I Received Messages From Future Self!-Chapter 186 - : A USB Drive

Chapter 186: Chapter 186: A USB Drive

Tom slept on the sofa in the outer room.

Fang Xiaocao slept on the big bed in the inner room!

After instructing Tom to stay alert at all times, Fang Xiaocao walked into the inner room, took a bath, and lay down on the bed.

With Tom watching the door, Fang Xiaocao felt much more at ease.

She took out her phone and sent a message to Hot Noodles:

“You know what happened here, right?”

[Hot Noodles: I know, and I can only say, this Han Xue is really hard to kill!]

The tone of Hot Noodles’ WeChat message was full of teasing.

“Who’s saying it isn’t!”

“This damn woman, Han Xue, is really hard to kill!”

Looking at Hot Noodles’ WeChat, Fang Xiaocao couldn’t help but shake her head and wryly smile.

[Hot Noodles: What do you need me for?]

[Hot Noodles: I’m really busy now!]

Looking at Hot Noodles’ WeChat, Fang Xiaocao paused, curiously asking, “What are you busy with?”

[Hot Noodles: Busy investigating the villa’s mistress.]

[Hot Noodles: I didn’t know before, but the villa’s mistress had actually formed a power group. Now that I know, I naturally need to investigate thoroughly.]

“Oh, I see!”

“I wanted to ask you, how can I get away from the Blacklist’s assassination attempts.”

Since Hot Noodles was busy with important matters, Fang Xiaocao decided not to beat around the bush and directly stated her purpose.

[Hot Noodles: That’s a bit difficult.]

[Hot Noodles: But you can use a strategy of misdirection, let Tom spread a rumor in the black market, saying that Han Xue and the others took something from Villa 5 that Taotie lost a few years ago, to divert the Blacklist’s attention.]

[Hot Noodles: You might get an unexpected surprise. If the Blacklist really cares about this item, they will definitely dispatch manpower to track Han Xue and the others’ whereabouts, naturally leaving you alone.]

[Hot Noodles: Even if the Blacklist doesn’t plan to let you go, they won’t hunt you as intensely as they are now.]

Looking at Hot Noodles’ analysis, Fang Xiaocao’s eyes lit up.

“What a great strategy of misdirection!”

Fang Xiaocao exclaimed in her heart.

Fang Xiaocao couldn’t help but remark, “Experience does come with age!”

Hot Noodles: Who are you calling old?

Hot Noodles felt offended.

If the strategy of misdirection really unfolds as Hot Noodles analyzed, there might truly be some unexpected gains.

For instance…

Could Han Xue be conveniently assassinated by the Blacklist’s assassins?

If two forces start clashing, the Blacklist might not have the time to deal with her.

“I like this strategy of misdirection!”

Fang Xiaocao replied with a WeChat message.

“By the way, any progress on the investigations concerning Zhi Qi, Su Wanqing, Yun Luoshu, and Wen Shi?”

Fang Xiaocao sent a WeChat message asking.

[Hot Noodles: No results yet, with the current information, I can’t tell who is Thousand Faces, who the targeted assassin wants to kill, and I can’t even tell if the assassin targeting you and Thousand Faces are the same person.]

Seeing Hot Noodles’ response, Fang Xiaocao sighed.

“This is such a headache!”

Fang Xiaocao sighed.

Thinking about the people around her, except for Tom, she couldn’t even tell who was genuine or deceptive, making Fang Xiaocao’s head ache.

This feeling of powerlessness was very uncomfortable.

“Alright then!”

“You go ahead with your tasks!”

“Keep me posted if there’s any news.”

“I’m going to implement this strategy of misdirection!”

Seeing that Hot Noodles had no more interesting news, Fang Xiaocao was ready to end the chat.

[Hot Noodles: Wait, first check out what exactly Taotie had lost back then.]

[Hot Noodles: There might be some useful information inside.]

At that moment, Hot Noodles sent another message via WeChat.

“Ah, I forgot about this!”

Seeing the message, Fang Xiaocao smacked her forehead.

“I’m going to look at it right now!”

Fang Xiaocao replied to Hot Noodles, hastily took out her briefcase, and eagerly opened it.

The contents of the briefcase caused Fang Xiaocao to pause in shock.

In the briefcase, there were two handguns, six bullet cartridges filled to capacity, two black daggers, a piece of paper covered in writing, and a USB drive.

Fang Xiaocao picked up her phone, activated the camera, photographed everything in the briefcase, and sent the pictures to Hot Noodles.

“So, these are the things in the briefcase.”

Fang Xiaocao sent the message on WeChat, picked up the paper, and began to examine what was written on it.

The paper was filled with names.

It appeared to be some kind of list!

[Hot Noodles: Take a photo of that list and send it to me. I’ll investigate each name one by one.]

[Hot Noodles: There should be some important information on that USB drive; don’t touch it carelessly. Let Tom look at it first. Generally, USB drives containing critical information have traps.]

[Hot Noodles: If Tom can crack the USB drive, export the data and send it to me.]

“No problem!”

Fang Xiaocao replied. She followed Hot Noodles’ instructions, took a photo of the list, sent it to Hot Noodles, put down her phone, picked up the USB drive, and opened the door to find Tom.

“Tom, come take a look at this USB drive!”

Fang Xiaocao placed the USB drive in front of Tom.

At the sight of the USB drive, Tom’s expression froze, and he instinctively sat up straight.

“Princess Your Highness, where did you get this USB drive?”

Tom picked up the USB drive, examining it thoroughly while asking.

“It was in that briefcase.”

“Besides this, there was a list and some weapons.”

Fang Xiaocao curiously watched Tom as she answered.

Fang Xiaocao sensed from Tom’s reaction that he might recognize the USB drive.

Thinking this, Fang Xiaocao asked, “Tom, do you recognize this USB drive?”

“Of course, this is a black-market-specific USB drive, touted as the safest data storage device.”

“Don’t underestimate this little thing; it’s full of restrictions and even has a self-destruct mechanism.”

Tom replied.

Upon hearing Tom’s words, Fang Xiaocao was taken aback.

It immediately made her feel a cold sweat forming.

It was a good thing Tom was around!

If Tom hadn’t been there, Fang Xiaocao would have tried to access the data on the USB drive herself, given her nature.

If so…

Had the USB drive contained the self-destruct setting Tom mentioned, she couldn’t begin to imagine the consequences.

“Can you crack it?”

Fang Xiaocao asked tentatively.

“It’s difficult, but I can only try.”

“Also, I can’t crack it here. I need a lot of professional equipment.”

Tom replied.

“Alright then, let’s just leave it for now.”

Fang Xiaocao said helplessly.

“Then get this information out on the black market’s dark web.”

Fang Xiaocao told Tom to spread the news, urging him to disseminate it quickly.

“No problem, I’ll do it right away!”

Tom pulled out a small laptop from his backpack and began logging into the black market’s dark web.

Fang Xiaocao sent a message to Hot Noodles about the current inability to crack the USB drive.
