UPWR1BY Chapter 035: I'll Make a Move
"Not in Kyoto?" Ye Xiu frowned. "Could I be suspecting the wrong person? Can you check who he had contact with before? Is there someone named Wang Ji?"
"Alright, Mr. Ye, please wait a moment."
After another five minutes, the response came, "Indeed, there is a contact named Wang Ji in this person's phonebook, and I also checked this person named Wang Ji. He is the CEO of PalmTech in Kyoto."
That confirmed it. Ye Xiu nodded. "That's the one."
"What would you like to do, Mr. Ye?"
After a pause, Ye Xiu asked, "If I hack their company, will they be able to trace it back to me as well?"
Since this hacker could trace who hacked Haiyue Technology, could the other party also use similar methods to trace them? Continuing this entanglement would be troublesome. Ye Xiu didn't have time for such trivial matters.
"Mr. Ye, rest assured. There aren't many hackers in the world who can match me. This kid's methods are quite low-level compared to mine, so he won't be able to find any clues to come after us."
"That's good." Ye Xiu nodded. "Then let's go ahead and hack them."
"Alright, please wait."
After another five minutes, the response came, "Mr. Ye, rest assured, all the servers at PalmTech headquarters have been paralyzed. It will take at least half a month to completely repair them because I've placed some little things inside to erase all their data."
"Okay, let's talk about the price."
Ye Xiu was slightly surprised. This hacker was so capable and straightforward.
"Mr. Ye, it's just a small favor. It's not worth mentioning."
"Okay, I'll take this favor." Ye Xiu nodded. "We'll be in touch in the future."
"Goodbye, Mr. Ye."
With that, the call ended.
Meanwhile, Liu Wenyue rushed in again, her face full of surprise. "Mr. Ye, the computers in our company... are back to normal."
"Yeah, I know."
Ye Xiu remained calm. While the hacker on the other end was hacking PalmTech, he also helped fix the company's servers. Although Ye Xiu didn't understand much about IT, he had to admit that it was really impressive.
In just a few minutes, someone thousands of miles away had fixed it for him.
...
At the same time, Wang Ji, who was feeling proud in the CEO's office at PalmTech, suddenly saw his computer screen go black.
A panda holding three incense sticks appeared on the screen.
"What is this?" Wang Ji was taken aback and felt something was wrong, so he quickly shut down the computer.
When he tried to turn it back on... it wouldn't start! The computer had turned into a black-and-white TV!
"Knock, knock, knock."
"Come in!" Wang Ji shouted.
A company clerk rushed in anxiously. "Mr. Wang, something's wrong! All the computers in the company have been infected!"
"Huh?"
Wang Ji went out to take a look, and indeed, there was a panda holding three incense sticks on every computer. Then, when they tried to restart them, they turned into black-and-white TVs.
Before he could even process what was happening, his phone rang.
Seeing that it was a call from Lao Hu, Wang Ji answered directly.
"Hello, Lao Hu..."
Before Wang Ji could finish, Lao Hu burst out swearing, "Damn it, Wang Ji, you've ruined me!"
"What's wrong?" Wang Ji was puzzled. Wasn't he just asked to hack Haiyue Technology's servers? Why was he being cursed like this?
Without waiting for Wang Ji to speak, Lao Hu continued, "Stop pretending! You've gotten me into trouble! My computer was infected earlier too. It was that damn panda holding incense sticks! Wang Ji, this is a warning from the hacking world. You've messed with the wrong person!"
With that, Lao Hu hung up directly.
Wang Ji was left dumbfounded.
