Lin Fan and Li Zixia work intensely on their new Metaverse project, while Chen Junhao's attempts to reach Lin Fan are fruitless. Meanwhile, Wei Tiansheng of Wangu Group learns about Lin Fan's project through Cui Wenwen, who has recently broken up with Chen Junhao. Wei Tiansheng sees an opportunity to gather intelligence, even as his company, Wangu Group, prepares to announce its own Metaverse project.

Seeing Wei Tiansheng's serious expression, Wei Jiansheng couldn't help but ask, "Father, what happened?"

Wei Tiansheng said, "Have you heard about the recent scandal that shocked the world in Europe?"

Wei Jiansheng said, "Are you referring to the European rich list, father?"

Wei Tiansheng nodded.

Wei Jiansheng said, "Yes, I've heard about it. It is indeed a huge scandal, even causing tremors in Europe's stock market. So many billionaires are actually VIP members of an Eastern European kidnappers' syndicate. Every time the syndicate has new girls, they secretly auction them on their website for these billionaires to choose from. If successful in acquiring a girl, the syndicate even delivers her to their doorstep..."

Wei Tiansheng said, "I heard that European authorities wanted to suppress this matter because it was too malicious and had a terrible impact. But the list was packaged and sent to all global media, and the European authorities simply couldn't contain it, and it exploded out."

Wei Jiansheng said, "So that's how it is."

Wei Tiansheng said, "Do you know who informed the world's media? It was Li Zixia."

Wei Jiansheng gasped in surprise, "It was her?"

Wei Tiansheng said, "Someone I know in the United Kingdom told me that he learned this info through police connections. Even more shocking is what's coming next. It turns out Li Zixia was kidnapped in the UK, she was one of the victims. Then, Lin Fan rescued her. Lin Fan took her to an Eastern European Country and wiped out the kidnappers' syndicate to obtain this list."

Wei Jiansheng was left dumbfounded.

The news of the Earth Wolf Gang's downfall rocked the world a while ago; it turns out Lin Fan was the one who dismantled the Earth Wolf Gang!

Lin Fan's experiences are truly legendary!

If Lin Fan wasn't an enemy to us, I would've knelt down; he's too formidable.

Wait a minute!

Our Wei Family is indeed enemies with someone like Lin Fan?

Wei Jiansheng couldn't help but feel a bit anxious, giving him pause for thought.

The Earth Wolf Gang, such a terrifying organization, widespread across Europe's underground networks, dominated for many years. So many vicious criminals hid in an Eastern European Country, completely unchallenged. Even the United States sent FBI agents to investigate, and it was useless—they got captured instead.

Yet Lin Fan single-handedly wiped out the Earth Wolf Gang; how did he do it?

This sounds impossible, like a fantasy tale.

But Lin Fan actually did it.

Watching the news, when the Earth Wolf Gang was being annihilated, the local government mobilized the military. That is to say, Lin Fan went to an Eastern European Country and actually had the local government deploy the army to assist him. What kind of means is this?

Is this something an ordinary person can accomplish?!

Wei Tiansheng then said, "Do you now know why Li Zixia was determined to sell the Company to Mortal?"

Wei Jiansheng said, "Yes."

Originally, we thought Lin Fan merely went to the UK to find Li Zixia. As it turns out, Lin Fan rescued Li Zixia from the hands of the criminals; he is undoubtedly Li Zixia's life-saving benefactor.

We can say, regarding the acquisition of Jinyu Group, our Wei Family lost to Lin Fan without grievance. If it were us, even if we thought to go to the UK to find Li Zixia, we wouldn't have found her at all, let alone rescued her from the Earth Wolf Gang. It's a joke; would we dare provoke the Earth Wolf Gang that easily!

Not everyone is Lin Fan, daring to confront the Earth Wolf Gang head-on and uproot them.

Wei Tiansheng said, "The focus isn't just Lin Fan saving someone, nor Li Zixia being kidnapped, but why was Li Zixia kidnapped in the first place? From her packaging and sending the rich list to global media, it can be seen she's an expert in computing. Allegedly, global media received strange attacks simultaneously upon getting that email, which seemed to be a warning from Li Zixia. If the media suppressed the message, they might face even more terrifying cyber-attacks."

Wei Jiansheng was stupefied yet again—Li Zixia, a female, is a hacker?

Wei Jiansheng said, "Was Li Zixia kidnapped due to her being a hacker?"

Wei Tiansheng said, "Exactly. According to Li Zixia's statement at Lun City Police Station in the UK, Li Zixia is a hacker known on the Deep Web. Because she wrote a program being auctioned on the Deep Web, some people targeted her and ultimately led her to fall into the Earth Wolf Gang's hands."

Wei Jiansheng said, "No wonder Lin Fan went to such great lengths to rescue her. It seems father is right; Lin Fan values not Jinyu Group but Li Zixia. Li Zixia is what Lin Fan truly desires."

Wei Tiansheng said, "Correct. Lin Fan aimed to acquire Li Zixia's technology. Now comes the question, what exactly is the program that drew calamity to Li Zixia?"

Wei Jiansheng said, "What is it?"

Wei Tiansheng said, "I heard it's an artificial intelligence technology."

Wei Jiansheng murmured, "Artificial intelligence... "

He is in the entertainment industry, not well-versed in the technology sector, but over these days, because of some project Wei Tiansheng is recently working on, Wei Jiansheng has been desperately trying to learn related knowledge.

Wei Tiansheng said, "That's why Lin Fan traveled across the globe to the UK to find Li Zixia, even going so far as to confront an entire kidnappers' syndicate for her. It's actually for Li Zixia's artificial intelligence technology."

"It is said Li Zixia's artificial intelligence technology is incredibly strong. During its Deep Web auction, it was highly sought after, with the highest bid reaching 10 billion Euros!"

Wei Jiansheng was shocked, "10 billion Euros? My god, that's a hundred billion Huaxia Coins; this is just too astonishing."

Wei Tiansheng said, "Not exaggerated at all. Allegedly, if that auction hadn't been interrupted, the price would have continued to rise. The buyers aren't fools; they dare bid such high prices just to purchase a technology because they've calculated the investment and return. If this technology were applied, the gains could be tenfold or even hundredfold!"

Wei Jiansheng was left speechless; it's absolutely incredible. It turns out Li Zixia is so formidable, a super hacker who developed a technology that could garner 10 billion Euros. This is immensely valuable.

"Why would Li Zixia sell this technology?" Wei Jiansheng questioned.

Wei Tiansheng said, "Because she wanted to raise funds to save Jinyu Group. If she truly got 10 billion Euros, it would be enough for Jinyu Group's revival. Li Zixia herself is a computer expert, and she could later work on other technologies. Jinyu Group could foreseeably become a super Technology Company."

Wei Jiansheng said, "I see."

He couldn't help but sigh internally; this time, regarding the acquisition of Jinyu Group, their Wei Family lost utterly while Lin Fan came upon a treasure.

Wei Tiansheng said, "You're missing the point. You should be asking what Lin Fan intends to do with Li Zixia's artificial intelligence technology, which he painstakingly pursued?"

Wei Jiansheng said, "Father, could Lin Fan's so-called billion project possibly be related to artificial intelligence?"

Wei Tiansheng said, "Not possibly, definitely related, but what exactly... could it be?"

Wei Jiansheng suddenly thought of something: "Metaverse!"

Wei Tiansheng's expression changed, "What did you say?"
