"What favor?" Lin Yixun asked, puzzled.
Song Yi suddenly leaned close to Lin Yixun’s ear and whispered his idea.
Upon hearing it, Lin Yixun frowned, "Isn’t this a bit too much?"
"Don’t you think it would be a lot of fun?"
Lin Yixun shook her head, "Is it really that fun?"
"Just help out this one ti, please. Rember, it took all my strength to save you back then. Now I’m just asking you to do a small favor, isn’t it fair?" Of course, Song Yi didn’t ntion anything about the face-changing incident.
"Well... alright."
Ten minutes later, the electronic screens in various major departnt stores of T City were displaying the ssage "Lili, I love you." In less than a minute, the girl called Lili called, and then Song Yi successfully won her over.
Lin Yixun was speechless about this. She felt sowhat tricked. What had she just done? To help soone win a girl, she had beco a genuine hacker.
What she didn’t know was that her unintended act had shaken the entire Leng’s. Among the electronic screens hacked last night, the ones in Leng’s stores were not spared.
In the eting room, Leng Yixiu threw his pen on the table, "An entire night, and you couldn’t find even a small hacker. What are you all doing?"
"President Leng, the other party encrypted the IP address, so we couldn’t find them imdiately," a senior executive explained quietly.
"They encrypted it, and you can’t crack it? Are all those overseas returnees under you brainless?"
"President Leng, the hacker only took control of the departnt store screens, the company didn’t suffer any substantial loss."
Leng Yixiu’s face darkened further, and he said coldly, "Manager Zhu, you’re right, there was no substantial loss this ti. But what about next ti? What if next ti, they hack into my computer instead of the departnt store screens? Have you thought about what would happen then?"
Leng Yixiu’s probing questions rendered Manager Zhu speechless. He thought he was done for. Last week, a senior executive made a mistake and got fired by the big boss. This ti, was he going to be the unlucky one?
Assistant Li glanced at the other senior executives for help, but everyone’s heads were bowed low. No one dared to attract the big boss’s ire at this mont.
The big boss had always been terrifying, but since his ex-wife’s death six months ago, his thods had beco even more ruthless. More than a dozen senior executives were fired, and not even the founders who helped him build the company were spared.
They could only silently sympathize with Manager Zhu. This hacking incident could be a big deal or a small matter, but Manager Zhu would need all the luck he could get.
Just when everyone thought Manager Zhu was out of luck, a sudden ringtone sounded in the large eting room.
Everyone bowed their heads even lower, wondering who was so fearless to leave their phone on during a eting. To their surprise, the "fearless" person was their big boss.
He picked up the phone and pressed the answer button. No one knew what the person on the other end said, but the stern and icy look on his face lted like an iceberg eting warm sunlight.
One of the braver senior executives curiously lifted his head, and in the next mont, his mouth twitched uncontrollably. Was the big boss smiling? Was their iceberg-like President actually smiling?
Everyone was curious about who could cause their iceberg-like President to smile with just a few words.
Little did they know the call was from the Leng family’s nanny, and what lted the icy President was the sweet voice of a seven-month-old baby.
"Baba, baba..."
...
Chu Yan soon found out about Lin Yixun helping Song Yi with his romantic pursuit. Furious, she berated Song Yi harshly.
"What if the boss finds out you took her out without permission? Song Yi, are you trying to get killed?"
"I just took her for a walk, it wasn’t that serious."
"Not serious? My life isn’t as important as your little romance! But if you want to pursue a girl, could you not involve Shi Yi and ? Do you know that getting her to hack soone else’s computer is illegal? If she gets caught, she could go to jail."
"Well..." Song Yi scratched his head, "I didn’t think that far ahead."
"Of course you didn’t, you’re just thinking with your hormones!"
Seeing them argue endlessly, Lin Yixun intervened, "Yanyan, it’s my fault too this ti. I won’t do it again. Also, don’t worry, I encrypted the virus, it shouldn’t be easily traced back."
Chu Yan saw Lin Yixun speaking up for Song Yi and stopped arguing, but reluctantly said, "Just don’t do it again. Song Yi loves causing trouble, but you shouldn’t follow his lead."
Lin Yixun nodded.
Since that day, Song Yi behaved himself, and Lin Yixun, following Chu Yan’s advice, stayed in the basent and never went out.
Days passed, and soon, all of Lin Yixun’s body functions had recovered. She had troubled Chu Yan and Song Yi for so long, it was ti to leave.
When Lin Yixun ntioned her intention to leave, Chu Yan was reluctant but couldn’t persuade her otherwise. She still had Song Yi find soone outside who could offer Lin Yixun a job.
Although Song Yi usually seed unreliable, he had quite an extensive network. Given Lin Yixun’s skills with computers, finding a basic job wasn’t hard. However, due to her unclear identity, she could only work as a temp at a small company run by one of Song Yi’s friends. Nevertheless, she managed to find a way to make a living.
"Though it’s a bit beneath your talents, and the pay isn’t great, at least it will keep you fed for now."
"Thank you both."
"Hey, no need to thank us. Didn’t you help out already?" Song Yi’s expression turned serious, "Chu Yan and I will take you out. There are guards outside; you can’t get out alone. It’d be a sha to be made a target outside."
Song Yi wasn’t joking. There were indeed several guards around the villa. Except for the villa staff, no outsiders were allowed to enter or leave.
This made Lin Yixun curious. Who exactly was the villa’s owner? Was it necessary to surround a house like a fortress?
In the basent, which connected to the villa’s underground garage, Song Yi blocked the caras, letting Lin Yixun and Chu Yan get into the car. He then walked around the front of the car to the driver’s seat.
"When we get to the villa gate, lie down and don’t make a sound," Song Yi reminded her before starting the engine.
"Got it." Lin Yixun was already familiar with this from the last ti.
They thought this would go as smoothly as their trip to the mountaintop, but as soon as they left the garage, they hit a major snag. Who would have thought the big boss, who was supposed to return the day after tomorrow, would pull a surprise visit today?!
