Chapter 328: Chapter 304: The Bait is Taken! Found the God of Hackers

The largest prison in the Xuanfeng Alliance was Prison No. 1.

The prison was quite well-known, as it was the first prison from the Cambodian period, hence its name: Prison No. 1.

Recently, the prison had become even more famous. After all, it now housed several formidable international hackers, a financial tycoon, and a group of ruthless international bandits and master thieves.

Dominic and Sean, the leaders of those bandits and thieves, had taken down one inmate crew after another as soon as they arrived. They were even planning a prison break.

Unfortunately for them, the prison authorities brought in a single soldier. In a one-on-two fight, he beat Dominic and Sean into submission, breaking one arm on each of them.

After that, all the international bandits and master thieves fell in line.

’If one soldier is this strong, even if we got out of prison, we’d never escape the Xuanfeng Alliance.’

When Chen Hao heard that Lu Feng had come to the prison, he hurried out to greet him. Upon seeing Lu Feng, Yang Ming, and Commander Red Lizard, he said respectfully, "Governor, Brother Ming, Commander Red Lizard, what brings you here?"

His eyes, particularly when he looked at Lu Feng, held not just respect, but also a deep sense of awe.

In his heart, this man was a legend.

He still remembered the first time he had met him.

He had been brewing tea in Boss Chen’s teahouse that day when the man walked in with Brother Ming. The first thing they did was ask to see Boss Chen.

Back then, in Youcheng, Brother Ming was on the same level as Boss Chen. As long as they weren’t there to cause trouble, they had to be treated with respect.

As for this other man, he was like a nobody at the time, and they hadn’t paid him much attention at all.

Later, he found out that this man and Brother Ming had come to see Boss Chen to sell some gold.

After that, it seemed Boss Chen started working with Brother Ming in the gold business, and they made a considerable amount of money.

Then, the nobody they hadn’t paid any attention to became the boss, with both Boss Chen and Brother Ming working under him.

What happened next felt like something not even a movie would dare to script. This man led them into Tianzhou City and, as his opening move, produced a ton of gold.

He went on to open Tea City, factories, and entertainment complexes. With ruthless efficiency, he even took out an underworld kingpin in Tianzhou City, seizing his status and taking over his entertainment venues.

Their own fortunes rose with his. They became major players in the Tianzhou City underworld. The moment anyone in the criminal world heard they were from Youcheng, they would show some deference.

It could be said that he single-handedly built the reputation of the people from Youcheng.

Just achieving that much would have already made him a supreme figure in their eyes.

But who could have imagined that all of this was just him fooling around? He suddenly launched Qingfeng Network Company and even told them he controlled an entire country.

’Who could possibly believe that?’

’Even a movie wouldn’t dare to have a plot like this.’

’It was like something out of a fantasy novel.’

And yet, it had all happened.

Now, Boss Chen was the police chief of this Wind Capital, and he himself was the warden of Prison No. 1.

Though his journey had been fantastical, his admiration and respect for this man were beyond words.

"I hear you’ve gotten good at Khmer?" Lu Feng asked, looking at Chen Hao.

He naturally remembered the people Chen Bo had brought over in the first batch. He had also kept an eye on this Chen Hao, who was doing a good job at Prison No. 1 and hadn’t disappointed him.

Chen Hao quickly replied, "I can’t bring you shame, sir. I had to learn Khmer well to manage this place properly!"

Lu Feng nodded. He followed Chen Hao to the prison office before giving his order. "Where are those hackers being held? Bring them here!"

"Yes, sir. One moment." Chen Hao nodded and immediately called for a team of prison guards to follow him out.

A moment later, he returned with the hackers.

He immediately took out his Qingfeng Intelligent Software for translation and began to introduce Lu Feng. "This is the Governor of our Xuanfeng Alliance. Whatever the Governor needs you to do, you will do it obediently."

The hackers reflexively looked at Lu Feng and nodded frantically.

Their time in prison had terrified them to their very core. The other inmates were too twisted.

Lu Feng looked at the hackers and asked, "Do you want to get out?"

Hearing Lu Feng’s words, the hackers nodded frantically.

Of course, they wanted out. They didn’t want to spend another second in this prison.

"Unfortunately, only three of you can leave," Lu Feng said with a playful smile, randomly pointing to three of them.

Seeing this, Chen Hao waved his hand, signaling the guards to take the others back, leaving the three terrified men behind.

Lu Feng naturally had a purpose for this. After all, one shouldn’t cast out all the bait at once; it was always wise to keep some in reserve for contingencies.

Chen Hao handed the files of the three remaining men to Lu Feng.

Lu Feng now knew their names: Curik, James, and Geling!

Then, he smiled at the trio and said, "Help our Xuanfeng Alliance train computer specialists. As long as you train enough talented people for me, I will grant you your complete freedom."

This wasn’t true, of course. If he needed computer specialists, he could get them much faster through Qingfeng Network Company; he had no actual need for these hackers to train anyone.

But he had no choice. To go fishing, the bait had to look authentic. He also had to make the F.B.I. believe that these three were the "God of Hackers" they were targeting.

He believed the enemy still had agents within the Xuanfeng Alliance.

Perhaps the outside world would soon learn that the God of Hackers wasn’t a single person, but a team of them.

In that case, these three hackers would become the perfect targets to draw enemy fire, and they should be able to bait plenty of fish to their deaths.

When Curik and the other two heard Lu Feng’s offer, they didn’t hesitate for a second, nodding in agreement one after another.

"We’re willing to help you train them!"

"Yes, we’re willing! Just please, let us leave this prison!"

"..."

Lu Feng smiled.

’Looks like they really had a rough time in prison.’

He then turned to Yang Ming and Commander Red Lizard and instructed, "Cousin, Red Lizard, I’m leaving these men to you. Make sure they’re well taken care of."

The two of them nodded in unison. From now on, they would be responsible for protecting these three pieces of bait, ensuring they could lure in as many fish as possible.

Afterward, the two of them escorted Curik and the others out of the prison and took them to a luxurious villa.

"Gentlemen, from now on, this villa is yours to use," Yang Ming said, tossing a set of keys to Curik.

Gazing at the luxurious villa before them, the three men were moved to the brink of tears.

After being tormented in that prison for so long, they couldn’t even sleep properly. Some of the inmates even had... special hobbies.

They never wanted to go back inside again.

Inside the villa, Yang Ming had already arranged for clothes to be prepared for the three men. There were even servants in the villa who took turns attending to them, helping them bathe and change into fresh clothes.

Afterward, Yang Ming took them to a hotel, where they were treated to fine wine, delicious food, and a grand feast.

For the next two days, they maintained this high profile. With Commander Red Lizard deliberately spreading the word, images of the three men began to circulate, and many people in Wind Capital grew curious about who they were.

On the third day, Yang Ming returned to the villa to see the three men. "Gentlemen, you’ve rested for two days. Now you can come with me to see your work environment. I’ve also prepared vehicles for you, as well as a dedicated security detail."

The three men nodded in unison and followed Yang Ming out of the villa.

Outside, they saw luxury cars waiting for them, along with squads of armed soldiers.

’There must be at least a hundred of them, right? And every single one is armed.’

These were the lowest-ranking soldiers in the Xuanfeng Alliance, repurposed from the miscellaneous troops of Dalat Town. The real "fishermen"—Yang Ming’s and Commander Red Lizard’s subordinates—were hidden in the shadows.

But Curik, James, and Geling were all stunned.

’This is the security detail he mentioned?’

’Do they need such a massive formation just to watch us?’

The three of them wondered. Then they realized that so many people weren’t necessary to monitor them. Just a few armed men would have been enough to ensure they wouldn’t dare step out of line.

’Perhaps... these really are our bodyguards?’

With this thought in mind, the mood of the three men seemed to change.

The workplace arranged for the three men was in a large building that had been specially cleared out. There were guards at the entrance, preventing unauthorized people from entering.

Yang Ming brought them there, handed over some students to them, and then left, no longer meddling in their affairs.

Those students were real students.

When setting out bait, it had to be as realistic as possible to be believable.

In the following days, the three men experienced true freedom. No one bothered them; all they had to do was teach the students.

Moreover, after discovering they could actually order the guards around, the three of them completely let loose.

Naturally, having so many guards following them every day drew the attention of more and more people in Wind Capital. Rumors even began to surface that these three were the Xuanfeng Alliance’s "God of Hackers."

This actually caused some uninformed people to develop a sense of respect for the trio.

This left Curik, James, and Geling rather baffled. ’How did we become the God of Hackers? We’re the ones who got caught by the God of Hackers!’

But inevitably, this also meant they were being watched by certain people.

As the three men entered the building to teach their students once again, someone at a street corner was already aiming a special camera at them.

This person was completely unaware that someone on a nearby rooftop was watching him.

After taking some photos and videos, he hurried into a nearby house and met with a Caucasian man.

Upon seeing the man, he said urgently, "Sir, after several days of investigation, it’s confirmed. Those three are the Xuanfeng Alliance’s God of Hackers. The God of Hackers isn’t one person—it’s three people."

"Headquarters wants to deal with the God of Hackers, right? If we’ve confirmed their identities, we can notify HQ to send people over and eliminate them."
