Facing anyone else, Song Ling could have taken immediate action, but the one before him was Jiang Yue, and without concrete evidence, he couldn’t rashly harm her.
After returning to his company, Song Ling received an encrypted call.
Baua, with a hint of excitement, inquired, “Brother, are you participating in the hacking competition?”
Song Ling, puzzled, asked, “Hacking competition?”
Baua, surprised, explained, “You haven’t heard of it? It’s starting today in the Capital, and I remember you’re in the Capitaltoo. Didn’t you get an invitation?” Recalling an envelope he had seen recently, Song Ling pressed his temple and apologized, “Sorry, some family issues came up. I won’t be able to make it this time.”
Baua urged, “This hacking competition is a rare opportunity. It might be years before the next one. We’ve known each other for years but only online. Please come this time; it’d be great to meet in person.”
Remembering the help Baua had given him with company problems, Song Ling agreed, “Okay, send me the address.”contemporary romance
The competition was held in a scenic manor on the outskirts, complete with fountains, swimming pools, and lush greenery.
Although it was an offline event, the participants maintained a sense of mystery, wearing masks and voice changers upon entry.
Gu Dai and Su Ting, masked, presented their tickets and entered together.
Gu Dai’s figure drew much attention. Among the many hackers, women were scarce, especially beautiful ones.
Men gathered, whispering among themselves.
“Her figure looks great, but how good can her hacking skills be?”
“She must have tagged along with some guy. After all, there’s no rule against bringing friends.”
“I think so too. After all, hacking is such a difficult skill. How could a woman, especially a beautiful one, have the patience and focus to learn it? With that time, they’d surely prefer to find a man to date and swindle money from him.”
Gu Dai stopped, her gaze cool as she addressed them, “The masks and voice changers hide your faces, allowing your vile souls to emerge unchecked.”
The murmurers, taken aback by her words, struggled to maintain their composure. They retorted, “Did we say anything wrong? Do you even understand coding?”
Su Ting’s gaze grew colder, “I didn’t expect the world’s top hackers to have such low qualities in reality.”
Gu Dai nodded in agreement, then, pulling out her laptop she suggested, “Let’s have a match.”
The men laughed derisively, “You’re out of your depth. We won’t go easy on you. Don’t cry when you lose.”
Gu Dai sneered.
A dedicated area was set up for the hacking showdown.
At first, their faces were adorned with smiles. However, as time passed, their smiles gradually faded, giving way to expressions of tension. Fine beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads, and their facial features contorted with stress. Staring at the glaring ‘FAIL’ on the screen, they eventually slumped over the desk, drained and powerless.
They were in disbelief, “How could this be? My code, so easily breached? This is the best I can do!”
Gu Dai tilted her head, her voice light yet mocking, “Is this all you’re capable of?”
Although Gu Dai’s voice was soft, it was full of mockery. After hearing this, their faces all changed.
The scene caught Baua’s attention, who excitedly turned to Song Ling, “Brother, that woman is incredible. She defeated so many top hackers. I doubt even I could win against her.”
Song Ling responded absentmindedly, the woman’s figure seeming familiar, reminiscent of… Gu Dai.
The defeated hackers, faces flushed with embarrassment, finally managed to utter, “You must have cheated to beat so many of us!”
“If she cheated, that only proves she’s more formidable.”
Gu Dai’s eyes followed the voice, spotting a man in a black suit descending from the second floor, his stature and proportions perfect..
