Chapter 855 The Escape in Progress!
The flight is about to take off at 9 p.m.

Zhang Bo returned and reported, "Sister Qing, the goods have been delivered to the cargo hold and have been checked again; there are no problems."

"Okay, hard work."

At 9:14, Liu Qing saw the plane taxi and take off through the porthole, gradually turning into a point of light in the night sky.

She laughed self-deprecatingly—she was still too inexperienced, and had been frightened into a state of panic.

Two days ago, when the internet was blocked, she was terrified, but she still had to pretend to be calm and keep the morale up.

The data has now been sent out, and the weight that had been hanging over my heart has finally been lifted.

She took a deep breath, as if she could already see the dawn, and all she had to do was follow the steps, and the listing bell would ring as scheduled.

She took out her phone and dialed a number, her voice carrying a hint of lightness:
"Hey~ Zhenzhen, the goods have been delivered. Remember to check and inspect them on your end. It's been so long since we sisters traveled together to see the Northern Lights! No problem! I haven't seen them in years either."
I look forward to the day when we sisters can reunite. See you there!

11:14 PM, Didi headquarters, top-floor conference room.

It's the same room, the same people.

Liu Qing glanced around, his gaze sharp as a knife:

"Next, everyone forget about the IPO and get back to normal work routines!"

The company has deposited a reward into everyone's account to thank you for your hard work during this period.

The meeting is over! "

12 points in the early hours.

The woman walked straight into Cheng Wei's office, then closed and locked the door, before swaying her hips and plopping down on his lap.
Holding the married woman in his arms, Cheng Wei rested his head on her chest and asked vaguely, "Has the listing date been set?"

"Barring any unforeseen circumstances, it will be August 1st."

"When do we leave?"

"The plane tickets are all bought; I'm flying to New York on July 30th."

Where is Zhang Bo?

"We're free as birds in the sky, but the company has to leave someone to take the blame as an explanation. As for how long he can hold out, that's up to his fate."

"I'll do whatever you say, but right now I just want to fly."

Several years ago, in the early days of Didi's startup, it was forced to make multiple moves by being beaten up in the ride-hailing industry.

Having neither connections nor resources, Cheng Weili invited Liu Qing on a self-driving tour to Tibet.

Along the way, they not only experienced wind, frost, rain, and snow, but also faced potential risks together, which caused their relationship to heat up rapidly and become even closer.

Finally, on the plateau at an altitude of several thousand meters in XZ, it was a night like this.

Inside the convertible, Cheng Wei played a song for Liu Qing called "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky".

Convinced, Liu Qing described to Cheng Wei the potential future of Didi.

At this moment, amidst the gasps of desire, they believed they were about to usher in a grand and splendid chapter.

Late that night, the first thing Chen Mo did upon arriving home in the capital was to go to his study and open the safe.

The richest man's safe contained no cash or checks, only the property deed, a hard drive, a USB flash drive, and a black notebook.

A property certificate is an obsession born from the struggle for a house in a previous life.

There are no discs on the hard drive, only Bitcoins that I bought as a safety net and now seem to be just keepsakes.

The USB drive contains some of my friends' embarrassing moments and highlights, including Xiao Lei kneeling on a keyboard and Dongzi's drunken confessions.
Chen Mo took out a black notebook and placed it on the desk.

Once opened, it was filled with detailed records of some of the milestone events since his rebirth.

Turning to the latest blank page, which was already halfway through, Chen Mo picked up his pen and wrote.

Time: July 2017, Operation Destroyed
Key locations: Beijing Qing Teng Academy, Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport

Key People:

Our team: Xu Chaojun (Technical Lead), Zhang Changfa (Offline Operations Lead), Zhang Xiaolong (Information Monitoring Lead), Chen Tong (Public Opinion Coordination Lead), Li Dajin (Legal Support)
The opposing party: Liu Qing (the actual operator of DD), Cheng Wei (the founder of DD), and Zhang Bo (DDCTO, who later cooperated with our actions).

Collaborating parties: relevant departments
Event Node:

1. Early warning and deployment (mid-July): It was learned that DD planned to go public in the United States.

It was later learned that they intended to transfer hundreds of millions of sensitive core data overseas via online transmission and offline air transport for listing review.

We urgently launched the "Destroy Didi" operation, devising a "substitution" plan—using simulated ride-hailing data to forge Didi-formatted data and replace the real data.

2. Technical Breakthrough (July 18-20): Xu Chaojun's team hacked into the opponent's server, mastered the data encapsulation algorithm, and simultaneously used simulated data to replicate 1PB of fake data, matching the hardware specifications to complete the encapsulation.

During this period, Zhang Bo was persuaded to switch sides and provided our side with information such as key algorithms and timing of actions.

3. Offline interception (evening of July 20): Liu Qing used "dual-line transportation" to confuse our side, and finally chose Hongqiao International Airport to complete the air transport.

Zhang Bo conveyed key information through his family members.

In collaboration with relevant departments, we completed the data replacement at the Hongqiao Airport cargo terminal, intercepting and transferring the genuine data to the relevant national authorities, while the false data was shipped out of the country on the same flight.
To be continued

After finishing his notes, Chen Mo put the notebook back into the safe and locked it.

He then leaned back in the large chair and closed his eyes to rest.

The reason for recording these things is to serve as a summary and review of this phase, because he knows that the most crucial moment is yet to come.

Will this batch of data be able to be verified over there after it is sent out?
With the IPO successful, how will the authorities react? Will they be lenient or take strong action?
Besides the previous arrangements, what else can he do on his side?
But no matter what, Cheng and Liu can't escape.

Besides these, it's mostly about keeping a memento.

People often find that when they recall the past, memories surface in fragments, forming scattered pieces, while most of the major ones have been 'forgotten'.

But when you look at photos, videos, or diaries you've kept, you might find yourself connecting them to other related memories. In fact, the human brain is like a storage hard drive with unlimited capacity. Each memory isn't lost; instead, it's quietly stored as a unit within the 'maze' of the mind.

What people perceive as 'forgetting' is simply forgetting to find the 'index' of the specific memory.

It's like someone who downloaded many classic films by their teacher years ago, without any planning, storing them in various places, some on the C drive, some on the H drive. But they always get tired of the old and crave the new, and when they want to revisit those films later, they forget which folder they put in, which is very frustrating.

Actually, the film wasn't lost; it just lacked a catalog index.

The memo he kept served as an index.

When he gets old, surrounded by his children, he'll be eager to recount his past, and who knows, he might pull out this notebook.

Your father's life was quite remarkable.
Chen Mo was thinking nonsense when he suddenly felt a warm, familiar touch on his temple.

It's Ningning.

"Have you run into some troubles again?"

"There's no way around it, there are always some people who cause trouble. The capable are always given more work."

Go to bed early.

"Okay, if you say you want to sleep, then let's sleep!"

With a gasp from Leng Ning, Chen Mo swept her up in his arms.
He stepped out of the study, into the bedroom, threw himself onto the bed, and pounced on the sheep like a hungry tiger!
That night, the red waves surged.
The following day, in an office.

"Some things can be overlooked, but this time they crossed the line!"

"We have the evidence. Should we take action?"

"It's too easy for them to act now. Let's wait until it goes public!"
Now that Chen Mo has set the stage, let's cooperate and perform this play well.

"Go and make preparations in advance." The aged voice carried a chill. "Keep a close eye on those involved this time, don't let them escape!"

"Yes!"

"By the way, are you sure they don't have this data on the other side?"

"Our technical experts were also present at the time. They did not do anything out of line. After they came out, they were handed over directly. There was no chance at all."

Furthermore, they also sent out a set of fake data from the other side, suggesting that we send some resources to wait and wait, hoping to reap some rewards!

"Yes, Chen Mo is a sensible, farsighted, and considerate person. Very good!"
Go and prepare. Keep it a secret; let's pretend nothing happened!

"Yes!"

On July 22, a flight from Seoul landed at New York's JFK Airport.

Before long, a fully armed team escorted more than ten boxes away.

Another day passed.

Inside a heavily guarded white house.

"Has the data been verified?"

"Based on the algorithm they provided earlier, both the logic and the trend have verified that it should be fine!"

"should?"

"The final data results differ significantly from the intelligence data we originally possessed!"

"It's normal for there to be discrepancies, after all, this is their first-hand internal information, while we previously relied on remote satellite positioning, and many of our data still contain a lot of errors."

If the data matches perfectly, I'd suspect it's fake.

"Will the listing process follow the previous special approval procedure? After all, there has never been such a precedent before."

“I came here to break with convention. I not only wanted the green light all the way, but also to expedite the approval process and get some media outlets to give me extensive coverage.”

"This could lead to a different situation for this company."

"When have we ever needed to care about the life or death of a Chinese company? Did you eat too much McDonald's salad last night?"
The purpose of the report is to gauge the reaction from the other side. If they take significant action, it indirectly proves that the data is accurate!

"Okay, I'll arrange it!"

A moment later, another person entered. This was the private financial manager. The person in the room instructed, "Short this newly listed stock for me!"

Late May.

Didi continues to operate as usual, and its battle with ride-hailing services in the market continues.

It's as if something happened, yet it's also as if nothing happened.

And so, on July 30, 2017, a military parade was held at the Zhurihe training base to celebrate the 90th anniversary of the founding of the People's Liberation Army.

这是我军首次组织以庆祝建军节为主题的专项阅兵,接受检阅的共有12000名官兵、600余台装备,组成1个护旗方队、27个地面方队和9个人员方队.
This is also the first time that a military parade has been changed from a square parade to a field parade.

The whole country was immersed in a passionate atmosphere.

At 6 p.m., Liu Qing and Cheng Wei left work as usual, locked the office door, one carrying a laptop bag and the other carrying a delicate shoulder bag, and went straight downstairs.

However, instead of going to the underground parking lot to get their own car, the two wore masks and hailed a Didi (ride-hailing service) directly.

Thinking they were getting away with it unnoticed, they had little idea they had become the most conspicuous firefly in the night sky.

Almost at the same moment.

Almost simultaneously, reports came from two locations in Beijing: "Liu Qing and Cheng Wei are in a white BMW Didi Chuxing car, heading to Pudong International Airport. The license plate number is Shanghai BXXXXX..."

Subsequently, two different orders were issued:

"Grab them at the boarding gate!"

"Intercept them halfway!"

A storm is coming.
