His originally brisk feet seemed to be driven into the ground by two nails. Zheng Yubai felt as if his body was heavy as a thousand pounds and he could not move. He turned his head with great effort and saw Lan Ruoer huddled in a corner of the tunnel, singing a deep song in her mellow voice. As the song became heavier, Zheng Yubai's heart seemed to be weighed down by a thousand pounds.
"You... stop singing." Zheng Yubai had no other choice. He knew that this was the power of Lan Ruoer's hypnosis. If it weren't for his iron determination, he would have been unconscious at this moment and completely controlled by Lan Ruoer.
Lan Ruo'er obviously didn't expect that her superpower could only make Zheng Yubai unable to move, but couldn't make him lose his consciousness. Her face changed and her voice paused for a moment. Zheng Yubai seized this fleeting opportunity and flew over to cover her mouth, but before he rushed to her side, the singing became smooth again, and Zheng Yubai's body froze in the middle of the song, and stopped helplessly.
Although he had encountered Yang Feiyan's more powerful immobilization technique, it was just a prank. Now it was a fierce fight between the enemy and us. Fortunately, Fang Hongjin fled like a stray dog, not even daring to turn his head back, otherwise if he and Lan Ruoer cooperated, Zheng Yubai would be dead.
"Why are you doing this..." Zheng Yubai sighed, "Fang Hongjin is using you as a shield to save himself. Is it worth it for you to risk your life for someone like him?"
Lan Ruoer did not answer. She seemed to remember that negligence had almost led to a disaster. She sang without stopping. Although there was a little hesitation and sadness in her eyes, her superpowers were not compromised at all.
Seeing that she was unmoved, Zheng Yubai continued, "There are people from the Special Affairs Management Bureau outside. Fang Hongjin can't escape. You can't escape either. If you are willing to surrender, they will definitely not make things difficult for you."
Lan Ruoer was very panicked, which could be seen from her trembling body. After all, she was a child who was not yet twenty years old, and these life-and-death matters were too far away from her. Hearing Zheng Yubai's half-persuasion and half-threatening words, Lan Ruoer's voice trembled a little. Although it did not affect the use of superpowers, Zheng Yubai saw the clues of the fortress collapsing from the inside.
"Surrender." Zheng Yubai said again, his voice unconsciously carrying a hint of bewitching. He himself didn't notice it, and Lan Ruo'er didn't notice it either. Her singing voice was too low, reflecting in the tunnel, and seemed to confuse her as well.
Seeing Lan Ruo'er's panic, Zheng Yubai continued to attack her: "If you are unwilling to surrender, you'd better leave early. Once the people outside come in and discover the tunnel, you won't be able to escape even if you have wings."
Lan Ruoer trembled all over, and timidly looked back to the depths of the deep tunnel. Finally, she walked past Zheng Yubai, singing softly as she walked into the darkness. Zheng Yubai sighed and watched her figure gradually disappear into the darkness.
After a while, Lan Ruoer's singing finally disappeared, and Zheng Yubai relaxed all over, and was able to move. He felt a layer of cold sweat all over his body, and then he realized that Lan Ruoer's superpower was so powerful that it could not only hypnotize people's minds, but also hypnotize people's bodies. This is simply the most powerful weapon of mental attack.
Walking forward along the tunnel, Zheng Yubai tried not to make any noise, fearing that Lan Ruoer would find him and hypnotize him again. However, after he walked a few dozen meters, he saw the end of the tunnel in front of him, where there was a ball of light. Zheng Yubai quickly walked to the end and looked up. There was a hole on it. He climbed out and saw that this was already a quiet street a few hundred meters outside the villa area. This place was a distance away from the villa, and no one was monitoring it, but Fang Hongjin and Lan Ruoer escaped.
He returned to the villa in a huff. The smoke had long since dispersed, and a large number of agents were cleaning up the battlefield. The bodies of Matthews and others who had been killed were neatly placed at the entrance of the villa, and Loach had already been sent there to be imprisoned with the four aliens who had been captured earlier.
"Yubai, where have you been?" Leng Tie was relieved to see Zheng Yubai returning safely.
Zheng Yubai told Leng Tie what happened just now. Leng Tie frowned and said, "I didn't expect there is another tunnel here. It seems they have prepared for it."
The owner of the villa is a wealthy man who returned from the United States. The Special Affairs Administration has just discovered that he is a fund manager of a financial branch of Warner Corporation. From the day the villa was built, an underground tunnel for escape has been dug. It seems that Warner Corporation has already set up a secret base in Jinghai, and their conspiracy may have been secretly arranged many years ago.
Zheng Yubai knew very well how powerful the Skull and Bones Society was. The reason why the Skull and Bones Society coveted Jinghai so much was largely because Yan Dao Tang controlled 99% of the power in Jinghai. And if they wanted to break Yan Dao Tang's control over this Asia's leading metropolis, they naturally had to insert many needles first. Unfortunately, this time their action completely failed before it even started.
After completely destroying the Skull and Bones Society's conspiracy, Zheng Yubai finally put his worries to rest. Although Fang Hongjin and Lan Ruoer escaped, they were outnumbered and would not be able to accomplish anything. Moreover, the Special Affairs Management Bureau had set up a dragnet in Jinghai this time, and they would investigate even the most powerful people. Unless Fang Hongjin had the ability to dig a hole and fly into the sky, he would not be able to escape this city-wide manhunt.
It was already early in the morning when he returned home. Zheng Yubai tiptoed into the house, fearing to wake up the person who was still sleeping. But as soon as he entered the house, he saw Yu Luo appear in front of him with a smile on his face.
"Why did you get up so early?" Zheng Yubai was stunned. It was only five o'clock. Why did Yu Luo, this lazy little cat, get up out of her normal state? You know, she usually loves to stay in bed.
Yu Luo curled his lips and said, "I haven't slept yet. I took an order from a client yesterday and just finished it."
Since the opening of the computer service company, Yu Luo has been a very busy person. Her talents have finally been reflected. She has made many computer security solutions for major companies and has become well-known in the computer security field in Beijing. However, these customers certainly don't know that Yu Luo's real identity is the famous "YUKI" on the international hacker website.
"Then go to bed quickly. Be careful of getting dark circles under your eyes if you stay up late all the time." Zheng Yubai said with a smile.
Yu Luo chuckled and asked curiously, "Brother Yu Bai, where have you been? Why did you come back so late?"
"I... have some work to do." Zheng Yubai didn't want to make Yu Luo worry.
"Tsk, you must have been in a fight. Look how dirty you are." Yu Luo pointed at Zheng Yubai's clothes. Zheng Yubai then realized that he had a lot of dirt and dust on his body when he was tracking Fang Hongjin and Lan Ruoer in the tunnel. At this moment, he was dirty and looked like a clay man who had just crawled out of the rubble.
“Well…” Zheng Yubai was still not very good at lying. He scratched his head, not knowing how to conceal the truth.
"Tell the truth! Did you secretly do anything to let your sister down?" When he was not busy with work, Yu Luo was still as eager to create chaos in the world as before. But now he revealed his curious and mischievous nature and pressed Zheng Yubai to answer.
Zheng Yubai had no choice but to tell the story again. Yu Luo became more and more angry as he listened, and said angrily: "These guys are too outrageous. I just opened the company and they want to mess it up. Isn't this destroying my job?"
Zheng Yubai smiled bitterly, thinking that your job is not worth their while, they want to destroy all the jobs in Jinghai. However, Yu Luo did not seem to want to delve into the difference. She kept muttering something like Warner was a big bad guy, and chatted with Zheng Yubai for a while before returning to her room mysteriously.
After sending away Yu Luo, the little troublemaker, Zheng Yubai was just about to go back to his room to catch up on some sleep when Xu Jin's door opened. The beautiful woman poked her head out of the door and winked at Zheng Yubai.
Zheng Yubai understood and flashed into Xu Jin's room, and said embarrassedly: "Did I wake you up?"
"Where have you been? You're so dirty. Take off your clothes and I'll wash them for you." When Xu Jin saw Zheng Yubai all dirty, she immediately showed the excellent qualities of a good wife and mother. She took off all of Zheng Yubai's clothes and threw them into the washing machine.
Although Zheng Yubai was bare-chested and bare-armed, he did not feel embarrassed. Although he and Xu Jin were not yet husband and wife, they had physical contact. Seeing Xu Jin busying around to pick up his dirty clothes, Zheng Yubai felt warm in his heart.
While the clothes were tumbling in the washing machine, Zheng Yubai wiped his body and lay on the bed hugging Xu Jin. The two of them whispered to each other and fell asleep unknowingly.
It was already two o'clock in the afternoon when Zheng Yubai got up. Xu Jin had already gone to work at the computer company. The three old men at home were nowhere to be found. They probably went to Yu Luo's company to play chess and bicker. There was food in the kitchen that Xu Jin had left for Zheng Yubai. After a hearty meal, he was about to go to the safe apartment to take a look when the phone rang. It was Leng Tie calling.
"Yu Bai, did you do this?" Leng Tie's voice was unusually hurried.
"What?" Zheng Yubai asked in confusion when he heard such a nonsensical question.
"The collapse of Warner's global network system has nothing to do with you?" Leng Tie asked again.
"What is that?" Zheng Yubai had no idea such a thing existed.
After hearing Zheng Yubai's answer, Leng Tie knew that the matter had nothing to do with him, but he still explained: "Warner's network system is an important channel for managing and controlling global branches. Starting at 7 o'clock this morning, Warner's network system was attacked by hackers and was completely paralyzed within 30 minutes. Hundreds of his companies couldn't even make calls, and all work was in a state of collapse."
"Is it that serious?" After hearing Leng Tie's detailed explanation, Zheng Yubai's mind immediately popped up the image of a lawless little girl.
"It's very serious. Warner has hundreds of branches all over the world. So far, their network has been paralyzed for more than six hours, and the loss is about one billion US dollars per hour." Leng Tie said seriously.
"One billion dollars an hour!" Zheng Yubai took a deep breath. This was really an astronomical figure. Warner Bros. had failed to gain anything from Jinghai. Not only did they lose the lives and freedom of a group of aliens, but they were also retaliated by someone. This was really the cycle of justice.
"It is said that this hacker is from Jinghai. Now Interpol is in chaos and wants us to hand over the person." Leng Tie's tone suddenly changed, and he said with a bit of gloating, "But we think this hacker is not a troublemaker, but a national hero."
Zheng Yubai found it ridiculous to think that a certain girl was crowned as a national hero. He said very "sincerely": "Uncle Leng, I really don't know who did it."
Perhaps because he didn't believe Zheng Yubai would lie, Leng Tie believed Zheng Yubai. After hanging up the phone, Zheng Yubai immediately called Yu Luo's company.
"Hello. This is Jinluo Computer Service Company. How can I help you?" It was Xu Jin who answered the phone. Her voice was sweet and soft.
"It's me..." Zheng Yubai said, "Where's Luo Luo? What did she do today?"
"Luoluo has been busy since she arrived in the morning." Xu Jin said, "She has turned on ten computers at the same time. It is said that she is working on a big project."
"What time did it start?" Zheng Yubai asked again. In fact, he already had the answer in his mind, and this was just the final confirmation.
"Probably around seven o'clock. She got up very early today." Xu Jin said.
Alas... It was indeed her, Zheng Yubai sighed helplessly.
"Is there something wrong? Do you want me to call her?" Xu Jin asked.
"Forget it, let her be busy..." Thinking of the number of one billion dollars an hour, Zheng Yubai suddenly thought it would be good to let Yu Luo continue playing for a while. His mind was like a huge jumping number series. As the second hand moved one by one, the numbers changed wildly and broke through to an incredible end. And every time this number rose, Zheng Yubai felt happy.
Unlike Zheng Yubai who was in a good mood in Jinghai, Warner, the boss of Warner, sat in his office in the Empire State Building in New York, staring out the window like a wooden chicken. Since seven o'clock in the morning, Warner's network system and all electronic equipment have been attacked. Now even the vending machines in the company are going on strike like crazy, not to mention other electrical appliances. In the face of all this, the thirty network security experts he hired at a high price were helpless. They watched as Warner's global business suffered huge losses, but he had no way to deal with it.
"Who the hell is that? I'm going to skin him alive!" When he was told for the hundredth time that experts were working hard to solve the problem, Warner finally exploded. He swept all the items on the desk in front of him to the ground and smashed the phone to pieces, but his anger did not ease at all.
No one dared to provoke the angry boss. They could only hide outside the office and listen to the boss's curses.
This desperate scene finally ended at five o'clock in the evening of Beijing-Haikou time. Yu Luo turned off the computer and went to a delicious barbecue restaurant with Xu Jin. Warner's network server finally returned to normal after twenty minutes. Warner had no business to do that whole day. They lost more than five billion US dollars in the financial market alone, and the losses in other business areas were immeasurable.
Warner finally saw that everything in the office had returned to normal. He ordered those useless experts to find the hackers and to compile a report on the losses immediately. While he was busy, his secret hotline suddenly rang.
In his rage, Warner still maintained some rationality and did not smash the phone. He answered the call, but it was Fang Hongjin who was far away in Jinghai. After a whole day of bad luck, Fang Hongjin told Warner the bad news that the aliens were completely annihilated.
Warner's eyes widened, his teeth chattered, and he nearly had a heart attack. He screamed wildly, "I must kill him! I must kill him! I'll send someone to kill him right away. I must kill him!"
As one of the twelve elders of the Skull and Bones Society, Warner has countless wealth all over the world. In the financial world, he is known as a financial tycoon, and in the wealth world, he is one of the world's top ten richest people. And within the Skull and Bones Society, he is famous for his brutal and resolute methods. This time he wants to kill, and the huge organization affiliated with Warner Company and the Skull and Bones Society immediately mobilized. Compared with them, Killer 26 is as childish and ridiculous as children playing house.
A harsh revenge operation is about to begin.
Jinghai, Xingyiquan school.
Accompanied by Sun Haitong, the two criminal police officers and two agents from the Special Affairs Administration walked around the martial arts hall and then left. After they left, Sun Haitong immediately came to a warehouse full of sundries in the backyard of the martial arts hall, pushed aside a pile of sundries, quietly pressed the mechanism on the wall, and the wall slowly flipped open, revealing a secret room behind.
The secret room was very small, just enough to fit a bed. Fang Hongjin, who was once a famous figure, huddled on the bed with a haggard look on his face. When he saw Sun Haitong coming in, he asked weakly, "Is there someone here to search again?"
Sun Haitong nodded, and said with lingering fear: "It looks like this is a big deal. This is already the third group of people in the past few days. They won't suspect our martial arts school, right?"
"I was very careful when I came here, it shouldn't be." Fang Hongjin was not sure. The villa he used as a base was attacked by Zheng Yubai and his men at night. Until now, he didn't know how Zheng Yubai found the place. If he knew that Zheng Yubai accidentally discovered the Miller brothers while hiding from the rain and then followed the clues, he would probably be so angry that he vomited blood and died.
"Should? You shouldn't have come here at all. We are just providing you with information about Zheng Yubai. We are not your accomplices." Sun Haitong said angrily.
"What? Are you planning to burn your bridge after using my information?" Fang Hongjin said coldly, "At this point, you and I are two grasshoppers on the same rope. It's impossible for you to escape."
Sun Haitong's eyes flashed coldly: "What do you mean?"
"I told my boss where I was hiding yesterday on the phone. If anything happens to me, the Skull and Bones Society won't let it go." Fang Hongjin said fearlessly.
Sun Haitong had thought about killing someone to silence him, but after hearing Fang Hongjin's confident threat, he lost his courage. He said, "Of course I will protect you well."
"Thank you very much." Fang Hongjin said with a smile, "In return, I can assure you that Zheng Yubai is dead this time."
Although the Special Affairs Administration was still conducting a search, for most people, Jinghai was still the metropolis of decadence and extravagance. Yang Feiyan's twentieth birthday came slowly in this atmosphere. With the love of her grandfather and brother, the little girl set up several tables of banquets to entertain her friends, and Zheng Yubai and others were among the invited guests.
Many friends sat around a big table. Except for Zheng Yubai, Yang Feiyun and Wu Neng, all the others were beauties. The hostess Yang Feiyan was naturally indispensable. Besides her, other people who stole the limelight included Xu Jin, Yu Luo, Su Su, Ding Beibei and Tang Qing. Tang Qing's boyfriend Xiang Fei, Bian Jie from the Superman Association, Ren Changxing, Lin Xia and others were also there. As for Zheng Jingzhe, old men like Du Bisheng and Xu Ruoyu sat at another table with Yang Huting, Luo Hengyang, Zhang Daosheng, Dong Ying and Ding Rulong.
Zheng Yubai was very happy looking at the lively tables of people. He gave Yang Feiyan a crystal pig as a birthday gift. Yang Feiyan loved it so much that she touched the pig's nose and asked Zheng Yubai, "Is this you?"
Zheng Yubai laughed and said, "I wonder who is the greedy little pig."
Yang Feiyan glared: "Today is my birthday, do you want to bully me?"
As soon as he said this, all the ladies at the table glared at Zheng Yubai. He dared not offend the crowd, so he had to punish himself with a glass of wine. This time, several male compatriots laughed at him. Not only did they not sympathize with Zheng Yubai's "bad luck", they also coaxed him to drink a few more glasses.
The atmosphere of the birthday party was very harmonious until Zheng Jingzhe and Yang Huting, both of whom were a little tipsy, stood up with their glasses in hand to announce an important event. Only then did the lively atmosphere calm down temporarily.
"Everyone, please be quiet. Mr. Yang and I have something to say..." Zheng Jingzhe's tongue was tied from drinking. This Xingyiquan master had a bad temper and was a heavy drinker. After drinking several kilograms of old wine, his face was as red as a monkey's buttocks, and his words became slurred.
Compared to him, Yang Huting was highly respected and seemed to be a better drinker. Although his face turned red, he still said calmly: "Today is my granddaughter Feiyan's 20th birthday. Thank you all for coming. I, Yang Huting, would like to offer a toast to you all."
Before he finished speaking, Yang Huting had finished his drink, and everyone stood up and raised their glasses to join him in drinking.
Yang Huting poured another glass of wine in a flash, and then said with a smile: "Fei Yan is twenty years old, and can be considered a grown-up girl. Today is her birthday, Jing Zhe and I have something to announce, to have a double happiness."
As soon as he said this, Zheng Yubai remembered something. He looked at his father with shining eyes, then at old man Yang Huting with a red face, and his face turned pale. Yang Feiyan, who was standing next to him, seemed to have the same idea as Zheng Yubai. She glanced at Zheng Yubai with hesitation and excitement in her eyes.
Only Yang Feiyun, who was sitting in the crowd, remained calm. He watched his grandfather, sister and Zheng Yubai's actions with a smile, and seemed happy to be a bystander.
"This happy event is very simple. It is the childhood engagement of Feiyan and Yubai..." Zheng Jingzhe was drunk and did not care that he was Yang Huting's junior, and rushed to speak.
As soon as these words came out, the whole room fell silent, and everyone's faces looked a little strange. (To be continued)
