"For your friend's safety, I have to invite you to come with me," Jiang Chen said in an unquestionable tone since he couldn't get anything out of him.
Xie Lei's eyes struggled for a moment before his shoulders finally relaxed.
"I can go with you, can you give me ten minutes?"
"That depends on what you plan to do with the ten minutes."
After taking a deep breath, Xie Lei said, "Don't worry, it's just a note."
Jiang Chen thought for a moment and didn't reject his request as he made a "please" gesture.
Seeing that Jiang Chen agreed, the young man was clearly relieved as he turned around and walked upstairs.
Jiang Chen followed the young man upstairs with his hand in his pocket, clutching the 11 tactical pistol. But the young man didn't play any tricks as he took out the key and opened the old security door. Without a word, he walked in and turned into the room closest to the door.
Xie Lei took out his phone and turned on the flashlight function. The small room was instantly lit up.
There were four computer cases and two display screens. The wiring was tangled in a complicated way, connecting to unknown electronic devices.
"You made this?" Jiang Chen was slightly surprised.
"Mhmm." Xie Lei didn't seem to want to elaborate on this question as he simply answered.
The young man fumbled around on the table for a while before he took out an MP3 player. It was rare to see something that was out of touch with the times.
He seemed to have turned on the recording function as he put the MP3 player in front of his mouth and said.
"Lin Ling, I'm sorry, brother has to go to a place far away. Although this may be a little shameless, but … please forgive this irresponsible brother of yours, I … "
"Are these your last words?" Jiang Chen smiled.
Xie Lei ignored Jiang Chen as he took a deep breath and continued to tell Jiang Chen many things, such as "take care of yourself" and "the password to the bank card".
"Is it over?" Jiang Chen asked.
Although he was sympathetic, Jiang Chen didn't plan on letting him go.
Since he had done such a thing, he should be prepared to be exposed.
Xie Lei nodded and looked at Jiang Chen with seriousness. "It's over. My sister is blind, I hope you can let her go. "
"Don't worry, I don't have the habit of harming the innocent."
Xie Lei didn't say anything else as he obediently followed Jiang Chen to the car and was taken to the mansion.
…
The power outage caused quite a commotion in the neighborhood, especially after it was confirmed that it was man-made.
The security guards went door to door to confirm the safety of each household owner, but they were surprised to find that none of the houses had been broken into.
But no matter what, it was a good thing that no one suffered any losses. After all, the people who lived here were either rich or respectable. If something really happened, it would be a huge blow to Wanhua Real Estate's reputation.
Therefore, after some investigation, the power outage was classified as an accident, and it was not reported to the police.
The power had been restored.
At the same time, in the basement of the villa.
Ayesha crossed her arms expressionlessly and stared coldly at the three people with their hands tied behind their backs. Looking at those cold eyes, Yan Xiaoyan felt her whole body tremble. She had never been so afraid before. Her skills, which she was so proud of, couldn't even withstand two moves from this young girl.
At this moment, footsteps came from upstairs.
The coldness in his eyes instantly melted.
Yan Xiaoyan swallowed her saliva and looked incredulously at the eyes that had instantly become gentle.
"You're back." Ayesha greeted him.
"Mhmm." Jiang Chen rubbed her head lovingly and then looked at the three people in the basement.
"Lei, how did you-" Yan Xiaoyan was shocked. No one had mentioned his location, so how could he have been caught?
"I got caught." Xie Lei forced a smile as he consciously extended his hands to Jiang Chen. "Tie me up."
Jiang Chen glanced at him and signaled Ayesha to put handcuffs on him. He then looked at the four people in the basement and smiled. "Good, since all the rats are caught, then let's solve the problem once and for all."
As he spoke, Jiang Chen took out a truth-telling serum from his pocket and handed it to Ayesha before he stared at Xie Lei.
"I ask one question, you answer one question. If I feel that you're lying, then I'll use the truth-telling serum. "
The interrogation began. Xie Lei confessed everything Jiang Chen asked without any resistance.
First was the identity of the four people.
Retired soldiers, unemployed military fanatic, a female university student at a sports school, and Xie Lei, a hacker who dropped out of high school.
Xie Lei had some skills. His nickname was Green Bird, and he was ranked third in the Hua Hacker Alliance. His most impressive achievement was hacking into the server of the Nippon Supreme Court two years ago and raising the national flag on their official website. He relied on his employer's commissions to make a living.
Because of one mistake, a colleague named Black Tiger obtained his identity information, which directly led to the end of his hacker career. From then on, he became Black Tiger's money-making tool. The commissions he accepted gradually deviated from the legal framework.
He wasn't afraid of going to jail, but he couldn't let go of his blind sister. If Black Tiger leaked his information, he would definitely be sentenced to more than ten years in prison. He couldn't imagine how his sister would live without him.
After some struggle, he finally made a risky decision. He teamed up with his three friends to plan and execute the kidnapping.
Then it failed.
"You guys are quite loyal. You guys agreed to help me kidnap someone? Would you do it if I asked you to kill someone? "Jiang Chen looked at the three dubiously and laughed.
Zhang Chao was scared by Jiang Chen's gaze and shrunk back, but Lu Dahu looked calm.
Then, Jiang Chen looked at the female university student named Yan Xiaoyan.
"What about you? Seeing your boyfriend in trouble, you're willing to go to jail? "
Yan Xiaoyan's face turned red. Just as she was about to argue that she was only his childhood friend, Xie Lei spoke first.
"I've already told you everything I need to know. I'm willing to take all the responsibility as long as you let my friend go. "Xie Lei slowly lowered his head and kneeled on the ground.
Everyone held their breath.
Hearing this, Yan Xiaoyan was so anxious that she wanted to speak up for him. However, she suddenly realized that she didn't seem to have a good enough excuse for him.
Including herself, they were all criminals.
Jiang Chen looked down at Xie Lei expressionlessly.
"Do you think you have the right to negotiate with me?"
"No." Xie Lei lowered his head.
After a moment of silence, Jiang Chen suddenly laughed.
"Although this ridiculous farce didn't cause any substantial damage to me, it doesn't mean I'll let you go. But considering that you're being threatened, I can give you a chance. "
"I'm willing to accept, as long as you let my friend go."
"Lei …" Yan Xiaoyan stared at Xie Lei with tears in her eyes.
"Oh? You agreed without asking what it is? "
"No matter what it is, I'll agree … This is my problem, I don't want to drag my friend down." Xie Lei took a deep breath and said in an undertone.
Jiang Chen nodded, satisfied.
"Since you agreed, then it's easy. Once this is over, your friend can leave. "
Jiang Chen paused before he continued in a relaxed tone.
"How do you contact Black Tiger? Phone?"
