Chapter 524: Chapter 356: It’s Your Close One_1
The elevator reached the minus third floor research and development center, doors opening.
The security here was tight, equipped with high-tech preventive systems. Only after numerous checks were Mo Shiting and Lu Yang permitted to enter the core laboratory.
What met their eyes was a row of top-notch electronic equipment.
Due to a hacker attack, the screens were currently filled with gibberish, displaying only one line of text, “Meet me at Capital’s First Pier in three days or never.”
“BOSS.”
The R&D staff, currently at their wit’s end, immediately stood up and greeted Mo Shiting as they laid eyes on him.
Mo Shiting nodded slightly and walked over to one of the computers, his hands swiftly operating on the keyboard.
In a short while, the chaos on the screen had disappeared, replaced by a reboot prompt.
He pressed confirm, and his tightly knitted brows slightly relaxed.
Seeing this, Lu Yang couldn’t help but admire, “Indeed, young master is formidable, easily resolving this crisis.”
Mo Shiting responded with a cold smile, “Don’t celebrate too soon.”
“Ah? But isn’t it already OK?”
While Lu Yang wasn’t proficient in computers, he was clearer than anyone about his young master’s computer skills, which were on par with, if not superior to, the top hackers on the leaderboard.
Therefore, even if Rock, who was ranked third, made a move, it would be no trouble for him.
Hearing this, the others couldn’t help but look at Mo Shiting, their faces filled with confusion.
Those who could get into the R&D center were all top technical talents in the world, each one of them with high computer proficiency. But here they were, having worked half the day without getting the program to reboot. That alone made them believe that their boss was especially remarkable.
They’d thought that rebooting equaled solving the problem, but who knew, their BOSS was saying otherwise? Were they at their wit’s end?
Mo Shiting ignored their questions, his slender fingers continuing to tap rapidly on the keyboard, looking focused.
The others simply leaned over, gathered around him and watched his operations.
About a minute later, the computer screen lit up, a message box popped up: [Impressive, you actually found me.]
Mo Shiting frowned slightly, typing back: [Who wants to meet me?]
Rock: [No comment.]
Mo Shiting: [Are you sure you won’t say?]
Rock: [Ha, what? Want to threaten me?]
Mo Shiting didn’t reply, quickly pressed a few keys. Then, he saw the other party cursing, [SHIT! Did you just plant a virus in my computer?]
Mo Shiting calmly replied: [You have ten seconds to think.]
[SHIT!]
Rock scratched his head in irritation, full of regret.
If he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have taken this case. Not only did he fail in his mission, but he was also cornered into revealing his client. If he did, could he still stay in this field?
If he didn’t, he wouldn’t have to stay, anyway.
[Five seconds left.]
[Wait, I’ll tell.]
Left with no options, Rock had to betray his principles and provide the information he had: [I don’t know who it is, but I can confirm it’s someone close to you.]
Someone close?
Who could it be?
Mo Shiting’s complexion changed slightly, he felt a strange sense of unease.
Seeing his slow response, Rock couldn’t resist sending another message: [Hey, I’ve told you everything I know, hurry up and get rid of the virus.]
Mo Shiting coolly replied: [We’ll talk in three days.]
Rock: [Damn!]
…
The sudden crisis was finally resolved, Mo Shiting glanced at his watch, realizing that there was still time, he should be able to make it home to have dinner with his Tang Tang.
Just as Mo Shiting was thinking of this, the cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
He took it out to see, it was a call from Gu Yuan, his eyes deepened mysteriously.
Stepping out of the R&D center, he found a uninhabited corner, only then did he press the answer key.
