Chapter 16 is useful, a call that shakes the entire city - "Is it anyone but him?..."
Even though Snake Eyes was somewhat prepared, he was still taken aback by Fu Ze's words.
Given the earlier statement, "It's the 'key' that immediately comes to mind," and considering the person's previous behavior, he'd have to carefully consider his own worth if he wanted to bluff his way out of this situation.
Having weighed his options, Snake Eyes leaned back.
He wanted to cross his legs to boost his imposing presence, but the interior space of the Demon Lizard 757 was too limited, and after trying, he had to give up.
As a substitute for crossing his legs, Snake Eyes imitated the classic pose of the big bosses in the movies he had seen, placing his hands on his abdomen and asking mysteriously, "Why do you want to know this?"
“It’s useful.” Fu Ze responded very promptly, but his response was very casual.
It was answered, but it was as good as not answering at all.
Snake Eyes was momentarily at a loss for how to proceed.
After all, in the scripts he had read, the other party should kneel in front of him, weeping and recounting their tragic past, then give a reason why they have to know the origin of this thing, and finally beg for his charity with teary eyes.
Even without his embellishment at the end, at least he wouldn't have acted as nonchalantly as the person beside him, as if he wasn't the one who had gone to such great lengths to "steal" him from the executive officer.
Something's strange.
So Snake Eyes decided to test the waters again to see how much the other party actually knew about the key.
"Since you know about the key's existence, you're also well aware that knowing its secret could lead to death."
Snake Eyes, pleased with his own humor, thought he had pulled off a brilliant double-rhyme pun.
“Your understanding of ‘dying’ and my understanding of ‘dying’ are two completely different things.” Fu Ze still wore that calm and confident smile. “Besides, even if this secret is truly deadly, it would be my life that’s at stake. Senior, you’re showing me such tenderness?”
Cherish and protect the beautiful...
Although Snake Eyes hadn't received much formal education, he at least knew that this word was used to describe a man's affection for a woman.
Although the person in front of him was extremely eye-catching in appearance, and at first glance even had a kind of androgynous beauty, both the delicate Adam's apple protruding from the shadow of his jaw and his slender but still well-defined hands silently but powerfully proved that he was a real man.
At other times, Snake Eyes would have taken those words directly as a seduction, and would have immediately ignored everything else and mounted his horse.
But when Snake Eyes thought about what the other party had done before, he and his brothers all became discouraged.
Someone like him, who spends his life in the underworld, has an extremely keen sense of danger.
His experience and intuition both told him that he definitely couldn't handle a beauty of this caliber around him.
Having put aside his unruly thoughts, Snake Eyes' intelligence returned to its peak. He turned to Fu Ze with a very serious expression and said, "I said this when I surrendered to the judge of L City. Now I'm saying it to you again."
Fu Ze's eyes sharpened, and his thin lips moved slightly: "I would like to hear the details."
Snake Eyes cleared his throat and said solemnly, "This matter is complicated. I won't say a word if anyone other than Yuan Jianxing takes over."
Although a faint smile remained on his lips, Fu Ze immediately began to make plans in his mind.
"Well, I'm not exactly a good person, but I have my reasons for saying certain things." Snake Eyes took the nearly burnt-out cigarette butt out of his mouth, casually stubbed it out, and tossed it aside. "If he hadn't come to listen, there would have been no point in me saying anything about the key."
After pondering for a while without finding a solution, Fu Ze bluntly voiced his doubts: "Why exactly does Yuan Jianxing gain your favor? Is it because of his high position and great power?"
Suddenly, in a flash, Fu Ze seemed to realize something, his eyes brightening slightly. He then immediately asked Snake Eyes, "Or have you also heard that rumor?"
— Yuan Jianxing was able to rise from the bottom of the social hierarchy as a "self-taught and connected person" to become the "Chief" who made enemies tremble and was praised by his peers, all thanks to his unwavering eye for judging people and situations.
Snake Eyes added a new three-double happiness symbol and said happily, "Ah, this child is teachable."
If that's the reason, then Fu Ze has nothing to say.
After all, he had personally witnessed or experienced the true value of that statement.
After sighing, Fu Ze asked Snake Eyes for confirmation: "Is it anyone but him?"
"It has to be him," Snake Eyes declared firmly.
After receiving two affirmative answers, Fu Ze got up, pushed open the door, and got out of the car.
Snake Eyes certainly didn't think Fu Ze would give up so easily, but he really couldn't figure out what this person wanted to do now.
Fu Ze walked to the side of the smart electronic door lock in a room on the top floor and used a small screwdriver that he had somehow gotten into his hand to directly stab the camera on the smart electronic door lock.
With a piercing sound of plastic scraping against metal, the spot where the camera used to be was now just an empty hole.
Once the camera is no longer detected, the smart electronic door lock automatically displays the password input page.
Fu Ze casually pushed open the door to the room, using a password that theoretically should be changed every three months but has actually remained the same for eight hundred years.
The room was filled with stacks of tall computer towers, with convection fans arranged on both sides of each tower.
Walking up to one of the mainframes, Fu Ze carefully removed a screw that was securing a cable, about the thickness of a bowl, to the mainframe.
After removing all the screws, he grabbed the thick cable with both hands, and as if afraid it wasn't secure enough, he lifted one leg and placed his foot on the shelf next to him.
A loud crackling sound of electricity rang out immediately after Fu Ze exerted his strength. At the same time, the holographic image that was working on one side of the top of the Boundless Land of Wind and Moon went out and displayed the words "Signal Searching".
Stepping over several tangled wires on the ground, Fu Ze carried the cable to another host and plugged it in.
The crackling sound of electricity that rang out again was familiar to Snake Eyes, but the scene that immediately appeared where the holographic image had been extinguished... it was even more familiar!
What does this place look like?!
Fu Ze's next action confirmed Snake Eyes's guess.
Holding a curved hook he'd gotten from who-knows-where, he came out of the room and immediately turned the camera that was originally facing another direction around.
The image displayed on the holographic image on that side also changed accordingly, finally settling on the Demon Lizard 757.
The man then tossed the hook aside and tapped twice on his phone.
Sitting in the car, Snake Eyes noticed that the Magic Lizard 757's audio system had switched to external resonance mode.
He sensed that something terrible was about to happen.
Is this person going to...?!
With everything in place, Fu Ze took a step and stood on the hood of the Magic Lizard 757, placing himself right in the center of the surveillance camera's view.
During the previous extreme escape, the original owner's old hair tie had long been lost by Fu Ze.
The night wind blowing from below made his loose orange-red hair dance wildly, like a cluster of flames dancing in the neon lights.
Taking the Bluetooth earphones that were originally hanging on his ears and placing them in front of his lips, Fu Ze took a deep breath, feeling the refreshing coolness of the extremely clean air in the V City night sky rushing into his lungs, and then exhaled and shouted:
"Yuan Jianxing! Look here!"
"Yuan Jianxing! Come here quickly!"
"Yuan Jianxing! I'm waiting for you!"
The surveillance camera operated silently, capturing Fu Ze's every move completely.
The real-time image data stream travels rapidly along the cable, undergoes real-time rendering processing by the central host, and is finally projected onto the holographic screen in mid-air, where it complements the other three virtual images that are still working normally.
Just then, the promotional video came to an end, and countless fireworks bloomed in the night sky. Golden specks of light fell behind Fu Ze, tracing a dazzling trajectory. Dozens of virtual Kongming lanterns slowly rose, their warm yellow glow enveloping him.
His bright orange hair burned even more brilliantly in the interplay of light and shadow, as if it were setting the air around him ablaze.
Fu Ze's words were picked up by the Bluetooth monitoring headphones and played out by the Magic Lizard 757's speakers, echoing repeatedly among the towering buildings and eventually converging into a continuous echo, as if the entire city was repeating his call for him.
No matter how glib Snake Eyes usually was, he didn't know how to evaluate Fu Ze's actions at this moment.
After a long pause, he managed to utter only one sentence: "You're really something, kid."
To be honest, this method of "finding people" is indeed so high-profile that it's almost absurd.
As soon as Fu Ze finished speaking, a crowd of onlookers, unaware of the facts, had already gathered downstairs at the Fengyue Building.
As soon as Fu Ze finished speaking his second sentence, those who were pointing and whispering with their heads held high began to weave all sorts of bizarre speculations from their own whispers.
For example, a man named Yuan Jianxing owed a huge debt of gratitude, forcing his creditors to resort to this sensational method to demand an explanation.
As Fu Ze finished speaking his third sentence, a live video of the scene was posted on social media, and the hashtag #TheMan'sCallOnTheFengyueBuilding# quickly climbed to the top of the trending topics list.
Soon, a capable person recognized the true identity of the body Fu Ze was using.
But no matter what they might think, no one would dare to associate the person this obscure internet celebrity was publicly addressing with Yuan Jianxing, the CEO of V City.
...V City is so big, with tens of millions of people living here, it's perfectly normal for there to be dozens of people with the same name or one or two people with the same name.
However, even setting aside the identity of the person being addressed, the unconventional approach of the person making the call is enough to give rise to countless speculations.
How did these two meet? What happened between them? Is this a prelude to a reconciliation or a desperate declaration of love? Was there a third party involved or family interference?
Fu Ze's every move and every glance was paused, screenshotted, magnified, and scrutinized by netizens.
Of all the discussions, the most intriguing question is:
Has Yuan Jianxing himself seen this news? How will he respond to this city-wide outcry?
*
In terms of results, Fu Ze's action strategy was very effective, even too effective.
Inside the heavy loader, Mu Wangzhuo sat upright, gripping the control lever. He glanced sideways at Yuan Jianxing, who had just been frantically searching for the Demon Lizard 757 that had stolen Snake Eyes from the transfer hub and escaped, and asked with slight hesitation, "Are you... going?"
Although that's what he asked, Mu Wangzhuo felt that Yuan Jianxing would definitely reject this blatant trap and choose a more cautious approach.
"Go, why not go?" Yuan Jianxing reached out and pulled the control stick, reclaiming driving control from the system AI.
? ? ?
Mu Wangzhuo wondered if it was just his imagination, but this seemed to be the first time in all the time he had known Yuan Jianxing that he had heard him speak with such a sense of gritted teeth.
