Chapter 60: Gu Sheng didn't go anywhere; he spent the day at home...
Gu Sheng didn't go anywhere and spent the day at home, during which he asked Xiao Yi to buy him a plane ticket to L City.
If you're going to put on a show, you have to go all the way; the essentials should be included.
The next day, Gu Sheng arrived as agreed with Xia Yunzhou, but he didn't rush to leave.
He remained in his room and did not go anywhere.
During this time, he hacked into the internal network of the L City Power Supply Bureau using his computer and secretly embedded a pre-prepared program into it.
These programs, along with that "resistance," are enough to give Baiyu Bio a great gift.
These programs are automatically destroyed after use, leaving nothing behind.
The method to start the program is also very simple: just enter four zeros anywhere on the Gu Sheng mobile phone and then click OK.
Having done all this, Gu Sheng began to wait patiently for the right opportunity.
It was a quiet day. Xia Yunzhou seemed to have given up on urging Gu Sheng and didn't call all day.
As night fell, Gu Sheng ate something casually, then took a shower, planning to go to bed afterward.
The sound of water in the bathroom was so loud that it almost drowned out everything else.
However, Gu Sheng still keenly heard faint footsteps coming from outside the door.
Gu Sheng listened quietly for a while, then narrowed his eyes slightly.
The footsteps sounded like Xia Yunzhou's; the others were probably his bodyguards.
Gu Sheng wondered what Xia Yunzhou might do after he had repeatedly declined his offer, but he never expected that Xia Yunzhou would come directly to him.
However, it's not a big problem. Gu Sheng is always cautious, and he has already dealt with anything that might arouse suspicion.
After finding out who it was, Gu Sheng was no longer in a hurry. He leisurely finished his shower, put on his pajamas, and then walked out of the bathroom.
Gu Sheng acted as if he hadn't noticed anything, and walked towards the bed after leaving the bathroom.
Just then, a familiar voice appeared: "Are you done washing?"
Gu Sheng looked in the direction of the sound and saw Xia Yunzhou sitting in a chair by the window. He looked as if he had just noticed him and said with wide eyes, "President Xia, what are you doing here?"
Xia Yunzhou, still wearing sunglasses and headphones, snorted coldly: "Isn't it because we can't get Mr. Gu to come? Mr. Gu has been slacking off time and time again, and as his leader, I really can't just sit idly by."
Gu Sheng frowned slightly and said, "That's no reason for you to enter my room at will, Director Xia."
Xia Yunzhou laughed: "Is there something you're hiding in your room?"
Gu Sheng didn't speak, but took a step toward Xia Yunzhou. Then he heard the sound of a gun being cocked behind him.
Gu Sheng stopped what he was doing, turned around to look at his opponent, and found that there were four or five guns on his head.
Gu Sheng stretched out his hands to indicate that he was not carrying any weapons, then looked at Xia Yunzhou with a mournful expression: "What is Director Xia trying to do?"
Xia Yunzhou tapped the armrest of the chair with his fingers intermittently.
“Executive Officer Gu, I value talent and have always been very lenient with you, but you seem very uncooperative. It is such a simple task, yet you keep making excuses.”
Xia Yunzhou looked at Gu Sheng expressionlessly: "The way you are makes it hard for me to believe you."
"While I value talent, I value life even more. My methods for dealing with unstable factors have always been simple, and you should understand what I mean."
Gu Sheng said with a serious expression, "I naturally understand you. I am also actively planning for the task you gave me."
Xia Yunzhou sneered: "Is that so? Then let me see what you've come up with so far."
Gu Sheng didn't speak, but just glanced at the bedside table.
Xia Yunzhou glanced at Gu Sheng, then gestured to Gu Sheng's bodyguard to check the bedside table.
A man in black walked out from behind Gu Sheng, opened the bedside table, took out a plane ticket and a stack of documents, and handed them to Xia Yunzhou.
The plane ticket was the one Xiao Yi bought, and the documents were information related to the director of the L City Public Security Bureau that Gu Sheng found after hacking into the L City government's internal website.
Some of this information is public, and some is not, but Xia Yunzhou must have already obtained information of this caliber long ago.
Gu Sheng typed these out in case of emergency.
Now this is coming in handy!
Xia Yunzhou took the items and looked through them.
The flight is for 9 a.m. tomorrow, and the documents are related to the L City Police Department; they do seem legitimate.
Xia Yunzhou glanced at Gu Sheng, then scanned the room.
The room was simply furnished and could be seen at a glance. Eventually, his gaze settled on a table to the side.
There was a laptop on the table, and a mobile phone charging next to it.
Xia Yunzhou glanced at his phone, then at Gu Sheng, and then picked up his phone.
Gu Sheng looked reluctant: "President Gu, even though you are the president, you don't have the right to arbitrarily check employees' mobile phones."
Xia Yunzhou said, "Who said I didn't?" He tossed his phone around. "Or is there something shady on your phone?"
Gu Sheng's phone certainly contained a lot of things he didn't want to be seen, but he disguised them and encrypted them layer by layer to ensure that no one would find out.
If you insist on breaking these encryptions, those things will be automatically destroyed.
The same applies to computers.
Gu Sheng wasn't afraid of Xia Yunzhou investigating, but he still had to put on an act.
Hearing Xia Yunzhou's words, Gu Sheng said somewhat excitedly, "What do you mean by 'shady business'? I've done nothing wrong, you can investigate me as you please."
Xia Yunzhou didn't respond to Gu Sheng's words. He simply tapped his phone screen, which displayed a message asking for a password.
Xia Yunzhou looked at Gu Sheng and said, "Password." He then asked Gu Sheng to give him the password.
Gu Sheng paused for a moment, then said, "I advise you not to look at it. There's really nothing interesting on my phone."
Xia Yunzhou remained silent, but his eyes turned cold.
Gu Sheng's skilled bodyguards pressed guns directly against his head.
Gu Sheng didn't move, glanced back, and then sighed: "Four zeros."
Xia Yunzhou narrowed his eyes, seemingly not believing that the password could be so simple.
Gu Sheng said expressionlessly, "Why don't you try it and you'll know if it's right or not?"
Xia Yunzhou lowered his head, typed four zeros on his phone, and clicked confirm. The screen then became his phone's home screen.
At this moment, neither Gu Sheng nor Xia Yunzhou, who was standing nearby and had his head down, saw that Gu Sheng's lips twitched twice, as if he wanted to laugh, but in the end he didn't.
This is so interesting.
After Xia Yunzhou clicked "confirm," the program started successfully.
Gu Sheng turned to look at the window. Although the curtains were drawn, he could faintly hear the sound of rain outside.
It's raining.
As Gu Sheng looked out the window, a bolt of lightning flashed, illuminating the view outside, followed by a deafening clap of thunder.
Xia Yunzhou flipped through Gu Sheng's phone but found nothing unusual, or rather, it was too clean.
The text messages were just a bunch of useless spam, and the call logs only contained records of people related to the bank, with Xiao Yi being the most frequent contact.
Besides that, there are just a bunch of mobile games.
There was nothing else.
Xia Yunzhou directly pointed out that there was a problem here.
However, he wasn't in a hurry. He didn't plan to leave empty-handed this time; he would take his phone and computer back to investigate them thoroughly.
Xia Yunzhou looked at Gu Sheng and saw that Gu Sheng was looking at the curtains, so he asked, "What are you looking at?"
Gu Sheng turned his head and said, "It's nothing, I was just wondering if the plane will be able to take off on time tomorrow morning with all this rain."
"Hmph, when did Executive Officer Gu become so proactive?"
Gu Sheng gave a bright smile: "I've always been very proactive in following your arrangements, you must trust me. I promise that once we arrive in L City, I will complete your task as quickly as possible, and I will do it cleanly and beautifully."
"Really? Then I'll wait for good news."
In fact, whether Gu Sheng does the task or not, and whether he does it well or not, is not important.
This task was given to him by the organization behind Xia Yunzhou, so naturally he wouldn't just hand it over to someone he didn't trust.
He had other plans for this task, and sending Gu Sheng was just to find someone to take the blame.
Of course, it was also true that he wanted to see Gu Sheng's loyalty.
However, besides loyalty, he also wanted to assess Gu Sheng's strength.
If Gu Sheng gets completely trapped and can't escape, then it means that's all Gu Sheng is capable of, and I overestimated him before.
If Gu Sheng manages to escape successfully, it means that Gu Sheng does indeed have some ability. Afterwards, we can observe Gu Sheng's performance to determine whether Gu Sheng is loyal to him and whether he is usable.
Keep what you can use, and get rid of what you can't.
Killing two birds with one stone, a very good plan.
However, Gu Sheng's repeated delays made Xia Yunzhou very unhappy.
He came today to give Gu Sheng a warning; if Gu Sheng continues with his previous attitude, he will simply get rid of him.
However, after seeing that plane ticket, he felt he could continue to observe the situation.
Xia Yunzhou placed his phone on the laptop: "Take this."
The bodyguards obeyed and picked up their phones and laptops.
Gu Sheng pretended to stop him, but Xia Yunzhou glanced at the bodyguard next to Gu Sheng, and then a cell phone appeared in Gu Sheng's outstretched hand.
Xia Yunzhou: "Use this to contact me from now on. As for your phone and computer, I'll borrow them for now and return them to you later." As for what they'll be used for, that's for the professionals to check, of course.
Gu Sheng took the phone that was handed to him and watched as the man in black took away his phone and computer.
Xia Yunzhou stood up and left with his bodyguards.
Gu Sheng watched their retreating figures and said, "Don't break it, you must return it."
After Xia Yunzhou disappeared, Gu Sheng instantly composed himself.
He opened it to his hand, his fingers rapidly tapping the screen.
He quickly found three tracking apps on his phone. These apps were hidden deeper and deeper than the last, but they were not difficult for Gu Sheng to find.
He then returned to his room, took out his toolbox, disassembled the phone, and unsurprisingly found a locator and a bugging device inside.
Without any hesitation, Gu Sheng deleted the program, removed and destroyed the locator and the bugging device, and then restored everything to its original state.
It's just getting a new phone, it's not a big deal.
After doing all this, Gu Sheng walked to the window and, for the first time in a long time, drew back the curtains. Outside, the wind and rain were raging, and Gu Sheng's gaze pierced through the rain to look into the distance.
I wonder how L City is doing now.
The headquarters building of Baiyu Bio must look amazing now, it must be sparkling with fireworks.
Unfortunately, the live stream is not available.
After leaving Gu Sheng's place, Xia Yunzhou made a phone call to the assassin he had arranged to kill the director of the L City Public Security Bureau.
Because of Gu Sheng, the assassination has already been delayed again and again, and it can't be delayed any longer. Regardless of whether Gu Sheng leaves tomorrow or not, the assassination will be scheduled for tomorrow.
After the call connected, before the other end could speak, Xia Yunzhou said, "We'll make our move tomorrow night."
After speaking, Xia Yunzhou did not receive the answer he wanted. The person on the other end of the phone seemed very excited and quickly reported what was happening to Xia Yunzhou.
Xia Yunzhou paused for a moment after hearing this, then repeated uncertainly, "What do you mean, 'Baiyu Biotechnology exploded'?"
"It didn't explode? Then what was it?"
"High voltage?"
Xia Yunzhou suddenly remembered something and asked, "What about the things inside? The research data, the researchers, and the test subjects?"
As Xia Yunzhou listened to the report from the other end, his eyes widened. Suddenly, he lost control and shouted, "Who did this?"
“What do you mean you don’t know? Investigate, investigate, investigate right now. Find out who it is, chop him up and feed him to the fish. No, chopping him up is too easy for him,” he said in a sinister voice. “Find out who it is, and then bring him to me.”
"What assassination mission? What kind of assassination is this? Go find the person in charge. I have to find the culprit for you."
At this moment, Xia Yunzhou had completely lost his usual composure; he was now filled with extreme anger.
After hanging up the phone, the bodyguard sitting next to him cautiously looked at Xia Yunzhou, whose face was growing increasingly dark, and said, "Mr. Xia, the meeting later..."
Xia Yunzhou glared at him: "Meeting? What meeting? What kind of meeting is this? Turn around and go home, right now."
He nervously bit his nails.
The person who just reported said that just now, sparks suddenly appeared at the headquarters of Baiyu Biotechnology, followed by an explosion, and then the entire building caught fire. The incident happened very quickly, and no one has come out yet. The situation inside the building is currently unknown.
The fire department has been dispatched.
Xia Yunzhou took out his phone and searched, quickly finding several videos of the scene.
In this age of widespread internet access, anyone can be a first witness and post what they see online.
I don't know why, but these videos have a lot of noise and flicker, as if they were shot with a phone with very poor resolution.
Judging from the video, the fire didn't seem big, and it was quickly brought under control.
There is a fire brigade inside the park where Baiyu Bio is located, so the situation was handled relatively quickly. However, in the video, you can hear people anxiously warning those around them not to get close.
It seems there is still some danger that has not been eliminated.
Xia Yunzhou is currently in City A and has no way of getting firsthand information from the scene. He can only pray that the fire will not affect the normal operation of Baiyu Biotechnology.
Watching the video, Xia Yunzhou inexplicably thought of Gu Sheng.
Considering Gu Sheng's negative attitude over the past two days, he began to suspect that Gu Sheng might have been behind this.
However, Gu Sheng is in City A, which is so far away from City L.
To say that Gu Sheng was remotely controlling things, let's not even talk about the fact that it had only been a few days since he received the mission, which was not enough time to organize an attack. In the past few days, Xia Yunzhou had been sending people to follow Gu Sheng, but Gu Sheng had not done anything strange.
Moreover, Gu Sheng was with Xia Yunzhou just now, with so many guns pointed at him, so there was nothing he could do.
Xia Yunzhou shook his head. Although Gu Sheng was very suspicious, there was really no evidence to prove it.
We'll have to wait for the results of the subsequent investigation to find out the specifics.
However, given the recent incident involving Baiyu Biotechnology, Xia Yunzhou was hesitant to send Gu Sheng to L City, where Baiyu Biotechnology was located.
So, as Gu Sheng lay down on the bed, he received a message from Xia Yunzhou. Xia Yunzhou said that the mission time was postponed and that Gu Sheng should not take any action for the time being, but wait for his notification.
Gu Sheng smiled as he looked at the message; things were going more smoothly than he had imagined.
Gu Sheng closed the message, and then the videos that Xia Yunzhou had just watched appeared on the screen.
Judging from the video alone, the situation doesn't seem serious.
However, Gu Sheng knew that only those on the scene truly understood the situation.
Let's go back to when Xia Yunzhou pressed the confirm button.
L City, the headquarters of Baiyu Biotechnology at night.
In places unseen by ordinary people, a group of researchers in white coats are working.
Before them lay corpses preserved in formalin, cut open and connected to various instruments.
These corpses were experimental subjects while they were alive. They endured inhuman torture at various experimental bases and eventually died according to the researchers' arrangements before being sent here.
All of Baiyu Bio's research findings are built upon the suffering of these experimental subjects.
Every researcher here has worked at the experimental base, which they call the front line, a great place to gain experience.
As for the suffering of the test subjects, it was all for scientific research, and it was a worthwhile sacrifice.
Today, these researchers went to work as usual.
One of the female researchers recounted an incident: "A few days ago, when I went to the restroom, I saw people lingering outside the company."
The person standing next to her frowned: "Isn't it forbidden to stay outside the company at night? Are those security guards just sitting around doing nothing?"
He looked at the female researcher: "Do you remember what that stranded person looked like?"
The female researcher said, "I remember, I know her. She was in my group before I left the company."
The person standing next to her said, "She saw you?"
The female researcher said, "Maybe."
The person standing next to her said, "In that case, we can't keep her. Let's transfer her to the experimental base first."
The female researcher said, "She's not one of us; she can't stay at the experimental base."
The person standing next to her said coldly, "Can't stand it? Then we can do it another way. If you don't want to be a researcher, then be the one being researched."
The female researcher wasn't surprised by the man's decision. She opened her mouth, about to say something, when she suddenly heard a "bang".
The overhead lights went out, plunging the entire laboratory into darkness.
The other person said, "How come..." He stopped before he could finish his sentence.
Because the darkness did not last long, or rather, it was only for a moment, and after the darkness, the whole building was lit up again.
It was just lit up, not a light.
