You went on a blind date and presented an A-level wanted criminal as a meeting gift?

"Done."

Two words: calm and serene.

But like two heavy bombs, they exploded in the deathly silent technical department office!

Every single technician present was frozen in place, as if they had been struck by a spell.

They stared intently at the main computer screen, which had returned to normal operation, their eyes wide open, their mouths agape, big enough to fit an egg.

Is it done?

Is that all... done?

That was an encrypted data stream that had been physically erased by top hackers and had a chain of self-destruct mechanisms set up!

Their entire elite technical team worked tirelessly, even to the point of exhaustion, to overcome an impenetrable wall, and you solved it in just three minutes by tapping on a keyboard?!

Is this... magic or a miracle?!

"No...impossible!"

A piercing, distorted scream shattered the deathly silence.

Li Mingyu lunged forward like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, his face flushed a deep liver color from the blood rushing to his head.

He simply doesn't believe it!

He clung to the screen, his eyes bloodshot, frantically dragging the mouse.

"It's fake! It's definitely fake!"

"You've just created a fake recovery interface to fool people! The real data chain has long been destroyed!"

He roared incoherently, trying to find the slightest flaw to salvage his already shattered and pathetic self-esteem.

However, Lin Chen didn't even bother to look up at him.

He leaned back in his chair, his long, slender fingers tapping casually on the keyboard.

The monitoring footage on the screen vanished instantly, replaced by a deep, dark background as vast as the universe, and lines of code scrolling rapidly like scribbles.

"Restore monitoring?"

Lin Chen's lips curled into a mocking smile, his gaze as if he were looking at a primitive man jumping around.

"That kind of low-level maneuver doesn't even warrant my attention?"

After speaking, he pressed the Enter key.

Om-!

In the center of the screen, a blood-red skull logo flashed by!

Immediately afterwards, a dark web forum interface filled with violence, bloodshed, and evil was presented to everyone in a grotesque manner!

At the top of the forum, a striking title was written in English: "[Unexpected Art]!"

"This...this is..."

A senior technician was so startled when he saw this interface that he trembled and dropped his thermos with a clatter.

"The dark web! This is the dark web platform where the world's top assassins and criminal organizations trade!"

The entire audience gasped instantly!

A chill ran down everyone's spine, and their scalps tingled!

While they were still figuring out how to restore a segment of local surveillance footage, Lin Chen... had already followed the internet cable and stormed into the criminals' hideout?!

This is no longer a matter of overwhelming technological superiority!

This is a dimensional reduction attack!

Li Mingyu's body trembled violently, and the color drained from his face at a visible speed, turning it as pale as paper.

He tried to say something, but found that his throat felt like it was stuffed with cotton, and he couldn't utter a single syllable.

Lin Chen, however, remained indifferent to this.

His fingers tapped lightly on the keyboard.

A pinned bounty post was instantly enlarged and took up the entire screen.

[Bounty Mission (S-Rank)]

[Target 1: Ye Qingcheng (President of Ye Group)]

[Target Two: Lin Chen (Criminal Investigation Consultant, Jiangcheng City Public Security Bureau)]

[Mission Requirements: The incident must be staged as an untraceable accident.]

[Bounty: 50 million US dollars!]

"hiss--!!!"

When the astronomical bounty was revealed, the only sound in the office was a series of gasps!

Fifty million!

It's still in US dollars!

This amount of money is enough to drive any top assassin organization in the world crazy!

Every police officer present felt a chill run from the soles of their feet straight to the top of their head!

They finally realized that what they were facing was not some ordinary business feud!

It's a deadly game orchestrated by a top-tier criminal organization, involving international assassins!

Li Mingyu's legs went weak, and he could no longer support himself, collapsing to the ground with a thud.

He looked at the photo of Lin Chen on the screen, which was listed as one of the top targets, and then thought about his incredibly stupid sarcastic remarks just now...

My mind went completely blank.

Lin Chen's expression remained unchanged.

It was as if the $50 million reward wasn't for him, but for a complete stranger.

His fingers tapped lightly on the keyboard, as if playing a death symphony.

"If you want to play, I'll play with you to the very end."

He spoke softly, a chilling murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

[God-level hacking skills] Full power!

On the screen, he painstakingly extracted the flow of the bounty funds from the depths of the dark web's database!

Countless complex data streams, encrypted and disguised, laundered through dozens of countries, are presented to the public like an impenetrable net.

But in front of Lin Chen, this net was as fragile as a spider's web!

His fingers moved like afterimages, each strike precisely tearing through a disguise!

Anonymous accounts at Swiss banks...

Offshore companies in the Cayman Islands...

Underground banks in Southeast Asia...

He violently shattered the layers of mist with overwhelming force!

final!

All the funds, like rivers flowing into the sea, all point to the same source!

A perfectly clear IP address was locked in the center of the screen!

Below the address, a line of small print was displayed before everyone's eyes.

[Final IP address: Jiangcheng City, Zhao Group Building, top floor, chairman's office.]

The proof is like a mountain!

Li Mingyu stared at the words on the screen, feeling dizzy and a sweet taste rise in his throat, almost spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Every word he had said and every judgment he had made now felt like a slap across his own face, burning with pain!

Just then, Lin Chen's eyes suddenly narrowed.

He slammed down the last key, forcibly intercepting a private communication from a self-destructing encrypted channel!

A dialog box popped up on the screen.

[Employer: The target is highly vigilant. Plan A has failed. Activate Plan B.]

[Executor (codename: Poisonous Bee): Received. Arrived in Jiangcheng. Give me the address. Tonight, send them to meet their maker.]

[Employer: No. 12 Sanhe Road, suburbs; unlicensed and unregistered hotel. Waiting for my reply.]

Upon seeing this conversation, Su Qingge's pupils suddenly contracted!

Poisonous bees!

He is the seventeenth-ranked top assassin on the international assassin rankings!

He is most skilled at using various poisoned miniature weapons and creating locked-room murders. He is ruthless and never fails!

He... he's already arrived in Jiangcheng!

Lin Chen's cold smile grew even more sinister.

Without the slightest hesitation, his god-level hacking skills instantly locked onto the source of the communication signal, tearing apart all the other party's disguises and stepping stones!

On the screen, a satellite map of the suburbs of Jiangcheng City was rapidly enlarged.

A flashing red dot was finally locked on with unparalleled precision.

Located at No. 12 Sanhe Road in the suburban area, this is a black-market hotel without even a sign!

Third floor, room 302!

"Catching a turtle in a jar."

Lin Chen slowly stood up, moved his wrists, and his knuckles cracked.

He turned his head, his dark eyes looking at Su Qingge, whose pretty face was now solemn, his eyes revealing a murderous intent.

"Captain Su, this poisonous wasp must be removed immediately!"

"I have a plan."

His voice was steady and calm, carrying an undeniable and powerful aura.

"I'll disguise myself as Zhao Tailong's liaison and go in first to scout the situation. You'll lead the team outside to provide support. Wait for my signal, then we'll close in immediately!"

"No! It's too dangerous!"

Su Qingge blurted it out almost without thinking, her voice trembling slightly without her even realizing it.

Those are "poisonous bees"!

A ruthless demon king who kills without blinking an eye!

Sending Lin Chen to face him alone is tantamount to sending him to his death!

Looking at the worry and anxiety in her eyes, Lin Chen felt a warm current flow through his heart.

He stepped forward, looked directly into Su Qingge's eyes, and his voice became low and firm.

"Believe me."

These three simple words seem to possess boundless magic.

Su Qingge looked into his deep, star-like eyes, which held no fear, only absolute confidence in his complete control.

Her wildly beating heart miraculously calmed down.

I can no longer bring myself to say no.

Finally, she bit her red lips tightly and nodded heavily.

"good!"

"Be careful!"
