I handed over to another world

The heavy door of the conference room closed silently, and the blue flame lamp automatically went out as the last vice president left.

Chen Lin stood in front of the window, and the raindrops meandered on the glass, forming fine lines, just like the intricate network of relationships within the association.

“Data analysis mode.”

Chen Lin tapped the table lightly, and the holographic projection of Qin Hongzhu in front of him instantly decomposed into countless data streams and reorganized into a three-dimensional organizational structure chart, in which red and blue light spots were intertwined and entangled, forming two obvious clusters.

"The distribution of radicals and conservatives has expanded by 37% compared to last week."

Qin Hongzhu's voice lost its human touch. "It is worth noting that 19% of the members of the neutral faction have shifted their positions in the past 72 hours."

Chen Lin's coin suddenly stopped at his fingertips: "Direction of deviation?"

"82% of them prefer Zhao Tiancheng's technological innovation route."

In the three-dimensional image, dozens of gray spots glowed blue at the same time. "But the real abnormality is this——"

The organizational chart suddenly flipped, revealing the underlying communication network. Hundreds of encrypted channels spread out like a spider web, three of which were abnormal and flashed a dazzling purple.

"An unregistered quantum encryption channel." Qin Hongzhu zoomed in on the channel. "Using a military-level anti-tracking protocol, the signal source points to..."

Three coordinates appeared on the hologram - the main laboratory of the Science and Technology Research and Development Department, the private rest area of ​​the vice president, and...

Chen Lin frowned slightly, as the location above was a place he was quite familiar with.

"Are some of the old members still active?"

The copper coin made a slight buzzing sound in Chen Lin's palm.

“More complicated.”

Qin Hongzhu called up a restored surveillance video, in which Lin Mingyuan's deputy in the security department was talking to a figure with his back to the camera in the basement of the memorial hall.

"The voiceprint match shows that the other party is the leader of the Black Snake Society's Seventh Action Team."

The sound of rain suddenly became rapid.

Chen Lin walked over to the hologram and ran his fingers through the purple cables. "So while Lin Mingyuan accused Zhao Tiancheng of leaking secrets, he himself was..."

"Not only that." Qin Hongzhu suddenly switched the screen to display a genetic test report. "The biological markers found by the technical department in the runaway prosthesis are highly consistent with the residues at the scene of Cheng Ye's attack three years ago."

"The one who assassinated Cheng Ye back then was..."

"The Black Snake Society sent a cleanup team." Qin Hongzhu's projection flickered slightly, "But now these marks appear in the weapons developed by Zhao Tiancheng, which means..."

"Some people want to recreate the factional purge of the past."

Chen Lin suddenly pinched the copper coin, and the metal edge left a deep red indentation on his palm.

The lightning outside the window illuminated the cold edge in his eyes: "Push the neutrals to the radicals, and then put the blame on the conservatives..."

The hologram suddenly flashed an alarm, and a real-time surveillance video was forcibly cut in.

In the picture, Zhao Tiancheng's technical team is confronting a group of men in black at the scene of the Nangang incident - the Black Snake Society emblems are faintly visible on their cuffs.

"Bait." Chen Lin suddenly sneered, "Lin Mingyuan is trying to prove Zhao Tiancheng's crime of collaborating with the enemy."

Qin Hongzhu's projection condensed into a human form: "Do you need me to cut off their communication? Father... President Chen."

The coin was suddenly launched into the air and hovered strangely when it reached its highest point.

Chen Lin reached out to catch the falling coin, and a fresh crack appeared on the metal surface at some point.

"No, let the show go on."

He pressed the cracked copper coin on the table and said, "Notify Qin Xue, I want to see a good show - pull out all the schedules of Zhao Tiancheng and Lin Mingyuan for tomorrow."

"In addition..." Chen Lin took out the copper coin with reddish edges from his inner pocket and gently stroked the special patterns on it. "In order to prevent the problem from escalating, the spread of news about the whole incident must be kept to a minimum. All news that appears in the open must be removed."

"Yes, President Chen."

Qin Hongzhu's holographic projection nodded and then disappeared into the room.

The conference room returned to silence, with only the sound of raindrops hitting the glass.

Chen Lin stood in front of the holographic projection, his fingertips running across the flickering lights.

"Filter out the interfering data from Zhang Shouren's time."

Chen Lin ordered the AI ​​in the room, "Just look at the activity tracks of the current senior management over the past three months."

The projection screen was refreshed immediately, retaining only the data streams of the five vice presidents and three ministers.

Qin Hongzhu's voice came from the ceiling: "Filtering completed, key monitoring targets: Zhao Tiancheng, Lin Mingyuan, Qin Xue."

Chen Lin looked at the newly woven network of relationships: "Who did Zhao Tiancheng meet last week?"

"Four private meetings."

The projection marked a red line, "Three times with the backbone of the Technical Department, and once with... Director Wu of the Transportation Department."

The copper coin paused between Chen Lin's fingers. Wu Ming was promoted by Lin Mingyuan, and he had approved it before.

"What was the content of the meeting?"

"90% of the conversation was about the response plan for the Nangang incident, but the last one..." Qin Hongzhu called up an audio waveform, "17 minutes of the conversation was blocked by electromagnetic interference."

Chen Lin sneered. Zhao Tiancheng has always been cautious. Any conversation that would make him use shielding equipment must involve core interests.

This seems to give people a sense of trying to cover up one's own faults.

"Lin Mingyuan?"

“More direct.”

The projection switched to surveillance footage, showing that Lin Mingyuan's security department was conducting a surprise inspection of the laboratory of the technical department. "In the past 72 hours, he seized the data of three key technical projects in the name of security inspection."

In the footage, the lab director was protesting angrily but was pinned against the wall by security guards.

Chen Lin noticed the armband on the man’s uniform—he was not from the regular security team, but from a special operations team directly under the vice president.

"Interesting." Chen Lin stroked the edge of the copper coin. "What is Qin Xue doing?"

"She is..." The projection suddenly flickered, with a delay of 0.3 seconds, "... carrying out the task you assigned her as normal."

Chen Lin narrowed his eyes. Qin Hongzhu would never delay reporting. "Retrieve Qin Xue's movements today."

On the hologram, the green light spot representing Qin Xue suddenly split into two - one was in the headquarters intelligence center, and the other appeared in a private club three kilometers away.

"Mirror image disguise." Chen Lin's voice turned cold. "When did she learn this trick?"

"The system has detected a new jammer installed by the Intelligence Department." Qin Hongzhu spoke a little faster, "Do you need me to crack it?"

The copper coins fell on the table with a "ding" sound.

Chen Lin stared at the split light spots: "No need, bring up the club's surveillance."

The scene switched to a high-altitude bird's-eye view, and in the blurry image, Qin Xue was handing a metal box to the person opposite.

When the man looked up, Chen Lin recognized the face of Wu Ming from the Transportation Department.

"what."

Chen Lin suddenly laughed out loud, "The three-way game has turned into a four-way melee."

He grabbed the copper coins on the table, and the two coins collided in his palms with a crisp sound: "Notify the logistics department that I want to meet everyone in Conference Room 1 tomorrow morning - including Cheng Ye who is on vacation."

"In the name of what?" "Quarterly performance review."

Chen Lin walked towards the door and stopped again, "By the way, adjust the soundproofing system of Conference Room 1 to the highest level."

His cold eyes clearly showed that he already had an idea in mind. Chen Lin planned to take formal action tomorrow.

……

When the door closed, Chen Lin stood in the shadow of the corridor, the copper coins flipping rapidly between his fingers.

He pressed the communicator beside his ear: "Secretary Zhao, prepare three files, and they must be top secret."

"President, what is the scope of the content?"

"Zhao Tiancheng's technical approval records, Lin Mingyuan's safety inspection report, and..."

Chen Lin paused for a moment, "All of Qin Xue's field records for the past three months."

A soft keyboard tapping sound came from the other end of the communicator: "Do you need an encryption level?"

"Just use the usual ones."

Chen Lin's voice was low, "Also, notify the special operations team to stand by, but don't alarm anyone."

"clear."

At the end of the corridor, Chen Lin’s private elevator opened silently.

The moment he stepped into the elevator, he caught a glimpse of his own stern reflection on the mirrored wall - it was time to end this power game.

The next morning, in Conference Room No. 1 in Shangdu.

Chen Lin sat in the first seat with three red-covered files neatly placed in front of him.

The five vice presidents took their seats one by one. Zhao Tiancheng, Lin Mingyuan and Qin Xue arrived last. The three of them exchanged glances briefly in the air.

After they were all seated, Chen Lin spoke slowly: "Everyone."

He tapped the table lightly, and the holographic projection lit up. "Today's report will start with the Nangang incident. Let's start with Vice President Zhao."

Chen Lin looked directly at Zhao Tiancheng, and Vice President Zhao quickly stood up: "The technical department has completed the accident analysis and confirmed that it was an external intrusion that caused the system overload."

He pulled up the data chart. "We also found this in the prosthetic core—"

The chart zoomed in, revealing an abnormal code.

Lin Mingyuan suddenly interrupted: "The writing style of this code is very similar to the encryption method used within the technical department."

The temperature in the conference room dropped suddenly. Several people clearly felt that what Vice President Lin said was meaningful, but no one pointed out the deeper meaning.

Finally, Qin Xue chuckled: "Minister Lin, you know so much about code? I remember that you came from the security department and got to this position."

"enough."

Chen Lin raised his hand to interrupt Vice President Lin's words and directly switched the projection. "Minister Qin, explain this."

The screen showed the surveillance video of Qin Xue and Wu Ming handing over a metal box in the club. Qin Xue's expression did not change after seeing this scene: "It's just a routine information handover. President Chen, the box contains the security vulnerability report of the Transportation Department. I can take these things out for you to see at any time."

"is it?"

Chen Lin pushed a document over and asked, "Then why are the boxes I saw filled with confidential drawings from the Technical Department?"

Zhao Tiancheng stood up suddenly: "What?"

Lin Mingyuan's hand quietly moved towards the alarm button under the table.

"I advise you not to touch that."

Chen Lin's voice was as cold as ice. "Vice President Cheng?"

Cheng Ye, who had been silent all this time, suddenly opened his suit, revealing the electromagnetic pulser on his waist: "All electronic devices have been shielded, including the communication chips implanted in you."

Chen Lin stood up, and two copper coins fell on the table with a "ding" sound: "Zhao Tiancheng privately modified the technical parameters, Lin Mingyuan planted a traitor to create an accident, and Qin Xue resold secrets - the three of them put on a good show."

He pressed the button under the table, and the walls of the conference room suddenly became transparent, revealing the fully armed special forces team outside.

"Unfortunately, you forgot..." Chen Lin picked up the copper coin, and a tiny holographic projection appeared on the metal surface, which was a complete record of the three people's secret conversation. "The Red Dragon Association is not a weak place that you can control at will. This is the most powerful association in Zhengege's human civilization. We also have the most powerful association intelligence department."

Chen Lin tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and the holographic image projected by the copper coin slowly unfolded above the conference table.

"Vice President Zhao, on March 3, you secretly modified the neural link protocol of the Dragon Scale III in the laboratory."

The video clearly shows Zhao Tiancheng operating the main control terminal alone late at night. "The safety threshold was reduced by 37%, which is the root cause of the prosthetic limb going berserk."

Zhao Tiancheng's face turned pale instantly: "This... this is a frame-up!"

"Frame-up?" Chen Lin sneered and pulled up the second record. "Then your leaking of the transportation route to the Black Snake was also a frame-up?"

The scene switches to a scene where Zhao Tiancheng meets a blurry figure in an abandoned warehouse. The faintly visible Black Snake emblem on the other person's cuff glows coldly in the dark.

Seeing this, Lin Mingyuan immediately slammed the table and stood up: "President, please understand! I have long suspected——"

"Vice President Lin," Chen Lin raised his hand to interrupt, his eyes sharp as a knife, "Do you think you are clean?"

The third image emerged: Lin Mingyuan's deputy in the security department was handing an encrypted document to a Black Snake agent.

"You deliberately created the accident in order to take advantage of the opportunity to suppress the technical department and seize control of research and development."

Qin Xue suddenly chuckled: "Excellent, but President, these evidences seem to have nothing to do with me?"

"Minister Qin is really patient."

Chen Lin turned to her with a meaningful look in his eyes, "Then can you explain why the core blueprints of the technical department appeared at the auction of the Black Snake Club?"

The last video froze Qin Xue’s smile - she was handing a metal box to a masked buyer, and the other party paid with the encrypted digital currency used exclusively by the Black Snake Society.

The conference room fell into deathly silence, with only the faint buzzing of the copper coin projection.

"Do you three have anything else to say?"

Chen Lin put away the coin, his voice frighteningly calm.

Suddenly, Zhao Tiancheng flipped the table and pulled out a nano blade from his sleeve: "In that case——"

"boom!"

With a muffled thud, Zhao Tiancheng fell to the ground. Two special agents at the side door of the conference room saluted Chen Lin respectfully, then came in and dragged Zhao Tiancheng out.

"I knew you would be desperate."

Chen Lin shook his head and looked at the other two, "Do you want to continue?"

Lin Mingyuan sat back in his chair dejectedly, while Qin Xue adjusted her collar elegantly: "The president is indeed a smart move."

"Take it down."

Chen Lin waved his hand to signal the special forces, "Treat them as rioters."

When the three were taken away, Cheng Ye couldn't help but ask, "President, did you know it was them?"

"After all, I have been in this position for more than ten years. Do you really think I don't understand what is going on?"

Chen Lin glanced at Vice President Cheng coldly and said, "You are not very clean yourself, so stop doing so many useless things to me. Stay at your post for now. When I have dealt with the situation here, I will come to you to ask for clarification."

Cheng Ye suddenly felt terrified. (End of this chapter)
