Chapter 43 Unease

Time ticked by, and gradually, the hour hand on the wall clock pointed to 11 o'clock.

"Why is it taking so long?" Li Tianran asked.

"The other party's phone number is clearly encrypted. The IP address and identity information may have been changed several times. The hacker needs to use big data to identify which piece of information is real!"

"Besides, my team is made up of biology professors and researchers. I transferred a professional hacker from out of town, but he hasn't arrived yet... so I can only borrow someone else's power to do this first." Bai Jingyan smiled and said, "It's Miss Ren Xiao, whom you've met before!"

"It's eleven o'clock at night. Do you think she'll be in a good mood if I bother her at this hour?"

"Maybe Miss Ren Xiao is deliberately dragging it out... to make us anxious too."

Li Tianran's expression became a little unnatural when he heard this name, as if he had been caught red-handed doing something indecent, and he looked slightly embarrassed.

"By the way, I've always been curious about something... On my first day in Nancheng, you broke into Miss Ren Xiao's villa and snatched my USB drive." Bai Jingyan looked at Li Tianran and asked with a hint of doubt in his voice, "At the time, who was your target? Me? Or Ren Xiao?"

"..." Li Tianran glanced at him without saying a word.

"Hehe, it doesn't matter if you don't answer." Bai Jingyan shook the ice storage tank in his hand. "As long as I have this, I won't ask for anything else! Don't worry, I will definitely keep this a secret! The enemies I face are more ferocious than yours. If they knew I got this, they would probably do anything to kill me and steal my research results."

A slight mocking smile appeared on the corner of Li Tianran's mouth.

Bai Jingyan said these words to eliminate Li Tianran's desire to kill him.

Only by putting himself in the same situation as Li Tianran would he make Li Tianran believe that he would never reveal Li Tianran's secret.

"Hurry your people," Li Tianran said softly. "I'm getting annoyed."

Fifteen minutes later.

Li Tianran's phone beeped.

He looked down and saw that he had received an email.

"I didn't leave my email address. Your people were able to find my email account?" Li Tianran raised his eyebrows.

"..." Bai Jingyan looked at Li Tianran speechlessly and said softly, "My friend, what does a hacker represent? Network information has no secrecy in front of them. In this age of information, as long as a hacker has a photo of you, they can dig up all your information in ten minutes. It's too easy for them!"

"The hacker I transferred from out of town is a top figure in this industry. He can even silently invade a city's Tianyan (sky eye) surveillance system from thousands of miles away, turning your phone into a camera to monitor you, completely controlling a person's every move! He can even know how many times you go to the bathroom in a day and how many pieces of bread you eat for dinner!"

Li Tianran was slightly shocked when he heard Bai Jingyan's words.

Although the Earth had mutated, technology was still the most powerful force in the world, and it could do too many incredible things.

The scenes that Bai Jingyan had just described were like scenes from a science fiction movie.

But in reality, human technology had already made it possible!

He opened the email.

A very detailed file appeared in front of Li Tianran.

...

In the suburbs, a building resembling a church loomed like a giant beast in the darkness.

Inside the highest room of the church, a woman in a long black dress with a golden lotus embroidered on her chest walked on the expensive wool carpet and sat on the sofa as if she were extremely tired.

"Heavenly Leader, where will you rest tonight? Are you going back to the city?"

A young woman wearing the same clothes as her, but with silver lotus embroidery on her chest, walked over.

Her face was filled with fervent worship for the middle-aged woman, and she asked with reverence.

"My mind is a little uneasy... It seems to be a premonition." The middle-aged woman closed her eyes and said after a moment of thought, "I'll rest here tonight. Tell the believers to be on duty and not let anyone approach this place."

"May God bless you!" The young woman put her hands together, bowed to the middle-aged woman, and said piously, "The supreme White Lion!"

"Also..." The middle-aged woman suddenly opened her eyes again, her eyes full of solemnity, and instructed, "Have our people watch those 'goods.' They are our cash cow. We must, must not let anything go wrong!"

"Yes." The young woman nodded and then turned to leave.

...

Li Tianran drove Yuan Wen's Audi car on the dark road.

He couldn't believe what he had read in the email.

The email contained information about a woman.

Li Tianran had guessed correctly.

But this woman had never had any contact with Li Tianran, and they were completely different people in terms of address and social relationships!

When Li Tianran first saw this information, he even thought Bai Jingyan had fabricated it to deceive him!

But the slightly blurred photo attached to the end of the file dispelled Li Tianran's doubts.

It was a photo of a middle-aged woman with the domineering and fierce look unique to middle-aged women.

As soon as he saw this face, certain images that he had almost forgotten appeared in Li Tianran's mind.

A dozen days ago... at the entrance of Old Yang's house, there were three seemingly crazy middle-aged women who called themselves the All Beings Self-Help Association and asked Li Tianran and Old Yang to join...

The middle-aged woman in the photo was one of those three!

"You old hag..." Li Tianran squeezed out an extremely vicious curse between his teeth. He couldn't understand why she hated him so much. He had only casually retorted her, but she had dug up his parents' graves!

"These people are all sick in the head."

Li Tianran cursed. Bai Jingyan had already located her current location in an abandoned church in the suburbs.

Buzz!

A buzzing sound rang out, and ten Hummingbird-class battle mechs flew up beside Li Tianran, their bodies shimmering with a faint cold light.

"If the god you believe in really exists, then pray to it now! I hope you haven't done anything to my parents' ashes, otherwise even if your god really comes alive, it won't be able to save you!" Li Tianran gritted his teeth and slammed the accelerator to the floor.

Ahead, there was darkness.

The outline of a church was gradually approaching.

...

At the same time.

Outside a luxurious villa district in Nancheng City.

A black car slowly drove in.

A pot-bellied man walked out of the villa with a greedy smile on his face.

The door of the black car opened, and a woman in black with silver lotus embroidery walked down. Two strong men opened the trunk and carried out a huge canvas bag, sending it into the villa.

Riiiip!

The canvas bag was torn open in the villa's living room, and long black hair spilled out along the edge of the canvas bag!

Inside was a girl!

A beautiful girl no more than eighteen years old, trembling all over!

"President Nan, I wish you a pleasant time!" The woman in black shook hands with him and smiled ingratiatingly.
