When Xu Wanwan heard this familiar voice, she could not help but feel excited. She grabbed the chair in front of her and leaned over to look at the man. “You’ve been waiting for me?”
Li Jingran did not show it on his face. His tone was neither cold nor indifferent. “The driver has something to do at the last minute and had to go back.”
Xu Wanwan’s voice carried a hint of a smile. “It’s been hard on you to wait for me for so long.”
“But you’re so busy. Will this delay your work?”
Li Jingran put his hands on the steering wheel and looked ahead, frowning. “No.”
Xu Wanwan clenched her fingers and whispered, “If I delay your work, I’ll feel very guilty.”
“No.”
She didn’t feel at ease after hearing what he said.
All the important secrets of the Li Group had been stolen, and the most anxious person at the moment should be him.
But at such a critical moment, he still dropped everything to attend her welcoming party.
Xu Wanwan felt very uncomfortable. After returning home, she did not want to waste any more of his time, so she went straight to her room.
She took a shower and stood at the stairs upon seeing that the lights in the study on the second floor were still on.
She knew that Li Jingran’s work was definitely not yet finished.
Xu Wanwan’s eyes darkened, and she stood there for a long time.
When the Butler came downstairs and saw Xu Wanwan’s figure, he could not help but ask, “Miss Xu, it’s already very late. Why aren’t you resting?”
When Xu Wanwan saw the Butler, her eyes lit up. “I’m not sleepy. I want to ask you something. Is that okay?”
“Of course, Miss Xu can ask me any question you have.” The Butler thought that Xu Wanwan had encountered a problem in her life and agreed without even thinking about it.
Xu Wanwan’s tone carried a hint of probing. “Has the Li Group encountered any trouble recently?”
“This…” The Butler was taken aback, guessing guessed that Xu Wanwan might have seen the news on the internet. “The Li Group has encountered a little trouble, but it will be resolved soon.”
“If it’s just a little trouble, Mr. Li wouldn’t have left early or returned late. Can you tell me the truth?” Xu Wanwan sounded sincere.
The Butler sighed lightly and said hesitantly, “Then I’ll tell you. You must not tell anyone.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t.”
“After the successful product launch of Li Group’s new product, the company’s classified files were stolen. Director Li is now trying to get the resources back.”
Xu Wanwan could not help but frown. “If we don’t get the resources back in time, will it have a big impact on the company?”
The Butler said, “I’m not going to hide it from you, but if we let our rival company take advantage of our resources, the products that we’ve developed this time will be rendered useless. The company’s efforts over the past few years would have been in vain.”
When Xu Wanwan heard this, she felt even more upset. She lowered her head to hide the disappointment in her eyes. “Okay, I got it.”
When she returned to her room, she covered herself with a blanket, but she could not fall asleep no matter how hard she tried.
The QQ notification on her phone kept ringing in her ears. Xu Wanwan turned on her phone and tapped into the group chat.
Group Owner: “The mission that was previously released failed. Who else wants to try?”
The group chat was filled with sighs. Many gods were not willing to accept this difficult task.
“The mission already failed? Looks like the money from the Li Group is not that easy to earn. I advise everyone to give up on this one.”
“That’s right. The person who had previously accepted this mission was a big-shot hacker in the group. If he can’t even complete it, who else can?”
“Forget it. Let’s wait for the next opportunity.”
Xu Wanwan saw that no one in the group was willing to accept the mission, and her heart tightened. She did not have time to think too much and quickly sent out a message, “Group Owner, I want to accept this mission. Let me try.”
“If I can’t complete the mission, I will bear all the responsibility. I can sign a guarantee.”
After a long while, the Group Owner replied, “This mission is very difficult. It needs to be completed by tomorrow morning. Are you sure you can do it?”
Xu Wanwan: “I’m sure.”
The group was flooded with ridicule again. Soon, the message she sent out was drowned out.
“I think this newcomer is crazy about money. She dares to accept any mission and doesn’t even consider her own worth.”
“If she wants to accept it, then so be it. If she can’t complete it by then, she’ll probably lose her job.”
Third Brother Is The Most Handsome couldn’t stand it anymore and gave her a reminder. “Just A Bunny, have you really thought it through? If you can’t complete this mission, your personal account might be attacked and you won’t be able to continue in this line of work in the future.”
Xu Wanwan: “I’ve thought it through. I want to give it a try.”
She was clear about all the consequences, and she did not like to do things that she has no confidence in. However, this matter was related to the development of Li Group, and she just couldn’t just sit back and watch.
Even if she could not complete it, she still wanted to give it a try.
After a while, the Group Owner sent a private message: “Finish the mission before six o’clock tomorrow morning.”
Immediately after that, the Group Owner sent her a series of messages about the other party’s company and a web address that could be attacked.
Xu Wanwan replied with an “OK” and immediately got out of bed. She sat in front of her desk, turned on her computer, and focused on fighting.
The night was quiet. The lights in her room remained on, and the only sound in the entire room was the crisp sound of typing on the keyboard.
In the Li family’s study.
After the Butler had finished chatting with Xu Wanwan, he answered a phone call and quickly turned back.
“Director Li, the situation is not good. The hacker we found earlier failed in breaking into the other company.”
Li Jingran frowned, his gloomy mood sweeping over his whole body as he coldly said, “Go find another one again.”
The Butler knew that Li Jingran was angry, and he nervously wiped his sweat. “We found another one… But we are not sure how good the hacker is.”
“The other company has prepared a full defense system this time. They may have hired a top-notch hacker. It’s easy for us to defend, but hard to attack.”
Li Jingran rubbed the space between his eyebrows and said calmly, “Let’s wait a little longer.”
“At six o’clock tomorrow morning, if the person we got didn’t manage to break into the other company, then we’ll adopt plan B. We’ll announce the news of data breach and direct the blame at the other company.”
The Butler immediately nodded. “Yes.”
That night, Li Jingran didn’t sleep at all and stayed at the study room, waiting for news.
Xu Wanwan attacked until it was early morning, fine beads of sweat running down her forehead. She looked at the countdown on the computer screen, and her heart felt as if it had reached its climax.
In three seconds, she was very likely to break into the company’s internal servers.
Or it could be that all her previous efforts would be in vain, and she wouldn’t be able to break in.
She closed her eyes tightly and mentally counted three seconds. When she opened her eyes again, she could not help but tap the table lightly.
Her computer had entered a new interface.
She had successfully broken into the other party’s company’s system.
Next, she only had to find the folder where the data was saved. After cracking the password, the mission would be considered a success.
Time passed, minute by minute. Xu Wanwan searched for the files as fast as she could until she finally found the encrypted files belonging to the Li Group in a hidden folder.
After another half an hour, she finally finished cracking the password and transferred the file to her computer within the next twenty minutes.
