Chapter 451: Do You Want to Die?!
"Boss, I’ve only got a vague lead from my end," Max Dorrell reported the information he’d gathered to Boss Li Zerui as he spoke, "I only know his name is Lin Feng, a French teacher at Tianhai Yingbo University. The specifics are still unclear to me." With two top-tier martial artists from the Li Family already dead, the Boss would surely take action against this man.
"What! Lin Feng! Are you sure it’s the Lin Feng from Yingbo University?" Li Zerui was stunned at Max Dorrell’s words and instantly enraged! He never imagined it could be Lin Feng. How could it be such a coincidence? How could Lin Feng be someone close to Chu Meng? This Lin Feng seemed to be connected to everything; was this even possible?
Li Zerui simply couldn’t believe in such coincidences, so he asked Old Four, Max Dorrell, to confirm. If Old Four was telling the truth, they would have to call off the attack immediately, for Lin Feng was very likely an S-level master. During this time, Li Zerui had been considering the possibilities. At first, he thought that Uncle Li was killed by Lin Feng’s master, but the more he thought about it, the less likely it seemed. Considering that Lin Feng had managed to overpower him—an AAA-level peak master—without resistance, Li Zerui concluded that Lin Feng could be an S-level master!
"Boss, this should be correct," Max Dorrell reassured, "Jack’s findings have never been wrong. What’s the matter, Boss? What about Lin Feng?" Max Dorrell was puzzled by the sudden rise in the Boss’s voice. Could the Boss know Lin Feng?
"Old Four, stop everything immediately. Lin Feng is not someone you can handle. He’s very likely an S-level master, and Uncle Li, whom I brought with me to Tianhai, was probably killed by Lin Feng! Do you hear me? Danger! Stop immediately, and don’t let Lin Feng find you!"
Li Zerui was instantly anxious upon hearing Max Dorrell and shouted into the phone, ordering Old Four to withdraw. If they drew the attention of a superb master like Lin Feng, Old Four and his team would be in grave danger. Most importantly, no one was a match for Lin Feng, and Zerui himself was under house arrest. If Old Four didn’t back off, the risk of being exposed was high; if Lin Feng found out anything, they wouldn’t even know how they died!
"What! S... Uncle Li, an S-level master... killed by Lin Feng! Bos... Boss, I know what to do!" Max Dorrell was sweating cold beads of fear, his speech slurred. How could an S-level master die... could it mean Lin Feng was... beyond an S-level powerhouse, God Almighty!
Now, Max Dorrell was utterly horrified, never in his wildest dreams had he considered that someone close to Chu Meng could be an S-level supreme master. He vividly remembered the Boss telling him that Uncle Li could easily demolish skyscrapers with his bare hands!
At this thought, sweat drenched Max Dorrell’s clothes. In front of such a supreme master, no one could survive, especially not a mere mortal like him. If Lin Feng discovered the truth, he would die without knowing how, just as the Boss had said!
"B... Boss, I’ll arrange it right away!" After finishing, Max Dorrell immediately hung up the phone, his face stricken with panic as he looked at Jack in front of him, hoping against hope he had just heard wrong. How could Chu Meng possibly have someone as formidable as Lin Feng...
"Jack, are you absolutely certain that the person with Chu Meng is Lin Feng from Tianhai Yingbo University?" Max Dorrell asked Jack for confirmation once more, desperately wishing for a mistake, though he knew it was unlikely. He simply couldn’t accept the fact that Chu Meng had an S-level master by her side!
"Boss, we can confirm it almost for sure," Jack recalled the details of the photographs they received, "because every piece of information we could gather indicates that when Chu Meng returned to Tianhai, this young man appeared by her side. It seems they have a good relationship as she was seen hooking her arm in his." Jack detailed the situation to Max Dorrell without understanding why his boss suddenly looked so terrified. What on earth had happened?
"Wh... what!"
Upon Jack’s affirmative response, Max Dorrell slumped into his chair, utterly defeated. He had never expected Chu Meng to have an S-level master in her company! Had he known about Chu Meng’s trump card, he would never have tried to harm her; it was akin to courting death!
But Max Dorrell knew that fear was futile now. All he could do was try to find a remedy; to sever all connections was the only way to prevent Lin Feng from tracing back to him!
Max Dorrell forced himself to calmly analyze the situation while driving back the panic. According to Boss Li Zerui, if Lin Feng was prepared in advance, he could easily use True Qi to prevent breathing in H2. In other words, Lin Feng was already suspicious of Jack’s men; he spared them intentionally, probably hoping to trace them back to their source. And for a master of that caliber, tracking a person would be effortless.
It was highly likely that Lin Feng had already found Jack’s contact, but even so, the contact couldn’t lead back to him. Jack had told him that all his subordinates and informants had been recruited online and had never met him in person. What’s more, the computer they used to communicate had been tampered with by advanced hackers and was extremely secure.
Wait a minute! Hackers!
Suddenly, Max Dorrell thought of the hacker issue. The Cloud Management System was hacked, and it had been proven to be the meddling of Chu Meng’s super account. If... if the Lin Feng Jack spoke of was the same super hacker who had helped Chu Meng destroy the Cloud System, and if Lin Feng traced through the contact’s computer back to Jack’s computer, wouldn’t all their actions be exposed...
God! It could be true, it really could be so!
An expert martial artist combined with a super hacker, these two identities put together meant that once he targeted someone, no one could escape. The only course of action now was to immediately cut off the connection with Jack; otherwise, a major disaster would unfold.
Jack’s computer contained many things that Max Dorrell found inconvenient to handle. If these matters were to leak, it would almost certainly lead back to Max Dorrell, and to the numerous details regarding the previous move against Cloud Fund. Should that happen, it would spell doom!
Thinking of this, cold sweat poured down Max Dorrell’s back like rain, and he immediately bellowed at Jack.
"Hurry up, cut off that link immediately for me. If you’re even slightly slow, a disaster will occur. And if things go wrong, it could cost us our lives! Do you f****** understand? Lin Feng is very likely an S-class expert and even more likely a super hacker. Do you know what that means? It means that right now, Lin Feng could have used the computer to find out about our identities. If our identities are exposed, we won’t even know how we died! Hurry up! Do you want to die?"
Max Dorrell was now ferociously yelling at Jack. If things turned out as he feared, the consequences would be unthinkable. Max Dorrell was terrified of being targeted by an expert like Lin Feng. Being a regular person, facing an S-class expert would be a fate worse than death; any bodyguard would be as useless as paper before such a person!
Fear consumed Max Dorrell. If Jack was too slow, what would he do? Escape was not an option...
"..." Stunned by Max Dorrell’s sudden outburst, Jack hesitated for a moment before he realized why the boss had been acting that way just now. The realization dawned on him... Lin Feng, the man next to Chu Meng, turned out to be an S-class expert. No wonder the boss was so frightened. If Lin Feng hacked into their computer, how many people would die...
At that thought, Jack’s head was instantly drenched in cold sweat, and his clothes became soaked through in an instant. He hurriedly got up and dashed towards the office door, sprinting back to his hidden workspace with the speed of a hundred-meter dash, his hands frantically searching for a crucial phone number on a large whiteboard.
To avoid external eavesdropping or information leaks, Jack had set up a computer for every contact, telling them it was equipped with anti-hacking software and that they must use that computer. However, a special chip was installed in each computer. If a designated phone call was made to a specific number, it would trigger a super bomb hidden at the power supply within the computer case, powerful enough to destroy everything within a 100 square meter radius.
Quick... where is it, hurry!
There it is!
After finding the needed number, Jack immediately dialed it with a satellite phone on the table...
...
...
When Lin Feng was downstairs just now, he first used a special method to locate Ma Ming’s computer IP address upstairs. But then, when he tried to hack into the upstairs computer, something strange happened — unexpectedly coming across a professional-grade firewall, adeptly set up by a professional hacker, which wasted much of Lin Feng’s time before he could finally breach the computer’s defenses.
Lin Feng, at that moment downstairs, looked up at the still-lit windows above and a smile crept onto his lips. He had finally gained entry! Now he could find out who was pulling the strings. To eliminate future trouble, he had to uproot the source. With this access, he could learn everything he wanted to know from the opponent’s computer, which made Lin Feng rub his hands together in glee.
But the moment Lin Feng’s fingers touched the keyboard, disaster struck!
"Boom!"
"Bang!"
The room upstairs erupted in a violent explosion, shattering the windows as the blast wave turned them to fragments, flinging broken glass far and wide. Even the ground seemed to shake, and the deafening sound echoed loudly in the night, carrying far into the distance...
