34: Chapter 34 Weaving the Web
34 -34 Weaving the Web
“So, you knew there would be an ambush tonight as early as yesterday?” Tang Yichen suddenly thought of a very serious question.
Third Brother was never one to easily trust others, but yesterday, as if bewitched, he actually believed a young girl’s words.
Now that he thought about it, maybe he didn’t really believe the girl’s words, but he knew all along that there would be an ambush tonight.
“Now you’re really framing me.” Su Yunling leaned lazily against the door frame, smiling with an air of frivolous nonchalance, “I just knew that they were going to make their move sometime soon.”
However, because of the young girl’s words, he had indeed asked Yun Yan to send some more people over.
“I now have reasons to suspect that my inability to leave the Traceability Hotel involves your doing.” Tang Yichen stared at Su Yunling with deep eyes, trying to read the truth on his face.
However, he gleaned nothing.
Su Yunling just smiled, still in his nonchalant, disdainful manner, and didn’t pay him any further attention.
Tang Yichen wanted to ask more, but his phone in his pocket rang.
Seeing the caller ID, Tang Yichen clenched his teeth and pressed the answer button heavily, speaking in a gloomy voice, “Good evening, Second Brother.”
The person on the other end seemed to notice something off in his tone and paused before speaking, “Are you alright?”
“Still alive.” Tang Yichen spoke through clenched teeth, still brooding over the fact that he had been turned into bait without his knowledge.
Tang Yichen paused for a moment, “You’re in Yun Town?”
“Yeah, I’m downstairs.
I just had a run-in with Angel’s men.
I have them tied up at the moment, but I can’t handle them all by myself.
On hearing this, Tang Yichen’s eyes lit up, “Hey, you’ve got the right man for this kind of job, wait for me.”
After speaking, he glanced around, found that Su Yunling had disappeared, grabbed someone at random to explain a few words, and then quickly went downstairs.
Under the night sky, a chorus of frog croaks and cricket chirps merged into a symphony of summer night.
Yueqi Village, second floor of the Gu Family residence.
Outside the window was the incessant sound of insects and frogs, while inside the room, there was the frequent rapid tapping on a keyboard.
Gu Zhiqi sat cross-legged at the desk, languidly leaning back in the chair, her pale and slender fingers dancing across the keys.
After pressing Enter, a webpage appeared on the computer screen.
The webpage was mainly black, with a white spider web icon in the top right corner, and at the very top, the large words “Web Network” fashioned in a special font that curved into the shape of a crescent moon.
At the center of the webpage, a login window popped up promptly.
Gu Zhiqi remembered reading about the Web Network in a novel.
The Web Network was an international trading website created by the female protagonist and a few hacker friends.
Ordinary people didn’t even know about its existence, and those who did couldn’t access it, as the website operated on a membership system, closed to non-members.
To become a member of the Web Network, there were two requirements:
One, you must have a base capital of nine million for registration, and that only allows you to be a Bronze member, the lowest level.
After that, you need to earn the internal currency of the website—Spider Coin.
Only when you have enough Spider Coin can you upgrade to higher membership levels.
Two, you must be referred by an insider or prove your own skills.
The Web Network was known to be a gathering of elites, especially those who had registered as members through skill verification—each one was a leading figure in their industry.
Looking at the login page that popped up on the screen, Gu Zhiqi’s fingers hesitated for a moment.
After a few seconds, she decided to proceed with the regular registration process.
When choosing a registration identity, she selected Diviner and clicked to register.
Soon, she was contacted proactively by the website’s administration.
