But when Ye Hao saw the item in the woman's hand, he was terrified...
It was his camera, which contained a large number of weapon blueprints, pictures and videos of terrorist events, and even data maps of hacking into international satellites.
Ye Hao had been using this camera for over a year to document his memories. While these memories were fine for his own viewing, if they were seen by others, it would undoubtedly cause a sensation.
The camera recorded too much, but the common point is that whether it was the Pacific's US military with thousands of sailors being burned alive, or the bombing of the four major naval bases in the Philippines, the Tokyo Tower and the Jingguo Shrine in Japan; the death of hundreds of soldiers in the Diaoyu Islands, or the bombing of a dozen islands in Bermuda, all were captured by this camera.
Moreover, they were captured in the most real-time, with the most authentic images, without any trace of photoshopping.
In other words, if this camera were to spread out, it would be even more explosive than any scandal photos, and it would mean that Ye Hao's life might end here.
Could it not end? The terrorist events he committed would be enough for the people of Japan, the United States, and the UK to tear him apart into millions of pieces.
Bi Yu and Wei Ran's silent deaths brought a layer of grim fear to everyone, leaving them nowhere to hide, only to close their eyes and wait for the fear to come.
When Shangguan Longyi wanted to ask who the senior was, Ye Hao hurriedly stopped him. At this time, it was unclear what the mysterious person wanted to do, so it was best to remain silent, otherwise provoking the woman might cost lives.
Silence and stillness surrounded both sides in confrontation, a silence driven by fear of the unknown, not just by their standoff.
For a long time, the white shadow did not reappear, and Ye Hao quickly activated the eighth-generation system. Now, only by monitoring within an 800-meter range with the eighth-generation system could he locate the woman's whereabouts. This was not the time for Ye Hao to show off, as if something were to happen to Lin Ruyu and others, he absolutely couldn't accept that reality.
When the eighth-generation system was turned on, all the images within 800 meters came into Ye Hao's eyes, and he also saw the location of the woman in the system.
The woman had not left; she was holding Ye Hao's camera and was lying on the stairs leading into the Thousand Lights Lake.
It was in the direction down the stairs where Ye Hao and others were. The more she looked at Ye Hao's camera, the deeper her frown became.
Seeing this, Ye Hao had already made the worst decision in his mind. If the images in the camera were really exposed, then he would start a real life on the run.
Unable to bear the torment, Du Yusheng's face, full of fear, cautiously said, "Let's leave."
He was speaking so quietly because he was afraid of provoking the mysterious expert, whose location they didn't know. If they made too much noise, it might really draw the mysterious expert's attention.
"Go!" Jiang Feng, next to Du Yusheng, also cautiously said.
Ye Hao sneered at them. Did they think they could leave so easily? Was it really that free?
"Whoosh!"
Ye Hao took out dozens of stones from his space and shot them at Du Yusheng and others' legs.
When Du Yusheng and others' legs were hit by Ye Hao's stones, they immediately kneeled on the ground, crying out in pain.
"Ah! My leg!" Du Yusheng shouted the loudest, his status in Shanghai was exceptionally noble, and he had never been so severely injured. Now, his legs were crippled without him even realizing it, leaving him terrified, afraid, and mostly in excruciating pain.
"Ah ah!" Jiang Feng and others followed suit with loud cries...
Ye Hao quickly had the eighth-generation system check if the mysterious woman had made a move, but to Ye Hao's regret, the woman was deep in thought while looking at his camera and was not disturbed by Du Yusheng and others' screams.
Ye Hao gestured to everyone to leave quietly, avoiding any further action from the enigmatic and unpredictable expert.
Once Ye Hao had everyone leave Thousand Lights Lake, he instructed Shangguan Longyi to escort everyone back to Dragon and Phoenix Castle. Within Ye Hao's resources, aside from Dragon and Phoenix Castle, only Wealth Island had the strength, so he wanted everyone to ensure their safety at Dragon and Phoenix Castle first.
Nangong Tianxiang noticed that Ye Hao didn't get into the car with them, and she asked puzzled, "Aren't you leaving?"
"I'm not leaving, I have something to handle," Ye Hao reassured everyone with a smile.
"Come home early, we'll be waiting for you." Lin Ruyu kissed Ye Hao on the cheek, then got into the car, planning to go back to Dragon and Phoenix Castle with Shangguan Longyi first.
"Yes! I'll be back early." Ye Hao nodded and then watched them leave Thousand Lights Lake.
Ye Hao could not let the mysterious woman take away his camera. The data in the camera wasn't the issue, but the images of terrorist events. If agents from other countries saw them, they would immediately suspect they were taken by the person who orchestrated the terrorist events.
At that point, a slight investigation into whose camera it was would make it hard for Ye Hao to escape.
Ye Hao walked toward Thousand Lights Lake. By the time he arrived, Du Yusheng and the others had stopped their ghostly wailing and were instead gritting their teeth, cautiously making their way to the car, afraid to offend anyone.
Ye Hao didn't even glance at them. Although they had intentions to harm his woman, the immediate priority was to retrieve the camera. The other matters could wait.
Du Yusheng and the others helped each other into the car, completely ignoring the bodies of Wei Ran and Bi Yu, as escaping for their own lives was difficult enough, let alone helping two dead people leave the scene.
As they got in the car, due to their crippled legs, they needed two people to work together to drive.
However, when leaving, Du Yusheng looked at Ye Hao with a fierce expression. Although he didn't know who had killed Wei Ran and Bi Yu, he blamed all the crimes on Ye Hao. He thought that if they hadn't tried to kill Ye Hao, such a tragic event wouldn't have occurred, and without it, their legs wouldn't have been crippled.
The more Du Yusheng thought about it, the angrier he became, silently vowing that if he didn't die in this life, he would make sure Ye Hao died first.
The sports car of Du Yusheng and others slowly left the scene. Alone at the stairway, Ye Hao debated whether to go down and ask the woman for the camera back.
Just as Ye Hao was hesitating, the white-clad mysterious woman lying on the staircase below opened her lips, her voice crisp and clear: "If you don't leave now, I'll kill you."
Ye Hao hesitated, though he wanted to leave, but knowing the camera was still in the mysterious woman's hands, he could only brace himself...(To be continued.
