314: Chapter 313 A Letter

The appearance of the mysterious intruders greatly deepened Wang Shuo's sense of urgency.

Even though part of this urgency was caused by Wang Shuo himself.

But when the bait plan was originally drawn up, no one told him that the opponents were a group of ruthless people who would turn themselves into a pile of dust at the drop of a hat.

Fortunately, their target this time was the warehouse and not him. Otherwise, judging by the proficiency with which the person who escaped at the end threw the grenade, it was questionable whether the bodyguards around him could have protected him.

"The warehouse is no longer safe."

Wang Shuo realized in his heart that he needed a new research environment.

It's just that this matter couldn't be rushed for the time being; the tasks had already been assigned, and all he could do was wait.

"The means of transportation also needs to be updated."

The car he currently had was a business vehicle that Chen Xin had brought back from Beijing and lent to Wang Shuo; he still hadn't returned it.

As time passed, Wang Shuo had become accustomed to using it without any qualms.

But now he had to consider the safety issue.

If someone were to install a bomb under the business vehicle he was riding in, given the protective capabilities of this mass-produced car, the consequences would be dire.

Even taking a step back, even if they didn't plant a bomb, if they just hired a dump truck to ram into his car, the situation probably wouldn't be much better.

Wang Shuo didn't think that just because he had inherited the legacy of the Humanoid Race, he had an extra life compared to others.

Suppressing the complicated thoughts in his heart, Wang Shuo straightened out his train of thought.

"Zero."

He commanded: "Add a task: optimize the surveillance video footage, insert frame compensation, and optimize the resolution. I want to know the body shape, appearance, and movement characteristics of these two people."

Based on the previous capture of Ning Hao, this group possessed extremely advanced disguise techniques, but no matter how they disguised themselves, their body shapes and some small habits could not be completely changed.

"Screen all foreign personnel who have recently entered Hanzhong City, and perform feature comparisons for highly suspicious individuals. I want to know the names and backgrounds of these two people."

"Very well, sir."

Zero replied: "This may occupy most of the computing resources, leading to extended response times for zero egg and a decline in user experience. Confirm execution?"

At the current stage of zero egg, due to hardware reasons, most response calculations were centrally performed by Zero. In this regard, it was no different from other smart assistants on the market.

If Zero's resources were heavily occupied, it would inevitably affect the performance of zero egg.

Wang Shuo hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Limit the maximum resource occupation to fifty percent."

"Very well, sir."

Wang Shuo nodded slightly; for the sake of his own life, he had to temporarily sacrifice the user experience.

Fortunately, this was only temporary.

Wang Shuo cast his gaze toward his phone, where there was a message Liu Yemei had just sent.

"I've arrived."

...

Pengcheng.

Xu Xiaofeng suddenly opened his eyes from his sleep, looked at the alarm clock on the bedside table, and immediately let out an exclamation.

"Oh no, oh no, I'm going to be late."

Kicking off the quilt, Xu Xiaofeng grabbed the clothes piled on the bedside table, bounced out of bed, and rushed into the bathroom, his hair looking like a bird's nest after being ravaged.

Soon, a series of gurgling sounds came from inside.

It only took one minute for Xu Xiaofeng to finish washing up, and five minutes later, when Xu Xiaofeng walked out of the bathroom, he was already dressed.

It took another five minutes for Xu Xiaofeng to tidy up his hair; he even meticulously sprayed it with hair gel.

He checked the time again.

7:55 AM.

Phew...

He let out a long sigh of relief. His single-life hand speed, honed over so many years, was indeed no joke; he had miraculously compressed his washing and preparation time to 12 minutes.

Not bad, there was still a lot of room for improvement.

Xu Xiaofeng was very satisfied with himself and turned his head to ask: "A-Xing, how do I look?"

"Master has always been cool."

A crisp voice came from the side, and a zero egg appeared in Xu Xiaofeng's field of vision.

"That's right."

Xu Xiaofeng raised his head somewhat proudly: "Help me call a taxi; we need to hurry today."

When he finished speaking, he didn't hear any feedback from the zero egg, so he turned his head in confusion.

"A-Xing?"

This time, the zero egg responded.

"I'm here, Master. I didn't hear what you just instructed clearly. Please give the instruction again."

Xu Xiaofeng frowned. For some reason, he felt that A-Xing had been very abnormal just now.

"Hurry and help me call a taxi; we're going downstairs now."

"Okay~"

A-Xing replied happily.

Seeing that A-Xing seemed to have returned to normal, Xu Xiaofeng didn't think too much about it and said:

"I'm going to work now. You watch the house, and contact me if anything comes up."

"Okay, Master. Do you need me to order takeout for you in advance?"

Xu Xiaofeng hesitated for a moment, then said: "No need to order today; I'll eat outside."

"Okay, Master. The away-from-home alert mode has been activated. Please come back soon."

Xu Xiaofeng felt a hint of something wrong again, but with his departure time imminent, he didn't have time to investigate the reason. He nodded slightly and closed the door.

He sighed to himself; zero egg was indeed very good, but it was a pity that he couldn't take it to work.

After going downstairs, a taxi was already waiting at the entrance.

Xu Xiaofeng got directly into the car.

"Driver, to Huaneng Technology Building."

...

By the time Xu Xiaofeng arrived at the Huaneng Technology Building, twenty minutes had passed.

He rushed into the department lobby, swiped his card to sign in, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

By this time, many colleagues had already arrived, but the atmosphere was exceptionally heavy and somber. Occasionally, colleagues chatting together had very serious expressions, their voices kept extremely low.

Xu Xiaofeng knew what this was about.

Ever since the announcement last night that Huaneng Group had been sanctioned by the US Government, a violent storm had been whipped up online, and everyone was fiercely discussing the matter.

Those in favor, those against, those gloating, those sitting on the sidelines watching the tigers fight, those who didn't care—all kinds of people took turns appearing, which could be described as spectacular.

The heat directly overshadowed the incident a few days ago where Wanji Semiconductor and Sanxing Semiconductor jointly banned the sale of Chips to Frontier Technology Company.

And this wind had also blown into their company.

Without the Chips, it meant that the rapid development trend of Huaneng Group's consumer business had been forcibly curbed, and it meant that Huaneng Technology had embarked on a path of no return with an uncertain fate.

It also meant that everyone in the company now might face a life catastrophe—unemployment.

No one could bear the meaning represented by these two words.

Sighing slightly, Xu Xiaofeng felt somewhat helpless.

In this situation, no matter what decision the senior management made, he could understand it.

For a company, nothing was more important than survival.

Silently returning to his seat, he opened his computer. Having no heart for work, Xu Xiaofeng browsed the web listlessly, but a pop-up window suddenly appeared in the bottom right corner.

This was an internal information pop-up from the group.

Xu Xiaofeng clicked it open.

A few large characters appeared before his eyes:

"A Letter to the Employees of the Group".

Signed: Ren Changshan!
