Special forces soldier demobilization: Starting from the county government compound, a meteoric rise

Late at night, in a secluded upscale manor on the outskirts of the capital.

Zhao Ruihu paced anxiously back and forth in his study, which was covered with a thick Persian carpet, like a trapped beast driven to the brink of despair. He clutched a specially encrypted satellite phone tightly in his hand, his knuckles turning blue from the excessive force.

"Mr. Smith, that Liu guy not only tore up the contract, he also publicly fired my two most capable section chiefs! He even has the authority of the Organization Department of the Central Committee!"

Zhao Ruihu's voice was low, but he couldn't hide his fear and anger.

"If we don't take drastic measures, he will take over all the underlying data of the High-Tech Division within three days. At that time, all the secret channels through which we transferred funds via project subsidies will be exposed! It doesn't matter if our Zhao family is finished, but your M Group's years of planning in China will also be completely destroyed!"

There was a full half-minute of silence on the other end of the phone.

The only sound was the faint hissing sound of a burning cigar.

"Zhao, calm down."

A deep, arrogant English voice rang out. It was Smith, the true mastermind behind the M Group's Greater China operations and the most secretive agent of international comprador capital in China.

"We had anticipated that the Chinese leadership wouldn't tolerate our technological exploitation indefinitely. We just didn't expect them to send such a rabid dog."

Smith chuckled, a laugh filled with the contempt of a superior for an ant.

"Since this dog is disobedient and even tries to bite, let's pull out its teeth and blind it first. Zhao, I've already put a bounty on the dark web."

Ghost Hive, one of the world's top three hacking groups, has accepted the order. In ten minutes, they will launch an attack using a zero-day vulnerability hidden in the underlying layers of the National Development and Reform Commission's servers.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ruihu's eyes instantly flashed with wild joy.

"A zero-day vulnerability? You mean they can directly cripple the High-Tech Division's systems?"

"Paralyze him?" Smith coldly corrected. "No, that's too easy on him. I'm going to have 'Ghost Hive' tamper with the most critical approval data and scramble all the parameters for dozens of nationally classified projects."

I will make this self-proclaimed "national hero" a sinner for all time, before dawn tomorrow, responsible for setting back China's technology by ten years!

"Doesn't he like drastic measures? I'll show him that in the face of absolute capital and technology, his little bit of administrative power is as fragile as a piece of toilet paper!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Ruihu burst into laughter.

Looking out at the deep night, he seemed to already see Liu Ming being taken away by the National Security Bureau tomorrow, his reputation ruined and his miserable end.

"Liu Ming, you're ready to fight me with your life!"

The next morning.

Information Center, High-Tech Industry Department, National Development and Reform Commission.

"Beep—beep—beep—!!!"

A piercing red alarm suddenly blared wildly in the spacious server room!

The indicator lights on the dozens of giant servers that were running quietly began to flash wildly, turning an extremely dangerous blood red.

"What happened?"

The director of the information center rushed into the computer room, stumbling and crawling. When he saw the garbled text pouring down like a waterfall on the main control screen, his face turned deathly pale.

"Director! Something terrible has happened! We've been attacked by an unknown hacker with a massive DDoS attack! They not only blocked our external ports, but also... bypassed three layers of physical firewalls and directly accessed the core 'Loongson Project' database!"

A senior technician frantically typed on the keyboard, but the "Access Denied" message that popped up on the screen seemed to be mercilessly mocking his incompetence.

He was covered in sweat, and his voice was distorted with extreme fear.

"Director! The other party is tampering with the data! The lithography machine light source blueprints, the quantum communication encryption algorithm... all the parameters of top-secret projects are being forcibly rewritten! If the connection cannot be severed within three minutes, this data will be completely rendered useless!"

"Unplug the network cable! Unplug the network cable now!" the director roared hysterically.

"Can't unplug it! The other party has locked control over the physical port. If we forcibly cut off the power, the server's self-destruct program will be activated! All data will be wiped!"

despair.

A profound sense of despair, like an icy tide, instantly engulfed the entire information center.

These technicians, who usually pride themselves on being the top IT elites in the country, are as vulnerable as lambs to the slaughter when faced with this devastating hacker attack.

It’s over.

Once this core national data is destroyed, even if these people had ten heads, it wouldn't be enough to chop them off!

At this critical moment.

"Bang!"

The heavy security door to the server room was kicked open.

Liu Ming strode in. He wasn't wearing a suit, just a simple white shirt, but the chilling aura emanating from him instantly lowered the temperature in the server room to freezing.

"Director...Director..." The director of the information center clung to the wall, almost in tears, "We've been hacked! State secrets are going to be lost!"

"I saw it."

Liu Ming's sharp gaze swept over the frantically flashing red lights. He didn't fly into a rage or panic like an ordinary official.

He knew all too well what was going on.

A cornered dog will jump over the wall.

Zhao Ruihu and the comprador capital behind him finally couldn't hold back any longer and revealed their most vicious fangs. They wanted to use this method to completely destroy the foundation of China's independent research and development, and incidentally nail Liu Ming to the pillar of shame.

Such ruthless methods. Such vicious schemes.

If it were any other director facing such a dead end, they would probably have no choice but to resign or even commit seppuku to atone for their sins.

Unfortunately, they encountered Liu Ming.

He was the Asura who possessed the "Dragon Fang" system and fought his way in and out of Death Valley seven times.

"Make way, everyone."

Liu Ming's tone was flat, without the slightest fluctuation.

He walked to the control panel, pulled aside the sweating technician, but did not sit down himself.

He simply pulled out his specially made black encrypted phone from his pocket and skillfully dialed a number.

The phone was answered after only one ring.

"Boss."

Through the earphones came Ghost Hand's lazy, even slightly sleepy, hoarse voice. But those who knew him well knew that Ghost Hand was most terrifying in this state.

"Someone is causing trouble on my turf."

Looking at the frantically flashing red gibberish on the screen, Liu Ming's lips curled into a cruel, chilling smile. That smile was as if she were eyeing the most delicious prey in the world.

"You're saying I can't even touch an official seal? And you want to destroy my database?"

Liu Ming paused, his voice deep and resonant, carrying an undeniable air of dominance:

"Get to work."

"I want them so badly that not even a keyboard fragment will be left."
