Explosion!
Dizziness!
Su Luo felt a sudden bout of vertigo!
He recognized the person in front of him – it was Qin Xuan, the ultimate target of his boss, Hu Hao.
But he couldn't understand.
That woman had just decrypted his encrypted message and obtained his IP address. Why had Qin Xuan already brought people to his doorstep, waiting outside?
Was the decryption process fake?
Or had the other party, while he wasn't paying attention, had some expert hack the surveillance and feed him outdated footage?
Even when Wan Lingqiu pinned him to the ground, Su Luo still couldn't figure out how he'd been exposed.
Su Luo couldn't have imagined Qin Xuan's abilities.
After separating from Zhao Ming, he found the USB drive with the implanted password on the latter's workstation.
Although everything inside had been wiped clean, the USB drive's inner voice couldn't be deleted.
With a simple question, Qin Xuan gained most of the information about Su Luo, the USB drive's original owner.
As for why Yuan Mengqi knew Su Luo was monitoring her, that was also thanks to Qin Xuan.
Before leaving, Qin Xuan heard the surveillance's inner voice: "Master, I'm sorry, I'm not clean anymore... sob sob..."
Upon closer questioning, he learned that the surveillance had also been controlled by someone.
Without a doubt, Su Luo was behind it.
So, Qin Xuan had Yuan Mengqi continue to stay at the company to crack the Trojan horse, while he himself, along with Wan Lingqiu and others, headed straight for Su Luo's home.
Wan Lingqiu and Fan Miwei kept an eye on Su Luo, while Qin Xuan, guided by the inner voices of other furniture, went directly to his computer.
"Computer, do you know about a project called Douyin?"
Computer: Yes, but all related files for Douyin have been completely deleted and overwritten, and cannot be recovered.
"Can you recite the contents within?"
Computer: Yes. 010001110111011,00011101011...
"Uh, okay, okay, thank you."
Only when the computer spewed out strings of binary numbers did Qin Xuan suddenly remember that when these computers viewed his internal files, they all displayed such sequences.
If he were to write them down and recompile them in reverse, it would be too late.
Since there was no data to be found on the computer, Qin Xuan could only place his hopes on Su Luo.
However, after questioning him for a long time, the man refused to say anything, acting completely nonchalant.
Seeing this, Wan Lingqiu stepped forward to teach him a lesson, but at that moment, Qin Xuan stopped her.
Computer: Please don't hit my master. He's just like this, neither soft nor hard. The software you want is installed on his phone. If you need it, just take it.
Hearing the computer plead for its master, Qin Xuan nodded silently.
He took Su Luo's phone, inquired about the unlock password, and successfully found the installed Douyin and its installation package.
Seeing this, Su Luo's expression changed.
He had almost watched this thing being made. Some of the methods and templates for shooting videos were indeed very interesting.
So, before deleting all the data, he had inexplicably installed it on himself.
He never expected this curious, unintentional action to leave the other party with a glimmer of hope!
A lapse in vigilance!
Completely defeated, Su Luo's face turned ashen. Qin Xuan let out a long sigh and sent the installation package to Zhu Sheng and the others.
With this installation package, they could first submit the software for review.
Later, they could obtain the source code by decompiling the software.
Although this installation package was only usable by Android users, rewriting the Android source code for iOS would be much simpler than starting from scratch.
The arrest was concluded.
Su Luo was directly escorted to the Jiangcheng Law Enforcement Bureau by Qin Xuan and his team.
Upon hearing that he was a high-IQ hacker, Liu Che also attached great importance to the matter.
After all, talent was always highly valued, no matter where.
Therefore, Liu Che planned to exhaust all efforts to find all of Su Luo's criminal evidence and then allow the man to atone for his crimes by working for the law enforcement bureau.
"By the way, General Qin, Hu Hao was bailed out this afternoon. You were on the plane, so we didn't have a chance to inform you."
"This operation did not find any evidence related to Hu Hao, so even if we wanted to, we couldn't keep him."
"As expected."
Qin Xuan nodded indifferently.
Hu Hao was, after all, from the Hu family of the Southwest.
As long as he didn't commit anything too outrageous, the Hu family would step in and bail him out.
So, Qin Xuan signaled Liu Che not to worry too much, and that everything should proceed according to the process.
After bidding farewell to Liu Che, Qin Xuan got into a car heading back to the company.
But before he could even get comfortable, he received another call.
"Qin Xuan, hurry and come see!"
"Old Zhao, he, Old Zhao is dying!"
Hearing the woman's hoarse voice, Qin Xuan's heart sank.
The "Old Zhao" she mentioned was Zhao Ming, whom he had parted ways with just a few hours ago.
And this woman was Wu Li, Zhao Ming's wife of over ten years.
"Lingqiu, head to Jiangcheng Hospital, as fast as possible!"
"Understood!"
Wan Lingqiu vaguely heard a woman crying from the earpiece and knew there was no time to delay.
She shifted her body to find a good position, then floored the accelerator.
With a roar, the heavily modified Land Cruiser shot out like a fierce tiger.
Even with the heavy traffic on the road, it maintained a speed of over 120 kilometers per hour.
"Damn it, driving that fast on the main road, are you trying to die?!"
Drivers startled by the Cruiser cursed loudly, but upon seeing the white license plate, they wisely shut their mouths.
White represented the military. They couldn't afford to offend vehicles like this.
Arriving at the hospital after a swift drive, Qin Xuan finally saw a silent Wu Li.
She looked exhausted, her eyes red and swollen from crying so much.
Half-sitting, half-lying on the hospital corridor chairs, she clearly displayed the signs of extreme grief.
"Sister-in-law, how is Old Zhao?"
Hearing Qin Xuan's voice, Wu Li's eyes regained some clarity.
She struggled to stand up and said to Qin Xuan in a hoarse voice, "He jumped from the building, with multiple comminuted fractures all over his body."
"He's still in surgery, and the doctors say the chances are slim..."
"How could this happen?!" Qin Xuan was shocked.
Yet, in his heart, he already had a vague suspicion.
"It's all because of that Hu Hao!"
"After leaving you, Old Zhao went to Hulai Network."
"He thought he would be treated as a meritorious official, or at least receive what Hu Hao promised."
"But unexpectedly, Hu Hao turned hostile on the spot and completely denied ever promising anything to Old Zhao."
"Not only that, but he also claimed to have evidence of Old Zhao's crimes, and if Old Zhao continued to pester him, he would hand the evidence over to the law enforcement bureau and have him jailed!"
"After failing to reason with him, Old Zhao became increasingly distressed. After sending me this text message, he jumped from the top of Hulai's building..."
