Gu Sheng transmigrated and was bound to a glitchy system. The system seemed to be broken, impossible to contact, yet its functions ran normally. Periodically, the system would give Gu Sheng a new i...
After Chapter 11, Gu Sheng tried to call back that unknown...
Gu Sheng then tried calling the unknown number back, but the only response he received was: "The number you dialed is not in service."
This result was within Gu Sheng's expectations.
Unable to contact Jiang Yuan, they had to think of another way.
He put down his phone and lay down on the sofa to reflect on what had happened that day.
When Gu Sheng thought of what Li Qingyue had said—that the Ouroboros organization had allegedly defrauded nearly a billion yuan using counterfeit goods—he suddenly sat up.
He's now a member of Ouroboros. Has the money Ouroboros swindled been shared with him?
Gu Sheng went to the drawer where he usually kept his bankbooks. He opened the drawer and searched through it, but found nothing extra.
Gu Sheng began to think about where he would hide a sum of money that he could not let anyone find out.
As he pondered this, he looked up at the ceiling, then looked down again and shook his head: "That's not right."
Then he looked down at the floor, and then he squatted down thoughtfully and tapped the floor. There was nothing wrong with the floor he was standing on.
He then tapped on every floor of the house and eventually found something unusual under the moved bed.
The floor tile that should have been in the center under the bed was hollow.
Gu Sheng opened the floor tile without much effort.
What came into Gu Sheng's view was a bunch of wires and a strangely shaped computer.
He took out the computer and the pile of wires.
Underneath those things was a black garbage bag, and inside the garbage bag was something.
Gu Sheng opened the trash bag and found three bundles of exquisitely crafted black cards inside.
Gu Sheng counted them; each bundle contained ten cards.
The card has a double diamond-shaped icon.
Gu Sheng felt like he had seen the whole icon somewhere before.
He searched online and immediately realized where he had seen it before – it was the logo of the Development Bank of City A, which is ubiquitous.
City A is arguably the most chaotic city in the world, even more chaotic than City C.
What's truly surreal is that the most chaotic city in the world also boasts the world's best bank: the City A Development Bank, which is renowned as the safest bank in the world.
The cards in Gu Sheng's hand are anonymous cash cards issued by the Development Bank of City A.
Each card has a fixed storage of 50 million yuan. When needed, it must be activated at the regional headquarters of the Development Bank of City A. After activation, the Development Bank of City A will replace the original anonymous cash card with a regular bank card.
The target group for this card is self-evident. Of course, the Development Bank of City A guarantees to defend the information security of its customers to the death, and will still ensure the privacy and security of customers even after the bank card is activated.
Gu Sheng did a simple multiplication in his mind, but when he realized how much money these cards represented, his brain went blank.
Those were numbers he had never seen in his entire life, not even in his next life.
So much money appeared under his bed?
Has he been sleeping on these things these past few days?
After calming herself down, Gu reluctantly put the card back in its place.
Gu Sheng didn't intend to keep this money; it was all embezzled funds, and he would hand it over to Li Qingyue later.
Gu Sheng gathered his thoughts, banished the cards from his mind, and told himself to stop thinking about them; none of them were his.
However, Gu Sheng thought about it again. If he could get so much money, how many people and how much money had the Ouroboros organization defrauded?
What Li Qingyue said was just the tip of the iceberg.
Gu Sheng looked at the computer on the ground and then began to think about how to use it.
He took the computer up to the third floor.
There are many tools here; you might find something you can use.
Gu Sheng squatted down next to the screen wall and started tidying up the cables. After messing around for a long time, he still couldn't get the strange computer to start.
Just after Gu Sheng gave up on treatment and started fiddling with the computer, it suddenly lit up.
Gu Sheng silently looked at his hand; it was moving on its own!
It seems his hands don't need his brain to control them; from now on, he should just rely on his body's instincts.
After turning on the computer, Gu Sheng placed his hands on the keyboard, and as expected, the keyboard started moving on its own as soon as his hands touched it.
The computer screen was full of unfamiliar interfaces. Those interfaces kept opening and closing. After a while, all the interfaces disappeared and were replaced by a video screen.
In the video, a man who looks to be in his forties or fifties, with a refined and easygoing demeanor, is practicing calligraphy.
His writing movements were clean and beautiful, and the characters he wrote were vigorous and powerful, making even a layman like Gu Sheng want to exclaim "Good!"
However, Gu Sheng found it strange that after fiddling with his computer for so long, all he got in the end was a seemingly ordinary video.
Just as Gu Sheng was wondering what was going on, the door to the room opened on the screen, and a woman with a good figure walked in.
The woman said, "Boss, the things can be delivered tomorrow."
Gu Sheng, watching from the screen, was taken aback by the woman's words. Boss? Was it the boss he knew?
Could this be the leader of the ouroboros in the picture?
With this in mind, Gu Sheng had an even bolder idea.
Is this video from a live surveillance camera?
Gu Sheng looked at the four antennas on the side of the computer. These must be receivers.
Did he install surveillance cameras in the Ouroboros boss's room?
Gu Sheng swallowed hard; this was a bit too outrageous.
The security at the place where the Ouroboros boss lives is about the same level as the security at those museums that Gu Sheng could infiltrate by himself.
Neither will work.
The leader of the ouroboros nodded after hearing the woman's words and said, "Yes, make sure it's done well. Don't cut corners just because you're in a rush."
The woman said, "Don't worry, everything will be done as you request."
The man didn't say anything more; he waved his hand and dismissed the woman.
Gu Sheng looked at the man who continued practicing calligraphy and didn't know what to do.
Should I keep watching? It's getting a bit boring.
Not reading it? What if I miss some important information?
Just as Gu Sheng was struggling with his decision, the man in the video moved.
He touched the edge of the desk, and a small drawer popped out from the side of the desk, containing a key.
He took out his key, opened the drawer under the desk, and took out a cell phone.
The man stared at his phone, his face grave, his eyes cold and menacing, as if he were looking at his enemy, not his phone.
As if he had made up his mind, he turned on his phone and dialed the only number in it.
Gu Sheng was still curious about who he was calling. Judging from the man's behavior, that person must have a deep grudge against him. But if they had a grudge, why would he hide his phone?
Just as Gu Sheng was pondering, the computer in front of him beeped.
Gu Sheng saw the following displayed on the computer:
"The clown is calling."
"The voice changer is ready. Please connect your external device."
Gu Sheng looked at the words on the screen, then at the man in the screen.
He twitched his lips. Was the man calling him again?
Does he have a grudge against men? And is his level of secrecy really that high? He even has a private phone.
Finally, why use a voice changer?
Before Gu Sheng could figure it out, his body had already made the decision for him.
He picked up the external device next to him, plugged it in, and then put it on his head.
Then click to answer the call.
The moment the click occurred, the screen showed that the man's phone had finally connected.
A man's voice came from the computer: "BOSS, everything is as you predicted. Jiang Yuan really did want to betray us. I will deal with him later."
BOSS?
What BOSS? Am I the BOSS of Ouroboros?
Gu Sheng didn't know how to answer, so he could only hum in response.
As soon as the voice came out, Gu Sheng was stunned. After being processed by the voice changer, his voice sounded very old.
The man seemed used to Gu Sheng's silence. He didn't question Gu Sheng, but after a moment of silence, he said, "May I ask you a question?"
Gu Sheng didn't answer, after all, he knew he definitely couldn't answer the man's question, but he was curious about what the man wanted to ask.
The man seemed to take Gu Sheng's words as tacit agreement, and said, "Why do you trust Gu Sheng so much that you even entrust all your funds to him for management? I know he is very capable and loyal, but I don't think he is a suitable manager. It would be better to entrust the money to Zhou Yan rather than him."
Another name was obtained, Zhou Yan, who seemed to be in charge of finances within the organization.
However, these things are not important for now. What is important is that Gu Sheng now knows how that money came about.
In other words, all the money that the Ouroboros organization swindled is now in his hands?
Gu Sheng suddenly felt that there was no need for him to continue investigating. He could take down Ouroboros simply by using the computer and the money.
The only problem is that if he does this, Gu Sheng's own identity seems unclear.
If Gu Sheng was merely a member of the Ouroboros organization, then it would be perfectly reasonable for him to obtain intelligence as an undercover agent, inform Li Qingyue, and help Li Qingyue take down Ouroboros.
But if he is the boss of Ouroboros, then he can't explain himself no matter what. Could it be that he went undercover and became the boss?
Gu Sheng thought about it for a moment and felt that this excuse was not unacceptable. The only problem was whether Li Qingyue would believe it.
Based on Gu Sheng's understanding of Li Qingyue, he probably wouldn't believe it.
Seemingly because Gu Sheng had been silent for too long, the man softly called out, "BOSS?"
Gu Sheng snapped out of her daze and answered the man's question: "I believe him." Of course, I believe in myself the most.
The man said nothing more, only, "I will follow your will," he said, "Then I won't bother you any longer. I will report back to you when there are any new developments."
Gu Sheng replied, "Mm," and then immediately hung up the phone.
Gu Sheng watched as the man on the screen put his phone back in the drawer and then locked the drawer.
Then he stood up, seemingly lost in thought, and after a while suddenly began to have an attack, sweeping the things on the table onto the floor.
The man stared into the void, his eyes filled with a chilling coldness.
It seems that the men dislike Gu Sheng as the BOSS and also have some complaints about him as a member of Ouroboros.
However, Gu Sheng understood; those were three bundles of black cards, worth a total of 1.5 billion.
Although the man will certainly get a share of the money, compared to 1.5 billion, the amount he receives is definitely insignificant.
The important thing is that it seems that no one in the organization except the men knows about the BOSS's existence. So, in the eyes of others, isn't that 1.5 billion just something the man embezzled?
It seems the man also faced a lot of criticism.
It's unclear what kind of image Gu Sheng has in the eyes of men that makes them so respectful of him, at least on the surface.
"Smack!"
Gu Sheng closed his laptop.
Regardless of how men view him, he will never admit to being some kind of "BOSS".
Gu Sheng decided to continue the investigation as a member of Ouroboros. As for the BOSS, that was just the man's imagination and didn't actually exist.
