Chapter 32: Enlist or Hunt Her Down
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The words on the screen were a blatant threat: [I have received the reward. Don’t try to track me. Otherwise, I will blow up Lu Group’s entire security network.]
The culprit then proceeded to disappear without a trace.
The entire IT department fell into an eerie silence.
After some time, the IT head swallowed and asked, “Mr Lu, what should we do?”
A stern look flashed in Lu Jingye’s eyes. “Fortify our security. Form a task force to find her. If you can find her, then enlist her. Otherwise, hunt her down online.”
…
Many people were destined to lose their sleep tonight.
After Zi Yi cracked Lu Group’s second firewall, she washed up and went to bed.
Zi Yi only woke up again at 10:00 am the next morning.
However, Zi Xu and Li Peirong were surprisingly not in the hotel. Only Zi Lian sat in the living room and looked preoccupied.
The moment Zi Lian saw Zi Yi, she hurriedly asked, “Did Young Master He call you last night?
He Fei had left the He residence with them but since Zi Xu was annoyed by what happened last night, he turned down He Fei’s offer to send them back to the hotel.
Zi Yi looked at Zi Lian coldly. Just as Zi Lian started to feel nervous, Zi Yi finally replied, “Nope.”
Zi Lian was somewhat disappointed before she said, “Uncle Xu and Aunt Peirong are out meeting clients today. They told you not to leave the hotel.”
“Uh huh,” Zi Yi said in acknowledgment. She used the hotel phone to order some food and played with her phone on the couch.
It was a slightly more exciting day in the capital. The authorities had arrested Madam He and her family to investigate them.
Ever since she cracked Lu Group’s second firewall last night, the hacking circle remained amazed.
Everyone was trying to find her. A lot of people placed bets on who would succeed in finding her first. They simply wanted to swap some pointers with her when she emerged.
Zi Yi logged off the hackers’ forum and checked whether her winnings were in. She realized they were sent to her bank account yesterday.
She transferred Zi Lian $7 million. “I have sent you the money.”
Zi Lian hurriedly checked her account balance on her phone to see an extra $1 million, just like Zi Yi had promised. Her eyes were filled with joy. However, at the thought of Zi Yi’s ma.s.sive winnings, she could not help feeling jealous.
“How much did you win?”
Zi Yi looked at her and gradually said, “Want to guess?”
She lowered her head and continued playing with her phone.
Zi Lian looked at Zi Yi and felt annoyed. She ended up sneering in her heart that it was just a fluke. There was nothing for her to be c.o.c.ky about!
If she told her uncle about Zi Yi’s winnings, he was bound to take all her money away!
Zi Xu and Li Peirong came home after 4:00 pm.
The moment Zi Xu came in, he told them, “We are going home tomorrow.”
Zi Xu did not look happy. He felt as though not a single good thing had happened ever since they came to the capital.
He was especially upset about not marrying Zi Yi into the He family, so he was particularly angry when he saw her.
Sure enough, all she did was make trouble!
“After we go back, you have to study hard for your exams. If you do well, you can go to university. Or else, you will work at my company.”
Zi Yi looked at Zi Xu quizzically. “Didn’t you take me out of school?”
Zi Xu looked even angrier when he heard this. He had told his a.s.sistant to take her out of school, but it did not mean that she was not going to be taking the university entrance exam.
He was genuinely disappointed with her, but he would definitely pay to send her to an average university.
The moment Zi Yi asked this, anger rose in his heart. He gritted his teeth and threatened her, “If you don’t want to study, then you can immediately go and work at the company.”
