Chapter 521: Rong Qi Making Moves
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Rong Qi’s fingers raced across the keyboard, with rows of data from the Ye Group springing into view. Prominent among these was the file on Ye Shaochen, the current head of the Ye family.
Ye Shaochen’s face, bearing a faint resemblance to Ye Nanshen, was fixed in a grin that couldn’t have been more fake. Rong Qi let out a derisive snort as she browsed through Ye Shaochen’s credentials.
After a glance, Rong Qi found Ye Shaochen less impressive than Ye Nanshen. She thought, ‘And this man was in charge of the Ye family? Are they out of their minds?’
Rong Qi closed Ye Shaochen’s file and continued her keyboard dance.
Within a minute, the computers at the Ye Group displayed a sea of garbled text, and the lights flickered on and off like ghostly presences, terrifying the employees into stillness and even causing some to scream in fear.
Ye Shaochen’s imposing portrait, which Rong Qi had embellished into a monstrous visage with a gaping mouth and red eyes dotted with pimples, paraded across the company’s outdoor display screens, casting a bizarre yet hilarious spectacle.
The incident prompted an emergency meeting at the Ye Group, demanding the removal of Ye Shaochen’s grotesque portraits. Yet with every attempt they made, Ye Shaochen’s image morphed first into a pig’s head and then into a dancing monkey, further infuriating Ye Shaochen to the point of smashing his own computer.
“Mr. Ye, should we call the police? This goes beyond normal business competition.” Ye Shaochen’s assistant suggested as he looked at Ye Shaochen slumped in his chair, massaging his forehead in a mix of exhaustion and rage. “Do you think that would be useful? If the hackers left no traces, do you think the police could track them down?” Ye Shaochen asked. He kicked over the trash can at his feet, seething inside.
The assistant frowned and asked, “Could it be Ye Nanshen’s doing?”
“Who else but him would dare to confront me so openly?!” Ye Shaochen roared.
Thinking about the possibility only fueled Ye Shaochen’s anger. He yanked at the tie around his neck. He sneered with disdain, “He dares not defy Grandpa’s wishes, so he resorts to these dirty tricks to undermine me. But little does he know, by doing so, he’s only going to lose the support of those old geezers!” After every retaliation from Ye Nanshen, Ye Shaochen would say the same thing. In Ye Shaochen’s mind, it was always Ye Nanshen who was incompetent, who deliberately targeted him without daring to defy the family elders or Old Master Ye.
Ye Nanshen probably had a hold on so many of Ye Shaochen’s secrets, just waiting for the chance to rip off the facade and bring everything crashing down. Such foolishness like calling the police was something Ye Shaochen would never do.
Ye Shaochen thought Ye Nanshen wouldn’t live much longer and was aiming for mutual destruction. But Ye Shaochen had different plans. He needed to climb higher, to stand taller!
Ye Shaochen’s gaze rested on a plant nearby, his eyes dark and brooding. He said, “Since he uses such filthy methods against me, I will fight back in kind. Tell the others, whoever can breach into Jingsheng Corporation, a million-dollar annual salary awaits!”
“Yes, sir. Right away,” said the assistant and he sent out the notification immediately.
Ye Shaochen’s actions were swift, but when compared to the other side, he seemed inconsequential.
The Jingsheng Corporation was under daily hacker attacks, yet no one had succeeded. And today, the number and ferocity of the attacks were especially intense.
Rong Qi personally monitored the attempts and casually wrote a program to counteract the hackers. Those who had been trying to intrude were immediately subjected to a counter-tracing program and gifted with a computer virus from Rong Qi.
The hackers didn’t even have time to pull their internet cables before the virus tracked them down and invaded their systems..
