Hidden identities of the AI Heiress
Chapter 847 - Chapter 847 Chapter 847 This Day is Simply His Nightmare

Chapter 847: Chapter 847 This Day is Simply His Nightmare Chapter 847: Chapter 847 This Day is Simply His Nightmare The fierce assault had alarmed the highest-ranking official at the Huo Research Institute.

He rushed to the security department, and with a grave expression, grabbed a technician and asked urgently, “What exactly happened? Why would we be attacked out of the blue? And are you all useless? The enemy has breached our entire defense in less than ten minutes. At this rate, all the data in our database will be destroyed!”

Even the slightest destruction of the information in the database would be a fatal blow to the Huo Research Institute.

The technician, in sheer panic, replied, “We are fighting back with all our might, but the virus from the attacker is too formidable. I’ve never seen such an aggressive virus; with our current technology, we simply can’t fend off their attack.”

“What?” The responsible officer couldn’t believe it. There were plenty of experts under Huo’s command, some internationally renowned hackers; and they couldn’t withstand the attack?

Who exactly was this person, and why had they targeted the Huo Family?

With furrowed brows, the head of operations asked, “What about the source of the virus?”

The technician’s eyes flickered, uncertain whether to tell the truth, but finally, under the menacing gaze of the officer, he admitted the truth.

“It was the Second Young Master. He sent us a file, claimed it was the core document of the AI system. We didn’t expect the virus to be hidden inside the file. As soon as we received the file, we… we also let the virus in.”

The officer was completely flustered.

The person causing the total collapse of the Huo Research Institute was none other than Huo Chi!

He had heard bits and pieces that Huo Chi, as a representative of the Huo Family, had gone to collaborate with the Tianqi Research Institute on the joint development of the AI system, and now, the core files he had brought back contained a virus.

Wasn’t this proof that the core files came from dubious sources and might have been stolen by Huo Chi from them?

The officer took a sharp breath, feeling like he was going insane.

Were the items of the Tianqi Research Institute so easy to take?

Suicidal!

Leave aside the fact that Professor Qiao was in charge; even the investor behind Tianqi, MR.Q, was not someone they could afford to provoke, and now they were under attack.

Seeing how upset the officer was looking, the technician tentatively inquired, “Director, do you know who it is?”

The officer replied, “It’s obvious without guessing–whoever dares to take others’ property, they naturally seek retaliation!”

The officer felt quite wronged; he knew nothing of the schemes Huo Chi was playing, yet the one suffering was him.

He had no desire to take the blame, and decisively pulled out his phone to contact Huo Lin.

Whoever dug the hole would have to fill it.

…

Qiao Yun’s eyelids drooped, her entire demeanor relaxed and languid, her fingers tapping on the keyboard, mercilessly blocking all the attacks from the Huo side and, taking the opportunity, strolled through their database, casually altering their defense system.

The researchers from the Huo side, watching their security doors open and close as if toying with them, wore expressions of utter despair.

Was the mysterious person attacking the Huo Family just a little brat?

Qiao Yun, however, was very conscientious; she destroyed only a few non-critical pieces of data before withdrawing her hand, but even that was enough to cause a headache for the other side for a while.

Such a profound lesson would likely be remembered for a lifetime.

“Teacher, are you just going to let them go like this?”

Han Wang had been watching Qiao Yun’s actions all along, his eyes unable to hide his excitement, enthusiasm, and admiration. This counterattack was simply too exquisite.

Sometimes Han Wang wondered, others rack their brains and take years to develop, yet whenever Professor Qiao got involved, everything went smoothly without ever encountering problems.

Where on earth did she acquire such knowledge and technology that surpasses the era?

Upon closer consideration, there simply wasn’t anyone around who could teach Professor Qiao a lesson.

Was this an innate talent she was born with?

Without even lifting an eyelid, Qiao Yun’s voice was indifferent, “This is sufficient.”

Han Wang thought about it too, the Huo Corporation was probably in chaos.

“They should be able to guess it was you who did it, they might not let it go, and could cause trouble.”

Qiao Yun said unconcernedly, “He’s in the wrong and doesn’t dare.”

After all, it was Huo Chi who made the first move, and it amounted to theft.

For a thief to be taught a lesson was only to be expected.

Moreover, with the reputation of Tianqi standing behind her, he could only swallow this loss, and whether he would die of anger was not her concern.

Just as Qiao Yun had anticipated, Huo Chi indeed had grievances he couldn’t voice.

When Han Luo mentioned that there was an issue with the data, he knew that their little maneuver had been discovered by Tianqi long ago. The other party maliciously let him think the plan was successful, only to deal him a fatal blow at the last moment.

Huo Chi, with bulging eyes and veins popping on his forehead, hysterically exclaimed, “What a MR.Q, what a Tianqi! Daring to play the Young Master like that!”

Han Luo stared at the laptop screen, pale-faced, at the line of text dripping with sarcasm, unable to come to his senses for a long time.

He had considered the possibility of being discovered by anyone, but he had never imagined that person would be the infamous MR.Q!

It was terrifying.

This day was nothing short of a nightmare for him, so much so that he couldn’t even bother with the furious Huo Chi.

“You impostor, I trusted you too much, and now that you’ve messed up, don’t think you’ll get away with it!” Huo Chi couldn’t help but displace his frustration over the failure onto Han Luo.

The situation had escalated to a point where Tianqi and the Huo Corporation had become sworn enemies. From now on, not to mention cooperation, they would probably oppose them at every turn.

The mere thought of this possibility made Huo Chi’s scalp tingle; he wasn’t afraid of Tianqi but feared this incident could get him kicked out of the Huo Family.

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, and he quickly tried to contact his father. Before he could make the call, his phone rang first.

Huo Chi’s heart skipped a beat, he swallowed hard, and answered the phone with trepidation, “Dad, why are you calling me?”

“You worthless scum, if I knew you were this useless, I would have sent your brother from the start. I must have been blind to think you could handle this…”

As the tirade of abuse poured in, Huo Chi’s expression grew more and more impatient, but he didn’t dare to retort and could only take the scolding like a whipped dog.

It seemed the other party had finished venting and took a deep breath before speaking, “Now the situation has blown up, the research institute has been hit by a virus and is in complete disarray.”

Huo Chi was shocked. He hadn’t expected Tianqi to target the Huo Research Institute.

He felt wronged – who could have predicted Tianqi would be so sly, to pull off a trap like inviting him into the urn?

Huo Chi’s eyes shifted, and he said with self-righteous indignation, “I am a victim too. The plan wasn’t my idea; it was Han Luo who urged me on.”

There was a long silence on the other side, and it was unclear whether the father believed him or not, but at last, he said, “We’ll discuss this when you get back.”

With that, he seemed to have grown tired of talking and hung up the phone straight away.

Huo Chi rubbed his hair in irritation, thinking about how to threaten or entice Han Luo to take responsibility willingly, when his phone rang again.

As soon as he saw the caller ID, his face turned white, his hand shook, and the phone he was holding dropped to the floor unexpectedly.

The phone still vibrated continuously on the ground, displaying the caller: Huo Lin.
