Break out of the courtyard

Golden mask!

Crushed brains!

These two pieces of information combined made Mr. Qian shiver uncontrollably, and all the hairs on his body stood up!
I secretly thought that the worries about the Sanxingdui underground base might come true!
The next second, he was seen walking quickly towards the imaging room, reaching out to push aside the guard blocking the door, and walking behind the three doctors who were looking at the head images.

Before Secretary Chen had the chance to greet Mr. Qian, he saw Mr. Qian walk into the imaging room with a serious expression on his face, and the worry in his heart became even stronger.

But he did not follow in because he was called over urgently after the head image of the first island-crosser came out.

After Mr. Qian came out, he first asked about the origins of the three people.

After learning that these three island-hopping people were monitoring Zhang Heping at the dock and wanted to assist other forces in kidnapping Zhang Heping, Mr. Qian was relieved. As long as it was not an indiscriminate killing, it would be fine!

"Have you reported this matter to Elder Hua?" Elder Qian's tone was somewhat somber, as if he had encountered some difficulties.

Secretary Chen nodded slightly. "I have reported. Elder Hua would like to hear your judgment first!"

After a moment of contemplation, Qian Lao said seriously, "I need to go to the capital to discuss this matter with Hua Lao in person!"

……

After Zhang Heping arrived at the Hong Kong Peace Academy Pier wearing a golden mask, he had no choice but to take off the mask, interrupt the call, and get off the boat to go to the computer research center next to it.

"Master!" Tang Wei, head of Heping Smart Technology Company, hurriedly stood up to greet Zhang Heping when he saw him walk into the Hong Kong Smart City Center.

"What's the situation now?" While Zhang Heping was asking the question, he had already walked to the combined monitoring screen and looked at the monitoring screens one by one.

"There were 12 ships in total. The Hong Kong police intercepted 2 ships, the mainland coast guard intercepted 5 ships, and the other 5 ships escaped into the high seas!" As Tang Wei spoke, he moved his right hand, signaling the technician next to him to retrieve the surveillance footage.

"The Space-Based Computing Center has already locked onto those five ships with their satellites. Master, do you think we should take action ourselves?"

Zhang Heping frowned as he looked at the surveillance footage on the combined screen and said calmly, "How can we take action when there are satellites watching from the sky?"

"There are countless pairs of eyes watching us. How do you know these boats aren't bait?"

"Times have changed. Only by abiding by laws and regulations can a company run long-term!"

When this guy said this, he seemed to have forgotten that he had just used his mental power to smash the brains of three islanders.

However, his words have to be understood in reverse.

If there were no satellites watching from the sky and not so many people around paying attention, then we could take action!
Just when Tang Wei was at a loss for words, Zhang Heping asked again, "Where are the people who attacked yesterday?"

"Yesterday afternoon, we identified 139 people, 85 of whom were directly involved in the attacks on the Second Miss, Third Miss, the hospital, and the group building."

As Tang Wei spoke, he turned and looked at a technician. The technician immediately understood and changed the surveillance screen to a map of Hong Kong Island with more than 20 red marked points on it.

"However, based on the tips we received from the reward and the number of people on those 12 boats this morning, there are 352 people targeting us this time, 105 of whom are on those 12 boats."

"Another 247 people are still under our surveillance. The Space-Based Computing Center has already locked onto their faces, postures, and movements!"

Zhang Heping's brows furrowed even more when he heard that the Space-Based Computing Center was still assisting with surveillance. "Give the clue to the Hong Kong police and have them arrest them!"

Tang Wei responded and said hurriedly, "Master, we traced the attackers and found that the docks where they stole ashore were all owned by the Li family."

"Yeah!" Zhang Heping turned around and looked at the technicians on both sides, who all had serious but tired faces, and said, "Thank you for your hard work!"

"Rest well today, and review the gains and losses of the past two days tomorrow."

After saying this, Zhang Heping took the golden mask and walked straight out.

Tang Wei accompanied Zhang Heping all the way downstairs, watched the convoy go away, and then returned upstairs with a heavy heart.

"Boss Tang!" the head of the Hong Kong Smart City Center asked uncertainly, "The big boss asked us to review our gains and losses. Is he dissatisfied with our work over the past two days?"

Tang Wei was also thinking about the meaning of Zhang Heping's last sentence, and was not sure whether Zhang Heping was dissatisfied with the work here.

……

Governor's House, Central, Hong Kong Island.

"Everyone, I just received news that Mr. Zhang has returned to Hong Kong Island!" The middle-aged Governor of Hong Kong, with sparse blond hair, looked at everyone present in the hall and said:
"According to what you said before, they will take drastic measures in the next few nights to eliminate those attackers!"

"I want to ask again, can't we arrest them and their family for this reason?"

Shen Bi, the retired chairman of Huifeng Bank, frowned and said, "Mr. Governor, you should ask the Eagle Queen if she agrees to this question!"

The Hong Kong Island Police Commissioner also frowned, but he didn't speak as harshly as Shen Bi. He just gently reminded him, "Your Excellency, our police force is very scattered, and our weapons and equipment are very backward. We can't compare with Umbrella Security Company."

High Court Judge Lawrence, who was invited to serve as legal counsel, said: "Although Umbrella Security Company has a gun license, the weapons and equipment they possess have exceeded the scope of the gun license."

"I heard that they used micro-missiles to kill several people yesterday when they were fighting those highway robbers."

"However, this has nothing to do with Mr. Zhang's family. They simply hired bodyguards for protection. The bodyguards or security company are responsible for the weapons they use and the damage they cause."

"Also, if the Governor of Hong Kong cannot produce evidence that can definitely arrest the Zhang family, the Hong Kong police will not be able to arrest them. They won't even be able to see them. The only lawyers involved in the entire process are the lawyers from the Heping Law Firm."

"Governor!" the head of Jardine Matheson put down his cigar and advised, "The major European families will not allow you to do this, and neither will we."

"The mainland will not agree to you taking people away!" Shen Bi agreed lightly, trying to extinguish the dangerous idea of ​​this young governor of Hong Kong.

"Everyone, don't be nervous!" The Governor raised his right hand, smoothed his drooping forehead, and said with a smile, "I'm just asking. I have no plans to take any action in that regard."

"If we can obtain evidence that Mr. Zhang ordered his men to kill, can we get a discount on the Lifespan 120 potion and resell it?"

……

Basement, Magnesium Embassy in Hong Kong, Central, Hong Kong Island.

"Did the five Japanese and South Korean ships escape?" Curator Alex couldn't understand the code displayed on the computer in front of these young people, so he could only ask anxiously.

"They haven't been caught yet!" said the tall, thin, brown-haired young man in charge of the technical team, his head leaning forward and his back hunched. "But they've lost the positioning support of Peace Navigation and are heading deeper into the Pacific. Sooner or later, they'll be caught!"

Curator Alex asked doubtfully, "If there's no Peace Navigation, can't we use GPS?"

"Mr. Director, although the Peace Navigation software has pop-up ads, it's free to try worldwide!" the brown-haired young man explained. "If you were the captain, would you use the expensive GPS or the free Peace Navigation?"

Director Alex frowned and said, "I mean, if the Peace Navigation software doesn't work, why don't they use GPS navigation instead?"

"Mr. Curator, you might not have noticed something!" A freckled young man next to him interrupted, "Take out your phone now and check the app store to see if there's any GPS navigation software!"

"Captain!" The fat guy on the other side laughed, "The curator must have mistaken the ship's navigation equipment for a cell phone. He didn't realize that Peace Navigation and GPS navigation each have dedicated devices."

A blond, rosacea-nosed young man in the middle stared at the monitor and casually remarked, "Peace Navigation promised to offer free services until the year 2000. This move directly captured the global navigation market."

"How many years does a satellite have to last?" another young man chimed in. "I heard the GPS navigation project's application labs have all been closed, and their R&D funding has been cut by half."

"No way!" the chubby boy asked, puzzled. "Aren't they afraid of the mainland's space-based early warning system if they cut funding for the GPS navigation project?" The young man with the bulbous nose chimed in, "I heard it's to join the mainland's Tiangong space station program. They've temporarily diverted the GPS navigation project's funds there, and the research and development funds will be reallocated next year."

Director Alex opened his mouth, wanting to tell these young people that the most urgent task was to help the five ships carrying Japanese and South Korean agents escape.

However, when he remembered what the technical team leader had just said, "If we lose navigation, we will be caught sooner or later," he did not continue to ask questions. He just wanted to wait quietly for a result and then report to the country.

……

When Zhang Heping returned to Renheyi Community, his concubine Chen Shuting was talking on the phone on the flat ground outside the villa. The plastic tables and chairs under two parasols next to them were occupied by her three female secretaries, who seemed to be busy with the follow-up work of the backdoor listing.

"Finish the internal share distribution as soon as possible, and don't create any negative news about uneven distribution for me, that's it!" Chen Shuting quickly hung up the phone, stepped on a pair of slippers, and ran towards her man.

"Husband!" Chen Shuting shouted and hugged Zhang Heping's left arm tightly.

Zhang Heping said in a deep voice, "Have the group issue a notice, requiring Japan, South Korea, India, Vietnam and Taiwan to provide an explanation for yesterday's attack and their response within 24 hours. Otherwise, they will be blacklisted!"

Chen Shuting was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously asked, "Aren't you going to ask the Hong Kong government for an explanation?"

"No need!" Zhang Heping glanced at his concubine and said, "They should be able to catch the man later. You can arrange a few banners and have the media follow up."

Chen Shuting didn’t know what Zhang Heping had just said to Tang Wei, so she could only nod in agreement and then make a decision based on the feedback from the Hong Kong government.

The eldest wife Tang Xin was watching TV in the living room with her mother Xu Jiefeng, Zhang Nan and Zhang Nian were surfing the Internet in the study on the second floor, Zhang Bei, Zhang Long and Zhang Hu were still studying their father's manuscripts, and Zhang Feng was tutoring Zhang Nuo and Zhang Hao with their homework in the study next door.

Although Zhang Heping's quick return made his wife and children feel relieved, they were also afraid that it would delay Zhang Heping's important work.

However, when Zhang Heping locked the golden mask in the safe behind the wardrobe and fell asleep on the bed, everyone's slight worries immediately turned into curiosity.

"Dad took out so much gold yesterday morning, but it turned out to be just to make a mask?" Although Zhang Nan was frightened yesterday, he was not attacked by paint and bricks like Zhang Nian, so he was still curious about what his father brought back.

Zhang Bei and Zhang Long looked at each other, and seemed to have guessed that the mask was related to the conversion of brain waves into mental power.

Zhang Hu was a little more thoughtful and told them what they had been learning recently without thinking too much.

"Brain waves convert into mental power?" Zhang Nan was busy with company affairs before, and this was the first time he heard that Zhang Bei, Zhang Hu and others were learning this somewhat mysterious knowledge.

They didn't know that Zhang Heping stayed up all night last night in order to come back early.

I don’t know how much energy Zhang Heping spent on these three talents this afternoon.

When Zhang Heping slept until the next morning, the family realized something was wrong and tried to wake him up.

After learning that he had slept for more than ten hours, Zhang Heping, although still feeling tired, got up, took out the golden mask and went downstairs.

His mental power application skills are still at the proficient level, so he needs to hurry up and prepare for the development of the next generation of brain-computer.

After yesterday afternoon's talent experiment and more than ten hours of unconsciousness, Zhang Heping realized a problem: although his body was several times stronger than that of an ordinary person, his brain and brainwave intensity were not high. This might be because he had never trained in this area, or it might be a problem with the mask.

"Dad, is this golden mask one of those props that can convert brainwaves into mental energy?" Zhang Hu had been curious about the golden mask his dad brought back yesterday, but his dad went to his room and fell asleep too quickly, not giving him a chance to ask.

“Yes!” Zhang Heping said while eating breakfast, glancing at his three eager sons. “Yesterday, I wore this mask and used my mental power to turn the brains of three Yue Island people into tofu dregs.”

Zhang Bei, Zhang Long, and Zhang Hu's understanding was still limited to the theoretical knowledge of brainwaves being converted into mental power.

Upon hearing that Zhang Heping had killed someone using his mental power, the three of them froze on the spot. It wasn't until Zhang Heping, wearing a mask, walked out of the villa and sat under the parasol that they slowly realized that the reason mental power had the word "power" in it was because it could affect reality, rather than being as ethereal as a network signal.

When the three brothers went out to find their father to learn more about the golden mask, they saw their two mothers sitting on either side of their father.

"The Commissioner of Police called this morning to say that last night's arrest operation went very smoothly and thanked us for the tip." Seeing that her husband was not asleep, Chen Shuting continued to whisper about what had happened from last night to this morning.

After pouring tea for her, Tang Xin put on her headphones and continued reading the news on her phone.

The attack on Zhang Nan and Zhang Nian the day before yesterday still worries and frightens Tang Xin, but there's nothing she can do but stay at home and wait and see.

Tang Ming, Tang Ren, and Tang Qiang, the three generations of the family, were quite active. They kept following up on the attack case and even contacted many prominent figures in Hong Kong to put pressure on the Hong Kong police, urging them to catch the robbers as soon as possible!

So, as soon as Zhang Heping sat down under the parasol, Tang Ming, Tang Ren, and the others received the news and immediately went out and headed towards Zhang Heping.

"Heping, you went to bed so early yesterday, are you feeling unwell?"

Tang Ming looked at Zhang Heping, who was wearing a mask, with concern, wondering why he was wearing it.

Zhang Heping raised his left hand, put his index finger to his lips in a shushing gesture, and then hung up.

Zhang Bei explained from the side, "Grandpa, my dad is studying that mask right now. You can talk to him during lunch if you need anything."

Upon hearing this, Tang Ming immediately recalled the scene of Zhang Heping sitting here researching some virtual game, so he nodded and sat down next to him.

Not long after, Wei Chunqiao, the head of the Umbrella Security Company, Zhu Chengguang, the security manager, and others gathered around, wanting to report on the events of the past few days. However, Chen Shuting pointed to the parasol next to them, indicating that they should wait there.

Zhang Heping was clearly aware of his surroundings, but he didn't want to interrupt his AFK session with trivial matters.

The past ten years or so have proven one thing: if he doesn't commit to AFK (away from keyboard) mode, a series of trivial matters around him will hinder his AFK skill.

Sure enough, not long after Wei Chunqiao and the others sat down, Zhang Heping's phone, which was on the plastic table next to him, rang again. It was a video call request from Elder Hua.

When the bodyguard captain saw Zhang Bei pick up his phone, he didn't go over to answer it for his boss.

Zhang Bei explained the situation to Hua Lao, then pointed the camera at Zhang Heping. Following up on Hua Lao's question, he began to talk about the aftermath of the attack, while walking to the side so as not to disturb his father.

As noon approached, Zhang Heping, having mastered the use of his mental energy, removed his golden mask. While rubbing his nose, he used the mask to slap away the hand his fifth son, Zhang Long, reached out to him.

"Not now!" Zhang Heping said abruptly. The others didn't understand, but Zhang Long and Zhang Hu understood. They could only suppress their curiosity and stand aside.

After putting his hands down, Zhang Heping greeted his father-in-law and brother-in-law, and then looked at Wei Chunqiao and his group.

"Boss, we've found out the identities of those attackers and their backers." Wei Chunqiao, who still hadn't had his severed arm treated, chuckled as he approached to report on what they'd been doing these past few days, lest the big boss think they were slacking off.

Zhang Heping ignored these trivial matters because the Hong Kong police had not yet released the interrogation results, so there was no need to rush to arrange subsequent counterattacks.

"Let's send a batch of experimental monkeys up the mountain from the Medical Research Institute first. We'll talk about the rest in a few days." After Zhang Heping finished speaking, he waved for them to go home for dinner, and then invited his family into the house.

Just then, Hua Lao's video call came in again, and Zhang Bei hurriedly handed the phone back to his father.

Zhang Heping assumed that Hua Lao would call yesterday, since he hadn't retrieved the blueprints for the first-generation brain-computer interface, nor had he concealed from Commander Chu and the others the fact that he had used his mental power to destroy the brains of those three Yue Islanders.

Although Commander Chu and his team failed to discover the mental problems of the three islanders on the spot, the subsequent investigation revealed that the three men had mental issues, which would inevitably lead them to suspect Zhang Heping.

"Heping, there's something I need to confirm with you. Is it convenient for you to go somewhere private right now?" In the video, Elder Hua held up his phone and scanned the conference room behind him, indicating to Zhang Heping who was attending the meeting.

After letting his family members enter the house first, Zhang Heping said, "Mr. Hua, you can speak now."

After considering for a moment, and out of a sense of confidentiality, Mr. Hua asked abruptly, "Was that the night before last successful?"

Zhang Heping casually hummed in agreement, and then a long silence fell on the other end of the video call… (End of Chapter)
