"Bold move! It seems we've been silent for too long, and now even the likes of stray cats and dogs dare to provoke us." In the Shanghai branch of Red Dragon Security, an elderly man in his fifties with graying hair displayed a brutal expression upon hearing the news from his subordinates.
In an instant, the entire office was filled with a heavy atmosphere, as if the air itself had thickened. The frail figure of the old man appeared unusually imposing, causing the other executives standing before him to hold their breath.
"Old Director, calm down. Sigh, we have indeed encountered various issues internally recently; I just didn't expect the first to jump out would do so this early, and in our own territory no less." A middle-aged man in his forties stood before him, a bitter smile on his face. His left arm appeared somewhat out of place; upon closer inspection, it was a prosthetic.
He addressed the elderly man as Old Director, speaking with a tone of respect.
When the news first reached him, he was taken aback. Being provoked in their own territory was truly perplexing.
It wasn't until Brother Song's call came through that he fully confirmed the situation.
Due to preconceived notions, everyone present immediately associated this provocation with recent internal events at Red Dragon, believing it to be a premeditated move aimed at testing their circumstances.
Thus, instead of discussing feasible rescue options, they gathered the management team from Security Division Three for this brief meeting.
"We need to make contact with HLI Company before they do. Clearly, they have a thorough understanding of our internal situation and may even have channels to directly obtain our information. They’ve lured Captain Song and his team into a trap step by step; it's all intricately connected." Once a preconceived notion took hold, the ensuing discussion naturally delved deeper into this possibility, arriving at a 'reasonable' conclusion.
This security mission had already dispatched key personnel like Song Enfu for initial contact, demonstrating Red Dragon's seriousness.
Yet this main force was similarly suppressed by the opposing 'frontline' personnel. It was evident that their adversaries had come prepared.
Consequently, any reaction from their side might still be strategically arranged!
"Hey? With Red Dragon's reaction speed, it's surprising they haven't made any moves yet. This seems rather unusual." Glancing at the time, Yang Xiaoyou observed two clumsy girls jostling each other over a computer and couldn't help but feel puzzled.
Shanghai was an important branch for Red Dragon; theoretically, there should always be a top-tier fighting force on standby here.
Although the security department was considered second-line combat power for Red Dragon, most members were veterans who had retired from frontline duties due to age, injuries, or fatigue. While their overall strength might not differ significantly, they were in a relatively more comfortable environment now.
But the power at the tip was equally terrifying; it might not last long, but its explosive force was no less formidable.
Yet here, deep within the territory of the opposing force, he had held onto someone for so long. To be safe, he even allowed them to make a phone call once, but now, not a single message had come through.
When did the Red Dragon become so cautious?
Yang Xiaoyou understood his own position quite well. The Hive Security Company, while now quite famous, could not compare to the Red Dragon in terms of depth and accumulation. He wasn't arrogant enough to think that his 'reputation' could intimidate the other side.
"Is this the calm before the storm? The longer it accumulates, the more fierce the backlash will be when it finally erupts. I didn't expect you all to think so highly of me." After pinching the bridge of his nose in frustration, Yang Xiaoyou couldn't help but chuckle self-deprecatingly.
Originally, according to the plan, the Hive Security Company's next move was supposed to wait for some changes in the Middle East. They would take advantage of that opportunity to showcase their achievements and stabilize their position before implementing anything.
That would undoubtedly allow the Hive Security Company to present its strongest form.
However, plans often change unexpectedly. With this sudden commotion, they had taken a step forward earlier than anticipated. Of course, there were benefits to this approach; if they could resolve issues ahead of time, it would alleviate a lot of pressure.
After all, when they began to give back and the Hive Security Company experienced an unprecedented surge, it would attract many eyes, and the pressure and benefits would be directly proportional.
Which method would be more effective? Even Yang Xiaoyou's computer-like thought process couldn't make accurate judgments without implementation.
He understood that his Cognitive Acceleration and enhancements in mental Aspects primarily improved memory, Reaction speed, thinking speed, and other hardware indicators. They didn't have a significant correlation with traditional IQ; they only provided supplementary boosts.
Otherwise, if he possessed thinking abilities similar to that of the Demoness or that mischievous one, combined with various hardware indicators, it would truly be overwhelming.
Well, Dream Butterfly was higher in Spirit Realm capabilities but ended up being like that—an excellent example of how things can go awry.
"Just drag it out as long as possible; hopefully, Nobunaga Hideyoshi can make some arrangements on his end." After exhaling and shaking off his worries from his mind, Yang Xiaoyou began to relax.
When soldiers come, they block; when water comes, soil covers. After the arrangements have been made, all that’s left is to see how Both Sides will make their moves.
However, just as Yang Xiaoyou was preparing to gather her strength and patiently wait for the Red Dragon to make a move, the phone rang unexpectedly. Seeing that the caller was Meng Lu Girl, Yang Xiaoyou felt quite surprised.
This Girl had been having so much fun during the summer vacation that she still remembered to call her; it seemed her efforts were not in vain.
“Hello? You didn’t even contact us after you arrived! Hmph, you’re not secretly meeting with that student President and your department head, are you?” As soon as the call connected, Yang Xiaoyou heard a series of complaints, and she could imagine the owner of that voice pouting in displeasure.
“I just got here and went to find you guys right away. Since Old Master Feng took you all out to play, I naturally didn’t want to disturb you. Is Chen Hao with you? How’s he doing? What’s going on with him and Huang Ling?” After rolling her eyes at the phone, Yang Xiaoyou casually replied.
Receiving a call from Girl at this moment lifted the heavy and gloomy mood in her heart, making her feel much more relaxed.
“Don’t talk about it; they’re practically glued together like Rice Noodle Meat. It’s driving me crazy! By the way, why isn’t anyone answering your phone at home? Are you out? Want to come hang out with us? We’re in Shanghai.” On the other end, Qi Menglu sounded somewhat sulky, which also gave Yang Xiaoyou insight into Chen Hao’s recent situation. Thankfully, nothing had changed due to her meddling.
However, when she heard that the group was also in Shanghai, Yang Xiaoyou couldn’t help but twitch her mouth. She then glanced at Dream Butterfly and Fia, and thinking about the silence from the Red Dragon side made her feel a bit overwhelmed.
Although she really wanted to go out and have fun with her long-lost companions, it was clear that now was not the time.
She estimated that she would have to go to the countryside to work for a couple of days; hopefully, she could make it back by night.
