You got your marriage certificate and then abandoned me? I'll feed the richest woman in the wor

drop--!!

drop--!!

High-frequency, piercing mechanical electronic sounds.

Like a sharp awl, it pierced through the cool and quiet first-class cabin of the Gulfstream aircraft.

The faint, calming scent of chamomile in the air was instantly ripped apart by the chilling alarm.

Chen Yuan's movements suddenly froze.

The large hand that was tucking the blanket around Shen Wanzhou stopped in mid-air.

The muscles between the finger bones tightened instantly, turning a cold, bluish-white color.

Two twins sleeping in the airline seats next to each other.

Startled by the sudden noise, she flailed her little hands wildly in mid-air.

She pouted and let out two uneasy hums.

Shen Wanzhou's eyelashes trembled violently.

Her peach blossom eyes snapped open, still carrying the bewilderment of just waking up and lingering moisture.

"What's wrong...?"

She muttered something under her breath.

As she tried to sit up by supporting herself on the armrest of the chair, the cashmere blanket slipped down to her waist.

Chen Yuan did not immediately reach for the phone that was vibrating wildly.

He first used the hand that was suspended in mid-air to gently but firmly press down on Shen Wanzhou's shoulder.

He pressed her back onto the soft chair back.

"It's nothing, just a minor system glitch in the company."

His voice was deep and steady, without a trace of panic or tension.

His deep eyes even carried a soothing, gentle light.

"Sweetie, sleep a little longer. We'll be gliding for another ten minutes after landing."

Chen Yuan casually pulled up the blanket and wrapped her up tightly again.

He gently rubbed the pad of his thumb against her warm cheek.

Until the doubt in Shen Wanzhou's eyes gradually dissipated.

After closing my eyes again and making steady breathing sounds.

He then withdrew his hand.

The gentle expression on her face vanished completely the moment she turned her head away, like the tide receding.

Instead.

It was even more bone-chillingly cold than the stratosphere, thousands of meters above the ground.

He pulled the specially made cell phone, its body scorching hot, from the inside pocket of his suit jacket.

Press the mute button on the side with your thumb.

The piercing alarm stopped abruptly.

But there was a flashing blood-red skull totem on the screen.

Yet it frantically bounced on the cold white screen at a high frequency of three times per second.

A series of scarlet warning codes cascaded down like a waterfall from the empty eye sockets of the skull.

This is a sign that the highest line of defense of the core hub of the dark web "Abyss" has been forcibly torn open.

Chen Yuan's back teeth were grinding together.

The masseter muscle juts out a sharp arc along the hard jawline.

He did not perform any operations on the plane.

For this level of intrusion, the computing power of a mobile terminal is simply insufficient to support a counterattack.

He had to return to the second basement level of Cloudtop Manor.

Back to the core study, filled with top-of-the-line liquid-cooled servers.

A Maybach SUV sped along the main road of Jianghai City late at night.

The sound of tires rubbing against the asphalt road surface seemed particularly violent on the quiet street.

Back at the manor.

Chen Yuan gently settled the still-sleeping Shen Wanzhou and the two children onto the large bed in the master bedroom on the second floor.

The movement was so light that not even a feather could be heard falling.

He tucked the blanket around her.

Turn around.

He strode out of the bedroom.

The moment the heavy mahogany door closed.

The last trace of his domestic warmth was completely locked inside the door.

Leather shoes stepped onto the wooden floor of the spiral staircase.

His steps were both fast and heavy.

Every step exuded a strong sense of impending doom.

Two underground floors.

The half-ton metal explosion-proof door slid open to both sides after passing through the retinal scan.

Inside the 2,000-square-meter core computer room.

The normally tranquil, pale blue light was now completely replaced by glaring red warning lights.

Cooling fans for hundreds of heavy-duty servers.

It is emitting a ferocious roar as it operates beyond its limits.

The sound was even more deafening than the engine noise of a Boeing passenger plane taking off.

In front of the huge circular control console.

Xiao Liu was wearing that faded junior high school uniform.

He was kneeling on the gaming chair, with half of his body almost lying on the keyboard.

The afterimages created by ten fingers typing on the keyboard are so fast that they cannot be captured by the naked eye.

The crisp sound of the keyboard switches colliding created a dense, torrential downpour.

Chu Feng stood in front of another secondary control unit.

She clutched her hair with both hands; her once neatly styled hair was now a mess, like a ball of yarn that had been scratched by a cat.

"Hold on! The data stream on node two is collapsing! Disconnect the physical connection immediately!"

Chu Feng roared into the microphone.

His voice was cracking, filled with obvious panic.

Chen Yuan strode into the server room and casually ripped off his tie.

He casually tossed the bespoke suit jacket onto the leather sofa beside him.

"Condition."

He walked to the control panel and placed his hands on the marble countertop.

His cold, sharp gaze was fixed on the largest curved display screen in the center.

Hearing Chen Yuan's voice.

Xiao Liu and Chu Feng felt like they had grasped at a lifeline.

The nerves, which were so taut they were about to snap, relaxed for a mere half-second.

"Boss! You're finally back!"

Chu Feng suddenly turned his head.

Sweat streamed down his face, splashing into the gaps between the black keyboard keys.

"Ten minutes ago, the main server of that ghost base station we deployed in the high seas of the Pacific Ocean."

"We have suffered a devastating attack from an unknown force!"

"The other side is not an ordinary hacker group."

Chu Feng swallowed hard, his voice trembling.

"It's Interpol's Cyber ​​Security Department!"

"They joined forces with several top hacker consortia on Wall Street and in Europe."

"They've mobilized in full force!"

A cold, dark glint flashed in Chen Yuan's eyes.

He knew all too well what these people were plotting.

Over the past six months.

Star Ventures has stirred up a storm in the international capital market.

Every flow of funds in the hundreds of billions, every short selling and merger.

All of these transactions were laundered and transferred through the dark web's underlying channels of this ghost base station.

Where did this money go?

This instilled unprecedented fear in Western financial magnates who considered themselves the controllers of the world economy.

They dare not openly take action against Star Ventures.

Because Chen Yuan's identity is no longer just that of the richest man in Jianghai City.

It is the uncrowned king that controls countless economic lifelines in China.

and so.

They chose the dark web, a lawless and chaotic arena.

To carry out this relentless assassination.

As long as the last firewall of the ghost base station is breached.

They obtained underlying data evidence of Xingchen Venture Capital's money laundering and funding sources.

That way, Star Ventures could be directly classified as an illegal terrorist organization in an international court.

At that time.

Not only will Chen Yuan's multi-trillion-dollar business empire collapse instantly.

Along with Shen Wanzhou beside him, and even their two newborn children.

They will all be dragged into an endless abyss.

These foreign devils.

They want to completely destroy his home in the digital world!

"Where did they get the computing power to tear through our outer three layers of camouflage in an instant?"

Chen Yuan tapped his fingers twice on the solid wood tabletop.

The sound was perfectly steady, without the slightest ripple.

Even in such a crisis when the building is about to collapse.

He maintained that absolute calmness, as if he had everything under his feet.

"Quantum computers..."

Xiao Liu knelt on the gaming chair, not daring to even turn his head back.

His thick, black-rimmed glasses had slipped halfway off his nose, but he didn't bother to push them up.

Sweat covered his young face.

"Boss, they used three of the most advanced military-grade quantum computers currently in service."

"Their computing power is more than 100,000 times that of ours."

Xiao Liu's voice was filled with a deep sense of despair.

Faced with absolute overwhelming hardware computing power.

Any brilliant code logic is like trying to stop a tsunami with a stick.

They are utterly vulnerable.

on the screen.

The red arrow represents the enemy's attack data stream.

Like a group of sharks that have smelled blood.

It is relentlessly and frantically devouring the last green defense network of the ghost base station.

Red garbled characters cascaded down like a waterfall.

The originally neat code interface was turned into a pot of chaotic blood.

"Sixty percent of the defense line has been penetrated!"

"Seventy percent complete!"

Chu Feng looked at the red warnings that kept flashing on the secondary control screen.

His hands were frantically typing repair commands on the keyboard.

But the patch code was immediately cracked by the terrifying brute force of quantum computers.

It instantly turned into meaningless gibberish.

This feeling of helplessness as you watch your fortress being destroyed bit by bit.

This sent a chill down the spines of these top hackers who usually wielded considerable influence on the dark web.

The public channels of the entire dark web.

At this moment, a deathly silence had fallen.

Countless top hackers, intelligence brokers, and leaders of underground organizations worldwide.

They were all behind the screen, intently watching this battle of the century.

They know.

If this ghostly base station in the "Abyss" falls.

The decade-long order of the dark web will be completely rewritten.

Western capital will take over absolute control of this underground world.

“Pah!”

Inside the server room, there is a liquid-cooled server that hosts the defense decoy program.

It produced a dull thud.

Followed by.

A plume of thick, black smoke billowed out of the exhaust vent.

The pungent smell of burning plastic instantly filled the entire space.

"Interception failed! All decoy nodes destroyed!"

Xiao Liu looked at the last green area on the screen, which represented safety.

It is being rapidly devoured by the red data stream.

His ten fingers were strained from excessive pounding.

It is already red, swollen, and bleeding.

But it still couldn't stop that devastating attack.

Xiao Liu stared at the rapidly increasing intrusion progress bar on the screen, his voice trembling: "Boss, the enemy's computing power is too strong! The third firewall is about to collapse!"
