Chapter 448: I’m Too Lazy to Play With Them
Now that the situation had evolved to this stage, everyone understood that the group that hacked the BESE was using the online conversation as a decoy. They had done that only to ensure that they could hack into BESE’s system and steal digital currency today.
After 30 seconds, the BESE lost 1.1 billion yuan in value!
Lu San glanced at Gu Mang who was typing strings of codes and said in a tense voice, “Ms. Gu, we really have no time to spare anymore.”
He was implying that Gu Mang should stop trying and hand the laptop over to Lu Chengzhou. Qin Fang did not really dare to provoke Gu Mang. However, there was no more time to waste.
Looking troubled, he advised, “Sister-in-law, I think you should just hand the laptop back to Brother Cheng.”
Gu Mang remained silent as she continued to type on the keyboard. The atmosphere in the medical room was tense. Qin Fang, Lu San, and the others were like cats on a hot tin roof. Their eyes widened as they stared at Gu Mang.
Two minutes pa.s.sed.
Qin Fang looked at Lu Chengzhou. “Brother Cheng…”
Lu Chengzhou ignored him.
Qin Fang was pacing back and forth anxiously. At last, he walked out of the medical room and gave He Yidu a call. “Have you caught the culprit?”
He Yidu’s deep voice could be heard over the phone. “It’s difficult to search for the culprit because this is not our territory. Give me some time.”
Standing by the door, he looked at Gu Mang who was still working on the laptop. Anxious, he pressed on his temples and said in a low voice, “We are really going to suffer huge losses! The monetary loss is fine, but our reputation is going to take a huge hit because we got caught on the backfoot!”
The world’s top trading firm had been hacked and suffered more than one billion yuan in losses! Who would trust the BESE and trade with them in the future?
He Yidu asked, “Does the technical team have any solutions?”
“No.” Qin Fang was angered by the mention of the technical team. He continued speaking. “Gu Mang is on the laptop right now and Brother Cheng is watching her.”
He Yidu was left speechless. After Qin Fang ended the call, he saw Lu San and Missing Gateway standing beside Gu Mang.
Lu San said, “Ms. Gu, your brute-force attack is not going to work. It will just mess up BESE’s system even more.”
Missing Gateway remained silent, but it was obvious that he agreed with Lu San. Extremely worn out, Qin Fang looked at Lu Chengzhou who was letting Gu Mang do whatever she wanted. Another minute pa.s.sed. Losses now stood at 1.5 billion yuan.
“Ms. Gu…”
Lu San had just started speaking when Gu Mang glanced at him. Just from the corner of her eyes, her gaze looked perverse and cold. Instantly, Lu Yī felt chills run down his spine, freezing him in the spot.
Lu Chengzhou looked over with a sharp gaze. He was exuding a scary aura from head to toe as well.
The man narrowed his eyes and said slowly, “Shut up.”
Fearful, Missing Gateway and Lu San looked down and remained silent. Gu Mang’s gaze s.h.i.+fted back to the laptop and she continued to type on the keyboard. The online conversation was indeed amusing. She was able to decipher it, but they did not have much time. Furthermore, she had set up Xingmu’s security defense system personally. She did not even have the confidence to hack Xingmu’s system, let alone others.
Since Xingmu was relatively unaffected, she did not take the online conversation seriously. However, they had indeed caught her off guard by attacking the BESE.
The BESE belonged to Lu Chengzhou. Gu Mang’s gaze was serious and dark.
As Qin Fang and the others watched the losses soar, their expressions became more and more terrified. Lu San and Missing Gateway had their mouths agape, but none of them could say anything.
And they were relatively lucky. They happened to have two big bosses who could direct action to a.s.suage losses.
…
In a bas.e.m.e.nt in Country K.
A group of people surrounded a laptop. Their eyes twinkled with joy as they watched the money in their bank account grow.
The person operating the laptop snorted. “This operation will go down in hacking history. We managed to hack the BESE!”
