"Uncle Wang, I really can't find anyone else, and on this dock, I don't know a single person, even after so many years. Now, you are the only one I know, so I just want to get a definitive answer from you."

"It's not that Uncle Wang doesn't want to help you, but this is really a confidential document. If Uncle Wang were to give you these things at this time, then my entire life's reputation would be completely ruined. I really want to help you, but I really can't give it to you."

To her surprise, Wang Sheng had actually refused her. To tell the truth, when Lin Yaru heard this, she indeed felt a bit unexpected and admittedly, a bit disappointed.

She had thought that this man could help her, but unexpectedly, he did not. Therefore, after seeing all this, Lin Yaru's heart could not quite accept it.

"Alright, Yaru, no matter what, you did come today. At noon today, I'll arrange something special for you in the cafeteria. Right, just wait here for me for a moment, I'll go to the cafeteria and ask them to cook a few good dishes—all fresh seafood from around here. Be sure to have a good taste. Just wait here, don't go anywhere, I'll be back soon, wait for me."

As he spoke, Wang Sheng turned and left. At that moment, Lin Yaru felt somewhat bewildered.

He turned his head to glance at Ye Chen, but did not expect to see Ye Chen smiling at Lin Yaru.

"What does that mean? Didn't you see? He really isn't willing to help me. If so, it seems I've really misjudged him."

"Not willing to help you? Don't you understand what that means?"

"What does it mean? Isn't he just arranging for me to have a meal? I'm really not in the mood for that right now. I feel like my visit today was indeed presumptuous, and also, I've oversimplified this matter. Let's go, I don't want to ask him anymore."

"Are you being silly? He kept saying over and over he doesn't want to give you the thing, and mentioned it's a confidential document. Have you thought about what it means for him to leave the room at this time? Isn't this giving you an opportunity?"

"You mean, he wants me to find it myself?"

"It's quite obvious, and additionally, we shouldn't delay any longer. I'll go outside to keep watch for you, there shouldn't be any problem. You hurry up and search his desk, there's a bookshelf over there, and then his computer on top. Only these two places could hold it, everything else is too exposed. Hurry up."

Although Lin Yaru hadn't fully grasped the idea, after listening to Ye Chen's analysis, she understood that Uncle Wang truly didn't have the courage, and he must have left her an out on purpose.

Therefore, Lin Yaru started to take action here, rummaging through the cabinets.

Unexpectedly, the Marine Map was indeed hidden inside a folder. As she opened it, she glanced and did not find what she was looking for; it was the local Marine Map and it had been hand-drawn.

Such a complete Marine Map could not be found online, so the authenticity of this was very important to him.

He took out his phone and snapped photos of the map straight onto his phone, and then Lin Yaru enlarged it to have a better look.

The whole image was relatively clear, and finally, he restored the map to its original state and returned it to the folder.

"Okay, I now have it on my phone. When we get back, we can enlarge it and print it out; we should be able to see something."

"Okay, I got it."

After finishing speaking, he just nodded, then sat back down in his original spot.

About five minutes later, footsteps could be heard from the hallway outside. Lin Yaru straightened her clothes, pretending as if nothing had happened.

"Look, I've just spoken to the cafeteria, and this morning, we just got a delivery of fresh seafood. So, Yaru, you are in luck for lunch today."

"Uncle Wang, I'm really sorry. I received a call just now and I must rush back immediately, so I'll pass on lunch. Maybe another time. If I get the chance, I'll look into it here properly."

"But how come you're leaving all of a sudden? After all the trouble to get here, at least have a meal before you go, eh? What's so urgent that it can't wait until the afternoon?"

"Uncle Wang, I'm really sorry, this time I truly can't stay. Hurry and let me write my phone number in your notebook, we'll keep in touch if anything comes up. Like this, goodbye Uncle Wang."

"Ah, let me walk you out."

As they spoke, the two of them quickly left the room, and in a flash, they left the office building.

After leaving that place, Lin Yaru sighed deeply, not expecting that although the event was perilously close, at the very least her objective had been achieved.

He obtained what he wanted, and that thing was of utmost importance to him, perhaps only he could truly understand this.

The two of them quickly retraced their original path, then returned to their car. When all was said and done, he checked the time; from their arrival at the dock to now, a whole four hours had passed.

Though it seemed like a long time, they felt it went by quickly, for they still had many clues yet to be sorted out.

"Alright, is there anything else?"

"Nothing for now, the main point is, we have obtained two highly damaged items and that Marine Map. I feel for all of this, it should be fine now. Let's first check out what exactly are the two items we got earlier."

As she spoke, Lin Yaru adjusted her seat, then took out all of the things that had been passed to her inside the car.
