Middle-aged tycoon: Twins come knocking on his door when he goes home for Chinese New Year

Li Ze stared at his phone screen, only three words popping into his mind:

Wardfa?

He rubbed his eyes and checked the text message again:

[Li Ze, why aren't you replying to my messages? Are you pretending not to see them?]

Li Ze felt a chill run down his spine, and the cigarette in his hand suddenly lost its appeal.

How could this happen?

You should know that the new phone in his hand was given to him by Lao Yi just the day before yesterday.

This is a dedicated satellite phone, and the number is an internal number that is triple-encrypted.

Let alone ordinary hacker or fraud companies, even the CIA in the United States...

Tracking the location and information of this number would require a great deal of effort.

The results of it?

Within just two days, the same sender accurately sent text messages to his phone twice.

If the first time was a coincidence, or there was a loophole in some process.

So how do you explain this time?

Li Ze frowned and threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stomped it out.

If the other party really is Bai Qianyue, then it makes even less sense.

Eighteen years ago, Bai Qianyue's family had a little money, but her parents were just ordinary business people.

She was just an ordinary female college student; where did she get such extraordinary abilities?

Is it possible to track the encrypted satellite phone of the world's richest man?

Without hesitation, Li Ze immediately called out to his third brother, Li Yuanping, who was inside the house:

"Third Brother, I have something urgent to attend to. I need to go back to the old house. I'll be right back for dinner."

After saying that, he quickly walked back to his old house.

As soon as he entered, Li Ze called Lao Yi over.

"Hey, look at this."

Li Ze handed the phone to Lao Yi, his expression serious:

"My number has been leaked again."

When the old man took the phone and looked at it, a look of shock appeared on his usually expressionless face.

My sunglasses almost fell off.

"This...this is impossible!"

The old man quickly operated the tablet in his hand, checking the system's security logs:

"Boss, I had the technical department check all the channels the day before yesterday, and there are no signs of our firewall being compromised."

"This number is absolutely secure. How did they manage to do that?"

Li Ze sat in the chair, frowning.

"You're asking me? I'd like to ask you the same thing."

"Oldest brother, we're in a very passive position right now."

"The other side is in the shadows, while we are in the light."

"My whereabouts and my contact information seem to be completely transparent to the other party."

Fine beads of sweat appeared on the old man's forehead. He lowered his head and suggested:

"Boss, the most urgent thing right now is to get a new phone and a new phone number..."

"it's useless."

Li Ze waved his hand, interrupting Lao Yi:

"Changing your phone is only a temporary solution, not a permanent one."

"Although I don't need the money to buy a new phone, it's too much trouble to keep changing them."

"Moreover, this feeling of being watched makes me feel very insecure."

"I, Li Ze, have been abroad for eighteen years. What kind of opponents haven't I seen? No one has ever been able to get my phone number twice in a row."

Li Ze took a deep breath and asked:

"By the way, did you manage to trace the origin of that number back to its source?"

The older man nodded, his expression becoming even stranger:

"Found it."

"Boss, according to our reverse tracing, the real-name authentication information for this number does indeed belong to Bai Qianyue herself."

"But that's all I can find out."

"We tried to investigate the Pan-Pacific International Hotel where she worked."

"But strangely enough, neither the information on the internet nor the investigators we sent out yielded any results."

"Our people were stopped by a group of unidentified security personnel as soon as they approached the top floor area of ​​the hotel."

"Those people are very skilled, even as good as us."

Hearing this, Li Ze was genuinely surprised.

Are they any worse than the cyborg bodyguards under the old man?

What kind of den of dragons and tigers is this Oceanwide International?

Could it be that Bai Qianyue is also bound to the system?

At this moment, Li Ze had no intention of rekindling their old flame.

Just kidding. Back then, he and Bai Qianyue had a purely platonic relationship as schoolmates. They never even held hands. Where did this old feeling come from?

However, the current situation forces him to take it seriously.

If the other party really is Bai Qianyue, he has to figure out what she wants to do.

Also, how exactly did she get her own phone number?

This is a very serious personal safety issue.

Li Ze thought for a moment, picked up his phone, and decided to take the initiative.

He edited a short message and sent it:

Are you really Bai Qianyue? Also, how did you get my phone number?

After the text message was sent out.

Li Ze and Lao Yi, two grown men, stared at their phone screens, the atmosphere somewhat tense.

A minute passed.

"bite--"

My phone vibrated.

A reply has arrived.

Li Ze immediately clicked to view:

[Li Ze, it's definitely me. We haven't seen each other for eighteen years, I've missed you terribly. As for your phone number, I have my ways. If you want to know, go to Panhai International, I'll be waiting for you here.]

I saw the words "I miss you so much".

Li Ze almost suffered cardiac arrest.

Good guy!

During the Chinese New Year, can you please stop sending such ambiguous messages?

If Ruoran sees this, even if he has mouths all over his body and jumps into the Yellow River, he still won't be able to clear his name!

Ruoran already had a misunderstanding about him, thinking that he had eloped with Bai Qianyue back then.

Now that this text message has come out, doesn't that confirm it?

However, if we don't go see this so-called Bai Qianyue now and find out the truth,

If these harassing text messages keep coming in, they'll eventually become a nuisance.

Li Ze hesitated for a moment, but decided to lay out the unpleasant truth upfront.

He replied with another message:

[I don't know if you are Bai Qianyue or not, and I don't care who you are. I'm currently pursuing Ruoran again, so please don't say things that might cause her to misunderstand. However, if you really are Bai Qianyue, I think I can meet with you. But before I meet you, I need to tell Ruoran about this.]

After sending the message, Li Ze felt that his attitude was very clear.

I'm a married man, and I'm looking to get married. Don't get involved.

A few seconds later, the other party replied:

【Hey, Li Ze, you're such a devoted man. Eighteen years have passed, and you still haven't forgotten her? Was she really that great?】

[Sigh, never mind. I won't say too much in this text message. I hope you can come see me; I'll be waiting for you.]

Looking at the last sentence, "I will always wait for you."

Li Ze couldn't hold back any longer, and his lips twitched several times.

Good guy.

Is she planning to keep bothering him?

Li Ze recalled what happened eighteen years ago.

Back then, this girl was a typical love-struck fool, relentlessly pursuing him.

They delivered breakfast, delivered water, and blocked the dormitory entrance.

Later, for Ruoran's sake, he ruthlessly severed ties with her, even saying some very hurtful things, before finally persuading her to leave.

I thought that from now on, we would go our separate ways and never see each other again.

Did not expect ah did not expect.

Eighteen years have passed, and we've all become middle-aged.

She stuck to me like glue again.

Moreover, this time the method was even more sophisticated; they directly hacked his satellite phone.

Li Ze felt utterly helpless.

Now is the crucial time to win back Ruoran, and it's the perfect time to build up her favorability.

If Ruoran knew that Bai Qianyue had not only not disappeared, but had been sending him these kinds of text messages, it would be a disaster.

The little bit of trust that was painstakingly built up last night will probably collapse in an instant.

"What a troublemaker."

Li Ze sighed and put his phone back in his pocket.

He turned to the old man and instructed him:

"Keep a close eye on Pan-Ocean International, and report any suspicious activity immediately."

"I'm going to eat now."

After saying that, Li Ze composed himself and hurriedly returned to his third brother Li Yuanping's house.

By this time, all the dishes on the table had been served.

Li Ze sat down, picked up his bowl, and began to shovel rice into his mouth, eating very quickly.

Seeing this, the third brother, Li Yuanping, went to get more wine:

"Zezi, eat slowly, what's the rush?"

"After we finish eating, how about we play cards for a while? It's perfect that everyone's here today."

Li Ze waved his hand and swallowed the last bite of rice.

"No, Third Brother, I'm not playing cards anymore."

"I have something urgent to attend to and need to leave quickly."

Several of Li Ze's cousins ​​looked at him with some confusion, seeing his anxious and flustered demeanor.

What urgent matter could there be during the Lunar New Year?

But then I thought, he's a big boss with hundreds of millions in assets now, so it's normal for him to be busy.

Perhaps something went wrong with their overseas business.

So he didn't dare linger and saw Li Ze to the door.

"Okay, then drive carefully."

Li Ze nodded and quickly left.

After returning home, he immediately got into his Audi A6, started the engine, and drove away from Lijiacun.

The car was traveling on a country road leading to Zhangjiazhai.

The trees on both sides rushed past.

Li Ze gripped the steering wheel, his heart pounding with anxiety.

So far, he hasn't done anything to wrong Ruoran.

Bai Qianyue came to us on her own initiative.

He wasn't even 100% sure that the other person was Bai Qianyue.

However, it doesn't matter who the other party is.

This act of being secretly watched and receiving such a text message is clearly aimed at him.

It's even possible that they're targeting him to destroy his family.

He has to go and meet this woman.

Figure out what her purpose is.

However, before going to Oceanwide International, he had to do one thing.

That is honesty.

He wanted to tell Zhang Ruoran everything, completely and without reservation.

This includes these two text messages, and the possible identity of the sender.

This seems risky and might even anger Ruoran.

But Li Ze knew in his heart that this was the only way.

Only by taking the initiative to be honest can misunderstandings be eliminated to the greatest extent possible.

If you discover it yourself, or hear it from someone else, then the nature of the matter changes completely.

That's deception, that's concealment.

"If that's the case, I hope you can believe me."
