Chapter 426 - Chapter 426: Chapter 270: After All This, Ive Become a Spy?_2 (2/2)
Suddenly!
Yu Qin turned her head sharply to Lucas, “No, it doesn’t necessarily need a spy. If he hacked into our computers, doesn’t that mean he could have stolen our plan?”
Lucas’s expression froze, “Logically speaking, that’s the case, but…”
“Go on,” Yu Qin urged.
Lucas quickly waved his hands, “With Lin Chuan’s skills, it’s impossible for him to breach our Morgan Group’s cyber defenses.”
“Impossible?”
Yu Qin looked at Lucas with doubt, “I might not understand hacking as well as you, but I do know one thing—there’s no such thing as an impenetrable wall. Is your firewall really that secure?”
Lucas’s throat felt dry, and with slight guilt, he said, “We have repeatedly strengthened it, and moreover, only on my computer can you find some evidence of the plan, specifically regarding the Hass Armed Forces. He would want to invade my computer, I dare say, it’s absolutely impossible!”
His voice grew louder as he spoke.
He wanted to use volume to boost his own confidence.
After all, Karl, one of the top ten hackers globally, had been bested by Lin Chuan twice. His hacker team under Lucas’s management was still far behind AW.
Lucas’s mouth was tough, but in his heart, he was clearer on this point than anyone.
“Really impossible?” Yu Qin asked back.
“Er…”
Lucas hesitated, “Well, I’ll immediately order a thorough inspection of our internal networks, leaving no stone unturned, to ensure there are no oversights!”
Yu Qin nodded.
During this critical period, an intensive inspection was indeed necessary.
Otherwise, she would be at a great disadvantage!
Facing an opponent who was insightful about all her cards and who possessed strong capabilities and backing, she had little confidence of coming out on top.
“So, what’s next?” Lucas inquired.
Yu Qin thought for a moment, “I have a plan in mind, but it’s best kept under wraps for now. Let’s discuss it after the results of your network inspection come through.”
“Alright!” Lucas nodded.
Three’s Company was now down to two. They needed to resolve their internal doubts to present a united front against Lin Chuan. Any discord at this time could spell danger.
…
The night sky in Southeast Asia glowed a soothing blue.
However, the night in Anling by the Han River brightened up.
Though it was the same time zone, it was undoubtedly a different day. The overcast weather during the day cleared up by night, revealing a vast expanse of sky that brought a refreshing comfort and a feeling of exhilaration.
The best part was, looking up, one could see the half-moon through the sparse clouds, casting a halo around it.
Tonight.
Lin Chuan had specially treated Shen Qianqian and Xia Qingqing to a hot pot dinner.
These two had put in the most effort recently.
They deserved a heartfelt thanks.
At the same time.
Lin Chuan’s phone was incessantly busy with the constant ‘ding-dong ding-dong’ and ‘ring-ring-ring’ sounds.
Calls and messages were coming in non-stop.
Many people were reaching out, holding conversations with Lin Chuan to various extents.
This even included a few captains from the police station.
Even Elder Zhong had sent a special message, which was quite flattering for Lin Chuan.
This atmosphere was entirely different from when Yu Qin received calls and messages.
Among them.
The person who asked the most frequent and most earnest questions was Lin Chuan’s editor, Youyou.
She was always keeping tabs on Lin Chuan’s whereabouts.
In the evening, the night was misty.
Youyou was walking down a street and sent a message to Lin Chuan, “Was the hot pot tonight good?”
“Not bad, how did you know I had hot pot?” Lin Chuan replied.
“Hehe, didn’t you mention it during your interview with the journalists today?” Youyou sent a sticking-out-tongue emoji.
“You take my casual comments seriously?” Lin Chuan replied with a smile.
“Of course!”
Youyou continued to walk, replying on her phone, “You know, even the chief editor and Wanning were concerned about the outcome of your lawsuit!”
“Haha, I’ve certainly made a stir,” Lin Chuan laughed and replied.
“Indeed, they’re worried that if you’re convicted, you won’t be able to write novels anymore!”
“Nonsense! I’m about to release a new book!”
