moreover, from the perspective of Director Gao and other middle-level management, they neither relied on nor cared about the players from Abyss Second Layer.

All these signs accumulated make it appear more like a setup orchestrated by the Four Major Organizations themselves.

As Director Gao and others left, Wu Chang started his car and stopped in front of Meng Yawen, who was waiting for a ride-hailing car. Lowering the window, he asked:

"I heard your car exploded again. Need a ride?"

Meng Yawen seemed naturally jinxed with vehicles. During the construction of the Earthly Divine Kingdom in Wanghai City by Revelation, the new car she had for only a few days was totaled by Tang Renquan during his escape.

She had just bought a new car yesterday and hadn't driven 100 kilometers before she encountered the pursuit of Yu Na today. During Yu Na's escape, she picked her car, and to prevent Yu Na from hijacking and escaping, Lei Huo used skills to blow her new car to scrap iron.

Being acquainted, Meng Yawen didn't refuse and sat in the passenger seat.

On the way, Meng Yawen asked, "You haven't been back to the dorm lately, have you? Fang Hui says he hasn't been able to reach you and asked if a single apartment is really that good?"

Wu Chang shrugged and said, "Whenever I have time, I've been going to the practice room at Crimson Courtyard; it's not convenient to return to the dorm."

Meng Yawen reminded, "The practice rooms aren't cheap. You're not a Fighting-type player, so there's no need to burn too many Rotten Silver Coins there."

"Just today at noon, Fang Hui mentioned you, saying they called you for a dorm dinner gathering, but you didn't respond and never return to the dorm. He's worried you might have joined some illegal pyramid scheme and asked me to check on you."

Wu Chang scoffed after hearing this, confidently saying, "That guy definitely didn't phrase it that way."

Meng Yawen laughed along, "You do know him well. He's worried you've been restrained for too long, went out for a massage, encountered an anti-vice raid, and got detained."

Wu Chang shook his head, "I knew it, that guy can't speak decently. I'll message him when I get home, I'll definitely make the dinner gathering."

Speaking of which, ever since moving to Golden Scenery Garden, he hadn't returned to the dorm for a while.

Who would choose to leave Erin at Golden Scenery Garden just to return and listen to those brutes in room 426 grind their teeth, burp, and talk in their sleep at night?

Returning to the dorm at night, that was impossible. Returning for a daytime dinner gathering, that was necessary. After all, he was the eldest in room 426.

The eldest brother is like a father, and just for that, Fang Hui and the others calling him 'dad' wouldn't be too much.

Wanghai Branch's clearing of undercover agents, as Director Gao said, the Management Bureau members returned to their routine work.

Sometimes practicing punches at the Fighting Club, chatting with some newly joined Abyssal Game players, and occasionally eliminating a few murderers influenced by the Erosion Dungeon.

The days passed rather easily.

However, beneath the calm surface, urban undercurrents were surging in Wanghai City.

On the third day after the failed capture of Yu Na, she returned to Wanghai City with a new identity and dialed Wu Chang's number through previous contact methods.

The two met again in the Peace District Commercial Street. This time, Yu Na had transformed into a young affluent heir returned from overseas, having secured the prime location of the commercial street, preparing to open a high-class restaurant at the tire-man level.

Wu Chang looked at the woman in front of him, whose appearance and demeanor had undergone a complete transformation except for her unchanged figure, and said, "You're bold, coming back to Wanghai City before things have settled down."

Yu Na glanced at Wu Chang and smiled, "What's there to fear? If found, at worst, I'll just run away again."
