Here, Zhang Yang could move around freely, without anyone coming up to talk to him.
According to the location information provided by the monocle, there was a database on the ninth floor of the CIA building.
For an intelligence agency, a database was essentially the heart of the entire organization. Zhang Yang wasn't interested in the content inside their database.
However, if something happened to the database, the entire CIA would go into a state of alert, and even Bruce would surely get restless.
That was exactly what Zhang Yang wanted!
"Bruce is too smart. He's probably guarding the Qīngnáng Shū (Qing Nang Book) in the vault right now!"
There were two agents guarding the door of the database room.
Zhang Yang took out Streik's ID and showed it to them.
Then, he swiped his card to verify his access rights and smoothly entered the database room.
This was where the CIA's intelligence came from. Zhang Yang found a port and inserted the virus disk he had prepared in advance.
"Ten minutes from now, there will be a data loss alert here."
As the virus disk was inserted, the monocle displayed a ten-minute countdown.
Zhang Yang stepped out of the database room calmly. The two agents at the door didn't show any suspicion towards him.
His identity and access rights were correct, and everything followed the proper procedure.
Time ticked away, second by second.
Bruce anxiously waited on the fifth floor, hoping Kaitō Kid would show up.
"Why hasn't Kaitō Kid shown up yet?"
The longer Bruce waited without seeing Kaitō Kid, the more uncertain he felt.
It wasn't just Bruce who was anxious now. The crowd outside, as well as the media and netizens from all over the world, were all waiting for Kaitō Kid to appear!
"What's going on tonight? Why isn't Kaitō Kid here yet?"
"Could it be that the CIA agents aren't here, so Kaitō Kid got scared?"
"Scared? Kaitō Kid would be scared? Are you kidding?"
"I bet Kaitō Kid is already inside the CIA building. We just haven't seen him yet!"
Discussions continued in the crowd, and in the media live-streams as well. They all believed that Kaitō Kid wouldn't break his promise and was surely already inside the CIA building.
[Normally, when we can't see Kaitō Kid at this time, it means he's already making his move!]
[Oh my god! What a pity, we didn't get to see his handsome white figure!]
[This time, the CIA is packed with people. If we still get to see Kaitō Kid, then that would be a miracle!]
[Let's wait patiently for the result. Hopefully, Kaitō Kid will have better luck!]
[Bruce hasn't shown up either. He's probably holding back his big move!]
Ten minutes after Zhang Yang left the database room, a loud alarm sounded throughout the CIA building.
Every computer screen popped up with a white background featuring Kaitō Kid's cartoon avatar, and no further operations could be performed.
For a moment, everyone panicked.
"WTF? What's going on?"
"Shit! Kaitō Kid hacked into the CIA's database!"
"Oh my god! The database has been breached?"
"Shit! Hurry up and notify the superior!"
Their computers were all directly connected to the database, and when every computer malfunctioned at once, the only conclusion was that the database had been compromised.
Zhang Yang smirked, watching as people scrambled and lost their composure.
"This is the result I wanted. Hurry up and notify your superiors, let Bruce bring his team over!"
Why was the target the Qīngnáng Shū?
Of course, Zhang Yang couldn't let Bruce figure it out. The real target could also be the data in the database!
At that moment, on the fifth floor, Bruce heard the alarms ringing throughout the building, and his heart skipped a beat.
"Shit! What's going on? Why is there an alarm?"
The voice of the CIA director came through the earpiece.
"Director Bruce, I think you guessed wrong. Kaitō Kid's target is the CIA's database!"
"All the computers are down. The database has been breached by Kaitō Kid!"
Bruce ran to a computer, almost tripping over his feet. Even the startup animation was a cartoon image of Kaitō Kid, exactly the same as the pattern on the back of the invitation letter.
For a moment, Bruce was stunned. He didn't expect Kaitō Kid to be this audacious.
The alarms throughout the entire CIA building blared, and shouts of surprise came from the crowd of onlookers.
"Oh my god! The CIA is sounding the alarm. Has Kaitō Kid made his move?"
"Shit! How did he get into the CIA?"
"Unbelievable! Kaitō Kid has truly snuck in without anyone noticing!"
"Wasn't Bruce supposed to be at the CIA? Why did Kaitō Kid manage to trigger the alarm?"
The CIA's database was far more important than the data at the FBI headquarters.
"Fuck! What does Kaitō Kid want to do?"
Bruce slammed his fist on the desk, seething.
"The CIA's data contains military intelligence. Is he declaring war on the entire Eagle Nation?"
Bruce quickly instructed the director to lock down the ninth floor, and ordered that no one should leave. He then gathered his team to head over.
After Zhang Yang inserted the virus disk into the database room, he left immediately. He was now sitting near the elevator on the sixth floor.
When the elevator's floor indicator stopped at the fifth floor, Zhang Yang knew he had succeeded.
The elevator stopping at the fifth and ninth floors meant that Bruce and his team had headed up.
"Bruce, good luck. Hope you find the virus disk soon!"
Zhang Yang chuckled mischievously, then stood up, preparing to head to the fifth floor.
Bruce and his team arrived on the ninth floor and went straight to the database room.
This room was the heart of the CIA. If anything went wrong here, it would be even more serious than losing the Qīngnáng Shū (Qing Nang Book).
The director was also in the vault, and there didn't seem to be any obvious problems in the database room.
Zhang Yang had simply found an available port and inserted the virus disk.
There was no major damage done.
"Director, only Streik has come to the database room tonight!"
Bruce furrowed his brow.
"Who is Streik?"
After asking the agents at the door, the director was just as confused.
The database room wasn't accessible to just anyone. Even if maintenance was needed, only the authorized personnel could bring in maintenance workers.
From the director's memory, none of the people authorized to enter the database room were named Streik!
"I don't know. This person is suspicious and might be Kaitō Kid in disguise!"
"His target wasn't the Qīngnáng Shū, it was the database!"
"Director Bruce, I think you understand the significance of the CIA's database. If Kaitō Kid manages to take the data, many of our plans will be exposed!"
Bruce's stress increased. As the top agent of Eagle Nation, he certainly knew the catastrophic consequences of losing the data in the database.
"Tonight, we cannot let Kaitō Kid escape. You must capture him!"
The director's tone was stern. Otherwise, the consequences would be something neither of them could bear.
"We're going to catch Streik!"
"Check everyone, one by one!"
Bruce led the team out of the database room, instructing everyone on the ninth floor to stay at their posts.
