"Mr. Qin, I already told my wife, how could she..."
Although puzzled as to why his wife would suddenly show up, Zhao Ming, feeling guilty, walked out with Qin Xuan.
Only when he saw that the familiar figure was not there at all did he suddenly realize something was wrong.
"Why?"
"Is it because of money, or is there something else making it difficult?"
Since he had called Zhao Ming out alone, Qin Xuan had no intention of hiding anything anymore.
Although he could get the answer through the other party's clothes and accessories, he still wanted to hear Zhao Ming say it himself.
"Mr. Qin, what, what are you talking about?"
"How can I be so muddled?"
"You don't suspect me, do you?!"
"I am loyal to the company!"
"We still have to..."
Zhao Ming, somewhat flustered, was still trying to clear himself of suspicion through his words.
But Qin Xuan remained silent, just staring at him intently.
Two minutes later, he broke down.
His expression contorted, his words sharp and fierce.
"How did you know it was me?"
"And you were lying about the virus not being cracked?"
"Heh, General Qin is indeed General Qin, you really have your ways!"
"That's right, I planted the Trojan horse virus, and I deleted all the data from Douyin!"
"So, do you hate me?"
"Does it hurt your heart?"
"But no matter how much it hurts, you can't understand the pain I felt back then!"
"Do you know how desperate I was when I was suddenly laid off and blacklisted from the industry?"
"Do you know how much pressure I was under when the only source of income for my whole family was suddenly cut off?"
"Do you know how humiliating it was to beg others for a job?"
"You don't know. You were born with a silver spoon in your mouth, how could you understand the suffering of us common people?"
"That's right, you gave us jobs again, but so what?"
"Don't you know how big Hu Hao's company is?"
"Don't you know how influential he is in the industry?"
"You keep saying you'll take down Hu Hao and surpass Hu Lai, but what about now?"
"One video project is a copycat, and a game project invested billions, and you can't even see a single hair!"
"With a company like this, how can you compare to Hu Hao?"
"What gives you the right?!"
"So you accepted Hu Hao's bribe and acted as an inside informant for his company?"
After Zhao Ming vented, Qin Xuan finally spoke in a calm tone.
He understood Zhao Ming's hatred for him.
After all, they had indeed suffered varying degrees of harm due to his actions.
That was why Qin Xuan had apologized to everyone multiple times and promised them a future.
He just didn't expect that besides hating him, Zhao Ming also harbored a strong sense of crisis.
Even though, from the beginning, he had offered a salary far exceeding that of his peers.
And displayed financial strength that ordinary people did not possess.
It still couldn't alleviate it.
With things reaching this point, Zhao Ming no longer concealed anything.
He frankly stated that Hu Hao had promised him extremely tempting benefits.
Restoration of his position, lifting of the ban, and a very good bonus.
Although these so-called benefits, on the surface, were not even a tenth of what he had at Ya Qin, for Zhao Ming, they were the security for the rest of his life.
After hearing Zhao Ming's words, Qin Xuan fell silent again.
He slowly walked to his side and gently patted his shoulder.
"I implicated you all in what happened before, and I completely understand your thoughts."
"But don't you know what kind of person Hu Hao is?"
"Cold-blooded, greedy, driven solely by profit."
"Do you think you'll achieve the life you desire after succeeding this time?"
"Is that possible?!"
As Qin Xuan spoke, he stared intently at Zhao Ming.
But the other party directly took two steps back, creating distance between them.
It was clear that Zhao Ming couldn't listen to a single word at this point.
After a long while, Qin Xuan sighed deeply.
"Forget it, you can go."
"Hu Hao's task for you is completed, and now you can get your coveted iron rice bowl back."
With that, Qin Xuan left without stopping, turning and walking away.
He left behind a bewildered Zhao Ming, who stood stunned in the corridor for a long time.
...
Three hours later, in a room in a residential complex in Jiangcheng.
An empty coffee can traced an elegant arc through the air.
The person who created it then made a "hiss" sound as they opened another bottle.
This person was named Su Luo, thirty-two years old.
He had been dealing with software and programs since childhood, mastering programming and hacking techniques.
More than three hours ago, he discovered that he could no longer contact Ya Qin's botnet computers.
Being experienced, he didn't rush to take any action but instead connected to his compromised surveillance equipment.
The moment the camera feed connected, Su Luo was stunned.
Because the person sitting in front of the computer desk was an ice-cold beauty with a jade-like face and delicate eyebrows.
Not only that, but this ice-cold beauty's abilities were also extremely formidable.
Not only did she lock onto the Trojan horse virus he had planted in a short period, but she also traced the IP address of the machine that planted the Trojan horse at an astonishing speed.
This piqued his interest.
Because in Su Luo's opinion, his hacking skills were considered top-notch even on a global scale.
And this woman was able to decrypt with such clear thinking.
This was enough to prove that she was also an undeniable hacking master.
"Alright, then I'll see if my encryption is stronger or your decryption is stronger."
Su Luo, feeling playful, opened a can of his favorite coffee and started drinking.
At the same time, he watched the decryption livestream with great interest.
However, the more he watched, the more his heart sank.
In just three hours, the other party had almost cracked all the protective measures he had set up!
And now, the entire decryption process was only one step away from completion!
Decipher, reverse engineer, track!
When Su Luo saw his real IP address appear on the other party's computer screen, he felt a chill run down his spine!
This woman was too powerful!
If he was a master in the hacker world, then she was a god!
A crushingly superior god!
Their skill levels were not even on the same plane!
And when he saw this beautiful woman turn her head to look at him, goosebumps erupted all over his body, and he involuntarily jumped up from his chair.
She found me!
Could it be that this woman knew I was watching her from the beginning?!
Su Luo lost all his composure.
At this moment, his mind was filled with only one thought.
Run!
Run as far as possible!
Since the other party could find his address through the Trojan horse he had planted.
Then, based on the clues he had left behind, it would not be difficult to track his whereabouts!
With this thought, he quickly unplugged his phone from the charger and rushed out the door.
But as he opened the door, he bumped into someone.
"What's the matter, dear hacker, in such a hurry? Where are you going?"
