“What’s got you so worked up?”
At this mont, Zhou Chao was driving his rcedes-Benz 600 with Xiao Yang towards their base.
Xiao Yang glanced at Zhou Chao briefly, then his deep voice resonated.
“Don’t you know there’s a saying, ‘Curiosity killed the cat’? You should mind your own business when it cos to matters in society. Just focus on driving and speed up a bit.”
Zhou Chao didn’t reply to this and simply cast a sidelong glance at Xiao Yang’s phone. He clearly saw a text ssage with just two words on it: “Ergency situation!”
Throughout the journey, Zhou Chao drove as fast as he could. However, Xiao Yang’s base was quite far away. By the ti they arrived at the secluded mountain villa in Tunn, the sky had gradually darkened.
“Brother Yang, could you pick a place closer next ti?” Zhou Chao parked the car and couldn’t help complaining.
“Bla ? You should ask the upper managent to arrange a better location. I also want to stay in the city center. It would be much more convenient!” Xiao Yang retorted, leaving Zhou Chao montarily speechless. He could only shoot a silent glare at Xiao Yang and followed him to their accommodation.
Zhou Chao followed Xiao Yang through a series of twists and turns and soon arrived at an independent small villa. Xiao Yang used his fingerprint to open the door and glanced back at Zhou Chao before leading him inside.
“Captain, you’re back. Who’s this?” As they entered the room, they were greeted by a burly man wearing a camouflage T-shirt.
“One of our own, a special consultant,” Xiao Yang replied. His face had turned into an expressionless mask, quite different from his previous playful deanor.
Upon hearing this, the burly man scrutinized Zhou Chao for a mont and then nodded in acknowledgnt. Xiao Yang continued to lead Zhou Chao further inside.
“Xiao Qin, what’s the situation?” Even before they stepped into the room, Xiao Yang’s voice could be heard.
“Captain, we traced the signal to the Tunn area earlier, but it disappeared quickly. We also encountered interference from an unknown organization, or else we would have already located his whereabouts,” a young woman with a ponytail, sitting in front of a computer, spoke while munching on a lollipop. She had a slightly aggressive tone.
“Alright, good job. Keep trying to locate him and see if you can find any new leads.”
“Yes, Captain!” After responding, Xiao Qin turned back to her computer, her fingers swiftly tapping on the keyboard.
Zhou Chao had unknowingly positioned himself behind Xiao Qin, observing as she switched between different screens and occasionally retraced the previously tracked signal. After a while, he shook his head in resignation.
“Consultant, do you have any objections? You’ve been standing here for quite so ti, shaking your head. Do you doubt Xiao Qin’s skills?” The burly man they had encountered earlier was now glaring at Zhou Chao with anger in his eyes.
The burly man’s words instantly chilled the atmosphere in the room. Even Xiao Qin, the girl with the ponytail, stopped her actions and turned to look at Zhou Chao. anwhile, Xiao Yang leaned against the nearby door, wearing a mischievous expression as he observed the three of them.
Zhou Chao took a mont to understand and then replied, “I’m not shaking my head because I doubt her skills, but because I think the approach is wrong. Since we already know the area, why not access nearby surveillance caras directly and create a facial recognition system? It would be much quicker to track a single person that way.”
“This handso guy’s idea is not bad at all! Unfortunately, we don’t possess such technology. Just accessing the surrounding caras would require a lot of effort, not to ntion developing a data analysis software. It’s not sothing that can be done in a short ti. If we had that kind of technology, we’d be top-tier experts!”
Xiao Qin, the girl with a ponytail, appeared to be agreeing with Zhou Chao’s suggestion, but in reality, she was mocking him, saying that Zhou Chao was all talk and no substance, only capable of making irrelevant comnts.
“Ha! You might believe you can’t but don’t put such belief on others. Never underestimate anyone, especially when working in this departnt. You should always keep a clear mind and not rush into things, thinking you’re so kind of genius!”
“You! Fine, you give it a try then!” Xiao Qin wanted to argue but then changed her mind. She stood up and gestured for Zhou Chao to take over.
“Xiao Qin…” The burly guy, observing Xiao Qin’s angry expression as she looked at Zhou Chao, wanted to say sothing, but he was silenced by a aningful look from her.
Zhou Chao, unfazed by the commotion, smiled calmly and walked over to the computer. He briefly examined it and then took a deep breath before his hands started moving.
The room was soon filled with the sound of Zhou Chao’s keyboard tapping. Even the burly man, who had initially been dismissive, now looked astonished.
The burly man called Ming Ming, despite his rugged appearance, was a man with a keen intellect. When they first t, Xiao Yang gave him a aningful look. In essence, everything that had just happened was deliberate. Xiao Yang wanted to test Zhou Chao’s skills.
Ming Ming discreetly glanced at Xiao Yang and Xiao Qin, and after exchanging so signals with them, he nodded slightly. This indicated that Zhou Chao’s skills had surpassed Xiao Qin’s by a considerable margin, and now she was watching Zhou Chao’s coding with a learning attitude.
“Phew!” With the final line of code entered, Zhou Chao successfully created a simplified facial recognition system. He then started accessing all the surveillance devices in Tunn.
With his exceptional skills, Zhou Chao gained the highest level of access to the surveillance systems without alerting the network monitoring. He seamlessly integrated his recognition program into the surveillance system.
Zhou Chao clapped his hands and stood up from his chair, checking the ti; it had been less than an hour.
“Alright, it’s done. Xiao Qin, would you like to give it a try?” Zhou Chao looked at the others with a calm expression.
At this point, Xiao Yang, who had been observing from the sidelines, approached and glanced at Zhou Chao. Then he turned to Xiao Qin and said, “Try uploading a picture of the person we’re trying to track into the system.” “Of course, Captain!” Xiao Qin imdiately reverted to her efficient and determined self. She sat down and began operating the system.
Zhou Chao was sowhat surprised by Xiao Qin’s change in attitude but didn’t dwell on it. He watched as Xiao Qin worked quickly and, thanks to the surveillance system and the program he had edited, they soon found the person they needed to track.
“Captain, we’ve successfully locked onto their location!” Xiao Qin exclaid, jumping up from her chair when she saw the address the system had traced.
“Well done! Ming Ming, send their address for verification,” Xiao Yang ordered.
“Understood, Captain!” Ming Ming, now equally excited, headed out.
Zhou Chao was still sowhat bewildered and took a while to process everything. “Brother Yang, were you testing ?”
“Yes, I didn’t tell you? Oh, my bad, I forgot. Look at my forgetful mind. I’m getting old. Xiao Qin, make a copy of the program Zhou Chao created and study it carefully!” Xiao Yang said, then turned and headed to his office.
Realizing that he had been played, Zhou Chao shouted after Xiao Yang, “Xiao Yang, you f*cking devil! You pranked !”
