Chapter 5 — My House Is 42 Degrees Hot, Turns Out It's A Horrifying Plot

It's a server room. A server room disguised as a sealed house. There is no sofa in the living room. There is no television. There is no tea table. Instead, rows and rows of server cabinets were emitting cold blue light. Countless colorful cables were entangled like chaotic blood vessels, crawling along the floor and ceiling, connecting to each machine that was constantly making buzzing sounds. The air was filled with a stuffy, suffocating heat. The thermometer hanging on the wall was steady at fifty degrees. It was like we had just rushed inside the case of a giant supercomputer. All windows were sealed with thick soundproofing panels and blackout curtains. Not a single ray of light penetrated outside. The only light source in the room came from the indicator lights on the servers. Blue and red light alternately lit and dark reflected on people's faces. Both weird and scary.

“Oh my god…”

A young worker couldn't help but exclaim.

“Are there so many machines like this?”

“He opens an internet cafe in his house?”

But Mr. Ly's face was extremely heavy. He walked over to a server cabinet. Look at the radiator fans spinning at extremely high speeds and the complex circuit board structure inside.

“Not an internet cafe.”

He lowered his voice.

“This is a coin mining machine.”

“The type that specializes in Bitcoin mining.”

The words just ended. Everyone simultaneously inhaled a cold breath. Everyone has heard this word in the press. It is said that a high-performance coin mining machine can consume as much electricity as an entire family uses in a month. But here... There are at least a hundred such machines. I finally understand why my electricity bill is so high. Suddenly I realized an even scarier problem.

“Luu Phuong.”

I turned my head. Stare at her.

“Where does the electricity for these machines come from?”

Luu Phuong's face at this moment could no longer be described as pale. She looked like a ghost. Leaning against the door frame with empty eyes.

“He... he stole electricity from the entire building's public electricity system.”

“He said that way electricity won't detect it…”

What a complete madman. He didn't just turn my house into a free radiator. He also stole electricity from the entire building to support this underground coin mining mine. Once the incident is revealed. What awaits him is not just my civil lawsuit. But also huge fines and prison sentences. I found it. I have found his fatal weakness. I took out my phone. Started filming the entire engine room, which was both massive and sinful. From rows of server cabinets. To the illegally modified pipe system on the ceiling. Then the entire electrical box in the corner of the wall was pried open, filled with all kinds of wires inside. I filmed extremely carefully. Luu Phuong wanted to rush to stop. But Mr. Ly pushed him aside.

“Girl, just turn away.”

“We will be your witnesses!”

After filming is complete. I immediately sent the video to my lawyer and two most trusted friends. Also set up a timed message. If I don't cancel within twenty-four hours. A message containing the video and current location will automatically be sent to the police agency. Done it all. I feel calmer than ever. I put my phone in my pocket. Slowly walk to the middle of the room room. Look at the machines that are still making a constant buzzing sound. They are the source of all the suffering I have endured over the past two years. But now. They became the strongest weapons in my hands. I turned my head to look at Luu Phuong.

“Call your husband.”

“Tell him he only has thirty minutes to get back here.”

“Thirty minutes later, if I still haven't seen his men.”

I pointed to the bright red main circuit breaker on the wall.

“I will personally send all his heart and soul to the grave.”

Vuong Cuong does not take the elevator. The sound of heavy and rapid footsteps echoed from the stairs getting closer little by little. Every step. It was like stepping on Luu Phuong's heart. Uncle Ly and the workers looked at each other. Unconsciously standing in front of me, forming a human wall. My mood was extremely calm. There's even some anticipation. I wanted to see what the person who treated me like a fool for the past two years actually looked like. The door was pushed open from the outside with a loud "bang". A man appeared at the door. He is very tall. Wear a well-tailored black suit. On the bridge of his nose is a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. Looking extremely polite. Even has some intellectual elements. But the eyes behind those glasses are sharp as eagles. Full of coldness and calculation. That is Vuong Cuong. His eyes quickly scanned the room. Server rows are worth quite a bit. The moving workers stood in front of me.
