Chapter 13 — The Secret in the Basement B2

Those two words... Make even the sound of the rain seem silent. A case manager... Disappeared in a fire three years ago. An old account... Suddenly appeared today. A photo... As soon as I posted it, it was immediately revoked. If Han Lap Thanh is still alive... Why hasn't he appeared for three years? If he's dead... Then who's using his account? Not long after... The commander also received the screenshot. He immediately asked the technical staff to trace the login address of the old account. Results are available very quickly. Login address... Not a company. Not my house either. An abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of the city. As soon as Manh Ky An saw the address... his face immediately darkened.

"That place..."

"I've been here before."

I looked at him.

"Also because of the fire three years ago?"

He nodded slightly.

"After the old office building was demolished..."

"All remaining records were transferred there."

"Later..."

"That warehouse is also abandoned."

"But the last time I came..."

"There's still a guard at the door."

The commander immediately sent people to the warehouse. I also want to follow. But he refused.

"You are still under suspicion."

"Don't leave here on your own."

I know... You're right. But I still have a very strong feeling in my heart. That photo... Wasn't sent randomly. There's someone... Trying to lead us to the warehouse. Reminding me of something. There was no time to say it all. Uncle just said:

"List..."

"...no..."

"...give..."

Finally... What do you want to say? I kept pondering those last words. At that moment... Khuong San suddenly spoke softly.

"Could it be..."

"That list wasn't meant to be used to see people?"

I turned to look at her. Khuong San bit her lip.

"In the financial system..."

"There's a kind of list."

"Not a personnel list."

"List of authorizations."

My heart suddenly jerked.

"What do you mean?"

"Before the money is transferred..."

"There must be multiple levels of electronic signatures."

Khuong San explained.

"If they want to fake the entire process..."

"First you must create a permissions table."

"Looking at the outside..."

"It's exactly like the personnel processing board."

"But actually..."

"Another list of account permissions."

A stream of cold air ran down my spine.

"What Uncle Ma wants to say is probably..."

"That list..."

"Not for dealing with people."

"So that the money has a way to move."

Khuong San nodded.

"Transfer confirmation..."

"It's just the first step."

"What they really want to touch..."

"It's the project deposit."

Manh Ky An immediately asked:

"Can that money still be transferred now?"

Khuong San picked up the phone again. Use temporary access to log in to the financial risk control system. Her hands trembled non-stop. After three refreshes... The data page finally appeared. She just took one look... Her face immediately changed.

"Account freeze order..."

"Not yet effective."

"Because..."

"The blockade application needs confirmation from a legal representative."

I turned to look at Thieu Chan Hai. Even though he was under surveillance... He remained calm and silent. He doesn't need to run. Just buy it enough time... Thirty million will be transferred. Khuong San continued to check. Suddenly... Her breathing stopped.

"Have a transfer has been scheduled."

"Thirty million."

"Execution time..."

"It's exactly 10 a.m."

I looked down at the clock. 9 hours 42 minutes. The commander immediately contacted the economic investigation team and the bank. But Khuong San shook his head.

"There's no time."

"If the other party uses an authorized channel in advance..."

"A normal blockade will not stop it."

I asked immediately:

"So what should we do?"

Khuong San looked at me.

"Must log in to your project assistant account..."

"To cancel the last confirmation."

I was stunned.

"But my account..."

"Aren't you being controlled by someone else?"

Khuong San nodded slightly.

"That's right."

"So..."

"We have to regain access before they can strike."

Manh Ky An immediately said:

"But your dynamic authentication token generator was taken."

Khuong San was still staring intently at the screen. A few seconds later... She suddenly spoke.

"There's still a way."

"Face authentication."

My heart suddenly sank. Khuong San looked at me.

"Facial recognition data in the system..."

"Linked to yourself."

"As long as you confirm directly at the end..."

"The system will force logout of all other login sessions."

The commander frowned slightly.

"Where is the authentication device?"

Khuong San lowered his voice.

"The company's central control room."

I raised my head and looked towards the building. Central control room... Located deepest in basement B2. Right behind the area is covered with a black cloth. It's also... The place they definitely don't want me to enter. At that moment... Thieu Chan Hai suddenly burst out laughing. It was his first smile in a long time. He slowly opened his mouth.

"There's no time anymore."

Everyone turned to look. He unconsciously raised his wrist. Glancing at the empty space where the watch was still worn. It was as if I suddenly remembered... That watch was clearly recorded by the camera. He calmly said:

"Before ten o'clock..."

"No one can get into the central control room."

My heart immediately sank.
