After Mr. Xiang divorced, the president regretted it
Chapter 386: Challenge in the Mist
"Hello, Detective Lin, what's the situation?" Xiang Yu answered the phone with a serious tone.
"Mr. Xiang, I have found out something," Detective Lin's voice came from the other end of the phone, with a hint of solemnity, "Lu Chen's company is just an emerging technology company on the surface, but in fact, the source of their funds is very mysterious. I tracked down an offshore company, but the information of this company is well hidden, and I can't get more information for the time being."
"Where is the technical research and development team? Do they have any clues?" Yan Jin walked to Xiang Yu's side, staring closely at the phone in his hand.
"Their core technical personnel were hired from Silicon Valley at high salaries, and their backgrounds are very clean, but..." Detective Lin's voice became more serious, "I found that several of them once worked for an international financial group called 'Kronos'."
"Kronos?" Xiang Yu and Yan Jin looked at each other, and a hint of shock flashed in their eyes. Kronos Group, this name is well-known in the financial world. It controls a huge amount of funds in the world, and its style of doing things is also very secretive. Few people know its true strength.
"I have also heard of this group," Yan Jin frowned slightly, "Their tentacles are spread all over the world, involving almost all important industries. If Lu Chen's company really cooperates with them, then our situation will be even more difficult."
"It seems that the opponent we met this time is much stronger than we imagined." Xiang Yu's tone was solemn, but he did not feel timid because of this. "Detective Lin, you continue to investigate in depth and make sure to find out the relationship between the Kronos Group and Lu Chen Company, and..."
Before Xiang Yu finished speaking, there was a sudden noisy sound from the other end of the phone, as if something was knocked over. Then, Detective Lin's voice became urgent: "Oh no, they found me, I..."
The call was suddenly disconnected, leaving only a harsh busy tone. Xiang Yu's face instantly turned pale. He stood up suddenly, and the phone in his hand slipped to the ground with a dull sound. Yan Jin's heart also sank suddenly, and an ominous premonition came to his mind...
"Damn it!" Xiang Yu cursed in a low voice, his clenched fists trembling slightly due to the force. Detective Lin's phone call suddenly stopped, which undoubtedly cast a shadow on their investigation.
Yan Jin's face was solemn. She picked up the phone on the ground and said calmly, "We can't just sit there and wait for death. The situation over there with Detective Lin is unclear. We must find out the situation as soon as possible."
"You're right." Xiang Yu took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. "The most important thing now is to find Detective Lin and find out what he has discovered."
"I've asked my team to investigate," Yan Jin said, "They'll do their best to track Detective Lin's signal. I hope he's still safe."
Xiang Yu nodded, but he knew that waiting would only put them in a passive position. The emergence of the Kronos Group had already shown that they were facing a huge and mysterious opponent, and the disappearance of Detective Lin was more like a warning, a warning for them not to act rashly.
"No, we can't wait any longer." Xiang Yu's eyes flashed with determination, "We have to go there in person."
Yan Jin looked at him in surprise: "Are you crazy? Since they dared to touch Detective Lin, it means they are already prepared. It's too dangerous for us to go over now!"
"I know," Xiang Yu said in an unquestionable tone, "but we can't just watch Detective Lin fall into danger. Besides, only if we go there in person can we truly understand our opponent's background."
Seeing the determination in Xiang Yu's eyes, Yan Jin knew that she couldn't change his decision. She took a deep breath and said firmly, "Okay, I'll go with you. But we must be careful and not alert the enemy."
The two quickly made a plan. They decided to go secretly to the place where Detective Lin was last seen to look for any possible clues.
As night fell and the city lights came on, Xiang Yu and Yan Jin disguised themselves and came to a remote alley. This was where Detective Lin last contacted them and was also the location of a suspicious company he was investigating.
"This is it." Xiang Yu pointed to a dilapidated office building deep in the alley. The dim light shining through the windows made it look particularly eerie.
The two looked at each other and quietly sneaked into the office building. The corridor was dark, and the air was filled with a musty smell that made people feel suffocated. They walked up carefully with the weak light of their mobile phones.
Suddenly, there was a faint sound of footsteps coming from upstairs, accompanied by low voices. Xiang Yu and Yan Jin immediately stopped, held their breath, and hid in a corner.
"Is everything ready?" asked a rough voice.
"Don't worry, boss, everything has been done according to your instructions." Another voice came with a hint of flattery.
"Very good, this operation is of great importance, there must be no mistakes!"
Hearing this, Xiang Yu and Yan Jin's hearts jumped into their throats. They realized that they might have accidentally discovered some important clues.
The two exchanged glances and decided to continue walking upwards to find out...
Xiang Yu and Yan Jin held their breath, stepped lightly, and groped their way up the stairs. The voices became clearer and clearer, and they stopped in front of a half-open door. With the dim light, they could vaguely see the scene in the room.
The room was filled with smoke, and several burly men were sitting around a table with various documents and drawings scattered on it. One of the men had his back to the door, so his face couldn't be seen, but his deep voice was full of intimidation, exactly the voice heard in the corridor before.
"This plan is extremely important," the man said in a sinister tone, "We must ensure that everything goes well. Do you understand?"
"Understood!" the others responded in unison.
Xiang Yu and Yan Jin looked at each other and became more certain that this was the place they were looking for. They carefully took out their phones and took photos of the scene in the room.
"Remember," the man continued, "the target is the core secret of the Xiang Group. We must get it at all costs!"
Hearing the words "Xiang Group", Xiang Yu and Yan Jin's pupils shrank suddenly, and a chill ran from the soles of their feet straight into their hearts. It turned out that all this was a conspiracy against the Xiang family!
At this moment, there was a sudden noise downstairs, as if someone broke in. The men in the room immediately became alert and picked up their weapons.
"What's going on?" the leading man roared.
"Someone broke in!" A panicked voice came from outside the door.
The leading man's eyes were stern, and he said in a deep voice: "It seems that the news has leaked out, let's go!"
After saying that, he rushed out of the room first, followed by the others, disappearing into the dark corridor.
Xiang Yu and Yan Jin realized that the situation was critical, and they turned around and ran without caring about continuing the investigation. They ran all the way, rushed out of the office building, and disappeared into the night.
The two hid in a secluded alley, and before they had time to catch their breath, they felt a chill approaching from behind.
"It seems we are being followed," Xiang Yu lowered his voice and spoke in a serious tone, "the other party is very cautious and has not shown up."
Yan Jin calmly observed the surroundings and whispered, "We must get rid of them as soon as possible, otherwise it will be dangerous."
The two men crouched down and shuttled through the darkness, constantly changing their routes, trying to get rid of the pursuit. However, the footsteps behind them always followed them like a maggot on their tarsal bones and could not be shaken off.
Finally, they came to a fork in the road. Xiang Yu decisively pulled Yan Jin into a dark alley, ran quickly to the end, climbed over a low wall, and disappeared into the night.
The person who was following chased the target to the bottom of the low wall, but lost his target. He could only curse angrily and turn away.
Xiang Yu and Yan Jin, who escaped the disaster, did not let down their guard. They knew that this was only a temporary victory.
"It seems that we have stirred up a hornet's nest this time," Xiang Yu said in a low voice, with a hint of solemnity in his tone, "The other party is more dangerous than we thought."
Yan Jin nodded and said in a deep voice: "We must find Detective Lin as soon as possible. Only he knows the truth..."
Before he finished speaking, Xiang Yu's phone suddenly vibrated. He glanced at the caller ID and his face suddenly changed.
"It's the company calling..."
Xiang Yu picked up the phone with a frown on his face. After a brief conversation, his expression became even gloomier. After hanging up the phone, he took a deep breath and said to Yan Jin, "The company's system was attacked. Fortunately, it was discovered in time and no major losses were caused."
Yan Jin's expression changed, "It seems that the other party has already started to act."
Back at the company, the lights were on and the technicians were busy repairing the system and checking for loopholes. Xiang Yu immediately convened an emergency meeting and the senior management gathered together with solemn expressions.
"This attack was organized and premeditated. The other party obviously knows us very well." Xiang Yu said in a cold tone, and his sharp eyes swept over everyone. "I need to know whether there is a possibility of information leakage within the company."
The atmosphere in the conference room was solemn. Everyone looked at each other, but no one dared to speak easily. Xiang Yu looked around and said in a deep voice: "I know this is difficult, but it is related to the survival of the company. I hope everyone can be honest with each other."
Yan Jin also stood up and said firmly: "We have called the police, and the police will intervene in the investigation, but we must also conduct internal self-examination. I believe that those who are innocent will be cleared, and anyone who attempts to harm the interests of the company will not end well."
After some investigation, someone finally came forward and provided some clues. The head of the technical department said that the source of the attack seemed to come from the company's internal network, but the specific device needed further investigation.
Time was running out, so Xiang Yu and Yan Jin took separate actions. Xiang Yu personally led the technical team to check for system vulnerabilities overnight, strengthen security measures, and arrange personnel to conduct comprehensive monitoring of the company's internal network.
Yan Jin was in charge of investigating the whereabouts of Detective Lin. She used all her connections and finally found out that the last place Detective Lin appeared was an abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city.
It was dark at night, and Yan Jin drove there alone, feeling uneasy. The abandoned factory was eerie and scary, and the night wind howled past, making waves of creepy sounds.
Yan Jin took a deep breath, clenched the electric baton in her hand, and walked into the factory carefully. Her light footsteps echoed in the empty factory, making the silence even more terrifying.
Suddenly, she heard a faint groan, which seemed to come from deep inside the factory. Yan Jin's heart tightened, and she walked lightly, groping towards the sound...
At the same time, Xiang Yu also received a text message from an unfamiliar number: "Want to know the truth? Come see me..."
The message was unsigned, but the address pointed to the abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city. Xiang Yu's heart trembled, and he drove there immediately.
A bigger conspiracy is quietly unfolding...
"Zhao Kai, this is the information you requested. Remember, be careful."
