So to speak.
Compared to before,
he thought his team was now more "pure."
They could accomplish a great deal.
To be honest, they once paid a hacker they knew to see if he could break into the Myanmar Pharmaceutical Group’s reservation system, but in the end, after two days, the hacker quietly returned the money.
And he also told him, "Our collaboration is over."
He didn’t know
that when the hacker said this, he was already breaking out in a cold sweat. Because a minute after attempting the hack, he’d lost control of his computer. His screen displayed all his personal information.
Na.
Phone number.
Ho address.
Social relationships.
All properties and accounts under his na, bank card PINs, dical records, and even annotations on how every bit of his inco in recent years ca about—the more he read, the colder his heart felt, eventually turning into fear.
At the end,
there was a ssage that read: "Turn back, and you will find salvation."
...
Wu Song could only curse and swear, calling the person trash, but he dared not offend him too much, because it was this man who had helped build their cybersecurity and helped erase VoIP traces and records.
At this mont,
a bald young man walked into Wu Song’s office, excitedly telling Wu Song, "Bro, we got another one."
"Still, this business makes money fast, haha."
Wu Song laughed.
He took a sip of his favorite Pepsi Cola.
"Damn right we deserve to make money."
...
In Beijing,
a task force was temporarily ford.
To oversee the case.
After locking down the address,
they started to examine the surveillance around the neighborhood. Quickly, with the help of the enhanced "Skynet System," footage from the past three days at the neighborhood’s entrance was retrieved, with "Skynet System" analyzing it fra by fra.
To et the functionality of the "Skynet System,"
non-high-definition surveillance equipnt
had already been explicitly prohibited in the work safety procurent contracts.
Checking was also simple.
Once connected,
as soon as the "Skynet System" was tested, it could imdiately identify any issues. Thus, there was no room for substandard products in these purchases, and any rchants trying to substitute inferior goods were instantly exposed.
If the "Skynet" tests failed,
they would imdiately be held accountable by superiors.
It was also thanks to the neighborhood’s high-definition surveillance caras.
In just a few seconds,
the tech staff reported, "Apart from the security guards, shop owners, and people regularly entering and leaving for work, two individuals were spotted too frequently, lurking around the front and back entrances every day."
"Their behavior is suspicious, marked as unemployed, and previously detained for ’telecom fraud.’ These two were detained together in the past. We suspect that they are most likely their lookouts."
"Inform the local authorities, and apprehend them."
"Yes."
They were gradually realizing the power of the Skynet System.
Ever since the country stepped up the developnt of the surveillance network, more caras had been integrated, offering them the convenience of locating offenders.
With just a photograph,
enter it into Skynet,
and it would use the database for matching and tracking. However, due to the current servers being too slow and too few, they were unable to cover the entire nationwide surveillance.
Therefore,
they needed many data centers
and supercomputers.
Faced with the massive computational demands, they kept submitting reports, asking for money and equipnt, wishing they could just be given dozens of data centers to handle these increasingly enormous data sets.
...
The information reached the local authorities.
Without delay,
the city bureau imdiately organized a team to capture Wu Song’s fraud ring. For such a minor case, Beijing didn’t need to send anyone. Hence, in just half an hour, Wu Song was captured, his face ashen.
Indeed, quick money,
quick arrest.
The evidence was irrefutable.
This ti he was the leader.
No question about it.
With all that money still in his account and not transferred out, he was definitely going to be charged with a cri. He racked his brain but couldn’t figure out how they had found him. Then he thought of the hacker—that was the most likely scenario.
...
At the city bureau.
"Wu Song, an hour ago, did you guys make a call to a man nad Mi Hao, claiming you could obtain dicine that could cure leukemia, and afterwards, impersonated an employee of Myanmar Pharmaceutical Group to gain his trust?"
"I... I don’t know!" Wu Song shook his head. He genuinely didn’t know.
"The records are on your subordinate’s computer; denial is pointless."
"Then... It might be."
In the end.
Wu Song confessed all the facts.
The city bureau reported to Beijing.
...
On the bus.
Mi Hao was playfully interacting with his daughter.
The phone rang again.
Seeing an unknown number, he thought it was those people from before, attempting to swindle his money, so he chuckled and pressed the answer button. That fake Myanmar Pharmaceutical Group Mandarin with a dialect accent almost made him burst into laughter just before.
The person on the other end was quite arrogant.
They only spoke a few sentences before hanging up.
Then that swindler from earlier called again; naturally, Mi Hao just said he’d think about it, not exposing them on the spot. They seed anxious, claiming that there was a limited supply and he could queue for 5000 yuan.
Mi Hao ntioned he was on a bus,
which shut the other side up.
He told them to call back tomorrow.
How long had it been since then?
"Hello?"
"Mr. Mi Hao?"
"That’s ."
"We’re from Huaxia’s Industrial Security Departnt. You recently encountered a group committing phone fraud, falsely claiming they could acquire dicine to treat your daughter’s leukemia. Is this true?"
Upon hearing the serious tone, Mi Hao hurriedly replied, "Ah? You are... Yeah, it’s true."
"We’ve arrested that group. We also want to offer our congratulations on your daughter’s recovery. If you receive any more suspicious calls asking for a transfer of funds, please report them directly to the police."
In the transferred official docunt,
Myanmar’s Security Departnt also ntioned the case. Knowing that Mi Hao had received a fraud call, their security departnt contacted them, which they found quite unbelievable. The power of Myanmar Pharmaceutical Group was indeed vast.
As soon as sothing involved them,
It was Myanmar’s Security Departnt in swift oversight.
"Did you really catch them?"
"Yes."
"That’s great; these harmful scamrs, attempting to steal people’s lifesaving money, are despicable," Mi Hao snorted. If his daughter hadn’t been cured, he might have actually believed them.
"We will process them according to law, goodbye."
"Goodbye."
After hanging up,
Mi Hao was still a bit dazed.
Since when were such cases so easily solved? However, police affairs weren’t his to ddle in. He thought about calling Rong Wei, but then, considering Rong Wei’s busy schedule, he did not make the call.
"What’s wrong?" the girl beside him asked curiously.
Just before,
Many people had overheard and knew soone had tried to deceive Mi Hao out of his money; they were filled with righteous indignation. Many even shared experiences of people they knew who had been victims of phone fraud, and there were outbursts of cursing.
"Those swindlers got caught," said Mi Hao.
"That fast?"
"I guess they took action because it involved the Myanmar Pharmaceutical Group. Otherwise, it would’ve been an overstep of authority. These heartless scamrs, deceiving people with just a phone call, can steal a person’s lifeti savings."
"In my opinion, those making the calls should be sentenced to ten or eight years."
"..."
"Fuck."
"..."
During the trip, the ’Xi Ba’ from earlier had not stopped, and this ti, Mi Hao guessed the Korean girl did not understand what they were saying or perhaps found their discussion too noisy.
Suddenly,
A voice sounded ahead on the bus, "Attention driver, there has been a traffic accident four kiloters ahead. Please reduce your speed below fifty kiloters per hour and maintain a safe following distance. Thank you for your cooperation."
Upon hearing this,
Everyone in the vehicle went silent.
The driver was also chatty
And explained, "This is a mandatory Road Special Event Announcent System installed in this area. It normally doesn’t speak, but it will alert the driver in case of speeding or other illegal actions, and during special circumstances."
"Oh..."
So, that’s what it was.
Afterwards, they noticed that the vehicles ahead and behind had begun to slow down, but there was no congestion. It was only after turning a bend that they finally saw the distant accident scene, thankful that they were lucky the vehicles ahead were just small cars.
In a short while,
The bus ca to a halt.
At this point,
Another surprising announcent ca through.
"The assessnt of the accident’s damage and determination of responsibility is complete; three vehicles have dium damage, no fatalities, two with minor injuries. Road-clearing vehicles will arrive at the scene in five minutes, and it is estimated that traffic will resu in ten minutes. Please do not use the ergency lane or exit the vehicle arbitrarily. Thank you for your cooperation."
