Chapter 474: Chapter 470: Mr. Yun Crashes the Conference (Part 1)

"Alright then." Zhou Qi hesitated for a moment and said, "Since this is your decision, I respect your choice." As he finished speaking, Zhou Qi turned to look at Ling Chen and smiled, "Mr. Ling, congratulations on winning the championship of the rookie competition in this Heavenly Mechanism Great Ceremony."

Ling Chen smiled lightly, gratefully glancing at Song Ge. He was indeed surprised by Song Ge’s voluntary forfeiture.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the top three newcomers have been determined. First place, Ling Chen. Second place, Song Ge. Given Han Yu’s death, this rookie competition will only have the top two. According to the rules of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, and the agreement between Ling Chen and Han Yu, the rewards for both the first and third place will go to Ling Chen."

Hearing this, everyone envied Ling Chen. One man receiving two generous awards was unprecedented.

"Ling Chen."

At this moment, Hu Fei, sitting next to Qiu Yong, waved at Ling Chen on the stage, a look of urgency on his face.

"Elder Zhou, I’ll be right back." After saying that, Ling Chen quickly returned to his seat and asked Hu Fei, "Fatty, what’s wrong?"

"There’s been an incident."

Hu Fei fiddled with the laptop on his lap, whispering, "Remember I told you the other day that someone hacked into the ship’s computer system? Just now, that person logged into the system again and shut down the ship’s signal jamming device."

"Did you find the person’s location?"

"Wait!" Hu Fei rapidly typed on the keyboard, bringing up a series of codes. After a moment, Hu Fei, who was intently staring at the computer screen, suddenly changed his expression, rubbing his eyes as if he doubted what he saw.

Unable to restrain his impatience, Ling Chen urged, "Did you find it?"

"Found it." Hu Fei nodded, but his tone was somewhat odd.

"Where?"

"The cockpit."

"What?" Ling Chen was taken aback. The cockpit was staffed by personnel hired by Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion; an outsider would certainly be detected unless... Realizing the potential situation, Ling Chen felt uneasy.

"Fatty, you and Zhou Jun hurry to the cockpit and check it out."

"Okay." Hu Fei and Zhou Jun responded in agreement.

However, just as they were about to get up and leave, a well-dressed, refined middle-aged man suddenly appeared outside the venue, followed by more than thirty people.

Seeing the middle-aged man leading the group, Ling Chen’s pupils constricted, his face showing a hint of shock.

It was him.

Mr. Yun!

How could he appear here? Could it be... Recalling Hu Fei’s words, Ling Chen’s complexion turned. Could it be that the cockpit was already under the control of Mr. Yun’s men?

At this moment, Mr. Yun, strolling leisurely, walked into the venue surrounded by his subordinates. Facing the gaze of everyone present, Mr. Yun said with a mild smile, "What a lively event. I heard that the Heavenly Mechanism Great Ceremony is a grand gathering in the Martial Arts of Huaxia, and indeed its reputation is well-deserved."

Zhou Qi frowned at Mr. Yun and his followers, and said sternly, "Who are you?"

"People call me Mr. Yun, and you may do the same."

"Mr. Yun? Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion did not invite someone like you. How did you get on board?"

"I have my ways." As he finished speaking, Mr. Yun glanced over everyone present, his gaze finally settling on Ling Chen, his smile neither warm nor genuine, "Ling Chen, we meet again."

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their eyes towards Ling Chen, not expecting them to know each other.

Zhou Qi asked, "Ling Chen, do you know who he is?"

"He is from the God Organization."

God Organization!

Zhou Qi’s expression shifted, his aged eyes suddenly flashing with sharpness and vigilance as he looked at Mr. Yun.

"Our Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion has always kept to itself, separate from the God Organization. What are you up to?"

"Nothing much, I just want to make a deal with Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion and with everyone present."

"Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion rejected your proposal many years ago, we have no interest in cooperating with you. Please take your people and leave immediately. Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion does not welcome uninvited guests."

Mr. Yun said with a smirk, "What if I don’t leave?"

"Then don’t blame me for being impolite. Guards!"

At the command, Zhong Yang immediately arrived with more than a dozen members of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.

Seeing the other party ready to take action, Mr. Yun’s subordinates immediately raised their weapons, aiming at the foreheads of Zhong Yang and his men. Zhong Yang instinctively stopped in his tracks, not daring to move forward.

They were unarmed, how could they confront these people with force? Even with skill in martial arts, they dared not to act recklessly.

Mr. Yun laughed triumphantly, "Gentlemen, I advise you not to act recklessly, otherwise my little devices don’t have eyes. If someone gets hurt later, don’t blame me for not warning you."

Zhou Qi spoke coldly, "Are you bullying us because you think Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion has no one capable?"

"No, no!" Mr. Yun shook his head, "I absolutely do not mean that. On the contrary, I know the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion is full of talented people. If it wasn’t for this reason, I wouldn’t have put so much effort into coming here to see all of you." He paused, then continued, "I admit, the virus incident a while ago was caused by me, but I had no intention of harming anyone. Even if Ling Chen hadn’t found a solution, I would not have let you die."

"What exactly do you want?"

"It’s simple, I want to cooperate. Additionally, let me make it clear that you would be working with me, not with the God Organization."

Zhou Qi, frowning, said, "I don’t see much difference between the two."

"Of course, there’s a difference, but you don’t need to know right now." As he spoke, Mr. Yun looked at everyone present, his lips curling into a slight smile, "I know you are all unhappy with my previous actions, but no worries, I believe you will agree to my proposal."

"Mr. Yun, do you think you can threaten us with these people?" Ling Chen spoke up.

"No, I am well aware of everyone’s abilities; these people are only here to ensure my safety, not to target you. However, let me be frank with you all, I have installed six bombs on this ship. If I detonate them, no matter how skilled you are, you won’t be able to escape. So, I hope you consider carefully whether you want to live or be buried at sea. The choice is yours."

The crowd was taken aback by these words, and the calm on their faces vanished in an instant.

"Ling Chen."

Hu Fei said quietly, "I just checked, and there are six unknown signals under the ship, which must be the bombs he mentioned."

"Is there a way to disarm them?"

"Those bombs are controlled by signals. They hacked into the ship’s system to shut down the signal jamming device, to avoid interfering with the explosives’ signals."
