In the conference room, Su Qingge jerked her hand back as if she had been electrocuted.

The warm, soft touch, and the subtle teasing from her fingertips, felt like a faint electric current, instantly shooting from her palm to the top of her head, causing her usually cool and aloof face to flush uncontrollably.

She instinctively put her hands behind her back and clenched them tightly, as if trying to crush that strange feeling.

Lin Chen acted as if nothing had happened, withdrawing his hand and turning his gaze back to the three huge curved screens.

He pointed to the simple golden house icon in the center of the screen, his voice returning to its usual calm.

"This 'Golden House' app is the core ledger of Taian Financial and their only money laundering portal."

His fingers tapped lightly on the keyboard, and a huge graph showing the flow of funds began to evolve dynamically.

"All funds from investors, once inside this app, are broken down into countless small amounts, which are then circulated frequently and haphazardly through tens of thousands of virtual accounts, ultimately..."

Lin Chen pressed the Enter key, and the screen changed.

A deep blue world nautical chart has replaced the complex charts of fund flows.

"All funds are ultimately transferred to an overseas server terminal."

"But this server is not located on the land of any country."

In the conference room, everyone held their breath.

"It's on the high seas."

Lin Chen lightly tapped the screen with his fingertip, and a satellite image of a luxury cruise ship was magnified to its maximum size.

"A luxury gambling ship named 'Poseidon'."

"hiss--"

A collective gasp filled the conference room.

Gambling ship in international waters!

This means that it is a mobile, lawless place, not governed by the laws of any country!

"How...how do we investigate this?"

The head of the economic crime investigation team turned pale.

"We have no law enforcement authority whatsoever; we can't even board the boat!"

Lu Zhenhua's expression also became extremely solemn. The hope that had just been ignited was extinguished by a bucket of cold water.

"You need a boat ticket to get on."

Lin Chen's voice was neither hurried nor slow.

"This ship operates on a strict membership invitation system; there are no admission tickets, and you can't even get into the private dock where it's moored."

In the corner, a smug, cold smile finally appeared on Li Mingyu's face.

No matter how capable you are, can you fly to the high seas?

"But as long as it's a business, there will always be people trying to solicit customers."

Lin Chen turned his head and beckoned to the cyber police captain, who looked at him with admiration.

"Jiangcheng, West District: Filter all online promotional IP addresses related to 'gambling ship' and 'high seas' and trace their source."

"Yes, Master!"

The cyber police captain, as if injected with adrenaline, quickly started working on his laptop.

In less than thirty seconds, a map of Jiangcheng City appeared on the big screen, with a red dot flashing wildly in a certain area in the west of the city.

Immediately afterwards, a man's information was retrieved.

The man in the photo has a hideous scar on his left cheek that runs from his eyebrow to his chin, and he has a fierce look in his eyes.

"Scarface, whose real name is Li Hu, is the biggest junket operator in Jiangcheng, specializing in finding high-rollers inland for the 'Poseidon'."

As they looked at the information on the screen, the entire conference room fell silent once again.

The problem has been identified, and the key person has been found.

But who will go?

How do I get there?

That's a ruthless killer who doesn't even blink an eye.

His territory was no different from a den of dragons and tigers.

In the midst of this solemn silence, Lin Chen slowly stood up.

He straightened his slightly wrinkled collar and uttered four words calmly.

"I'll go get the tickets."

"No!"

Su Qingge blurted out, and she quickly walked up to Lin Chen, her face full of worry.

"Li Hu has a large group of desperados under his command. It's too dangerous for you to go alone. I'll go with you..."

"With so many people around, it's easy to be exposed."

Lin Chen interrupted her.

He looked into Su Qingge's phoenix eyes, which were full of concern, and smiled slightly to reassure her.

"Don't worry, I'm just going to get two boat tickets."

After saying that, he didn't linger. Amidst the complex gazes of the crowd, he put his hands in his pockets and walked straight out of the conference room.

The door was closed, but Su Qingge's gaze remained fixed on it, her usually sharp phoenix eyes now brimming with worry.

She took a deep breath, turned around abruptly, picked up the walkie-talkie, and her voice regained its coldness and decisiveness.

"Team One, on standby! Ready to provide support at any time!"

……

Under the cover of night, a black Audi RS7 let out a deep roar, instantly tearing through the darkness and speeding off towards the west of the city.

Royal No. 1 Underground Casino, West of the City.

This is the most chaotic and filthy gray area in the entire Jiangcheng.

The VIP suite on the top floor was filled with smoke, and the air was thick with the decadent smell of cigars, alcohol, and cheap perfume.

Scarface was shirtless, revealing his muscular physique covered in tattoos. He was embracing two scantily clad beauties on either side, his rough hands roaming freely over their bodies, eliciting bursts of seductive laughter.

On the mahogany coffee table in front of him were stacks of red banknotes.

Just as he grabbed a wad of cash, preparing to stuff it into the collar of the beautiful woman next to him.

"Bang--!"

The heavy solid wood door of the private room was violently kicked open from the outside!

The loud noise abruptly stopped the decadent music in the entire private room.

"Damn it! Who is it?! Looking for death?!"

Scarface shoved the woman beside him away, stood up abruptly, and revealed a fierce glint in his eyes.

The dozen or so burly men who were playing cards and drinking in the private room suddenly stood up, grabbed bottles of liquor and ashtrays from the table, and surrounded them menacingly.

Under everyone's gaze, a tall, slender figure strolled in with an air of leisure.

Scarface squinted, sizing up the newcomer.

Dressed in well-tailored casual wear, with handsome features and a clean-cut demeanor, he looked every bit like a naive and wealthy young master.

He gave a disdainful laugh and spat out the cigar from his mouth.

"Where did this brat come from? Wrong door? Running wild here, do you know whose territory this is?"

Ignoring the menacing thugs around him, Lin Chen walked straight to the coffee table in front of Scarface, pulled out a chair, and sat down by himself.

He pulled a completely black bank card without any markings from his pocket and casually tossed it onto the pile of banknotes.

"I want two VVIP tickets for the Poseidon."

"Now."

Scarface was stunned for a moment, then looked as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.

He didn't laugh immediately, but stared at Lin Chen with a sinister look, a cruel smile curving his lips.

"Kid, you've got guts."

"But in my experience, those with guts usually die a horrible death."

He suddenly waved his hand, his voice rising abruptly, carrying a strong stench of blood.

"Break his arms and legs, and cut out his tongue to feed the dogs!"

Several thugs grinned maliciously, cracking their knuckles as they approached Lin Chen step by step, their dark figures completely enveloping him.

However, Lin Chen remained unmoved.

He didn't even look up at the approaching thugs; he simply took out his phone and unlocked the screen.

At the same time, he murmured something softly, but his voice carried clearly throughout the entire private room.

"In three seconds, clear all of this fly's accounts and freeze its assets."

Scarface finally couldn't hold back and burst into laughter, almost laughing until tears streamed down his face.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"Holy crap! Is this kid out of his mind? Resetting everything to zero?"

"Who do you think you are? The God of Wealth?"
