Protagonist:

Chen Yi

Chen Heng's mobile phone was unreachable; I called the Military Region, and they said he'd gone out on a field exercise.

Chen Yi immediately hung up, his finger hovering over his old man's number, then froze again.

"Worried about scaring your old man?" Liu Xinyu guessed, seeing him hesitate.

Chen Yi gave a muffled "Mm," the car speeding along.

For this kind of race-against-time matter, Liu Xinyu had considerable experience; she asked in a guiding tone: "If something happened to your little sister, could your old man solve it?"

Chen Yi understood her meaning, hands gripping the steering wheel: "Solve it personally? He can't. But he has a wide network of contacts; he can find help."

"What kind of help would he find?"

Chen Yi was stunned for a moment, then said: "I'm not too clear on that."

"How about Zhu Guangliang?"

"You've still got some brains." He reacted instantly, found Zhu Guangliang's phone number, dialed, and forced a laugh: "Brother Zhu, this is Chen Yi. The hundred-meg fiber was installed by you. It works so well I feel I should thank you."

Zhu Guangliang glanced at the Supervision and Administration Division Director before him and said in a low voice: "No need to be so polite. Another day, another day I'll treat you."

"No, I must be the one to treat. Where are you? I'll come pick you up right now." Chen Yi didn't want to discuss this over the phone; who knew what state Zhu Guangliang was in at the moment.

To tell the truth, Zhu Guangliang's state right now was indeed not good.

Although his title of Deputy Director of the Supervision and Administration Division was merely a cover identity, a superior was still a superior; a whole group was in a meeting, so how could he leave?

"This, Mr. Chen..."

"Where?" Chen Yi's tone sharpened.

Zhu Guangliang, who prided himself on being a man of depth and composure, calmed his mind, sensed the other's tone was abnormal, and answered honestly: "In the office, Binjiang 288."

A "wuu wuu" busy tone came from the mobile phone.

【23】 A "wuu wuu" busy tone came from the mobile phone.

Zhu Guangliang cursed the Aristocratic Scion in his heart while smiling at the Leader: "Excuse me, I have some matters to handle."

The Director had been notified in advance and knew his position; he nodded, then continued addressing the others: "For this reception of Central Leaders, our Supervision and Administration Division must shoulder the responsibility. In summary, three points: first, guarantee communications remain unobstructed, cannot..."

Zhu Guangliang slipped out half-stealthily.

The other Deputy Directors lowered their heads enviously; the 58-year-old Director was the second most terrifying animal in the world, his whole body radiating the light of nagging — he was the Victorious Fighting Nagging Buddha. The most terrifying was of course his wife, but this animal's appearance times could at least be referenced...

The Raptor sped like the wind and lightning.

The automobile the Little Lizard transformed into possessed a structure and functions completely identical to it; when the Illusion Dragon's ability was higher than the transformed object's, certain aspects even surpassed it.

Chen Yi stomped on the accelerator with all his might; the Raptor almost instantly accelerated to 140 kilometers per hour.

In the city, this counted as assassin-level speed.

Even a scrape could cause a major traffic accident.

But Chen Yi didn't care about any of that, just kept urging the Little Lizard to add more power.

A summoned pet can sense its master's joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness; the Illusion Dragon could only sing at the top of its lungs "Apollo, toward the sun, charge, charge" while desperately increasing the cylinder pressure.

To avoid being killed by the novice driver Chen Yi, the Little Lizard also had to strive to increase the mechanical response speed. He kept saying: "A loss, a loss, another 10 kilograms of mercury, I've lost weight."

Chen Yi ignored it completely; in 10 minutes he raced 20 kilometers, and amid the smell of violently braking tires, appeared before the Municipal Government gates.

The Armed Police on guard vigilantly raised their guns.

Chen Yi, panting heavily, waved his hand and fished out his mobile phone to dial Zhu Guangliang.

Deputy Director Zhu soon ran out, his clothing neat and tidy.

"I have a matter I require you to handle." Chen Yi grabbed Zhu Guangliang with one hand.

"I knew it..." he replied, but seeing Chen Yi's solemn expression, he could only turn serious himself: "Go ahead."

Chen Yi exhaled, and suddenly his throat felt a bit blocked.

Liu Xinyu stepped down from the car, her body swaying gracefully.

Before Zhu Guangliang could get distracted, Chen Yi adjusted his mood, gripped his hand, and said: "My little sister may have been kidnapped."

Speaking these words, he suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness — the relaxation after tension, or perhaps a passive relaxation.

The same words, but Zhu Guangliang's expression changed instantly; he patted Chen Yi's hand hard, took out his phone, dialing while asking: "How long has it been?"

"Two hours, at most." Chen Yi looked at his watch, not entirely certain: "Last contact was by email."

"Was it her personally?"

"Yes, the last one was a yellow exclamation mark. I called back to their dormitory, and they said an outsider had come and asked her out." Chen Yi licked his lips, his whole body turning cold.

The Scroll, at a time like this, seemed unable to exert the slightest use.

Regardless of whether it's a kidnapping, this situation is abnormally terrifying.

Chen Yi constantly forced himself to calm down; his Pocket Qi unconsciously began to circulate.

Source Energy filled his body, causing the surrounding air to abruptly change.

"Your little sister, is she Old Chen's biological granddaughter?" Zhu Guangliang's voice seemed to come from the distant horizon.

"Yes." Chen Yi's thoughts were disrupted; the Source Energy stabilized, the wind sweeping toward the center finally stopped.

Liu Xinyu shivered, looking at Chen Yi with a magical gaze. She prided herself on keen senses and had detected the changes around her to some degree.

Zhu Guangliang said something into the phone, then hung up and said: "Does Old Chen know?"

"The old man has high blood pressure."

"Then that's two points." Zhu Guangliang's voice was low and deep, carrying a chill in the sunlight: "The person was lost in Jiangning. Two hours — she may not have left the city yet. I just contacted the higher-ups to set up checkpoints at all exits, deploy personnel at the train station and airport, first block the escape routes. Do you have a photo of her?"

Chen Yi fumbled through his notebook in a fluster; Liu Xinyu reached out, took it, and helped him search.

Zhu Guangliang watched him, licking his lips as he said: "Second point. You still need to notify your parents. If the kidnappers make any demands, you should have them consider carefully."

Chen Yi said dryly: "You do the first point first. As for the second point, I'll call my dad. If the kidnappers really want money, that's manageable."

As he spoke, he looked up the bank manager's phone number, and at the same time said: "Can you find me a security expert? Preferably someone good at hacking techniques with a solid foundation."

Zhu Guangliang looked at him doubtfully and said: "You need to tell me all the information you have. With enough data, I can make a judgment."

"Whatever you can know, you already know. Thanks for your trouble." Chen Yi wearily rubbed his head, then spoke in English to the Citibank manager: "Prepare 10 million US dollars and 50 million RMB for me. I'll come to withdraw it anytime."

In his view, his little sister's matter was most likely related to that virus, but it was still necessary to prepare some money. If you didn't notify the bank in advance about an amount of several million, by the time you arrived the vault might not have enough money, and at most they'd apologize—losing out would be your own problem.

Whoever could take down the Floating Mountain Game Platform was obviously no ordinary virus, worth taking a risk to commit a crime. But these things weren't worth telling Zhu Guangliang; if they knew, they might shift their investigative direction toward the virus instead of his little sister.

Zhu Guangliang understood English, raised an eyebrow, and also contacted his subordinates.

He was at the Ministry of Information Industry, knew people there, and after pulling some strings for a while, said: "There just happens to be a security expert in Jiangning. I'll take you to meet him. His clearance is quite high; he's a professor at Xijing University. Don't push him too hard."

Chen Yi grunted in acknowledgment, turned around, and got into the car.

All the way to the Jiangning Hotel in the city center, he met the security expert who was resting—he was a young man in his twenties, wearing pajamas, looking as if he had just woken up.

"Is it him?" Chen Yi no longer cared about so much, his hand in his backpack, ready to use the Skill Copy Scroll at any time.

Zhu Guangliang said affirmatively: "Yes, Xiao Liang is one of our most powerful security experts..."

He had only said half when he saw Chen Yi perform something like a ritual, standing behind Xiao Liang, muttering something under his breath.

A few minutes later, he sat down decisively at the seat, took out his notebook, one hand connecting the network cable, the other hand rubbing his temples.

The Level 4 Skill Copy Scroll—the best effect it could achieve was actually just the best effect of a Level 4 Scroll. If the skill being copied was lower level, there was naturally no problem; if the skill being copied was higher level, there would ultimately be a peak value.

But compared to Earth's development, the load its various skills placed on the brain had not yet reached the level of a Level 4 Scroll.

But this security expert's 160% skill level was already approaching the warning line.

Chen Yi didn't care that someone was watching; first he hammered away at the keyboard, opened the Floating Mountain Game Platform, and then, with the help of analysis tools, began stripping away the virus.

Xiao Liang watched, his forehead covered in sweat, grabbing Zhu Guangliang: "Captain Zhu, what's going on? Smashing up the place?"

"Sorry, I don't know either. Let's take a look first."

Zhu Guangliang was also on the phone contacting people, busy to the point of being unable to disentangle himself.

The security expert, wrapped in his pajamas, was in his own room with nowhere to hide, and could only look at Liu Xinyu and say: "Just what is going on?"

Liu Xinyu summarized the important parts and said: "He probably wants to find clues about his sister."

"Then what's cracking the virus for? Check the email first."

"Email!" Chen Yi slapped his forehead: "Worry makes you muddle-headed. You, this security expert, are no pushover. Let me check their email first—I remember it's Longzhou's email..."

Being praised in front of a beauty, Xiao Liang immediately grinned, showing his teeth, and said eagerly: "I remember there's a check password for their server inside the Ministry. Let me look for it."

"No need." Chen Yi said while speaking, and had already used the "Siren" to decode his little sister's password.

He now had 160% of a security expert's skill; his insight was a bit lacking, but it didn't stop him from using violent methods.

Xiao Liang stared dumbfounded and said: "What did you use to crack it? Longzhou's server is still quite tight..."

Chen Yi ignored him, quickly flipped through the emails, picked out one from two hours ago, and read it aloud: "2 PM, meet at Jianshe Road."

Zhu Guangliang stopped his phone call, stuck his head over, and said: "The time matches. I'll check the surveillance cameras there."

Xiao Liang was still puzzled: "Are you a newcomer from the Ministry? Younger than me, right? You memorized the password?"

"Just decoded it." Chen Yi answered impatiently.

"Decoded? How is that possible?"

Chen Yi's mobile phone rang again. He tossed Xiao Liang aside, immediately answered, and said: "Who is it?"

"Master, I was wrong, you..." Naked Bear said a couple of words, then the phone was snatched away by someone, who said smugly: "Brother Chen Yi, you think you can fight? Still taking disciples? Come to the waste dump in the north of the city, otherwise just wait to collect his corpse."

"Who are you?" Chen Yi said impatiently.

The day before yesterday, Naked Bear had been clamoring to become his disciple, but the person never came, and he hadn't taken it to heart. Who would have thought he'd been kidnapped by someone.

But using such a person to threaten him was obviously the height of stupidity.

The other side was stunned for a long time, then cursed: "Fuck, I, Ceng Yi, haven't gone in yet, and now I'm going to flay your skin..."

"Come to Jianshe Road." Chen Yi said and hung up the phone.
