Huang Renjie has been analyzing data on the hard drive for several hours, trying to make sense of the clues to the breach event. His brow is furrowed, his eyes fixed on a series of passwords and network traces on the computer screen, trying to find a breakthrough.
Things are getting more and more complicated, and they seem to be caught in a spider's web, with the mastermind being King Cobra. The network skills of this lone wolf hacker have left Huang Renjie feeling quite frustrated. He understands that to track down this hacker, he must go further and think faster than the other party.
However, it's already late today, and he feels exhausted. So, he decides to temporarily end his work, shut down the computer, stand up, and stretch. He will continue the investigation tomorrow. Perhaps taking a rest will help him think better.
Huang Renjie leaves the office and walks on the streets of City A. The city is brightly lit at night, and the bustle never stops. His mind is still full of questions about the gate-closing incident, but at this moment, he just wants to relax and forget about those difficult challenges.
As he walked aimlessly, suddenly, a noisy sound came from ahead, as if a street riot was happening. Huang Renjie was suddenly alert, he immediately quickened his pace and walked towards the direction of the sound, wanting to see if assistance was needed.
Huang Renjie got closer and closer to the source of the sound. It was a narrow alley, with dim streetlights casting a hazy glow on the cobblestone ground, making the place look even darker. Rushing towards the mouth of the alley, he saw a group of about five or six young men, around the age of twenty, in typical thug attire. These people were wearing loose black jackets, some were shirtless, showing tattoos and body art, some were wearing hats to cover their faces, making it difficult to see their features. However, their clothing constantly exuded their low taste, giving a sense of cultural decline.
One of the young men was holding a stick, while the other was pulling the arm of a high school girl, assuming a provocative posture. This scene made people feel uneasy and displeased, especially when the girl's face showed a look of fear and despair.
Huang Renjie disregarded everything and stepped forward, shouting in a firm and calm voice, "Stop! What you are doing is wrong!"
His voice suddenly rang out in the street, like a sharp blade cutting into the chaotic scene. This made the thugs instantly stop their actions, looking at Huang Renjie in shock, seemingly not expecting someone to step forward.
Several young people began to taunt Huang Renjie, their language full of insults and provocations. "Hey, you old man, what's it to you? Get lost!" "Yeah, get lost! Or we won't be polite!" Then they aggressively surrounded him. It was clear that they had no intention of letting this sudden intervener off the hook.
The burly thug with a bare upper body, full of strength, fearlessly grabbed Huang Renjie by the collar, staring at him with a threatening gaze. His face was filled with provocation and contempt, like a leopard eyeing its prey.
In the midst of silence, the thug suddenly shook Huang Renjie as if mocking his courage. A sly smile crept onto his lips, and then he spat on the ground, letting out a disdainful roar.
Huang Renjie's inner self had already fallen into tension and panic. When he boldly stepped forward, his initial thought was just to try to defuse the crisis with words, thinking that perhaps just speaking a few words would ease the situation and everyone would disperse. However, things quickly spiraled out of his control.
When the bare-chested strong man grabbed his collar and mocked his timidity, Huang Renjie became even more flustered. He felt that he had entered a strange and dangerous environment, a scene that was difficult to imagine in his normal life. His mind raced, trying to find a way to resolve the situation, but his inner anxiety continued to escalate.
Just as the crisis seemed to reach a critical point, a young, strong man with dark skin and well-defined features appeared from somewhere, passing through the crowd as if no one was there, and walked to the side of the shirtless man. With a firm and emotionless gaze, he poked the thug, signaling him to stop and release Huang Renjie.
This young and strong man had a burly figure and a resolute face. His arrival instantly brought an undeniable pressure. His presence seemed to declare the restoration of order, making the chaotic atmosphere on the street become quieter. The thugs stopped their provocative words, as if they were awed by the man's authority.
However, the shirtless man seemed to feel that his spotlight was being stolen by the appearance of the burly man. His self-esteem was greatly challenged, and he became angry and embarrassed. Seeing the situation calm down a bit, he gritted his teeth and angrily threw a punch at the burly man. His fist was incredibly fast, carrying a whistling sound as it struck towards the burly man's face. This punch was filled with hatred and dissatisfaction, as if trying to channel all of his emotions into this one blow.
The shirtless man missed, his fist only touching empty air. The burly man dodged the blow effortlessly, displaying astonishing reflexes. Then, he let out a long sigh, seeming to feel some regret about the fight.
Before the shirtless man could react, the burly man swiftly slapped him across the face with lightning speed. The slap was loud, like thunder, and the atmosphere instantly fell silent. The shirtless man's face was pushed to one side, his eyes filled with shock and pain, while the burly man's face showed a hint of regret and helplessness.
The whole scene fell into a deep silence, as if time had frozen in that moment.
