Chapter 156: Mysterious Email! Lin Xu's Shock!

As soon as Chen Zijin finished speaking, the three experts present quickly realized the gravity of the situation, all of them furrowing their brows and falling into deep thought!

If everything was truly as he said, the explosive nature of this secret must be beyond imagination!

Otherwise, the authorities would never have taken such extreme measures!

Thinking of this, Zhu Guowei pondered again and said:

"What kind of secret could it be that would make them so desperate, even willing to abandon the hostages just to launch a forced assault?"

Chen Zijin let out a long breath, shook his head, and said:

"I don't know yet. But I feel it must be related to this operation of his. As far as I know, the total savings and gold reserves of the Swiss National Bank are not high; they cannot compare to some well-known commercial banks at all, and they are at the bottom of the entire UBS Group. Yet, he specifically chose this bank..."

"Based on my understanding of Chu Chen, he is definitely not going after that money; there must be another motive behind this."

After Chen Zijin finished speaking, Zhu Guowei at his side nodded like a pounding pestle: "Hmm, that makes sense."

"The key to unlocking all of this might just be inside this bank," Chen Zijin added immediately after.

"What kind of secret could a bank have? Could it be a national secret?" After the two finished speaking, Wang Ruomei speculated.

The next second, Liu Xuemin, who had not spoken for a long time, interrupted them:

"That is indeed possible, but looking at the current situation, it shouldn't be as simple as a national secret. Chu Chen must have touched upon some kind of taboo of the authorities..."

Seeing that Liu Xuemin had spoken, Wang Ruomei continued to ask: "Then what should we do now?"

"Sigh, things have developed to this point, and it is no longer something we can control. All we can do is wait and see..."

After Liu Xuemin finished speaking, the atmosphere in the Command Room turned cold once again.

Looking at the satellite surveillance footage transmitted back on the large screen, the expressions on everyone's faces were very complex!

Just then, Lin Xu from next door suddenly ran over, panting: "I know what he is going to do!"

A single sentence instantly disrupted the atmosphere of the Command Room!

Upon hearing this, the four experts immediately snapped back to reality. After exchanging glances, they hurriedly got up and followed Lin Xu all the way to his computer.

"Lin, what's the situation?"

After arriving, Liu Xuemin immediately leaned over and asked.

Lin Xu did not answer; he casually typed a line of code!

The next second, a video chat box suddenly popped up.

Due to the lighting, the video image was very blurry, but one could vaguely see it was a room.

In the center of the room sat a computer desk.

Six computer monitors were lined up in a row on it!

"Clack, clack, clack, clack, clack—!"

At this very moment, a man wearing a red robe was sitting in front of the computer, typing away on the keyboard!

His fingers were very slender.

Every keystroke was exceptionally crisp and decisive, without the slightest bit of hesitation!

Because he was wearing the hood of his garment, most of his face was buried in darkness, giving people a very mysterious feeling!

Right now, the computer screen in front of him was filled with all sorts of obscure and difficult-to-understand code, dense and packed, just like a heavenly book!

"Is this Chu Chen?"

Looking at this inexplicable video, Wang Ruomei, who was standing on the far left, asked.

Lin Xu did not answer her, signaling for her to keep watching.

Soon, after a segment of code was finished, the man in red stood up directly and walked to the blackboard behind him.

He stared at the dense maps, text, and photos on it, lost in thought!

Through these photos on the blackboard, the four experts suddenly seemed to realize something, and their furrowed brows instantly relaxed!

What was listed here was the entire criminal plan for Chu Chen's robbery of the Swiss National Bank!

After pausing in front of the blackboard for a while, Chu Chen walked slowly to the side, finally stopping in front of an old-fashioned projector, and reached out to press the power button on it.

"Zzzzz—!"

Accompanied by the buzzing sound of electricity, the projector turned on in response!

Immediately after, a beam of white light hit the screen hanging on the opposite wall.

About three seconds later, the image began to appear!

The content of the film was not complicated!

To put it plainly, it was a documentary.

The content recorded was the entire process of the German army building an underground vault 50 meters beneath the Swiss National Bank during World War II!

Although the film did not explain the purpose of this vault, seeing this, the four experts already knew it in their hearts!

And as of today, they finally understood why Chu Chen had chosen the seemingly unremarkable Swiss Bank as his criminal target!

"So, his true purpose in robbing this bank was for that Nazi Gold?" After the video ended, Wang Ruomei said slowly.

"Rumors of Nazi Gold have never ceased since World War II. I really didn't expect that the treasure people have been searching for so hard was actually hidden beneath the Swiss National Bank? How did he know about these things?" Zhu Guowei said.

While the two were talking, Liu Xuemin asked Lin Xu: "Where did this video come from?"

"It was sent by an anonymous account," Lin Xu replied indifferently.

"An anonymous account? Is it Chu Chen?"

Hearing this, Lin Xu nodded:

"If nothing goes wrong, it should be him. Looking at the email's transmission chain, it was mostly likely sent on a timer, and the SMTP used was also set up temporarily. After the email was sent, it automatically initiated a destruction program to clear away any remaining traces."

"My mailbox has anti-tracking software, but because this guy found a hidden vulnerability, the anti-tracking software didn't successfully take effect. By the time the vulnerability was patched, its self-destruct program had already started, giving me no chance to fight back at all..."

"This guy is really amazing..."

Having said this, the tone of this genius hacker youth fluctuated somewhat:

"I can tell you all very responsibly that his hacking skills are far above mine..."

"Before receiving this email, I had been tracking his whereabouts on the dark web, but from beginning to end, I never discovered him having any contact with any underground hacker groups; in other words, all of this is very likely the work of him alone!"

"For one person to be able to complete such a complex and precise intrusion and deployment, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I truly wouldn't dare to believe it!"

Lin Xu did not continue speaking.

At this moment, not only him, but the other four experts were all stunned on the spot!

Although Lin Xu was not old, his hacking skills had reached a profound level of attainment.

Even on an international level, he could absolutely be called a top-tier expert!

In the world today, the hackers who could surpass him could be counted on one hand.

For so many years, Lin Xu himself had always considered himself as such!

But today, when seeing Chu Chen's skills, he finally understood what it meant that there is always someone better, and there is always a heaven beyond the heaven!

What a true expert really is!

In front of Chu Chen, those hacking skills he was so proud of were simply not worth mentioning!

And as for being a so-called "genius," that was even further out of the question!
