Gu Mang was just about to reply to Shen Xie when she received another message.
“Quick.”
Gu Mang was stunned for a moment. Shen Xie often appeared in major business magazines. Anyone who paid attention to the financial sector would know him for sure. He was famous in the business world for his unique vision, as well as his calm and reserved composure. This was the first time that he had rushed her.
Gu Mang replied. “Okay.”
She stuffed the last small piece of compressed biscuit into her mouth and reconfigured her phone to turn it into a computer. It was quite small so it was rather inconvenient to work on. Gu Mang typed on the keyboard quickly.
Five minutes later, she saw that there were no changes in the online conversation on the screen at all and she squinted slightly.
Tsk. They had put in a hefty sum. Their defense was rather strong. They put in as much for their attack as they did for their defense. This means that the costs of cracking the conversation will surely be very high. There is no need to mention how high the technical standard was required to be.
She was a little interested in what kind of information this encrypted network conversation had.
After a short silence, Gu Mang replied to Shen Xie. “I need some time.”
Shen Xie replied, “Sure. Hurry up.”
Seeing that he was in such a panicked state, she added, “What’s wrong?”
Shen Xie replied. “The stock market in the financial center has been acting rather strange. The company has been affected as well and we can’t figure out the reason for it.”
Gu Mang typed calmly. “Do you suspect a cyber attack?”
Shen Xie answered, “We don’t know yet. We will only have an answer when the online conversation has been cracked.”
Gu Mang raised her eyebrows. “Sure.”
Gu Mang closed the conversation with Shen Xie and entered the hackers forum. The top post in the forum was about the online conversation. To date, no one had been able to crack it. The appearance of the conversation sparked the interest of all the hackers. There were heated discussions in the forum.
At 11pm, the special training team informed her that Number 3 had been eliminated. Gu Mang was rather surprised when she learned that the first person to be eliminated was not Gu Si. She did not know what kind of tricks the little rascal had up his sleeves such that he could survive the first day.
After returning to her little wooden hut and showering, she came out of the shower with a towel pressed on his head. She poured herself a glass of water. After taking a sip, she put the cup to the side and pulled a chair over to sit down. Then, she switched on her laptop to crack the conversation. But she had tried two methods and yet she still wasn’t in.
Gu Mang stepped on the chair with one leg and propped up her face in her hand. She looked at the jumping cursor on the screen expressionlessly. A lot of top hackers must have collaborated to encrypt the conversation. The cost of such good encryption was surely high.
What was the purpose of spending so much time and energy on it?
Gu Mang tapped on her face nonchalantly and was about to continue cracking when someone knocked on her door. She turned to look at it slowly.
“Ms. Gu, I’m Lu Yi.” A voice was heard.
Gu Mang raised her exquisite eyebrows and put her leg down. She got up and walked over to open the door.
Lu Yi said respectfully, “Ms. Gu, the person who sent Young Master Lu’s medicine here has brought some strawberry layered cake and macarons from Honey Mill. Young Master Lu has invited you over to have some.”
Gu Mang was silent. Other than the strong antiseptic smell in the medical room, the bitter smell of medicine wafted about the room. The moment Gu Mang appeared at the doorstep, Lu Chengzhou looked over. The man leaned slightly against the bed and he was drinking water. It seemed like he had just finished taking his chinese medicine.
The jar of honey on the bedside table was opened. There were also some macarons and a strawberry layered cake placed there. Qin Fang and He Yidu were there as well.
“Brother Cheng, the technical team has been working on it for a day and we still don’t have an outcome. We…” Qin Fang was speaking but when he saw Lu Chengzhou suddenly look at the door, he knew who had come. He looked at Gu Mang with a smile. “Oh, Sister-in-law is here.”
Gu Mang was expressionless.
He Yidu did not even want to bother with the dumb person beside him. Qin Fang was too much of a snob.
