Chapter 1070 Dawn in the Darkness
In the basement of Xianyun Manor, a heavy alloy door blocks out all sounds from the outside world.
Under the pale emergency lights, more than a dozen figures sat around a long table. The air was so heavy that it almost solidified, and every breath was accompanied by a suppressed hiss.
Chen Qian sat on Lu Feng's left, and her eyes uncontrollably glanced at the man in the main seat.
She had followed Lu Feng for such a long time, experienced countless storms, witnessed his calmness in strategizing, and felt his thunderous majesty, but she had never seen him like this.
Lu Feng sat there with his back straight, as if a volcano that was about to erupt was forcibly frozen.
His face was expressionless and terrifyingly calm, but what was surging in his deep eyes was a brutality that was enough to burn everything and a coldness that seemed to come from the abyss of Hell.
He was no longer the helmsman of a business empire, but more like a demon god stepping out from a sea of blood and corpses, emitting a terrifying aura that made the soul tremble.
Chen Qian swallowed subconsciously, her throat feeling dry and tight.
On both sides of the long table, Nie Zhan, Chen Long, Liu Ruyan... these absolute confidants of the core team were all silent at this moment, with frowns on their faces.
They had just learned the tragic news that their boss's family had been kidnapped, as well as the other party's extremely sinister double insurance plan.
Anger, anxiety, and worry are intertwined, but more of a feeling of powerlessness in the face of a dead end.
Lu Feng's gaze slowly swept over everyone present. His gaze was so heavy that it made people breathless.
"You all know the situation." His voice was hoarse, with a texture like the friction of metal, breaking the suffocating silence. "Faced with this situation, is there any solution?"
When he asked the question, he was met with even deeper silence.
Everyone either lowered their heads in thought or exchanged desperate glances with their companions.
Nie Zhan clenched his fists, wishing he could lead his men to attack immediately, but the other party's threat of "no one knows about it, and they will kill each other if they make a move" was like an invisible shackle that bound his hands and feet tightly.
Although the others were good at business strategies, they were helpless in the face of this naked violent kidnapping and carefully designed trap.
This time the opponent was too insidious, and their plan was too foolproof. They exploited the most vulnerable emotions in people's hearts and blocked all conventional rescue routes.
Lu Feng looked at the silent crowd, and the last glimmer of hope in his eyes dimmed.
He fished out a cigarette case from his pocket, took out a cigarette and lit it.
In the past, nicotine could always calm his chaotic mood, but at this moment, the spicy smoke inhaled into his lungs only brought a burning pain and deeper irritability.
He took a deep breath and exhaled heavily. In the smoke, the hostility between his brows seemed to solidify into substance.
In the basement, there was only the faint sound of burning cigarettes and the pervasive, bitter smell of nicotine. The atmosphere was so oppressive that it was suffocating.
Just when this desperate silence was about to swallow everyone up, Liu Ruyan, who was sitting on Lu Feng's right, suddenly raised her head, and a glimmer of inspiration suddenly flashed in her eyes!
"Director Lu!"
Her voice rose slightly with excitement, sounding especially clear in the silent basement. "I...I have an idea!"
"any solution?!"
Hearing this voice, Lu Feng turned his head almost instantly, and his dead eyes suddenly burst into a terrifying light, like a drowning man grabbing the last straw.
"Say it!"
Liu Ruyan exhaled a fragrant breath and spoke rapidly, "Have we... have we forgotten about Xiao Yuan?! Don't you have the nearly omniscient and intelligent AI system 'Xiao Yuan' in your hands?"
"It possesses almost terrifying network intrusion and analysis capabilities! Isn't it thanks to it that we've been able to escape danger so many times these days?"
"In that case, why don't we use its power to try to locate your uncle and aunt's exact location without their 'partners' knowing?"
"Then, we can split into two groups and rescue at the same time!"
"Little Yuan?!"
These two words exploded in Lu Feng's mind like thunder!
"Snapped!"
Lu Feng slapped his forehead fiercely. The overwhelming regret and sudden surge of hope nearly made him lose his composure. "Damn it! How could I have forgotten that!"
Yes! He still has this trump card in his hand—the Dimensity 3000 intelligent core "Xiaoyuan"!
Although it was limited by core commands and could only deeply penetrate the network monitoring system of one city at a time, but... now he didn't need to monitor the Magic City! What he needed was to find his relatives far away in Xuancheng!
"Modu to Xuancheng...Modu to Xuancheng..." Lu Feng muttered to himself, the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter, and the blood that was almost frozen by despair instantly boiled again!
Without any hesitation, or even a word to say to anyone else, he rushed straight to the security door where Xiao Yuan was placed.
"Ding—identity confirmed, authorization approved."
The heavy alloy door slid open silently.
Lu Feng stepped into the cold machine room.
There, a huge black rectangle was making a slight sound.
"Xiao Yuan!" Lu Feng's voice was unprecedentedly urgent and full of unquestionable command.
hum-
A soft yet technologically advanced blue beam of light projected down from the top of the device, instantly condensing into a petite holographic image of a girl in a light blue dress.
The girl's face was delicate and flawless, and her eyes were calm and peaceful. It was none other than the artificial intelligence Xiao Yuan.
"Command received. Master, I'm here." Xiao Yuan's voice was clear and pleasant, with a unique electronic texture.
"Immediately execute the highest priority command!" Lu Feng spoke at an extremely fast speed, and every word seemed to hit the ground. "Switch the current deep monitoring area!"
"Target: Xuancheng! Cover all its public networks, traffic monitoring, communication nodes, and even... mobilize all available resources!"
Xiao Yuan's image seemed to flicker slightly, and a blue light shone. "Region switch command confirmed. Warning: This operation will remove the deep surveillance coverage of the Magic City. Confirm?"
"Confirm! Execute immediately!" Lu Feng said without hesitation.
"The command is being executed...the area switch is completed. The deep monitoring network has covered the entire area of Xuancheng City." Xiao Yuan's voice remained steady.
Lu Feng took a step forward in front of the black body and placed his hands on it.
"Xiao Yuan! Invade all Xuancheng network nodes immediately! Search for the following keywords: 'Lu Yusong' and 'Wang Yuxiu'! I want to know all their movements, communication records, and any related surveillance footage from the past 24 hours!"
"Especially today! Any unusual information, even the slightest clue, must be screened out! Now! Immediately!"
"Command confirmed. Target person information locked: Lu Jianguo, Wang Xiulan. Search scope: Xuancheng City's entire network data. Time range: past 24 hours. Initiating deep scan and analysis..."
