New Century Group Headquarters, downstairs.

Xu Youwen pushed up the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose. With a certain degree of elegant demeanor, he raised his eyes to look at the pitch-black New Century Building in front of him.

Beside him, the subordinates from the Xu Family's security company surged toward the building's main entrance like a tide.

"Second Young Master, the team at the building's back entrance is already in position. Additionally, the people split from the Yang Family have entered through the underground parking entrance; now the opponent would find it difficult to escape even with wings."

The speaker was a middle-aged man with a square face and a knife scar on the left side, carrying a certain aura of severity.

Xu Youwen heard this and the corner of his mouth curved up.

"Uncle Lei, it's the first time we're making such a grand spectacle to deal with one person, right?"

Xu Lei turned his head towards Xu Youwen and nodded: "Yeah, it really is the first time."

"The scale is almost as big as a regiment."

Xu Youwen chuckled: "To mobilize all three families because of this Li Feng, even if he loses, it's not unjust."

"I'm somewhat eager to see what his expression will be like."

With that, Xu Youwen stepped forward toward the building.

The building's door was violently smashed open, shattered glass scattered on the ground, and the crowd rushed into the lobby, yet the first-floor lobby was empty, with no resistance whatsoever.

"Young Master Xu, the building's internal power seems to be cut off, and the elevators aren't functional either."

Once inside the building, Xu Youwen faced the first challenge.

"Ha, does Li Feng think turning off the lights will stop us? Have someone bring the things in."

"Yes."

Soon, someone appeared in the lobby, carrying large bags. Xu Youwen kicked a bag over, and numerous flashlights rolled out.

"Everyone take a flashlight and use the stairs. Even if each person spits once, they can drown this Li Feng."

Quickly, people picked up flashlights. The lights flickered, and the three families' forces on the first floor immediately rushed to the fire escape, beginning to climb the stairs.

"Second Young Master, the opponent probably has some tricks left."

"Uncle Lei, I know. The other party has so many people but let us in through the main entrance; it's clearly a trap."

"This building isn't small, more than thirty floors up and down. We have many people, but once restricted by the terrain, the number we can utilize rapidly is scarce."

"However, I expected this, so I let Uncle Lei mix private guards with the security, with your guards, even if Li Feng has more schemes, in the end, it all comes down to the power at hand."

"After all, we have the numbers. As long as we can latch on to the opponent, hey, it's enough for him to suffer."

"If Li Feng wants to trap, he better have the appetite for it."

Xu Youwen was highly confident; so many people couldn't take down mere Li Feng; even if he was Huacheng's Hidden Dragon, he'd have to submit today.

"How many floors do we have to climb?"

"Seems like thirty-eight floors."

"Thirty-eight floors, the opponent even cut the elevators; too sinister." A security guard from the Xu Family glanced at the handrail, seeing a dense crowd below, the entire staircase blocked.

Right now, even descending is difficult.

"Humph, even if the elevators weren't cut, would you dare ride them? What if the power cuts midway; you'd be helpless. Hurry, climb up, it's only thirty-eight floors."

Thirty-eight floors, even for security guards who train often, were a significant drain. Three to five minutes later, the front-runners reached the safety passage on the thirty-eighth floor.

Squeak.

The passage door was pushed open directly.

"Still nobody?"

The leading individuals were initially alert but rushed into the hallway only to find no obstruction: "What's going on?"

"You ask me, whom should I ask? The chairman's office should be on this floor, move!"

Using the flashlights' glow to scan the corridor, the group remained cautious, considering there hadn't been any resistance from entering the building's main entrance until now. Something clearly wasn't right.

"Alright, start now."

Inside the building's control center, surveillance footage projected on large screens, relaying situations from inside the building to here.

An Xi watched the monitor footage, suddenly revealing a cold smile.

"Yes."

The hacker sitting before the equipment crossed his hands, stretched his fingers, and then began furiously tapping away at the keyboard.

Finally, a press of the enter key.

"Hey, come on, baby."

With this enter key, the building's redesigned security system was activated. This system combined security and fire safety components, and once activated...

The entire building's installed fire roller shutters began closing, along with security barriers dropping in succession at the main entrance.

The underground parking exits also closed off with roller shutters.

"What's going on?"

"They activated the fire safety system; they want to trap us like dogs!"

"Trap us like dogs?"

The person nearby dismissively responded: "We've got at least eighty to ninety percent of our people inside; they want to trap us like dogs? Not afraid of bursting their guts."

News quickly reached Xu Youwen; currently, Xu Youwen was on the twentieth floor of the safety passage.

"Not good; the opponent is playing dirty, pouring gasoline downward."

This shout from above swiftly circulated out; those climbing the stairs abruptly changed expressions, now realizing the potential of being drenched in gasoline. It would be a merciless roasting feast.

Xu Youwen's face slightly changed.

"Li Feng dares."

"Second Young Master, now it's not about Li Feng daring; we can't afford to gamble." Xu Lei nearby also showed a faint change in countenance; the opponent was ruthless indeed.

Close the fire roller shutters, then ignite a fire.

If this fire blazes, it won't just claim a few lives.

Xu Youwen's expression fluctuated; he couldn't afford to gamble, especially when he was inside this skyscraper too.

"Everyone, leave the safety passage now."

"The passage doors are locked from inside."

"The sixteenth floor isn't locked."

Most floor passage doors were locked, yet a few remained open, causing a surge of people into those floors.

"Tsk, many people, but as chaotic as sand and dogs."

"Send signals below, start trapping them like dogs."

"Yes.

The hacker grinned maliciously, sending out the command. The originally pitch-dark New Century Building suddenly illuminated throughout at this moment.
