Chapter 1369 Yunrui Enchanting: 3 Telegrams and 3 Connections
The hospital corridor was so quiet late at night that I could hear my own footsteps.
Lin Junze stood outside the ward door, looking through the glass window at Su Xingya who was sleeping soundly inside - her brows were still slightly furrowed, and even in her dreams, she could not escape the entanglement of anxiety.
The sensor lights in the corridor lit up and went out as he moved. Under the warm yellow light, the white hair at his temples looked particularly dazzling. The inspection report in his hand had been wrinkled at the corners from repeated rubbing.
This is already the sixth day that Su Xingya has been in the hospital, but the situation has not only not improved, but has gotten worse.
This is also why the doctor said that I could be discharged from the hospital without any serious problems, but then I was unable to move my feet.
This morning, I received a long-distance call from Song Yuanzhe, saying that domestic police had discovered that Shen Chengyu had transferred the core assets of "Xingtu Technology" to an offshore account through a shell company. Several old shareholders of the Gu Group, seeing the situation was not good, had been secretly contacting each other, hoping to buy out the Gu family's shares at a low price.
Back in London, the Dark Web team received news that the Shen family's secret warehouse had suddenly changed its security team. All the previously deployed technical surveillance had been cut off, and even the "Night Walker" was unable to penetrate the new defense system.
What was even more worrying was that news came from the detention center that Gu Yunxi had recurring hypoglycemia. In order to let his sister eat more, Gu Yunqian would rather starve himself. He lost another five kilograms and even began to speak weakly.
Lin Junze leaned against the cold wall and took a deep breath. He had thought that with his years of experience with Gu Mingcheng and Gu Yunqian, he could help Su Xingya stabilize the situation. However, he had not expected that Shen Chengyu's methods would be far more ruthless and his plan more elaborate than he had imagined.
The informant he arranged was discovered, the backup plan he prepared was broken, and even Su Xingya collapsed from overwork - the current situation was like an impenetrable net that trapped them tightly inside, and it seemed that he was the only one who could tear a hole through it.
The emergency exit indicator light at the end of the corridor was glowing faintly green. Lin Junze took out his mobile phone and opened an encrypted folder.
There were no contact names in it, only strings of codes made up of numbers and symbols, and a few yellowed photos - one showed Gu Mingcheng in camouflage uniform when he was young, and another showed Gu Yunqian wearing a hacker mask and typing on the keyboard. Behind each code was the Gu family's network of contacts that had been hidden for many years, a trump card that would never be used unless it was a life-and-death moment.
He walked to the stairwell. There was no surveillance here, only old voice-controlled lights that would light up with every step he took, but would soon fall into darkness again.
He dialed the first number. After the call was connected, there was no sound, only the "sizzling" sound of electricity - this was Gu Mingcheng's old comrade from the mercenary army, code-named "Eagle". He was now in charge of private security in the Middle East and only recognized the "code" of the Gu family.
Lin Junze didn't say anything, just read out a string of numbers into the phone: "7392, Gu Botu, let me ask you, do you still remember the taste of camel milk in the desert?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone for three seconds, and then a hoarse male voice came: "Old Gu's people? Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
"Help me check on someone: Shen Chengyu, the founder of Xingtu Technology." Lin Junze's voice was low and firm. "I want all his overseas transaction records, especially those related to the Nightingale Organization. Also, keep an eye on his private jet. If it shows signs of taking off, tell me immediately."
"Shen Chengyu?" Eagle paused, "I remember this guy. He recently bought a batch of arms in the Middle East and contacted the people from Nightingale, hoping to hire them to do the 'final cleanup'.
I will send you the information you requested before noon tomorrow. In addition, I will have my people monitor him near Heathrow Airport to prevent him from leaving the UK easily."
"Thank you." Lin Junze's tone was full of gratitude, "The Gu family will never forget your kindness."
"I owe Lao Gu my life, not out of favor." There was a hint of emotion in Old Eagle's voice. "Tell him that if he needs help, he can always come to me."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Junze leaned against the stair railing and breathed a sigh of relief. He trusted Eagle's ability. With Eagle keeping an eye on Shen Chengyu's overseas movements, he could at least cut off his escape route.
He dialed the second number again. This time, after the call was connected, he heard a rapid keyboard tapping sound - this was the technical expert that Gu Yunqian met on the dark web that year, code-named "Ghost". No one had ever seen his true face, but he could break through any firewall within three minutes.
Lin Junze didn't exchange pleasantries and directly stated his needs: "Ghost, I need you to help me break through Xingtu Technology's new security system and find the latest coordinates of the warehouse. Also, help me recover the email records that Shen Chengyu deleted."
The keyboard tapping stopped for a few seconds, and then a voice-changed electronic voice came out: "Mr. Gu's man? He helped me break the FBI's tracking last time, and I haven't returned the favor yet. However, Xingtu Technology's new system uses military-grade encryption, so it will take time. Also, the thing you want is probably stored on an offline hard drive, and I need physical access to recover it."
"Time is no problem, I can wait." Lin Junze said immediately, "As for physical contact, I can arrange for someone to get the hard drive. What tools do you need? Make a list for me."
"No, I have a plan." A hint of confidence lingered in the electronic voice. "Send me the target's address and itinerary, and I'll take care of the rest. Also, let me remind you that Shen Chengyu has put a substantial bounty on your head on the dark web, so please be careful."
Lin Junze's heart tightened, but he still said calmly: "I understand, thank you for reminding me."
After hanging up the phone, he realized that his palms were sweating.
Shen Chengyu had even set his sights on him; it seemed the other party truly intended to annihilate him. Without hesitation, he dialed a third number—this was Gu Mingcheng's former "hidden contact" in the business world, codenamed "Old Ghost." He was now a senior executive at a Swiss bank, controlling over half of the world's secret financial flows.
After the call was connected, a gentle male voice came: "Is this Xiaolin? How is Lao Gu doing recently?"
"The situation isn't good." Lin Junze's voice was heavy. "I'm here to ask you to investigate Xingtu Technology's offshore accounts, especially its recent financial transactions with Southeast Asian ports. I suspect these funds are connected to the Nightingale Organization."
"Is Lao Gu in the hospital?" Lao Gui's voice was tinged with worry. "Don't worry, I'll help you with this. Xingtu Technology's offshore account is on file with our bank. I'll check it now and send it to you in encrypted form. Also, Shen Chengyu recently transferred a large sum of money from our bank to a private account in Switzerland. The recipient is a postpartum care center. I'm guessing it's for his family. It might be a good way to break in."
Lin Junze's eyes lit up: "Postpartum care center? Do you have any specific information?"
"I'll send them to you." Lao Gui's tone was firm. "Lao Gu helped me back then. Now that his family is in trouble, I won't sit idly by. If you need anything, feel free to contact me."
After hanging up the three calls, Lin Junze breathed a sigh of relief. He leaned against the wall of the stairwell, looking out the window at the night, and the anxiety in his heart finally eased a little.
These hidden connections are the wealth accumulated by the Gu family father and son over the years, and are also their final confidence.
In the past, he always felt that these powers should not be used unless absolutely necessary, but now, in order to save Su Xingya, to save Gu Yunqian and his sister, and to protect the Gu family, he has no choice.
