702: Destroy the building again
"Alright, I won't scold you. Hurry up and clear the table and eat. We're driving to pick up Uncle Zheng Ziye now." Su Yue sent Li Si away to avoid getting a headache seeing him.
"Okay, I'll go right away!" Seeing that Su Yue didn't scold him, Li Si immediately became cheerful again. He looked at Zheng Tiantian and said, "Sister, I'm going to pick up Uncle now." He even deliberately stuck his tongue out at Su Yue.
Su Yue helped out on the side and said, "What's wrong with him? He's almost an adult, but he's still like a child."
Zheng Tiantian stopped what she was doing and told him solemnly, "Based on my observations at home, he likely suffers from either anxiety or agitation." Su Yue had only meant to lightly complain, but he didn't expect to hear such information.
"Are you sure?" Su Yue asked seriously.
"It's basically certain, but the symptoms aren't obvious. Psychological counseling can be done; it shouldn't be at the point of needing medication yet," Zheng Tiantian explained, not wanting Su Yue to worry too much.
"Then what's his current behavior like?" Su Yue gritted his teeth and continued to ask.
"The current clinical reaction is mainly an overemphasis on childlike behavior, fear of your scolding and reprimands, and the need to complete tasks you assign," Zheng Tiantian continued. Su Yue frowned upon hearing this.
"Then why is that? Why is he so dependent on me?" Su Yue didn't understand why he would exhibit such behavior.
"This might be related to Li Si's childhood experiences, but I haven't found the reason for his connection with you yet. However, the current symptoms can basically be confirmed," Zheng Tiantian saw that Su Yue was very tense.
"Then what should I do?"
"Take him out more now, let him make his own decisions, and try to let him take charge in small matters." Zheng Tiantian looked at Su Yue's pained expression, reached out and hugged him, and said softly, "I know, don't blame yourself."
"This has nothing to do with you. His problem is clearly not caused in a short time; it's the result of prolonged self-isolation and lack of communication with the outside world," Zheng Tiantian comforted Su Yue.
"But if I hadn't appeared, maybe he would still be that particularly happy child in the Hacker Alliance!" Su Yue blamed Li Si's problem on himself. And Zheng Tiantian had always known that Su Yue also had issues.
They were actually the same kind of people, sick and genius.
"Director, this is bad." Li Si ran into the house, panting.
"What's wrong? What happened? Speak slowly." Su Yue patted Li Si's back, helping him catch his breath.
"Uncle Zheng Ziye has been captured! We don't know where he is now, and the house is full of signs of a struggle." Su Yue's expression immediately tightened. Damn it, they actually found Li Si.
It was all his carelessness. Su Yue immediately put on his coat and walked out, calling Neiwuduo and Lyon at the same time. Lyon was brought to Su Yue by Neiwuduo, so he had stayed.
"What's wrong? Did something happen?" Su Yue grabbed their shoulders, his eyes wide, and said in a low voice, "Guard the people inside the house for me. Don't allow them to leave, and ensure their safety!"
Neiwuduo and Lyon were both top experts. With them there, Su Yue felt somewhat relieved. But now Su Yue had to brave the dangers ahead.
Su Yue walked to the front of the high-rise building, telling himself to calm down, otherwise he would only drag others down. He had to rescue Zheng Ziye. Looking at the sudden increase in people in front of the high-rise, Su Yue knew his guess was correct. Zheng Ziye was here.
Su Yue hadn't figured out a plan yet when all the doors of the high-rise suddenly closed, and Fells's face was projected onto the glass. His usually neat hair was now a mess, and his suit-and-tie image had nearly turned into a beggar's appearance.
"Hello, Su Yue. I know you'll see this video no matter what you do, because your girlfriend's Uncle is now in my hands." Su Yue stood in front of the high-rise, surrounded by a crowd that had gathered.
"I'll make a bet with you. If I lose, I'll return your Uncle to you; if I win, you have to go to prison in the United States and announce to the whole world on the internet: 'Su Yue is garbage.'" Su Yue watched the video, his heart unfazed, because he knew the main event was yet to come.
"I'll give you three days. If you can destroy this building, I'll let your Uncle go back; otherwise, you'll be the exchange. But don't worry, at 8 AM three days from now, everyone will evacuate the building, but if surveillance detects you entering the high-rise on that day, your victory will be void. You don't need to worry, I've already transferred your Uncle, and no matter what happens here, he won't be harmed."
Looking at Fells's almost insane face, Su Yue knew this fight was unavoidable. He didn't think too much and walked directly into the high-rise building. This video was the first one released, most people should still be in the studio, now was the best time to infiltrate.
After infiltrating the building, Su Yue didn't go upstairs. Instead, he sat in the lobby, holding a newspaper, drinking coffee, and leisurely reading the contents.
"History Repeats, White House Attacked??"
When Su Yue saw this headline, he knew it was about him and the China Red Hackers. While reading, the sound from the service desk caught his attention.
"Boss, I need to take leave tomorrow. My wife is sick, and I need to go back to take care of her." Su Yue looked at his equipment and concluded he was from the ground crew, as his clothes and gear matched.
"Okay, how many days will you take off?"
"Starting from the afternoon, just three days will do."
"Alright, just report back when you return." The ground crew leader waved his hand, letting him leave. He had been a little worried because the next few days would be the time of the strictest security in the high-rise.
This was all Fells's fault. Not only was he crazy, but he also dragged the high-rise down with him.
"We can only follow Fells's plan. The video has already been sent out." The high-level executives sighed, discussing amongst themselves. None of them expected Fells to cause such a huge mess.
If they had known earlier, they would never have given him the chance to go out. He had come crying, pretending to be pitiful, and they had let him go out of softheartedness. They didn't expect the consequences to be so severe.
"But now everyone doesn't know what to do. They can't take care of themselves, and they say now is a good time to catch Su Yue."
"This is bad, gentlemen!" A person suddenly burst in, his face full of worry.
"This matter has attracted the attention of China. They are now starting to pressure us. What should we do?"
The high-level leaders slumped in their seats, unable to think of a solution. Then they asked, "Did China make it clear what they want to do?"
The young man shook his head, his face covered in sweat, and said, "Since a China citizen has been detained, if he is not released within the specified time, they will use force."

"What is the time they requested?"
"Time... Time..."
"Why are you stuttering? Speak quickly!" The leaders were anxious and sweating profusely.
"The time is within one day."
"What? Within one day? We don't even know where that bastard Fells is right now, how can we hand him over within one day?" They started to panic. If it were the China of the past, the United States naturally wouldn't care. But from the internet war just now, it was clear that the current strength of China was immeasurable. Having one Su Yue was already troublesome enough, and now China was getting involved, what should they do?
Su Yue didn't know that China had already taken action.
He sat there until the afternoon. The building had already started deploying, but was it really just starting?"
"Hello, Boss, my wife's illness is not serious. I can go back to work now," Su Yue said softly.
"Ah? Then you must be on time later, otherwise, you should just take leave." The Boss didn't necessarily need him back at work, but the high-rise was currently very nervous and insisted on confirming that everyone was on duty. If not, they had to submit corresponding documents, which was very troublesome to prepare. The Boss was naturally happy to hear he was coming back.
"Alright then, don't worry, I'll be on duty on time this afternoon," Su Yue said with a smile before hanging up the phone. Infiltrating here was as easy as pie for him; he didn't need three days at all.
In the afternoon, Su Yue changed into the ground crew uniform and cleaned on various floors. When he got off work, he walked out in the ground crew uniform, looking exhausted, without looking back.
As soon as he stepped out of the building, Su Yue took out his phone and @'d Fells online, telling him to listen carefully.
The accompanying text said: "The show has begun, I finished the game early."
Fells was holding his phone, browsing other news. The websites had crashed in the past few days, and except for professionals, few people knew that the White House website had been breached by Chinese people and left a special mark. That day belonged to the glory of China's Red Hackers.
Not many people log in to the official websites of the United States, except for staff. Coupled with the prohibition of information dissemination and circulation, netizens were not yet aware of what Su Yue had done. This greatly required others to popularize the knowledge, but the best candidate - the United States official - chose to remain silent.
"What does this mean?" Fells didn't understand Su Yue's words. He had been hiding in the high-rise and didn't know that the guys in the high-rise had now focused their attention on Su Yue.
Fells had calculated very cleverly. This group of high-level executives would definitely save face and thoroughly investigate Su Yue's appearance. As for China, let the diplomatic people handle it for now. Anyway, all they wanted in the end was Su Yue. Su Yue had committed the crime of network security threat, and China couldn't shirk responsibility either.
Fells stared intently at his phone, muttering to himself, could it be that our high-level executives really couldn't withstand the pressure from China? Although he didn't want to believe it, he couldn't figure out where Su Yue's confidence in those words came from.
"Hahaha..." A strange laughter came from the high-rise building, echoing floor by floor. Fells squatted in the corner, only now understanding why Li Xuan had told him to pay attention to the sound.
He had originally thought Su Yue would need at least three days, but he didn't expect Su Yue to complete the task on the first day, and without any abnormality. At first, Fells had doubted whether Su Yue could complete it, but now he was holding his phone, slumped on the ground, utterly shocked.
Some netizens who were following the matter specifically contacted their classmates near the high-rise to investigate. The classmate recorded a video of the scene and sent it to him, and he immediately posted it online.
"A three-day mission, the Great God only took one-third of the time to complete!!!"
After Su Yue @'d Fells, the popularity instantly soared. Before, when it was just Fells's challenge, everyone thought it was hype or seeking attention, but now it seemed Su Yue had actually done it.
"The Great God is amazing, they could get into such a heavily guarded high-rise and even install something."
"The Great God is indeed the Great God."
"Su Yue played the high-level executives."
Su Yue didn't have time to read the comments. At this time, Zheng Tiantian sent a message saying that China had dispatched personnel to negotiate with the high-level executives, with a time limit of one day. Seeing the message, Su Yue immediately went home, changed his clothes, put on a hat, and went out, unwilling to waste time.
"Hello, I am Liu Yu from the Chinese Embassy. I am here on orders to find our citizen Mr. Zheng Ziye."
The guard at the door saw Su Yue's identification and didn't dare to delay, opening the door directly. After entering, Su Yue went straight to the top floor and saw the leaders sitting together discussing matters, completely unaware that Su Yue had already cracked Fells's scheme.
"Sir, China has sent someone from the Embassy."
The people present were already nervous, not knowing how to respond. Upon hearing that someone had arrived, they were all eager to hide.
Su Yue didn't wait for them to announce him again and walked straight in.
"Hello everyone, I am Liu Yu, the Consul General of the Embassy in the United States. I have the responsibility to ensure the safety of our citizens. Our side has issued a final deadline. Please be sure to comply with international regulations."
Su Yue's official speech was very proper, but the people present were too embarrassed to say that they were completely at a loss now and just wanted to appease Liu Yu, played by Su Yue, first, and then figure out how to deal with it.
"Please have a seat. We will, of course, abide by the regulations of both countries, but the current situation is not what we wished for. We cannot find Fells's whereabouts, and Su Yue has not yet resolved this matter. We really don't know what to do."
Su Yue looked at this person's level of playing tai chi and sneered, "Our China citizen Su Yue has already resolved this matter. Do none of you here go online? We gave this time limit not to make things difficult for you."
The old high-level executive who wanted to appease Liu Yu couldn't sit still upon hearing this and tentatively asked, "Really? Did Su Yue really resolve this incident?"
Liu Yu looked at their frightened appearance with disdain, "Of course. You might not know, Su Yue didn't install a bomb as Fells said, because he didn't need that much time at all and didn't want to harm others. So Su Yue chose to install a funny toy. Did you all go to sleep during that time? Didn't anyone hear such loud laughter?"
Su Yue's questioning completely dashed the hopes of the high-level executives who had wanted to deal with Su Yue. They hadn't dealt with Su Yue before and thought he was just famous, but now it seemed they had underestimated him.
"What? Still don't know what to do?" Su Yue questioned sharply.
"Once our citizens are harmed here, I believe you will taste everything we have suffered here!" Su Yue laid down a harsh threat, his eyes like torches as he scanned every American, looking at their timid appearance.
"Alright, we will finish this quickly and provide a solution that will satisfy you. Please wait a moment!" Saying this, the high-level executives walked into the inner room.
