Chapter 124: Don't Forget, You Locked Her Up for Three Days and Three Nights!

2:00 AM, a luxury hotel in XX State, USA.

Buzz, buzz, buzz—

The phone on the bedside table vibrated without warning. After a while, a man's large, bony hand picked up the phone and pressed the answer button.

"Hello, President Shi, it's bad, the company is under a hacker attack!"

Shi Heng narrowed his sleepy eyes, looked at the time on the phone, and then said in a voice suppressing anger:

"If hackers attack, go find the technical department to solve it. What's the big deal, don't you know it's the middle of the night in the US!"

Sun Mishu's voice on the phone was anxious and flustered.

"President Shi, I am in the technical department now! This hacker is different from the past, it's truly an emergency, that's why I had to contact you! Just now, all 100+ firewalls of the company's backend were breached within half an hour! Now, all platform products are paralyzed and can't be opened at all. The customer complaint lines have been blown up, and there are media reporters blocking the outside, waiting for a live report!"

Shi Heng woke up from his half-asleep state instantly.

However, as the president and helmsman of a large company, he didn't lose his composure in a panic, but commanded calmly:

"Activate the emergency plan first to minimize losses."

"Yes."

"Investigate what exactly is going on? What is the hacker's background?! What is his purpose?"

As a leading large-model company in China, the Shi Group had almost the most advanced data security defense technology in China. Shi Heng didn't believe that someone could breach all their firewalls in such a short time.

"According to the technical department's judgment, this hacker is in the country, and to be able to cause such large-scale damage, it is very likely... to have a military background... Currently, it is unclear what his purpose is."

"Military background?!"

Shi Heng's heart tightened suddenly.

As a private enterprise, the Shi Group had always been cautious and law-abiding for many years, deeply cultivating its own market. It would rather miss out on huge profits than sit crookedly in any way. How could it provoke forces with a military background?

Could it be...

In his mind, a face with sharp, heroic, and cold features suddenly appeared.

Just then, another anxious shout from Sun Mishu came over the phone:

"President Shi, there is the latest situation in the backend! A line of text appeared on the screen, it seems to be sent by the hacker..."

"Make a video call to me."

Shi Heng hung up the phone decisively, and soon, Xiao Sun made the video call. In the video, the scene inside the technical department office of the Shi Group appeared. At this moment, the office was crowded with people, everyone was overwhelmed, a scene of chaos.

Immediately after, the phone camera was aimed at the large electronic screen hanging on the wall. The screen was pitch black, and a line of small white text appeared in the middle of the screen.

"10 hours later, No. 4, Lane 7, Linjiang Road, Binhai District, Lanwan City."

"President Shi, it's a time and an address! What does it mean? Should we call the police?!"

Shi Heng's brows furrowed tightly, but he immediately understood the hacker's meaning—he was issuing an invitation to meet, and at the same time, a threat.

In this situation, did he have any other choice?!

He gritted his teeth, his gaze stern as he said:

"Don't call the police yet, I'm returning to the country immediately."

9 hours later, Shi Heng's private jet landed on the internal tarmac of the Shi Group.

The hacker clearly knew his itinerary in advance, so he deliberately set the time at 10 hours later, so that Shi Heng would have to rush without a moment's rest.

Soon, Shi Heng changed to his Maybach and sped toward Linjiang Road in Binhai District.

50 minutes later, the Maybach finally stopped at the designated location.

Shi Heng got out of the car and looked up at the building in front of him with some surprise—this was actually a cinema!

The cinema was not large and looked very old. The red and green light sign at the entrance read "Linjiang Cinema." It was already 10:00 PM, there wasn't a single person in the cinema hall, even the front desk was empty. A row of red railings was placed at the entrance of the cinema, and the atmosphere was eerie and strange.

However, Shi Heng was a grown man and wasn't afraid of anything.

At worst, he would meet force with force!

He took a long stride and walked in easily.

There were only four screening halls in the cinema. He pushed the doors one by one, and only pushed open the door to the fourth hall.

This was a very small screening hall with only 8 rows of seats, the space narrow and enclosed. The room was dark, and there wasn't a single person inside.

"Is anyone there? Come out!"

"Is there anyone at all?!"

Shi Heng shouted at the top of his lungs, but didn't get any response. He turned and walked toward the cinema door, but as soon as his hand touched the door panel, his heart "thumped."

Damn, the door outside had been locked with a large iron lock!

"Despicable villain! Who the hell are you?!"

"Open the door for me!"

Shi Heng kicked the door hard, but only heard the clatter of chains, and a sharp pain came from the sole of his foot, but the door didn't move at all.

Shi Heng quickly took out his phone, only to find there was no signal at all.

"Damn, playing dirty with me, huh?!"

"Come on, if you have the ability, kill me!"

"Who the hell are you? Open the door! If you have something to say, say it openly!"

Shi Heng roared hysterically like a madman, hitting the door, but the only response was the clanging of the door and his own echo.

After a violent struggle, the air finally quieted down.

Everything was pitch black, and a huge fear suddenly gripped his heart like an invisible hand...

Ever since he had a heart attack at the Qin family's banquet three months ago after seeing Xiao Yi, Shi Heng's heart had developed a root cause, and he would have palpitations and heart pain from time to time.

The doctor said his heart had no organic lesions.

It should just be caused by depressed mood and stagnant qi.

At this moment, he had rushed for 10 hours without eating or resting, and he felt even more suffocated in his chest, making it difficult to breathe...

Shi Heng slumped into his seat, clutching his chest, breathing with difficulty...

Tick, tick.

Time passed second by second.

The screening hall was so quiet that a pin drop could be heard. Shi Heng only felt the air getting thinner and thinner, unable to breathe, and even felt he might die here...

He didn't know how long it had been, but finally, the sound of "ding-dang" rang out from outside, and someone had opened the iron lock!

A faint light shot in through the crack in the door.

Immediately after, step—step—step—

The sound of leather shoes stepping on the carpet approached from far to near, and a cold and biting voice rang out.

"Heh, you couldn't even last three hours?"

"Don't forget, your Shi family once locked Xing'er in a dark room for three whole days and three nights!" ===== CHAPTER 125 =====
