"Brothers, I've already entered the Hadid Building's surveillance system. Next, I'll look for Gavin's whereabouts," Elliot said, opening the building's internal surveillance system.
In the live stream room, a video window appeared, showing the surveillance footage of the Hadid Building's first-floor entrance.
People were coming and going in the footage.
"Wow, awesome!" a netizen with the ID "A Bite of Muffin," a student wearing glasses, couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
He was utterly impressed by the streamer's skills.
He said he'd enter and he entered, getting into the building's system as if it were an empty place.
"Brothers, let's watch the video together and look for Gavin," Elliot said, adjusting the video playback speed to 1.5x.
200,000 pairs of eyes in the live stream room searched for Gavin's figure together.
After more than ten minutes, there was a discovery.
Elliot pressed the pause button.
Gavin appeared in the video footage, wearing a short-sleeved shirt and black sweatpants.
Continuing playback, Gavin walked into the building.
Elliot tapped the keyboard a few times, switching to the surveillance camera inside the building's elevator.
Gavin's figure appeared in the footage again.
He entered the elevator and pressed the 38th-floor button.
The elevator slowly ascended.
Three minutes later, the elevator reached the 38th floor, and Gavin walked out.
His figure finally disappeared inside the door of a gaming company called "Group".
The surveillance footage ended there.
It was enough.
Gavin was on the 38th floor in the Group gaming company.
Next was Elliot's time to perform.
From the logistics company's internal network system, he found the 38th-floor Group company's WiFi network.
Then, using intrusion tools, he entered the Group company's internal WiFi network.
"Clatter!"
There was another burst of keyboard tapping sounds.
"Brothers, the moment to witness a miracle has arrived," Elliot said with a smile.
He pressed the Enter key.
In the live stream room, a video window appeared again. It was an office with three people inside.
"Where is this?" Noah asked.
"What you're seeing now is footage from the Group company's internal cameras. This is one of their offices. I can switch cameras; every office in 'Group' company has a camera," Elliot said.
As soon as he finished speaking, the footage switched to another office.
This was a multi-person office with seven or eight people inside, all sitting in front of computers, playing games.
At least on the surface, it indeed looked like a gaming company.
Gavin's figure was not seen.
Elliot continued to switch cameras.
He switched two more cameras. The footage from the third camera was a small office with six people and six computers inside.
"Streamer, I see my brother!" Noah suddenly shouted excitedly.
Elliot also saw Gavin.
He was sitting in the position on the far right.
Elliot's effort wasn't wasted; he really found Gavin.
[Awesome, the streamer actually found him!]
[Holy crap, amazing!]
[The skill is making my scalp tingle...]
[To be able to find this, it's simply divine!]
[Missing person return series.]
[I'm completely stunned!]
[Boss, you're simply a god!]
...
In the live stream room, the bullet comments exploded. The netizens were all shocked by Elliot's divine operation.
Everyone witnessed it firsthand: first finding a phone number from a photo, then locating the person from a turned-off phone number, and finally, through a series of "profound but hard to understand" operations, finding Gavin.
This wave of operations allowed the netizens to truly see how formidable a top
It was simply like watching the sci-fi blockbuster "The Matrix."
"Noah, the situation is very clear now. This company appears to be a gaming company on the surface, but in reality, it's a fraud den. Your brother is working here. What are your thoughts?" Elliot asked.
"...I... I don't know what to do either..." Noah's feelings were very complicated.
He should be happy about finding his elder brother, but what his elder brother was doing... His mind was a mess, and he didn't know what to do.
Elliot could understand Noah's feelings.
After all, that was his own brother.
If it were him, finding out a relative was involved in telecom fraud, he would probably also be at a loss.
"I've thought about it. Reporting directly to the police... I'm afraid that won't work," Elliot shook his head, dismissing that option.
"It really won't work. After all, Gavin is not in the country," Manager Lee chimed in, saying, "I suggest we can contact our embassy in Oasis."
"Manager Lee, do you know anyone at the embassy?" Elliot asked.
Manager Lee nodded and said, "I know some staff members at the embassy. We can ask the embassy to step forward and work with the local police in Oasis to investigate and apprehend the 'Group' company. If your brother is willing to cooperate, he might be able to atone for his crimes by performing meritorious service and have his sentence reduced. The premise is that he is willing to cooperate."
"I can try to convince my brother," Noah quickly said.
He also knew that now, cooperating with the police and atoning for his crimes by performing meritorious service was his brother's only way out.
"Hmm, this is also the only way," Elliot nodded.
"Streamer, can you contact my brother so I can talk to him for a few minutes? I'll try to convince him myself," Noah pleaded.
"No problem, leave it to me," Elliot readily agreed.
...
Oasis, Hadid Building, 38th floor, "Group" gaming company.
Gavin sat in front of the computer, restless and uneasy.
He picked up his phone, then put it down... Just now, his younger brother, Noah, had called.
It was this call that made him uneasy.
Gavin couldn't figure out how his younger brother knew his phone number.
Besides members of the internal group, it was impossible for anyone else to know this phone number.
"Gavin, how is that lead you're following?" a colleague next to him asked.
"It's going smoothly," Gavin shifted his gaze to the computer screen, opened a chat software, and pretended to work, hiding his inner unease.
"Ding!"
Suddenly, the chat software popped up a message notification: "Gavin, I am your younger brother Noah's friend."
Gavin was so startled he almost cried out. He quickly looked left and right, and only after seeing that his colleagues around him hadn't noticed him did he breathe a sigh of relief.
"Who are you?" Gavin suppressed his inner shock and replied to the message.
"I'm your younger brother's friend. He entrusted me to find you."
Gavin didn't reply but quickly closed the chat window.
He closed it out of fear.
After a moment of hesitation, he opened the chat window again and asked, "Who exactly are you?"
"I already told you, I'm your younger brother's friend. Your younger brother is also here. The one who called you just now was him."
"How did you know my phone number?" Gavin asked.
"Not only do I know your phone number, I also know you're in Oasis, on the 38th floor of the Hadid Building at the Group gaming company," the other party replied.
Immediately after, the other party sent three photos in a row, which were indeed images of Gavin sitting in the office.
"Thump!"
Gavin was so scared he stood up from his chair... He stood up halfway, then quickly sat back down, his eyes unable to hide his fear and unease.
The other party actually knew where he was and even had photos.
This... How is this possible?
Suddenly, as if thinking of something, Gavin abruptly raised his head and looked towards the surveillance camera in the corner of the office wall.
At this moment, another message popped up in the chat software: "Turn on your phone, your younger brother wants to talk to you personally."
Gavin looked left and right again, confirmed that no one was paying attention to him, then closed the chat window, picked up his phone, and stood up, saying, "Going to the restroom."
The others in the office were busy and no one paid attention to him.
Gavin walked out of the office. Outside was a corridor, and the restroom was at the end.
He entered the restroom, closed the door, and turned on his phone.
"Beep beep beep..."
The phone rang. Gavin hesitated for a moment, but still answered the call.
"Brother, I'm Noah."
Gavin quickly covered the phone's microphone, lowered his voice, and asked, "Noah, how did you find me?"
"A friend of mine helped me."
"What friend?"
"Don't worry about who my friend is for now. I always thought you were in the Northern Outlands. How did you end up in the Oasis area?" Noah asked after a slight hesitation, "Brother, are you involved in telecom fraud?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Gavin vehemently denied it.
"Brother, stop hiding it from me. Leave that place quickly, stop doing this, and come back to the country!"
"I'm running a gaming company here. Who told you such nonsense?" Gavin was still arguing.
"Brother, we all know. Your so-called gaming company is just a fraud group," Noah said, "Brother, let me tell you this: I'm in my friend's live stream room, and there are over 200,000 netizens watching you right now."
"What live stream room?" Gavin was completely confused, not understanding what his younger brother was saying at all.
"Tell him I'll send him a live stream link. He'll know once he sees it," Gavin heard a man's voice coming from his younger brother's phone.
"Brother, my friend said he'll send you a live stream link."
