Whose stuff is this?
Gao Ang pointed to the ordinary-looking box and asked Liu Qiming a question.
"Please wait a moment, Mr. Gao, let me check the registration list."
While Liu Qiming was reviewing the registration list, Gao Ang contacted Qian Sui.
"Your Excellency, you know what you're supposed to do, right?"
"Understood, sir. Don't worry, I'm checking the logistics information right now."
Gao Yang could say he was obsessed with this smell... no, he could say he loathed it.
That's right, this scent is exactly what Xia Yu smells like.
During this time, his sense of smell became more acute. He could easily detect even the slightest trace of Xia Yu's scent in a confined space.
He had tried to track the guy down by his scent, but after all, the guy came from Bureau 303.
His counter-surveillance awareness is extremely strong; not only his office, but even his residence is kept spotless.
Forget about the smells, this guy sprayed ten thousand tons of air freshener into his house...
"Found it!"
Liu Qiming held up a tablet and gestured to Gao Ang, saying, "It was sent by a man named Fan Jian. Inside is a meteorite from outer space, certified by the Academy of Sciences, which is why we included it in the auction. Mr. Gao, is there any problem?"
Liu Qiming asked cautiously, thinking there was something wrong with the box.
"It's nothing, I was just asking casually. You guys continue, I'm going to the restroom."
After leaving the warehouse, Gao Ang went straight to a restroom with a window.
"Your Excellency, what exactly is going on?"
Gao Feng frowned, opened the window, observed for a while, and then asked.
"When I was tracking the logistics information, I discovered something. There was an unidentified information flow that seemed to be moving around nearby. If I'm not mistaken, this information flow should be the person who was monitoring us back then."
"You mean, Xiamen?"
Gao Ang narrowed his eyes, sensing an aura of conspiracy.
"It should be right, so I followed this information flow to try to find out where he had been and his exact location, but the address was hard to find. This information flow seems to have found me too, but I'm not sure. However, I do know where he went."
As for why Qian Sui couldn't find out the exact location of Xiamen, Gao Ang didn't blame him.
Even he himself couldn't track it down to Xiamen, let alone Qian Sui, who wasn't exactly a complete biological computer.
Where did you go?
"He hacked into Shanghai's surveillance system."
"All of them?"
"Most departments have his backdoors, but the area where he is active now is the very one you are in."
"In my area?"
Leaning against the wall, Gao Feng began receiving the information transmitted by Qian Sui.
Just as Qian Sui said, Xiamen really did hack into all the nearby surveillance cameras.
They took possession of everything, including those from transportation departments, office buildings, and even individual shops and merchants.
"What is he trying to do? Does he have connections with Christie's and want to see how this auction goes? But that doesn't seem likely... Could it be that there's something among these auction items that he's particularly interested in?"
Thinking of this, Gao Ang sent a message to Liu Qiming: Send me a copy of all the auction catalogs, every single one.
A short while later, the catalog of the auction items was sent over.
With a quick glance, Gao Feng was certain that there was nothing special about this place.
If there's anything particularly special, it's the box Xia Yu sent, which contained the meteorite.
Could it be that he was paying attention to that meteorite?
I want to find out who bought that meteorite.
But that shouldn't be the case. Even if he wanted this information, he would have gotten it through the internet.
After a successful auction, Dongxin Auction House will definitely deliver these items to the appropriate recipients through certain channels.
This process makes it impossible to uncover the true identity of the auction winner.
"Then that possibility is ruled out... So what could be the reason? Chitose, is this information flow still ongoing?"
"It's still there, constantly moving around, and the address is extremely unstable. It must be using a lot of redirect servers."
"Can we track it down?"
"Sure, although there will be a slight delay..."
"No problem, just give me his location in real time, we'll go and meet him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Ang disappeared from the spot.
When he reappeared, he was already 10 kilometers away.
"No. 152 Gaoke East Road... No. 33 Zhangdong Road... No. 85 Lijiang Road..."
Within the full range of the field, Gao Feng can reach within ten kilometers in an instant.
Even so, he was still several steps slower than his opponent.
When he arrived at the first location, the other person was already at the third location.
The tracking on Chitose's end is a bit delayed, and his speed can't keep up with the network signal transmission speed...
“You keep tracking it, I’ll see who’s controlling this information flow.”
Shanghai is not a large city, only about 50 kilometers in radius.
His full-force field covers a radius of 10 kilometers. If he wanted, he could imprint all the information of the entire city into his mind within one minute.
Of course, replicating it is one thing, but analyzing it is another.
Floating high in the sky, Gao Long began to analyze the special characteristics of each of these people.
He can skip over those cooking, those sleeping, and those chatting; he only needs to look at those who have a computer or a mobile phone.
"That's not right, all these people are fine, and we haven't found any trace of Xia Yu!"
After wasting nearly half an hour, Gao Ang sighed, feeling somewhat disheartened.
Is Xiamen really that amazing?
Or did he control these cameras through other means?
Even if Xiamen is like them and can transmit magnetic pole data signals, it still needs an interface to enter the network, right?
But the feeling they got from Xiamen was as if he had become one with the internet; he was everywhere, and they couldn't find his real identity at all.
While people are feeling depressed and confused, somewhere else, a dialogue is taking place.
"Sir, we haven't found anything amiss, and Gao Li hasn't made a sound either."
"He didn't go out?"
"No, at least the cameras didn't capture any record of him leaving the house."
"That's not right. Isn't there something wrong with your judgment? Didn't you say it might be a mysterious creature?"
"This is what my subordinates told me, and after our thorough investigation, we found that this person is indeed problematic. Otherwise, I wouldn't have disappeared so abruptly. I was afraid that he might have some other means to expose you, sir."
"Hmph, so what if he's exposed? It's not like he can do anything to me... You better take care of yourself. That kid's got some skills. Robots may not seem difficult to make, but to reach his level... even I couldn't do it. Also, if that kid really finds out something, you know what to do, right?"
"I know, please rest assured, sir, I have already made preparations!"
"Um!"
After waiting for a long time and confirming that no further instructions were being sent from the other end of the computer, a certain figure quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
I wiped the sweat from my palms, took some things off my head, and plunged back into darkness.
...
After this incident, Gao Ang lost all interest in watching auctions.
After giving his new employees another pep talk, he returned to Cheung Ying Island.
However, before he left, he took the box, which was the box that Xia Yu had specially sent.
He knew this wasn't something Xia Yu wanted to auction off, but rather a gift for him.
The question is, how did he know he would come here, and how did he happen to find this box?
Gao Ang carefully recalled every word and action he had taken before going to the Eastcom headquarters building and before discovering the box...
What sparked this idea in him was not someone's words or anything else, but just a fleeting thought that came to mind.
The wall was covered with Weibo posts praising Dongxin Auction House...
Meanwhile, the news channel was also broadcasting news about an employee who embezzled public funds due to family problems...
There was also a browser ad that talked about some of the unspoken rules within auction houses...
"This is getting interesting!"
Suddenly, Gao Ang understood.
This is a conspiracy against him.
The conspiracy was already underway after he decided to remove Dongxin.
Xiamen subtly hinted at him, his employees, and the auction house through various small details, thus arousing his desire to go to the scene and find out for himself.
To put it bluntly, this is an open conspiracy.
To put it more deeply, Xiamen is a master of psychology.
Or perhaps he had thoroughly studied Gao Long's thinking, knowing that he was a kind person, a curious person, and someone who occasionally liked to join in the fun.
Thus, all the details, when put together, led him into this conspiracy.
As for their purpose... it should be him himself.
Kidnapping? Impossible.
Assassination? Even less likely.
He had already seen that box; it was just a meteorite, nothing special, and nothing with any modern high-tech gadgets.
However, a small animal was carved on this meteorite.
It's not quite right to call it an animal, because no one has ever seen a little white pig carrying a chamber pot, right?
Gao Feng felt he had seen this image somewhere before, but couldn't quite place it.
"Why is he so interested in me? Did Xu Qing not tell Xia Yu that I'm innocent? Or did this woman deceive me and actually still suspect me all along?"
Gao Ang was also unsure where he had given himself away, making Xia Yu so cautious of him.
"Wait a minute, this auction seems to be part of some kind of conspiracy!"
Gao Feng frowned again, because it was too much of a coincidence.
Xia Yu delivered the items, and then Xiamen accessed the camera's permissions.
It was as if they knew Gao Feng would notice something special about the box, and then they waited for him to take the bait...
"Luckily I'm quick-witted, and luckily I can fly, otherwise you would have discovered me!"
After figuring all this out, Gao Ang became even more curious. So what if they knew he was a mutant?
Or is Xiamen itself a mutant?
But that shouldn't be the case. Although I haven't had much contact with Bureau 303, whether it's through Xu Qing or other channels, it can prove one thing: mutated creatures, or what they call secret creatures, are really rare.
Otherwise, that giant squid in the Beiyang waters wouldn't have attracted so many people to fight over it.
Leaving aside the robbery, they also mobilized so many special forces personnel.
The mountain kingdom paid a heavy price but gained little benefit.
On the other hand, the Eastern Kingdom mobilized a large number of personnel and equipment, showing that they were completely unaccustomed to the world.
That's why Gao Ang felt that mysterious creatures were really rare.
After having this hypothesis, Gao Ang felt he should be more cautious.
"Your Majesty, from now on, when I go out, I'll monitor the surrounding networks more closely. I hope this kind of thing won't happen again."
"Received, sir."
...
That evening, on Changying Island, Zhang Xiaoming made another video call.
"What's wrong? It's the middle of the night, can't people just get a good night's sleep?"
Zhang Xiaoming was stunned. He checked his time and exclaimed, "What time is it? The news just finished airing, and you're already going to sleep?"
"Don't you know that researchers are sleep-deprived?"
He rolled his eyes at him and continued making his bed.
Autumn and winter are here, so we need to switch to thicker quilts and mattresses, otherwise it will look strange to others.
The quilt was sent from home by my mother. She said that the ones bought online are all fake cotton quilts. She also specifically reminded me that this quilt is made of ten pounds of new cotton, so don't lose it.
"Mr. Gao, you haven't forgotten what I told you last time, have you?"
Zhang Xiaoming knew that Gao Feng was impatient, but there was nothing he could do; he had to complete the task assigned to him by his superiors.
"What's wrong? I have too many things on my mind, I can't remember."
Gao Yang started to pretend to be confused.
"No, I mean the Chizhou thing, that agricultural support project your older brother was working on."
Xiao Ming got anxious. This matter wasn't a huge deal, but it was actually quite important because it was necessary for certain purposes.
"Go find my older brother, he's in charge. Besides, I'm not even in Chizhou. What, you think you can morally blackmail me just because I got your worthless certificate?"
"No way, what are you saying..."
Xiao Ming coughed a few times, his tone softening considerably, "It's like this, as you know, there's been a lot of rain this year, so the harvest is less than in previous years. Consequently, our grain exports have decreased a bit. Moreover, the climate is getting increasingly strange. According to meteorological experts, we will gradually enter a mini ice age, which means the global food crisis will become more and more severe..."
"Isn't there also Yuan Laoyao? I saw on the news that Yuan Laoyao has even developed hybrid rice that can be cultivated using seawater!"
After finishing his work, Gao Ang sat on the sofa and asked curiously, "Since seawater can sustain life, there shouldn't be any problem with the Chizhou area, right?"
"It's not a big problem, but Chizhou is short of water!"
Xiao Ming continued to persuade him.
"If we're short of water, we'll dig a river!"
"Digging a canal takes time!"
"Does agriculture not require time?"
"...No, you've confused me," Xiaoming slapped his head. "Chizhou is already short of water. Dig a river? Draw water from the sea? Are you kidding me?"
Gao Ang was just joking around; he just felt a little uncomfortable.
It means that when you have problems, you come to me without even asking for my opinion.
Does he seem like a tool, or does he seem like Doraemon, able to get whatever he wants?
However, to be fair, he really can help with this.
When Chitose was tinkering around before, she actually came up with something that could promote plant growth.
That thing isn't difficult to manufacture, and it can be mass-produced.
"Now that you mention it... it does seem to make sense, but I actually do have something like that here..."
Before he could speak, Xiao Ming jumped up excitedly, "Really? Wow, the leaders are really right!"
"Wait a minute, what does 'the leaders are incredibly insightful' mean?"
As soon as Zhang Xiaoming said that, Gao Ang felt there was something wrong.
