Chapter 512 - The Rookie (1/2)

Mo Jue’s Mansion.

Ye Wei spent her days in the mansion going online, playing games, reading novels, and looking up information about the firearms market and world of hitmen. She, in her interest, tried to take on the internal defenses of others. Ye Wei’s computer skills, although borne out of special training, could not be compared to skilled experts like the Mo brothers and Ning Ning. She, however, was still a remarkable hacker who was comparable to the middle-tier international hackers and was a substantial threat when attacking somebody else’s internal defenses.

She was extremely bored and took on whichever triad she did not like. One had to know that most international triads had their own complete internal defenses with their own experts manning them that were hard to break into. Ye Wei, who was a thrill-seeker, had Mo Jue to fall back on if she lost since n.o.body could counter-track Ye Wei.

When Mo Jue returned from Mo Ye’s mansion, Ye Wei happened to be challenging the internal defenses of the terrorist organization. She accurately guessed the decryption and secret codes and reached the innermost section. Just as she managed to glean Jason’s information, her screen suddenly went black and a series of cryptic codes flashed across the screen. The screen then displayed another image of a virtual city as the terrorist organization got down to counter-tracking her.

Ye Wei whistled. She had been challenging the internal defenses of the international triads for the past few days and was successful enough to break through and view their cla.s.sified information. Mo Jue would often use his computer skills to take a sneak peek at others’ secrets and could effectively collaborate with them and maximize his illegal gains. He knew that Ye Wei was a fun-lover and would get tired of doing the same. Since such thrill-seeking escapades would help her kill time, Mo Jue hence did not stop her.

It was afraid that he did not expect Ye Wei to take on the terrorist organization.

While her memory was wiped, her skills were not. Although Ye Wei knew that Mo Jue was hiding something from her, she did not distrust Mo Jue and could sense that Mo Jue genuinely liked her. Ye Wei was willing to forgive such a minor transgression unless she was foolish enough to suspect what Mo Jue was hiding from her.

She wanted to look up what Mo Jue was unwilling to tell her. Eleven belonged to the terrorist organization while she did not. As long as she managed to access the terrorist organization’s network, she would know whether there was information.

When Mo Jue went to see Mo Ye, she used the window of opportunity but did not expect her opponent to intercept her and counter-attack her once she saw Jason’s information.

Ye Wei was extremely confident of her abilities and was thinking of merely hiding or escaping if she was discovered. If she was defeated, there was always a second time. Since the reputation of the terrorist organization was as it was, people would not simply breach its information security apparatus. She was wrong this time. She, in precedent, continued challenging the organization and adopted delaying tactics to delay the opponent and spread her opponents’ focus.

Little did she expect herself to be utterly defeated after a few rounds in under five minutes. “No way!?” Ye Wei stared in disbelief.

When she tangled with others previously, she would be able to duke it out with the other party for hundreds of rounds over two hours. If she was willing, she could tangle with her opponent for a whole morning. She was instead defeated in a few minutes.

Beautiful Ye Wei was unwilling to simply give in and continued fighting. Her opponent seemed to have figured out her M.O. and quickly defeated her.

Quick, hard-hitting, accurate—if this were the battlefield, her opponent did not expend any unnecessary effort.

F***, who the d.a.m.n heck was so bada**?

“Who are you?!” Ye Wei could not ask.

“Haven’t you learned to identify yourself????” the other party replied.

Ye Wei’s eyes twitched at the number of question marks at the end of her opponent’s reply. “Mafia…” She could not help but reply.

“What a rookie we have here. P*** off for I have no time for you,” came the reply.

Rookie????

Ye Wei stared in immense disbelief at how she was called a rookie. She was willing to bet that this was the first time she was called a rookie after spending so many years on the island.

‘F*** this! I’m gonna waste you!’ Ye Wei did all she could to try to attack her opponent, but her opponent was unfazed.

“Challenge me at your own demise,” was the reply.

‘Do I look like I grew up being shocked into coercion?’ Ye Wei harrumphed in indignation and changed her tactics. She took her opponent on again but was defeated in moments.

A b.l.o.o.d.y picture of what seemed like a virtual explosion suddenly flashed across the screen like a prophecy. Ye Wei was extremely shocked and realized that her internal defenses were gradually crumbling.

Her face suddenly changed. Game over! Since Mo Jue designed this internal defense system as well as the Mafia’s internal defense system, all the information would have been lost if Mo Jue was not present when somebody else attacked.

She secretly cursed at how she must have encountered a tough nut.

Ye Wei quickly hammered away on the keyboard and keyed in all the commands she knew could defuse the situation. They were to no avail and could not stop the offensive her opponent was waging that ate at her defenses.

F*** this man. You’re too bada**.

“Gorgeous Mo Jue, help!” Ye Wei closed her eyes and screamed. If Gorgeous Mo Jue did not return, she would be at her opponent’s mercy.

The screen suddenly became scrambled, and all the commands on the screen intersected each other in a mess and continually scrolled on the screen. Ye Wei was dazed from the rolling commands and beads of sweat broke out on her forehead.

A flurry of footsteps suddenly followed and Mo Jue’s slightly panicked look was reflected on the screen. When Ye Wei was about to rejoice, the computer suddenly gave a series of warning beeps. Mo Jue’s face changed. Ye Wei quickly stood up and pulled Mo Jue to sit down. “I was attached,” she said in a panic.

Mo Jue did not ask anything and he sternly looked at the rolling commands on the screen. He suddenly turned to look at Ye Wei as though she was an idiot. Ye Wei had an innocent look on her face. Could she be blamed?

“What nonsense is this!” Mo Jue grumbled as though he disliked what he saw. Ye Wei hit Mo Jue’s head, and Mo Jue then stopped grumbling and punched a series of commands into the keyboard again.

A moment later, the screen became normal. Ye Wei extremely wors.h.i.+pped how the experts made it all seem like a child’s play. Ye Wei tapped Mo Jue’s shoulders and cheered him on. “Gorgeous Mo Jue, waste him! He just humiliated me!”

Mo Jue looked at her flatly as though she was the first to call the kettle black.

“You don’t believe me?” Ye Wei accused him.

Mo Jue shook his head. He clearly knew that given Ye Wei’s character, he could not afford to ponder on the question for long.

“Whose internal defense is this?”

“The terrorist organization.”

Mo Jue’s hands paused and he turned to look at Ye Wei with a chilling gaze. Ye Wei’s heart thumped and she forced herself to be calm. “Why are you looking at me in this manner? Can’t I take them on?”

Mo Jue’s gaze was cold and solemn, and no typical person would have met his gaze. Ye Wei’s facade was about to give away when a word flashed across the screen.

Was there somebody else? Was the game about to continue?

A cute animation of a little piglet shaking its b.u.t.tocks followed the word.
