Chapter 269: Phone Call
Jian Yuan returned to his room and dialed a number. After a moment, the call was picked up, and a young woman’s voice came through, "Code Zero, I have told you before, I have no intention of working with you."
Despite the direct rejection, Jian Yuan didn’t get angry. Instead, he chuckled and replied, "X, I think you have misunderstood. This isn’t a deal, and you don’t have a choice but to work with me."
The young woman laughed, her tone tinged with amusement when she said, "Code Zero, do you think you can threaten me? While you are the second best in the cyber world, I’m no less skilled than you."
Jian Yuan’s voice remained calm as he said, "Well, I know your identity and the people you care about."
The line went silent for a moment before she sighed and said, "Gu Jianci—no, I suppose it’s Xia Jianyuan now."
Hearing his old name, Jian Yuan’s eyes narrowed. His voice turned cold and said, "How did you figure that out?"
The woman chuckled again and said with a hint of a smile on her voice, "You are not the only one who knows things, Code Zero. I know more about you than you know about me. For instance, I know you have been combing through major servers in Huaxia, looking for your sister’s information."
She paused for a moment before adding, "Stop wasting your time. Your sister isn’t in Huaxia anymore."
Jian Yuan’s heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He clenched his fists and asked, "You know where she is?"
