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

The CEO's office on the top floor of the Yip Group's headquarters building in Beijing.

Outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows lies the most bustling night view of Beijing, with dazzling lights resembling a flowing galaxy.

But inside the office, the atmosphere was so oppressive it felt like water could drip from it.

Ye Qingcheng, dressed in a black business suit, sat on the huge boss's chair. Her usually stunningly beautiful face was now covered with frost.

Before her stood a row of the group's core executives, each with their heads bowed, silent and trembling.

"A finance vice president and a general counsel were murdered on the same night, using two methods that could only be described as art!"

Ye Qingcheng's voice wasn't loud, but every word was like a knife chilled to the bone, piercing everyone's heart.

"This is no longer a simple act of revenge; this is a declaration of war against me, Ye Qingcheng! It's a declaration of war against the entire Ye Group!"

"Bang!"

She slammed her hand on the table, the expensive mahogany desk making a dull thud.

"I don't care if the other party is a remnant of the Xiao family or a die-hard member of the Sky Dome Group. I'm giving you three days to use all the connections and resources in the group to drag this rat hiding in the gutter out!"

"Yes, Mr. Ye!"

The executives responded in unison, and as if granted a pardon, they fled the office.

The moment the heavy office door closed, Ye Qingcheng's powerful, queen-like aura instantly crumbled.

She leaned back wearily in her chair, rubbing her aching temples, a hint of vulnerability flashing in her eyes that she only showed when she was alone.

The side door to the office was gently pushed open.

Lin Chen walked in.

He looked at the slightly lonely figure under the lamplight and felt a pang of pain in his heart.

This woman always habitually shows her toughest side to outsiders, but keeps all the pressure and exhaustion to herself.

He walked behind Ye Qingcheng, stretched out his arms, and gently embraced her from behind.

Upon smelling that familiar, comforting scent, Ye Qingcheng's body stiffened instantly, then completely relaxed, like a kitten that had found its harbor, pressing her back against Lin Chen's warm chest.

"Honey, are they getting revenge on me? Are they trying to slap you in the face?"

Ye Qingcheng's voice trembled slightly, revealing a hint of grievance.

She wasn't afraid of the cutthroat competition in the business world, but she was afraid of these insidious tactics from the shadows, targeting those close to her.

"Fool, what are you saying?"

Lin Chen gently stroked her smooth, long hair, resting his chin lightly on her fragrant shoulder, but his eyes flashed with terrifying killing intent.

"This isn't someone from the Xiao family. Xiao Zhen and his gang of idiots don't have that kind of brain. This is a master who understands physics, chemistry, psychology, and internet technology."

"He's not seeking revenge; he's playing a cat-and-mouse game. And we are the mice in his eyes."

"game?"

Ye Qingcheng clenched her teeth, her beautiful eyes blazing with fury.

"What gives him the right?!"

"Based on his self-righteous cleverness."

A cold, deathly smile curled at the corner of Lin Chen's mouth.

"However, he will soon find out that he has not provoked a rat at all, but a prehistoric behemoth that he can never afford to mess with."

Lin Chen's eyes gleamed with absolute confidence.

He unlocked the [God-Level Actuary Mastery]!

In an instant, his brain transformed into a quantum computer of an ultra-high dimension.

All the information on the senior executives of the Ye Group who participated in the "Xiao Family-Sky Dome Industry" integration project, including their positions, personalities, business segments they were responsible for, and even their home addresses and lifestyles... everything was quickly modeled, analyzed, and deduced in his mind.

The killer's pattern of choosing targets, the most likely target for the next attack, and the most likely "accidental" methods... countless possibilities were calculated clearly in just a few seconds.

"Qingcheng, listen to me."

Lin Chen's voice became steady and powerful.

"Immediately notify the three senior executives of the group: Zhao Deming, who is in charge of asset liquidation; Professor Sun, who is in charge of technology handover; and Chen Wan, who is in charge of overseas channels."

"Tell them that from now on, for the next 24 hours, they are not allowed to leave the place I have designated, not allowed to see any outsiders, and not allowed to use any unchecked electronic devices."

"Use your financial power to equip each of them with a top-tier security team of twelve retired special forces soldiers, working in three shifts, providing close protection, even having someone guard the door when they go to the toilet!"

Although Ye Qingcheng didn't know why Lin Chen was able to pinpoint these three people so accurately, she trusted him completely and immediately picked up the phone to issue instructions without hesitation.

"And this too."

Lin Chen took out three small gadgets from his pocket that looked like ordinary Bluetooth earphones, but with a more sophisticated design.

This is something he made himself on his way here, using the equipment in the police station's laboratory and activating his [God-level Materials Science Mastery].

"These are infrasonic physical shielding earplugs, made of ultra-density memory metal and sound wave damping materials."

"From now on, all three of them must wear it to bed."

"Does he like playing with high-tech accidents?"

Lin Chen looked at the night view outside the window, his eyes as cold as an abyss.

"Then I'll show him what absolute defense is, and what it means to kick a hornet's nest."

A vast net woven from the power of money and cutting-edge technology has quietly been unfurled.

Lin Chen knew very well that when the killer discovered that his carefully prepared "accidents" had failed time and time again, his arrogant and perverted mentality would inevitably make him unable to restrain himself and would take the initiative to emerge from the shadows and reveal his fangs.

Lin Chen was waiting for that moment.
