Chapter 511: Chapter 317: The Mysterious Person
“Team Leader, should we call this popping champagne at halfti?”
Qin Yun lightened the mood.
Lin Chuan touched his nose and chuckled, “It could also be called planning ahead, I guess.”
Several people exchanged smiles.
In the small office, there was an air of relaxation.
Elsewhere, with Lin Chuan’s guidance and specific steps, it was a breeze for Squirrel to filch so data from AW’s server.
...
For Squirrel and Lin Chuan, it was a piece of cake.
But in the hacker community, it stirred up quite a wave.
Among them, Lin Chuan intentionally added fuel to the fire.
It wasn’t long before.
News of Squirrel taking a bite from the God of Hackers began to spread throughout the hacker community.
[Watt, what’s going on?]
[A second God of Hackers?]
[My God, what have I seen, is this for real?]
[He’s so bold, actually daring to snatch food from the God of Hackers!]
[Isn’t he afraid that the God of Hackers will track him down through the internet to retaliate?]
[If you’re talking about anyone else tracking through the internet, I definitely wouldn’t believe it, but the God of Hackers, he really can do it!]
[Personal analysis, this kid has so skills, getting a bit of an upper hand over the God of Hackers. I bet the major powers will soon be fighting over him!]
[That’s definitely right, he has potential!]
[The next God of Hackers?]
[…]
In the hacker circles, on the Dark Live streaming platform, many live rooms were discussing the sudden appearance of this person.
At present, no one knew he was Squirrel.
The hackers’ speculations weren’t far off from the truth.
Even North Bear’s HK wanted to find this mysterious person.
Hackers in North Arica even issued statents wanting to recruit this mysterious person to form another AW, becoming the next dominant hacker organization following AW.
Inside Morgan Group, it was the sa.
As the day drew to a close, but before night fell.
The glow of the setting sun lay on the golden-orange sea, the tropical sky a gradation of golden and purple hues intertwined, a gentle breeze blowing, carrying the salty scent of the ocean and the fresh aroma of coconut palms, skimming over the skin with a hint of coolness.
Lucas had already moved out of his original office space.
— Yu Qin had been arrested; it would be foolish to stay in the sa place.
Now, he stood in front of the window, the salty sea breeze caressing him, his past vigor significantly diminished, now appearing sowhat desolate.
Yes, his tenure as head of Morgan Group’s Asia-Pacific Division was nearly at an end.
Morgan Headquarters had given him his final, grim order.
— At any cost, take out Lin Chuan.
This was his only opportunity.
Therefore, he had no choice but to collaborate with Baisheng Group.
How could he and his good-for-nothing subordinates possibly accomplish the task on their own?
Even the astute Yu sisters had failed.
Sigh—
Lucas swirled the red wine in his hand, took a light sip.
The wine hadn’t been given enough ti to breathe, so it tasted slightly astringent, just like his current situation.
Knock, knock, knock!
A knocking sounded at the door.
Lucas glanced back, “Co in.”
He recognized the rhythm of the knock; it was his secretary’s.
Sure enough.
The woman who had always been at Lucas’s side—his secretary—in a snug suit, long legs sheathed in black stockings, walked in with a graceful figure, a professional smile on her face.
“General Manager, please give your orders.”
Lucas lifted his hand.
The secretary understood and stepped forward two paces, taking the wine glass from his hand.
At that mont.
Lucas spoke, “Moli, you inspired at noon today, lots of our data is in AW’s hands, so let’s get the hackers in motion. Have there been any developnts so far?”
Moli, which was the secretary’s na, hesitated, “This… There hasn’t been any feedback from the people below at the mont.”
Ah, Lucas sighed inwardly once more.
He also saw this operation as a shot in the dark and had not really pinned his hopes there.
After all, who among his subordinates could snatch food from the jaws of Lin Chuan?
Not being badly beaten was already a cause for thanksgiving.
Lucas pondered for a mont and said in a grave tone, “Moli, now instruct HR to utilize our connections and try to get in touch with soone.”
“Who?” Moli lifted her eyes and asked with clear curiosity.
“Just a while ago, I saw news in the hacker community; soone really did snatch a piece of cake from Lin Chuan’s hands, so I want to find that mysterious hacker.”
Lucas ordered.
“I’ll notify HR right away,” Moli, the efficient secretary that she was, took action on Lucas’s command.
After speaking, she imdiately turned and left the office.
“Wait a mont!”
Lucas called out to Moli.
Moli stopped and turned, “General Manager, do you have any further instructions?”
Lucas contemplated briefly and then said, “Have the cyber security departnt also try to make contact with that mysterious person.”
“Alright!” Moli nodded earnestly.
Moli exited the office.
Lucas sat down at the desk, poured a small portion of red wine for himself, sipping alone.
Right now, he was very eager to find the person who had managed to snatch a small piece of cake from Lin Chuan’s hands!
It didn’t matter whether that person could hold their own against Lin Chuan or not.
Just resisting for a short while, causing confusion for a mont, would provide him with a great deal of advantage.
He was in dire need of such talent!
Knock, knock, knock!
The sa rhythmic knocking soon reached his ears again.
Moli had returned.
“Have you run into any obstacles?”
Lucas lifted his gaze to Moli, his first thought being whether HR and the cyber security departnt were giving her a hard ti.
If that was the case, then so discipline was in order.
In these tis of consecutive failures, the atmosphere within the group had turned depressing, and many people were starting to slack off at work.
It was ti to set an example!
Moli quickly shook her head, “General Manager, no, I have news!”
Her speech was fast and clear.
Lucas blinked, frowning slightly, “What news?”
“About the data of our group, the subsidiary has given feedback.”
Moli’s face was smiling, seemingly delighted to have received the feedback.
“Feedback already?”
Lucas showed a bit of hesitation at first, “Positive feedback, or…?”
Moli nodded emphatically, “Positive feedback, the subsidiary has completed the task, successfully breached AW’s server, and snatched back the data about us from Lin Chuan’s hands that AW had.”
“What?!”
Lucas’s eyes widened, three furrows forming on his forehead.
This scenario was beyond his wildest expectations!
Was it a case of serendipity?
Or, could it be that there was an expert hidden among the ordinary?
He didn’t know.
A wave of disbelief washed over him, while at the sa ti, a glimr of hope began to slowly ignite upon a patch of dry grass.
“General Manager?” Moli called softly when Lucas didn’t respond.
Lucas snapped out of his trance, his face lighting up with joy, “Good! Good! Nicely done, tell the details imdiately, who completed the task!”
At that mont.
Excitent and elation replaced the confusion and disbelief on Lucas’s face.
Moli presented the feedback from the subsidiary to Lucas, “General Manager, the subsidiary reports that in the IT security team, a young man known as Squirrel has perford outstandingly in this mission. Here is his operation flow under screen surveillance.”
A tablet was handed over to Lucas.
The screen was showing Squirrel ‘operating’ the computer, typing codes, running programs, and other cool maneuvers as he seamlessly infiltrated AW’s crippled server, scoured for a long ti, and finally secured the desired data.
Along the way, he also snagged a good deal of other data.
“Nice!”
Lucas exclaid as he watched.
He felt like a destitute clan leader who suddenly took in a potential genius.
The taste of that mont was indescribable.
On the tablet, the video scrolled to the end.
Moli lightly tapped, pulling up a docunt, “General Manager, this is the data he retrieved.”
“Good, good, good!”
Lucas exclaid in approval.
Suddenly!
He paused for a mont.
It seed… this person called Squirrel was the sa mysterious individual who had taken a piece of the cake from Lin Chuan!
Hiss!
Lucas’s eyes shone even brighter!
That’s right!
It was him, it was him, it was definitely him!
In the Hacker circles, there was talk only of a mysterious individual.
His own subordinate had also retrieved data from AW’s server.
So…
Squirrel = that mysterious individual!
Searching for him through thousands of miles, I turned around unexpectedly, and there he was where the lights were dim!
Absolutely brilliant!
Lucas’s mood shifted from lant to invigoration and excitent, he picked up the red wine and glass, poured a generous cup, and without savoring the wine, drank a big gulp as if it were a beverage.
He let out a contented sigh!
With the red wine in his belly, Lucas’s head cleared up quite a bit, and he imdiately ordered his secretary, “Moli, imdiately transfer this hero to the headquarters, I want to see him tonight!”
Moli was startled and nodded hastily, “Okay, got it!”
Imdiately, she began to contact the HR departnt, the subsidiary, and all the way to Squirrel.
The setting sun’s afterglow faded over the vast expanse of the sea.
In the twilight sky, stars sparkled like scattered gems upon dark silk, and the gentle sea breeze caressed the face, feeling incredibly soft to Lucas.
He had never felt such a comfortable sea breeze before.
The subtle sounds of nature, at this mont, also seed exceptionally enchanting, like the tender whispers of a first love, like strings and flutes.
January in Southeast Asia was not cold, just a touch cool.
Lucas wrapped himself in a light coat and paced in his office, looking towards the door from ti to ti to see if Moli was bringing soone in.
It was around nine in the evening when interlaced footsteps sounded outside the door.
Lucas’s eyes brightened, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily rose as he turned his head to look towards the door.
As expected.
Following behind Moli was a young man.
This young man was Squirrel!
Squirrel seed to be around twenty-five or twenty-six, with an intense gaze and a thirst for power in his eyes. Lucas could even tell that Squirrel had a strong desire for this place.
Lucas imdiately stood up to greet him, with a broad smile on his face.
“General Manager, this is Squirrel,” the secretary, Moli, introduced.
Lucas eyed Squirrel up and down, nodding continuously, then raised his hand and patted Squirrel’s shoulder, affirming, “Squirrel, you did a very good job!”
Squirrel nodded in response, “General Manager, I can do even better.”
Lucas heard this and was even more reassured!
Such a subordinate, if guided and nurtured properly, would definitely grow into a Fierce General!
In the past few hours, he had Moli pull up Squirrel’s profile.
After joining the subsidiary, Squirrel had shown good conduct, settling in for quite so ti with nothing suspicious.
Thus, Lucas felt very confident about Squirrel.
“Very good, very good!”
Lucas beca more and more satisfied as he watched, gesturing for Squirrel to sit down, “You have been through a long period at the subsidiary, and now, I’m assigning you here to take up the position of IT Departnt Manager. Are you interested?”
Squirrel pondered for a mont, “I’m more interested in the role of IT Director!”
Lucas laughed heartily, feeling even more pleased, “No problem, as long as you perform well enough and have the ability, what’s IT Director, right?”
As the head of a group division, he had led countless people; he never feared ambition in his subordinates.
If they didn’t have ambition, that was the real cause for suspicion.
Either they were incompetent or deceitful!
Neither could be relied upon!
This Squirrel, strong and ambitious, that is the person I’m looking for!— Lucas thought to himself.
“Moli, pour so wine!”
Lucas then ordered Moli to pour red wine for Squirrel, and then, he raised his glass, clinking it lightly with Squirrel’s, “As long as you follow , whatever you want, is yours for the asking!”
“General Manager, as long as you can give what I want, my loyalty to you will be absolute!” Squirrel stated with determination.
“What do you want?” Lucas was confident he could manage Squirrel.
“Money, beauty, power!”
Squirrel stated his desires without hesitation.
Lucas laughed loudly, “No problem, all these I can satisfy for you!”
