Chapter 1212 - 1211: IP Address

Lu Yu's ten fingers flew, dancing rapidly across the keyboard.

The interface on the computer screen in front of him kept switching, and then one command window after another full of code popped up over Lu Yu's desktop.

Seeing this command window, the smile on Lu Yu's face grew even more devilish, and at the same time his speed at operating the computer increased significantly.

For a while, the large room was filled with the sound of Lu Yu hammering on the keyboard.

Right now, Lu Yu was using this method to pull up the computer's browsing history. Although this approach was quite complicated, Lu Yu felt it was absolutely necessary.

You have to understand, some person he knew nothing about had silently slipped into his home, rifled through everything, and then restored all the items to their original positions.

And the entire process had been handled with practiced skill and exquisite precision. If it hadn't been a little too perfect, Lu Yu wouldn't even have noticed anything.

So this matter was something Lu Yu had to get to the bottom of.

Pa!

At the instant Lu Yu thought of this, his finger suddenly hit the Enter key, and a crisp sound rang out.

Right after, a long string of execution commands started running across the computer screen, and a list instantly popped up. On that list, clear as day, was the browsing history on Lu Yu's computer from the past two days while he'd been away!

Sure enough, the intruder had touched his computer. Not only that, they had gone through his computer inside and out, as if searching for something.

Lu Yu didn't linger too long on this piece of information. Since the other party had already infiltrated, naturally they'd rummage through everything. That was completely within expectations and not worth dwelling on.

What Lu Yu needed to do now was to sift through these records and find a trace of this intruder, to see what exactly the other party was after.

At the moment, Lu Yu was rapidly scanning through the log entries, moving at high speed and picking out only the useful information.

"Hm?"

As Lu Yu was quickly scrolling through the records, his hands suddenly stopped. His gaze locked onto a string of numbers in the browsing history.

That sequence of numbers was an IP address.

"An IP address?"

Seeing that string of numbers, Lu Yu couldn't help but smile. A wicked grin curved his lips. "Even the tightest net has a hole. Truly, even the tightest net has a hole."

Originally, if the computer only showed record entries of someone flipping through his files, Lu Yu would have had absolutely no way to locate the intruder.

But now, the situation was different.

With this IP address, he could trace the vine back to the root and find the other party's location. Even if that location wasn't where the person himself was, it could still provide a lot of intel.

After all, if this IP address were completely meaningless, it would never have appeared on his computer.

Thinking of this, Lu Yu's ten fingers flew again. He opened a search engine, brought up an IP lookup system, pasted that IP address into the box, and hit the search key.

The instant Lu Yu pressed search, in a flash, the search engine spit out specific information on that IP address.

Lin'an City, Jiangnan District…

Because of personal information protection measures, the location tied to that IP address was very vague.

On regular websites, you could only find the approximate area for that IP.

But this was nowhere near enough to stump Lu Yu.

He opened a command execution program, entered a stream of code, and in the span of a heartbeat, that incomplete address was instantly filled in.

The completed information showed: Building 16, 23rd floor, residential block of Green Water Spring City, Jiangnan District, Lin'an City!

"Jiangnan District, Lin'an City?"

Seeing this information, a mocking smile tugged at the corner of Lu Yu's mouth. "That's quite close to me."

Green Water Spring City in Lin'an City was a high-end residential compound, very close to where Lu Yu lived—only about three kilometers. With the right vantage point, you could even see it clearly through a high-powered telescope.

Obviously, this group of intruders had chosen that spot to make it easier to keep him under observation.

"Alright then, since that's the case, I'll pay this intruder a visit tomorrow."

Lu Yu muttered to himself. He wasn't worried the other side would bolt immediately. Instead, he chose to rest for a night before going to cause them trouble.

Lu Yu's reasoning was very simple.

First, he had just fought Jiang Tianyi not long ago. Without knowing the background of this new opponent, he absolutely couldn't charge over recklessly.

So Lu Yu planned to rest for a night, wait until early tomorrow, and only go knock on their door once he was fully prepared.

Second, there was no valuable information in his home or on his computer. The intruder definitely hadn't found anything useful this time.

Before they got their hands on anything of value, the other side absolutely wouldn't leave easily. So Lu Yu had plenty of time and felt no rush.

What he needed to do now was restore his energy first and investigate this matter in his best state.

Because as the investigation progressed, the enemies he encountered were becoming more and more absurd and unfathomable. At a time like this, he had to be extremely cautious.

With that thought, Lu Yu shut down the computer, went straight to the bed, and fell asleep.

...

However, just as Lu Yu had just fallen asleep, a jet-black aircraft, shaped like a hunting hawk, was streaking across the sky at high speed. In just a few moments, it descended over a large clearing on the outskirts of Lin'an City.

This hawk-like aircraft wasn't an ordinary private jet or commercial airliner. It didn't need a long runway to land, could take off and land vertically, and was incredibly advanced.

This type of aircraft not only boasted extreme speed—able to cross thousands of kilometers in just two hours—but also met the conditions for all-terrain landing. Its power was obvious.

Once the aircraft came to a stop, the cabin door slowly opened, and three men in black uniforms walked down the steps.

The three men were very different in build: one had a head of silver hair, one had fiery red hair, and the last was enormously burly.

They were none other than Jis, Chris, and Max from earlier!

"So this is Lin'an City, huh? Not bad at all."

Looking at the bustling view of Lin'an City ahead, Jis spoke, his voice full of excitement.

"Alright, first we find a place to rest for a day and get a full grasp of all the roads and traffic conditions in Lin'an City."

Hearing this, Max spoke up. "Tomorrow morning, we'll start gathering information on Lu Yu. After we analyze it thoroughly, then we make our move on him."

As he spoke, Max's tone was deep and steady.
