Chapter 613: Chapter 613: Do You Think You Can Investigate Me?
Sun Kai couldn’t help but make a big fuss; he had become extremely sensitive to the account “Thirteen.”
Or rather, everyone in their circle was immensely interested in this name.
“Who is Thirteen?” someone asked curiously.
Others might not know, but Xin Yuelu did, having been schooled by Sun Kai.
She remembered the name, especially the fact that he was one of the top three hackers in the world and that he was a top-level master with a bounty of five hundred million offered by Interpol.
Such an almost god-like existence was actually Lu Mian?
This can’t be possible!
Sun Kai stretched his neck, almost diving into the screen, but Lu Mian had already completely exited the interface and erased all traces of her activity; he couldn’t find anything at all.
“Miss Lu, let me have a look, I really saw Thirteen.
Are you Thirteen herself?” Sun Kai looked at Lu Mian with a mixture of admiration and awe, his eyes gleaming.
After all, if she really was the mysterious Thirteen, she would be worth five hundred million!
While he still wanted to dig deeper, Lu Mian closed the laptop and handed it back to him, her lips hooked into a cold smile.
“Have a look, by all means.”
Her manner of complete indifference to being investigated was exceedingly straightforward.
Xiao Qimo’s lips curved into a smile, shaking his head helplessly.
Sun Kai took the laptop, hurriedly reopened it, and tapped away at the keyboard for a good while, but by then where was even a trace of Thirteen to be found!
“Miss Lu…” Sun Kai showed a look of pleading.
Lu Mian leaned back in her chair, her smile more sardonic than amiable, “You can’t even track my account and you want to check on Thirteen?
What a venomous tongue.
Lu Mian gave him a glance and huffed, “Mr.
Sun Kai, in the future, act within your capabilities.
Don’t do things you aren’t sure about.”
Sun Kai’s face turned red, accepting Lu Mian’s criticism.
His own skills had been inadequate, allowing her to take advantage, and if it hadn’t been for Miss Lu’s intervention, he feared even his entire wealth and life would not have sufficed to make up for his mistake.
Previously, he had not recognized her true capability, thinking Miss Lu’s skills were comparable to his own.
He wanted to take back his earlier remark “The younger generation is to be feared,” realizing he was actually the junior.
“Miss Lu, don’t you have any interest in Thirteen?
Interpol has offered a reward of five hundred million.
I think if you put in the effort, you might actually find them!”
Sun Kai did his utmost to entice Lu Mian, really wanting to know Thirteen’s true identity.
Lu Mian didn’t speak.
She was not interested.
Meanwhile, Xiao Qimo spoke up coldly, his tone not very amicable.
“Sir, shouldn’t we discuss the damages you’ve caused to the farm?”
His words, clearly carrying a threat, caused Sun Kai to immediately cover his mouth with both hands, speaking tentatively, “Mr.
Xiao, I’m sorry, the boss gave me orders, I had no choice…”
He tried his best to reduce his presence.
Xiao Qimo shifted his gaze to Xin Yuelu.
Xin Yuelu’s heart jolted; she bit her lip so hard she nearly broke the skin.
She had been hoping to make a contribution but had instead caused trouble, and in the end, it was Lu Mian who had to clean up the mess.
The feeling of being saved by Lu Mian was just too uncomfortable.
“Speak, what should be done?” Xiao Qimo said coolly.
He had been holding his patience for a long time.
Xin Yuelu was at a loss for words.
Before she bit through her lips, she took a deep breath and said, “I’m grateful to Miss Lu for stepping in this time, I will submit my resignation myself.
But may I ask, Miss Lu, have you found out who is behind the farm network attack?
Will they come back for another attack?”
This was a worry that Xin Yuelu didn’t need to bear.
The farm’s network firewall was already impenetrable after Lu Mian reinforced it.
If it hadn’t been for Sun Kai entering the network, taking a risky move and creating an opening, the opponents would never have breached their defenses no matter what.
It couldn’t be said that Xin Yuelu or Sun Kai were spies, they were at most…
As for her just now, she not only patched up the vulnerability but also stumbled upon some traces in the process.
However, the adversary was indeed very skilled, and she couldn’t determine their identity right away.
“Head of the team, Xin, you don’t need to trouble yourself with that.
Rather than conflicting with me here, you’d better go back and have a good talk with your student Pu Zongyang, and ask him why he betrayed the farm.”
“What do you mean?” Xin Yuelu’s face turned pale.
She looked around and, surprisingly, didn’t see Pu Zongyang’s figure this time.
He hadn’t come to the meeting.
The others found it strange as well, knowing that Pu Zongyang tended to be sharp-tongued, but he didn’t seem like a traitor.
“What I mean is, all the information was leaked through Pu Zongyang.
Everyone’s phones being hacked originated not from Dong Li, but from Pu Zongyang.
He just didn’t tell you all.”
Standing nearby, Dong Li, who felt vindicated, stomped his foot in indignation.
“I knew there was something off with Pu Zongyang!
He was always covertly recording data on his phone!
With mobile networks connected to external ones, it was easy for them to target him!
Pah, I’ve always treated him like a decent person, but he turned out to be anything but!”
Lu Mian pursed her lips, “Head of the team, Xin, you’ve trained a fine student.”
There was ostensibly no emotion in that sentence, but to Xin Yuelu’s ears, it was full of mockery.
The spy she had been chasing wasn’t Lu Mian, but her own student?
So, the problems all stemmed from her own student.
Then, did Pu Zongyang deliberately target Lu Mian, intentionally directing all the hatred towards her as part of an early plan?
Upon further reflection, Xin Yuelu was too frightened to continue thinking.
She held her face in her hands and shed tears of regret.
Xin Yuelu offered a deep apology to Lu Mian, covering her face as she fled.
Xin’s father watched her retreating figure and sighed, turning to Xiao Qimo, “Mr.
Xiao, rest assured, I will handle this matter in accordance with farm regulations and ensure everything is properly dealt with.”
Xiao Qimo gave Xin’s father a warning glance.
Xin’s father got the message.
He couldn’t show favoritism; he had to enforce the law impartially, even more strictly than usual.
Besides, his daughter now seemed to have little interest in her research; it was time to send her abroad for further studies.
With this, the farm network incident came to a close.
Everyone was relieved to learn that no core data from the lab had been leaked.
After all, the lab departments conducted their research separately, and Pu Zongyang’s clearance wasn’t high enough to access such confidential information.
It was a fortunate outcome amidst an unfortunate situation.
Afterward, Lu Mian briefly explained how to use some of her special devices and avoid injuries before she adjourned the meeting.
However, she asked Pan Jiancheng and Dong Li from the medical group to stay behind.
