Chapter 612: Chapter 612: Are You Misunderstanding Your Own Strength?

The meeting room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

All those people looked at Lu Mian, anxious and intimidated by the aggressive aura she exuded.

After a moment, Lu Mian’s clear gaze moved away from the large screen, she kicked a chair aside and sat down, casually crossing one of her long, straight legs over the other.

Her right hand tapped on the table, while her left twirled a pen, looking utterly collected as she said nothing more.

Lu Mian appeared calm and unhurried, but everyone else was desperate, mustering their courage to carefully broach the subject.

“Miss Lu, shouldn’t we act quickly to address this?”

“I’ve heard Miss Lu has some expertise in this area, what should we do now?”

Dong Li seemed quite protective of Lu Mian, seeing her annoyed and aloof demeanor, he quickly said, “Miss Lu is not omnipotent, we can’t put everything on her shoulders!

Didn’t Group Leader Yuelu bring in an expert, where is that expert?”

“Right, wasn’t that expert supposed to be maintaining the network?”

Everyone by unspoken consensus turned their eyes to Xin Yuelu and Xiao Qimo.

Xiao Qimo, seeing Lu Mian’s displeasure, could understand her mood.

The cyber attack had hit hard on the day of an important meeting she held; how could she not be furious?

Xiao Qimo, across the conference table, gently squeezed the girl’s hand.

His gaze swept across the room and everyone immediately fell silent.

A little later, Xin Yuelu and Sun Kai rushed into the meeting room with faces pale with shock.

Xin Yuelu, who hadn’t attended the meeting, had lost all her prior arrogance and dignity, pulling Sun Kai to Xiao Qimo and urgently said,

“Mr.

Xiao, the farm’s network has been hacked…”

“I’m not blind,” Xiao Qimo shot her a cold glance, “Isn’t this Group Leader Xin’s masterpiece?”

“Mr.

Xiao!”

Xiao Qimo’s statement was heavy, and Xin Yuelu could hardly bear it.

She pounded her chest in desperation, defending herself, “I didn’t do it, I definitely didn’t do anything to harm the farm!

I only wanted my classmate to catch the person behind this…”

“Is that so?” Lu Mian, who had been silent until then, suddenly scoffed.

She kept twirling her pen as her eyelids lazily flicked open, her gaze landing on Xin Yuelu and Sun Kai, “If it wasn’t for the two of you opening up the farm’s firewall, how could the intruder have broken in?”

Hearing this, everyone became highly cautious of Xin Yuelu.

“Group Leader Yuelu, have you really betrayed the farm?”

“The lab is the result of everyone’s hard work, even if you have grievances, you can’t just sabotage it!

We all trusted you so much!”

“I didn’t…

I really didn’t, are you trying to make me prove my innocence with my death?!” Xin Yuelu couldn’t find a way to defend herself against the accusations and did not know how to explain.

Dong Li scoffed from the side, “Group Leader Yuelu, feeling distressed now, are you?

Did you think of how Miss Lu felt when you wronged her?”

“I…” Xin Yuelu glared hatefully at Lu Mian, “Miss Lu, you can’t retaliate against me like this!”

Her intention had been to disable the firewall and make the adversary think there was an opportunity, merely to trap them inside.

She really just wanted to find out if the person behind the scenes had any connections to Lu Mian.

But unexpectedly, the adversary was so formidable that even Sun Kai was unable to handle them.

Lu Mian snorted, she hadn’t even contemplated the word ‘revenge’.

“One daring to give the order, the other daring to carry it out, have you become too capable?

.Co

Or is there some misunderstanding about your own abilities?”

“You…” Xin Yuelu was left speechless.

Sun Kai, being lectured by a younger person, couldn’t maintain his dignity.

He sheepishly held onto his notebook, “Miss Lu, it’s not right to talk like that.

This isn’t a time to assign blame.

I wanted to help in good faith, but who knew the opponent would be so cunning…

The most important thing now is to resolve the issue.”

Xin Yuelu turned to Xiao Qimo directly, “Mr.

Xiao, could you please find someone to take care of this?

If this goes on, the lab’s data might be compromised…”

Everyone looking at Xin Yuelu at that moment showed expressions of disappointment and accusation to varying degrees.

They could all sense her eagerness for quick success and her rush to show off.

Perhaps it was this state of mind that led her to make even bigger mistakes, causing trouble for the farm.

Xiao Qimo gave a light smile and put on a look as if he was not the one to make the decision, “You ask my girlfriend if she’s willing to help.”

“…” Xin Yuelu suddenly turned towards Lu Mian.

If Sun Kai couldn’t do it, how could Lu Mian possibly manage?

There was something fundamentally problematic with her.

Xin Bo and the others looked at the codes leaping on the big screen, growing more anxious.

“Miss Lu, please, we need your help for our lab…”

“Miss Lu…”

Lu Mian didn’t bother with further words.

She motioned for Sun Kai to hand over his notebook, “Give me the notebook.”

She was brief and to the point.

Taking Sun Kai’s notebook, she calmly began typing, and soon there was a shift in the situation on the screen.

The rest couldn’t decipher it; they could only wait silently for the outcome.

“Miss Lu, can you, can you handle it?” Sun Kai watched Lu Mian with a headache, “I couldn’t handle them; maybe we should call in an expert…”

“Shut up!”

Lu Mian shot Sun Kai a cold glare, “You’re disturbing my fingers.”

Sun Kai: …

Everyone: …

In the following time, Lu Mian didn’t speak again, sitting there quietly and quickly typing on the keyboard.

The others didn’t understand these things.

They only knew that her hands were moving faster and her expression was becoming more serious.

They secretly worried about the leak of the lab’s data.

That was the culmination of two years of their research.

Though now, the most secret data had become Miss Lu’s cultivation method.

After an indeterminate length of time, just as everyone was growing more anxious, Lu Mian finally stopped.

Sun Kai stood up, “How is it?”

Lu Mian flexed her fingers and didn’t answer him.

Xiao Qimo got up and walked over, taking her hand and massaging it with tender patience, “How did it go?”

The same question, yet Lu Mian’s attitude was vastly different.

She smiled, showing a hint of pride in her soft demeanor.

“It’s done.”

The graceful man spoke with particular pride, “My baby is really amazing.”

Lu Mian pursed her lips and smiled in contentment.

Meanwhile, Sun Kai breathed a sigh of relief, yet found it unbelievable, “The opponent was very strong, fast, and ruthless.

Miss Lu, how did you manage it?”

Based on his estimation, the adversary’s capabilities were enough to break into the top five globally.

Such a formidable person, yet subdued by this twenty-year-old girl.

He was shocked beyond belief for a moment.

Out of curiosity, he took the initiative to look at the computer.

As he did, he let out a yelp.

“Your, your, your account…”

Lu Mian breezily switched the page, “What about my account?”

Confronted by her gaze, Sun Kai swallowed hard, “Your account name seems to have a thirteen in it…”
