After a few hours, Wang Guiren and Wang Huo arrived in a hurry.
It was a sleepless night for everyone as they discussed what had happened.
This discussion included their losses from tonight's attack as well as Wang Minghua's supposed pregnant girlfriend.
However, no matter how much they analyzed these random things, they couldn't seem to come up with a solution other than searching for the culprit and being more careful.
The discussion ended with them being exhausted and without any solutions. After all, waging a war was only easy if one knew who their enemy was.
...
However, who would have known that this was just the beginning of their problems?
That noon, another malware attack occurred. This time it was directed at the Wu Conglomerate.
This made Jiang Yue and Fu Jin more confused.
"These attacks look so random and intentional at the same time." Jiang Yue said, her eyes glued to her laptop. "As if someone is deliberately keeping us busy to divert their attention"
"I agree. Look at this file that Bei' Ye has sent." Fu Jin said. The couple chose to deal with all of these problems together in Jiang Yue's room. After all, the safest location was the Wang Estate.
Jiang Yue was adamant on staying at home to deal with these things. Since their enemy was still unknown, they were at a disadvantage, which meant that they couldn't move forward. The best thing to do if they couldn't move forward was to stay where they were.
This was a very important lesson that Jiang Yue learned from reading the Art of War. If it is to your advantage, make a forward move. If not, stay where you are.
"Hmmm... so that producer that Yu Yan told us about is also a dead end." Jiang Yue thought out loud. Fu Jin had just shown her the results of their investigation on the manuscript. According to Bei' Ye's findings, the producer was currently not aware of the manuscript that Yu Yan was talking about.
This could only mean two things. Either Yu Yan was lying, or she was tricked and had given the manuscript to someone else.
Someone who was either eyeing the film, or Moon Publishing.
At the same time, Jiang Yue also received a call from Wang Minghua. He informed her that Fu Xiaolan wanted to see him to talk about something important.
Jiang Yue massaged her temples after she finished her call with Minghua.
"Seems like your uncle is making his move." She told Fu Jin while massaging her neck. "The timing is just so perfect. I have a suspicion that he is the one responsible for all this, but I am confused about one thing. He could have easily done this a year ago while I was away. Why would he choose to wait until I came back to launch his plan?"
To her surprise, Fu Jin put away his laptop and walked behind her to massage her neck. "Don't tire yourself out. We are safe. Stop worrying about things so much. I'm sure we can solve this together."
"Hmmm..." Jiang Yue said while indulging herself in Fu Jin's massage. "This is good."
"Hm?"
"I mean you and me working together at the same time feels good." Jiang Yue clarified.
"We will do this every day from now on." Fu Jin said, his voice as gentle as his gaze. To be with Jiang Yue was his dream. In both his previous and current lives.
"We should." Jiang Yue nodded before turning her gaze to her laptop. "Hey... check this out."
Fu Jin stopped massaging her neck and sit down beside her. "What is this?"
"This is the only lead that we have. The Hacker. She is located abroad and guess what?" Jiang Yue beamed.
"What?" he asked.
"I just established a way to communicate with her." She declared proudly.
Fu Jin stared at the laptop, "You're going to disturb all of her current jobs?"
"You are so smart. I love it. Hehehe... " Jiang Yue laughed before pointing at her laptop. "See this? I was able to break into her firewall and monitor her current movements. I know she is accepting multiple jobs and I was able to trace all of them."
"So you are planning to ruin her previous jobs and stain her name?"
"No... what's the use in ruining her previous jobs? I will ruin her current ones until she realizes that something is wrong and contacts me." She said.
"Smart." Fu Jin praised.
"I know! Come on! Pat my head!" she playfully said.
Fu Jin just smiled and pat Jiang Yue's head. "Hmmm... you're the best."
Jiang Yue smiled at Fu Jin's doting behavior before diverting her attention to her current mission.
What she needed now was to be as low key as possible and appear to be powerless against this attack.
Then wait.
Wait for their next move.
Jiang Yue was certain that after tonight she would be able to establish a plan of counterattack.
