Chapter 28: The Revelation
Chapter 28 - 28: The Revelation
The moment Ye Chen uttered his name, the air crystallized with tension. Liu Zhigang's face drained of color as if his neural implants had short-circuited. His augmented reality lenses flickered wildly, biometric alarms screaming silently in his optic nerves.
Ye Chen (voice steady, each syllable a hammerblow):
"Ye Chen. 'Ye' as in the leaves that fall when empires crumble. 'Chen' as in the hour when debts come due."
Yang Xuemin and the executives froze mid-stride, their tailored suits suddenly feeling like funeral shrouds. The lobby's smart glass dimmed to obsidian, responding to the CEO's biometric authority overriding all systems.
Ling Xi'er (clutching her rapidly depreciating phone):
"Uncle Liu? Why's my dashboard showing—?"
Liu Zhigang (collapsing into himself):
"The new CEO... shares that name..."
The revelation struck like a neural virus. Ling Xi'er's CRISPR-enhanced features began glitching—her sculpted cheekbones wavered, the algorithmic "innocence" in her eyes dissolving into raw panic. @@novelbin@@
Yang Xuemin (bowing instinctively):
"President Ye, we've prepared the—"
Ye Chen (raising a hand, freezing time):
"Your preparations are obsolete. Watch closely."
Security drones materialized from light particles, their graphene claws clamping onto Liu and Ling. The lobby's AI announced their termination in three languages simultaneously, each word etching itself into the blockchain record.
Liu Zhigang (howling as his neural lace ejected):
"My stock options! Twenty years of—"
Ling Xi'er (screaming through disintegrating beauty filters):
"I'll do anything! Even reboot my face to factory settings!"
The drones dragged them through a quantum-locked exit, their cries fading into the static of terminated contracts.
Bai Hanyan (clutching her luminous jade pendant):
"You... engineered this humiliation?"
Ye Chen (activating holographic blueprints):
"Rot must surface before being purged. Your pendant's resonance caught my attention last week—it disrupts their surveillance wavelengths."
As the new corporate architecture bloomed in augmented reality, Yang Xuemin finally understood—the jade wasn't jewelry, but a weaponized relic from a pre-algorithmic age. The game had changed, and the rules were being rewritten in light.Creating is not easy, please vote for me!
