Reunion with Jie Xing

"I have a general understanding of what you mean."

Feiran sat beside Ye Yun and looked at Professor Qin Hui. "If he leaves the ancient castle, causing a large number of Duyizhi AIPs to attack, resulting in a loss to the Initial Source Code, who will compensate for the loss?"

Her words.

Instantly calmed the anxious Professor Qin Hui.

The importance of the Initial Source Code.

Was self-evident.

If the Initial Source Code were compromised because of his daughter's affairs.

He would be unforgivable.

"The Initial Source Code is in the ancient castle. How would the Duyizhi AIPs know it's here? Besides, very few people mention the Initial Source Code on the external network."

Ye Yun looked at her uncertainly. "We only learned about the Initial Source Code from Hot Mom and Professor Qin Hui after arriving at Linji Island."

"Heh, you should ask your father, Ye Zhen, about this matter."

Feiran's lips curled into a cold smile.

"Is it really him?"

Professor Jianjie, who was checking on Qiao Er nearby, suddenly stopped what she was doing and looked up at Feiran in disbelief.

She had initially suspected that the intelligent anomaly three years ago might be related to Ye Zhen.

But she never expected.

"I was 80% sure, but now that I see you all, that 80% has become 100%."

Feiran said coldly, "Back then, you all worked with your father to research Jie Xing and were very familiar with the underlying architecture of the Initial Source Code. By exploiting vulnerabilities in its underlying architecture, you could easily remove the logic permissions. If I remember correctly, Professor Jianjie and Professor Ye Zhen were responsible for the firewall programs."

"This..."

For a moment.

Professor Qin Hui's mouth felt dry, and he looked at Professor Jianjie with disbelief in his eyes.

He finally understood.

Why Duyizhi had tried every means to obtain the firewall program from Professor Jian.

After all.

Even if they obtained the firewall program, it would be useless.

Because the intelligent being firewall program was researched by the world's top scientists.

Even he himself couldn't easily crack it if he obtained it.

Unless one was extremely proficient in firewall programs.

And had absolute confidence in cracking the intelligent being firewall.

Then.

The disappeared Ye Zhen, also came into focus.

He was the world's top firewall program expert.

"I had suspected him long ago, but I never imagined..."

Professor Jianjie sighed, her eyes filled with disappointment.

In fact.

She had suspected for a long time.

That the Green Valley dock incident back then.

Was caused by Ye Zhen.

But after all these analyses.

Even if she didn't want to admit that fact, it was impossible.

"But why would he do this?"

Ye Yun's body trembled slightly, still holding onto a sliver of hope.

That was her most beloved father.

"This matter concerns Professor Jianjie and Professor Qin Hui." Feiran gestured towards Professor Jianjie and Professor Qin Hui.

"Us?"

Upon hearing this.

The two exchanged glances, completely bewildered.

They didn't have any secrets on them.

Moreover.

They rarely contacted each other; they both had their own work and careers.

"Jealousy can create a person, and it can also destroy one."

Feiran nodded slightly and said, "You are both students of Professor Hu Ming, and you are ranked alongside Ye Zhen as one of Professor Hu Ming's three most outstanding students."

"Professor Jianjie, chief scientist of Oriental Smart Island, renowned globally. Her patent alone generates substantial royalties. A super career-driven beauty scientist, the dream lover of countless men."

"Professor Qin Hui, chief scientist of DRE Company, and also one of its major shareholders. His reputation is equally renowned worldwide. Although not as famous as Professor Jianjie, he is doing quite well among the three, with a harmonious and happy family."

"Although Ye Zhen also has a happy family, he is unknown. The brilliance of his wife overshadows the light that should have belonged to him. If it weren't for his wife, no one would probably even know that Professor Hu Ming had such a student."

"Tell me, with two classmates like yourselves, doesn't Ye Zhen feel immense pressure? Isn't it very possible he'd resort to desperate measures?"

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, the day after the intelligent anomaly at Green Valley Pier, Yi Xing rushed to the Linji Island ancient castle to search for something. Doesn't that seem suspicious?"

"The last point is that the Sharp Eye chip contains a tracking program. After analyzing this tracking program, there are many traces of Ye Zhen within it. Although it contains many of Professor Jian's techniques, these were deliberately placed, and there are several instances of Ye Zhen's programming methods."

With that said.

Feiran quietly watched everyone, waiting for them to process what she had said.

"This is impossible. Your words and actions are deliberately pointing towards my father. What are your intentions?"

Ye Yun still couldn't quite believe it, glaring at Feiran.

Her father.

How could he possibly do such a thing?

Moreover.

She was his daughter.

He wouldn't harm her.

It must be a deliberate attempt to deceive them.

"Alright, let's not discuss who the mastermind is for now. Let's talk about rescuing Qin Yan for Professor Qin Hui."

Feiran waved her hand and said.

"Thank you, thank you." Professor Qin Hui's haggard face showed excitement, and he repeatedly expressed his gratitude.

Beside him, Professor Jianjie.

remained silent, lost in deep thought.

"Wait, I have conditions."

Feiran raised her hand, signaling him not to get too excited yet.

"No problem, no problem. As long as I can fulfill them, I will agree to anything." Professor Qin Hui nodded excitedly.

"After rescuing Qin Yan, I want her to guard the Initial Source Code in the ancient castle for at least one year!"

Feiran stated.

"You, what are you doing?"

Ye Yun had a bad premonition and whispered in Feiran's ear.

I'm just joking. You don't need to take it seriously.

To this.

Feiran merely glared at him before turning back to Professor Qin Hui.

"What? Xiao Yan is still a child. How can she have the strength to guard..." Professor Qin Hui was taken aback and immediately retorted.

What a joke.

Xiao Yan is still a child.

"That's an interesting point, Professor Qin. Do you know who will be responsible if there are losses due to someone leaving the castle easily? I'll tell you clearly, if the entire world plunges into an intelligent apocalypse because of one child, can you bear the consequences?" Feiran said righteously.

At this moment.

Professor Qin Hui felt someone tugging at his clothes. He turned to see Professor Jianjie constantly winking at him.

"Fine, I agree."

Seeing Professor Jianjie's signal, Professor Qin Hui still nodded in agreement.

Right now, no matter what.

He needed to bring his daughter back safely first.

"I object."

But the next second.

Ye Yun's decisive refusal echoed through the hall. He placed a hand on Feiran's shoulder, applying a slight pressure.

This guy is definitely doing this on purpose.

"What?"

Seeing this.

Professor Qin Hui's face showed shock.

"Didn't I already agree to your request?"

"Why are you going back on your word now?"

"Whoever agreed to this, you find them. I didn't." Ye Yun looked at Professor Qin Hui calmly.

"You..." Ye Yun's face flushed with anger. "You're treating us like fools!"

"Younger Brother, don't make a fuss." Feiran looked up at him and pinched his leg.

"What are you up to? Don't you like Qin Yan? Isn't this me creating an opportunity for you to bring her closer and cultivate your relationship? What are you doing now?"

"Uh..." He felt the pain in his leg and his expression stiffened.

That really hurts.

He pressed down hard on Feiran's shoulder and said in a low voice, "Stop messing around, I really don't have time."

"No time? What's so important?" Feiran looked up at him, her gaze steady. She wanted to see what he was so busy with. He was always lazing around, she didn't believe he had anything important to do.

"Didn't you ask me to help you move those Intelligent Beings back? There are over twenty of them, and they're heavy. It'll take at least a few hours to move them all." Ye Yun lowered his hand from her smooth shoulder, pulled away her hand gripping his thigh, and nodded righteously.

"You said you weren't going?" Feiran frowned. "This is a matter of life and death. You should go rescue Qin Yan first, and then come back to help me move the Intelligent Beings. Han Feng and his group aren't exactly trustworthy."

"Are you serious?" Ye Yun looked at her deeply, his eyes full of solemnity.

"Yes." Feiran nodded slightly, very sure.

"Fine." His eyes were filled with gloom as he turned and walked upstairs. His voice echoed in the empty hall. "I'm going upstairs to change my shoes."

Watching Ye Yun's retreating back as he went upstairs, Ye Yun shrugged and said, "If it's too much trouble, we won't force him."

"It's fine. Since he's already agreed, he'll definitely keep his promise." Feiran nodded confidently.

"Thank you, thank you so much." Professor Qin Hui repeatedly thanked Feiran, his eyes full of excitement. It was wonderful that he could save his daughter.

However, Professor Jianjie, standing beside him, looked at Feiran, a strange light flashing in her eyes. It seemed Feiran had ulterior motives regarding Old Qin's daughter. But Professor Jianjie didn't expose her. It wasn't her business. As long as the person could be rescued safely, everything was fine.

Soon.

Amidst casual conversation.

Ye Yun came down from upstairs.

"Let's go." He looked at Professor Qin Hui quietly and said.

"If they're not going, I'll go with you." Ye Yun stood up from his stool and walked towards the outside of the ancient castle.

Ye Yun's lips curled into a cold smile.

Interesting.

Noon.

Eastern Intelligent Island.

Abandoned Library.

Ye Yun looked at the vast library before him and reached out to Ye Yun beside him.

"Here, this is Mama's computer and Crazy Fist's chip."

Ye Yun was straightforward, handing the computer to him.

"Gunmen have already been stationed all around. Leave once the person is brought."

He lowered his head and glanced at Professor Jianjie's computer.

How many people had died because of this small computer?

"Got it."

Ye Yun nodded slightly, remaining on high alert at all times.

She knew the dangers of this trip.

Creak.

The abandoned door was pushed open, emitting a grating sound like someone sawing wood and hitting a nail.

Entering the library.

It felt like entering a church, with dense rows of neatly arranged wooden seats all around.

If it weren't for the rows of bookshelves, some might have thought this was a church or the Great Hall of the People.

On the wooden seats around.

Lay layers of dust.

It seemed.

This library had been abandoned for a long time.

"Old friend, we meet again."

At this moment.

Inside the empty library.

A sound of clapping hands rang out, followed by a voice filled with surprise and emotion.

Following the source of the sound.

They saw that on the second floor of the library.

Stood a steel-like monster, an Intelligent Being with a head full of red hair.

"I didn't expect you to arrive so quickly, and that Professor Qin Hui would invite you, old friend."

Jie Xing's figure flashed, as if teleporting, and he instantly appeared from the second floor. His gaze lingered on Ye Yun as he said, "Miss Ye, it's been a long time, I've missed you dearly."

"I don't want to see you."

Ye Yun looked coldly at Jie Xing. It was this guy who had killed her and Qiao Er. "For an AIP like you, Professor Qin Hui was afraid you'd break your promise and get fatter."

"Enough talk, where's the person?"

Ye Yun cut to the chase, staring coldly at Jie Xing.

"I'll have to see the goods before I let you see the person, won't I?"

Jie Xing smiled noncommittally at Ye Yun's words, looking at Ye Yun, who posed a threat to him, standing beside him.

This guy seemed to have gotten stronger again.

"Here are Crazy Fist's and Sharp Eye's chips. The Intelligent Firewall program is in Professor Jian's computer. Where's the person?"

Ye Yun produced Crazy Fist's and Sharp Eye's chips, as well as the computer containing the Intelligent Firewall program.

"And!"

Jie Xing's electronic eyes flickered. He didn't immediately let Ye Yun see the person. Standing two meters away from him, he said confidently.

"Jie Xing, have you gone senile? Or is there a problem with your circuit board? I've already shown you the goods. It's time for you to show us the person."

Ye Yun's eyes remained calm and placid, as if discussing an ordinary matter.

"Right, right, right. You see how forgetful I am."

Jie Xing's electronic eyes flickered continuously. He waved his hand, and Qin Yan, Zhuo Ran, and Qi Yang appeared in the distance. However, the three of them currently had their heads bowed.

"What's this? Are you planning to send me back a few corpses?" Ye Yun glanced at the three figures with bowed heads in the distance. She could naturally sense that the three were unharmed, merely unconscious.

"How could that be, old friend."

Jie Xing waved his hand again, and two intelligent warriors holding assault rifles in the distance woke the three of them up.

The three of them opened their eyes groggily, and three figures appeared in their blurry vision.

"Wuwuwu~ Wuwuwuwu!"

Upon clearly seeing Ye Yun and Ye Yun standing face-to-face with Jie Xing, Qin Yan, Zhuo Ran, and Qi Yang let out excited wuwuwu sounds, but their mouths were covered with transparent tape, preventing them from speaking.

"Behave."

A nearby intelligent warrior raised his rifle and smashed it towards Zhuo Ran and Qi Yang, shouting.

Ye Yun was indifferent to the plight of the three. He took out another chip from his pocket and threw it, along with the chips for Crazy Fist and Sharp Eye, to Jie Xing: "Let them go. You'll only get this if they leave here safely."
