80: The dark web of the Abyss Organization!

"Your contact method is quite unconventional."

Inside the Yuantu Company President's office, Lan Zijun was feeling completely depressed at this moment.

For the past few days, she had been waiting for Abyss to contact her so she could help her best friend.

After all, Liang Yuzhu had always been very concerned about Lan Zijun's affairs, and whenever Lan Zijun was in trouble, she would try her best to rush over to help as soon as possible.

And now she had encountered big trouble, trouble so significant it even shook her confidence. From any perspective, Lan Zijun had to help her best friend.

Not to mention, she had always held great respect for those who risked their lives and carried heavy burdens for the safety of the public.

However, she hadn't expected that Abyss would simply disappear for five consecutive days, and when she saw him again, it was a dialogue box popping up directly on her computer.

What did this mean?

Lan Zijun could understand Abyss coming and going as he pleased in her company. After all, Yuantu Company had always been known for its relaxed management, and Lan Zijun didn't want employees to constantly feel like they were being monitored.

Lan Zijun didn't intend to change this style and atmosphere. Even if it led to certain security vulnerabilities, she chose not to care about these vulnerabilities until they substantially threatened the company.

But showing up directly on her computer to greet her was like digging a tunnel into Lan Zijun's bedroom.

Lan Zijun felt a faint ache in a certain part of her body that didn't exist.

Yes, I've given up resistance, and you can come and go in the company as you please. But can't you be a little less pushy?

Furthermore, her computer was the President's dedicated computer.

Although this computer was connected to the network, it was an internal network with a unified interface connecting to the internet externally.

In other words, if someone wanted to hack into this computer of hers, they would first have to bypass the company's firewall.

And the company rented a specialized 360 enterprise-grade high-defense server, with annual server fees reaching over three million yuan.

Although 360 was a rogue company, it had to be said that they did an extremely good job in defense; they were very professional. At least since the company was founded many years ago, there had never been any issues regarding data leaks.

Yet, in front of Abyss, it was completely like paper!

Where exactly did things go wrong?!

Also, what exactly did Abyss want to do?

Her face was expressionless, but the keyboard, which was being typed on so hard it was almost falling apart, revealed that her inner state was clearly not as calm as her expression made it seem.

"Don't worry, I have no intention of prying into your privacy," Su Yue said honestly. "I'm just here to establish a communication channel as agreed."

"Of course, you already know everything." Lan Zijun forced herself to swallow this sentence.

"What communication channel?" She suppressed the emotions in her heart and then spoke.

"It's this dialogue box," Su Yue casually sent a line of text. "This is a three-terminal interoperable program. From now on, all communication between you and me can be done through this program."

Only then did Lan Zijun notice that a small program had appeared on her desktop, without even an icon or a name.

"You could have chosen other ways to tell me," she typed coldly, feeling utterly powerless.

Her personality was very strong; she had always disliked anyone being above her.

But she found that when facing Abyss, she was completely helpless.

Because everything she could rely on was completely ineffective in front of Abyss.

In other words, although she was a favored daughter of heaven and a domineering female President in the eyes of outsiders, in front of Abyss, she was completely like a little lamb.

Delicate and powerless.

"Just did it on the fly, I'll be more careful next time," Su Yue chuckled inwardly.

His sudden appearance on Lan Zijun's computer was indeed a manifestation of his grassroots mischievousness acting up. However, this action was not entirely meaningless.

An intelligence organization has two key priorities.

The first is the confidentiality of its members.

By using computers and mobile phones purchased from the System, Su Yue achieved the feat of 'great concealment in the city'. No one could find him based on those unique digital codes or anything else from the devices.

As long as Su Yue didn't expose himself, then Li Haoyang's and Lin Jia's identities would naturally be safe. After all, these two were just operatives, nodes extending from the Intelligence Outpost, and were unlikely to attract much attention.

But achieving just this wasn't enough; Su Yue also needed to solve another problem, which was the confidentiality of the intelligence channels.

This channel was not only for collecting intelligence but also for transmitting and even selling it.

Using ordinary chat groups was simply impossible because ordinary chat groups have detection and review mechanisms. If certain keywords were mentioned frequently, or if the content's scale triggered the System's detection mechanism, it would likely attract the attention of interested parties.

Moreover, chat groups can be monitored in real-time. If someone with permission viewed the chat content in a group in real-time, Su Yue would have no way of knowing.

This kind of platform, which could be backstabbed at any time or lead to intelligence leaks, was clearly not what Su Yue needed. It could be said that all chat software on the market had the same drawbacks as groups.

The only option was for Su Yue to write a program himself. This program was very simple; there were countless tutorials online that even a fool could understand.

Anyway, it was just some extremely simple functions. Even if Su Yue couldn't handle it, Li Haoyang could whip it up in minutes; for the professional Li Haoyang, it was a trivial task.

However, while the functionality was easy to implement, there was a problem Su Yue couldn't solve.

He could hide his machine code, but he couldn't hide his physical IP. He didn't want all the information collection and processing to point to his Intelligence Outpost; that would be no different from running naked.

It was like secretly opening a courier station but not getting a business license. Although the authorities might not know you secretly set up a courier station, if they were determined, they could certainly spot clues from the logistics summaries.

Putting the so-called server-side with a server operator could be said to be the only solution, but whether the server operator itself was reliable was also a problem.

This world was ultimately a money-driven society; as the saying goes, money makes the mare go. The server itself was in someone else's hands, meaning that for the server administrator, there were no secrets within it either.

In fact, the large-scale leakage of personal information these days itself had a huge contribution from various so-called network administrators.

So for Su Yue, a reliable server was a necessity.

And when it came to reliable servers, was there anything better than Lan Zijun's Yuantu Company internal network?

Yuantu Company rented enterprise-grade servers, which had powerful information processing, transmission, and storage capabilities.

Because it was the company's internal network, it could block out most external prying eyes and tracking, and would not be searched by any crawler software.

Similarly, because it involved internal company secrets, its confidentiality was top-notch, with extremely strict password mechanisms. Except for state apparatuses, no unauthorized person could enter its internal network, let alone monitor it in real-time.

A system that could not be known to the outside world, was outside the regulatory framework, and had strict physical defense measures rather than ordinary program defenses. In the public's perception, such servers have a unique term.

Dark web.

In other words, Su Yue had built a dark web himself.

A dark web belonging exclusively to the Deep Abyss Organization!

Of course, such a dark web was not an independent server, which meant it also had a fatal weakness, because Lan Zijun, as the company President, theoretically had all permissions, as long as she gave the order.

But Su Yue wasn't worried about this because this person was Lan Zijun.

Leaving aside whether the non-professional Lan Zijun could realize this point, even if she did, as long as the Deep Abyss Organization didn't harm her, she would likely remain inactive.

After all, the Deep Abyss Organization's first transaction with her saved her life!

Although this life-saving act was completed in the form of a transaction, at least Lan Zijun could confirm from this point that the Deep Abyss Organization, in a sense, could be considered her ally.

Most importantly, Su Yue believed that Lan Zijun had actually given up resistance in front of the Deep Abyss Organization. Even if he set up the dark web within her company's internal network and she found out, she would only exclaim, 'As expected of Abyss, truly impressive.'

This was the result of Su Yue's continuous effort to maintain a detached posture in front of Lan Zijun. Just like at this moment, even though Lan Zijun clearly suspected he had hacked into her computer, she didn't have any excessive reaction.

After all, Abyss had caused trouble in her company more than once or twice. Even her President's office, despite such precautions, was brazenly entered by Abyss, who miraculously carried away forty million yuan.

Hacking a computer or something similar was truly a minor matter; Lan Zijun was probably already as calm as an ancient well.

Don't look at her still questioning at this moment, but her questions clearly revealed her weakness and powerlessness.

Sure enough, Lan Zijun's message popped up: "Abyss, I have something important to discuss with you!"

"Looking for me?" Su Yue was slightly taken aback.

He hadn't expected that Lan Zijun was actually waiting for him.

Important matter? Having just resolved Qian Boda's trouble, what important matter could Lan Zijun have?

Could it be that this woman's ability to get into trouble exceeded his imagination?

"What important matter?" he replied, puzzled.

"I'd like to ask you to investigate a company, Sihai Shipping!" Lan Zijun's mood seemed a bit anxious. She didn't even have any unnecessary words but went straight to the point.

"What aspect do you want to investigate?" Su Yue's confusion deepened.

Although he had now become the owner of an underground Intelligence Outpost, his public identity was still an employee under Lan Zijun, a member of Yuantu Company's Market Research Department.

He certainly knew very well that there was absolutely no business interaction between Yuantu Company and Sihai Shipping. After all, Yuantu Company was essentially a service provider primarily focused on municipal services, a completely local enterprise, and had not developed any overseas business at all.

Even if it did expand, because it provided services rather than products, it would basically not involve shipping.

"I want to investigate Sihai Shipping's smuggling issues!"
