576: Li Nanli And His Horde Of Sock Puppets - 2

Li Nanli And His Horde Of Sock Puppets - 2

Gu Yanqi entered the room to tell Fu Zhi and Li Nanli that the meal was ready. 

Fu Zhi was typing away on the keyboard. When she heard Gu Yanqi's voice, she said, "You guys go ahead without me. I have a score to settle right now, so I'll join you later."

Gu Yanqi then opened the door to the study.

Li Nanli replied without even raising his head. "I'm doing something personal. Give me five minutes."

Gu Yanqi did not know what to say.

'Why do I have a feeling that you two are talking about the same matter?'

Keeping his head low, Li Nanli destroyed 80% of the firewall on the website effortlessly. Just when he was about to press forward, something happened.

The screen of his laptop suddenly became blurry, and a line of white code appeared at the bottom of the screen.

It was a familiar scene, and Li Nanli's heart skipped a beat. 

He pressed his lips tightly and squinted his eyes. He did not do anything. He just watched his screen.

The captain of the 2nd division realized something was not right and asked, "What's going on?"

"They have changed their maintenance programmer," Li Nanli replied. "Which company owns this website?"

After all, there was no way a small company could afford a programmer of this caliber. 

The captain of the 2nd division fell silent for a moment before saying, "It's an illegal company. They've detained the captains of the 4th and 5th divisions. We want to save them, so we came to you."

The captain of the 3rd division also chimed in, "Is it that hard? Do you want us to help? You don't have to share your points with us."

"That's not necessary," Li Nanli said flatly as he put his fingers on the keyboard. "I can deal with it myself."

He sounded as if they were too incompetent to work with him. Besides, it was not the sheer number of these people that was going to take this website down.

When he had first come in, ten or so programmers had tried to hold him off but had not managed to do it. However, now that they had changed programmers, things were different. He took control over the entire situation in just a few minutes and successfully removed the virus that Li Nanli had planted in their mainframe.

Li Nanli looked at the virus on his laptop. 

There was a white rabbit on his screen right now. It was nibbling on a carrot before spitting at Li Nanli. 

Its ears were fully erect, as if it was telling him that he should not mess with it. 

Li Nanli had no idea why but instead of getting angry, he found the rabbit adorable. 

He raised his brows and put both his hands back on the keyboard. It seemed like he was ready to have a competition with the programmer on the other side. 

Generally speaking, a hacker competition would be held every year, be it at home or abroad, and the competition held by the Hacker Alliance was a lot harder. In addition to the written test, they had to go through a series of other matches, such as 1V1, 1V5, and even 1V100. 

They had to attack by installing viruses in each other's computers while maintaining the security and protection of their personal computers. 

—

Fu Zhi's face sank when she saw the other side had begun to fight back. She exited her game and turned her attention to the computer, her hands dancing on the keyboard with feline grace. 

Jiang Ningbei sent a text message to her. [How's it going? It seems to me that he's getting into the Fu Corporation's website. Are you sure you can deal with him?]

[Yes. Don't worry,] Fu Zhi replied.

In the meantime, the atmosphere in the International Crimes Unit was tense. 

None of them could get an edge over the other. As they watched the website with bated breath, something happened and the tide began to turn.

Li Nanli spotted a loophole and successfully implanted a virus. Then, his screen lit up. He squinted his eyes and felt stunned when he saw the words "The Fu Corporation".

'The Fu Corporation? Huh? What's going on here?'

The voice of the captain of the 2nd division erupted from his phone. "That's brilliant! There is another 10% to go before we will be able to get into their database!"

"So it has been the Fu Corporation this whole time?" Li Nanli asked, his voice dripping with venom.

The heart of the captain of the 2nd division leaped into his throat as he answered, "Yes."

"I'm out of here," Li Nanli said. "I'll settle this with you guys later."

After saying that, he took the headset off and hung up the call.

It was the same rabbit, carrot, virus software, and tactics as before…

Li Nanli looked toward the bedroom.

Sitting on the couch, Fu Zhi frowned when she noticed that the virus had stopped attacking.

'Huh? Is he giving up? No! This is not going to happen!'

Fu Zhi did not care to know why he had suddenly disappeared, but she was not going to give up on such a good opportunity.

Her fingers danced nimbly, and she soon pinpointed the location of the hacker.

"He's in Myanmar too?" 

Just as she was about to get deeper into it, a hand appeared and closed her laptop. 

While tracking an IP address, once the computer was on standby, not only would she lose the IP address, but it would also give the other side a chance to track her back! 

"It's late," Li Nanli said. "Let's go eat."

Fu Zhi was speechless.

'I don't have an appetite right now, alright? Can't you see that I'm in the middle of something?'

As if he could read her mind, Li Nanli cleared his throat and said, "I've ordered a cup of milk tea for you."

It had taken only a few seconds for him to run from his study to the bedroom, so he was certain that Fu Zhi had not discovered his IP address.

'That's more like it.'

Fu Zhi's face lightened up. 

Perhaps she was confident that she could get to the captain of the 1st division, as she soon pushed this matter to the back of her mind.

Li Nanli then asked, "Are you thinking about your games?"

"Nope, I almost got the IP address of a scumbag who likes to steal other people's belongings," Fu Zhi replied.

Li Nanli did not know what to say. 

'I got this position through hard work. Is that not enough to make you fall in love with me?'

With that thought in mind, Li Nanli pressed on. "Can you tell me more about it?"

"Do you know about the International Crimes Unit?"2

"I've heard of it before, but I have no idea what they do."

"You don't have to know that," Fu Zhi said flatly. "He took my position from me, so that makes him the vilest person in the world!"

Li Nanli was at a loss for words. 

He had always thought that Fu Zhi did not care about the position at all, but it now seemed to him that he had been wrong. 

"So… Are you not impressed by this new captain? Even though he has received so many points for completing missions in just a few days?"

Fu Zhi replied, "Don't you think that the system in the International Crimes Unit is creating anxiety amongst the members? We have to get up early and start working. There are plenty of jobs waiting for us, yet they only pay us minimum wage. Not only that, but we don't have any access to anything. The new captain of the 1st division is really naive. He has completely become their slave. When I was the captain, I was just loitering around, reading information about different bigshots from various industries that I had zero interest in, yet they still gave me paychecks."

Fu Zhi did not like the new captain of the 1st division at all. 

"Let's not talk about him. I think he's a bad person, and you'll be influenced by him if you focus too much on him."

Li Nanli did not know what to say. He did not believe that getting close to the captain of the 1st division would have a bad influence on him. After all, he was the captain. 

That said, Li Nanli was not going to tell Fu Zhi about it. 

He asked, "Have you read the profile of Z God before?"

"Nope. I've never read her profile before, and I don't know who she is," Fu Zhi replied without any hesitation. 

Li Nanli squinted his eyes and looked at her as though he was smelling something fishy.

Noticing his gaze, Fu Zhi continued. "We're going back tonight. Let's go down and eat so we won't miss the flight."

—

The news of Li Nanli hanging up on them soon spread across the entire International Crimes Unit. 

Everyone knew that the International Crimes Unit was a goner. If even the captain of the 1st division did not have the guts to go up against the Fu Family, nobody would. 

The previous captain of the 1st division had now become the captain of the 8th division and had a wicked heart that nobody dared to mess with. 

"What's your opinion about what happened today?" the captain of the 2nd division asked. 

"Fu Zhi doesn't even consider us her family!" 

"That's right! Although she's capable, she has never completed a mission before. No wonder she was assigned to the 8th division!"

"But I hear that the captain commander is going to transfer a few members from our divisions to the 8th division. Of course, if anyone wants to leave their division, they can go to the official page to sign up and apply in advance."

"Who's going to do that? I'm not! I'll make it very clear. She destroyed my brother, so I swear to God I'll bring down the entire Fu Corporation!"

"But if we join the 8th division, we could get closer to the Fu Corporation. Besides, we might be able to get to know some of the most famous hackers in the world, and we could even ask Fu Zhi to teach us how to drive like her!"

"No. If you want to go, you go. I'm not going. What about you guys?"

"No! We're not going either!" 

—

After Fu Zhi left the Li Mansion, she switched her phone on and received a lot of applications from people who wanted to join her division. 

The mailbox was full of various professional profiles, and it seemed as if they were applying for a job.

[Name: Zhang San

Height: 188 centimeters

Weight: 155 pounds

I don't have any bad habits. I would really like to work with Ms. Fu, and I hope you can give me a chance.]

[My name is Xu Liu, and I'm the former vice-captain of the 1st division. I've heard of your great name, and I hope to forge ahead and create new outstanding achievements with you.]

Fu Zhi did not know what she should say. She ignored them and called Ye Jiu.

"I'm coming to pick you up, so be ready."

This was the first time Ye Jiu returned to Iris Time Villa to see Xu Wei after the surgery. Therefore, he did not know how to face Xu Wei.

He stood nervously in front of his house and asked Fu Zhi, "Did you tell mom why I was taken in for surgery?"

Just as Fu Zhi was about to say something, the door to the mansion was opened. 

Xu Wei was taking out the trash, but her eyes turned red when she saw Fu Zhi and Ye Jiu.

Ye Jiu opened his arms and said, "Don't cry, mom. Although I'm the victim, I…"

Slap!

Xu Wei slapped Ye Jiu hard on the cheek, cutting him off.

Then, she took a chair, stood on it, and pinched his ear. "How dare you! I wouldn't have known if Zhizhi hadn't told me. How dare you sell your kidney just to buy a new gaming console?!"

Ye Jiu was dumbfounded.

'I did what?'

Fu Zhi then added, "Your parents are the ones who gave you your body. Therefore, it's unforgivable for you to sell your kidney for a gaming console."

Ye Jiu did not know what to say. He should not have depended on Fu Zhi so much. 

In the past, Xu Wei had thought Ye Jiu was just joking when he'd said he didn't have enough money to spend. She hadn't expected that he would really go and sell his kidney to buy himself a gaming console. 

"Even your sister is more mature than you! How could you sell your kidney? Don't you know that it's going to harm your body a lot?"

Xu Wei had not had an appetite for a few days after Fu Zhi had told her about Ye Jiu's condition. Had Fu Zhi not told her this to buy Ye Jiu some time, she would've gone to see him already.

Ye Jiu's face contorted in pain. "Mom, please forgive me. Can you stop pinching my ear?"

Xu Wei let go of Ye Jiu and said, "I'm going to take out the trash. You go back and rest. If anyone tells you to sell your kidney, remember to beat them with a shovel, okay?" 

Ye Jiu scratched his nose in embarrassment. "But mom, I'm a kid. I can't do such a violent thing."

"Don't worry, I've bought a cute shovel for you," Xu Wei said as she pulled a pink shovel from behind her back. "Look at it. It's so pink. I'm sure whoever gets hit by this will feel very happy about it."

Ye Jiu and Fu Zhi did not know what to say.
