504 Home for Dinner (1/2)
Code was just a general statement. No matter which country, this thing would not be placed in one's hand. Normally, they would be split into three parts—the highest leader, the prime minister, and the controller of the nuclear missile like the highest commander. When the three codes were found, they needed to be joined before they could be inputted into the system. Then one had to possess two or more keys to unlock the lock at the same time to fire the missile, and the target could not be changed—the target for each missile had been set beforehand.
In other words, if one wanted to illegally fire a missile, the difficulty was similar to instigating a coup. As a hacker who dealt with such things as an everyday hobby, when Anthony was younger, he had once tried to crack such a code as a challenge. Even though he had failed in the end due to various factors, the time was memorable. Therefore, when he heard this, he grabbed the phone excitedly. ”Han, you mean to say that the person we have with us has the nuclear code?”
Han Chu paused before asking in a strange tone, ”You guys caught the man?”
”Yes, we were lucky.” Anthony shamelessly took Ye Shuang's personal contribution for the group before squeezing the effort down to one person—himself. ”See, the results show that I am still faster than you!”
Ye Shuang glanced at him but was too lazy to say anything. Han Chu was silent for some time as bullets flew through the air. Several seconds later, he said, ”In that case, I shall retreat for now. Jennifer has inspected this place already. There is probably nothing left here… Look after the man carefully and await my return.”
Anthony hung up and turned back to shrug at the others. ”He said to wait for him to return.”
Ye Shuang had no comment but Xiao San looked strange. ”Is there nothing else?”
Anthony was confused. ”What else do you need?”
”Like telling us to do something while we wait for him, like informing people or trying to go assist them… Never mind.” Xiao San was suddenly reminded of something, and he smiled while sighing. ”I think I get it now.”
This was such an important code. Indeed, the fewer who knew, the better. Those who knew about it might be dragged into the mess. Not only should he stand aside, even Anthony and Ye Shuang who were close to Han Chu had better not do anything crazy before the latter returned.
Ye Shuang leaned against the table and closed her eyes to rest. Anthony saw that Xiao San had come to the conclusion, so he raised his brows and turned to the computer to type on it. After a series of typing sounds, it suddenly stopped, and the door of the room was pulled open. Xiao San's people who were responsible for the interrogation filed out one after another, holding their phones in their hands. ”Brother San, did you send this message?”
”…”
Who would send a message to their friends who were just one door away? Would saying it out loud not save more energy than typing so long? After thinking about it for a second, Xiao San dangled the phone before Ye Shuang on the table. ”Has he always been like this?”
”Huh?” Ye Shuang stuck her head to the table and refused to move. She lazily replied, ”I am just a bystander—I don't know anything.”
