The mercenary didn’t react and simply typed: [Fine. If ever you feel like throwing your money somewhere again, remember to call me.)
The mercenary also provided Huo Yao with his personal email address.
Although she might never have any use for him, he was keen on being friends with her.
The mercenary recalled the time when someone made trouble at several mercenary headquarters and challenged them using a very unusual, never before seen weapon.
Huo Yao said nothing and turned off the dialog box with the mercenary.
Her avatar blinked.
It was a message from Cool Autumn.
Huo Yao looked at her avatar blinking. She seriously wondered if Cool Autumn was always online. Otherwise, why did she always encounter him whenever she signed into Cloud Realm?
She clicked on the dialog box.
Cool Autumn: (I can’t believe someone took the job.]
Cool Autumn: (The people at the base are going nuts. They want to cut you into pieces.]
Huo Yao replied: (I see.]
Cool Autumn: (Why do I have a feeling that you don’t seem scared?]
Bold Little Darling: (Why should I be scared? I wasn’t the one who blew up the base anyway.]
Cool Autumn: (Didn’t you hire someone to do it?]
Bold Little Darling: (Uh huh. They have to first figure out that it was me.)
When Liang Qiu saw Huo Yao’s reply, he recalled something, and the fear in his heart dissipated.
He had forgotten that Huo Yao was friends with the number one hacker in the world, so she had her tracks covered.
[No matter what, I suggest you be careful. The people at Mirage Base are really crazy. Since you hired someone to destroy their latest invention, I am sure they won’t let you off.] Liang Qiu contemplated before suggesting for Huo Yao to watch her back.
Huo Yao crossed her legs and quickly answered: (Got it. Thanks.]
Liang Qiu chuckled out loud before typing: (If you really want to thank me, why don’t you give me your contact?]
Bold Little Darling: (I take back my words.]
Cool Autumn: […]
Huo Yao did not continue chatting and simply turned off the dialog box. After sitting in front of the computer for a couple of minutes, she opened the command box and further encrypted her IP address. Also, she changed her location to Mirage Base.
She turned off the laptop after she was done.
They could go insane trying to find her for all she cared.
Huo Yao pursed her lips.

Meanwhile, on the other end.
Song Qi donated a sum of money to fund school infrastructure every year, so this year was no different. Her assistant was usually in charge of doing this, but she decided to do it personally this time.
Since she had made an appointment ahead of schedule, and it was the weekend, the dean came over just to see her. After signing the paperwork, Song Qi smiled and said, “Mr. He, do you think you can help me out?”
Mr He put away the paperwork and check. He raised his head and looked at Song Qi. “What do you need, Mrs. Ji?”
“My niece is studying at Tsing University as well. She is a little rebellious. She decided not to live on campus and didn’t tell her parents where she resides now. Could you help to check the records and see if she left a residential address?”
Song Qi sighed slightly as she spoke and pretended to look like a concerned elder.
The dean was completely unsuspecting and simply said, “Tell me her name and faculty then. I can check it now.”
Song Qi’s eyes lit up when she heard this. She replied quickly. “Her name is Huo Yao. She is a freshman in the Biology department.”
