Chapter 58: Clueless
\'Is there a way for us to bypass the tracking device?\' Zhang Qin Feng quietly asked as he worried that it will endanger everyone else in the Wang Family Estate if they return with the tracker in their car.
[Modifying the frequency given out by the device is a simple matter to the system. We have multiple options to choose from, but the system would like to suggest a different solution]
\'Oh? What will that be?\' Zhang Qin Feng supported his jaw with an arm and waited for Stein\'s reply.
[Counterattack the tracking frequency or bait them to a specific location. Both options were suggested according to the level of technology your world has achieved]
\'Then… Track their location for now. I\'ll speak with Wang Yufei for now…\' Zhang Qin Feng converse through a gentle whisper with Stein and turned his attention back to his girlfriend.
"Did they? I\'m unsure if I wanted to discuss my uncle\'s condition with the reporters from the NewsChannel… They might be here just for the sake of making something up for the views. Can you please tell them that I have nothing much to comment on if they come again?" Zhang Qin Feng replied.
"Sure. I\'ll do as you want in case these people come again." Wang Yufei said. Feeling like she says something wrong, her hand went to Zhang Qin Feng\'s head and gave him a gentle pat.
"By the way… I know it\'s a little late, but can we get to the workshop for a moment? I remembered that there\'s something I need to do today. Zhang Qin Feng said.
"Of course! Luckily you asked before we went past the junction straight to the abandoned factory area. Sit tight. I\'ll drive faster when we get into the high-speed motorway," Wang Yufei smiled as she put both her hand on the steering wheel.
\'Stein, use my phone and send a text message to Captain Hu. Tell him to meet us at my mining facility and bring some men with him. Make sure to mention that our car might be tracked by the terrorist.\' Zhang Qin Feng instructed.
Minutes later, Stein responded with a simple reply.
[Captain Hu responded. He\'ll be there within fifteen minutes. They\'ll be knocking on the door with two hard knocks and two light knocks upon arrival]
\'Great. Now, check where the signal came from. We\'ll see what these people are trying to do.\' said Zhang Qin Feng.
…
The two soon arrived at the mining facility.
"Let me get the lights on before we get inside," said Zhang Qin Feng as he unlocked the shutter and went inside. After randomly touching the wall for a while, Zhang Qin Feng finally found the switches to the light.
*Ding - Ding - Ding!*
The lights illuminated all four corners of the facility as Zhang Qin Feng reaches for Wang Yufei\'s hand and bring her into the workshop.
A surprising look was on her face as she looks at the central console located in the middle of the facility.
"Did you assemble this on your own?" Wang Yufei asked as she was surprised by how complicated is the mining system assembled by Zhang Qin Feng. There are at least over ten sub consoles besides the central console attached together through a complicating wiring system.
"Yes. I\'ve followed the guide I learned from the Internet and Currency Mining forum to build such a complicated system. Although it\'s working well, the electrical expenses are pretty hefty too." Zhang Qin Feng said.
"Well, as long it works. How much have you mined so far?" Wang Yufei asked.
"Close to 12,000 coins. They\'re worth around 2,300 Dongcheng Dollars if we\'re selling everything." Zhang Qin Feng answered. Of course, he didn\'t mention how it went from 3,000 coins into 12,000 in less than a week.
He then took the Power Distribution Hardware and Surge Separator Hardware out from his backpack.
Following Stein\'s guidance, Zhang Qin Feng patiently connected them together across a few sub-consoles. After making sure that there\'s no mistake in his work, Zhang Qin Feng clapped his hand to hint that he\'s done with what he had to do here.
"So, what did you do there?" Wang Yufei asked.
"Just adding up a proper fuse in case the electrical surge went wrong. Also, I added a power distributor to assure that each console is getting the same amount of power supply." Zhang Qin Feng explained the function of certain hardware one by one. The concept was somewhat similar to how a nest of honeybees works.
Soon, a knock came from the shutter.
Two loud knocks came first, followed by two softer knocks.
Captain Hu was seen with a full gear when the shutter was opened from the inside. Standing behind him were two other members from the Tianhe Special Squadron. Not far from them was the vehicle the captain used to drove him back to the Wang Family Estate.
"We\'ve checked the car. There\'s indeed a tracker near to the fuel tank. How did you notice that?" Captain Hu asked.
"The frequency disturbed my console\'s refresh rate report. This is the reason I came here to check if something happened to my mining facility." Zhang Qin Feng said.
"Ah… Would you mind letting Ruo-Lan bring you two home later? We\'ll have something to do after you left." Captain Hu said after he hinted that Ruo-Lan was waiting for them inside the car.
"Sure. I\'m sorry to leave this in your hand." Zhang Qin Feng said apologetically. By the time he finished with his words, Wang Yufei already came to the entrance where the few of them were having a conversation.
"Yufei, Butler Hu is here. He said that they suspect the terrorist might have done something to our car, so the maid Ruo-Lan will take us home while they take your car for a quick check." Zhang Qin Feng said.
"Oh? Then I guess it\'s good we didn\'t drive home straight away…" Wang Yufei said as she seems clueless about how serious this matter is.
"Get into the car first. I\'ll come over after I explain the floorplan of the facility to the butler." Zhang Qin Feng said.
"Alright!" Wang Yufei smiled.
