After registering their marriage, they headed to the airport to pick up Alex.
Jiang Yue decided to recruit Alex for two reasons. First, Jiang Yue wanted to use Alex in her ploy against the culprit, and the second was that Jiang Yue was planning to build a team to combat future possible virtual attacks. Bai'Li and his team of developers were not enough for this.
What she needed was another individual that could lead another team, specializing in security.
However, Alex was still unaware of this. The reason that Alex had agreed on meeting Jiang Yue was because Jiang Yue had promised to show her how she was able to trace her and hack into her firewall without being detected.
For Alex, knowledge was more important than money. She needed to learn from Jiang Yue so that she could do something about her firewall.
And Jiang Yue was aware of her thirst for knowledge. That was why she was able to trick her to meet up.
Alex was still unaware that Jiang Yue was planning to bribe Alex with knowledge in exchange for Alex to stay and work for her.
Of course, even Jiang Yue knew she would also gladly accept this kind of arrangement.
After a few minutes of waiting, the couple finally met Alex.
"So, who exactly told you that I was a girl?" he asked Jiang Yue. They were currently in the car on their way back to the Wang Estate.
It took them hours to find each other because Jiang Yue thought he was a girl and he thought she was a boy.
Jiang Yue and Fu Jin stared at the teenager named Alex in front of them.
The teenager had blond hair, blue eyes, nose piercing, eyeliner, and tattered pants.
"I... uh... I assumed that you were a girl from the movies that you were watching," she answered. This man watched fantasy films and animations with witches and fairies in them!
Of course, Jiang Yue would assume that Alex was a female.
"Oh!" Alex facepalmed. "That was my sister."
"Oh." Jiang Yue smiled awkwardly. She hadn't thought about that.
She did not know of any hacker who would let someone else use their personal computer.
"So, when will you tell me how you got into my computer?" Alex asked.
"After you do what I ask you to do," she answered.
"And that is?"
"I want you to contact the one who asked you to create a malware for my company. Give them this." Jiang Yue said as she gave him a USB, her gaze serious. "In a while, I will release the news that someone hacked into one of my companies."
She wanted to know what would happen if she released the news herself.
Jiang Yue could actually do this all by herself, but this time, she wanted to stay behind-the-scenes, monitoring everything.
She was already keeping a close watch on everything. All she needed now was to know what the culprit would do if something unexpected happened.
The couple finally arrived at the Wang Estate and arranged for Alex to stay in one of the guest rooms. After this, they would have him stay with Bai'Li and the other staff at Jiang Yue's office..
Hours later, news of the malware attack spread. Every media outlet released a piece of news from a very credible source saying that the Wu Conglomerate suffered some losses from the attack.
Then Alex sent an email to the anonymous person who had contacted him. Both Jiang Yue and Alex tried to trace the email but they hit a dead end. For some reason, the culprit was using something that could evade their search.
"Such sophistication." Jiang Yue thought out loud. Now, Jiang Yue was sure of two things.
One, the person behind this had planned everything carefully and had analyzed her possible reactions.
Second, the person either came from or was supported by a very wealthy family.
One would need a lot of money to be able to complete this meticulous plan.
Jiang Yue frowned as she tried to think about Fu Jin's uncle. Currently, only he fit the profile. She wondered what his reasons could be for doing this.
Was it greed?
Or just pure evil intentions?
