The hacker watched the red progress bar and his expression changed abruptly.
As soon as the last 0.1% turned red, it would an the Venus Group's firewall had been completely breached.
But just a mont ago, they had implented defensive asures and stopped the attackers' advance.
How could the progress that had been rolled back suddenly surge again?!
This was an unprecedented event.
In the dean's office at Shao Ren Hospital.
"Miss Ying, what is this..." The dean was startled by the sudden alarm, and he leaned in curiously, "Are you about to lose the ga?"
Ying Zijin didn't respond, but kept her eyes on the computer screen where the red progress bar was about to max out, her expression did not waver in the slightest, and she continued calmly typing in code.
At this mont, another hacker discovered that the progress bar had indeed reached 99.9%, but just stopped short of the final 0.1%.
His eyes shifted as he began to race against the clock to continue locating the person attacking the firewall.
Thirty seconds later, Ying Zijin finally finished inputting the second program.
Then, she raised her hand and slowly pressed the Enter key.
"Beep—"
The alarm instantly turned into a sustained tone, which then descended from high to low, finally fading away.
At the sa ti, the red progress bar quickly reversed, not even taking a second to return to 0%.
This ti, the progress bar did not rebound again.
But Ying Zijin's fingers had not left the keyboard, as she continued typing.
She was reinforcing the Venus Group's firewall.
Although the person attacking the firewall had retreated, and couldn't regroup for a short while,
it was still necessary to erase the vulnerability that had been found in the firewall.
Another half an hour passed before Ying Zijin's fingers ceased their tapping, and she said in a faint voice, "We won."
The dean couldn't help but wipe off a bead of sweat and breathe a sigh of relief.
He didn't understand why, but a simple ga of offense and defense had him watching with trepidation, sweating profusely.
He would need to work on strengthening his heart.
**
On the other side of the ocean.
This particular hacker also heaved a long sigh of relief.
He had finally sorted things out.
Although he and Ying Zijin had joined forces to block this attack, they had still been unable to pinpoint the attacker's location.
In the clash, he had judged the opponent's hacking skills to be very strong.
At the very least, on par with his own.
The reason the defense had been so difficult was because, by the ti Qiao Xi had sought him out, the firewall had almost been breached.
If they had engaged from the start, the opponent would not have gained any advantage.
This was a preditated attack.
The hacker rubbed his head and picked up his phone to make a call.
After four rings, the other side answered.
"I say, what are you doing?" The hacker was very dissatisfied, "Your company was nearly breached, and you act as if nothing happened?"
"Hmm?" Fu Yunshen's voice was lazy and amused, "Isn't that why I have you?"
"Damn it, what do you an you have ?" The hacker exploded with anger, "So I'm what, working for you now? Let tell you, even with it wasn't enough this ti."
He snorted coldly, "And who have you managed to offend this ti? The opponent's computing skills are very high. It was only by bringing in your little friend to help that we stopped them."
Hearing this, the smile on Fu Yunshen's lips tightened slightly.
He beca more serious, "Next ti there's sothing like this, co to directly."
"What?" The hacker tore open a cup of instant noodles and grabbed a cola, "I thought you were done with computers. You coming back to action?"
"Yes, I'll take care of it personally," Fu Yunshen paused, seemingly with a light chuckle, "I can't have her getting tired, can I?"
"Pfft... *cough cough cough!*" The hacker choked on his cola, and after recovering, he burst out angrily, "Be human, will you? Why is it okay for to get tired?"
On the phone, the man's voice was lazy but amused, "Qin Lingyan."
The hacker was startled, almost throwing the cup of instant noodles in his hand, "Why the hell are you using my full na?"
Every ti he was called by his full na, it brought back unpleasant mories.
Whenever he did sothing wrong in the past, his mother would call him by his full na and then a beating would follow.
So many years had passed, but the shadow in his heart was still not small.
That was why he had nad the Hacker Alliance "Anonymous."
The hackers in the Anonymous Hackers Alliance always referred to each other by code nas.
Unless soone voluntarily revealed their real na, the outside world would not know it.
Moreover, the most important part was, Qin Lingyan didn't like his na at all!
Too silly and effeminate.
Who would na a grown man with this na?
Lingyan.
He always felt that his mom must have gotten high on food at soone's wedding-funeral and ended up giving him such a na.
Fu Yunshen's peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly as he hooked his lips, "Qin Lingyan, I suggest you better buy a voice changer."
Qin Lingyan took a bite of his instant noodles, puzzled, "What?"
"Your voice really sounds like a little boy." Fu Yunshen said idly, "If I hadn't video chatted with you, I wouldn't believe you're already in your twenties."
He paused for a mont then lazily added, "I've t a nine-year-old boy from the Imperial Capital's Mu Family, his voice is pretty much the sa as yours."
"If you don't get a voice changer, be careful or you might get kidnapped."
Qin Lingyan: "..."
Fuck.
Are these two freaks playing with him?
"Alright, who else can I talk to besides you guys?" Qin Lingyan snorted coldly, "You better hurry up and think about who you've offended."
At the sa ti, he was also perplexed.
His computer skills were definitely among the top in the world.
But in recent years, there haven't been any rising Hacker Alliances or individual hackers.
Internationally, there's an annual Black Hat security conference where many hackers gather.
Qin Lingyan had attended too, except no one knew he was the boss of the Anonymous Hackers Alliance.
He hadn't noticed any hackers worth paying attention to.
It was oddly strange.
But Qin Lingyan couldn't be bothered to think about it, after all, it wasn't him being attacked. He'd just leave it to that venom-tongued man to worry about.
He picked up his instant noodles and happily started eating.

Over at Shao Ren Hospital.
Ying Zijin sat in front of the computer, her gaze pensive.
She rembered that in June, when she went to Norton University, she discovered that the vice-chancellor's phone had been attacked by an outsider.
That person's hacking skills were indeed superb, probably no less than Qin Lingyan's, maybe even better.
She noticed in ti and blocked the attack for the vice-chancellor.
Ying Zijin knew that with today's rapid technological developnts, hiding one's identity was much harder than in the tis of Ancient O Continent.
So before she left Norton University, she strengthened the university's firewall.
The attacks on Norton University and Venus Group, if not by the sa person, definitely originated from the sa place.
Ironically, both Norton University and Venus Group are very important scientific research bases in the world.
Ying Zijin gave it so thought, rubbed her head, then looked up at the director, "Let us continue with business."
"Ah? Oh, yes." The director took out a file, "Miss Ying, this case is very strange. We were all at a loss when the patient submitted it."
"You said to tell you if there are any difficult diseases, so I brought it here."
"Mhm." Ying Zijin flipped through the file and nodded slightly, "Indeed, it's quite interesting. Where's the patient?"
She chose patients based on fate, but also genuinely enjoyed challenging cases.
It made the treatnt more thrilling.
"The patient is an international businessman, still abroad." The director said, "I've already been in contact with them. If you agree to take a look, they'll co over in three days."
"Three days later won't work," Ying Zijin glanced at the calendar, "The school has an event; push it back two days."
"Sure." The director quickly agreed, "I'll let them know right away."
Ying Zijin nodded, picked up her coat, and left.

Evening, at the Ying Family's old residence.
Half a year passed since the incident; Old Madam Ying had no choice but to accept the reality that Ying Luwei had committed a cri and was locked up in maximum security prison.
Fortunately, after she was discharged from the hospital, Ying Yuexuan often kept her company, which provided so consolation.
Yuexuan had been sensible since childhood and knew well how to take care of the elderly.
"Wanwan, let grandma have a good look at you." Old Madam Ying held Ying Yuexuan's shoulders, "Just one year in O Continent has made you so much prettier."
Ying Yuexuan felt a little embarrassed, "Grandma, what are you talking about?"
"What grandma says is true." Old Madam Ying nodded with satisfaction, "Next year, you'll be turning 18, and grandma has to find you a suitable family."
Hearing this, Ying Yuexuan was startled.
Before she could say anything, Old Madam Ying continued, "Marriage is a significant matter, but there's no rush. Today, grandma is going to introduce you to an esteed guest."
She knew Ying Yuexuan had a gift for computers, having created a program that won an award in an international youth group.
This pleased her greatly.
As for Ying Zijin?
Did she have anything noteworthy to show in the field of computers?
