He glanced at the three of them. "This is a dangerous place. The security system is tight, and there might be a 'scavenger' infiltrated. A forceful attack is impossible. The only way is to dismantle it from within."
The study fell into a brief silence, with only the faint hum of equipment.
"Internal..." Ning Xiuyuan pondered, his fingers tapping unconsciously on the table, "Dad has reservations about me. I can't access the core authority. The security system is independent and managed by his confidants. Conventional means are difficult to break through."
Ning Xiwan's eyes flashed with coldness: "Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. If we're going to have fun, let's have a big one."
"Do you have a solution?" Ning Xiuyan immediately looked at her, with no more contempt in his eyes, only trust in the "ruthless person".
Ning Xiwan raised the corner of her mouth in a cold and dangerous arc, and her gaze turned to the brightly lit manor fortress outside the window.
"On the eighth day of next month, Dad's fiftieth birthday will be celebrated. As usual, a grand banquet will be held at the Ning residence. That's when security may appear to be the tightest, but in reality, people's hearts are at their most unstable, and there may be a brief gap in defense."
Duan Shuce's eyes were as sharp as an eagle behind his glasses: "A feint to the east and attack in the west? You want to do it on the night of the birthday banquet?"
"Not entirely." Ning Xiwan shook her head, her eyes frighteningly calm. "We need an 'accident' that's significant enough to attract everyone's attention, to create chaos and provide an alibi. At the same time, we need someone with unimpeded access to the core area."
Her gaze fell on Ning Xiuyan.
Ning Xiuyan was stunned for a moment, then he understood. His expression changed, and was quickly replaced by a desperate ruthlessness: "Me? You want me to..."
"You, the second young master of the Ning family, the most 'useless' and 'playful' son."
Ning Xiwan's voice was icy. "You entering the Ning's building and approaching the underground area won't arouse too much vigilance...especially if you have a sufficiently 'reasonable' and 'dandy' reason to attract the attention of security."
Ning Xiuyan's mouth twitched, but his eyes lit up. "For example... I was jealous of a certain tycoon's son over a new celebrity, and we got into a fight at a birthday party, and 'accidentally' set off the fire alarm?"
"You are a teachable boy." Ning Xiwan rarely gave him a look of affirmation.
"The chaos was created by Xiu Yan and me." Ning Xiuyuan continued his thought and looked at Duan Shuce, "I will use the excuse of entertaining guests to keep my parents and my closest confidants in the banquet hall."
"At the same time, I'll use my authority to 'need' to enter the data center to handle the 'sudden global trading system failure' when chaos occurs. This will buy you a window of opportunity to enter the computer room. But to enter the underground laboratory... I don't have the authorization card."
"Give me the access card." Duan Shuce's voice was convincingly calm. "National Security has top electronic warfare experts and infiltration equipment. As long as we create chaos to distract most of the security personnel, and buy me fifteen minutes to enter the building, I can solve the access control problem."
He looked at her and said, "Come with me. Only you can identify and obtain key data the fastest, especially the multi-encrypted biometric information."
"Okay." Ning Xiwan said without hesitation.
"What about me? After creating chaos?" Ning Xiuyan asked anxiously.
"Your mission is the most important and the most dangerous."
Ning Xiwan looked at him.
"At the height of the chaos, while 'escorting' the celebrity you 'harassed' to safety, I drove my car into... the gate on the west side of Ning's residence leading to the backup generator room and the outer security booth."
Ning Xiuyan gasped: "Bang the door? And then?"
"Then," Ning Xiwan's eyes were cold.
"You have been 'subdued' and 'temporarily detained' by 'angry' security. In the holding cell next to the monitoring room, use the micro-device on your person to copy as many surveillance logs and communication records as possible from that night! They are the key to proving they tampered with and destroyed evidence afterwards!"
Ning Xiuyan swallowed his saliva, nervous but also excited and fierce at being entrusted with an important task: "Damn it... I did it! But..."
He looked at Ning Xiwan with a complicated expression, "Can we really defeat them? Dad has been running this for so many years..."
"Justice may be late, but it will never be absent."
Ning Xiuyuan said in a deep voice, picking up the file bag.
"Over the years, I've collected more than just fragments. Overseas, I'm not completely unprepared. Top international independent investigative media, NGOs that hate 'scavengers,' and even the biosafety departments of some major countries all have clues."
"As long as we get the core evidence, these forces will pounce on us like sharks smelling blood! No matter how powerful the Ning family is, it can't withstand such a storm! Not to mention..."
He looked at Duan Shuce and said, "We still have the trump card of national power."
Duan Shuce nodded, his eyes as firm as a rock. "Once the core chain of evidence is formed, the National Security Bureau will immediately launch the highest-level 'Network Cleansing' operation. None of the 'scavengers' and the demons behind them will escape."
Under the light, four hands - Ning Xiuyuan's steady and powerful hands, Ning Xiwan's hands with thin calluses but incomparably firm, Ning Xiuyan's hands that were slightly trembling but clenched into fists, and Duan Shuce's hands with distinct joints that represented absolute strength - overlapped with each other.
There were no grand words, only a resolute flame that was enough to burn away the darkness when their eyes met.
