CH 5.1

In the night, a very ordinary-looking domestic SUV was driving on the winding mountain road. When it was passing a fork, a heavy truck suddenly merged into the main road from the left rear, but its speed did not slow down at all, and it hit the car head-on.

The driver of the SUV had very good skills. Even if the body of the car was knocked askew, he did not immediately lose his balance. Instead, he stepped on the accelerator and drove forward.

The big truck also speeded up to catch up immediately.

It was clear that this was not an accident, but deliberate murder.

The two cars raced on the winding mountain road. The SUV had an advantage in speed. It could have thrown off the big truck in the shortest time, but unexpectedly, another sports car came from the front, launching a pincer attack on the SUV.

The two cars in the front and rear ran into each other desperately. The SUV could only turn the steering wheel quickly and break out from the right side, but the tire was blown because of the speed being too fast, causing the body to flip and roll down the cliff.

The loud rumbling noise, accompanied by the burning flames, broke the tranquility of the night.

The big truck drove away quickly, but the sports car drove along the road to the SUV, as if checking the situation. A few flash lights were turned on and off in an instant, as the people in the car took a few photos and left in a hurry.

The SUV lay quietly on the spot, with flames constantly spouting from the hood, and gasoline pouring out of the fuel tank, but the four people in the car were all unconscious, and a crisis was imminent.

If no one passed by here tonight, these four people would undoubtedly die.

But unfortunately, this road was originally a national road, leading to an empty town whose population had been relocated long ago. If it wasn’t for New Year’s Day when people came to worship ancestors, no one would come here at all.

In other words, the chances of these four people surviving were very slim.

The gasoline was still flowing, and it was about to be ignited by the flames. At this critical moment, a Beetle car drove through the night.

Seeing the SUV emitting flames and thick smoke, the Beetle stopped quickly, and a slender woman opened the door and ran out, trying to rescue them.

She used all her strength, but she couldn’t shake the car door that had been knocked out of shape long ago.

At this moment, a man in the SUV woke up first, saw the woman trying to rescue them, and immediately said: “Please rescue Dr. Zhao first, I will find a way by myself, he is sitting behind me.”

Stained with blood, his face was invisible, but his voice was calm and firm.

However, the woman said anxiously: “Don’t be afraid, I will rescue you.” She persistently tugged at the door of the passenger seat.

In fact, this door couldn’t be opened, she could have tried other doors, rescued those who had a higher chance of survival first, and then think of other ways. But she didn’t do that, she just wholeheartedly wanted to help this man.

The man’s head was hit, he was not fully conscious, and his body couldn’t exert himself, but he knew how critical the situation was, so he begged again: “Please save Dr. Zhao first.” He pointed to the man sitting behind him.

The man was still breathing, and there was no physical injury, as long as the door or window of the rear seat was opened, he could be rescued.

But the woman didn’t seem to hear the man’s words and kept trying to open the door of the passenger seat.

The man had to endure the severe pain and dizziness in his head and went to pull the door of the rear seat. But his body was stuck by the seat belt and the airbag, and he couldn’t move at all. The strong and pungent gasoline smell also made him realize that time was running out.

“Save Dr. Zhao! Leave me alone!” His tone carried a strong order.

At the time of life and death, he could disregard his own life and leave the hope of life to others. One could imagine how important this Dr. Zhao was in the eyes of this man.

But the woman cried and said: “You are awake, I have to save you first.”

She hurried to her car, opened the trunk, took out a crowbar, ran back quickly, and faced the car door for a while.

The man’s head hurt more and more, as if it was about to explode, but he kept emphasizing: “Save Dr. Zhao, I’ll give you 100 million. I can give you a bank card right now, it’s an anonymous one, and the password is 666.” He fumbled for his wallet while talking.

The woman didn’t listen, and quickly dragged the man with broken legs out after prying open the car door.

The man stretched out his hand to pull the door of the rear seat, expecting it to be stuck, but he didn’t expect that the door opened with a light tap of his fingertips, and Dr. Zhao, who was unconscious, was close at hand.

But at the same time, the gasoline was also ignited by the flames, emitting acrid smoke. Once the flames entered the fuel tank, the car would explode.

The man’s fingertips had already touched Dr. Zhao’s shoulder, but the woman screamed and dragged him away, covering him with her petite body.

A violent explosion resounded through the sky, thick smoke covered the moon in the sky, and fiery red flames swallowed everything.

The man watched the flames burning Dr. Zhao’s body. Even in a coma, Dr. Zhao couldn’t help moaning, his originally calm face becoming completely distorted by the pain.

The other two companions in the car also woke up one after another, but fell into hell again screaming.

This extremely tragic scene turned into blood and tears, streaming down the man’s resolute face. He lifted the woman’s body, watched the scene in agony, and then fainted from great sadness and anger.

After an unknown amount of time, the man woke up again, only to find that he was not sent to the hospital, but instead was lying in a small room less than twenty square meters.

The room was decorated with floral curtains, pink sofas, lace tablecloths, and cute dolls, all of which indicated that this place belonged to a woman.

The man quickly checked his body, and found that his broken legs had been bandaged, and the bones were perfectly aligned, so there should be no sequelae. His head was also wrapped with gauze, and the severe pain that would explode the skull was also completely gone.

In addition, the suit he was originally wearing had disappeared, and he had been changed into a set of clean pajamas, which was one size too small, so it fit snugly to his muscles, and the watch, mobile phone, wallet and other things he carried with him had also all disappeared.

He quickly remembered the burning SUV and the faces of his three companions fading away in the flames.

They had died.

Died from a murder!

As soon as a trace of pain appeared in the man’s eyes, it was immediately replaced by ferocious hatred.

The unhelpful sadness was quickly pushed aside by him. He began to wonder who had planned and participated in the murder.

The news that Dr. Zhao deduced the 5G algorithm was only known to him in the whole company, and only he and his two bodyguards participated in the plan to go to the United States to pick up Dr. Zhao. The itinerary was completely confidential.

Under such circumstances, who could know the news that the 5G algorithm was broken by Dr. Zhao? Who could get the exact route of their return journey and start pursuit? Who was the ultimate beneficiary?

The man pondered for a while, and finally got a direction.

Developing in the same field, domestic and foreign competitors could gain the leading position in 5G technology after getting rid of Dr. Zhao, and the comprehensive application of 5G technology would also greatly enhance the competitiveness of a company, and even the national strength of a country.

It was a matter of national interest, and the chances of domestic counterparts doing so were much lower than those of foreign counterparts.

The man guessed that the murder this time was planned by the United States in all likelihood. To be able to launch a precise sniper attack on Dr. Zhao, there must be an inner ghost beside him, but who was that person?

Thinking of this, the man couldn’t help frowning deeply.

He was the only person in the company who knew that Dr. Zhao had deduced the 5G algorithm, and he had never disclosed it to anyone. The itinerary to take Dr. Zhao back to China was also planned by him alone. The two bodyguards were only responsible for following him, and they didn’t know anything else. Moreover, they had already died in the explosion.

In other words, no one could sell the news to the United States except the man himself.

Everything that happened before seemed weird no matter how he looked at it.

Thinking of this, the man’s head began to ache again, so he pulled the bandage on his forehead and tried to sit up halfway with his arms propped up.
