The Debtor System: Starting with a debt of 1 billion

Chapter 20 The Traitor's Last Trump Card

The torrential rain poured down, eroding the already dilapidated lighthouse. A fierce wind, carrying the salty scent of the sea, howled mournfully.

The helicopter of "Yunnan Emerald" made an emergency landing on the beach a hundred meters away. Lin Yu, along with Acha's team and Su Ya who followed closely behind, rushed into the building that had been sealed off for many years in the rain.

"They're up there!" Suya pointed to the faint red light flickering at the top of the lighthouse, her voice trembling with tension. "That key... it's getting warm, I can feel it!"

Lin Yu looked up, and his right eye, the "Emperor's Eye," instantly activated. In the thermal imaging field of vision, a familiar figure was standing in front of the control panel at the top of the lighthouse, frantically typing on the keyboard.

"Mao Suo..." Lin Yu gritted his teeth and spat out the name.

The military traitor who was exposed at the auction and sentenced to life imprisonment is still alive! He not only escaped from prison, but also managed to sneak here first.

"Block the exits! Don't let him escape!" At Acha's command, the SWAT team members quickly dispersed.

However, just as everyone rushed to the top of the tower, a holographic projection screen suddenly lit up in mid-air.

"Welcome to 'Judgment Day,' Mr. Lin."

On the screen, Mao Suo's face was gaunt, but his eyes were terrifyingly fanatical. Behind him was a satellite encryption transmitter that was warming up, its red indicator light flashing rapidly.

"You thought you'd cut off my escape route?" Maw Soe grinned maliciously, pushing a USB drive plugged into the console into its base. "Too late! Once this device is activated, it will send commands to the global black market, detonating all the hidden funding nodes. Then, not only Myanmar, but the entire Southeast Asian economy will collapse!"

"Are you crazy!" Lin Yu roared. "What good will this do you?"

"Benefits?" Mao Su laughed loudly. "What I can't have, no one else can have! Since the organization has abandoned me, I'll drag the whole world down with me! And you, Lin Yu, if you dare touch me, I'll immediately activate the self-destruct program and turn this beacon into your graveyard!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several concealed gun barrels suddenly popped up around the lighthouse, their dark muzzles aimed at Lin Yu and the others.

Life and death hang by a thread.

"System, scan the mechanism structure!" Lin Yu shouted in his mind.

[Scanning... High-density energy reaction detected.]

[A logical vulnerability was discovered: the encryption system uses two-factor authentication.]

[Solution: Utilize acoustic resonance to interfere with the left-side cooling pipe, causing a brief system malfunction; simultaneously, use visual afterimages to detect the operator's blind spots and physically seize control.]

Lin Yu's right eye instantly became bloodshot, and everything in his vision went into slow motion. He saw the gaps in the rhythm of Mao Suo's keystrokes, and he saw the crack on the cooling pipe that was about to burst.

"Acha! Listen to my command, cover me in three seconds!" Lin Yu roared, his body lowering like a cheetah.

"three……"

Mao Suo's finger hovered over the red confirmation button, cold sweat pouring down his face.

"two……"

Acha suddenly raised her gun and fired a shot at the left side of the barrel, the loud sound echoing across the narrow tower top.

"Now!"

"one!"

Lin Yu suddenly launched an attack. Instead of rushing towards Mao Suo, he kicked the cooling pipe on the left side of the control panel.

"Snap!"

Under the precise calculations of the "Emperor's Eye," the pipe, already weakened by overheating, snapped. Scalding coolant gushed out, instantly extinguishing the indicator lights in front of the shuttle, and the entire system emitted a piercing alarm.

"What?!"

Mao Suo was shocked and instinctively checked the instrument panel. In that instant, in his blind spot, Lin Yu had already rushed in front of him.

"Your death is nigh!"

Lin Yu delivered a sharp elbow strike to Mao Suo's chin, then twisted his hand to snatch the USB drive from Mao Suo's grasp.

"No—!" Maosuo screamed as his body tumbled over the railing at the top of the tower and crashed heavily onto the rocks below, instantly swallowed by the surging waves.

The crisis is over.

Lin Yu, panting heavily, stared at the scalding hot USB drive in his hand. At that moment, the notification sound from "Emperor's Eye" rang again:

[Encrypted data has been detected and intercepted.]

[Reverse tracking in progress... Fund chain location successful.]

[Target: The core database of a mysterious organization.]

Lin Yu turned around and looked at Su Ya, who was equally shaken.

"It's over." He handed the USB drive to the technician who arrived shortly after. "Give this to Interpol. This time, we're going to uproot that organization."

Suya threw herself into Lin Yu's arms and burst into tears.

The rain stopped.

The first rays of dawn pierced through the clouds, illuminating the top of the lighthouse. Lin Yu gazed at the distant horizon, and the huge weight that had been pressing on his heart for years finally lifted.

The fire at the orphanage, the deaths of her adoptive parents, Suya's background... all the mysteries are finally about to be revealed.

"Let's go," Lin Yu said, taking Su Ya's hand. "Let's go home."
