Xiaomi Heavy Industry, its first entrepreneurial venture!

Chapter 477 Hot Potato! (Third Update!)
?

The sudden message and its inexplicable content left Lin Yi with a huge question mark in his mind. At the same time, he felt that there was something wrong with the person on the other end.

And it’s a big problem!

He took a deep breath and tentatively replied with a question mark.

Shortly after the question mark was sent, Eisent's message was retracted.

At the same time, another message appeared:
The requirements have been sent to your email; please check your inbox!

As soon as he saw the message, Lin Yi's computer also made a "ding-dong" sound. Turning his head, he saw a message pop up in the lower right corner of the computer screen: a new email.

Filled with curiosity, Lin Yi opened the email.

The email contained Eisent's specific requirements for the eavesdropping equipment.

The dimensions, transmission frequency, and exterior color are listed one by one in the document, along with a time.

36 hours.

All of this needs to be handled within 36 hours.

Just as he was racking his brains trying to figure out how to get this thing out, there was a knock on the office door. Before anyone inside could respond, the door was pushed open from the outside, and Ji Shuangshuang's head peeked out from the crack in the door: "What are you doing?"

"what?"

"Yoshigo Hidehiro just called and said that the Japanese company's account just received $100 million. The sender was a private account, and we need to pay taxes. He asked me what to do! I knew right away that it was you who did this. What do you say?"

"Just follow the normal procedures."

"it is good!"

The door closed, and Lin Yi's gaze returned to the emails before he opened the system.

This whole thing is strange in every way.

However, no matter whose event it is, I, Chu, have to lend a hand and show my support.

The system opened and scanned the requirements in the email. Lin Yi then added a small personal request to the requirements.

The requirement is simple: just send an extra copy of the message when sending it, and make sure it is never detected.

Adjust the requirements and click confirm.

[The project has been completed. Based on a comprehensive evaluation and analysis, it requires an investment of 200 million yuan in research and development. Should this funding be allocated?]

confirm!

Within just a few seconds, the system began outputting data.

After spending two hours reviewing the data, Lin Yi copied it out and then called Mao Xiaofei over, solemnly handing it to him:

"Find Liu Daneng and work with him to get this ready for me. Then, make 1800 copies."

"A plane will arrive today or tomorrow, carrying 1800 Nokia phones. You need to put what you've made into these 1800 Nokia phones."

"The installation location is already shown in the drawings."

"We'll take a closer look then!"

This time, Mao Xiaofei didn't take the data immediately. Instead, he looked at the hard drive in Lin Yi's hand as if it were a hot potato.

After a long while, he tentatively reached out his hand, then abruptly withdrew it, and cautiously asked:

"Senior brother, aren't we breaking the law?"

"The phone was stolen by the Americans, and the purchaser was an Algerian tribe. It has nothing to do with us."

Having figured out where the phones went, Mao Xiaofei reached out and grabbed the hard drive: "Give it to me!"

What is the time limit?

Upon hearing this question, Lin Yi turned to look at the email, checked the time the email was received, then looked at the time displayed on the computer in the lower right corner, and said, "33 hours."

"It took 33 hours to make these things and install them on the phone."

Upon hearing that there were only 33 hours left, a fighting spirit ignited in Mao Xiaofei's eyes, and he patted his chest casually: "Leave it to me!"

After he left with the hard drive, Lin Yi took out his phone again, stared at the names in his contacts for a long time, and finally chose to call Guo Song.

After all, among the people I know, only this old man has a lot of free time.

"Why are you calling me? Have you finished your work with the Navy?"

"I have something interesting that I'd like your opinion on!"

The phone rang with sounds of someone moving around on the sofa, followed by Guo Song's curious voice: "Tell me, what's this fun thing?"

Lin Yi waited a few seconds, organizing his thoughts, before speaking slowly and deliberately:

"I just received an order to install eavesdropping hardware on 1800 Nokia mobile phones shipped from Spain to Algeria within 36 hours."

"The client is America's Central War Zone."

"The purchasing party, according to their information, is a terrorist group from the Constantine region of Algeria."

"I feel I have to tell you guys about this funny thing."

After these words were spoken, a long silence fell on the other end. After a moment of silence, Guo Song cautiously spoke:
"Well... as far as I know, Constantine Province is the third largest province in Algeria. The overall security situation is good. There are occasional small-scale attacks, but no large-scale attacks."

"If we follow your logic, with 1800 phones, even if half are activated and the other half are on standby, we currently have 900 people."

"With 900 people on the move, there will be more people to cover for them. Although Algeria's military strength is not great, it shouldn't be that stupid."

Even if the activation rate is one in six, that's still 300 people.

"More importantly, Algeria, as a major power in North Africa, has always been a target of the EU and America's efforts to win over the country. They have consistently supported Algeria in its fight against terrorism and have established dedicated organizations for it."

"This might happen, but America's Central Theater Command will not be involved."

"So, what you're talking about is indeed quite amusing."

"So, the other party might not be a terrorist, but something else, right?" Lin Yi asked, voicing his suspicions. On the other end of the phone, Guo Song remained silent for a long time before softly humming in agreement.
"They must have ulterior motives!"

"I will report this matter. Do your job well, and remember, don't leave any evidence against you."

"I'm hanging up now!"

The phone rang with a busy signal. Lin Yi smiled and hung up. Then he opened an electronic map on his computer, dragged it to Algeria, and then to the Constantine region.

Let's wait until things become clearer before making a decision!
…………

Constantine, Algeria.

This is Algeria's third largest city, located on the Mediterranean coast. Abundant moisture from the Mediterranean flows from north to south, crashing against the Atlas Mountains, which span several countries.

It nourishes the city.

Northwest of the city.

Villa area.

Damira hid himself by the window, pulling back the curtains a crack. His eyes cautiously peeked out from the gap, carefully observing his surroundings. For the past few days, he'd felt someone was watching him, but when he looked closely, he couldn't find their target, which frustrated him.

After watching for another 10 minutes or so, he decisively lowered the curtains, turned around and went back to the room, opened the wardrobe door, and pried open the hidden compartment under the wardrobe.

In the hidden compartment lay a pistol, dozens of bullets, a cell phone that was turned off, and a thick stack of old US dollars.

Damira changed into a set of running clothes before taking out the items and stuffing them into her clothes. Finally, she picked up her Walkman and hung it on her waist, making it look like she was about to go for a run.

After doing all this, he stood in front of the mirror, looked at himself, and said, "I hope it was just a false alarm!"

After saying that, he ran out the door.

Stepping outside and standing in the gentle Mediterranean sun, he stood still and began to do stretching exercises.

Taking advantage of the stretching exercise, he looked around, taking in everything, took an exaggerated breath, and started running.

The running motion was slow and gentle.

Shortly after he left, a black Toyota pickup truck emerged from the shade of the trees and slowly followed in the direction he had gone.

As soon as the pickup truck left, another pickup truck appeared. This one didn't follow the first truck but went to Damira's villa.

The vehicle stopped outside the villa, and five masked men got out, climbed over the wall, and entered the villa. Instead of opening the door on the first floor, they went directly upstairs through the outer wall.

After entering, I began a careful search.

"Nothing was found in the second-floor bedroom!"

"Nothing was found in the living room on the second floor!"

"The small bedroom on the second floor was not found!"

"Second floor..."

"Captain, what exactly are we asked to find?"

"I don't know. Don't ask if you shouldn't."

"But we don't know what we're looking for. Isn't this like looking for a needle in a haystack?"

I'll say it again, ignore it!

On the other side, Damira listened to music as she slowly ran out of the villa area, turned around, and ran towards the bustling downtown area.

The villa area and the downtown area are not far apart, only about 2 kilometers apart. After entering the downtown area, he naturally went into a coffee shop.

I ordered a coffee, found a seat by the window, glanced out the window first, then plopped down and started leisurely enjoying the air conditioning.

Not long after the air conditioner started running, the black pickup truck stopped across the street.

The driver got out of the car and naturally ran towards the dessert shop next door. Noticing this, Damira's gaze shifted slightly and fell on the wall clock.

After that, he would glance at the wall clock every five minutes or so.

When he looked at the clock for the second time, he picked up his coffee and drank it all in one gulp. He then ordered another cup. While waiting for his coffee, he suddenly clutched his stomach and hurriedly ran into the coffee shop's restroom.

In a pickup truck on the street, the two people in the back seat stared at the cafe window for a while. The man on the left looked up at his watch and said, "Is this guy in such poor health? He took almost 20 minutes to go to the restroom."

This sentence made the person on the right turn around sharply. He stared at his companion with wide eyes and asked, "How long did you say he's been gone?"

"20 minutes? What's wrong?"

"***!" the man on the right cursed, then shouted to the man on the left, "Get Gerry out here! Stop pretending to buy candy!"

"The target must have escaped!"

After saying that, he jumped out of the car, ignoring the traffic, and walked through the traffic into the coffee shop across the street.

As soon as the waiter approached, he grabbed him and pointed at Damira's seat: "Where is that person?"

The waiter looked in the direction he was pointing, then calmly turned back and said, "He had diarrhea and went to the hospital through the back door."

"How long have you been gone?"

"It's been over ten minutes. Are you his friends? He said he's going to St. Mary's Hospital, you can wait for him there." The waiter was about to leave when he suddenly stopped. This action brought a glimmer of hope to the man who had just entered, but the waiter shattered that hope the next second:
"Could you ask him if he's not going to drink this coffee? I'll clean it up for him now."

"Okay?"

"I don't want it anymore!" The man waved his hand and stormed out, but then turned back and went into the cafe's restroom.

There was no one inside.

After leaving the restroom and walking out the back door, the man stood in the empty alley, unsure whether to walk forward or to the right.

When he reappeared, the waiter immediately stepped forward: "Really? I'll pour it for him right now!"

"It's fallen!"

The man roared, turned and walked past the waiter toward the pickup truck across the street.

He climbed into the pickup truck, took out his phone, and dialed a number:
"First group reports, repeat. First group reports, the target has been lost, the target has been lost."

After finishing his report, the man slammed his hand on the chair, yelling, "***!"

After hurling insults, the black pickup truck reluctantly drove away, but it didn't go far before stopping at the next intersection.

The two people in the back seat got out of the car, took off their coats, changed into new ones, and changed their appearance. They then separated, one in front of the other, and reappeared near the coffee shop.

With the coffee shop as the center, the two, holding photos in their hands, slowly searched the surrounding area.

But they couldn't find anyone.

On the other side, Damira walked out of a men's clothing store. At this moment, he had changed from sportswear to business attire, and walked on the street like a business elite.

I hailed a taxi and gave them an address.

The money was handed over, and the driver stepped on the gas, heading southwest of the city.

Halfway there, he picked up his phone, pretended to say a few words, and then stopped the driver and got out of the car.

After getting off the bus, he didn't have to wait long before a taxi arrived, this time heading east.

After changing cars three times, he finally appeared in a small town just south of Constantine.

Upon entering the agreed-upon villa, he immediately launched into a tirade: "Marbury, what exactly did you do?"

"I can confirm that someone is watching me!"

On the villa's grand staircase, a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing silk pajamas and smiling, was slowly descending the stairs with his arms outstretched. Upon hearing Damira's words, his smile vanished abruptly, turning as black as a pot of soot.
"Damira, since you knew someone was following you, you still dared to come here?"

"I've changed vehicles many times, so don't worry about them finding this place, but I suggest you run away as soon as possible."

"Stop running!" Marbury cursed, slowly walking up to Damira and pointing at her, saying, "You haven't got the gold yet, so how are you going to run?"

"Gold?" Damira snorted and sat down on the sofa next to her. "I asked you to give me the people, but you're afraid I'll cheat them and run away."

“I told you I would take my men to retrieve the gold, but you were afraid I wouldn’t share it with you.”

"See? Now we're in trouble!"
