302 Whats Blackmail Between Friends? (2/2)
”…You know too much.” Ye Shuang chuckled darkly.
”Actually, I know more than that.” Edward continued in a lazy tone that was bound to find him enemies. ”Cedrick is a cunning little rat. Finding his information is not simple but not too hard either. At least five or six people I know can do something like that… But the thing is, Cedrick himself is very sensitive, and it is not going to be easy to escape his detection. Secondly, even if you manage to escape Cedrick's radar, there is the FBI watching him…
”You got his address or location but did not tip off anyone. There aren't that many people in the world who can do that. Let me think, let me think…”
Edward then screamed an exaggerated, ”Wow! I just came up with a surprising possibility! Quite some time ago, I heard Anthony became employed to a Chinese woman. Is this his handiwork?”
Ye Shuang was silent for a moment before turning to ask Su Zheng, ”Since you've known Ol' K for so long, do you mind asking him if Tony is that famous in the hacker's circle?”
”He's not only famous, Sister Shuang!” Su Zheng was shocked. ”Don't tell me you only know that Anthony is good at computers?”
Ye Shuang was ashamed. ”I indeed don't know much about it. Can you give me some examples?”
”…Actually, I'm not that sure either.” Su Zheng thought about it and then said, ”In any case, Ol' K said he's very good… Sigh, I'm a skillful worker. These types of computer and professional work are not for me.”
Then why did you sound so confident earlier‽ Ye Shuang was indignant.
On the phone, Edward did not understand Chinese, so he had no idea what the two girls were talking about. When the two girls went silent, Edward finally continued to ask impatiently, ”It really is Anthony, right?”
”If the Anthony you said is the one with golden hair, blue eyes, and baby face… then probably yes.” Ye Shuang sighed. ”I'm surprised so many people have been following Tony's movements.”
”Intelligence crime can always catch people off-guard, especially through the use of internet…” Edward did not hide anything from her. ”You probably don't know how desperate the government and the powerful are in recruiting hackers. The best hackers in the world are either in jail or working for powerful organizations or the government. Anthony is the only one who is free to do anything he wants. He is the only exception to the rule, so you cannot imagine how many eyeballs he manages to attract on his own.”
Suddenly feeling like firing him… Ye Shuang brushed Edward off on the whole while she grabbed Su Zheng's phone to send message to Anthony. The content of the message was simple. Ye Shuang only had one question—Ever since Anthony decided to stay at San Lin City, how many people had secretly stolen her information before?
Anthony probably planned to get to work after helping Ye Shuang, so he was not asleep, and his reply came soon. ”Ha ha! None of them got it!”
Meaning people had been investigating her, and there was more than one. Suddenly, Ye Shuang felt the world turn dark.
”In any case, give me Cedrick's address.” Edward had no idea Ye Shuang was already thinking about another thing, and he continued the earlier topic. ”I will observe the happenings from afar, and I promise to not disturb you… Don't be too stingy, you have to know that even though it is not easy for me to investigate Cedrick, it is very easy for me to alert him!”
What the f*ck! The fat foreigner dares to threaten us? Ye Shuang gritted her teeth, ”Champs-Élysées No. XX. We're only going to be there for thirty minutes, so we're leaving at 12:50 pm sharp. Don't blame me if you cannot find us!”
”Champs-Élysées No. XX?” The sound of that did not befit Edward came from his end. Different from his usual laziness, there was the sound of him putting on the coat quickly and hurring out the door. ”That is perfect, I'm just nearby. No need for thirty minutes, I'll be there in five!”
Ha ha… Looks like it's not only the Chinese who liked to spectate interesting things… Ye Shuang thought to herself.
