Chapter 241 Section 241 - This matter is not over
"Meow, meow, meow, mine, mine!"
Honestly, the small vest he was wearing now was far more threatening than the Big Dog's Leg from earlier. The Golden-Eyed Azure-Hearted Civet rushed to Chen Fei's side and rubbed vigorously against his shin.
After all, it was a Magical Beast of the Human Order Seventh Rank and almost knocked Chen Fei over.
"The Universal Data Transceiver" on his wrist produced the same effect, and Chen Fei tore off another small vest.
"It's all Chen Fei's fault, his idea, all of it! I'm the one who suffered greatly because of it."
Feeling safe again, the Golden-Eyed Azure-Hearted Civet immediately switched sides and started to snitch.
It had vomited three times in a single day, and its stomach was a little worse for wear!
Chen Fei smiled without explanation and continued to help the Li Family Siblings release their self-destructing vests.
If these small vests were to explode all at once, this private club would be leveled to the ground instantly.
"Mr. Chen, what is this all about, thinking you can just take the Li Family's money... Ah! Sis, why are you hitting me!"
Li Xingxing had just gotten rid of the explosive vest and was about to spill the beans when his older sister kicked him hard.
"Would the Chen Family care about such a small amount of money?"
Li Wanjiji glared at her younger brother.
This unreliable guy never thought before he spoke.
Chen Fei silently said to himself: He really was short on money!
"What exactly happened here? Can you explain?"
Li Gaogao, the Eldest of the Li Family, was still very composed and did not question Chen Fei as carelessly as the youngest, Li Xingxing.
Chen Fei did not speak, instead turning his gaze to the bodyguards.
He did not believe the Li Family's young masters and young miss could have a mole among them; such issues as the real vs. fake AI unit leaking could be a real concern for Tianjiu Finance's intelligence capability.
But before this incident, the Magical Beast identity of the Golden-Eyed Azure-Hearted Civet Er Lang had not been exposed, which could serve as a criterion for weeding out spies, to thoroughly comb through the internal team.
Li Gaogao narrowed his eyes slightly, immediately understanding the suggestion from Chen Fei and turned around.
"Everyone out, wait outside, Second Brother, Third Brother, you two are in charge of the door, no one else gets to come close."
"Mhm, leave one electronic device scanner behind."
Chen Fei took the opportunity to add.
"What about me?"
The Golden-Eyed Azure-Hearted Civet looked at Chen Fei and Li Gaogao, then at the door, hesitating.
"Whatever!"
Having dealt with people a lot, Chen Fei actually trusted Magical Beasts more. Even though they were often silly and dumb, they tended to be simple-minded, stubborn to some extent, and incapable of the deceit and manipulation at which humans excel.
The Golden-Eyed Azure-Hearted Civet happily jumped onto the high-backed chair behind the big desk and lay down as if it belonged there.
I am tired, my subjects, you may kneel!
"Eh?"
Li Yuan cocked her head, confused; Big Brother's order was strange. Does he not trust her and her younger brother now?
"Us?"
Li Xingxing looked at himself incredulously, his face a portrait of disbelief.
He was unhappy, very unhappy.
This Mr. Chen was treating a feather as a Mandate Arrow.
"Out, everyone out!"
Li Gaogao repeated his command with determination.
It was not a matter of distrust towards his siblings, but where there's a wall, there are ears. He needed trustworthy people to guard the door.
"Tsch!"
Li Yuan and Li Xingxing exchanged a look and left the office resentfully with the bodyguards.
An electronic device scanner, over two feet long and shaped like a tennis racket, was left behind. Chen Fei picked it up right away and started sweeping the office.
Moments later, he found four or five electronic devices, ranging in size from large as an egg to small as a button.
Some were installed by the private club itself, some by the Li Family in secret, and others were of unknown origin.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
If Chen Fei had used his Metal Elemental Psychic Power to scan openly and removed them, it would no longer be clear who placed them. So even if the end result was the same, the procedure had to be followed in order.
"Sure enough!"
Seeing the foreign listening devices apart from those of the Li Family, Li Gaogao had a sudden realization, which confirmed his suspicions.
He thought they were loose on the outside but tight on the inside, without any slips, but it turned out to be as full of holes as a colander, allowing someone to secretly install so many devices.
Chen Fei crushed all the unidentified electronic devices in his hand, shaking their remains into the trash can, and then spoke, "The leak isn't just due to these, but it doesn't matter, the truth isn't important."
Did he, Chen Xiao'er, need evidence for his actions?
Not at all!
Usually, you just hammer it out!
Nowadays, college students aren't bookworms; they need to have strong hands-on skills!
"What do you mean?"
Li Gaogao vaguely guessed some of it but did not grasp the whole picture.
"Both of those AI units are fake, you can arrange for people to spread the word that the real goods have been stolen," Chen Fei spread his hands and continued, "It's a case of falling into mud, whether it's crap or not, it has become crap!"
Li Gaogao was taken aback, then instantly understood.
Brilliant!
"Meow!"
The big cat behind the large desk yawned, purring loudly...
"Got it, I'll arrange for someone to handle it right away!"
With just a slight reminder, Li Gaogao realized that this was a rare opportunity to turn the tide effortlessly from disadvantage to advantage.
The truth indeed no longer mattered, the gang had taken away the "Shanyu" of Burnt Mountain, and if it were publicized more, it would surely attract the attention from various parties.
Who knows, it might even provoke some unimaginable entities!
"And that little sphere!"
Chen Fei wiggled his index finger, reminding the other party.
If the other party didn't mind, then he wouldn't mind either.
In the skill "File Management Plugin," two new folders were added, one named "AI-Virus" and the other "Adam-AI_2.0," which contained a Project_Source (development kit) and Compiler (compiler).
Due to the restrictions of the underlying rules, the re-programmed artificial intelligence AI "Adam" couldn't be cut or copied at will, but in front of the "Universal Data Transceiver" and "File Management Plugin," even the underlying rules seemed to be packaged and taken away with you.
Li Family's eldest son took a deep breath and said in a grave voice, "Where is the stuff?"
"Buddha says: Not to be said!"
Chen Fei shrugged his shoulders, opting to keep the other party in suspense for a bit longer.
Li Gaogao glanced at Chen Fei's wrist without changing his expression and instantly guessed something. Understanding the situation without disclosing it, they both nodded to each other in silent agreement, "I'll give it to you when we get there!"
"Understood!"
Talking to a smart person was not exhausting. Chen Fei immediately understood the other party's intention and made an OK hand gesture.
The game had only just begun.
Li Gaogao used Tianjiu Finance and the Li Family's networks to spread the information. Because it was a mix of truth and falsehood, it was difficult for others to discern, stirring up quite a commotion. Whether it was the American Federation or the surrounding sovereignties, all expressed close attention to the matter.
The "Intelligent Rebellion" from thirty years ago had already been declassified and was known to the public, but who knew whether someone would rashly adapt this dreadful malicious artificial intelligence to fit today's hardware, software, and network environments, potentially reigniting its resurgence.
Such an act was essentially making enemies with the whole world.
As the entity responsible for the commission and as the guarantor agency, Tianjiu Financial Company would likely not escape blame for the hijacked AI "Adam" unit and would have to bear considerable pressure.
However, the forces that had snatched away the two little spheres faced even greater pressure, having not anticipated that the Li Family would not choose to swallow their anger and suppress the matter quietly. Instead, they burst forth without care; they might lose face, but the ensuing series of events caught many off guard.
The American Federation was in an internal disquiet.

On the third day, in the afternoon.
"Finally back!"
Having smoothly passed customs and security, Li Gaogao, Li Wanjiji, and Li Xingxing each let out a sigh of relief in unison, their voices coinciding as they spoke.
"It went relatively smoothly!"
Accompanying the three siblings from the Li Family back was also Chen Fei.
It seemed like the American Federation couldn't wait to get rid of them, offering no obstacles and allowing the four to board an international flight together. After a 14-hour flight, they landed safely back in their home country.
"This isn't over!"
Li Gaogao shook his head.
The Li Family had suffered a setback this time, but the enemy didn't fare much better. As Chen Fei had said, once the yellow mud fell into one's crotch, whether it was shit or not was no longer up to them to decide.
"You guys handle it carefully on your own; don't mess it up!"
As one of the involved parties, Chen Fei himself seemed unaffected. A mere minion, no one would take him seriously. Aguard had been killed, and his record remained spotless, a genuine law-abiding citizen.
Moreover, with Tianjiu Finance and the Li Family out front, there was no chance of involving a descendant of the Chen Family Gate. From the onset, the eldest of the Li Family had already erased Chen Fei's significance when making the phone call.
"We've got it under control. Since you're here, come spend a couple of days at our place, and then I'll escort you back!"
As Tianjiu Finance's base of operations was in the Capital City, Li Gaogao naturally extended hospitality as the host.
It was only natural for the Li Family to receive a young member of the Chen Family.
"No problem!"
Chen Fei gave the OK hand gesture once again.
The airport was crowded and not the place for certain discussions.
Watching the eldest and the man surnamed Chen exchange veiled banter, Li Xingxing looked bewildered, wondering what sort of unspeakable topics they were discussing.
Li Wanjiji just wanted to rush and relax with an aromatic SPA treatment.
She didn't want to visit that wretched place in the American Federation again this year.
The Jianghu was treacherous; home was always more comfortable.
Before claiming his luggage, Chen Fei went to pick up the animal air transport crate.
Even though they had lost the mission items, the Golden-Eyed Azure-Hearted Civet Er Lang still followed.
The Li Family had entrusted the magical beast to Chen Fei's care, for which an additional fee was paid.
After all, Er Lang got along best with Chen Fei since their first meeting. Having them together also put everyone else's mind at ease.
After retrieving the luggage from the carousel, Chen Fei was about to stack the air transport crate for the big cat on top of it. The cat inside curled up into a ball, sleeping soundly, impervious to noise and shaking; it had no idea that it was off the plane already. Explore hidden tales at empire
Li Gaogao, also there to collect luggage, suddenly said, "Open it and check."
