Chapter 19 ZXC Group Established
After yesterday's thrilling series of 'adventure' journeys, Mike was too tired to remember how he fell asleep. When he woke up, it was already early afternoon, Jessica didn't let them go out during the day, and she was busy forging various passports and documents for several people. Mike had to close his eyes and recuperate on the single bed in the inn where he was hiding after eating and drinking, while Seth next to him returned to normal, silently fiddling with his laptop.
"That's right, Seth. What the hell do you do? Mike asked, feigned curiosity.
"I'm a hacker, hacking other people's computers." Seth replied confidently.
"Oh? Fix the computer? Jessica jokingly interjected.
"The world of high IQ can't be explained to you clearly. Hey? Look at the headlines: the steel giant with a history of more than 100 years, the Carnet Group, is on the verge of bankruptcy because of an oolong announcement in the Shata country that the futures market has exploded. The bizarre announcement is accompanied by the mysterious signature 'zxc', and the mystery is pure accident or a huge conspiracy buried behind the mystery! Seth said proudly.
"You can't be the, Seth. Wasn't you in the server room of Shata? Mike said half-teasingly, half-tentatively, Seth
"According to your logic, weren't you there at the time? Then the three of us can't get rid of suspicion. Seth replied splashingly.
The Kan Dashan of the two also piqued Jessica's interest, so she also stopped her work and participated in the discussion.
"Haha, aren't we the mysterious ZXC group that the newspapers say beat the business giants? Come to think of it, my name Jessica has a C in the middle. Then c stands for my Luo. ”
"My idol is Zorro, so Z represents me." Mike preemptively said.
"Why do you just give me a fork? My name has nothing to do with x hair! Seth grumbled.
"You stupid x, x doesn't suit you too much! Even the stupidity in front of me is saved, how environmentally friendly, hahaha!! Jessica laughed with Mike and rolled her mouth together.
"If you want me to say, this zxc may just be pressing the wrong key on the keyboard while typing. You see, these three letters are next to each other. Where are there so many conspiracies? It's just deceptive. Seth tried to get away from the subject.
The journey is magical, and it allows these three young people, who don't know each other and have very different personalities, to quickly get closer to each other. Although friends are not yet available, intimacy is touched.
It was late at night, and a tired Seth fell asleep in bed early. Mike and Jessica changed into black sweatshirts and hooded and set off for Mike's house. The two got off the bus at a distance of 2 intersections from Mike's house.
"I've been told that your home has been sealed since the fire. After the previous agents cremated your mother, the ashes were hidden back in an undamaged safe in your home. The password was changed to 208795. As the saying goes: the most dangerous place is often the safest place, so they don't think about it. Your sister is certainly not there now, but if we take a closer look at the scene, we may be able to find some clues. Jessica said to Mike.
"Okay, thank you, Sister J." Mike thanked him from the bottom of his heart
"Silly boy, you are the benefactor of the old king, and the old king is my benefactor, so these are my duties. By the way, did you find Seth's black box? Jessica asked.
"No, I searched his bag while he was in the shower, but I didn't find it." Mike said helplessly
"It looks like he's going to have it with him, as I guessed, he was supposed to have it with him. It's okay, let's get busy with the important things at hand. As long as we can keep him with us all the time, there are more opportunities. Jessica replied confidently.
The two quietly stepped over the seal and sneaked into the house. Although the fire has passed for some time, the smell of burning inside has not completely dissipated, and there is a scene of chaos everywhere. Countless happy days and nights have been spent here, but now the warm home in his memory has changed beyond recognition. Like a solidified scar, Mike felt cold. He patted the dust that had accumulated on the safe, opened and removed his mother's urn inside. His hands holding the box trembled unconsciously, and tears had quietly trickled down his eyes. The last time we met, the person who was obviously lying alive in his arms, how could he suddenly become this cold, small, lifeless 'thing'. This kind of qualitative change is cruel, and it is a kind of criminal law that is more painful than holding a knife and constantly twisting it in the heart.
"Condolences, Mike." Jessica comforted Mike as she patted him on the shoulder.
"I'm sorry, Sister J. Manhood shouldn't cry, it makes you laugh. Mike said with a wry smile wiping tears from his eyes.
"You know what, Mike. You are unlucky, and at the same time lucky. I even envy you a little. At least you once had a good mom worth crying about. And I was abandoned by my biological parents as soon as I was born, and I didn't know who I wanted to cry for a while. Jessica also said with a wry smile.
"Sister J, can I lend you an empty bullet shell?" Mike asked.
Jessica immediately emptied a bullet case and handed it to Mike. Mike took a bit of his mother's ashes out of the urn and poured it in and covered it, trying to put it in his pocket. Jessica stopped, helped Mike tie the rope and put it around his neck.
"Let's look for another clue." Jessica said to Mike.
"Okay." Mike replied.
With that, the two searched around the house with flashlights.
"Judging by the traces of the spread of the fire, the fire should be in your kitchen. Judging by the incidence of several bullet marks, I guess they first infiltrated through the window of your kitchen and set it on fire, and then hid back in the utility room outside the kitchen to wait for the results of the mission to be confirmed. But they didn't expect you to slip out in the middle of the night and come back with men. Seeing that things were lost, he temporarily changed the assassination to kidnapping, shot and kidnapped your sister. And this gang is ruthless, kidnapping, assassination, and threats have always been their usual tactics. Jessica said to Mike after scouting around.
"These bastards, I really want to dismantle them with my own hands!" Mike said through gritted teeth.
"Did you find anything over there, Mike?" Jessica deliberately digressed the subject.
Mike cleared up a bit and said, "I didn't find any clues. But we can ask one of my neighbors if he might find anything. ”
"Neighbors? Is the other party reliable? Otherwise, let me test it tomorrow. I'm responsible for your safety, and if my identity is revealed, we'll be targeted. Jessica said
"It's okay, he's my best friend. Let's go. With that, Mike carried the urn and Jessica to Rain's house. He habitually tapped lightly on the glass window of the bedroom near the rain. But no one answered for half a day.
"What does this smell like, why does it stink so much?" Jessica asked in a whisper behind her nose.
Mike also smelled a foul smell coming from the rain house. Mike took out his phone from his pocket and was about to call, Jessica snatched it up, immediately took out the phone card inside and said, "Oh my God! You must never use this to make a phone call again, you know! They have their own private spy satellites! Come, you use mine. Remember not to talk for more than thirty seconds at a time. With that, he handed Mike a special mobile phone.
Mike dialed Rain's number, but no one answered. But the phone ringing that seemed to be faintly hearing rain came from inside.
"Look at me." With that, Jessica pulled out a thin hair pick from behind her hair and easily unlocked the door of the Yu family. As soon as the door opened, a foul smell came over my face. The two pinched their noses and cautiously sneaked in. The room was pitch black, and the two crept in. Mike gently pushed open the rainy bedroom door. Suddenly! A fat figure jumped up from the ground and shouted, "Who is it?!" Mike heard that it was rain, he quickly turned on the light, then stepped forward to cover the rain's mouth and whispered, "It's me!" It's me! Mike! Jessica followed suitably into the room.
If you don't turn on the lights, you don't know, the house is really a mess. Dirty clothes and socks were everywhere, and scraps of snacks and unfinished instant noodles were scattered on the floor. Jessica thought to herself: No wonder it stinks, this is where people live!
Rain hugged Mike tightly as if he had found a life-saving straw and cried, "Where have you been, Mike?" I thought I'd never see you again. Why do all the people leave me all at once! Am I doing something wrong? Isn't it? ”
"What the hell is going on, Rain?" Mike asked immediately
It was no coincidence that Mike would never have imagined that what he did would affect his fate from a distance of 108,000 miles. Since the legendary ZXC group defeated the steel giants, the branches of its group have been closed, including the Les Financial Group, which had been in full swing until now. The accounts, real estate, and funds in the names of the Zales father and son were frozen and seized by the banks that were lightning fast. One day, Zamuk, a former young talent who couldn't accept the reality, drove his Lamborghini supercar, which had not yet been reclaimed, went crazy on the already narrow road of the Islamic country. He crossed the line to overtake, and the oncoming truck couldn't dodge a steering wheel and hit the bike lane. The mother of Yu, who rarely walked this road, but only worked overtime too late, and took a shortcut in order to rush home in time to cook for her son, pressed the bicycle she was riding under the car. The truck driver saw that he had hit someone and fled in panic. Zamuk also abandoned the car and disappeared into the crowd. The traffic police rushed to the scene, took Yu's mother to the hospital and notified Yu. However, due to the severity of the injury, the doctor could not do anything to inform the rain waiting outside the operating room. The kind police helped Yu take care of his mother's funeral and helped him get most of the insurance money. But the rain, who has been dependent on her mother since she was a child, is like losing her backbone and completely losing the direction of her life. In the past, he waited for his mother to get off work on time at half past six, but he never heard the familiar sound of the keychain when his mother opened the door. He hid in his bedroom every day in a trance, making bowls of instant noodles when he was hungry and drinking at the tap when he was thirsty. Kind-hearted policemen occasionally come to see him, but after all, the other party is busy with official business, and he is also powerless.
"Uncle cop said it was Zamuk who killed my mother, and you're going to avenge me, Mike! 555~" Rain said crying.
Hearing about the fate of his brother, who had a similar fate, Mike was also angry and hated the same enemy. His father ruined his own family, and he indirectly caused Yu's mother's car accident. This new hatred and old hatred are combined, even if they let their father and son die ten thousand times, it is not too much! And they are also one of the important clues to find the sister, so be sure to find them to settle accounts!
"My sister was also captured by them, and we were looking for them! Don't worry, I promise you'll get the two bastards they deserve! Mike swore to the rain.
"The policeman's uncle said that they were also looking for him, and he heard that someone had recently seen two people who looked like them picking up garbage at the garbage dump in the east end of the city. But I went to look for it, but I couldn't find it. Rain said dejectedly.
"It's getting late, let's look for it tomorrow." Jessica said.
"Come with us, Rain." Mike said
"Okay." Rain replied immediately.
"By the way, I forgot to introduce it just now. It's rain, and my hair is small. This is Jessica, you can call her Sister J. She's here to help us. Mike whispered to each other.
