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

The clamor at the Wangfu Hotel gradually subsided with Xiao Zhen's defeat, but the undercurrents in the capital's high society were just beginning to stir.

Lin Chen ignored the terrified guests and Xiao Zhen's ashen face.

He knew that a much larger battle was just beginning.

Back in the safe house in the Su family compound, Lin Chen, ignoring his exhaustion, immediately turned on his laptop.

He didn't waste time interrogating the mentally unstable killer, because what he wanted was a deeper secret.

[God-level hacking skills] activated instantly; his fingers danced rapidly across the keyboard, like a sprite in the night.

The target was the cell phone of the deceased CFO.

He knew that a key figure of this caliber would never put all their eggs in one basket.

The hypnotized killer only knew the "Mandala" command, but may not have known the more secretive backup plan.

Sure enough, after hacking into the CFO's encrypted phone, Lin Chen discovered an extremely secretive email.

The email content was garbled, but the attachment was a compressed file with multiple layers of encryption.

A cold smile curled at the corner of Lin Chen's lips. This level of encryption was child's play to him.

A few seconds later, the compressed file was successfully decrypted.

Inside was an e-ticket information sheet and a brief message: "The core data has been stored on a USB drive and given to my mistress, Wang Qian. She will be taking the high-speed train to Jiangcheng City overnight. Please ensure the USB drive is safe."

USB flash drive!

Lin Chen's eyes sharpened instantly.

This USB drive is the real key!

It is not just a list of money laundering activities; it may also include the underground financial network of the Sky Dome Group in Beijing and even across the country.

This was more direct and more deadly than the clue about "Qingshan Mental Hospital" mentioned by the killer.

He glanced at the e-ticket information: G123 high-speed train, destination Jiangcheng City, departure time was one hour later.

That's too late.

He is currently in Beijing, and even if he rushes to the high-speed rail station immediately, he will not be able to intercept him in time.

Moreover, since Sky Dome Group has already noticed the abnormality of the CFO, they will definitely send people to retrieve the USB drive, or even kill him to cover it up.

Lin Chen quickly sketched out the entire situation in his mind. The assassins from the Sky Dome Group were definitely on their way to the high-speed rail station.

This high-speed train will become a mobile battlefield.

Without the slightest hesitation, he dialed a number directly.

The phone rang three times before being answered quickly.

"Hello, Consultant Lin?!"

A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone, tinged with a hint of flattery and excitement.

It's Li Mingyu.

Li Mingyu was on night shift at the Jiangcheng City Public Security Bureau, idly scrolling through his phone.

After being "educated" by Lin Chen several times, he was demoted to a squad leader in the security team, and his daily work consisted of patrolling and dealing with trivial matters.

He used to be Su Qingge's number one simp and Lin Chen's number one "hater," but now he has become Lin Chen's most loyal listener.

He dreamed of gaining Lin Chen's appreciation, returning to the criminal investigation team, and even surpassing Su Qingge.

When Li Mingyu received Lin Chen's call, he almost jumped out of his chair.

Advisor Lin!

This is a big shot in Beijing, and now he's actually calling me!

He felt like his spring had arrived!

"Advisor Lin! What are your instructions? I, Li Mingyu, will go through fire and water for you!"

Li Mingyu's voice trembled with excitement, and he even subconsciously stood at attention, as if Lin Chen were right in front of him.

Lin Chen didn't waste any words and directly and concisely told Li Mingyu the situation.

"Mingyu, take your men to Jiangcheng High-Speed ​​Railway Station immediately."

"The target is a woman named Wang Qian. She is on the G123 train and will arrive in about forty minutes."

"She was wearing a red trench coat and carrying a black handbag with a very important USB drive inside."

Li Mingyu's heart pounded as he listened to Lin Chen's voice.

Red trench coat, USB drive, important!

This is straight out of a movie!

He felt his blood boiling.

"Advisor Lin, I'll take men right away! I guarantee the mission will be accomplished!"

Li Mingyu's tone was full of confidence.

"etc."

Lin Chen's voice interrupted him.

"You go alone."

"what?"

Li Mingyu was stunned.

A person?

The high-speed rail station is so big, and it's a cross-provincial manhunt, how can one person handle it?

"Don't underestimate the Sky Dome Group."

Lin Chen's voice carried a hint of coldness.

"Their killers must also be on the train, or even have already arrived at Jiangcheng High-speed Railway Station."

"The more people you bring, the bigger the target, and the easier it is to be exposed."

Li Mingyu's expression instantly turned serious.

Assassin?

Tianqiong Group?

Although he had no experience with these things, Lin Chen's tone made him realize the seriousness of the situation.

"Consultant Lin, then... what should I do?"

Li Mingyu panicked a little.

Although he longed to make a name for himself, he also did not want to die in vain.

Lin Chen's voice carried a hint of reassurance, yet also an unquestionable command.

"Mingyu, set off immediately. I will guide you along the way."

"Remember, the Sky Dome Group's assassins are most afraid of exposure and chaos."

"Don't fight head-on, use your brain."

Lin Chen activated [God-Level Psychological Profiling], and he knew Li Mingyu's personality. Although this kid was a bit pretentious, he wasn't a bad person at heart, and he craved recognition.

Now, he needs to give him enough trust and clear instructions so that he sees this task as an opportunity to prove his worth.

"High-speed rail stations have a large passenger flow and extensive surveillance coverage."

"Assassins don't act easily; they strike at exits or in sparsely populated areas."

"Your task is to retrieve the USB drive before they make their move and ensure Wang Qian's safety."

Lin Chen's voice was like a calming anchor, gradually calming Li Mingyu down.

"I understand, Advisor Lin!"

Li Mingyu's eyes gradually hardened.

He had once been jealous of Lin Chen and resentful of him, but now, Lin Chen's trust and clear tactics made him Lin Chen's most loyal executor.

He knew this was the most important opportunity of his life, an opportunity that could completely change his destiny.

"Remember, follow my instructions completely."

"Before you go, go to the Ye Group. I'll have someone waiting for you there. Wear what that person gave you!"

Lin Chen added one last sentence.

"Yes, Advisor Lin!"

Li Mingyu hung up the phone, jumped up from his chair, grabbed his service pistol and police ID, and ran out of the security team's station.

Instead of driving a police car, he rode a shared bicycle and sped towards the Ye Group at top speed.

He knew that there must be a reason why Consultant Lin had entrusted him with such an important task.

Lin Chen looked at the real-time location of the high-speed rail on the computer screen, and then pulled up the floor plan and monitoring distribution map of Jiangcheng City's high-speed rail station.

He knew that the next forty minutes would be a race against time and death.

What he needs to do is remotely control and transform Li Mingyu, who was once a "stepping stone," into a piece capable of changing the course of the battle.

A USB drive considered a discarded pawn by the Xiao family and the Sky Dome Group, and Li Mingyu seen as an opportunity by Lin Chen.

A silent battle has quietly begun between the two cities, with both capital and Wuhan working together.

Lin Chen's lips curled into a cold smile once again.

Tianqiong Group, do you think you can rest easy now that you've cut off the CFO connection?

wrong.

Every "tail" you leave behind will become a sharp blade I use to turn against you.

For Li Mingyu, his moment of glory has only just begun.
