Kane held a logbook that was compatible with those two gates. Whenever anyone passed through them, the relevant data would be automatically reported in his hand.
If any physical anomalies were found, such as traces of being gene-modified, regardless of whether the person was dead or alive, an alert would sound and the indicator light would turn blaring red.
He could imagine the excessive shock that a revelation scene of him having undergone genetic modification would cause to everyone watching. Professor Yan was worried that the hearts of these young peopleβ¦ his former students especially, wouldnβt be able to take it.
Besides, he had yet to unearth the full story behind the explosion case. He was out in the open whereas the enemy was still lurking in the shadows; itΒ wasnβt a good time for him to so quickly announce that βI have a secret identityβ. While he wasnβt scared, there wasnβt any need for him to invite trouble so soon.
But the gate was already brought before him, and Kane was also an impersonal stickler to the rules. What should he do to avoid this awkward situationβ¦
Yan Suizhi propped a hand under his chin. His fingers tapped a leisurely rhythm, and a polite smile very faintly hung off the corners of his lips. Out of everyone around, his pose was the most composed and relaxed; not a trace of anything amiss could be seen.
Without speaking to him, no one would ever be able to tell that he was lost in thought.
This facade was certainly impeccable in front of the unaware. They would only take him as an intern, an outsider carrying no burden in his heart.
But Gu Yan was different.
When he first entered law school and became a student under Yan Suizhi, he was genuinely deceived by the deanβs disposition and smile, believing that he was prepared for everything, thus never panicked about anything.
However, anyΒ living, breathing person would always have moments when they made an oversightβhow could everything really be within expectations?
Later on, after getting to know him longer, Gu Yan finally understood. It wasnβt that a certain dean was omniscient enough to be prepared for everything. Rather, whether or not he was prepared, come hell or high water, he would never ever expose the slightest sign of it in his behaviour.
Only god knows where he got such confidence from.
Gu Yan watched the small movements that Yan Suizhiβs fingers made. It was a tiny gesture that the esteemed Professor Yan would unconsciously make when deep in thought, but it shouldnβt be known to many.
After all, there were few students who would enter the deanβs office back then, and even fewer students who would stay there for the entire afternoon. Therefore, those who could see a certain dean deeply lost in thought could basically be called a lucky koi.

This was what Kane paid particular attention to.
Koi Gu shot a glance at the policemen busying about. Then, he projected his smart device screen, sending a message to a friend:
-Is there a quick way to remotely tamper with the system results for a device like a detection gate?
As a lawyer, one would often come across cases concerning fantastic oddities of every description, some of which touch on knowledge from a wide range of subject topics.
This professional knowledge could only be obtained from specialised study. Thus, for the sake of the case, lawyers would often have to consult experts in various fields, making inquiries to confirm the likelihood of particular scenarios occurring or being overturned.
Gu Yan, naturally, wasnβt exempt from this.
The other party wasnβt at all surprised to receive this message, thinking that the distinguished Lawyer Gu was doing guesswork or restoring the details of another case. He sent two successive messages over:
-Of course.
-Are you asking about a top-secret, hush-hush type of method?
As the distinguished Lawyer Gu stared at these two messages, he couldnβt help but feel that he was secretly conducting some kind of shady business.
He lightly clicked his tongue, sweeping a gaze over at a certain someone who was making trouble for him.
Then, looking away, he typed with a poker face:Β [Yes. The tools available were very limited, possibly only a smart device. The time frame was tight as well, within three minutes or less.]
The other swiftly replied:Β [If the perpetrator you are simulating doesnβt have any accomplices, then he would have to be an advanced hacker, maybe just a little less capable than me.]
Gu β’ Perpetrator β’ Yan, β…β
Well, theoretically, he had an accomplice. The other was the main perpetrator. He was only an abettor, at best.
But, alas. The main perpetrator was too bold, had zero sense of self-awareness, and possibly even wanted to go to jail.
The friend that Gu Yan consulted, perhaps wanting to flex his competency in this niche, immediately put the idea into practice.
After a minute, Gu Yan received a very small program file.
Another message swiftly followed:
[Did you receive the program I sent you? You can try and simulate it right now. Open the file, key in βsearch for nearby signalsβ on the sixth line. If there are any detection gates or the like in the vicinity, your smart device will automatically connect to it. Once it says βsuccessβ, type βeβ in the last line to rig the test to show an βerrorβ result, type in βrβ to rig the test to give a random result, or type a space to show the opposite of the original result.]
Gu Yan read this exceedingly reactionary content with a calm expression.
Such a friend who would readily give you rain when you asked for wind was a godsend.
-Please make sure that you wonβt be asked to go to a police station before trying it.
His friend messaged him again.
β…β
Apologies. Iβm about to make this attempt right under the nose of the police.
Lawyer Gu didnβt even bat an eyelid, straightaway setting things into motion.
Chief Kane had already led his subordinates to arrange both detection gates in place, and his logbook was ready to go as well.
βExcuse me, would it be alright if I made a trip to the washroom?β George Manson lifted a finger.
If there really were physical modifications made, it wasnβt something that could be fixed just by a trip to the washroom.
Chief Kane was very assured regarding this. So he simply shrugged, saying, βHelp yourself. Then letβs just begin with the ladies.β
After George Manson started it, several others in the hall who also needed to go to the washroom got up as well.
βThen Iβll go too. From the looks of it, it wonβt be ending anytime soon.β
βMe too.β
βPardon, Iβm going to get a glass of water from the kitchen.β Amidst the trivial smattering of voices, Yan Suizhi, who had been sitting calmly all this while, also raised a finger.
As soon as he spoke, Gu Yan lifted his eyes.
He couldnβt be blamed for being sensitive. The blame for this rested on a certain someone who never knew his place. Just what was he going to do in a kitchen at a time like this?
Gu Yanβs eyebrows drew together slightly.
By chance, Yan Suizhi met his gaze when getting up. He openly smiled at him then walked towards the kitchen.
In fact, Professor Yan was struck by sudden inspiration.
This idea was untested, though it was very intriguing nevertheless. It was very simple and he couldnβt guarantee that it would work. Only, if it didβ¦
The effect might be⦠a tad destructive.
Sorry about that, my dear industrious friend, Kane.
Yan Suizhi walked unhurriedly towards the kitchen, an empty glass in hand. Despite giving a silent apology in his mind, there wasnβt the slightest look of contrition on his face at all.Β He was a bonafide rogue, through and through.
Yan is definitely up to no good.
I wonder how Guy didn’t end up with grey hair cause of the troubles he has to fix for the unaware Dean π .
