109: Chapter 109 Ghost Transforms into Cyber ​​Bodyguard, CEO Luo Personally Feeds Him Medicine!

The basement was filled with the smell of Laotan pickled cabbage beef noodles.

Old K sat in front of three massive curved screens.

His fingers tapped on the mechanical keyboard, leaving afterimages.

The computer screens were filled with rows of frantically scrolling green code.

“These grandsons who take money to do dirty work.”

“They post pretty fast.”

Old K cursed under his breath as he took a bite of the soggy instant noodles.

He was currently executing the instructions Lin Yan had just given him.

He was preparing to use a botnet to paralyze several major internet troll forums under Li Fengtian.

For a rogue hacker of his caliber,

this kind of job was practically a dimensionality reduction strike.

Old K hit the final Enter key,

ready to launch the attack program.

A blood-red warning box suddenly popped up on the screen.

Old K froze for a moment.

He swallowed the noodles in his mouth.

“Holy crap.”

“What's the situation?”

Old K quickly pulled up the backend monitoring data.

He discovered an incredibly overbearing data stream frantically pouring into the servers of those troll forums.

This force wasn't performing a conventional DDoS attack at all.

It was directly modifying the servers' underlying logic.

Simply put,

it was as if someone were using a giant iron sledgehammer

to smash Li Fengtian's troll base into smithereens.

Old K's eyes widened.

He watched the web pages on the screen instantly turn into 404 errors.

This simple, crude, yet highly efficient attack method—

he had only ever seen it used by one person.

Old K immediately began a reverse IP trace along that data stream.

The code on the screen scrolled rapidly.

The speed of Old K's typing became faster and faster.

“This firewall is interesting.”

“It actually uses seven layers of nested encryption.”

“But it's still not enough to stop me.”

Old K cursed.

He directly bypassed the peripheral honeypot traps

and dove straight into the opponent's core database.

The result left him dumbfounded the moment he entered.

The data inside had been wiped clean.

Only a massive skull icon remained on the screen, mocking him.

The opponent had no intention of hiding their tracks at all.

Old K sucked in a breath of cold air.

Even the plastic fork in his hand dropped onto the desk.

He immediately grabbed his phone from the desk

and dialed Lin Yan's number.

The phone rang several times before it was picked up.

“Old Lin.”

“Something huge has happened.”

Old K's voice cracked with excitement.

“Has President Luo's five billion in funding arrived?”

Lin Yan's weak voice came through the receiver.

He was currently being pinned down on the hospital bed by Luo Qingcheng.

If he even moved a finger, that woman would glare at him.

“It's not about the money.”

“It's that crazy woman, Su Wanqing.”

Old K shouted into the phone.

When Lin Yan heard that name,

his hand gripping the phone tightened.

“What did she do now?”

Lin Yan had just driven Su Wanqing away with the harshest words possible in the ward.

He thought that the arrogant Mrs. Chen had been completely crushed.

She should be hiding in some corner questioning her life right now.

“She’s freaking gone mad on the Dark Web.”

“The three main troll bases under Li Fengtian—”

“she took them all out by herself.”

“She even formatted their backup servers.”

Old K looked at the battle damage data that was still increasing on his screen.

“Now the hackers across the entire Dark Web are watching the show.”

“Ghost is personally taking action to scrub the negative press for Shenghai Group.”

“Whoever dares to take Li Fengtian's orders again—”

“will have a devastating Trojan planted on their computer.”

Old K swallowed hard.

“What kind of stimulus did this woman get?”

“She wanted to skin you alive before.”

“How did she suddenly become your cyber bodyguard?”

Listening to Old K's report,

the air in the ward seemed to grow thin.

Luo Qingcheng sat nearby.

She watched Lin Yan's rapidly changing expression.

“What happened?”

Luo Qingcheng asked in a low voice.

Lin Yan didn't answer her.

He turned his gaze toward the window.

His max-level Empathy Talent triggered automatically at this moment.

Images flashed in his mind of Su Wanqing breaking down and crying in the stairwell while looking at that bill for 4.12 million.

He saw the way she had just gripped his sleeve in the ward with pleading eyes.

Lin Yan closed his eyes.

He understood the psychological logic of a monomaniac like Su Wanqing all too well.

Four years of hatred.

Four years of hunting.

The moment the truth was revealed,

it all turned into a massive mountain crushing Su Wanqing's soul.

She realized she had hated the wrong person.

She realized the 'villain' she had been hunting

was actually the only benefactor who had ever reached out to her in the abyss.

This kind of immense moral debt

was enough to drive a normal person insane.

For Su Wanqing,

she could not forgive the version of herself that had returned kindness with enmity.

She had to find an outlet.

She had to use an even more extreme method to repay this unpayable kindness.

Her obsession hadn't disappeared;

it had simply shifted its target.

From 'I want to kill Lin Yan,'

it had rapidly twisted into 'Only I am allowed to touch him.'

Whoever dared to touch Lin Yan at this time

was Su Wanqing's mortal enemy.

Li Fengtian releasing negative info to attack Lin Yan at this juncture

happened to run straight into the crosshairs of a top-tier hacker like Su Wanqing.

Ghost's fury

directly burned Li Fengtian's network defenses to ashes.

“Old K.”

“Don't mind her.”

Lin Yan said into the phone.

“Let her smash things.”

“Let her draw all of Li Fengtian's attention to the Dark Web.”

“You focus on cooperating with the trading department.”

“Use President Luo's five billion to eat up Zhou Ming's chips.”

Lin Yan's tone was incredibly calm.

He was treating Su Wanqing as an unexpectedly borrowed blade.

“Understood.”

“With that woman holding the front,”

“the pressure on us is much smaller.”

Old K hung up the phone.

Lin Yan put down his phone.

The stabbing pain in his stomach began to flare up again.

He curled his body up

and buried his head in the pillow.

Seeing him in pain,

Luo Qingcheng quickly stood up and poured a glass of warm water.

“Take your medicine first.”

Luo Qingcheng held the water glass to Lin Yan's lips.

Though her movements were a bit stiff,

the concern in her eyes was unmistakable.

Lin Yan took a sip of water from Luo Qingcheng's hand.

He swallowed those few cheap stomach pills.

“What did Old K say just now?”

“What is Li Fengtian's next move?”

Luo Qingcheng used a tissue to help Lin Yan wipe away the medicine residue from the corner of his mouth.

“It's nothing.”

“Someone took care of the trolls for us.”

Lin Yan leaned against the headboard.

He looked at Luo Qingcheng's cold and elegant face so close to his own.

He didn't know how to explain Su Wanqing's abnormal behavior to Luo Qingcheng.

If these two women actually faced off,

it would be an absolute disaster.

Just as Lin Yan was thinking of how to bluff his way through,

a noisy set of footsteps suddenly came from outside the ward.

Judging by the sound, there were quite a few people.

Luo Qingcheng frowned.

She turned her head toward the door.

“Didn't I have the bodyguards lock down this floor?”

“How can so many people be coming up?”

Luo Qingcheng stood up, ready to go out and see.

With a loud bang,

the ward door was forced open from the outside.

Luo Qingcheng's two black-clad bodyguards were shoved inside while being restrained.

Following them,

two burly men wearing snow-white cotton gloves

pushed in a massive medical instrument flashing with various indicator lights.

That was the most advanced bedside vital signs monitor in the world.

It was worth several million.

Hardly any could be found in the entire Jianghai City.

The instrument was pushed directly to Lin Yan's bedside,

occupying the workspace that originally belonged to Luo Qingcheng.

Luo Qingcheng's expression darkened instantly.

Just as she was about to lose her temper,

a woman wearing a pure black velvet long dress walked into the ward.

Qin Muxue held that old book of poetry with frayed edges in her hand.

Her gaze bypassed the furious Luo Qingcheng

and fell directly on Lin Yan on the hospital bed.

Her eyes shimmered with a fanatical light that made one's scalp tingle.
