Chapter 221: The West Is Not Bright, The East Is Bright
Liu Xiao already knew the answer from Zhang Xiaohua's surprised expression, although he had already expected this possibility, but when he saw it with his own eyes, he was still very shocked, what kind of existence is Treading Snow Without a Trace? There is no secret in this world in his eyes, even such a confidential matter as kidnapping himself, Treading Snow Without a Trace can know in advance, Liu Xiao even doubts whether Treading Snow Without a Trace is a human being, he is a mythical clairvoyant and a good ear, or an almighty prophet?
"Let's go!" Liu Xiao locked the safe with a "snap", pulled out the piece of paper in Zhang Xiaohua's hand and stuffed it into his pocket, and then pulled Zhang Xiaohua and walked outside.
"What's going on?" Zhang Xiaohua looked at Liu Xiao, "Who left that note, how would he know that you are in danger!"
"Go back first, I'll explain to you when I have a chance!" Liu Xiao frowned, he was really puzzled, why could he always know everything in advance when he stepped on the snow without a trace, what was going on?
It is normal for Liu Xiao to appear downstairs in the company at any time, but it seems a little sudden at this time, the first person to see him is the security guard of the building, and the security guard ran over excitedly and saluted, "Liu ...... Mr. Liu, great, you can be regarded as returning safely!"
Liu Xiao smiled, "Thank you for your concern, thank you!"
As soon as the security guard was excited, he hurriedly shouted to the other people in the building: "Mr. Liu of the Soft Alliance is back! Mr. Liu of the Soft Alliance is back!"
As soon as the voice fell, Hulala surrounded a group of people, surrounded Liu Xiao in the middle and looked at it collectively, originally everyone was very worried, afraid that Liu Xiao would suffer, but now when I look at it, all arms and legs, people are not thin, they are not injured, and their expressions look good.
"Thank you, thank you!" Liu Xiao is usually very popular in the building, but at this time, there are so many people around him that he can only say thank you, and finally said: "I, Liu Xiao, am very grateful to everyone, thank you for your concern!"
Everyone said again and again that they must come, and then let go of Liu Xiao and Zhang Xiaohua.
The two of them had just taken two steps forward, and the people of the soft alliance had already gotten the news, and many people came down to pick up Liu Xiao, and the first batch to come down was a few directors of the company, and they still occupied the front desk to receive MM in favorable terrain.
"Mr. Liu!" The business director came over and hugged Liu Xiao, "I knew you would definitely be fine, just come back, just come back!"
The rest of the few also wanted to hug Liu Xiao, but the business director didn't let go if he hugged him, and a few had to say words of blessing and comfort on the side, Shang Yue was also very excited, and when he saw Liu Xiao, tears burst out, and he stood aside and wiped his tears.
"Okay, okay, I'm not fine!" Liu Xiao was very unaccustomed to being hugged by a big man for so long, so he pushed away the business director with a smile and said to the others: "Okay, let's go back to the company and talk slowly!"
"Mr. Liu!" The reception MM glanced at Zhang Xiaohua beside Liu Xiao, she still had an impression of Zhang Xiaohua, and said, "This is your girlfriend!"
"Yes!" Liu Xiao smiled and pushed Zhang Xiaohua in front of him, "Let me introduce to you, this is my girlfriend, Zhang Xiaohua!"
Everyone came up to know each other, only Shang Yue didn't move, she already knew it. After the crowd hugged the two of them upstairs and entered the soft alliance, and then there was a lively scene, and the employees of the soft alliance also put down their work one after another and came to see Liu Xiao and the legendary Liu Xiao's girlfriend.
Finally stabilized everyone, Liu Xiao took Zhang Xiaohua into his office to drink water, the water was just poured, and the reception MM knocked on the door again and walked in, "Mr. Liu, the mayor is here!"
Liu Xiao had to put down the water cup and hurriedly greeted him, the mayor had already walked to the door of Liu Xiao's office at this time, and when he saw Liu Xiao, he smiled and stretched out his hand, "You can be regarded as returning safely, our entire Haicheng City Government has been worried about you these days! It's good to come back, it's good to come back!"
"Thank you Mayor for your concern!" Liu Xiao hurriedly thanked him, "Come, sit in the office!"
After the mayor came in, he saw Zhang Xiaohua, frowned, and then put on a smiling face, "Hehe, Miss Zhang is also there, hello, hello, welcome to our Haicheng!"
"Hello Mayor Feng!" Zhang Xiaohua simply said hello and stood aside, she and Mayor Feng had no good impression of each other, Mayor Feng was worried that Zhang Xiaohua would seal the soft alliance, and Zhang Xiaohua was jealous that Mayor Feng would not let the soft alliance come to Fengming.
Mayor Feng sat down on the sofa, "If you can come back safely, I'm relieved!" Don't you know, our city public security bureau has come to me several times to petition in the past few days, saying that we will bring the most elite police officers to Fengming to rescue you, and our city attaches great importance to you!"
"Thank you for the city's concern for me personally!" Liu Xiao poured a glass of water for the mayor, "For my personal matter, it has made us uneasy in Haicheng, and I really can't help it!"
"That's not right!" Mayor Feng waved his hand, "You are the best entrepreneur in our Haicheng City, a good citizen of our Haicheng, and we, the public servants of the people, are to escort the safety of the lives and property of all the people of Haicheng." This is also our negligence, which failed to protect your safety and failed to live up to the high expectations of the people of Haicheng. ”
"Mayor Feng is serious!" Liu Xiao looked at the mayor, "Now that I'm back, don't mention this matter again!"
"Okay, okay, if you don't mention it, don't mention it!" Mayor Feng smiled, picked up the cup and snorted, looked at Zhang Xiaohua, and said: "Has the matter of Soft Alliance to Fengming Investment been decided?"
"It's decided! I'm going to set up a network security research center in Fengming and build a laboratory in this area!" Liu Xiao smiled.
Mayor Feng immediately frowned, the last thing he wanted to see was this thing, such a big cash cow, he had grown up in Haicheng, why should he transplant it to Fengming.
"But the headquarters of the Soft Alliance is still located in Haicheng!" Liu Xiao hurriedly explained, "We are going to build our own office building in Haicheng." ”
"Oh?" Mayor Feng couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Let's talk about it, see if there is anything that needs the support of the city?"
"In fact, I have already mentioned this idea in the company, to build an office building belonging to the soft alliance, not only to improve the office environment of the soft alliance employees, but also many other considerations, the first is security, the soft alliance sells the core of technology, this core is our lifeblood, must be protected, now with other companies crowded in this rented office building, security is really not guaranteed; second, we want to rely on the first-class hardware environment to attract more talents to join the soft alliance, talent is the foundation of the company's development, mayor, you also see the current situation of our company, in addition to a few supervisors have officesAll the other employees of Boiling Network are crammed into a large office area, which is actually very inconsistent with the working environment needs of employees like ours. Liu Xiao paused, "Take me as an example, when I think or write something, I am very afraid of others disturbing me, and I am used to working in a dimly lit environment, which will keep my energy full at all times and inspiration can come out." Most of the people who do technology work like this, they all need a working environment that suits them, and in the new building, I will have a separate office for each technician!"
"Okay, good, good idea!" Mayor Feng was relieved when he heard Liu Xiao say this, he didn't need to know what Liu Xiao was going to do, he just needed to confirm that Liu Xiao was ready to take root in Haicheng, "It's still what I promised last time, as long as the soft alliance can stay in Haicheng, the city will plan a piece of land for you as close to the city center as possible!"
"Thank you to the city government for your support to the soft alliance, in fact, you don't have to be in the city center, you can go anywhere!" Liu Xiao thanked again and again.
"That's it!" Mayor Feng waved his hand, he had to put the soft alliance close to his nose to rest assured, "I will let the comrades of the city planning bureau and the urban construction bureau see where it is suitable, and you guys should also hurry up and come up with a building plan, so that the city can make a comprehensive arrangement!"
"Yes, let's hurry up on this matter!" After Liu Xiao finished speaking, he said: "Mayor Feng, what you said in Haicheng last time, I don't know if there are any results in the city?"
"That's the matter!" Mayor Feng showed a hint of hesitation, "The city is still discussing, because the matter is very important and needs to be discussed in many ways, so there is no result yet!"
"That's the case!" Liu Xiao frowned, then looked at the mayor, "Does Mayor Feng know who kidnapped me this time?"
When Liu Xiao asked this, not only the mayor, but even Zhang Xiaohua, who was impatient on the side, pricked up her ears, she also asked Liu Xiao, but Liu Xiao didn't say.
"Who is it?" Mayor Feng asked, he didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing, but Liu Xiao asked, how could he have an expression.
"The mayor still remembers the major traffic accident in Haicheng a few months ago, right?" Liu Xiao looked at the mayor and prompted: "The traffic lights at many traffic intersections in the city are out of control, resulting in many traffic accidents, injuring many people, and then the whole city is in a traffic jam!"
"Of course I do!" the mayor coughed, apparently reluctant to talk about the subject.
"At that time, the network supervisor cooperated with the city and arrested a group of people!" Liu Xiao stood up, "I was the one who provided clues to the network supervisor at that time, and later the Cyber Security Bureau of the Ministry of Information Industry also issued a plaque to the soft alliance." Maybe the mayor also found out afterwards what the purpose of those people was in causing the traffic accident!"
The mayor looked at Liu Xiao in surprise, it turned out that it was Liu Xiao who reported the clues, no wonder he could know so many things, "There is such a thing!"
"The people we caught belong to a cyber espionage agency called DTK, they were hired to measure Haicheng's response capabilities and countermeasures in response to cyber attacks, in fact, they have a more important task, because of my report, these people have been wiped out, and that mission is considered a failure!" Liu Xiao looked back at the mayor, "The person who kidnapped me this time is the person who hired DTK behind the scenes, and they want me to help them continue the unfinished task of DTK!"
"Ah!!h
"This matter was originally not to be made public, and the reason why I want to tell the mayor today is to let you understand that other people's attempts against us will never be abandoned because we have lost a few people, and Haicheng will not be able to obtain permanent peace just because we have caught a few saboteurs. Liu Xiao looked at the mayor, "Everything is pre-planned, and if you don't prepare, you will be wasted, Haicheng's network security cannot be guaranteed by catching a few hackers, and you should do a good job in basic skills!"
The mayor locked his eyebrows and paced a few steps, Haicheng's network security really annoyed him, it's okay not to do it, there are several big messes as soon as he does it, the last time he listened to Liu Xiao's words, he also felt that cooperating with the soft alliance was definitely a great thing, but after thinking about it carefully, he really couldn't make up his mind, there had been several messes, Haicheng's network security really couldn't stand the toss, and he couldn't stand this toss, he didn't ask for merit now, but he didn't want to be guilty. "You let me think about it again!" the mayor probably still couldn't make up his mind, "I will definitely give you a letter in the next two days!"
Liu Xiao sighed, he was very helpless, he didn't rush to do anything according to the efficiency of procrastination, this was also the last time Liu Xiao persuaded Mayor Feng, he had tried his best, as for whether it would succeed or not, it was not up to him to decide. "Well, I'm waiting for news from the mayor!"
"Okay, then I'll go back and discuss with the city again! You're busy!" said the mayor, and walked towards the door, walked two steps and turned back, "Look at my brain, I almost forgot about business when I got there, and when I came to my house in the evening, I had already prepared a meal for you!"
After sending the mayor away, Zhang Xiaohua pouted and muttered: "You might as well cooperate with Feng Ming, I don't think he can make up his mind when he goes back." ”
Liu Xiao smiled and shook his head, "Forget it, let him be, it's not a reluctant thing!", Liu Xiao felt sorry in his heart, it seems that he can only cooperate with Estonian ZF!
National intelligence center of a European country
The person in charge was furious at this time, "The intelligence network that we have worked hard to operate in China for more than 10 years has been completely wiped out overnight, and the losses are so great, I need an explanation! Why did this happen?"
"The initial inference is that our actions against Liu Xiao have attracted the attention of the Chinese side, and they may have followed this clue to find out the whole situation in China!" said an official with two stars on his shoulder.
"In this matter, I don't need to deduce, I want exact news!" the person in charge stared at the two stars fiercely.
"China's operation to rescue Liu Xiao was launched at almost the same time as the operation against us, and based on this, it can already be determined that the problem lies in our operation to kidnap Liu Xiao!"
"Who is the person in charge of this operation?" the person in charge pounded the table, "I want him to explain it himself!"
"It's one of our backbones in China, codenamed XA064!" The two stars went to the side, and the big screen in the conference room showed a photo of gold wire glasses, "This is this person, he once helped us obtain a lot of valuable information, and he was promoted to the regional head the year before last, and this person is fully responsible for the kidnapping of Liu Xiao." After last night, we lost contact with XA064, according to reliable sources, this Chinese operation, did not capture XA064, which can also be confirmed from Liu Xiao's words at the press conference, but we have no way to find XA064 at present. ”
"You must find him, no matter what method you use!" The person in charge gritted his teeth, the anger in his heart was uncontrollable, and one action would cut off the entire intelligence network, this operation could be said to have failed to the extreme, he couldn't wait to pull the gold wire glasses over and shoot him 10,000 times, and the loss was his years of hard work.
"Yes!" the two stars responded coldly, and there was no big reaction.
"Paying such a big price and getting nothing, this is the most failed operation I've seen in decades, it's a shame!" the person in charge was still furious.
"We're not completely without gains, we've got a mailbox address!" said the two stars, who don't like to be yelled at.
"A mailbox address?" The person in charge stared at the two stars with a cannibalistic gaze, and a broken mailbox address could also be regarded as a harvest?
"This is the target Liu Xiao's mailbox, according to our analysis, this is a place for him to store secret tools, and his tools to penetrate the policy-level firewall are obtained from this mailbox, I think there is probably something valuable to us in it. "I've arranged for our engineers to crack the access code for this email address, and the results will be available soon!"
"Report!" A report rang out at this time, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and a herald quickly walked up to the two stars, "This is the latest report from the technical department!"
The two stars were accepted, and he raised his hand to signal the herald to go out, and then quickly flipped through the report sent and stood up, "Our engineers cracked Liu Xiao's mailbox password and found a lot of valuable things inside, including a policy-level core, a virtual attack tool, a tool to penetrate a policy-level firewall, a large number of tools used to access some key networks in China, and a report on the direction of network security development!"
When the person in charge heard this, he also stood up, and couldn't help but feel excited, he originally wanted to use Liu Xiao to crack the communication protocol of China's power supply network, but he didn't expect the result to be that the west was not bright and the east was bright, and that side did not succeed, but here was a lot of gains, and he said: "Immediately send experts over to verify the authenticity of these things." After speaking, the person in charge buttoned up his military hat, "Let's go and see it too!"
