In the blink of an eye, it was already midnight.
At this mont, on the floor of the café, a huge pit had been dug, nearly two ters deep. Several shirtless young n were holding electric drills, continuing to drill down. Around the pit, large piles of rubble and dirt were accumulating.
At this ti, a busy young man suddenly raised his head, looking at the middle-aged man who was about to fall asleep, and shouted excitedly, "Boss, we found it!"
Upon hearing the young man's words, the middle-aged man hurriedly stood up from his chair and quickly rushed to the pit. At the bottom of the pit, several bundles of electrical wires were exposed, each as thick as an adult's arm.
"Hurry, we don't have much ti."
"Boss, don't worry, it'll be sorted out soon." As he spoke, several young n put down their electric drills and picked up a small cutting machine, cutting open the protective skin outside the wires to expose the copper wire inside.
"Done! Boss, we can start working now."
The middle-aged man nodded, picked up his phone, and dialed a number. Within a few minutes, two bespectacled n walked in from outside the café. The two were dressed plainly, with ordinary looks, carrying several heavy boxes in their hands.
At the edge of the pit, one of the bespectacled n looked at the wires in the pit and nodded, "Well done. Boss Zhao is indeed efficient."
The middle-aged man known as Boss Zhao was none other than Zhao Zhengxiong.
Receiving the complint, Zhao Zhengxiong smiled and said, "Since it's a collaboration, of course, I have to be diligent. I'm afraid of any mishaps, so I personally oversee the work. All right, I've finished my tasks; it's ti for you to show your skills."
"No problem." After a pause, the bespectacled man said, "Boss Zhao, we will handle things here. You can have your n leave. Also, Mr. Ling asked to inform you to hurry and et him, so you don't miss the show."
Zhao Zhengxiong made an 'OK' gesture, nodded slightly, and said, "I'll head over now, thanks for your effort."
Soon after, watching the backs of Zhao Zhengxiong and others disappear at the café entrance, the two bespectacled n imdiately opened their boxes, taking out several computers and other devices, placing them around the pit. Then, they connected several wires to those in the pit.
Once everything was set, the two n moved to the computers, looking at the word 'searching' on the screen, their eyes showing a hint of tension and concern.
A few minutes passed, and the red progress bar of 'searching' suddenly turned green. Seeing the change on the screen, the two bespectacled n relaxed their brows and began to smile.
"Mr. Ling, things are fine on our end now."
"Good, wait for my signal."
At this mont, on the other side of the research base, a rcedes-Benz car was quietly parked by the roadside.
The suited man in the back seat had just put down his phone when he saw a Land Rover SUV drive up from behind and park behind the rcedes.
The car door opened, and as the middle-aged man got in, the suited man inside the rcedes smiled and said, "Mr. Zhao, pleased to work with you. Please, have a seat!"
"Mr. Ling is too kind." Zhao Zhengxiong smiled and sat beside him.
As the car door closed, Zhao Zhengxiong glanced at the suited man beside him and asked, "Mr. Ling, will tonight really be a success?"
"Mr. Zhao, rest assured, I have made all the necessary preparations. Tonight, we will certainly destroy Ling Chen's research base. Once his n are wiped out, East Sea City will be yours." After a pause, the middle-aged man continued, "When that ti cos, please do not forget our agreent."
"No need to worry about that; I won't go back on my word. Once I control East Sea City's underworld, I will surely help your God Organization establish a foothold."
"That would be ideal." Saying this, the suited man checked the ti and said, "It's almost ti, we should begin our operation."
...
Research Base.
Hu Fei was holding a bowl of instant noodles, sitting in front of a computer in the control center, eating noodles in large mouthfuls while looking at the data displayed on the screen.
"Fatty."
Hearing Tang Guolun's voice, Hu Fei replied unhappily, "I've told you many tis, don't call Fatty."
Tang Guolun smiled and said, "Well, there's no helping it, since you're the fattest one." After a pause, Tang Guolun changed the subject, "Hey! On a serious note, I just talked to the lawyer. There might be so trouble with Jiang Hao's situation. If it goes through the proper legal channels, he might be sentenced to a few years, unless we can work sothing out and smooth things over with the higher-ups, maybe then we can get him out on bail."
Hu Fei retorted ill-temperedly, "You're telling this just to get money out of , right? Alright, how much do you need this ti?"
"Not much, just need a couple of million to start with."
"Alright, I'll transfer it to you later, you…"
"Mr. Hu, Boss Tang!"
Before Hu Fei could finish, a technician in the control center suddenly shouted in panic. Hu Fei turned to look at him and asked, "What's up, why are you so jumpy?"
"It seems like our network has been cut off, and the computer system is malfunctioning."
Hearing this, Hu Fei's face slightly changed. Before he could speak, he saw his computer screen turn blue, and all the data was gone.
Seeing this situation, Hu Fei quickly dropped his instant noodles and started typing rapidly on the keyboard. However, after more than ten seconds, Hu Fei's brow gradually furrowed into a line.
"How's it going?" asked Tang Guolun, who was standing behind.
Hu Fei replied with a grim expression, "Not good, the system has a problem, it's being attacked by hackers, all the servers have crashed. Moreover, they are taking over the control of this base."
"Can't we stop them?"
Hu Fei didn't answer, he stood up and went to another computer. At this mont, only that computer in the entire control center was functioning normally.
"This computer is the mainfra of the base, what I can do now is try to delay, use reverse tracking to find their location, and then attempt to cut off their signal."
However, after a few minutes, Hu Fei's face suddenly changed, and he exclaid in surprise, "How can this be?"
"What is it?"
"I activated the reverse tracking program, but from the tracking results, they are attacking us using the base's internal network." At this point, Hu Fei laughed at himself.
"Indeed, I've set up so many firewalls that even the most skilled hacker could not easily break through. The fact that they can easily attack our systems and servers ans they must be using the base's internal network."
Tang Guolun said in a deep voice, "Are you saying… there's an insider in the base?"
