790: Chapter 785 I'm Here to Help You

Seeing Shen Yan coming down with two foreigners, Chen Guangke quickly went up to meet him.

"Brother Yan, something is wrong at the construction site."

Chen Guangke's face was grim, and his eye bags were swollen.

"That German Engineer responsible for monitoring the foundation data suddenly went missing last night."

"Then, around three in the morning, our central control room started alarming, saying that the load-bearing column at three hundred meters underground was experiencing slight tremors."

Shen Yan opened the car door, signaling Lin Tuo and Adrian to get into the business van behind first.

He got into the passenger seat and fastened his seatbelt.

"It's not tremors."

Shen Yan's voice was flat.

"Someone is feeding poison to our foundation."

Chen Guangke's hands gripping the steering wheel tightened abruptly.

"Someone is sabotaging things? I'll take people right now to dig out that German guy!"

"No need to look for him."

Shen Yan looked at the flashing lights outside the car window.

"That person is probably no longer in the country, or maybe he's already feeding the fish at the bottom of the river."

"Go back to the company and notify Liang Yibai to open all the physical circuit breakers."

Chen Guangke slammed on the brakes so hard that the car almost stopped dead.

He stared wide-eyed at Shen Yan.

"Brother, are you crazy? Open the physical circuit breakers? If the data overloads, all the electronic equipment in the entire foundation will instantly burn into scrap metal!"

"That's equipment worth tens of billions!"

Shen Yan turned his head.

"Do as I say."

"Also, notify the Public Relations Department. From now on, no matter what rumors are circulating outside, they are not allowed to refute even a single word."

Although Chen Guangke was full of doubts, looking at Shen Yan's excessively calm face, he could only grit his teeth and nod.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

That morning at ten o'clock.

The financial circles of Jinghai City were in an uproar.

A piece of news titled, 'Shenyan Group's "sky city" Foundation Faces Major Safety Hazard, May Face Suspension of Work,' instantly shot to the top of the trending searches.

The accompanying image was a blurry photo of the construction site, showing several personnel from the Safety Supervision Bureau in uniform setting up cordon lines.

Immediately following this, several famous short-selling institutions simultaneously released short-selling reports.

They accused the Shenyan Group of financial fraud, claiming their technology was not only immature but also contained fatal flaws.

The stock price of the Shenyan Group's newly listed subsidiary hit the lower limit right at the opening bell.

Countless retail investors wailed in despair.

The phone lines of managers in the credit departments of major Banks were ringing off the hook.

Partners sent letters one after another to inquire about the situation.

The entire Jinghai business community seemed to smell blood overnight.

Meanwhile, Shen Yan at this moment was sitting in his office drinking tea.

Sitting opposite him was Liang Yibai, who had just rushed back from the construction site.

This Engineer, who usually only focused on technology, was now sweating profusely from anxiety.

"Boss, this is suicide!"

Liang Yibai slapped his tablet computer onto the desk.

"The other party implanted a low-level logic virus. It is modifying the feedback thresholds of our sensors."

"If we don't cut off the network and perform physical isolation, within forty-eight hours at the latest, the carbon nanotubes under the foundation will fracture due to incorrect stress regulation!"

"By then, the higher the structure above, the deeper it will collapse!"

Shen Yan poured a cup of tea for Liang Yibai.

"Old Liang, you also said it—it's a logic virus."

"If we don't let them think they've succeeded, how will they commit all their computing power to this?"

Liang Yibai was stunned for a moment.

"What do you mean?"

Shen Yan stood up and walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window.

Outside the window, the entire Jinghai City lay beneath his feet.

"The Cavendish Family is using their supercomputer cluster located in Iceland this time."

"They want to destroy my life's work remotely, without firing a single shot."

"But they forgot one thing."

Shen Yan turned around and lightly tapped the glass with his finger.

"The network is bidirectional."

"When they extend their tentacles into my yard, it also means they have opened their own back door to me."

Liang Yibai was a smart man, but he still felt this was too reckless.

"But... how do we counterattack? Although our 'pangu' is powerful, compared to the centuries of accumulation of the Cavendish Family, we don't have a computational power advantage."

Shen Yan smiled.

He pressed the internal call button on his desk.

"Have Lin Tuo and Wes come in."

The door opened.

Lin Tuo, with a head of messy hair, still clutching several pages of blueprints, was as mentally energized as a cat that had just sniffed catnip.

Adrian Wes, however, had a look of arrogance, but his eyes studying Shen Yan were full of inquiry.

"Boss, this algorithm you gave me... it's simply genius!"

Lin Tuo shouted as soon as he entered.

"Utilize the instantaneous nature of the quantum entanglement state to build a virtual data mirror, guiding all the attack traffic into that mirror."

"Then, at the exact moment the mirror collapses, use the energy released by the wavefunction collapse to trace back the attack source!"

Adrian pushed up his glasses and added a sentence.

"Theoretically feasible, but it requires extremely high synchronization. This is like catching a bullet and throwing it back the instant the opponent fires."

Shen Yan looked at the two men.

"No need to catch it."

"What I want you to do is turn this bullet into a nuclear bomb."

"I want to turn the Cavendish Family's data center into a brick."

For the next three days.

To the outside world, it was the countdown to the doom of the Shenyan Group.

Work at the construction site completely stopped.

The Bank announced the freezing of some credit lines.

There were even rumors that Shen Yan had been placed under exit restrictions and was under investigation.

Shen Yan's doorstep was surrounded by reporters holding long guns and short cannons.

Liu Hui displayed great resilience.

She took the children to school as usual and went grocery shopping and cooked as usual.

When surrounded by reporters, she only offered a polite smile and remained silent.

It was Grandma Liu who came out with a broom and cursed away several groups of people.

"What kind of hearts do you have! Young Master Shen is a good person! You jinxes!"

Inside the company.

The staff were in a panic.

Only the core team was holding the line.

Wu Ya, holding a pile of documents, blocked several suppliers who had come to cause trouble.

"CEO Shen said that every cent owed will be paid, but those who try to take advantage of the situation now will never cooperate with the Shenyan Group again!"

This usually gentle woman was now like a mother lion guarding her food.

Chen Guangke led the security team, standing guard at the entrance of the machine room in twenty-four-hour shifts.

If anyone dared to come close, he truly dared to take action.

On the fourth night.

A special guest arrived.

The representative of the Cavendish Family, Edward.

A young man with blond hair and blue eyes, wearing a custom suit, exuding an air of nobility all over his body.

He walked into Shen Yan's office escorted by two bodyguards in black.

There was no sign of hostility or tension.

Edward even sat gracefully on the sofa, crossing his legs.

"Mr. Shen, a pleasure to meet you."

His Chinese was fluent, carrying a slight stiffness of translation.

"I am here to help you."

Shen Yan sat in the large ergonomic chair, playing with a fountain pen in his hand.

"Help me?"

"Of course."
