Chapter 39

Liu Shijie's next words startled everyone present: "Yang Luo! The unpleasant events that happened between us yesterday were all my fault. I apologize to you... I'm sorry!"

Yang Luo smiled and said, "We are colleagues. What's done is done, there's no need for an apology. From now on, we're all brothers."

As he finished speaking, he gave Liu Shijie a bear hug. At the same time, a cold, red light flashed in his eyes, and he whispered in Liu Shijie's ear, "Kid, don't play these games with me. You're too inexperienced. When I was fighting psychological battles with enemies on the battlefield, you were still in diapers." After saying this, he pushed Liu Shijie away and burst into laughter.

Han Bin smiled and said, "It's good that we've talked it out, good that we've talked it out." However, apart from Han Bin, no one believed that Liu Shijie could be so magnanimous. They all looked at him with suspicion.

Liu Shijie chuckled and said, "I'll go to the restroom first."

Wang Tong walked up to Yang Luo, frowned, and said, "Liu Shijie isn't that easy to deal with. You need to be careful these next few days."

Yang Luo chuckled, "Thanks for your concern, my dear. Liu Shijie isn't even worthy to be my opponent."

Wang Tong rolled her eyes when Yang Luo called her "my dear," "Just be careful, okay?" She then walked back to the sofa and sat down.

Liu Shijie's face turned grim as he entered the restroom. He raised his fist and slammed it into the wall, leaving a clear bloodstain on the white wall.

"Yang Luo! I'll make you die today." He then turned on the faucet to wash his face. When he came out, he still had a smile on his face.

At 7:30, the phone rang suddenly. Everyone perked up, and Wang Tong put on her earpiece and nodded at Su Cheng.

Su Cheng took a deep breath and picked up the phone, "Hello?"

"Mr. Su! I was planning to play with those police officers, but I don't have the time." The voice in the receiver paused, "I want the 'Dragon Shield System' program code."

"Impossible!" Su Cheng flatly refused.

"Ha ha... Mr. Su! You have no bargaining power. Time is up. I'll call you in an hour to tell you where to deliver the goods."

Wang Tong took off her earpiece and said, "This guy has a good grasp of the time it takes for us to trace the signal. He hung up just as we were about to trace it."

Su Cheng sat down on the sofa, feeling powerless, and said, "They want the 'Dragon Shield System' source code. What should we do?" Everyone looked at Han Bin.

Han Bin frowned and said, "Wei Yong! Notify the city police command center to mobilize all police forces in Shanghai to block all exit routes, including the small roads. Every vehicle and person leaving the city must be registered, not a single one can be missed. Also, notify the special forces to stand by and our people to come over immediately."

"Understood!" Wei Yong took out his phone and walked out.

Ouyang Qing and Su Cheng kept looking at Yang Luo, who was silent, with hopeful expressions.

Yang Luo closed his eyes and leaned back on the sofa, suddenly saying, "Play the recording from just now again." No one knew why Yang Luo wanted to listen to the recording, but Wang Tong seemed to have confidence in him and played it.

Everyone listened carefully, but no one could figure out what was wrong after the recording finished. They all looked at him with suspicion.

Yang Luo said, "Play it again." Wang Tong played it once more.
