Chapter 3166: Do not mention the matter of the medicinal pills

Seeing Ye Chen and Li Yalin constantly speaking in riddles, An Kaifeng stomped his feet in anxiety on the spot.

Fearing that others might notice the four of them whispering, he lowered his voice as much as possible and asked very urgently, "What on earth are you two talking about? Hurry up and share it with me. I have a short temper and can't stand even a little bit of suspense."

Li Yalin then said with a smile, "Miss Lin came up with a brilliant idea: to buy up all the companies in the world that operate vending machines, and then upload their surveillance footage data to the AI model's server. This way, we can achieve surveillance of large transportation hubs worldwide, such as airports, train stations, and docks. Then, we let the AI continuously analyze the video data generated by these surveillance feeds to find the person we are looking for. In this way, as soon as our target travels, they will be captured by us, and we will know their location and where they are going next."

"My god..." An Kaifeng exclaimed, "I didn't expect Miss Lin to have such a sharp eye at such a young age to be able to think of this!"

As he spoke, he immediately promised, "Don't worry, leave this matter to me. I will set up dozens of shell companies and buy up as many relevant companies around the world as possible."

Ye Chen said, "Second Uncle, you don't need to do this yourself. I have a general plan in mind. Try to have people who appear to have no connection to the Ye family or the An family operate this matter to avoid being detected. If all the vending machine companies in the world were secretly bought by the An family's white gloves, the outside world would definitely analyze why the An family is interested in this kind of business. So, it's better not to have any direct connection."

An Kaifeng nodded and said, "Since you have already thought of the candidates, I won't interfere."

At this moment, Ye Chen had already begun to look forward to the application of this AI model after its delivery. Li Yalin wanted to use it to screen enterprises worldwide to determine which one was most likely the base of the Poqing Society, while Lin Wan'er wanted to use it to achieve global hub facial recognition.

The last time Wu Feiyan came to China, she had unknowingly left behind her facial information with Ye Chen and Lin Wan'er. Although the pixel count was not high, the AI could be tasked with restoration, continuing until the two people who had seen Wu Feiyan felt it was accurate. Once the "Earth Net" system was set up and the AI memorized Wu Feiyan's appearance, she would definitely be exposed as soon as she dared to come out in the future.

Currently, Ye Chen's strength was still far from Wu Feiyan's. Knowing her movements, while he couldn't hunt her down, he could at least avoid her. Moreover, every place Wu Feiyan had been, except for Lin Zhulu's tomb in Diannan and the Ten Thousand Mountains, must be related to the Poqing Society. Although Ye Chen dared not chase her to fight, he dared to wait for her to leave and then chase her underlings. In the future, Wu Feiyan had best not go to inspect the work under her Five Armies Governor's Office; otherwise, for every one she visited, Ye Chen could follow behind and wipe them out. Combined with Li Yalin's criminal investigation methods, using both approaches, he could gradually pull out Wu Feiyan's claws one by one.

Meanwhile, the actual technical personnel were conducting joint tests with the builders of the AI model.

Howard was a pure businessman. He didn't understand technology, nor did he care to study it. In his view, a leader who plans strategies doesn't need to, nor is it worth it to, master any so-called technology, because all technology can be handled by professionals. What he needed to be proficient in was how to discern the situation, discover opportunities, formulate strategies, and control the overall situation.

Therefore, he came to Helena's side and said with a flattering smile, "Your Majesty the Queen, the environment here is noisy and the temperature is relatively high. In my opinion, why don't we go to the office building to rest? I also have some matters I would like to discuss in detail with Your Majesty."

Helena knew what Howard was calculating. All his thoughts were on the medicinal pills. Now that the massive data center and the AI model had been handed over, he must be thinking about getting the pills as soon as possible.

Therefore, Helena followed Ye Chen's instructions and said, "Mr. Rothschild, I know you must be impatient to get the pills now, but I must remind you that the pills will only be available for purchase after the AI model delivery is completed. Currently, the teams on both sides are just doing the handover. After the handover, our technical staff still need to conduct trial runs and check for various vulnerabilities and backdoors to prevent you from doing anything in the process."

As she spoke, Helena added, "Of course, Mr. Rothschild, don't misunderstand my meaning. I am not doubting your character or business ethics, but the matter is of great importance. We must be 100% sure there are no problems before we can truly complete this transaction. So, I have to trouble Mr. Rothschild to be a little more patient. Once everything is confirmed, you will get what you wish for. During this waiting period, please calm your mind and enjoy the local customs and natural scenery of Northern Europe."

Upon hearing this, Howard knew he would definitely have to stay in Northern Europe for a few days, so he could only accompany her with a smile and say, "Your Majesty the Queen is absolutely right. Since that is the case, I will wait patiently in Northern Europe. Your Majesty can summon me at any time."

Helena nodded and said, "Mr. Rothschild has come from afar. I have prepared a banquet at the palace today. Mr. Rothschild, if you have time this evening, please come to the palace for the banquet."

Hearing Helena invite him to the palace for a banquet, Howard felt much happier instantly. If it were in the past, he would have looked down on a fallen noble like Helena, but now it was different. Helena was his benefactor who gave him a second life. Being invited to dinner by a benefactor was naturally an honor.

So he said without hesitation, "Thank you for the invitation, Your Majesty. I will definitely arrive at the palace for the banquet on time!"

Helena nodded slightly and asked him, "By the way, Mr. Rothschild, I wonder if you brought your family with you on this trip to Northern Europe? If so, please invite them to come along as well."

Howard hesitated for a moment.

On this trip to Northern Europe, he had brought his eldest son, Steve Rothschild. This was not because Steve had requested it, but because he had demanded it.

The older Howard got, the more he feared being betrayed by his relatives, especially by his own son.

The lessons from the Fei family were right there: the old master went abroad, leaving the heir in the country, which just happened to give the heir a chance to seize power.

Therefore, he didn't dare to leave Steve alone in the United States. If Steve were to buy off others behind his back and find an opportunity to sideline him, he might not be able to go back.

He brought Steve along this time, ostensibly saying it was more reassuring to have his help, but in reality, he wanted to keep him by his side to avoid any trouble.

It just so happened that Steve also wanted to come along to see what kind of cooperation Ye Chen had with his old man that made him so obsessed. He guessed that the old man was doing this for Ye Chen's magical pills. So he thought, if the old man really got the pills on this trip to Northern Europe, although he couldn't change anything, he had to take the opportunity to vent his grievances to Ye Chen.

When he first heard Helena's invitation, Howard intended to go to the palace banquet alone. But upon hearing that Helena also wanted to invite his family, he didn't know for a moment whether he should bring Steve along.

If he brought him, and he found out that he was planning to live a few more years and postpone the day he would inherit the family, the father and son would definitely be awkward. Moreover, once he revealed this intention, his son would get a message: that he would definitely do everything possible to extend his life, which would make his son feel even more desperate.

But if he didn't bring him, and Helena found out that his son had also come to Northern Europe, she would definitely think he was not very honest.

After thinking it over, he tentatively said to Helena, "Your Majesty, my eldest son has also come to Northern Europe this time. I will bring him along to the palace banquet tonight. However, Your Majesty, since the AI model acceptance still needs time, can we not mention the matter of the medicinal pills at the banquet tonight?"

"No problem." Helena agreed readily and smiled, "It would be best if, from now until the acceptance is finished, neither of us mentions the medicinal pills again. To be honest, Mr. Rothschild, you just don't want me to mention it at the banquet, but I don't want to mention it at any time before the delivery."

Howard knew that Helena said this because she thought he was asking too frequently, so he quickly said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, before the acceptance is completed, I will absolutely not mention anything related to the medicinal pills again!"
