”What kind of idea?” Zhao Qi did not think Shi Shi would have any good ideas but still tried to listen to her anyway.
”Be patient.” Shi Shi took her cell phone, looked through her contact list, and dialed a number.
”Hello! Mr. Liu?”
When the phone connected, Shi Shi automatically changed to her falsetto voice that sounded soft and flirty.
”Yes, Mr. Liu, it’s me, Shi Shi!”
”Oh... Mr. Liu, I need your help… No, my computer isn’t broken. Did you know there is a forum called Wang Haige in our city? A few members were insulting and bullying me on that forum. Can you help me identify their IP addresses? Uh… I won’t do anything. I just want to know… Against the law?”
Shi Shi’s face immediately became long. ”You mean you can’t do it, right? Then I will go and ask Mr. Aren to help me!”
A flurry of pleas could be heard through the phone.
”Yes? Ok, I will send you a few IDs later. I will give you one chance!” She hung up the phone.
Zhao Qi looked at her, speechless. ”Who was he?”
Shi Shi switched to her normal voice. ”Who else? Xiao Liu from the technical department.”
”Oh.” Zhao Qi thought for a moment, but she didn’t know him very well. ”Is he interested in you?”
”A male otaku, he means nothing.” Shi Shi twisted her mouth in disdain. ”He didn’t even dare to ask me to be his friend in person, instead he sent an email to me, and he even used the company email.”
Zhao Qi suggested, ”You shouldn’t fool him. Poor guy.”
”How could I fool him? I still need him to fix my computer when it breaks,” Shi Shi said with a sly grin.
Not long after, Shi Shi’s cell phone rang. The corresponding IP addresses of those IDs from the forum were shown. They all came from the same address, and the location of the IP addresses was confined to one area on the electronic map, precise to the street and the neighborhood.
”Holy moly, remarkable!” Zhao Qi stuck her tongue out. ”He is so amazing. You should hold him tight and stop daydreaming about getting a wealthy CEO!”
”Just this made me feel uneasy. What if this male otaku turns into a stalker, then I will be doomed,” Shi Shi said with a distressed look. She picked up the phone call and called, ”Thank you, Xiao Liu. You did a good job, as I expected… Hmm, okay, pick a day and invite me to dinner. Can’t be MPK… Hmm, I’m hanging up now.”
Zhao Qi thought she had misheard the conversation, as it didn’t sound logical to her. ”He did you a favor, and he has to invite you to dinner?”
”Of course! I gave him the chance to invite me to dinner! He should appreciate the opportunity I gave him!” Shi Shi responded proudly.
”What is MPK?”
”McDonald’s, Pizza Hut, Kentucky Fried Chicken. These male otaku always invite girls to those places for dinners.” Shi Shi urged, ”No more talking, hurry up! We have to go to the coffee shop soon!”
Zhao Qi had no choice but to shake her head and say, ”Forget it! I don’t care anymore!”
She was searching ”Stars Pet Chain Supermarket” on the electronic map. There were two results in range of the city: one, a directly managed Stars store, was located in the western region; the other, a Stars franchise store, was located in the eastern region. After comparing it with the map on Shi Shi’s phone, the spies were in the franchise store.
Now the evidence was irrefutable.
After deleting some private information, she posted the unambiguous evidence, in photo form, on the forum, including their IDs, the corresponding IP addresses, and the map locations.
