Dragon Shield Bureau, three underground floors, the highest level of security evidence analysis room.

The atmosphere was so oppressive it was almost palpable.

A dozen or so lab coats surrounded the central lab table, as if facing an immovable Buddha statue.

"Professor Wang, this won't work."

A young researcher took off his goggles, his brow beaded with sweat.

"Even with the laser cutter running at maximum power, it didn't leave a single white mark."

The elderly man, referred to as Professor Wang, had gray hair. He adjusted his glasses and looked at the report in his hand.

"Spectroscopic analysis failed; there is no known alloy in the database that matches the description."

"What about the hardness test?"

"Three of the probes have broken."

Professor Wang picked up the report, walked up to Qin Yue, and looked as if he had been constipated for half a month.

"Captain Qin, the physical properties of this thing... don't belong to Earth."

He pointed to the dark gold "thermos cup" on the lab table.

"It's either a creation of an alien civilization or a relic of some prehistoric or ancient civilization."

Qin Yue rubbed her aching temples.

Alien technology?

Prehistoric civilization?

If this conclusion were included in the report, she suspected she would be sent to a psychiatric ward first.

She looked at the culprit who had caused her so much trouble all night.

It stood there quietly, its blue surface glowing like a breathing light, its light flickering and emitting a rhythm that stirred the heart.

Just then.

"Ring ring ring—"

The red dedicated phone in Qin Yue's office rang without warning.

Only a few high-level units knew the number for this phone.

Qin Yue strode out of the laboratory, returned to her office, and grabbed the receiver.

"I am Qin Yue."

There was a two-second silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a lazy male voice with a slightly nasal tone, as if he had just woken up.

"Hello, is this 110?"

Qin Yue's eyelid twitched.

"I'm calling the police. It seems like you stole my package."

Qin Yue took a deep breath and squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth.

"It's you."

"What are you talking about, my friend? Please watch your attitude."

The voice on the other end of the phone was self-righteous.

"I am a law-abiding and law-abiding citizen. Last night, I ordered a part from the South City Military Factory. As a result, your Dragon Shield Bureau rushed in and confiscated my things without any explanation."

Qin Yue was almost laughing out of anger.

"A spare part? That thing that almost triggered an S-level alert and forced us to deploy half of our bureau's combat force, you call it a spare part?"

"Otherwise what?"

The other person's tone was full of innocence.

"That was custom-made by someone... um, an ultra-low temperature liquid nitrogen Dewar flask."

Qin Yue was stunned.

"What bottle?"

"A Duwar flask is a high-end insulated bottle."

The other party explained very patiently.

"I had a friend airfreight a few king crabs from Australia. These things are delicate and need special equipment to keep them fresh. Now that you've taken them, I have nowhere to put my big lobsters—no, I mean, big crabs. Who's responsible if they die?"

The office was deathly silent.

Qin Yue felt that her worldview was being repeatedly ravaged by some indescribable force.

Professor Wang just confidently asserted that it was alien technology.

Then the person in question called and said that was his mother's seafood bucket?

"Do you think I'm a three-year-old?"

Qin Yue's voice turned cold.

"We detected that it is continuously releasing high-frequency energy fluctuations. How do you explain that?"

"Oh, that one."

The other person's tone became more casual.

"That uses the latest quantum freshness-locking technology, which uses high-frequency particle vibration to keep the food cells in a dormant state, locking in moisture and flavor to the maximum extent."

"With technology developing so fast these days, Captain Qin, you should read more books when you have time, otherwise you'll easily fall behind the times."

Qin San Sui—no, Qin Yue—felt her blood pressure was soaring.

She slammed her fist on the table.

"Mr. Li! You'd better give me a reasonable explanation!"

She called out the name that had been swirling in her mind countless times.

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

Five full seconds passed before the voice sounded again, tinged with a hint of surprise.

"Oh, you know my surname is Li?"

"Alright, since you're so sincere, I'll send you something, take a look yourself."

"Beep beep beep..."

The call was disconnected.

Before Qin Yue could react, her encrypted computer on her desk received a new email.

Sender: [Mr. Li, a kind-hearted citizen]

She opened the email.

The attachments are two documents.

One document is an "Electronic Order for Customized Products of XX Heavy Industry," which clearly lists the product name, specifications, materials, and customization fees of up to eight figures.

The product name clearly states: "【Civilian Grade • Quantum Dynamic Freshness Locker】".

The other document is the "Product Instruction Manual (Version 2.0)".

It uses various seemingly profound professional terms and physical formulas to explain in detail what "quantum entanglement preservation field", "high-dimensional energy loop" and "negative entropy condensation technology" are.

Qin Yue was completely baffled.

This thing is a perfect forgery.

The most outrageous thing is that there is an anti-counterfeiting QR code in the corner of the order.

Qin Yue, as if possessed, took out her phone and scanned the code.

The phone screen flashed.

A familiar red interface popped up.

"Your friend is inviting you to help them cut the price; successfully do so and you can get a free 'Luxury Seafood Gift Pack'!"

At the very bottom of the interface is a huge "Help him cut it" button.

"Bang!"

Qin Yue slammed the phone in her hand onto the table.

She covered her forehead, leaned back in her chair, and let out a long, powerless groan.

fraud!

This is absolutely a colossal fraud!

But unfortunately, you can't find any evidence.

The other party had all the necessary paperwork, their logic was consistent, and they even thoughtfully included a link to after-sales reviews.

You tell him it's alien technology, and he says it's something you got by cutting corners on Pinduoduo.

This case is unsolvable.

……

Genting Villa No. 1.

Looking at Qin Yue's utterly dejected expression on the screen, Li Haotian took a satisfied sip of cola.

"Done."

Su Wan stood to the side, having witnessed the entire incredible phone call her boss made, her expression completely numb.

To describe a strategic container capable of triggering the evolution of mythical creatures as a seafood bucket sold on Pinduoduo.

They even managed to trick the elite captain of Dragon Shield into crippling a position.

This operation can only be described as extremely cruel.

"Boss, will they really return it?"

"Yes."

Li Haotian swung his legs.

"First, that thing is a hot potato in their hands; they can't figure it out, and they can't destroy it either."

"Secondly, I've already given them a way out, and now they can't wait to get rid of this blame."

"Thirdly..."

Li Haotian smiled.

"They dare not not pay."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Li Haotian's personal cell phone rang.

It was Qin Yue calling.

Her voice was filled with exhaustion, as if she had just fought three hundred ruthless bandits for three days and three nights.

"We'll send someone to deliver the items to you."

"That's great! Free shipping, dear?"

"Postage to be paid upon delivery!"

Qin Yue practically yelled it out, then slammed the phone down.

Li Haotian shrugged and tossed his phone aside.

"All done, just waiting for the delivery."

An hour later.

A black van without any markings stopped in front of the Yunding No. 1 Villa.

Two men dressed in plain clothes, but with upright postures, carried a heavy black metal box down.

Liu Hu signed for the package at the door and then struggled to carry it into the living room.

Li Haotian stepped forward and opened the lid of the box with one hand.

The dark gold thermos was lying quietly inside, its surface still shimmering with blue light.

"Boss, there's nothing wrong with the stuff." Su Wan scanned it with a professional instrument.

"Um."

Li Haotian nodded, his gaze sweeping over the bottom of the container.

There, a black dot smaller than a grain of rice adheres to the metal surface, almost blending into the background.

[System notification: "Dragon Tooth-3" miniature tracking beacon detected. Delete it?]

Li Haotian's lips curled up slightly.

"Clear? No need."

He looked at Su Wan.

"Didn't you say before that the black tulips in the garden weren't growing well?"

Su Wan was stunned for a moment, then she understood.

"Yes, boss, it needs fertilizing."

"Then let's take our new friend for a stroll in the garden."

Li Haotian patted the thermos cup, as if he were patting an old friend on the shoulder.

"Let Captain Qin also appreciate our gardening skills."
