Lin Chen was taken aback, "You need my help? Mr. Long, you're not kidding, are you?"

"Of course I'm not kidding. A month ago you were just an ordinary high school student, but after the summer vacation, you suddenly acquired some special abilities. Of course, we don't need to know how you got these abilities, nor do we want to know, but I hope you can use them to do some good things," Long Tianci said calmly.

Hearing Long Tianci's words, Lin Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he secretly regretted being too showy, which indeed had attracted outside attention.

"I don't have any special abilities, I just know how to cook," Lin Chen said calmly after collecting himself.

Long Tianci smiled faintly, "A regular high school student achieving Foundation Establishment in less than a month, I believe that would be impossible without some fortuitous encounter."

"Plus, you swallowed up the Du family's two billion in assets, which should have been confiscated, but we let you take it. Do you really think it was just given to you for nothing?" Long Tianci said calmly.

Lin Chen stared at Long Tianci and said calmly, "Are you implying that was a service fee?"

"You could say that," Long Tianci nodded.

"Two billion as a service fee, isn't that a bit much?" Lin Chen said with a smile.

Long Tianci sighed, "It's a form of compensation for your Lin family."

After hearing Long Tianci's words, Lin Chen's pupils contracted sharply.

Long Tianci gave a wry smile, "There are some things that I can't tell you now, but working with us is beneficial for you and the revitalization of the Lin family."

Lin Chen's face showed little emotional fluctuation as he continued to listen to Long Tianci.

In his heart, Long Tianci nodded silently. This young man, although not old, was very mature.

Being able to maintain his composure in the face of such shocking news was indeed rare.

"The real purpose of our visit to DY is not some cooking competition, but to fish. We have been monitoring this organization for a long time. They have been very active in China recently, and this time they will make a move in DY, targeting you and your friends."

Lin Chen frowned slightly. If he was the target, he wasn't worried, but the fact that his friends were involved meant he had to be concerned.

"So working with us is your best choice right now," Long Tianci said lightly.

"Is the Lin family's situation also related to this organization?" Lin Chen suddenly asked.

"Yes, afterward we discovered the shadows of this organization, but everything was too late," Long Tianci sighed.

Lin Chen pondered for a moment and then nodded, "Alright, I can work with you, but I won't take orders from anyone."

"Hey, who do you think you are?" Anna said with some dissatisfaction at his side.

"Fine, for this operation Anna and Kimura can both be at your disposal," Long Tianci said, nodding.

"Good, it's a deal." Having the Dragon Group as a backing would surely be useful for future confrontations with the four major families and that mysterious organization.

"Master, why should I obey a rookie? I don't agree," Anna said dissatisfied.

"Exactly, Mr. Long, I don't like being led by a greenhorn who knows nothing," Kimura glanced disdainfully at Lin Chen.

"Follow orders," Long Tianci commanded with a stern expression.

Anna pouted and reluctantly nodded her head.

Kimura also wore an unhappy face, whispering into Anna's ear, "Sister Na, I'll just listen to you."

Lin Chen saw their little gestures and internally chuckled.

"Mr. Long, we have a situation, Kimura has just dialed a number," Kimura, who was in charge of surveillance, suddenly said.

"Switch the signal over immediately," Long Tian said urgently.

"Yes," Kimura nodded.

But just then, the screen suddenly became blurry and in an instant, all signals were lost.

"Damn, we must have been discovered; all signals are gone," Xiaoshan cursed as he wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"This guy!" Long Tianci also frowned.

Lin Chen looked at the screen that had turned into static and communicated with the system in his mind.

"System, can you intercept Kimura's signal?"

"Such a simple task is no problem, but..."

"Enough, isn't it just about deducting popularity points? Go ahead and deduct."

"Ding-dong, the target's signal channel has been intercepted, deducting 2000 popularity points."

"Damn it, System, if you were in business, you'd definitely be a heartless merchant," Lin Chen cursed.

Lin Chen approached the computer: "Xiaoshan, let me do it."

"You, can you handle it?" Xiaoshan looked at Lin Chen with doubt.

"I'll give it a try," said Lin Chen as he sat down at the computer, his fingers tapping rapidly on the keyboard.

A few seconds later, a chilly voice came through the speaker, "Your Highness, it seems there's a bit of trouble. A mysterious kid has suddenly appeared."

"Hmph, don't bother with him. Your task is to stir up chaos in DY to facilitate our actions," the chilly voice said.

"Yes, Your Highness, I think I've been spotted by those guys from Dragon Group. From now on, contact me using the X-line," Kimura said in a deep voice.

"Hmm, be careful, the Dragon Group guys are quite bothersome."

"Don't worry, Your Highness. Right now, those guys are probably staring at the monitors dumbfounded," Kimura said proudly.

After the call ended, Xiaoshan's face showed a shocked expression.

"My god, it's the X-line. It's actually the X-line that we haven't been able to crack for over a year. How did you do it?" Shock was evident on Xiaoshan's face.

Hearing that it was the X-line, both Long Tianci and Anna showed shocked expressions on their faces as well.

The X-line had always been something the Dragon Group and the World Police Organization wanted to crack, but even by gathering the world's best hackers, they had been unable to do so.

Unexpectedly, Lin Chen had cracked the mysterious line that had troubled the world's police organizations in less than a minute.

"Didn't you say I was a greenhorn who understood nothing? You can think of it as a lucky guess," Lin Chen said disdainfully, stretching lazily.

Xiaoshan's cheeks turned red, "A lucky guess? Impossible, boss, you're too awesome. From now on, I'm following you."

Just a moment ago, Xiaoshan was disdainful of Lin Chen, but now he was completely in awe of him.

"Ninth Prince!" Long Tianci's brows furrowed slightly.

"Long Lao, who is this Ninth Prince?" Lin Chen asked curiously.

Long Tianci shook his head, "This organization is extremely mysterious, having planned several cases that shocked the world, but their leader has never emerged. This is also our first encounter with this Ninth Prince."

"So, what's our next move?" Anna asked.

Long Tianci pondered for a moment, "If I'm not mistaken, Kimura will definitely create chaos during the finals, and they must have another target."

"Lin Chen, you and Anna will be responsible for Kimura. I will take people and focus on the periphery," Long Tianci said solemnly.

"Yes, yes!" Anna and Xiaoshan nodded seriously.

Lin Chen didn't speak, but he had other plans in mind; waiting to be attacked was not his style.
