Chapter 167 Laboratory Fire Case
Lu Chengyuan's parents and Xia Qingluo's parents met each other when they were studying abroad in Country Y. The two young couples in a foreign country quickly became friends.
Later, they went into different fields, Xia Qingluo's parents were in business, and his parents went to research institute, but their friendship did not change, and the relationship between the two families remained very close.
The two families' villas are next to each other, so Lu Chengyuan and Xia Qingluo have been playing together since they were young.
Although Lu Chengyuan received an elite education during his childhood, he was surrounded by love and had a little girl he wanted to protect, so he lived a very happy life.
Until that day, a fire broke out in the institute.
His parents were worried that their research results would be burned, so they rushed out to the research institute to save those precious results.
But unfortunately, their car broke down after driving no more than fifty meters.
Although Lu Chengyuan's family had several cars, it seemed as if fate had played a trick on them that day, as only the broken-down car was at home.
Time is running out, and every second that passes may result in greater loss of research results.
In desperation, the parents could only quickly borrow a car from Xia Qingluo's parents and then left in a hurry.
Then, the accident happened.
When the car was driving on the overpass, a large truck loaded with cargo suddenly lost control and drove towards it.
At that critical moment, in order to avoid the truck, the car turned sharply and flew towards the guardrail of the overpass.
In fact, if the vehicle had braked at this time, it would have escaped the disaster.
However, the vehicle's braking system seemed to have failed. Without any deceleration, it broke through the guardrail and flew into the sea.
The truck exploded due to the impact, flames shot into the sky, the driver died on the spot, and all the evidence was destroyed.
An originally happy family was thus plunged into an abyss of pain.
Lu Chengyuan's heart was filled with confusion and anger. He suspected that this series of events was not accidental.
From the car's inexplicable breakdown, to the truck's bizarre loss of control, to the surveillance video showing no signs of braking when the vehicle rushed into the sea, it all was too coincidental and too perfect.
The first person Lu Chengyuan suspected was Xia Qingluo's parents. Their car must have been tampered with long ago.
But what are Xia Qingluo's parents doing? They are in different fields, so there is no way they can be in competition.
Lu Chengyuan suspected that Xia Qingluo's parents were eyeing his parents' research success and wanted to profit from it.
But twenty years have passed, and Xia Qingluo's parents are still engaged in the real estate and financial industry as always. They have never developed in the field of technology, not even a little bit.
Lu Chengyuan continued to pursue every possible clue and investigate day and night.
Therefore, he didn't have much time to spend with Xia Qingluo.
Until one day, Xia Qingluo's parents suddenly disappeared.
Hope instantly ignited in his heart. He thought that Xia Qingluo's parents had been dormant for many years and would finally have a plan for the next step, so he started looking everywhere for them.
During those long and tense thirteen days, Lu Chengyuan did not go home once. His eyes were bloodshot and his face revealed deep fatigue.
He was so focused on tracking down every possible clue that he didn't notice that Xia Qingluo had also disappeared quietly.
He followed the clues and found an unknown organization and infiltrated it.
He dodged numerous guards and broke through numerous obstacles like an assassin, and finally found a secret door, which must be the core office of the person behind the scenes.
There is a password door hidden behind the bookshelf in the office.
This door is made of a strong special alloy. The door looks to be thirty centimeters thick and is fireproof and bulletproof.
The door lock is a complex electronic system that integrates fingerprint recognition, retinal scanning and digital password triple verification mechanisms to ensure that only people with the correct identity and permissions can enter.
Behind a door of this level, perhaps there are all the answers he wants.
Lu Chengyuan took out his micro notebook and connected it to the door lock via the wireless network.
His fingers moved rapidly on the keyboard, concentrating on cracking the code of the door lock.
Lu Chengyuan has always had excellent hacking skills. He has been interested in this area since he was a child, otherwise he would not have founded a technology company.
Although he could crack such a password, it would take at least ten minutes.
Suddenly, a shrill alarm sounded throughout the space.
The guards have discovered his identity and are looking for him.
They will probably find their way here soon, for it contains important secrets.
"Buzz~"
Unfortunately, the cell phone in Lu Chengyuan's pocket vibrated at this moment.
But he didn't have time to check. The situation was too urgent. If he answered the phone, it would waste time and he might be discovered by the guards.
The phone rang several times.
Lu Chengyuan guessed that the other party might have something urgent to do.
But he was also very anxious. His attention was completely focused on deciphering the code, and he almost wanted sparks to fly on the keyboard.
Finally, the phone stopped vibrating.
The progress bar for cracking the password has also reached 100%.
With a "click", the heavy password door slowly opened.
The footsteps of the guards were getting closer at this time.
Lu Chengyuan quickly closed the password door, locked it, and changed the password in one go.
The room is large, with several rows of metal bookshelves, on which many folders are neatly arranged.
The folders are arranged in chronological order, with the earliest date dating back to the eighteenth century.
And there is a sign on each folder.
The outer frame of the logo is an inverted pentagram with an eye in the middle. The eyes seem to have life and are extremely strange.
Lu Chengyuan had previously studied many organizations in order to investigate the cause of his parents' death, so he recognized the organization represented by this logo at a glance - the Shadow Society.
His pupils suddenly shrank, and without time to think, his eyes quickly swept across the shelves.
Soon, he found a folder with the same date of his parents' death, and the title of the folder was clearly written as "Laboratory Fire Case."
He walked quickly forward, took the folder without hesitation, and opened it to check.
The folder records in detail the steps leading up to his parents' death, and every detail is chilling.
The information in the laboratory may be a secret that can change the world.
Lu Chengyuan recalled that when he was a child, he asked his parents countless times what they were studying.
But his parents always avoided talking about it and just told him that it was confidential and must not be disclosed to anyone outside the laboratory, including him.
He guessed that it was probably some state secret and did not ask any further questions.
After his parents passed away, the laboratory burned down in a fire and no information was left. He could not find out what they were researching.
Lu Chengyuan continued to search.
