683: Chapter 683: Pri Suspect!
Colluding in Cri!
Hmm…
Beneath the cloak of night.
A passenger plane flying in from Zanan City landed smoothly at Tianyuan International Airport.
Before long.
Edson, who had entered the country on a tourist visa, and three companions hailed a taxi straight for downtown Tianyuan City.
These past days, Edson had barely gotten any sleep.
The Northern Fox Organization he founded had suffered unprecedented devastation.
All their electronic equipnt had been reset, and their data wiped clean.
The intelligence, custor data, and confidential information accumulated over so many years…
Alas!
The re thought gave Edson a headache!
The incident was extraordinarily strange.
The destruction was so thorough that it was impossible to determine whether it was an act of malice from soone inside or an external breach.
Anyway, the result was…
Years of accumulation, gone in an instant.
Especially the funds in so many accounts!
All had been transferred away, and although the transaction records obtained from the banks revealed the direction of the funds,
with bank accounts all over the world, it was difficult to determine who among the thousands of people was the real culprit.
Furthermore, what if the other party had only used these accounts to complete the transfer of funds?
With the money gone, the consequences were grave.
Many users who won their bets but did not receive their payouts were bound to despise the Northern Fox Organization.
And without money, rebuilding was a troubleso affair indeed!
Many servers, industrial control machines, computers, etc., were forcibly reset, all data cleared, and the damage to hard drives and the like was significant.
Besides.
Although so extrely important data would be regularly backed up using disk arrays,
after backup, they would disconnect the network cable and stay offline to ensure they couldn’t be breached.
However, having lost the vast majority of their data, this brought considerable difficulty to the rebuilding work.
Not only that.
The investigative work was also extrely tough.
The Northern Fox Organization had grown over the years and had offices all over the world, of various ethnicities and nationalities.
The organizational structure was overly complex; it was simply not easy to determine whether there was sabotage by an inside mole.
And as for enemies…
they had no shortage!
Of course.
The day before the incident, the consecutive damage to servers in Zanan City was overly suspicious.
Edson and everyone else had been isolated and investigated.
Although they ended up with no evidence and ca up empty-handed, that temporary worker who appeared once still raised alarms.
Following the principle of “better to err in killing than to miss an enemy,” they obtained security footage from the office building’s security center.
After extracting video segnts, they had computer experts hack into Zanan City’s population managent system.
Through massive technical analysis and comparisons, the result was surprising.
Whether local residents or foreigners entering the country, there was no record of this person!
And thinking of the temporary worker’s impressive theoretical foundation and technical skills, that seed unlikely!
After all, it wouldn’t have been difficult for soone so capable to obtain a legitimate identity.
The only explanation…
…was that this temporary worker was likely disguised ticulously, with specific intent to access the office’s server room.
It was after he entered the server room that two major server failures and damages occurred.
There’s sothing fishy when things go awry!
Therefore.
After layer upon layer of investigation, this temporary worker beca a pri suspect.
And looking around the whole world…
Who else could single-handedly infiltrate the heavily defended and impregnable central servers of the Northern Fox Organization?
Who could regard firewalls and security defense systems as nothing?
And who was capable of creating an extrely powerful Trojan virus, placing it quietly, and triggering it at the right ti?
Is there even a need to guess the answer?
The technical competition of the Zhuzhou Continent SAM project was a world-class clash of titans.
The technical capabilities of Tanglong Industrial Group were already crystal clear to those in the know.
But ordinary people had no idea—it was Wu Jie who had turned the tide.
Later, when three major international giants instigated the Youth Army of Aseyah to set off serial explosions, they angered Wu Jie and suffered retaliation…
Could such an event be concealed from ordinary people or from the Northern Fox Organization?
They were in the business of intelligence and had intricate connections with the three international giants.
Therefore.
They were very aware of just how formidable Wu Jie was.
If Wu Jie could easily enter the enterprise servers of the three international giants, steal confidential data, and extort them,
then would it be difficult for him to breach the Northern Fox Organization?
Moreover.
They researched the temporary worker’s video footage with the plethora of photos and videos of Wu Jie available online and compared them over and over.
Disguises and makeup could at most change one’s facial features.
Height could be altered by using height-increasing inserts and similar ans.
But facial features, body shape, and bodily movents…
Many details couldn’t be concealed.
It was like recognizing an old friend from afar without seeing their face, identifying them just by their silhouette.
In movies and TV shows, where an actress wearing a veil or clad in black is recognized by acquaintances…
that’s just fiction.
A suspect based on even a shred of doubt!
The Northern Fox Organization was neither benign nor was it a lawful institution.
Having a suspect was enough; evidence was not necessary.
Wu Jie had extraordinary cyber-attack and infiltration capabilities and matched the physical characteristics of the temporary worker to a high degree.
This was not just a huge suspicion; internally, the Northern Fox Organization was almost certain that Wu Jie was the perpetrator.
Apart from him, who else in the world could possess such formidable cyber skills?
Therefore.
Edson, almost driven mad by repeated interrogations, volunteered to lead a team to Tianyuan first.
The purpose of this trip was to verify whether Wu Jie was indeed the perpetrator.
If he was, then they would do everything possible to compel him to return all the data and the huge amount of stolen funds.
Dare to rebel or refuse to cooperate, and you will be eliminated without discussion.
Of course, if that’s not the case, then pretend you were never here.
…
The Northern Fox Organization is a vast global international force.
It has no office in Tianyuan, and even within the country, only in Qicheng and Liuli City are there secret bases known to its internal mbers.
There aren’t many personnel within the country, and its roots are shallow.
Naturally, it cannot compare with the Tang Family of Tianyuan, known as the ‘local snakeheads’.
But over the years, there have always been forces in the large city of Tianyuan that have cooperated with the Northern Fox Organization.
One of these is the Xu Family of Tianyuan.
Initially, ng Changxin and Xu Changshan had both consecutively posted death bounties on the International Black Market Network organized by the Northern Fox.
The dostic Evil Group took the contract, but unfortunately, not only did they fail, but they were also completely annihilated.
After Xu Changshan died, the Xu Family fell apart.
His daughter, Xu Xinyi, and his younger sister Xu Juan killed each other over a conflict of interests and both ended up dead.
Now, the only person the Northern Fox Organization can contact is Xu Changshan’s godson, Xu Dongbing.
Xu Dongbing is almost invisible within the Tianyuan Xu Family.
In his early years, he committed a violent cri intentionally injuring soone and spent several years in prison.
After getting out, Xu Changshan intended to teach him the ropes, but this guy was completely irresponsible and acted exactly like a wastrel heir.
Angered, Xu Changshan declared that he would no longer care about him, dead or alive.
And after Xu Changshan died, Xu Dongbing knew his place and didn’t get involved in the inheritance struggle.
Many thought that with the fall of the Tianyuan Xu Family, this idle good-for-nothing would sooner or later starve to death.
But who could have imagined that Xu Xinyi and Xu Juan would kill each other over their interests, both damn well dead.
The investigative authorities, adhering strictly to the law, cracked down on the criminal group headed by Xu Changshan.
The illegal gains were, of course, directly confiscated.
But how could the Tianyuan Xu Family, which had been accumulating wealth for many years, not have any legal assets?
After all, even a cal on its last legs is bigger than a horse.
And so!
Xu Dongbing, who was on the sa household register with Xu Changshan and Xu Xinyi, suddenly beca rich!
As the sole legitimate heir, he obtained the legal assets left by the Tianyuan Xu Family after the confiscation.
He went from being an idle thug to a billionaire overnight.
He had multiple houses, stores, and millions in cash.
It’s when you have a large fortune that you can act high and mighty!
With money, Xu Dongbing suddenly stood tall.
Watching many foreign forces take advantage of the situation and get involved in Tianyuan’s many underworld activities,
Xu Dongbing couldn’t hold back and gathered a group of old loyalists from the Xu family to get back into business.
And not long ago.
Xu Dongbing himself had gambled on a football match through the Northern Fox Organization.
He certainly knew about the organization and that his godfather had once posted a death bounty on the International Black Market Network to take out Wu Jie.
Since he knew all this, Edson’s visit this ti would be much easier to handle.
…
The night was hazy.
The taxi arrived at the Tianyuan Baiyule Night Club.
As per the agreent, Edson ca to the private room and waited quite a while before Xu Dongbing showed up.
Buzz cut with an erald necklace, Buddha beads wrapped around the wrist, tight V-neck shirts paired with skinny pants that practically strangled the thighs…
This outfit damn near scread small-ti hoodlum.
Of course.
But Wu Jie still had an impressive air about him.
As soon as he entered the door, two hulking figures followed closely behind him.
Nearly two ters tall, with arms thicker than a woman’s thighs, they looked like towers of muscle.
Once seated, Xu Changshan casually crossed his legs and squinted as he smoked.
“I heard your Northern Fox Organization got raided, right?
A lot of people betting on soccer gas at your place haven’t settled their accounts, have they?”
“Lucky for I didn’t bet much that night.
If I had won, would you even honour the payout?”
The mont Xu Dongbing opened his mouth, he hit a sore spot.
Edson, who had no ti for idle chatter, imdiately stated his position:
“We only had a server issue.
Once it’s fixed, we will settle all payouts promptly!”
Shifting the topic, Edson asked, “What about the intel you were supposed to gather?”
“What’s there to investigate about Wu Jie?
Damn, who in Tianyuan doesn’t know him?
Whatever you want to know, just ask!”
Xu Dongbing tilted his head slightly, his face bearing a cold smile.
That smile…
Was, of course, a facade.
The Northern Fox Organization was powerful; killing him would be as easy as crushing an ant.
If not for the fact that he was a local snake, albeit a minor one, they wouldn’t have bothered coming to him at all.
But Xu Dongbing, who had only recently beco the boss, certainly wouldn’t act subservient or fearful.
Otherwise, how could he ever show his face in the underworld again?
“Where has he been showing up lately?”
“Tianyuan Haoting.
He and his close pal Zhang Hao opened a restaurant there,” Xu Dongbing said with a chuckle.
“You won’t believe it, but this guy’s worth billions and still works as a chef.
At night, he’s constantly roasting and causing a stir!”
“Hey, don’t you guys go online?
Just do a proper search, and you’ll find out he even interacts with fans in the restaurant…”
Xu Dongbing’s words made Edson’s face burn with embarrassnt.
Investigate?
Investigate my ass!
He knew Wu Jie was the pri suspect, so he took the initiative to request an imdiate flight from Zanan City.
The real elite forces would follow from the Shizhou Continent.
His eagerness was all because he wanted to make up for past failures!
After hearing the details, Edson imdiately made arrangents.
“You provide the driver and cars.
Don’t worry about anything else.
Once the others arrive, soone will give you technical instructions to produce a new type of product—stamps.
Got it?”
Edson’s Mandarin was awful, but Xu Dongbing could of course understand.
He was to exchange drug-making skills for cooperation in this operation; this had been agreed upon long ago.
“No problem.
I trust the capabilities of your huge international power!”
As he spoke, Xu Dongbing snapped his fingers.
The two brawny n who had entered with him imdiately pulled out four mobile phones from their pockets.
“The driver’s and my numbers are saved in these.
I also got them to set up a ssaging app and create a group for sending locations and stuff…
Just one last reminder, whatever you want with him, if anything goes wrong, you can’t rat out!”
“If this goes south, you’ll flee the country fast, what about ?
I’ll damn well still have to muddle through in Tianyuan!”
After giving his advice, Xu Dongbing, who was eager to prove himself, imdiately set off with his n.
Two sedans swiftly disappeared into the night…
