Gu Mang looked at Qin Fang. With two hands in her pockets, she walked towards Lu Chengzhou calmly. The man put down the cup in his hand and passed her a box of macarons from the table. Gu Mang reached out to take one.
Lu Chengzhou pointed his chin towards his bed. “Take a seat first, I have something to discuss with them.”
“Mmh.” Gu Mang uttered as a form of acknowledgment. She sat down in a relaxed manner with half a leg rested on the bed and the other supporting her on the ground. She leaned towards the head of the bed.
He Yidu and Qin Fang looked at the man and woman who were both leaning slightly on the bed across from them. They both looked away silently.
Gu Mang unwrapped a macaron and took out her phone. Then, she put in one earbud and began playing mobile games. Lu Chengzhou slanted his eyes and looked at the side profile of her beautiful face. There was a faint smile in his eyes. He had only dared to confirm that she was no longer mad until now. She was eating and gaming by his side.
Lu Chengzhou looked away and turned to Qin Fang. “No one on the technical team is able to crack it at all?”
Qin Fang answered, “Not just the technical team. Many organizations are beginning to take action. Missing Gateway’s former club, the Black Legion, as well as two other organizations are also trying to crack it.”
He Yidu sneered. “An online conversation has caused such a big hoo-ha. That group is rather impressive. They have gotten what they want.”
Gu Mang looked up, then she looked away instantly. Were they also cracking the online conversation?
Qin Fang nodded in agreement. “They’re being provocative. They clearly came prepared to prove their skills, didn’t they? So many days have passed and no one has managed to crack it.”
It had already been about ten days.
He Yidu flipped his mobile phone around. “The stock market has already changed so strangely. Everyone would suspect that their goal this time is probably to destroy the stock market. The stock exchange and the Financial Intelligence Agency are already well prepared. If they are really targeting the stock exchange, they won’t be able to attack it. They’d be shamed for doing so.”
“I don’t think so. We can’t even crack an online conversation. The probability of them attacking the stock exchange market is at least 60 to 70%,” Qin Fang said. He suddenly remembered something and he looked at Lu Chengzhou and He Yidu. “Do you guys think that the big boss of Shadow League has tried to crack it?”
With such an uproar online, there was no way that Shadow League hadn’t heard about it.
He Yidu said, “There hasn’t been much movement from Shadow League lately. I don’t think they have participated in this matter. Arctic Fox only takes on one mission each year. After looking for the Miracle Doctor for the President of Country K, she was gone dark.”
Qin Fang laughed. “If Shadow League does not crack it, then this Shadow League, the No. 1 hacker organization, will have to give up the throne. So will Arctic Fox, the top hacker.”
Gu Mang remained silent.
He Yidu looked at him speechlessly. “How can you still be in the mood to care about others?”
Qin Fang touched his nose and turned to Lu Chengzhou. “Brother Cheng, what now?”
Lu Chengzhou passed Gu Mang a piece of wet tissue to wipe her hands and he did not even look at Qin Fang. “The technical team will deal with it first. Keep an eye on the stock market and minimize losses at all costs.”
Qin Fang felt rather insecure. “What if something really goes wrong with the stock market? We will be facing huge losses.”
Lu Chengzhou said, “We will talk about this tomorrow.”
This was Lu Chengzhou’s signal for them to leave.
He Yidu put away his phone and got up. “Brother Cheng, we shall leave first.”
Lu Chengzhou acknowledged with a hum. They left the medical room.
Qin Fang walked along the corridor and sighed. “It feels like a good old loyal minister is working for a fatuous and self-indulgent ruler!”
Lust makes the intelligent fatuous. He has given up on his responsibilities!
He Yidu bit a cigarette in his mouth and lit it. He slanted his eyes. “If you feel jealous, you can call Gu Mang out for a fight.”
The corner of Qin Fang’s mouth twitched and he answered, “I’m afraid that she would kill me with her bare hands.”
He Yidu was left speechless.
