Shenyang, a place of deep mountains and old forests outside the city.

It was night, and the moonlight was shining on the earth.

The dark color of mercury shines on the woods of this small hill, and the lush woods are illuminated by the shadows of the trees, and the sound of the wind is blowing in the evening breeze, and the shadows of the trees are contrasting with each other, and the shadows are double, but the mountains and forests are more lush and lush.

In this kind of place, where there is no human technology, the foot of the mountain is surrounded by an ancient and durable concrete wall, and many guards wearing cold weapons and kinetic guns linger back near the gate of the wall, vigilantly carrying out their daily patrol duties.

There is no road to the outside, and even outside the fence there is a forest to shelter it.

If outsiders don't know exactly where this place is, they will only get lost in the unmarked forest if they rush into it.

】

There is a small area of tidyed space outside the main entrance of the wall, which seems to be specially used to park something, but under the effect of the holographic projection device, the sky above this small area of space is also covered by the illusory and invisible image of the woods.

In the silence of the night, an imperceptible sound of the engine of a floating car appeared in the air, faintly like the flapping of a bird's wings across the sky.

The guard standing at the door suddenly looked up at the floating car that came suddenly in mid-air, and a burst of blue light flashed in his calm dark eyes.

As if with permission, the float passed through the woods and slowly landed in the clearing outside the fence.

Finally, the door of the floating car opened, and Xu Wanmeng, who was dressed in simple home clothes, walked down with a nervous face.

The two stepped out of the floating car, and no one else in the car stepped down.

The bodyguards, assistants and other teams that used to follow behind them are also gone, and only the two of them are qualified to arrive at this hidden place tonight.

Stepping on the shadows of the trees reflected in the moonlight and facing the cool evening breeze, Xu Wanmeng walked on the bluestone floor, holding Xu Wenbin, who was a little uneasy behind her, and slowly walked to the door.

"The chairman is already waiting for you at the top of the mountain, Miss Wanmeng, Young Master Wen Bin."

"Besides, you shouldn't be carrying any smart electronics, right?"

Xu Wanxue shook her head and spread out her hands so that the doorman could see clearly that the home clothes she was wearing did not have pockets for holding items.

Xu Wenbin, who was behind him, also unfolded his hands in hindsight, and his clumsy posture was like a passenger who had passed through the security check for the first time.

"Thank you for your understanding..."

The muscular doorman bowed slightly, out of the way for the two of them to enter.

Xu Wanmeng owed a slight debt to the doorman, and then stopped staying, walked on the steps, and walked to the top of the mountain.

Looking up, you can vaguely see a quaint building of Feige Liudan, and there are special lanterns hanging in the corners of the eaves of the house, exuding electronic neon brilliance.

The whole small hill is not high, and I don't know how many times I have walked since I was a child, and when Xu Wanmeng and Xu Wenbin arrived at the top of the mountain, the two of them did not even have a trace of fatigue, and instead they were more nervous like ushering in a big test in life.

Coming to the wooden door of the pavilion, Xu Wanmeng knocked on the door, and soon there was a sound full of anger inside:

"Come in."

With the permission of the owner of the house behind the door, Xu Wanmeng and Xu Wenbin glanced at each other, and finally the older Xu Wanmeng took the lead in entering the room.

The cold moonlight poured the color of mercury on the ground through the paper window, and the indoor light was slightly dim, and a middle-aged man with a good appearance sat upright on the bed, sitting upright like a soldier, raising his hand with a terrifying majesty.

He doesn't look too old, but he exudes an aura of twilight and tranquility all over his body.

"Good evening, Grandpa." Walking indoors, Xu Wanmeng and Xu Wenbin said in unison, their attitudes and demeanors were extremely humble and in line with etiquette.

"Well, sit down." The middle-aged man who was called "grandpa" by the two looked up at the two of them and casually pointed to the chair in front of him.

As he instructed, the two of them also found a chair and sat down.

Looking at the middle-aged man who was calm and immobile like a mountain, Xu Wanmeng subconsciously pursed her lips, completely lacking the past calmness.

knew that the other party was her grandfather, but she didn't feel any warmth in her heart.

- Xu Shiming, the founder of the company, a retired army colonel, took over a defence company on the verge of collapse in the late 40s, and finally spent several years saving the company from the brink of collapse, under his guidance, the company was finally renamed Kangtao, and officially debuted internationally as if it had been reborn.

Today, Kang Tao has an unshakable position in the international market, all thanks to the man in front of him.

If you put it in more ancient times, he can definitely be called a heroic figure.

However, it is such an entrepreneur who is admired outside, and his status in the international trade market is comparable to that of Saburo Arasaka, and he can get a little appreciation from the other party, and this life is enough to be mixed...

With such a big man being his grandfather, if it were someone else, he might wake up laughing when he dreamed... But Xu Wanmeng was a little chilled tonight......

Xu Shiming picked up a teacup from the table and chair next to him, took a sip and moistened his throat, looked at the two people in front of him who looked nervous and didn't dare to speak, and asked without a smile:

"You two are here tonight to ask about the explosion at the refinery?"

Xu Wenbin weakly didn't dare to speak, he had been keeping his head down from the beginning of entering the door, and when he heard his grandfather's inquiry, he couldn't help but look at his sister on the side.

Only Xu Wanmeng dared to raise her head, pretending to look at Xu Shiming calmly, and said calmly:

"Yes, grandpa, about this accident... Father asked us both to come over and ask for your opinion, I wonder what you think about this? ”

"Heh, that guy won't come to see me in person, that's why he assigned you two guys to come over?"

Xu Shiming said surgingly: "As for this accident, how else can you look at it, it was just a relatively serious explosion accident, but what surprised me was that fortunately not too many people died this time, otherwise it would be a heavy blow to the company's reputation." ”

"It's because there's a mysterious guy who has thrown in the trouble... That's why so many lives have been saved. Xu Wanmeng explained slightly.

"Well, I know that a mysterious man who can use Sianweistein without restrictions, and who is not very old... It's really a hero out of a teenager. Xu Shiming said with emotion.

"I was there at the time, trying to keep that gentleman... But in the end, he refused. Xu Wanmeng said regretfully.

Xu Shiming said disapprenously:

"This kind of disorderly criminal, what's the use of keeping him, Hang Erlang should not have a proper shape... You should immediately issue a warrant for the whole city and arrest him as soon as possible..."

The military life in the past has left a deep impression on him and many habits until now, so even if he now has the assets of a rich country, he can still stick to a simple and self-disciplined life.

Because of this, he also hates such dangerous elements with "bad rules", even if he knows that the other party's original intention is to save innocent people.

Speaking of this, Xu Shiming's expression softened a little and said:

"But you also put forward your opinion, only with a wanted warrant, it is really impossible to find out the other party, and it will leave him with a bad impression, like this kind of dangerous person with good strength, it is better not to stimulate him too much, secretly investigating is the best choice, your approach is very good."

"Thank you grandpa for the compliment..."Xu Wanmeng bowed.

Looking at his very polite granddaughter, Xu Shiming continued to ask, "Do you want to ask anything else?" ”

Xu Wanmeng lowered her head slightly, as if she was considering the words of her speech, and muttered for a while before speaking:

"Regarding this accident, I think grandpa you misjudged, after an investigation in the evening, the investigation team got preliminary results, the real black hand behind this accident... It seems that there is a wandering AI playing tricks. ”

"Wandering AI? Oh, that's right... After all, they can destroy an entire refinery and turn off all the security systems, and they are the only ones who can do that. Xu Shiming said noncommittally.

"So, grandpa, don't you deny the results of this investigation?" Xu Wanmeng asked in a low voice.

"The truth will come out sooner or later, we just need to wait patiently for the results of the investigation, but in my opinion, this analysis is quite correct..."Xu Shiming said casually.

"So you asked me and Wen Bin to go to the industrial zone at that time to give condolences to the workers... Isn't this really a coincidence? Xu Wanmeng suddenly asked.

Xu Shiming's eyes instantly sharpened.

"What do you mean by that?"
