Chapter 356: Have a Good Dream
Chapter 356: Have a Good Dream
Jenny was successfully scared by Xu Xiangbei’s prank and couldn’t help but laugh: "You jerk, you did that on purpose to scare me."
Xu Xiangbei laughed heartily: "Ha, did you think I wasn’t wearing anything? The first time I met you, you only wore underwear when you got into my car. Turns out you’re just a little lamb in wolf’s clothing, tough on the outside but shy inside."
Before leaving the Purple Gold Villa, Jenny told Xu Xiangbei: "Lei Ziming is going to Yanjing tomorrow to attend a game exhibition. Be careful, who knows how many traps he’s set up in the office."
Xu Xiangbei smiled confidently: "Don’t worry, I’m not Zuo Mu, I won’t fall for it so easily."
Lei Ziming’s hacking skills are considered top-notch, and the security system he designed is like a Copper Wall. But when it comes to hacking, Liu Ningyan is a bit superior to Lei Ziming.
Back in the bedroom, Xu Xiangbei called Liu Ningyan to tell her what happened today.
Liu Ningyan’s voice was filled with indignation over the phone, and she was very surprised: "I can’t believe Lei Ziming turned out to be this kind of person? Oh my God, if I had known he was like this, we shouldn’t have collaborated with him on our ’Ancient Moon Red Dust’ game."
Xu Xiangbei said helplessly: "Our game isn’t a collaboration with him, we’re collaborating with the Thunderbird Group. Business is business, and character is character, we can’t mix them up. Do you have a way to crack his security system and find his secret room?"
Liu Ningyan’s voice was gentle and pleasant: "Of course, I do. I’m Huaxia’s number one female hacker. I’ll definitely help you get back at him and destroy that security system."
Xu Xiangbei became excited: "I knew you’d have a way. So what should we do?"
Liu Ningyan’s voice was a bit shy: "Actually, when renting the Thunderbird Group’s office to do patch programs, I left a backdoor in their server. We can use the backdoor. Hold on a moment, let me check if that backdoor program is still usable."
The phone rang; it was Liu Ningyan calling: "Ha, the backdoor program is usable. Open your computer, and I’ll send you a holographic map showing the circuit layout of Lei Ziming’s office."
"A circuit layout? What use is that? Can’t you just tell me where his secret room is and how to open it?"
Liu Ningyan laughed: "Hearing you talk about the traps in his office, it’s probably a pressure balance program. If the pressure balance within the program range is disrupted, a bomb will trigger. That’s how Zuo Mu got injured. And to run such a program, controlling the pressure balance isn’t something you can achieve with just a regular AA battery. It requires a substantial current to control the pressure balance. By understanding the electrical circuit layout in his office, you can know the distribution of traps and the location of his secret room."
Xu Xiangbei grinned: "Good idea, I’ll go prepare the computer right away."
Xu Xiangbei opened his laptop and received the circuit hologram sent by Liu Ningyan.
Liu Ningyan had already marked the potential trap locations on the circuit map, showing that Lei Ziming’s office was indeed full of traps.
Besides the "stone" that injured Zuo Mu, there were two more game monster models that were bombs, a dinosaur that was a camera, and a tree-man model that was an electric gun.
Looking at Liu Ningyan’s hints, Xu Xiangbei couldn’t help but break into a cold sweat. No wonder Jenny worked as an office secretary for months and never dared to venture inside; the traps were indeed hard to defend against.
The hologram marked the secret room’s location, just behind the innermost wall of the office.
To get to the secret room from the office door, one must pass through all the traps.
In that secret place, the current consumption was particularly high. Besides being used to open the secret room’s door, at least three traps were hidden.
As for the specific traps, Liu Ningyan couldn’t determine from the circuit map, but she marked three black skulls, indicating that the electrical consumption surpassed the previous bombs and electric guns, suggesting something more dangerous.
On the back of the hologram, besides the trap and secret room location map, Liu Ningyan also gave a suggestion. Since Lei Ziming’s office is on the thirtieth floor, to avoid surveillance cameras and security guards, it’s best to descend from an elevator shaft on the rooftop.
Carefully studying the hologram sent by Liu Ningyan, Xu Xiangbei came up with a rough plan. Beginning is always tough, but initiating the plan is even harder.
Getting onto the rooftop of the thirty-story Thunderbird Group building was no easy task.
He racked his brain, thinking about how to get onto the rooftop of the thirty-story building. Unless he jumps with a helicopter, where could he find a helicopter?
Xu Xiangbei accidentally saw the card left by Shen Congru, inlaid with gold.
Besides being a young president at Earth Sea Commercial Bank, Shen Congru was also an officer at the Eagle Wing Flying Club, so he could easily arrange a drone for the Emperor’s Pavilion’s opening advertisement.
Even though it was already three in the morning, Xu Xiangbei called him: "Young Master Shen, how did the cold storage plant project talk go last night?"
Shen Congru’s groggy voice came through the phone: "Dr. Xu, you’re still up at this hour, huh? The project already has a framework, with some details to be finalized. It’s fully feasible. We’ve roughly estimated that the entire project will require an investment of one billion. Our bank is prepared to invest ten million and provide a thirty million interest-free loan."
Xu Xiangbei wasn’t particularly interested in the cold storage plant project. He was eager to catch Lei Ziming’s evidence. Even though Shen Congru talked on and on about the project, he didn’t really listen.
He secretly admired Shen Congru’s business acumen, being suddenly awakened, still half asleep, yet eloquently detailing the cold storage plant project.
He cheekily smiled: "Young Master Shen, can you fly a helicopter?"
Shen Congru answered quite proudly: "Of course I can."
Xu Xiangbei was overjoyed; things were looking up: "Then can you take me for a flight tomorrow night? I want to try a low-altitude parachute jump."
Unsure if he heard correctly, Shen Congru asked again in confusion: "A low-altitude parachute jump?"
"Yeah, I want to jump from a helicopter onto the rooftop of a thirty-story building. Is that possible?"
It seemed that while Shen Congru had a great business mind, his abstract thinking wasn’t as strong. He thought about it confusedly: "A thirty-story building, huh. Well, it might be possible, as long as it doesn’t rain tomorrow night. I have a helicopter at Earth Sea Airport that you can jump from once. But, considering air traffic control factors, I can only tell you around ten in the morning if we’re allowed to fly since all flight plans need to be approved by the relevant authorities."
"Alright, I’ll wait for your call at ten then. Goodbye and sweet dreams."
Looking at the wall clock pointing to three in the morning, Shen Congru shook his head with a wry smile. Being woken up by Xu Xiangbei’s call while in deep sleep, how could he still have a sweet dream?
