Si Ying is a Madman, the Iron Curtain's Cavity

Damn it!

Lin Qi cursed inwardly.

This was bad, he knew too much!

This kid was crazy. As a target chosen by the Si Clan for their heir, he was blabbing such sensitive information everywhere.

What did he want? To drag someone down with him?

Lin Qi put on a confused expression, as if he didn't understand such matters at all.

He was just an A-level researcher. He didn't understand, nor did he want to understand, the affairs of a major corporation's heir.

"You are the only Liu family employee who arrived alive in Greenland City, and you exited from carriage number one. Your bodyguard lives next door."

"Your identity is not simple. We can cooperate. As I said, I don't want to die."

Si Ying paid no mind to Lin Qi's act, confident that Lin Qi held a significant position within the Liu family.

But didn't he ever consider that if Lin Qi's position in the Liu family was truly significant, why would he be the one coming to Lin Qi's door?

Lin Qi finally understood. Si Ying was just a pawn, a scapegoat who refused to be sacrificed.

His status was no different from those two in carriage number one.

Lin Qi continued his act, unwilling to be associated with Si Ying in any way.

"I don't understand what you mean."

The smile vanished from Si Ying's face. "It's fine, you will understand. It won't take long."

He turned and left, not a trace of politeness remaining.

Lin Qi closed the door, his expression turning grim.

Was this person crazy?

Lin Qi detected a strong sense of threat in Si Ying's parting words.

"Are you sick? Coming to bother an A-level researcher like me? If you have the guts, go find Liu Li? If you can't find Liu Li, can't you find Liu Yue or Liu Heng?"

He felt a surge of irritation.

Lin Qi really wanted to give Si Ying a combined heart attack and stroke, but considering he had already used his abilities on the train, he absolutely couldn't expose himself again.

"He's convinced I must be an important member of the Liu family. This means his intelligence channels are extremely limited."

"Anyone with a bit of sense wouldn't find me, but he's crazy. I can't just sit here and wait. Even if his status in the Si Clan isn't high, Greenland City is the Si Clan's territory after all."

"However, this lunatic isn't entirely wrong about some things. The Liu family will never stand by and watch if something happens to me. Since this lunatic wants something to happen to me, he can't blame me."

Without any hesitation, Lin Qi immediately went to report the incident.

He edited the entire matter, word for word, into an email and sent it to Liu Xuan.

At the end of the email, Lin Qi added a sentence.

[I think he wants to kill me]

Lin Qi was telling Liu Xuan that this was a serious matter, a life-or-death crisis, a plea for help!

Liu Xuan's reply was as fast as ever: "The company will handle it."

Liu Xuan's reply indicated that the matter had already been reported to the Liu family.

At the very least, the train conductor who followed and protected Liu Xuan and Liu Li must have been informed.

Would the Liu family stand by and do nothing?

No, they would definitely take action.

As for how they would act, and whether it would involve more entanglement with the Si Clan, Lin Qi couldn't know for now.

He sat back in his chair and accessed the network using the equipment in his room.

He typed "Si Ying" into the search bar.

A massive amount of information appeared. This person was quite well-known in Greenland City.

[Si Clan's pharmaceutical heir, the youngest inventor of S-class military stimulants!]

[Lost his sister, can the youngest genius overcome his grief?]

[Si Clan's pharmaceutical heir Si Ying announces high-profile launch of Iron Curtain, full pursuit of assassins!]

What a high-profile heir.

Unlike the Liu family, the Si Clan had almost completely announced to the public that Si Ying was their heir.

But according to Si Ying himself, he was just a scapegoat.

Most of the information Lin Qi gathered online showed signs of deliberate dissemination by the Si Clan. Lin Qi couldn't restore a more comprehensive personality profile of Si Ying.

"For now, I can only place my hope in the company."

"Tonight, I'll try to ask Arthur. He's trapped in Greenland City, so he should have a lot of information."

Lin Qi couldn't understand Si Ying's true thoughts and intentions for the time being.

If it were just about survival, that would be fine.

But I fear this is just a probe, with other objectives hidden behind it.

"No matter what they probe for, the ultimate target isn't me."

"The one truly at the center of the storm is the Liu family, the heir of the Si Clan."

"A scapegoat, a target – such roles explain everything. In this incident, I'm just a minor character caught up by accident."

"But I do have many secrets. What I need to do now is continue hiding, play the role assigned to me by the Liu family, and the fatal storm won't fall upon me."

The Wizard identity is a huge landmine. Lin Qi vaguely feels that the trouble facing the Liu family and the Si Clan is closely related to this extraordinary profession, Wizard.

He closed the monitor and Lin Qi lay on the bed.

It was only early afternoon, still a long way from the Highest Level Security Meeting that would start in the evening.

Lin Qi tidied his thoughts and chose to leave through the Door.

Even if there was trouble, it wouldn't come this quickly.

Lin Qi planned to take a tour around Greenland City, and by the way, check for Arthur to see if the Iron Curtain System truly had any loopholes.

Next door to Lin Qi, the bodyguard was just about to rest when the equipment installed at Lin Qi's Door suddenly sounded an alarm.

Lin Qi had left the Door!

Is he crazy?

Do workers not know fatigue?

He quickly got up and followed discreetly to provide protection.

This is what a bodyguard is, this is professionalism!

Following the public transport route map he saw in the employee dormitory, Lin Qi chose a route heading to the outskirts of Greenland City.

The destination was only a few hundred meters from the edge of the Iron Curtain.

Based on Lin Qi's experience, such locations were likely to be occupied by underground Cybernetic Body clinics or gangs.

Lin Qi's stated destination was a Cybernetic Body clinic.

His original plan was to collect a batch of micro-nuclear power reactors through Arthur.

But now, with the Liu family's backing in Greenland City, and the network surveillance in Greenland City being much weaker than in Red Fruit City, He could completely go and purchase them himself.

Even if a record was left in Greenland City, with Lin Qi's current "background," it wouldn't cause too much trouble.

Killing two birds with one stone, Lin Qi felt a bit more relaxed.

However, Psychic Vision was fully active throughout, to avoid that lunatic Si Ying truly causing him trouble.

By the time Lin Qi reached his destination, he hadn't encountered any trouble. On the contrary, he saw the pained expression on the bodyguard's face the entire time.

He first went to the Cybernetic Body clinic, picked through the second-hand Cybernetic Body units, and then left in a very dissatisfied state.

He wandered around for a long time, eventually reaching the area closest to the Iron Curtain.

"I didn't notice it when riding the train; the thickness of the Iron Curtain is quite exaggerated."

"Can the material strength truly support such a massive structure?"

"There are likely structural cavities inside the Iron Curtain."

"Found it. Not only are there cavities, but there are also illuminated passages."

"If I can find the entry and exit points of the cavities, I might be able to find hidden safe passages within the Iron Curtain System."

When the Iron Curtain System was first built, they must have considered the possibility of losing network access.

For their own safety, the Si Clan must have left purely mechanical safe passages, routes that could be used for covert passage in case of internal danger.

This was Lin Qi's Psychic Vision, and the main reason he could become an important information node for the mercenary group.
