Jian Yiling took a picture of the pattern on the back of the disk. Then, she sent it to the hackers that were part of the Special Crimes Investigation Division.
Soon after, Jian Yiling received a reply:
[The pattern is the family crest of the Goodman family. This only appears on important buildings and items of important members of the Goodman family. I’m not quite sure what kind of metal this is. However, the Goodman family puts their faith in this precious metal. In their hearts, this metal is far more valuable than gold.]
The size of the object in Jian Yiling’s hand was not small. Therefore, if this metal was indeed valuable to the Goodman family, then the object would be quite valuable.
A slim, old man had given this object to Jian Yiling.
Jian Yiling rarely contacted the old man. Ever since their last operation, she and the other members of the Special Crimes Investigation Division hadn’t contacted him again.
Jian Yiling looked up the contact information of the old man.
Her call took a while to be answered.
As soon as the call was answered, the person on the other side exclaimed something in surprise. Finally, a call had been made.

The Goodman family caused quite a commotion in Beijing.
They held a ball and invited the upper-class families and celebrities of Beijing.
A lot of people attended as everyone knew of the Goodman family. As they were a rich and powerful family, most people would show the Goodman family a decent amount of respect.
Furthermore, currently, Beijing was in a state of unrest. The Zhai family and the Qin family were at war.
Most people did not know which side to take. Taking either side was not a favorable move. As a result, they decided to get along with this powerful family from the West.
“As expected of the Goodman family. Apparently, Mr. Goodman, the person hosting this ball isn’t even a core member of the Goodman family. However, almost all the rich and influential people of Beijing accepted his invitation.”
“Well, their family has hundreds of years of history. Their name is written throughout the history of Country O. They shouldn’t be compared to ordinary merchants!”
“Apparently, Miss Goodman is the sixth Young Lady in the younger generation of the Goodman family. Although her family does not value her highly, her appearance and talent are said to be excellent.”
“Well, even if her family does not value her highly, normal people can’t possibly be associated with her. After all, it’s the Goodman family. They have wealth that we can’t even imagine!”
“I really look forward to the appearance of Miss Goodman.”
“…”
The people who attended the ball were incredibly curious about the Goodman family.
Zhai Yunsheng was also invited to the ball.
He accepted the invitation as Jian Yiling said she wanted to attend.
Before they left, Zhai Yunsheng asked a stylist to dress up Jian Yiling.
Jian Yiling’s long hair was coiled up. Light makeup was applied to her delicate and exquisite face. The makeup accentuated her beauty.
The knee-length gown also highlighted Jian Yiling’s delicate yet curvaceous figure.
She had fair skin and shapely long legs.
After Zhai Yunsheng saw Jian Yiling, he regretted his decision.
He didn’t want to show this alluring woman to other men.
As a result, Zhai Yunsheng glared at the stylist.
However, the stylist did not know what he did wrong. After all, he thought he did a good job… He listened to Master Sheng’s request!
Miss Jian Yiling’s appearance was very pretty… Why was Master Sheng still upset?
