110 Chapter 82: A Twist of Fate
The woman took a pen and wrote down an address on a piece of paper. After hesitating for a moment, she added a WeChat ID above it, and handed the paper to Yan Fei along with the USB drive. She said, "If you don't find anyone at that warehouse, it means we've been completely annihilated. Please contact this WeChat ID."
Yan Fei took the USB drive and then noticed that the address on the paper was a warehouse in Tokyo Bay. He lifted the USB drive in his hand and curiously asked, "Does this contain secret materials stolen from Japanese high-tech companies?"
The woman, dissatisfied, said, "What kind of outdated thinking is that? Do you really think our country's technology is still so backward? The data in this USB drive is the core data of a high-tech technology that leads the world by at least ten years. However, due to a betrayal within, it was stolen, and the original core data was completely deleted by the traitor. If these core data are lost, our country will suffer a tremendous loss and it will even severely impact the development of our military technology level. After we discovered the theft, we started a pursuit domestically, but the person who stole the data is extremely cunning. He set up false leads all over the country, making it impossible for us to pinpoint his exact escape route. In the end, we had to act separately. I was sent to Japan and ended up trapping that traitor here and finally retrieving the stolen data."
It was only then that Yan Fei realized that the secret data from China had been stolen. In recent years, China's technology had started to boom, with various technological innovations leading the world. Although there were still shortcomings, in some areas, it had already begun to lead the entire world. Now other countries coveted our technology, wanting to steal these high and new technologies for themselves. From the way his own Dream Foods had nearly had its manufacturing process stolen by Japan's Oogawa Family, one could see this trend. He just hadn't expected to encounter a national worker in Tokyo chasing a traitor.
Yan Fei, curious, said, "I have a computer here. Do you want to use the computer to send the data back to China, or save it on cloud storage? It will definitely be safer than carrying around a USB drive."
Yan Fei had the Universal Space and could carry the USB drive within it, making it undetectable by anyone else. He had just been stirring up a bit too much trouble lately and wanted to keep a low profile to avoid any complications, which is why he wanted to dispose of this hot potato as soon as possible.
The woman said, "This USB drive has a network virus implanted by the traitor. As soon as any device plugs into it, it will send a real-time location to his behind-the-scenes organization. So the moment I plug this USB drive into your computer, the virus will activate, not only revealing our location but also locking the data inside, making it impossible to upload or copy the data."
Yan Fei asked, "In that case, isn't this USB drive impossible to open?"
With a cold laugh, the woman said, "Our country's supercomputers have long ranked first and second in the world. They have incredible computing power. With enough time in a secure environment, they can easily crack the network virus on this USB drive and retrieve all the data inside. I just lack the time now. Look outside, the police are getting closer."
Yan Fei glanced outside the window and saw that police had already entered the courtyard.
The woman then said to Yan Fei, "Comrade, you don't know my name and I don't know yours, but we are both Chinese. We all wish to see our motherland grow strong, so I'm entrusting this arduous task to you. I believe you won't let me down. Stay here while I go out to draw the police away. Be careful and don't act recklessly. Wait for me here at home. If I don't show up three days later, go to the address I gave you and hand the USB drive to the person there."
Yan Fei was about to say more when the woman, seeing the urgency of the situation, shushed him and then jumped out of the window, returning to her own room. Holding the USB drive, Yan Fei suddenly felt as though it weighed a ton. He quickly placed the USB drive into the Universal Space, and with that, no one else could take it away from him.
Yan Fei had just caught his breath when he heard a loud bang from the next room, and then someone jumped out, kicking a police officer away and grabbing his gun. The other officers were shocked and just as they were about to draw their guns, the person fired continuously, killing several officers in the courtyard, displaying impressive shooting skills.
Yan Fei looked and saw that the person who had jumped out was the same woman from before, but now she had a piece of fabric covering her face, preventing anyone from seeing her features. The woman moved swiftly and decisively, killing the policemen in the courtyard before dashing away without looking back.
Just then, a police car suddenly rushed forward, slamming into the young woman. With a nimble flip, the woman landed on the roof of the police car and shot downwards, killing the police driver. She then leaped onto the roof of a neighboring shop, ready to escape. Suddenly, a roar came from below, and a man dressed in black soared into the air, brandishing a cane knife at the woman in the air.
