Asked you to write a book, not to confess your criminal record!

The night grew deeper, silent and still.

Lin Chuan and Shen Qianqian, after having dinner with Xia Qingqing, dealt with company affairs for over an hour before returning home, where it was already midnight.

Autumn, the evening breeze was cool.

Looking down from the balcony of the house, the hazy lights, the treetops by the riverside path swayed gently and shook, as if they were whispering and murmuring to each other.

The bright moon hung high, stars twinkling, their light intersecting with the pale yellow street lamps to sketch a mottled pattern of light and shadow on the ground, moving rhythmically with the wind. In the distance, the rushing sound of water intermingled with occasional car horns, reached Lin Chuan's ears.

Lin Chuan leaned on the balcony, his thoughts resting on the Morgan Group.

Now, all he could think about was how to squash the Morgan Group for good!

As for the Morgan Group, he had clashed with them several times, but his understanding wasn't as thorough as he'd like, knowing only that—

This villain was rooted in the dark underworld, engaged in trading addictive drugs, military weapons, human trafficking, information, and so forth.

Concerning addictive drugs, Lin Chuan had merely eradicated the Morgan Group's industry chain in the 'Han River-Anling' area, which affected their interests but didn't deliver a fatal blow.

As for the arms trade.

At present, he had only made contact with the Haas Armed Forces and was still in the initial stages, pending delivery to let the Haas Armed Forces 'promote' their products with real results.

By then, Lin Chuan felt confident in devouring the Morgan Group's share of the arms market in the Middle East!

Lin Chuan, the true Arms Tycoon!

But, this was far from enough!

Beneath the deep blue expanse of sky, the rolling hills far away were dim and obscured, entering Lin Chuan's sight like lurking beasts, ready to strike.

The Morgan Group was just like that.

As long as it existed, it was a threat to himself!—Lin Chuan thought.

"It's a colossal being, so, it's not just about usurping their share of the arms trade market, it's also about eliminating their key figures, especially those with close ties to Yu Keke!"

Lin Chuan murmured under his breath, a hint of murderous intent flickering in his eyes.

He remembered Yu Keke had contacted a person within the Morgan Group, and while eavesdropping, Lin Chuan heard that the person was called Lucas.

If that was the case, he'd start with Lucas!

...

Achoo!

In Southeast Asia, in the Morgan Group Asia-Pacific Branch office, Lucas suddenly sneezed sharply.

The chill of the autumn evening breeze prompted him to drape his suit jacket from the chair over his shoulders before looking at Yu Qin on the other side of the office.

The room was quite spacious, about the size of a large classroom.

For the sake of convenience, Yu Qin had placed an additional desk in the office.

In her estimation, she would be working in Southeast Asia for a considerable period coming, first due to Lin Chuan.

Second, after discussing with some higher-ups in the Morgan Group, she had decided to penetrate the arms market in Southeast Asia.

The Baisheng Group from the Myanmar area had already made contact with them.

So far, their discussions had been very pleasant.

"Yu, how is the plan progressing?"

Their plan had been underway for a while, and today was a critical juncture. Lucas struggled to contain his anticipation.

"It's fairly smooth."

Yu Qin, sitting in front of her computer, glanced up at Lucas and casually responded.

"Have you infiltrated their ranks?" Lucas pressed on.

"He hasn't replied yet, but, in my estimation, the success rate is 100%." Yu Qin's lips curved into a smile, her face brimming with confidence.

Lucas spoke in a serious tone, "Accidents happen too often, it's better to be cautious."

Yu Qin said nothing.

Approximately five minutes passed.

Ding Dong.

Her phone rang with a message from an unknown number, containing only two letters.

——OK

Yu Qin put down her phone, her dominant aura resurfacing as she casually snapped her fingers with her right hand.

Lucas turned to her at the sound.

Yu Qin smiled and said, "The most crucial step has succeeded!"

"Karl, truly deserves to be AW's top Hacker, well done! With his entry into the Network Security Company, our plan is arguably 80% successful!" Lucas exclaimed with some excitement.

Tonight.

The Karl that Lin Chuan saw was indeed AW's ace hacker, Karl.

This plan, they had pondered for an entire week, refining the details repeatedly, adding lots of materials to ensure no mistakes were made.

With the preliminary setup, he easily fooled Li Qing.

Lin Chuan had only met him briefly, not engaging in deep conversation, thus failing to detect anything amiss.

Yu Qin leaned back comfortably, crossed her legs with ease, and her smile broadened, "Karl's skills rank in the top ten among hackers, otherwise he wouldn't dare claim to take control of AW's voice."

"Top ten within AW?"

Lucas wasn't particularly familiar with Karl.

Yu Qin made a gesture indicating the loss of the South Korean market and laughed scornfully, "You underestimate Karl, top ten in the world!"

Lucas's face showed surprise.

He was an administrator, not very knowledgeable about the hacking community, knowing just enough to make a layperson familiar but would be out of place among experts.

He didn't comprehend the true value of certain hacking techniques.

But a world top ten hacker, that undoubtedly had real clout, beyond reproach.

"That's like the Network Security Company finding a treasure! With Karl on board, their capabilities can be said to have soared!" Lucas joked and laughed.

This critical step's success essentially declared their victory.
