“Just in case, tie him up first.”
Ke Li noticed a length of hemp rope sticking out from under the fallen cabinet, so she went over and pulled it out.
“It must be ten meters, right?”
Ke Ling watched her pull it longer and longer, a slight smile curling at the corner of her mouth.
“Enough to wrap him up like a zongzi.”
“Those hands that gave off the black flash need to be bound tightly against his body. Don’t give him a chance to resist.”
Yang Liuqing said while looking at her phone.
“Roger.”
The two sisters acted quickly and really tied Daoba up like a zongzi.
Then they stuffed a wad of dirty rag picked up from who knows where into his mouth.
Even if he woke up midway, Daoba wouldn’t be able to call for help.
In fact, staying in this perfectly soundproofed office, it would be useless to scream your throat out.
The main thing was to prevent any ghost-like wailing from hurting their ears.
Throwing Daoba into the corner, the two sisters floated over to Yang Liuqing’s side and looked together at the display on the phone screen.
“Weird, it’s all apps that middle-aged people love, like Funny Milk and Yesterday’s Headlines.
And nothing strange in the texts or contacts.”
Yang Liuqing muttered.
Could this just be a backup phone?
“Master, isn’t it possible that the software is disguised with a skin?”
Ke Ling pointed out a suspicious point that couldn’t be ignored.
“Xiao Qingqing, don’t be fooled by appearances.”
Ke Li reached out and swiped a few times on the screen.
“Doesn’t this app called ‘Tokyo is Very Hot’ seem strange?”
“…Maybe it’s a lewd app.”
Yang Liuqing wasn’t sure.
The name seemed familiar, like she had heard it somewhere.
“Let’s click in and take a look first.”
Ke Ling urged.
“Alright.”
Yang Liuqing lightly tapped the flame icon of ‘Tokyo is Very Hot’ with her slender, white index finger.
The screen suddenly went black.
“Did it break?”
Ke Li tilted her head slightly, leaning against Yang Liuqing.
Ke Ling also came closer: “No, the screen light is very dim, the display is normal. It should be the app’s loading screen.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the app showed a new screen. First, a string of foreign text, then it switched to Chinese.
“A forum?”
Ke Li was a bit disappointed.
This thing, where’s the lewdness in that?
“Could it be a communication platform for some intelligence organization?”
Ke Ling glanced over it; it was unexpectedly ordinary.
It even looked crude, with that old-school millennium forum aesthetic.
“Jackpot.”
Yang Liuqing clicked into a panel, her pupils slightly contracting.
Because the first thing she saw was her own name.
“Xiao Qingqing, you’re a VIP here.”
Ke Li teased.
The whole row down was all intelligence information related to Yang Liuqing.
Some wanted to buy, some wanted to sell, some were just fakes just messing around.
“Those foreign texts are being instantly translated into Chinese. This app looks outdated on the surface, but its core is quite advanced.”
Ke Ling noticed the changes in the lower information as Yang Liuqing scrolled.
“What’s that called? AI empowerment?”
Ke Li thought for a moment, and the corresponding term appeared in her mind.
“Yeah, communication is completely barrier-free.”
Ke Ling nodded slightly.
This technology was more practical than imagined.
“People are constantly paying tens of thousands to buy my information, and in US dollars too. These guys are loaded.”
Yang Liuqing had hit the jackpot, but she wasn’t happy at all.
She felt like a commodity being auctioned in broad daylight, wearing nothing but two pairs of thigh-high stockings, covering her chest with one hand and her crotch with the other.
No privacy or dignity at all.
“I really want to kill them.”
This was both a spontaneous feeling and a heartfelt statement.
“Xiao Qingqing, they’ve investigated your ancestors back to eighteen generations.”
Ke Li quickly collected information as she followed the scrolling screen.
As an ordinary person, Yang Liuqing’s information was too easy to look up.
Without spending much money, you could find out everything about her from birth to last night.
In this era of big data, most people have no privacy to speak of.
What was truly valuable was the intelligence from after last night.
Especially the last five hours.
The further back you went, the price nearly doubled.
But compared to the value of Magic Potion, these were insignificant.
Yang Liuqing browsed quietly.
A lot of it was paid information.
She didn’t need to know it, because she herself was most aware of her own situation.
What was worth noting instead was who was buying the information.
Unfortunately, all the usernames inside were just like code names. Without a certain level of knowledge, it was hard to identify who they were.
Yang Liuqing settled for second best, finding the enemy’s movements from this free information.
During this time, she noticed a famous person on the forum.
Dian Jing.
There was also plenty of discussion about her; she was known to be reliable.
She seemed to be a hacker ranked among the top in the world.
“Master, this one is really troublesome.”
Ke Ling noticed that the most recent information was basically all posted by Dian Jing.
From the purchase volume, she was making a killing.
“Xiao Qingqing is so expensive!”
Ke Li saw a piece of intelligence selling for several hundred thousand US dollars, and her eyes lit up.
“Is her net worth now at two hundred million US dollars?”
“It shouldn’t have inflated that much.”
Yang Liuqing blinked.
She remembered Chise Liequan saying she was worth five hundred million RMB.
That was still far from two hundred million US dollars.
At the current exchange rate, that could convert to over one point four billion RMB.
Almost triple it.
It’s only been one night; there’s no way it could have increased that much.
“Master, this bounty will definitely skyrocket as time goes on.”
Ke Ling said with certainty.
“After all, spending so much manpower and resources and still not catching you, and not even finding your specific location.
It would be strange if the value of Magic Potion didn’t rise.”
“Xiao Qingqing, why don’t you use this account to post a two hundred million US dollar bounty.”
Ke Li was not afraid of stirring things up.
“Only a bounty, no reward?”
Yang Liuqing gave a bitter smile.
That would be asking for death.
That’s not how you increase the difficulty.
“Master, think from another angle. Let’s actively contact Dian Jing and buy intelligence to determine the enemy’s position.”
Ke Ling had a sudden inspiration.
“That might work, since it’s not my money anyway.”
Yang Liuqing nodded, then checked the balance of Daoba’s account.
“Whoa, this guy is loaded. He has Pizza Coin equivalent to one million US dollars in his account!”
Even though they had just been talking in terms of hundreds of millions, that was all virtual; nothing was as real as the million Pizza Coin in the account.
“No kidding, he’s in the business of high-interest loan killing.”
Ke Li used her little finger to tap the screen, and immediately a window popped up asking for the password.
“As expected, we can see it but can’t use it.”
“We need to find the password.”
Ke Ling turned her head to look at the unconscious Daoba.
“Master, let’s just torture him. Save time and effort.”
“Great idea.”
Ke Li cracked her knuckles, a dangerous glint flashing in her eyes.
Yang Liuqing thought for a moment, then slowly shook her head: “Let’s look through the phone first. If we can’t find it, then we’ll consider it.”
Being in the boss’s office of Xinxin Commercial Lending Company, they were temporarily safe, no need to rush.
“Xiao Qingqing, look in the memo. Middle-aged people at this age tend to be forgetful; they won’t bother remembering so many passwords.”
Ke Li gave a rare reasonable suggestion.
“I’ll look for it.”
Yang Liuqing thought this line of thought was feasible.
It didn’t take long before she found the memo.
Part of it was personal loan records, with very large amounts.
Scrolling down, they really found a bunch of passwords.
There were passwords for bank cards, for the electronic door at home, for safes, and for the Dark Web.
“Master, this Dark Web might be the app we’re looking at.”
Ke Ling reminded.
