But no matter how fast Bei Sangyun acted, Fei Chuan still saw the current trending posts on the school forum about him.
After parting ways with Bei Sangyun, he retrieved his laptop and discovered the vandalized locker, which had more writing than when he left the school earlier.
Ignoring the looks he received, he headed to the library to finish what he was doing. Upon entering the school forum’s website, he encountered the glaring posts about himself.
Fei Chuan was not greatly affected by this. In fact, compared to the physical bullying he endured in the past, this form of online harassnt had a significantly lesser impact on him.
The malicious gazes and harsh words, at the very least, didn’t affect him as much as the physical harassnt he had experienced.
Unconcerned, he didn’t bother to erase the posts and continued hacking the anonymous posters. As he cracked another firewall, a notification popped up.
Since he hadn’t logged out of the forum, he was notified of recent posts. About to close the tab, his eyes caught the title.
[The Tyrant Has Spoken!]
Fei Chuan paused. After so deliberation, he clicked on the notification, leading him to the forum.
[The tyrant has addressed the issue. Anyone ntioning Fei Chuan’s na will have to answer to the tyrant!]
Below was a brief recording of Bei Sangyun’s threatening remarks.
Her cold and firm voice sounded, "If I hear your dirty mouth ntion any nonsense while saying his na, I will rip your tongue out."
Fei Chuan: "...."
His lips twitched. Although they made a deal that she would protect him at school using her title as the tyrant, this—using threats—was a bit too much.
Would this even threat work?
He speculated that it might only make things worse. It could potentially aggravate the crowd, and there was a risk of dragging Bei Sangyun into the mud with him.
Concerned, Fei Chuan checked the comnts.
The current post was rapidly gaining views. However, despite its popularity, only a few people dared to leave comnts. Their responses were too positive, all were fawning over Bei Sangyun. No one went against her words or ntioned his na.
Fei Chuan: "..."
He realized he may have worried too much. He underestimated Bei Sangyun’s influence at school. When she told everyone to shut up, they indeed complied.
Fei Chuan shook his head. Unbeknownst to him, a small smile erged from the corner of his lips. It wasn’t so bad to have soone acting as his shield- protecting him from all various of harsh rumors.
Fei Chuan resud his activities with peace of mind. After breaking into the last firewall, he accessed the anonymous account.
He raised an eyebrow. He wasn’t particularly surprised to discover that the IP address originated from overseas.
A malicious smile played on his lips. Fei Chuan harbored deep grudges, and he wouldn’t easily let this person go.
****
In the dimly lit room, a man was eating in front of his computer desk when his computer suddenly glitched. The man hurriedly put down his food. There’s no way his computer, with high specs and advanced security software, would glitch.
As a skilled hacker, he knew what this glitching ant. So bastard must have tried to hack into his computer!
The man had many enemies. In the cyber world, he was known as Code. He had nurous clients and had offended the enemies of those clients. Those people searched tirelessly for ways to trace him so they could retrieve the information he stole from their drives.
Code was very confident in his skills. Many people even referred to him as ’godly’ level. No one had been able to detect him or break through his firewall.
However, after conducting multiple check-ups, he discovered that many of the files he had kept in a protected drive had been corrupted. The recent files he had painstakingly gathered had disappeared.
Code cursed as he searched for the trace of the encryption that the hacker left on his computer. Every hacker would leave a code as a backdoor. He just needed to find it and trace that person. Once he found him, he would surely make that man live a living hell!
However, after searching for an hour, he couldn’t detect anything. It was as if the backdoor where the hacker ca and left didn’t exist in the first place.
Code sweated. Could there be soone with superior abilities than him? Who could it be? J? Zero?
Code tried to recall the famous hackers in his industry who might have the ability to do this. However, even though those individuals were skilled, he believed he would still be able to find the traces they left.
Code didn’t believe he wouldn’t find it. He quickly encoded another security software and started to look for the encryption.
As he combed through his computer, several attacks on his firewall were detected by his security software. Since the installed security software was new and hadn’t been further strengthened by him, it easily collapsed under the attacks from different hackers.
Code was shocked. What happened? Why there were so many people finding him at once?
A bad premonition rose in Code’s heart. He checked the famous forum where skilled hackers gathered just for a chat.
There he saw the recent post of an anonymous person exposing his IP address and pseudonym.
Code burst in anger. This must be the hacker who first breached his computer! They wanted to destroy his livelihood!
If Code got exposed, no client would be willing to hire him. The other hackers who were attacking his computer must be trying to steal the information in his computer after learning his identity. After all, as a famous hacker, every bit of information in his drive was worth thousands of dollars.
If the information in his drive got exposed, that would be the end of his career and perhaps his life too.
Code had no choice but to take extre asures. He deleted all the files, wiped the computer, and destroyed the drive. Fortunately, he had backups stored securely in another location. He needed to restore the systems and the data on a new computer.
However, this incident had already dealt a significant blow to Code’s career.
