Free Web NovelChapter 1366: Chapter 1365
"Ah, what happened?" The woman who just entered was terrified.
Seeing this woman, Master Ye bitterly smiled in his heart, his face dark as he said, "The shop is closed, there’s nothing for you here, leave now!"
The woman didn’t leave, and instead said angrily, "You’re telling me to leave? Ye Wen, what kind of attitude is this? Pretending you don’t know me? I finally decided to forgive you and come back, and you’re telling me to leave?"
Master Ye: "..."
He was truly exasperated by this woman. He was telling her to leave just to avoid implicating her and didn’t want to be implicated by her either.
This woman was actually his runaway wife, and she chose this exact moment to return, which was really not the best timing.
The conductor let out an oh, sneering, "So, it’s the sister-in-law."
She reached out and grabbed the woman by the collar, pulling her over, with the muzzle of the gun pressed against the woman’s forehead.
The woman was so scared her face turned pale, "What do you want, don’t kill me, I didn’t do anything!"
The conductor said, "Your life is now in your husband’s hands, it depends on if he’s willing to let you die."
Master Ye bitterly smiled, if it were just him, even if the gun were pointed at him, he wouldn’t speak easily, but now, with his wife in their hands, it was a different story. Although he was extremely exasperated with this woman, she was still his wife, he couldn’t just watch her die.
A few minutes later.
The conductor and the Chinese man walked out of the herbal shop.
The Chinese man walked while swinging his shoulders, pain on his face. Earlier, his hand was restrained by Master Ye, it was extremely uncomfortable.
Tonight was really unlucky, running into experts one after another, who would have thought the owner of this little herbal shop was also a hidden expert.
Fortunately, the conductor took Master Ye’s wife as a hostage, forcing Master Ye to yield.
The two quickly got into a car and headed towards Li Zixia’s apartment.
Inside the herbal shop, Master Ye looked at the woman sitting paralyzed on the ground, crying in fear, sighed helplessly, and muttered, "Mr. Lin, I hope I haven’t implicated you."
The conductor and the Chinese man arrived at Li Zixia’s apartment but did not see Lin Fan.
By that time, Lin Fan had already left.
In the outskirts of London, through a woodland, one can see an estate that looks like a castle. It’s clear that whoever resides here is clearly either wealthy or noble.
A car drove up to the gate of the estate, a security guard came out to check their identity, then allowed the car to pass through.
Two men got out of the car, led by the estate’s butler, and entered the grand mansion.
Inside the mansion, a white man in his fifties sat on a comfortable large sofa, smoking a cigar.
Seeing the two men, the white man asked, "What’s the situation?"
One man said, "We searched Li Zixia’s apartment, found nothing."
This was not what the white man wanted to hear, he was immediately disappointed, "Outrageous! Is there no way you can find her?"
The two men exchanged a glance, shook their heads, "It’s difficult, there are no clues on the scene unless we know who did it."
While speaking.
Suddenly, they heard the butler exclaim, "Who are you? How did you get in?"
The three looked up to see a young man walking in, a handsome Huaxia person!
Lin Fan!
Lin Fan had followed the two men here, as they arrived while he was at Li Zixia’s apartment.
The white man frowned, "Do I know you?"
Lin Fan said calmly, "You don’t know me, I don’t know you either, I’m here to find Li Zixia, where is she?"
The three of them had a change of expression upon hearing this.
The white man said, "You are too rude, I don’t know what you’re talking about, please leave immediately!"
Lin Fan said, "Don’t know what I’m talking about? Then why did these two go to Li Zixia’s apartment? What are you looking for?"
Quickly standing up, the white man shouted, "Please get out immediately, where are the security guards, where are they?"
Lin Fan said, "Don’t call for them, I’ve already let them take a break. Answer my question, where is Li Zixia?"
The white man was shocked. In order to ensure his safety, he had hired retired soldiers for security, but this Huaxia young man had silently dealt with his guards?
"Boss, don’t worry, leave it to us."
One of the men reassured the white man.
These two men turned towards Lin Fan, attempting to restrain him. One tried to punch Lin Fan in the face, while the other attempted to grab him from the side.
However, after one encounter...
Both were caught by Lin Fan, who knocked their heads together with a boom. They lost consciousness on the spot, and when Lin Fan let go, they slumped to the ground like empty sacks.
Witnessing this scene, the white man and the butler were both startled, how ruthless!
After dealing with the two guides, Lin Fan walked over, sat down opposite the white man, and smiled, "Don’t panic, sit down and let’s talk."
The white man’s face turned white, he swallowed hard, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, trembled, and sat down.
"Sir, I don’t know where Li Zixia is either, we’re also looking for her," the white man said.
Lin Fan asked, "Is that so, tell me what this is all about?"
The white man said, "Sir, you don’t know what’s going on? May I ask, who are you to Li Zixia?"
Lin Fan replied, "She’s my friend. I only know she’s missing."
The white man seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "So you’re her friend. Sir, my intention in looking for Li Zixia is not malicious, it’s just to discuss business. I know she’s missing, and I want to help save her."
Lin Fan asked, "Do you know why she went missing?"
Lin Fan was somewhat disappointed. He had hoped that Li Zixia was kidnapped by this person, which would have made his task much easier, but it seemed this white man wasn’t responsible.
The white man said, "It must be because of the technology she possesses."
Lin Fan asked, "Tell me more in detail."
The white man said, "Four days ago, I attended an anonymous auction, an anonymous auction on the Deep Web..."
The Deep Web refers to the submerged part of the internet, relative to the regular internet we use daily, akin to the shadow of sunlight, or an iceberg, where only a small portion is visible above water, while the larger portion is underwater, unseen and untouchable, only visible by diving below the surface.
Four days ago, on the Deep Web, there was an anonymous auction, of course, in the boundless Deep Web, this was just an event happening in a certain corner.
It turns out that a few days ago, on a Deep Web hacker site, someone posted an auction ad claiming to auction a certain technology, a supercomputer technology related to artificial intelligence.
From the information disclosed by the poster, this artificial intelligence technology is revolutionary, with the potential to change the world, instantly attracting attention.
Including this white man, who is the founder of a high-tech company in London, he was also interested in acquiring this technology, thus he signed up to attend this auction.
However, no one expected that there would be a problem at this auction...
