12:34 AM...
Inside Bai Xue's mansion.
It's been over an hour since Xiaofan left. Bai Xue, waiting, appeared sowhat anxious.
In contrast, Leng Yue was casually fiddling with her phone, a deep, heartfelt smile occasionally crossing her delicate brows.
It turned out that on the previous night when she was with Xiaofan in the room, he secretly took photos of them together; she was sound asleep in the pictures, while he was making all sorts of funny faces.
When he sent them over before, she didn't look at them closely, but now that she had so free ti, she realized he took so many photos with her phone.
"At a ti like this, you can still laugh?" Bai Xue couldn't help but question when she saw Leng Yue's expression.
"Huh? With the team leader's skills, there's nothing to worry about. Those bodyguards can't handle him." Leng Yue replied slowly.
"Oh, right." Bai Xue paused, realizing what Leng Yue said didn't match her own concerns.
"What, you're not worried about the team leader?" Leng Yue asked, puzzled.
"He's so capable, there's no need to worry about him. It's not like I'm idle. I'm just concerned whether he can get the data."
Bai Xue's worry? Leng Yue was taken aback. No wonder, her status is different now. She's been working hard for a long ti for the sake of her family's future. If they could succeed this ti, it would be a big step forward for her family.
But if she trusts the team leader already, then what's there to worry about? Back when they were with Red Butterfly, did the team leader ever return empty-handed? Absolutely not.
"The team leader only set off before 11 PM. It takes at least over twenty minutes to get from here to the building, plus preparation and action ti. It's just a bit over an hour now. Do you take him for an Immortal or sothing? It's impossible to be that fast..."
"Yeah, I guess I'm too impatient."
'Riiing, riiing...'
At this mont, Bai Xue's phone rang.
"Hello. Ruyu?"
"The team leader's back, the car just arrived."
"What? He's back?"
No way? That fast?
Bai Xue had instructed Ruyu to call her right away if any car returned to the mansion. They had just finished talking, and now she heard the news of his return.
"What about the data?" Bai Xue continued to ask.
"I didn't ask, the team leader went upstairs after getting out of the car."
"Okay."
Shortly after the call ended, there was a knock at the door.
This ti, Bai Xue didn't wait for Leng Yue to open the door; she quickly rushed to the door and pulled it open. Sure enough, standing there was the team leader wearing the Li Fei mask.
"How did it go? Was it a success?"
"Are you kidding? You think I can't handle sothing this simple?" Xiaofan said, pulling a mobile USB drive from his pocket and gave it a shake.
"Wow, amazing." Bai Xue snatched the USB drive and imdiately went back to her spot, plugging it into her computer.
Watching Bai Xue's focused expression, Xiaofan shook his head with a wry smile.
"That was fast." Leng Yue remarked. Since Xiaofan appeared, her deanor had taken on a distinctly feminine charm. She handed a cup of hot tea to Xiaofan.
"Ah, I almost got caught. Luckily, I reacted in ti."
Actually, it wasn't difficult at all. The only reason Bai Xue knew the corporation had such a security flaw was that they had bribed soone inside, so Xiaofan already had the password and keys ready to access the control room.
After Li Kuo helped cut the cara feed, the security in the security room was effectively non-existent. Xiaofan road freely in the building, as though it was unguarded.
However, he almost got discovered at the end in the control room.
From booting up the computer to retrieving the data, the USB download speed was swift, but such vast amounts of data couldn't be transferred instantly.
With so downti, Xiaofan started chatting with Li Kuo. Seeing a confirmation button, he lazily pressed the enter key to continue the download.
"Hey, what's going on? The interference noise is getting stronger. Logically, the control room should have a physical cable connection, so there shouldn't be signal interference?" Li Kuo got annoyed by the noise on the walkie-talkie as they chatted.
It wasn't a big deal for Xiaofan, after all, as long as he could hear it was fine. Using the Migratory Bird Signal Device, they were able to communicate from such a distance, so background noise was expected.
But Li Kuo was unsatisfied. For a top-notch hacker, any network anomaly that seed botherso had to be investigated.
The main computer couldn't have been using WIFI, as that would create significant vulnerabilities. But ever since Xiaofan entered the control room, the interference waves grew stronger. This triggered Li Kuo's obsession with finding out.
"Wait, Xiaofan..." Suddenly, Li Kuo seed to recall sothing.
"Huh? What's up?"
"Check behind the main computer for anything unusual..."
"Sothing unusual..." Xiaofan asked, puzzled.
"Go check quickly, whatever seems suspicious, tell ."
"Okay."
Saying this, Xiaofan crouched to check. Sure enough, behind the computer's main case, there was a flashing green light on sothing unknown, with a tir on it.
"There's..."
"Is there a countdown tir?"
"Yes..."
"How much ti is left?"
"One minute twelve seconds..."
"Oh crap, it's cutting it close. How much longer on the download?"
"Twenty-five percent remaining..."
"Download faster, as soon as it's done, eject the USB, and shut down the main computer, no, pull the plug, understood?"
"Yeah, I'm on it, what's this thing?"
"That's the automatic alarm system for anti-theft. When the computer boots up, it automatically activates. From what you described, it triggers an alarm using wireless signals within four minutes. I'm not over there; without tools, you won't be able to break the password." Li Kuo said, slightly anxious.
"No worries, even if I'm discovered, the security can't do anything to ."
"Those guards can't stop you, but your house's main door locks automatically. When the alarm goes off, the door locks and the passwords reset. Let's see how you'll get out."
"Damn, that's serious... Forty-five seconds left... Faster, co on..." Xiaofan frowned as well.
Ten, nine, eight, seven...
The last five seconds, the download completed, and Xiaofan imdiately hit the enter key, simultaneously pulling out the USB and cutting the computer's power.
He nearly got caught in a trap this ti. Xiaofan was drenched in cold sweat from the scare.
