The Last Mr. Dongguo

Dongfang Lin was already focused, and Bai Xin beside her was also slightly bent over, his hands supporting him on the edge of the table, his eyes fixed on the computer screen filled with code and numbers. Han Zhen was also watching intently, hoping to pinpoint Fei Li and the others' location this time.

"Generally, as long as the phone can receive a signal, its location can be determined based on the trajectory, with an error margin of about 100 meters." Dongfang Lin switched between several screens and connected the computer to a device that resembled a host computer. "However, Fei Li's phone is currently in a place where it cannot receive a signal, which is likely due to being in a location with no signal or being turned off."

"Is there any other way?" Bai Xin's heart skipped a beat, and he involuntarily asked the question, looking at Dongfang Lin with expectant eyes.

"Captain Bai, don't worry. If we can't even handle this, it would be a huge betrayal of Captain Bai's trust!" Dongfang Lin didn't turn around, her smile remaining constant. Whether Bai Xin was overly worried or feigning ignorance, he simply gave a "hmm." Dongfang Lin continued, "Feili's phone has a subsystem that Li Mengying installed three years ago. Unless he changes his phone, we'll definitely find him! The error margin is in the meters. It's just that the password and connection signal were designed by Mengying, so deciphering them will take time. But don't worry, that's not a problem." Dongfang Lin patted the "host" connected to the computer. "With our 'mother,' are we afraid of not finding our 'child'?"

Seeing Dongfang Lin's confident smile, Bai Xin felt much calmer. After a rhythmic tapping of the keyboard, Dongfang Lin suddenly stopped smiling, stopped typing, and turned to look at Bai Xin and Dongfang Lin.

"What's wrong? Did you find anything?" Bai Xin asked quickly.

Dongfang Lin pointed at the signal on the screen, her face filled with astonishment: "Captain Bai, Fei Li is in the sky!"

"What!" the two exclaimed simultaneously.

Bai Xin stared at the moving cursor on the screen in confusion, not understanding the meaning behind Dongfang Lin's words for a moment.

"What does 'in heaven' mean?"

Han Zhen asked the same question that Bai Xin wanted to ask.

"The plane was inside a moving unidentified flying object, which could very well be an operational aircraft, but it was definitely not a normal flight."

"Can you pinpoint the exact location?"

"No problem," Dongfang Lin said, providing the precise location. "Based on the four signals from the high-frequency multi-directional navigation equipment and distance measuring device, we can obtain the x and y coordinates. Starting from north and moving clockwise, we can calculate the x and y coordinates to get the aircraft's coordinates." With nimble fingers and a few seemingly confusing technical terms, a map of Huzhe City appeared on Dongfang Lin's screen. "The aircraft is currently circling over the city, and our Criminal Investigation Division is right at the center."

"Dongfang, is it possible to hack into their network system using technical means to make video or audio calls?" Bai Xin posed another difficult question to Dongfang Lin. Dongfang Lin pouted, "Captain Bai, you've really given me a hard time. Let alone whether we can get into their communication system, even if we do, if they've set up anti-tracking and interference systems, it will be very difficult to make a call."

"You've worked hard!" Bai Xin didn't say much, his simple words of comfort carrying a commanding tone.

"Alright then! You two must be tired after a long day. There's a lounge across the street. You two can rest and grab something to eat. I'll figure something out." Dongfang Lin winked, and the two understood, turning and entering the lounge. As the lounge door closed, Dongfang Lin picked up the phone.

"Hey! How are you doing lately? Can you do me a favor?"

"You're too kind, please go ahead."

"To make a long story short, is it a problem to hack into a communications network?"

"No problem, but may I ask why?"

"..."

"I know, it's Bai Xin again?"

"..."

"I'll contact you again in half an hour, I'm hanging up now!"

"Professor Fei, what do you think is the most important thing in life?"

Feng Hao gradually slowed his speech, becoming as relaxed and unhurried as a bewildered child humbly seeking guidance from a teacher. He was like a cloud in the sky, flowing gently and gracefully.

"I have a clear conscience."

Without hesitation, Fei Li answered those four resounding words. For fifteen years, these four words had been his motto, etched in his heart.

"Haha, a clear conscience? Who doesn't have that mentality? In this survival-of-the-fittest society, people are increasingly straying from their original intentions. Blinded by greed and tempted by money, the higher you climb, the more you lose yourself. Desire is both your best friend and your greatest enemy. Professor Fei, you are a successful winner, but you will encounter these things one by one, even more than I have, such as the experience fifteen years ago, the friends around you, and the people you consider closest to you..."

"Fifteen years ago..."

There was a brief moment of facial muscle stiffness, but Fei Li quickly regained her composure.

How much do you know about what happened fifteen years ago?

"The secret from fifteen years ago is about to resurface and create a huge upheaval. Those people won't let me go. Even if I manage to escape today, I can't escape the organization's clutches. The moment I joined the organization, I knew this was my fate. If I told you that fifteen years ago was a conspiracy, that your parents were victims of that conspiracy, and that this conspiracy has continued unabated for the past fifteen years, when it strikes again, the power it slowly accumulates will be an even greater undercurrent." Feng Hao slowly moved his gaze closer to the man in the baseball cap, his eyes filled with contempt and disdain. "Li Feng, are you right?"

Li Feng—this name was both familiar and unfamiliar to Li Mengying. From the moment Li Mengying recognized him, it was destined that she could not escape the arrangements of fate tonight.

"Haha, it's rare to find someone in this world who knows me. However, I'm different from you. I know about that organization you're talking about; I'm a victim too."

"Victim? Hmph, in the end it's all because of greed. If it weren't for greed, you wouldn't be in this state now, wouldn't be so close to your own daughter, yet afraid to acknowledge her. Li Mengying, tell me, why is that?"

Li Mengying shivered. Li Feng on the other side of the screen was looking up at her. The two looked at each other through the camera, their eyes filled with tears, and they tried to hold them back.

"Fei Li, have you forgotten this face? The face of the murderer who killed your parents..."

Han Zhen had no appetite for tea or food; he paced back and forth in the room, his brow furrowed. Bai Xin sat at the table, rubbing his temples and shaking his head. Han Zhen kept checking his watch, his right hand reaching into his pocket for a cigarette, then hesitating before putting it back in.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, everything is OK." After a long wait, Dongfang Lin pushed open the door to the lounge. The two of them said almost at the same time, "What's the result?" Dongfang Lin pointed to the computer on the table with her chin, "Not only the communication system, but the entire surveillance system can also be accessed at any time, but only with the other party's consent."

"The other party's consent? Isn't this a waste of time? How could the other party possibly agree?"

"No, they'll agree. Judging from their focus on us, they're clearly targeting us. Besides, when I logged into their communication system, they sent me a message by default..."

"What did you say?"

Dongfang Lin zoomed in on the computer screen, and a greeting came into view.

"Welcome to Mr. Dongguo's home."
