The investigators sent by the authorities were shocked when they learned about the major developments at Dream Technology and the true situation on Misty Island. The investigator hurriedly took his leave and returned to Beijing, where he faithfully relayed the intelligence he had received from Yan Fei. Yan Fei, however, did not take the matter too seriously. After the investigator had left Dream Technology, he immediately set out for Misty Island, continuing to move large quantities of yellow sand from Western Province to Misty Island Sea Area.
A week later, accompanied by Yu Xiaozhou, a group of stern-faced middle-aged men returned to Dream Technology. Under the arrangements of Lu Pingping, they boarded a Dream Transportation cruise ship specially for transporting new recruits to Misty Island to personally verify and understand the situation there.
