The love story of a wealthy family amid anti-fraud storm at the border

Chapter 408: A High-Tech Heart Transplant

The roar of a helicopter could be heard in the distance.

The moment Yichen arrived at the airport,

Gu Chenxin's off-road vehicle also rushed through the rain.

The car lights illuminated Yi Chen's blood-stained collar.

He rolled down the car window and threw a sniper rifle with a silencer towards Yi Chen.

"It seems that the person we are looking for is very likely on Yuan's cruise ship."

The moment Yi Chen caught the gun, rain mixed with tears slid into the corners of his mouth.

It was salty and astringent with a hint of iron, just like the taste he had tasted at Lin Yi's wedding that day...

Above the high seas, the outline of the Neptune cruise ship is faintly visible in the mist.

The navy blue pattern painted on the hull blended with the sea water under the searchlight, like a floating coffin.

Yi Chen put the cold storage compartment to his side.

The silencer of the sniper rifle brushed against the gangway handrail, and the sound of metal collision startled a flock of seabirds.

He looked at the sniper rifle that Lin Yi had used before, and felt a pang of sadness in his heart.

"Captain Chen, there's a sentry on the port side."

Li Chaoyang's breathing sound came from the headset.

He led three teams to infiltrate from underwater, and the frogman suits glowed with a faint blue light in the moonlight.

Yi Chen moved along the cabin wall, and a red dot suddenly flashed in the night vision goggles.

The moment he pulled the trigger, the bullet accurately passed through the sentry's eyebrows.

Before the muffled sound of the body falling into the sea had subsided, the communicator suddenly exploded:

"Attention everyone! The cruise ship's power system is being remotely controlled and is accelerating!"

"Ayu, what's going on?"

Yi Chen was breathing heavily against the cabin door, and frost began to form on the refrigerated compartment in his palm.

"Captain Chen, my sister-in-law and I hacked into their system together, but..."

Ayu's voice was filled with electrical noise and the signal was intermittent.

"It seems someone with higher authority is countering!"

"Ayu, this is Yuan's business, tell Ling Yue not to get involved."

Yi Chen was afraid that if Ling Yue knew the whole story, she would not be able to bear it.

"Captain Chen, it's too late, my sister-in-law already knows!"

"..." Yi Chen was speechless...

Then, a muffled thunder rolled across the sky and the cruise ship suddenly shook violently.

Yi Chen's body hit the lifeboat, and the lock of the refrigerated compartment made a dangerous clicking sound.

He looked down and saw that the data of Aqiang's heart was changing on the screen.

I saw the heart on the screen begin to tremble slightly again within the ice crystals...

This is impossible, the heart has not been beating for over twelve hours.

"Captain Chen!" Li Chaoyang's voice came through the haze.

"The operating room is three decks below!"

After so many years, it turns out that someone has been using Ling Yue as a cover.

What is he after?

That Yuan Yiqi is not Yuan Ye’s biological daughter. Who is she?

When he encountered armed guards in the corridor, Yi Chen finally saw the true intentions of the Yuan Group.

The electromagnetic pulse weapons these mercenaries were equipped with were the same equipment used in the kidnapping operation in South Africa.

They are a group!

The bullet shot towards Yi Chen, creating a blue-purple arc on the metal cabin wall.

Yi Chen rolled over while holding the refrigerated compartment to avoid the fire, and the tactical backpack on his shoulder was burned with scorch holes.

"Wow! Captain Chen! They're really awesome."

Li Chaoyang threw out an electromagnetic interference bomb.

Amid the explosion of electronic components, they kicked open the explosion-proof door of the operating room.

I saw that the patient in the file: Yuan Yiqi was lying in a sterile cabin, with his lips bluish purple under the transparent mask.

Her chest cavity had been opened, and a robotic arm was holding a beating artificial heart.

The surgeon in charge, Yuan Ye, was trembling as he was about to place Aqiang's heart into the culture tank when the culture fluid suddenly emitted a strange red light.

"Why you? Stop!"

Yi Chen pointed his gun at Yuan Ye’s temple.

However, Yuan Ye remained indifferent.

While Yi Chen was surprised, he saw the chip on the back of Yuan Ye's neck flashing.

This is the Yuan Group's biometric identification device. Once the heartbeat stops, the self-destruct program of the entire cruise ship will be activated.

"He was actually controlled by a device he developed himself? Who did this?"

Gu Chenxin suddenly appeared, holding the dagger against Yuan Yiqi's throat.

The girl suddenly opened her eyes...

Dark golden data streams flowed in her pupils.

Gu Chenxin knew at a glance that it was the latest brain-computer interface technology on the black market.

"Young Master Gu..."

Her voice had a mechanical hum:

"Do you still remember your senior brother Shuoyue?

His heart is much more alive than this.

Unfortunately, it stopped working after a few years and I have to get a new one."

Yi Chen's fingers suddenly tightened.

He saw the moment Gu Chenxin's dagger cut Yuan Yiqi's carotid artery, all the screens in the operating room lit up at the same time.

A holographic projection of Yuan Zhengying, chairman of Yuan Group, appeared in a pool of blood.

He was Yuan Ye's father. His gray hair was blown up by the virtual wind, revealing the same chip on the back of his neck.

"Captain Chen, how are you?"

Yuan Zhengying's voice was hoarse with electronic synthesis.

"The informant you rescued during the South African operation three years ago is now lying in a safe place."

Suddenly, a shrill alarm sounded from the refrigerated compartment.

Yi Chen looked down and saw the culture dish in the operating room...

Aqiang's heart was beating wildly in the culture medium, and the surgical sutures at the ends of his blood vessels were breaking one by one.

The broken threads were like living leeches, slowly wriggling along the edge of the culture tank.

"not good!"

Gu Chenxin suddenly threw Yi Chen to the ground.

A bullet grazed the refrigerated compartment, leaving a deep bullet hole in the hatch...

They were Yuan Zhengying's personal bodyguards, and they were holding the same sniper rifle that killed Lin Yi a few days ago.

In the ensuing melee, Yi Chen saw Aqiang's heart mysteriously bounce out of the culture tank.

Just as it finally embedded itself into Yuan Yiqi's chest, her pupils burst into a dazzling golden light.

The entire cruise ship's power system was instantly paralyzed.

"What's going on? What happened!"

Li Chaoyang and the special forces members were a little at a loss.

"Hurry up!" Gu Chenxin kicked away the mechanical arm that was blocking the way, "The self-destruct program has been activated!"

When they rushed into the lifeboat carrying the refrigerated compartment, the "Neptune" was tilting violently.

Yi Chen took one last look at the operating room and saw Yuan Yiqi had stood up and was standing in the ruins.

Aqiang's heart beat in her chest, and his blood vessels were perfectly integrated with her nervous system.

Three days later, Nancheng International Airport.

Yi Chen's military off-road vehicle drove over the accumulated water and sent the refrigerated compartment to the customs inspection office.

Gu Chenxin stood in front of the X-ray machine, watching Aqiang's heart turn to ashes in the lead box... This was their only evidence.

"All data has been cleared."

Ayu's holographic projection appeared in the waiting hall.

"The Yuan Group's server activated its self-destruct program before the explosion. We didn't get any useful evidence!"

Ling Yue suddenly grabbed Yi Chen's wrist. Her fingertips still bore the burn marks from the backlash from cracking the dark web.

"Yichen, I found something in Yuan Yiqi's medical records..."
