I am the Holy Poisoner, the Empress advised me to calm down

"Shadow?" Lu Yining frowned. "What kind of organization is this?"

"From what I understand, they have a very large financial group behind them," Li Hao continued. "Their goal is to influence or even manipulate the direction of the entire market by controlling these companies."

Zhang Hao and Ajie exchanged glances, clearly shocked by the news. Outside, the policeman was still standing at the door, a serious expression on his face.

At this moment, a passerby suddenly appeared at the door and looked in curiously. Seeing the tense atmosphere in the house, he couldn't help but ask in surprise: "What's going on? What happened?"

Lu Yining looked up at the man and said calmly, "We are police officers and are handling a case. Please do not stay here."

The passerby's eyes widened, his curiosity growing even stronger. "Are they really the police? Oh my god, this is a big deal! I heard you're tracking down some hacker? That's impressive!"

Lu Yining frowned slightly, not wanting to attract unnecessary attention. He looked at Zhang Hao and said, "Take him out and ensure the safety of the area."

Zhang Hao nodded, walked to the door, and said softly, "Sir, please leave here. We need a quiet working environment. Thank you for your cooperation."

The man left reluctantly, but he kept looking back, muttering, "It's so exciting..."

Back in the house, Lu Yining looked at Li Hao again: "Go on."

Li Hao continued, "The leader of the Shadow Organization is extremely mysterious. No one has ever seen his true face. They only know him by the codename 'Ghost.' He uses advanced technology to virtually control the entire underground cyber world."

"Ghost?" Applejack asked doubtfully, "How did you guys get in touch?"

"Through an encrypted channel," Li Hao explained, "each task is issued via encrypted information. After completion, a dedicated person will come to retrieve the data and conduct financial settlement."

"Then why did you choose to cooperate now?" Lu Yining asked.

Li Hao sighed. "The Zhao Yunxiang incident has become too big a deal. I'm worried I'll be the next target. I don't want to die, so I have no choice but to cooperate."

At this moment, hurried footsteps could be heard outside the door, and several police officers hurried in, their expressions solemn. The leading officer stepped forward to report, "Captain Lu, the hospital has reported that Zhao Yunxiang's condition has worsened again and is in critical condition."

Lu Yining's expression suddenly darkened, and a hint of worry flashed in his eyes. "We don't have much time." He turned to Li Hao, "If you have any other information, tell me quickly."

Li Hao took a deep breath, his expression becoming even more nervous. "I know an important clue. The Shadow Organization's next target is a large pharmaceutical company - Minghui Pharmaceuticals."

"Minghui Pharmaceuticals?" Ajie asked in surprise, "Why are they targeting Minghui?"

"Because they have the research and development data of a new anti-cancer drug," Li Hao explained. "If the Shadow Organization gets this data, they will be able to dominate the pharmaceutical market."

Zhang Hao quickly opened his laptop and began searching for relevant information: "We need to quickly notify Minghui Pharmaceutical and have them strengthen their defenses."

Lu Yining nodded and immediately dialed the number to contact the person in charge of Minghui Pharmaceutical. During the call, Lu Yining's expression became more and more solemn.

"Captain, what should we do?" Ajie asked anxiously, "Time is running out, we must act quickly."

Lu Yining put down the phone and looked at everyone with a determined look: "Zhang Hao, you stay here and get more information as soon as possible. Ajie, let's go to Minghui Pharmaceutical and stop this."

The three quickly split up. Zhang Hao stayed inside the house, continuing to question Li Hao, trying to get more valuable clues. Ajie and Lu Yining drove quickly to Minghui Pharmaceutical Company.

In the car, Lu Yining's phone kept vibrating with various emergency notifications. He gripped the steering wheel tightly, his heart filled with urgency. At this moment, pedestrians on the side of the road suddenly stopped and cast surprised glances at him.

"Is that the police?" a young woman exclaimed.

"How cool! It looks like they're on an important mission," echoed a friend nearby.

Lu Yining ignored him and continued to speed forward. Soon, they arrived in front of the Minghui Pharmaceutical Company building, where a number of police and security personnel had gathered.

A security guard came forward and asked, "Which department are you from? What can I do for you?"

Lu Yining showed his police ID and said solemnly, "We are the police. We have just received news that someone is going to attack your company. Please strengthen all security measures immediately."

Upon hearing this, the security guard immediately became alert: "Okay, I will notify our security team immediately."

Lu Yining turned and looked at Ajie: "We must remain vigilant after entering and be ready to deal with emergencies at any time."

The two quickly entered the building and found Mr. Lin, the head of Minghui Pharmaceutical.

"Officer Lu, what's going on?" Mr. Lin asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Lu Yining quickly explained the situation, and General Lin's face showed an expression of shock and tension.

"We will fully cooperate." General Manager Lin said firmly.

At this moment, suddenly, the lights in the entire building flickered a few times, and then went out completely...

"Oh no!" Lu Yining whispered, "They've already started."

Ajie immediately took out his flashlight and illuminated the front: "We have to find the data center quickly to prevent them from destroying it."

In the darkness, Lu Yining and Ajie acted quickly. At the same time, pedestrians outside the building also stopped and looked at the dark high-rise building.

"Oh my god, what happened?"

"Isn't this a terrorist attack? That's terrifying!"

In this sudden storm, a battle of life and death is about to begin...

End of conversation

Lu Yining and Ajie quickly ran towards the data center, their flashlight beams dancing in the darkness. Suddenly, they heard a subtle noise not far away, as if someone was approaching stealthily.

"Who's there?" Lu Yining asked sternly, his voice full of vigilance.

In the darkness, a figure slowly emerged. It was a man in black, holding a pistol in his hand and with a cold look in his eyes.

"So the police are here too. What a surprise." The man said coldly.

Lu Yining's gaze became sharper: "Who are you? Why did you attack Minghui Pharmaceutical?"

The man sneered, "I'm Ghost's subordinate. As for why, you'll soon find out."

Ajie quickly drew his gun and aimed at the other party: "Be smart and drop your weapon!"

The man showed no fear at all. Instead, a hint of sarcasm appeared on his face. "Do you think you can stop us like this? You don't know that this is just the beginning..."
