Back to Chapter List
?Mobile reading After driving out of the underground parking garage, Gou Zihao didn't forget to call his team: "Everyone, evacuate immediately! Erase all data stored on the computers right away!" Chaos erupted in the basement. The person in charge of the main server suddenly pressed a red button, and within a single second, all computers linked to the server had their hard drives fully formatted. Clapping his hands, he strolled out of the office with a relaxed pace. By the time he stepped outside, everyone had already evacuated—such a swift retreat that it could easily qualify for a Guinness World Record. Beep... beep... He noticed several spots flashing red lights, and immediately exclaimed, "Good heavens! There's even a self-destruct mechanism! That's why everyone ran so fast—I better hide and get out of the way!" With a flash, he was gone. A few seconds later, the basement echoed with dull thuds as all office furniture was reduced to fragments. A thick pipe burst, releasing a surge of fresh water that soon completely submerged the area. The police on duty outside, monitoring the situation, were now in full disarray, scrambling to keep up while reporting updates to their superiors. He Muqing hurried to the command room. After listening to the report, she exclaimed in surprise, "What on earth is going on? How could it have been decided to withdraw so suddenly? Did the personnel responsible for surveillance get exposed? That doesn't make sense. Wait—could it be Qin's young man acting on his own? When he left here, he looked deeply concerned. I should have seen that coming!" As for calling Qin Feng—he could barely get through. He was lying on the grass in the small Ding space, enjoying the fresh air. Gong Zihao, who had been driving aimlessly around the city, finally exhaled a long breath after receiving the message from his team. He said into the phone, "All personnel are to remain in place, awaiting further instructions. We may have already come under police observation. From now on, everyone must do their utmost to break off any tracking, and only report to higher-ups once safety is confirmed!" Steering the car toward an unpopulated area, he successfully managed to shed off four tracking vehicles during the drive. Yet he didn't know that a dark figure drifted through the air, following his direction of movement. When Qin Feng reappeared before He Liding, he was being held by the collar, questioned sharply: "Who authorized you to act on your own? Now look—half the team has been lost. If they all leave, will you take responsibility?" "Director, please calm down," Qin Feng said with a cheerful smile. "Women often get upset, and if they do, they tend to age quickly." Hearing this, He Muqing didn't calm down—on the contrary, she grew even more furious: "It's all your fault! You've been bothering me all day. Would you have died if you hadn't acted on your own? Would you have died if you'd just consulted me? You're making me die right here!" "There are so many people here, so many voices. Let's find a quiet place where we can talk. I have the evidence you're looking for," he said mysteriously. He Liding's eyes lit up instantly, loosened his grip, and raised an eyebrow: "Then let's go to my office!" The two of them walked in one after the other into the office. Qin Feng casually closed and locked the door, citing the well-known saying: "There are ears on the other side of the wall—better safe than sorry." Heel leader sat down in the executive chair and sneered, "Where's the evidence? Let me be blunt—unless you present me with evidence I'm satisfied with, I won't let you off the hook!" She waved her hand, indicating that Gong Zihao's computer, phone, and several other electronic devices—along with the various items retrieved from the safe, except for the equity certificates—had all been taken over by Qin, the young magnate. "So many," she said, her eyes shining. To her, this was a mountain of evidence. As she reached out to press the power button on the computer, Qin Feng reminded her, "Better not do that—there's likely an automatic data-erasure program running inside. It would be better to have a computer expert handle it." "You're absolutely right," she replied, immediately arranging to summon top computer specialists from the criminal investigation unit to thoroughly investigate Gong Zihao. "She rarely praised Qin Feng, but this time she said: 'You've done well. However, Gong Zi Hao's entire team has vanished without a trace—how can we even arrest them if we have evidence?' 'Can he really disappear?' Qin Feng replied with a cheerful smile. 'If my brother could find him once, he can surely find him again. How could the leadership lack confidence in me?' He suddenly thought of Isabella, who had been as elusive as a dragon seen only in glimpses, and instantly shifted from concern to joy, smiling warmly. 'Of course I believe in you. As soon as I hear anything, I'll be informed. Let's move quickly and take action!' Qin Feng nodded, but didn't seem ready to leave. The leader was momentarily taken aback. 'Is there anything else? Just say what you need, we don't have to be formal!' 'Heh, then I won't waste any more time being formal with you,' he said, pointing to his face with a mischievous smile. 'After all, I've resolved such a major issue for you—shouldn't I receive some recognition?' "Leader, I couldn't quite grasp your point. With a look of confusion, I asked, 'What reward are you referring to? Once we take down the entire faction, your contribution will surely be recognized—plus your role in recovering the Seal of Jade. That alone might be enough for you to advance one level!' 'You can't mix the rewards from above with what Leader Hu is offering, can you?' He gestured to his own face, smiling even wider. 'The rewards given by a leader truly inspire employees at the core. How can you doubt that? If you're not convinced, let's try it—after all, you're not losing anything!' He Mengqing jumped up, exclaiming: "You're just so dull... Hmm..." Qin Feng suddenly stood up, wrapping his arm around her neck and kissing her lips. You've already called me dull—then I won't be any more polite. I've given so much already; shouldn't there be some return? If you're not willing to offer, I'll take it myself—doubled, even—otherwise, I'll end up losing even more. Without realizing it, He Mengqing struggled a few times, but soon found herself unable to escape the wolf's kiss, and thus simply accepted it.
