"Gu Xiaoxi, what gives you the right to say that?" Yao Yumo was equally shocked, especially since Gu Xiaoxi had really stolen the data from the Xuanan Bureau in such a short period of time, picking out the most suspicious projects to talk about.
Just her clear head alone frightened him.
Gu Xiaoxi turned her head to look at him, her eyes flickering with sunlight-like gleam, then she raised her chin and smiled, "I’ve found it. In March, April, June, September... The file copying records from the month of each incident. Someone copied the internal database of the National Security Bureau ten hours before the prison break."
"Impossible! I’ve had my suspicions and even checked the system myself, there were no traces of copying," Yao Yumo asserted. He had started learning programming and playing with computers at the age of twelve, now fourteen years on.
He considered his skills to be very good, maybe not top-tier, but certainly not to be easily bypassed by just any hacker.
"Don’t believe it?" Gu Xiaoxi sneered, then turned back to look at Ye Shi. "You tell him, what did the hacker leave behind?"
Ye Shi clicked his tongue, got up from his seat, and looked towards Gu Xiaoxi, his peach blossom eyes filled with flattering smiles, "Miss Gu is right. Yumo, this might be a result you didn’t expect. Since March last year, the hacker indeed left traces of stealing data, but they used a hidden program to cover it up. So even if you did look for it, if you were not thorough, you simply wouldn’t find it."
"Hidden?" Yao Yumo’s thin lips turned pale, and he suddenly thought of something, his complexion becoming extremely unsightly.
Indeed, if the traces were well hidden, nothing would be seen.
Yet Yao Yumo immediately raised his head to stare at Gu Xiaoxi, full of confusion, "How did you find out?"
"The leak of classified information means there’s either a mole in the Information Department or the Xuanan Bureau. Since I got in, to convince you completely, I broke through the hidden traces as well. Now you can see for yourself whether data was copied six times from last March until now."
Gu Xiaoxi’s words deepened the expressions on Xu Jingshen’s and Tang Yisheng’s faces. They quickly bowed their heads, looking towards Yao Yumo’s computer.
Quickly, he pulled up the information copying record and, sure enough, six occurrences had popped up out of nowhere! And the timing was in perfect alignment with the prison break cases.
"How is this possible?" everyone exclaimed.
Gu Xiaoxi’s lips curled up slightly. Being a hacker, she naturally had a firm grasp of these matters. There was no system in the world she couldn’t breach because she would add her own code to the existing system and then create an undetectable loophole to infiltrate and safely retreat.
In the end, no one could catch any hold over her.
That’s why she could crack systems and steal everything she wanted.
The reason Quan Shaoqing had asked her to come wasn’t just because they had a bit of a connection.
It was because she truly had the ability.
If one could control thousands of computers in the headquarters without any real ability, who could manage that? Including Young Master Quan and his subordinates, none could do it.
At that moment, a silent hush fell over the lecture hall, so quiet you could hear a pin drop, and a cold sweat broke out on everyone’s back.
Especially Xu Jingshen and Tang Yisheng, who had both designed highly praised systems—could there be problems in them that they didn’t even know about?
This thought, like a Demon’s large hand, instantly seized their throats, their spirits crumbling at this very moment.
