Tang Muxin naturally understood what Hong Dali meant. She shyly lowered her head and said, “Then, I shall see how you are going to thank me tonight, hehe.” Saying so, she bounced away…
“This little lass.” Hong Dali excitedly licked his lips. “Looks like it’s because I didn’t teach her a good lesson these few days.” Yup, you understand.
After playing around for a while, Hong Dali didn’t have much to do, so he thought for a while and directly went to find Lucifer.
The stock market was still dropping these few days. Han Songyang and the rest were all shocked by this trend. Hong Dali felt that this drop wasn’t very normal too, so he decided to ask Lucifer what was happening.
“Heartbreaker, how are your preparations?” Hong Dali walked behind Lucifer and patted him on the shoulder, asking, “Things didn’t seem to be very peaceful these few days, I feel that someone is behind this. Can you find out who it is?”
“Yup, not a big problem. But my programming isn’t done yet, I need about another two days’ time.” Lucifer smiled and said, “Oh, right. Dali, I checked on what you asked me to, and I did indeed find that something’s not quite right.”
“Oh? What do you mean?” Hong Dali’s heart skipped. Lucifer’s words brought an ominous feeling to him—the thing that he asked Lucifer to check was about his parents’ information.
“Look here.” Lucifer directly opened a folder on the desktop and said, “This is the information on Hong Haoming and Lan Xiangqin that you asked me to check.” Lucifer slowly said, “I hacked into the Ministry of Public Security’s database to find this information. Basically speaking, the information here states that there isn’t anything wrong with how they passed away. Hong Haoming was cooking at home and a gas explosion happened, while Lan Xiangqin died when giving birth.”
Hong Dali didn’t tell Lucifer their relationship with him. However, with Lucifer’s intelligence, he could guess what it was, just that he didn’t say it out. Instead, he was very serious in helping Hong Dali to check for information, and therefore found some strange information.
“Yup, continue.” Hong Dali nodded.
“Hong Haoming had a sworn brother called Liu Mingyi.” Liu Mingyi opened another interface. This time, it was a picture with complicated lines drawn on it. “This Liu Mingyi’s relationship with Hong Haoming was quite good, so I checked on him too and discovered something very unusual.”
“Oh? What is it?” Hearing Lucifer mention Liu Mingyi, Hong Dali instantly became serious.
Honestly speaking, his impression of this Liu Mingyi was quite good. But now, it looked like things weren’t simple.
“Simply put, around 1995.” Lucifer slowly pointed at the line map drawn on the picture and said, “Liu Mingyi came to know a foreign businessman called Ebert. I didn’t suspect anything at first, but this happened shortly before Hong Haoming passed away, so I followed up on this too. The result was quite surprising.”
“Tell me.” Hong Dali took in a deep breath. His intuition told him that this matter wasn’t simple.
“Simply put, this Ebert is a commercial spy.” Liu Mingyi slowly said, “After he got to know Liu Mingyi, the timeline became quite eerie. Look here.” Lucifer pointed at the line map. “After Hong Haoming died, Liu Mingyi obtained the sponsorship of one million US dollars. Then, Liu Mingyi went to the capital city and had close contact with this Ebert. This means to say that after Hong Haoming died, Liu Mingyi practically succeeded in each step that he took and rose to success.”
“You mean to say that Hong Haoming died because of this Liu Mingyi?” Hong Dali clenched his fist tight. “How high do you think of this probability?” Hong Dali’s impression of Liu Mingyi was quite good, but Hong Dali was more certain that Lucifer wouldn’t lie to him.
“At least 70%.” Lucifer shook his head and said, “Mainly, the Internet wasn’t very developed at that time, so much information was lost. After all, information at that time wasn’t able to be kept on the Internet yet. This is all that I could find.”
Lucifer was right, the Internet only appeared near the end of the previous century. At that time, the operating system was still Windows 95, and the Internet was still by dial-up connection…
“In this case.” Hong Dali frowned and thought for a while, then said, “If I give you Liu Mingyi’s phone number, can you find more information on him?” With the phone number, it would be much convenient. Hong Dali was quite glad of this.
His luck seems to be quite good.
“I can try.” In the Internet aspect, if Lucifer said that he was number two, no one would dare to say that they were number one. With the phone number, it was much easier to find a person’s location.
Hong Dali directly called Liu Mingyi, but he quickly frowned and said, “His phone is off.”
“Looks like this fellow is quite careful.” Lucifer nodded and said, “If there isn’t a signal, it’s very hard to find where exactly he is. Pass me his number first, let me see where he last appeared.”
Very quickly, Lucifer found what he was looking for. “A club, he turned off his phone here. The problem now is that we can’t be certain of his exact location. Looks like we still need to wait for a while.”
“I see…” Hong Dali touched his chin and said, “Keep a close eye on him, tell me immediately if there’s any news. Since this Liu Mingyi is connected to a commercial spy, it looks like he isn’t a good person too…” From what he learned today, Hong Dali was quite sure that this Liu Mingyi was definitely connected to his father’s death!
If not, why would there be such a coincidence? Why did the gas suddenly explode?
“Yup, okay. Don’t worry.” Lucifer nodded and said, “I promise there won’t be any problem. I will be able to find his location once he turns on his phone.”
“Okay, I shall go over to Chuyin’s side and see the progress of the suit.” Hong Dali smiled and left to find Lin Chuyin. Very quickly, he came to Lin Chuyin’s new laboratory and asked, “Chuyin, how’s the suit?”
“Oh, its effect is about the same as that in the movie.” Lin Chuyin pushed an arms part of the suit to him and said, “Come try it.”
The arm was not much different from that in the movie, it just had some modifications to it—Lin Chuyin had learned in the higher civilization of the universe and analyzed the technology of the Robot race in Divine College, after all. Therefore, overall, the arm looked very beautiful and fitting. At the palm, it wasn’t an optical weapon like that in the movie, but a very small anti-gravity device. With this device, Hong Dali could easily fly about in the sky and not have to worry about the energy source.
“Not bad.” After Hong Dali wore it, he was very satisfied with Chuyin’s manufacturing. “With this, it’s much more convenient in doing things here, hehe.” Iron Man, here I come! From now on, I will need a nickname of my own. I shall be called the Prodigal Hero!
