Chapter 31: Chapter 31 Snickered

Fu Yanhe Corporation.

By then, the sky had completely darkened.

After a tiring day, the programmer Xiao Chen had just taken a KFC meal from the delivery guy and was about to enjoy a chicken drumstick as a reward for his hard work.

He had just taken a sip of Coke and hadn’t bitten into the drumstick yet when he suddenly heard a sharp "beep beep" from his computer, and a mechanical voice abruptly rang out.

[Alert, alert! Firewall 000 is under attack by an unknown signal!]

[Alert, alert! Firewall 001 is under attack by an unknown signal!]

[Alert, alert! Firewall 002 is under attack by an unknown signal!]

[Unknown signal infiltration progress 30%, firewall decryption degree 5%!]

"Pfft!" Xiao Chen violently spat out his sip of Coke. Without even wiping it off, he scrambled to his computer, watching the warnings flashing on the screen.

[Intrusion progress 35%!]

The same blue letters were popping up not just on Xiao Chen’s computer, but on all the computers managing the backend data for Fu Yanhe Corporation.

The worst part was, it was evening, the time when the programmers of Fu Yanhe Corporation usually took their breaks and went out to grab dinner!

In the entire office besides him, there was only one other person, lying in a corner with a black coat over his head.

"This is impossible, the firewalls in the corporation’s program were personally set up by the BOSS. Shifei always said, even if the top-ranked HM guru from TNC came, they wouldn’t be easily breached."

"Just who could this unknown signal belong to?"

Xiao Chen frantically typed on his keyboard, his heart pounding as he watched the continuous flickering of data. His attempts to stop and defend were like paper mache against the unknown signal — they crumbled at the slightest touch.

As the data jumped to 59%, Xiao Chen couldn’t hold on any longer. In panic, he shouted toward the man lying in the corner with a black coat over his head, "Shifei, wake up! Something terrible has happened! Something terrible!!"

The man lying in the corner stirred at Xiao Chen’s shouts. A rugged, powerful hand with long fingers pulled down the black coat from his head, revealing an exceptionally handsome face.

At that moment, his handsome face showed a slight frown, his clothes were a bit disheveled from sleep, his slightly long black hair was a bit messy over his brows, his eyes had a faint shade of dark green, his eyes were narrow, and his pupils were a light brown. He looked coolly at Xiao Chen, "You’d better have a good reason."

Xiao Chen grimaced, "Shifei, a master hacker is infiltrating and destroying the firewalls set up by the BOSS. I can’t hold them off!"

"Damn it! The progress has already reached 79%!"

Shifei’s brow furrowed, he stood up from his long and tall frame and strode to Xiao Chen’s side, nudging Xiao Chen aside, his fingers like sculpted jade flew across the keyboard.

[Attempting to intercept unknown signal...]

[Interception failed!]

[Intrusion progress 90%! Firewall decryption degree 10%!]

Shifei’s gaze darkened as the speed of his typing increased, with more pop-ups emerging on the screen.

[Interception failed!]

[Intrusion progress 91%!]

[Interception failed!]

...

Xiao Chen watched as the popup deepened bit by bit, the intrusion progress increasing with each failed interception, his heart leaping into his throat.

We’re done for.

Even Shifei couldn’t stop them.

It seemed they had encountered a tough one today.

Shaking, Xiao Chen pulled out his phone, looked at Shifei whose frown was getting tighter, and asked, "Shi, Shifei, should we notify the BOSS?"

"Notify him." Shifei’s eyes were deep; his hands didn’t stop moving, and his clear voice was very calm. The words he uttered, however, nearly made Xiao Chen drop his phone.

"I suspect the person infiltrating Fu’s this time is HM. I can’t stop her alone."

Xiao Chen: "!!!!"

Damn it!!

HM, the big shot?!

What did she take to suddenly invade Fu Yanhe Corporation?!

Without another word, Xiao Chen immediately made the call, and without waiting for the person on the other line to speak, he cried out, "BOSS, we need help! It’s an emergency!!"

-

Inside the Fu Estate.

In a dark room, Shen Yanhe huddled in a computer chair, watching a progress bar on the screen.

The progress bar had now reached 98%.

Only 2% more to go, and she would be able to breach the Fu Corporation’s firewall to access the top-level database.

It had to be said, the Fus were truly a first-rate powerhouse in Haicheng, with a top-notch firewall that had given her quite a bit of trouble during the intrusion.

In the end, she could only resort to the method that person used, a brute-force attack.

Intruding and destroying the firewall at the same time.

Tsk.

Yanhe’s gaze fell on the firewall’s damage progress, she picked up the glass of water from the desk, took a sip, her expression nonchalant.

At worst, once she got what she wanted, she would help them patch up and upgrade their firewall.

Just as Yanhe finished her water, the progress bar on the computer suddenly flashed, emitting a "beep beep beep" sound.

A few blood-red characters popped up.

[Alert! Intrusion intercepted!]

Yanhe paused.

More characters appeared on the screen.

[Computer being invaded by an unknown signal...]

A flicker of mischief crossed Yanhe’s eyes as she quipped, "We have a master here, now this is interesting."

She put the glass down on the desk, and her delicate fingers began to tap rapidly on the keyboard, moving so fast they blurred.

-

Elsewhere.

Fu Yanhe sat in front of a large floor-to-ceiling window, a silver-gray laptop resting on his knees, his slender fingers dancing over the keyboard.

Behind him, Wu Fang was also typing on a black laptop and said in a solemn voice, "Young Master, this crude method of invasion definitely has HM’s style."

It’s just uncertain why HM would suddenly intrude into the Fu Corporation.

If the Fu Corporation had provoked her somehow, it’d be one thing, but they had never made contact with HM before, let alone with her usually eccentric style of doing things.

She shouldn’t deign to intrude into a minor company like this.

Yet, here it was happening.

Where had the error occurred?

Fu Yanhe didn’t speak, squinting his eyes at the computer screen.

The screen suddenly flashed with a sequence of jumbled letters, and immediately after, it went black with a snap.

Only blue letters flickered on the screen, moving neither too fast nor too slow, as if deliberately provoking someone on the other end.

A chill flashed through Fu Yanhe’s dark eyes as he watched the letters slowly arrange themselves into a particularly provocative phrase.

[Loser, is this all you’ve got?]

Wu Fang had started to raise his head to say something, but upon seeing the provocatively worded message, he instantly fell silent, inwardly admiring the boldness of the unseen HM boss.

Damn courageous, daring to challenge their young master.

Fu Yanhe’s aura grew heavy, his gaze lingering on that phrase on the screen, his tongue clicking against his back teeth, unable to suppress a chuckle, his finger pressure on the keys increased as he began to counterattack.

The data on both computers leaped simultaneously, and the progress on both sides froze at 99.99% without moving.

After a few seconds of stalemate, the opposing flood of blue code receded like the tide, and the screen of the laptop on Fu Yanhe’s knees suddenly flashed.

In the previously quiet room, a loud voice suddenly rang out.

"How can you sleep at this age? How can you sleep at this stage of life?"

"At your age, at this phase, can you really sleep?"

Fu Yanhe silently watched the meme of a middle-aged man wearing glasses appear on the screen, along with the incessant and uncloseable voice, and he gave a wry laugh.
