Only after one entered this gate could one see that the inside of this courtyard was incredibly large. The courtyard which was neatly paved with emerald stones was at least several thousand square meters.The old man led Vera all the way to his study room and then ordered everyone to leave the study room and stay about fifty meters away. Therefore, all the family members and servants retreated to the backyard. In the study room, the old man invited Vera to sit on the Lexington chair respectfully before he asked, “Miss, where did you come from? Why didn’t you inform me in advance so that I could have arranged for someone to pick you up?!”Vera said indifferently, “My journey was quite tumultuous. I set out from Northern Europe and then arrived in Murmansk in Russia by boat first. After that, I transferred to land from Murmansk and took a car and a train to Moscow before I took a flight from Moscow to Vietnam. I finally entered Oskia by land from Vietnam and then took a plane from
Ten minutes later, the old man knocked on the door and only opened the door and walked in slowly after getting Vera’s consent. He was holding a laptop in his hand, and he placed the laptop in front of Vera as he said, “Miss, I’ve already found all the information you asked me to investigate. There are a total of five hundred and forty males named ‘Charlie Wade’ in the whole country, and a total of two hundred and thirteen of them are males under the age of thirty.” After he was done speaking, he added, “All the information about Charlie Wade is here. Please take a look.” “Okay.” Vera nodded and then placed her finger on the arrow keys as she quickly browsed through every piece of information related to each Charlie Wade.Over the past few days, she had already remembered Charlie’s appearance clearly by watching the footage of the surveillance video repeatedly. Therefore, the main method of comparison at the moment was to check whether the information that she saw through the ide
As she spoke of this, Vera suddenly raised her head somewhat unwillingly and asked the old man, “Is there a possibility that his identity has been encrypted within the system?”“Encrypted?” The old man frowned and thought about it, then spoke up and said, “There are indeed cases of encryption. The relevant information for people with special identities will be encrypted, but the system itself is unable to access the encrypted content directly in order to ensure that this encrypted information will not be found out.”Vera asked him, “What is the general encryption logic?”The old man said, “As far as I know, there are two kinds of encryption logic. The first is that his identity information is completely erased from the system and his information is stored in another system that is mutually isolated. The latter will not have any connection with the network, which means that his real information only exists in the latter system and no one outside will be able to find out any clues abo
When the old man heard Vera’s question, he pursed his lips and sighed. “Miss, there is actually a very troublesome underlying logic behind this matter.” Vera said, “Tell me about it.” The old man said, “Whether it’s the first or second kind, the number of people who are hidden is not small. Some special talents, military experts, intelligence personnel, and secret service personnel have their identities encrypted. This adds up to tens of thousands of people in the country.” As the old man said this, he added, “But the trouble is that although there is a database for these two kinds of hidden people, the vast majority of people who have access to this database do not have the highest authority over this database.” “That is to say that even if I used these two methods to hide the information of these two people back then, and even if I have access to the database, I would only be able to access information related to these two people and I have no right to access information of o
So, she hurriedly told the old man, “I’ll review the information about the missing persons first. If I still can’t find anything, you should help me retrieve information about the relevant persons who have died.” The old man nodded. “No problem!” Vera looked at the laptop again and returned to the information about the first person before she began screening them one by one. Soon, a black and white photo appeared in front of her eyes, causing her eyes to widen. The boy in this black and white photo looked just about six or seven years old. The boy looked handsome, and his features and charm seemed familiar to Vera. She then looked at the boy’s information and muttered, “Charlie Wade, a native of Eastcliff, the son of Curtis Wade and Ashley Acker…” “Charlie studied in Eastcliff Second Experimental Primary School twenty-one years ago, then transferred to Aurous Hill First Primary School twenty years ago. He then disappeared, and information in his file was never updated agai
After saying that, she could not help but answer her own question, “The odds are that this should be the case!” Vera’s guess was correct. After Stephen arranged for Charlie to be placed in the orphanage, he gave Charlie a new identity. Although his new identity was still Charlie Wade, it was no longer the Charlie of the Wade family from Eastcliff. Instead, he was a boy with no parents and was adopted by Aurous Hill Welfare Institute. His household registration was placed on the collective household registration of the Aurous Hill Welfare Institute, which was the case for all children adopted by the orphanage. Therefore, he naturally had a new identification number that belonged to Aurous Hill. This way, neither the Wade nor the Acker families would be able to find him anymore, and the only person who could find him was Stephen. The old man said, “If someone changed his identity, this previous information would not reveal any details then. You have to know his new identity
“Miss, the Charlie you saw looks exactly like Curtis?!” The old man had an incredulous expression at this point. Vera nodded slightly and said faintly, “I can’t say that they look a hundred percent similar, but there’s at least a ninety percent resemblance.” “Ninety percent…” The old man said in shock, “In that case, there shouldn’t be any deviation then. The appearance of the two adults is similar, coupled with the fact that the person’s name is also Charlie Wade. So, there shouldn’t be any problems…” As he spoke of this, he could not help but murmur, “Then… this means that… Curtis and Ashley’s son is still alive?!” Vera’s previous gloom disappeared, and she said with a smile, “Not only is he alive but also living very well! He is very strong, and the members of the Armed Calvary Guards from the Qing Eliminating Society were like carrots piled on a chopping board before him. They didn't have any ability to resist, which was really impressive!” “Is that so?!” The old man wa
“It doesn’t matter.” Vera said with a smile, “I’m already halfway there since I already know his real identity!” After saying that, Vera added, “I’m going to look for him in Oskia first, and if I really can’t find him, I’ll go overseas to look for him then.” The old man hurriedly asked, “Miss, where will you look for him?” Vera smiled and said, “I’ll naturally go to Aurous Hill as that is where he disappeared twenty years ago. All the clues must start from there!” The old man subconsciously said, “Miss, the Wade and Acker families also started looking for him from Aurous Hill back then. After looking in Aurous Hill and searching all over the world for so many years, they still couldn't find him. Yet, you still intend to look for him in Aurous Hill after a lapse of twenty years. Wouldn’t your efforts be in vain?” Vera said seriously, “Since the Wade and Acker families started the search in Aurous Hill and looked all over the world but still couldn't find him, I think Aurous Hi
