Everyone exchanged glances, indicating they didn’t know how good Gu Xiaoxi’s hacking skills were, but her prowess in beating someone up was impressive.
Another person was a whole head taller than her, yet she managed to throw him over her shoulder and slam him to the ground.
The person didn’t get up for a long time, wailing in pain.
Only then did Gu Xiaoxi turn to look at everyone else, "Since he doesn’t want to be here, I won’t force him," then she looked toward the doorway of the lecture room, "Since he wants to leave, take him away!"
Lin Mi hid at the doorway, heard the noise inside, touched her nose, and was speechless.
She, a mere soldier, had actually dared to strike a major general. And a major general had been beaten to the ground by a soldier, rendered unable to fight back.
Although the men from the Information Department were not known for their physical strength, the imposing figure alone should have been enough to intimidate people.
Yet, he was taken down by Gu Xiaoxi with one move.
All the onlookers’ faces changed in unison.
"You two, take him away and report to the superior officer, demote him one rank," Lin Mi told the two soldiers beside her.
The soldiers immediately entered the lecture room and carried away the nearly incapacitated major general.
When everything had quieted down, Gu Xiaoxi walked back to the podium and faced everyone with an innocent look, "He attacked first, I was merely defending myself."
Ye Shi and others with less self-control burst out laughing.
Gu Xiaoxi continued to sit in the armchair, chuckled lightly, "Stop laughing, you all saw what happened!"
Ye Shi was on the verge of laughing so hard he could bang the table, now suppressing his laughter, his face turning red as a liver.
In front of so many people, Gu Xiaoxi played dirty, hit someone, and brushed off the blame cleanly—it wasn’t her fault...
Now there were even witnesses. How did this little lady get such nerve?
Many people at the scene held back their laughter for a while.
The atmosphere also eased up a bit.
Gu Xiaoxi looked at everyone and then stood up from the chair, faced everyone with a serious expression, "Since no one’s talking and no one’s leaving, that means you all appreciate me. So let’s begin the lecture without wasting any more time. As for the topic of today’s lecture, you all know it, don’t you!"
Gu Xiaoxi’s gaze swept over the gloomy Xu Jingshen, completely ignoring everyone’s displeasure, and spoke leisurely, "Today, I’m going to talk about the basics so everyone can review together what hacking is. It has a significant relationship with us."
"The Information Department isn’t just in the military. Now, with the proliferation of digital networks, information has become a part of our lives, with businesses having corporate information departments, countries having science and technology information departments, and supermarkets having their own information departments, and so on."
"Of course, this also means that the enemy has their own independent information departments." Standing at the podium, Gu Xiaoxi cut a tall and shapely figure, her features delicate and her demeanor as steadfast as a pine. Her voice, clear and melodious, was even captivating, drawing people in.
Everyone, captivated by her presence, listened without averting their eyes, feeling entranced.
"Wherever there are people and computers, information cannot be separated. What we have to do with this information is to keep all enemies entirely at bay, protecting our software information from being leaked. At the same time, a part of our people will coordinate with the front lines, stealing enemy intelligence, controlling their movements, analyzing their digital information, identifying their weaknesses, and using computers to break through their defenses. With the most effective means, we steal the enemy’s intelligence for our own use."
"Hackers are called hackers because they are the ones who specialize in causing destruction using computers. However, our adversaries are not just a group of simple-minded fools who only cause damage."
