Chapter 90: Chapter 90: Hacking into the System, Incredible Secrets

"Hunt... target? What does that mean?" Yu Qing nearly bit her tongue, her whole body trembling with fear.

Wen Jingya didn’t seem to care.

The Red Alliance was very mysterious, something common people simply couldn’t come into contact with.

She had learned about the legends of the Red Alliance through Fang Yuheng.

Although Fang Yuheng hadn’t been much help with the Mengyin music band, he was an expert in computing, and had privately solved quite a few troublesome issues for her.

All the rumors about the Red Alliance, she had heard from Fang Yuheng.

"The ’hunt’ of the Red Alliance doesn’t mean an actual hunt but infiltrating the target’s computer or any electronic system with hacking techniques, breaking the system, rendering it inoperable, or stealing information."

"A year ago, the Red Alliance pulled off a big one, hacking into New York City’s power grid, causing a citywide blackout for thirty minutes, resulting in over ten billion in economic losses!"

"Wow, that’s amazing!" Tang Xueying couldn’t help exclaiming.

Wen Jingya was excited, as if she were a member of the Red Alliance herself, "Of course, the Red Alliance is completely different from other hacker groups. It’s the only one founded by a Chinese person, specifically targeting those groups that aren’t aligned with our nation."

"Wow! So high-end!" Tang Xueying continued to marvel.

But Yu Qing’s legs went weak, and she couldn’t utter a word.

"Qingqing, you look pale. Are you okay?" Tang Xueying noticed Yu Qing’s abnormal reaction.

Yu Qing put her cup on the desk and suddenly strode over to Wen Jingya.

She grabbed Wen Jingya’s hand, her eyes reddening with pleas, "Yaya, you must help me! I just received a warning from the Red Alliance!"

"What?" Wen Jingya could hardly believe it.

"The Red Alliance is coming after you, just a small fry? They’ve always targeted the likes of the M country’s White House."

"I don’t know either, I just exposed Jiang Man on an anonymous forum with a side account, and then I received the warning from the Red Alliance." Yu Qing bit her lip, almost crying.

As soon as she heard Jiang Man, Wen Jingya’s eyes flashed with loathing.

Her again?

Why is she everywhere?

"It’s probably a fake use of the Red Alliance symbol, just to scare you. The Red Alliance deals with international intelligence, targeting international dignitaries. Why would they go after you?" Wen Jingya said disdainfully.

Tang Xueying immediately agreed, "Exactly, the national team going after you, frankly speaking, you and I are just a drop in the ocean, who would even notice us? Besides, even if Jiang Man has the backing of Young Master Lu, it’s not certain he’d ask the Red Alliance to go after you. There are many ways for Young Master Lu to deal with you, there’s no need to play dirty."

"You’re right." Yu Qing was convinced, her anxious heart finally settling down quite a bit.

But soon she exclaimed in alarm, "You said if Young Master Lu finds out I’m behind this, he’ll deal with me? Like Zhang Yanyan?"

Compared to the distant Red Alliance, Lu Xingzhou seemed more terrifying.

She had specifically used an alternate account, and even posted anonymously, just so that her actions would go undetected.

"Yaya, you must help me! Our dorm is already down one Yanyan, do you want to be missing me too? Everything I’ve done, I’ve done it for you!"

Yu Qing couldn’t help crying, almost kneeling before Wen Jingya.

Wen Jingya frowned, looking quite troubled, "Qingqing, I never asked you to do all this, this is the trouble you brought on yourself."

"Yaya, I’m begging you, you can’t do without me, otherwise at the end of the year..." Yu Qing didn’t say more, hinting at her point.

At the end of year exams, Yu Qing would write Wen Jingya’s name, and Wen Jingya would write Yu Qing’s name.

Wen Jingya’s facade as a study genius was actually fake. Since her freshman year, she had found Yu Qing, and they had been cheating by swapping names during exams.

Of course, Yu Qing benefited as well, receiving 100,000 yuan from Wen Jingya every year.

100,000 yuan might just be the cost of a handbag for a rich girl, but for a girl from an ordinary family, it represented the family’s entire annual or even biannual expenses.

"Alright, alright, stop crying. I didn’t say I wouldn’t help." Wen Jingya said, irritated.

She really couldn’t afford to lose Yu Qing.

If Zhang Yanyan was sacrificed, so be it; she was just a useless pawn anyway.

But Yu Qing was different.

Without Yu Qing, her grades would plummet, and how then would she stand her ground at Lu’s family or at school?

...

At this moment, in the school computer lab.

Jiang Man had accessed Yu Qing’s computer through the recent hack.

In fact, Yu Qing hadn’t managed to shut down her computer successfully; she was misled by Jiang Man, and the computer had merely gone into a temporary sleep mode.

All the information on Yu Qing’s computer was now laid bare before Jiang Man’s eyes without any concealment.

Jiang Man was sitting in a corner, with a wall behind her, which provided a decent level of privacy.

But that couldn’t stop someone like Wu Yingfan who was nearby.

He leaned over and, upon seeing a notepad file, urgently pointed at it, "This, this, look at this one!"

Jiang Man gave him a disdainful glance.

"Won’t you let me see? She’s nothing good anyway," Wu Yingfan pouted, "I won’t go around talking about it."

Only then did Jiang Man divert her glance, calmly clicked with her mouse and opened the notepad file.

It turned out to be the diary of the other party.

Jiang Man wanted to find information about the other party from here.

And sure enough, after flipping a few pages, she found what she was looking for.

"Damn, can you even do that?"

Wu Yingfan saw the explosive content in the diary—it recorded that Wen Jingya paid Yu Qing to help cheat during an exam.

"Interesting," Jiang Man’s eyes shone brightly, and a cold, mocking smile curled the corners of her mouth.

So it wasn’t Wen Jingya who was behind the attack, but Yu Qing.

She quickly searched her memory for this person, and suddenly pieced together scattered recollections.

Outside of Hu’s Hot Pot, on the cruise ship, this Yu Qing was always there.

Unlike Zhang Yanyan’s showy character, Yu Qing was more low-key.

Turns out Yu Qing wasn’t untainted by the mud she came from; she was rather sly!

"Jiang Man, now that things are clear, how do you plan to retaliate?"

Wu Yingfan returned to the matter at hand, his eyes steely, "Exposing their cheating should be enough to get them expelled, right?"

"Expulsion is unlikely, but it’s possible they’ll be too ashamed to show their faces again," Jiang Man snorted lightly, unhurried, "Don’t rush, let them be arrogant for a few more days. If we’re going to retaliate, we need to hit them harder."

Jiang Man appeared to have everything under control.

It wasn’t that she wanted to mess with Yu Qing or Wen Jingya.

It was just that they had done it to themselves—why on earth had they bothered her?

Did she look like an easy target? Was she someone any Tom, Dick, or Harry could mess with?

"Jiang Man!"

Right as Jiang Man was preparing to exit the control program, the on-duty network administrator suddenly approached her.

Hearing that a person of interest from the school forum actually bothered to come online, the students in the computer lab exploded into gossip and chattered away.

The network administrator deliberately stirred up the commotion, looking as though he enjoyed watching the trouble unfold, and knocked on Jiang Man’s desk.

"The principal is looking for you, you’d better hurry to the principal’s office."

The principal was looking for her?

Jiang Man raised her eyebrows and calmly closed the program and shut down the computer.

"Tsk tsk, could it be that she’s going to be expelled from the school just after registering for the new term?"

Students in the front row couldn’t help but murmur.

If that were true, it would be an unprecedented event!
