NOVEL NEXT Chapter 171 Y
"I don't know the exact identity of that person,"
Fang Cunshan shook his head, "But what I do know is that the other party must be a computer expert, even, perhaps, a top-level hacker."
"A top-level hacker?"
"Yes."
Fang Cunshan nodded, "You must understand, we had the isolator on that day, but the fact that it was broadcast live means that our isolator was rendered useless."
"But others could not contact us, which means that only our phones were truly being blocked."
"I felt something was wrong that day, but at the time the news was too shocking. Only these past few days, after trying in vain to completely delete those messages, did I begin to think there must be a top-level hacker behind this."
As Fang Cunshan uttered these words, Yang Xing, Mei Yu, and He Guang also came to this realization.
"So what do we do next?"
If the other party really had a top-level hacker, all their current tactics were useless.
After all, even if they spent money to have someone delete the information, the hacker could still recover it later using some method.
"Only a top-level hacker can deal with a top-level hacker."
"I know of a top-level hacker in Ma Country, codenamed Y. I plan to ask him for help."
"It costs two hundred million for him to make a move, and we all need to pitch in for that amount."
"Alright!"
"No problem!"
"As long as it's just to delete the information on the net, fifty million each is not a big issue."
The losses they incurred in transactions over the past few days alone, plus the evaporation in the stock market, were already in the tens of billions.
In light of this, parting with the mere fifty million was something they were more than willing to do.
So, without a second word, the three family heads promptly contributed the fifty million.
...
At Xia Qing Group, in Xia Qingxin's office,
Wang Ye and the others were all gathered here.
Su Wanqing was also present, but Fang Feifei had not come.
Ever since yesterday's incident, Fang Feifei knew that Wang Ye and her grandfather had developed a big feud, and that any hope of reconciling them was now impossible.
In such a situation, the usually clever Fang Feifei didn't know what to do, so she had stayed hidden at home and had not shown herself up to now.
Xia Qingxin's desk had now become Li Ying's exclusive spot. With barely a movement of her hand, Li Ying easily recovered the information that others had deleted.
Xia Qingxin spoke from beside her,
"Originally, this whole situation required only a bit of 'blood' from the heads of the four major families, but I hadn't expected Sister Li Ying to be so formidable, putting the four families in a tough spot, to the point where even the local residents of Yun City detest what the four families produce."
Wang Ye added from the side, "Yeah, this time, it's like we've broken an arm of the four major families. Even if they find a way to recover, the damage is significant."
Su Wanqing, listening to the conversation between Xia Qingxin and Wang Ye, remained silent, her gaze fixed on Wang Ye.
After these last few days, Su Wanqing increasingly felt that Wang Ye could truly deal with the four major families of Yun City, replacing them!
"That's right."
Li Ying felt proud upon hearing the words of praise from Xia Qingxin and Wang Ye, "I am a top professor from Tsinghua University in the world of black... cyber technology, and to me, these problems are just a piece of cake."
After speaking, Li Ying let out a deep sigh of relief.
She had just been too confident and almost revealed her own identity.
Just then,
A red exclamation mark appeared on Li Ying's computer.
Upon seeing the red exclamation mark, Li Ying's expression became serious, and she said to Xia Qingxin and Wang Ye, "Big Sister, Little Brother, stop talking for a moment. Someone is trying to locate my network position to bring me down." Li Ying was earnest. To prevent anyone from finding her location, she had set up numerous barriers, yet the enemy was now attempting to break through them all.
Upon hearing Li Ying's words, Xia Qingxin and Wang Ye fell silent.
...
At Yun City Business Association's meeting room,
Fang Cunshan, upon receiving the message from Y, smiled and said to He Guang, Mei Yu, and Yang Xing, "The top-level assassin is indeed worthy of the name. Y just messaged that he will soon find the opponent's network location. Once we've got that, everything else will be easy to handle."
"That's good to hear."
"Had we known they had a top-level hacker, we should have called in this top-level assassin sooner, instead of suffering such heavy losses these past few days."
"First, we'll lock down all the negative news about us on the network, then we'll release a new video claiming that the live broadcast was tampered with and that Wang Ye was trying to undermine our standing."
"Yes, with a top-level hacker on our side, it should be easy to do."
The family heads looked at each other and smiled as they discussed their plans.
...
Li Ying's fingers drummed swiftly on the keyboard.
Wang Ye and Xia Qingxin stood behind her, watching her type.
Wang Ye, observing the letters on Li Ying's computer screen, recognized each one but felt lost when they came together.
Gradually, the serious expression on Li Ying's face eased.
Wang Ye and Xia Qingxin both knew that Li Ying was about to handle the opposing top-level hacker.
Wang Ye pondered,
Should he also learn from Li Ying?
Li Ying's hacking skills had proved incredibly useful, making Wang Ye realize that mastering this skill would bring significant benefits in the future.
"Done!"
Li Ying's tone was cheerful.
