A few magical girls exchanged glances, unsure why the other two hadn’t shown up.
Real identities among magical girls are usually not easily revealed to other teammates; only close-knit groups that spend time privately know each other.
For example, Lian Ge and Feng Ling came together, Shan Die came with Chen Tan, Chiyun came alone, and the two absent ones probably had their own circle.
The remaining magical girls couldn’t contact them.
“Well, then let’s forget about them, Qia.”
Qia Bi lay in the center of the table, head tilted toward Lian Ge: “Lian Ge dear, go ahead and explain to everyone what happened.”
“Alright, I’ll now explain what we discovered.”
Lian Ge stood up, opened the notebook on the table, and using the key points she had recorded, she explained in detail how she and Feng Ling discovered that the Momo Ointment contained the concept of “Jealousy” magic power, how they repeatedly verified it, and the general situation of Enchantment Technology Co., Ltd.
“That’s roughly the situation.”
She closed the notebook, scanning everyone present.
“Does anyone have any good ideas?”
Shan Die waved her little fist and said: “Do we even need to discuss something like this?”
“Knowing which company did it, just go and attack them, isn’t that enough? Threaten to tear their company apart, see if they dare add strange things to the ointment again.”
Chen Tan sighed softly, reached out and lightly tapped Shan Die’s forehead.
Shan Die didn’t dodge at all, just muttered discontentedly, “Why are you poking me again?”
“Listen carefully to the captain. Captain Lian Ge already mentioned that this would easily alert the enemy, not very appropriate…”
“So I think it’s better to first enter their company under the guise of a tour to find clues, then analyze which part might have gone wrong after we return.”
“Also, if we encounter obstacles during the tour, we can consider using infiltration to gather information in the shadows.”
“As expected of Sister Chen Tan, you easily thought of a method I hadn’t considered.”
Shan Die said with an admiring expression.
“What does everyone think?”
“I agree.”
Lian Ge nodded.
Currently, her understanding of this company was limited to some online information.
She indeed needed to obtain more internal intelligence to decide how to proceed.
“I also agree.”
Feng Ling repeated.
“Does anyone have any other ideas?”
Lian Ge pressed further.
Chiyun remained silent, Feng Ling was a repeater, and Lian Ge didn’t have any better ideas.
No one raised any objections, so the plan was set.
“Alright, since you’ve all confirmed this plan, I as the captain will go investigate along with Feng Ling, who can detect this magic power.”
“Lian Ge, I want to go too.”
Chiyun suddenly raised her hand and said.
Lian Ge certainly wasn’t like Chiyun and Feng Ling who participated in missions just to grab traffic.
She made her decision based on the strength and cooperation of the magical girls.
“I think this matter might be a long-term mission. If too many people go, it could affect the daily task arrangements of the magical girls.”
“Demon Beasts won’t stop appearing just because we’re investigating. Patrols and battles in other areas still need personnel. So for this evidence-gathering investigation, let Feng Ling and me go together.”
Faced with Lian Ge’s gentle refusal, Chiyun withdrew her raised hand and gave a light snort, but she didn’t object.
“So calling us here was just a formality…”
Shan Die said discontentedly.
“This also improves magical girl cohesion, Qia. And through participating in discussions, everyone can see more possibilities that might threaten peace. It’s worth everyone’s involvement, Qia.”
Qia Bi raised a paw and said.
Shan Die obviously wasn’t buying this overly standard positive energy rhetoric.
Just as she was about to mutter a few more words, Chen Tan’s hand had already landed on her shoulder.
“Understood, thank you to Qia Bi and Captain Lian Ge for the arrangement.”
Chen Tan said while pressing Shan Die’s shoulder to make her bow slightly.
“Then we’ll take our leave. We’ll diligently replace Feng Ling and Captain Lian Ge for their daily patrols.”
Shan Die was pressed to finish bowing, then pushed by Chen Tan out of the meeting room.
Chiyun also stood up from her chair.
Before leaving, she glanced at Feng Ling and Lian Ge.
Her eyes flickered as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn’t speak.
She just dropped a “I’m leaving” and pushed the door open to go out.
In the meeting room, only two magical girls and one Qia Bi remained.
“So next is our mission. Should we go directly?”
Although the plan to use a tour as an excuse was approved at the meeting, she hadn’t actually thought through the specifics.
Using the magical girl identity to pressure them into opening their doors for inspection, the other side would most likely not dare refuse outright, and she could take whatever she wanted.
But that was hard to guarantee.
Lian Ge and Feng Ling had no understanding of this industry at all, and could easily be deceived.
Even if they needed to collect evidence, they wouldn’t know where to start.
And magical girls couldn’t really just “get along” with these staff members and force them to reveal where the problem was, could they?
While Lian Ge was still hesitating, Feng Ling was thinking about how to rip off this company for some extra profit.
After all, they had leverage on this company.
As righteous magical girls, they certainly had to bleed such social parasites.
Not to mention that Feng Ling had happily taken a promotion to earn some hard-earned money, only to be forced into an investigation instead, costing her several days of not being able to do missions or gather live streaming material.
She was getting angry.
If she didn’t make this company bleed a bit, wouldn’t Feng Ling be at a loss for nothing?
Whenever it came to making money, Feng Ling’s mind started working, and she soon had an idea.
“Lian Ge, I have an idea. Let’s go.”
Feng Ling clenched her fist and struck her palm, suddenly brimming with confidence.
Before Lian Ge could ask what idea she had, Feng Ling had already pushed open the meeting room door and walked out boldly.
Lian Ge could only follow the jingling bell sound of Feng Ling running and chase after her.
Enchantment Technology Co., Ltd. had a sizable branch in Haicheng.
The branch’s office building was located in the city center, while the production factory was built in an industrial park on the city’s edge, a considerable distance apart.
Feng Ling and Lian Ge’s target was naturally the factory that produced this product first.
It didn’t take long for them to fly to the edge of the city.
Looking down from the air, they could see the factory.
The outer perimeter of Enchantment Technology’s factory was an iron fence.
Inside the fence, several white factory buildings were lined up in order.
The greenery in between was quite well done, a sign of the big company’s leisure.
Feng Ling landed on the roadside not far from the factory’s main gate.
Lian Ge followed her down.
Feng Ling felt around in her skirt pocket and quickly took out her phone.
