They launch it either early or late, right after he gets home, making it seem like someone's watching him.
"Your Excellency, this bugging device doesn't have a location tracking function, does it?"
"No, all the signals sent before were in a single communication signal electromagnetic band, and no second signal band was detected."
"That's strange. Why did they activate the bugging device as soon as I got home?"
"Maybe they saw it."
"See? Those listening devices don't have cameras."
"They may have seen you or your vehicle on your way home, thus predicting when you will arrive home."
Gao Ang nodded in sudden realization, then said angrily, "It means they're using a two-pronged approach now, not only to listen to my voice but also to see me in person! That's going too far! Doesn't that mean I have no privacy at all?"
"Sir, please don't worry. I've checked the hotel check-in records along your route back, and I didn't find any information about that person. Either they switched to someone else to listen in, or the place they stayed wasn't connected to the internet, like a guesthouse."
"It's unlikely they'd change personnel; they haven't met me before... If they have other surveillance points, that would explain why the bugging devices were switched off as soon as I arrived near that hotel last time... These people seem to be more than just ordinary; could they be from Bureau 303?"
"Probably not. Their conversation last time basically ruled them out as suspects."
Gao Ang nodded. That time, he deliberately let Xiao Hua scratch him, using an unintentional little accident to dispel the other party's doubts.
If they see any artificiality in their performance, they won't so easily let their guard down.
"Can the eavesdropping signals be traced?"
"It will take a little more time; I'm working hard to learn. I expect to be able to solve this problem within two days."
Okay, then let's wait two more days.
In the past two days, Gao Ang has been using his free time to continue training his various abilities, especially his newly discovered sonic attack capabilities.
His sonic attack capability can actually be described as a subsonic weapon.
Tests using a frequency analyzer revealed that the sound he emitted under specific conditions had multiple frequency bands.
In other words, when air flows out of the lungs and passes through the vocal cords, causing them to vibrate, the vocal cords will be in different relaxed states due to the action of the laryngeal muscles.
When vocal cords in different states are impacted by airflows of varying force, they produce sounds of different frequency bands.
Some of these frequencies are below 20Hz, which are infrasound.
After experimentation, Gao Ang did not detect ultrasound in his own voice, so the only thing that killed those fish and shrimp must have been infrasound.
Due to the dangers of infrasound, the location where he conducted his experiments was somewhat unusual.
He dug a three-meter-deep hole in the courtyard behind the main building and covered the hole walls with cotton and other soft fibrous materials.
Although these things don't have particularly good effects, they're better than nothing.
Moreover, when he conducts experiments, he always tries to direct the sound waves towards the ground.
The subjects of his experiments were small animals he caught from the sea or grass, including fish, shrimp, insects, and even mice.
After two days of experimentation, during which 148 animals of various kinds died or were injured, he finally managed to barely master the release and attack patterns of infrasound.
Every animal has its own specific vibration frequency, and even the vibration frequencies of different organs are different.
When he wanted to blind a mouse, he had to emit infrasound waves at the same frequency as the vibration of the mouse's retina and other organs.
At this point, he has to control his laryngeal muscles, keep his vocal cords at a reasonable level of relaxation, and control the airflow from his lungs to a specific intensity.
When this airflow passes through the vocal cords, it emits the infrasound waves he needs, the kind that can blind the little mouse.
The speed at which a mouse goes blind is related to the speed at which air flows through its vocal cords.
The faster the airflow passes through, the higher the density of infrasound, and the shorter the time it takes for the mouse's optic nerve to resonate with these sound waves.
Gao Ang did a statistic and found that, in the fastest time, he could blind a mouse in 3 seconds.
Of course, killing is based on the same principle, except that the target is changed from the eyes to the heart or brain.
During this experiment, he also discovered another ability of his, similar to radar.
The sounds he makes will be reflected to some extent whenever they pass through an obstacle.
When these reflected sound waves reach his ears, his brain builds a new database of them—a database of vibration frequencies.
Once he attacks a mouse, the vibration frequency of every organ in the mouse's body is stored in his database.
Moreover, the sound wave he emitted doesn't necessarily have to be infrasound; even ordinary sounds can be detected by the vibration frequency of objects.
By the time the experiment entered its second phase, he had essentially abandoned the frequency analyzer.
August 5th, Changming Island, sunny;
I've finally managed to get used to the sonic attack mode, and I've even built a small database.
Currently, the recorded vibration frequencies are only those of small animals; large animals have not yet been recorded.
There's no point in recording my own vibration frequency; I need to find another living person.
The vibration frequency should vary slightly between individuals, but the differences should be minor.
With the infrasound weapon, once Chitose breaks through his bottleneck and is able to track those signals, it will be the perfect opportunity to find the mastermind behind the eavesdropping.
Through this experiment, I discovered that I can also change my voice...
This is so much fun!
The principle behind changing sound is similar to that of infrasound.
By receiving other people's voices, determining their frequency and wavelength, and then adjusting one's own vocal cords and airflow accordingly, one can produce a voice that is exactly the same as the target's voice.
"Sir, I can track the signal now."
Chisai's cheerful tone arose from his elevated consciousness.
"Oh, congratulations! Were you able to locate those people?"
"Of course you can. I did a test before. Based on the signal emitted by your phone, I tracked several base stations and finally found the telecom company's data center in your province."
Gao Feng was speechless and quickly asked, "You didn't do anything to cause trouble, did you?"
"No, I was just tracking signals for fun. I still keep the basic principles of being a law-abiding citizen in mind."
"That's good, that's good. Um, let's quickly check where those people are."
"We've found them. We'll send them to you right away, sir. You'd never guess where they're."
Chisui was right. After the people monitoring them checked out of that hotel, they actually moved to Changming Island, right at the entrance to the island, a maximum of seven kilometers away from their compound.
"Are these people just incredibly skilled and daring, or do they think we're fools?"
I think it's the former.
“It can’t be the latter. Take another look at the facilities around them, or check their network for any other listening devices. I’ll go visit them tonight.”
According to Gao's recollection, the entrance to the island seemed to be a supermarket and a small gas station, but there was no suitable place to stay.
"Sir, there are drones overhead, and not just one, but three. I checked their drone footage, and they are basically patrolling 24 hours a day. In addition, there are six surveillance cameras around them, and they are the infrared type."
"I didn't expect it. The investment was quite large, but to me, these electronic instruments are all useless."
"But if you get too close, they will definitely detect you beforehand. If they suddenly malfunction when you get within a certain range, wouldn't you become even more suspicious?"
Qian Sui's words made a lot of sense, which made Gao Ang hesitate a bit.
But if we don't go, we'll never know who's behind it all.
“If we can hack their surveillance equipment, then you won’t be exposed.”
Are you sure you can do it?
"It wasn't possible before, but it is now."
"...By the way, you said you can track signals, so can you find out who their contacts are?"
"No, they are very cunning. The place where they post the information is a stock community called 'Eastmoney.com'. The recipients of the information do not need to do anything. They can see the information as long as they open the website. Moreover, the stock community has a huge traffic, more than 100 million visits a day. It is impossible to locate who the recipient is."
Eastmoney.com... I vaguely remember Gao Ang, the stronghold of the Lhasa retail investor group. Could the mastermind behind this be a large speculative investor?
That shouldn't be the case; I have no connection with stocks...
"Forget it, let's see if we can get anything out of these people."
It wasn't until 11:30 p.m., after Chitose confirmed that there was no one else in the supermarket, that Gao Ang left the courtyard.
Xiaohua stayed at home, squatting next to the bugging device in the kitchen, occasionally letting out a few chirps to confuse the enemy.
Following the route provided by Chisui, Gao Ang quickly approached the supermarket.
"Your Majesty, you can make their screens go black."
The reason for choosing this time is that if we made them turn off their screens earlier, it would alert them.
Upon receiving the 'OK' confirmation message from Chisui, Gao Ang emerged from the darkness and activated his magnetic and gravitational fields.
Instantly, all electronic and electromagnetic wave signals within a 500-meter radius around the area came to a standstill.
"Old Liu, why is the power out?"
"I don't know, the backup power supply hasn't started either."
"Grab your weapons, just in case."
Holy crap, there are other guys here?
Gao Ang was startled and stopped in his tracks. After listening carefully for a while, he finally felt relieved.
Their so-called "grabbing weapons" was just taking a few stun guns, but unfortunately, in the high magnetic field, these stun guns were no different from fire pokers.
"Old Liu, did you forget to charge it?" This likely refers to the stun gun.
"No, I checked it before dark, and it was making a crackling sound."
"Forget it, let's go back to our seats. Damn it, my phone's broken too?"
Gao Feng couldn't help but laugh out loud. These idiots.
"who?"
A voice came from the supermarket entrance, sounding particularly clear in the quiet night.
Fortunately, it was the middle of the night. There were few residents on Changming Island, and there were no other neighbors within 500 meters of the supermarket. Gao Ang no longer hid himself. Wearing a helmet, he quickly climbed to the second-floor roof using both hands and feet.
There happened to be someone there, and before he could react, Gao Ang knocked him unconscious with a single punch.
He dared not use infrasound in an open area.
Upon hearing their companion fall to the ground, the other two men grabbed stun guns and headed upstairs.
Fortunately, they were still somewhat rational and didn't rush to the roof without thinking.
Gao Ang carried the stun gun he had picked up and slowly made his way to the second floor.
There was no moonlight or streetlights outside the window, and the room was pitch black.
One of them hid at the bottom of the stairs, and the other hid behind the wardrobe.
"Bang"
Gao Ang knocked down the person who had ambushed him with a single punch and walked towards the wardrobe.
Faced with absolute power, all techniques are mere fancy moves.
It's clear that these three people have undergone special training, and their strength, speed, and skills are far superior to Liu Zhuo's.
But compared to Gao Feng, everything else is useless.
"I have a few questions. Once I understand them, I'll leave. I won't harm you."
Sitting down on the chair in front of the wardrobe, Gao Ang spoke to it in a modified voice.
"What do you want to know?" the person behind the wardrobe asked, feigning toughness.
"Where did the original owner of this supermarket go? How much did you pay to take over this store? And what is your purpose in taking over this store? Tell me the truth, don't lie to me, or you'll suffer the consequences."
Upon hearing this question, the person behind the wardrobe was visibly taken aback. "That's all?"
"Just tell me if I ask you. My temper won't always be this good."
“That family took five million from us before, and now they’ve moved to Yinqiao Magnolia Garden, the specific address is XX. As for why we came here, it’s just for some peace and quiet.”
"Thump"
Gao Ang slammed his fist on the table, smashing the computer screen to pieces.
"Three old men come here to spend their old age in peace? I'll give you one more chance. If you still try to fool me, I'll throw all three of you into the sea to feed the turtles, and make you a pair of one and a half best buddies."
The man behind the wardrobe felt like he'd been ripped off. He'd finally retired from a foreign mercenary group and returned home to find a good job eavesdropping on people—high pay and low risk.
Who would have thought that they would encounter such a pervert, and the security measures for the three of them were completely destroyed in a muddle?
What made him feel most powerless was that he had no chance to resist at all; they were all taken down in no time.
“I’m telling the truth. We retired from a foreign mercenary group and just want to come back and live a peaceful life…”
Gao Feng grew impatient, stood up abruptly, and darted behind the wardrobe, giving the man in front of him no chance to resist, slapping him to the ground.
“I gave you a chance, but you didn’t cherish it. You only behaved after drinking some water.”
The supermarket's location is very similar to Gao's courtyard; it's built on the edge of a cliff, with the estuary below.
"I'll give you two more chances. If I feel you're lying to me even once, I'll throw one in. Don't worry, it's seawater down there, so he shouldn't drown anytime soon."
Before the man, still dazed from the loud shouts, could react, he saw one of his comrades being pushed off the platform by the helmeted man.
"thump"
The sound of the water hitting the shore was clearly audible, accompanied by the sound of waves crashing against the coast, creating an exceptionally terrifying atmosphere.
"You only have one minute. After that, I can't guarantee his life or death."
Gao Ang pulled the smelly sock out of his mouth and gave him a warning.
“Someone gave us money to monitor someone in the northeast corner.”
"who?"
"I don't know who that person is, he was just a bald man with a cat..."
“I’m not interested in baldness, I’m talking about who’s paying you.”
“I don’t know. His power is terrifying. He knows everything about us. You should rescue him first. Whatever you want to know, I will tell you everything.”
The man spoke very quickly, as if he was afraid that speaking too slowly would delay the time needed to save his companion.
"Don't even think about running away, my energy is terrifying too."
Gao Ang would never harm anyone, and even if the man said nothing, he would still go to save him.
He stood up immediately, leaped into the water, and found the unfortunate guy right away. He grabbed him and carried him to the flat ground in less than 30 seconds by following the protrusions on the cliff.
The middle-aged man was utterly dumbfounded. He boasted that all three of his brothers were quite skilled, and that three or five burly men wouldn't be able to get close to them.
But even if they trained for another ten years, it would be difficult for someone like the helmeted man to jump down and climb back up so easily.
Once the person who had fallen into the water regained consciousness, Gao Ang continued, "Tell me, who was that person?"
“We had just returned to China when he started targeting us. We kept receiving all sorts of messages on our phones. At first, we thought it was a prank, until he sent us all our family information and even threatened to kill our whole family if we didn’t work for him. That’s when we realized how terrifying he was. We had no choice but to accept his offer to help him monitor that bald man.”
"Bald? Who is Baldy? Is he a high-ranking government official or some kind of highly skilled technical person?" Gao Ang asked.
"I don't know. We just monitor him and report his daily behavior and whereabouts truthfully. That's all we know."
Gao Ang pondered for a moment, then asked, "How is the owner of that supermarket doing now?"
His tone was very low, as if he owed them something.
"It's great. I have a house and money, and I can travel whenever I want. I'm living a very good life."
The middle-aged man assumed the helmeted man was someone related to the supermarket owner, and fearing his answer might displease him, he kept praising the family, saying they were kind-hearted and hadn't asked for too much money.
"Hmph, what's the use of giving someone more money if you've driven them away from their place of origin? How will they even contact you?"
“We’ve never met. The money is all in cash, which is then translated using a special codebook on Eastmoney.com and posted to randomly selected stock communities.”
"random?"
"Yes, the stock that hit the daily limit up, the one with the highest trading volume."
Gao Ang was speechless. There are many ways to transmit codes, but this was the first time he had ever heard of such a method.
But thinking about it carefully, this person is really not simple.
Stocks that hit their daily limit are easily identifiable; they appear almost every day.
The stock with the highest trading volume tends to have more retail investors and more discussion threads.
This ensures that even if someone knows their contact information, it will be difficult to find the real person behind the scenes among these spokespeople.
That's absolutely amazing!
However, if this continues, it means that Chitose can narrow down the scope of the investigation.
It's difficult to trace thousands of stock communities, but it's much easier to track down a single one.
"Where's the codebook?"
"It's also random. The novel featured prominently on the homepage of Qidian.com, if the first one doesn't work, it will be moved to the next one. If none of the three work, then it will look at the editor's recommendations, and so on..."
“…Wow, I’m fucking impressed. You guys can continue your surveillance. I’m scared of your boss’s perverse sense of humor… Oh, right,” Gao Ang added before leaving, “Don’t disturb that family’s life. Just pretend I was never here, understand?”
"Let me know."
After a whole night of work, we came up with absolutely no valuable clues.
It's not that there are no clues; at least one clue has been found that has a chance of leading to the real culprit.
"Your Excellency, if that's the case, are you able to pinpoint the specific poster or person who viewed the post?"
"It should be possible, as long as his computer skills are not as good as mine."
"What's the meaning?"
"If he uses a botnet to cover his IP address and jumps through multiple hops, it will be very difficult for me to track him down. It's very likely that he will close the webpage or turn off the computer before I can catch him."
"Let's try our best. What if we're lucky and he doesn't use botnets?"
"I hope so."
The main reason Gao Ang didn't deal with those three people was that he didn't want to attract the attention of the person behind them.
Moreover, if he were to get rid of these three people, it would definitely arouse suspicion from all sides.
For example, the municipal bureau would investigate everyone on the entire island, including his small courtyard.
The laboratory on the second floor, the underground hole at the back of the yard, and even the listening devices installed in his house, etc.
He couldn't explain it. The experimental equipment was one thing, he was just playing around with it, but what about the listening device?
If you have no problems, why would they monitor you?
Therefore, after careful consideration, Gao Ang directed and acted in that play himself.
Through a combination of indirect questioning and coercion—no, not coercion, but coercion—they obtained the clues they wanted.
All he needs to do is continue with his usual routine and do what he's supposed to do.
The experiment continued, the noise persisted, and these people kept sending messages to their mastermind, giving Chitose enough time to track down the information.
The following morning, Gao Ang received good news from Qian Sui as soon as he got up.
