Chapter 299



.

With that, the group fell silent.

Warren unconsciously raised his head and looked around. When he realized there were no cameras in the room, he frowned. “Really?”

Maureen also gave a little jump.

She cringed in fear. “Honey, if they’re watching us, what are they trying to do? I even change my clothes often, will they see us, will we run into a pervert?”

Warren took a step forward. “I don’t think that’s possible. When the Smiths come in, we pass a barrier. If we had a surveillance camera, it would have sounded an alarm. This was also to protect our family’s safety. So how could we be bugged? He… He could be creating panic to scare us!”

“Really?”

Warren walked around Maureen. He looked down at the slightly revealing pajamas she was wearing and coughed. Then, he pulled a jacket from the side and draped it over her. “Seriously, even in your own room, you should dress more appropriately!”.

Maureen: “…”

Warren really was a coward. He always said what he didn’t mean.

He grimaced and pulled his clothes tighter.

Someone in the group sent another message:

Just: [… No one is monitoring you. He’s listening. Stop thinking you’re in a drama!!!!!!!!!!!]

Warren: “!!!!”

He looked at Maureen with trembling eyes and saw that her gaze had changed as well.

The two leaned against each other and looked around again.

Finally, Maureen asked quietly, “Honey, shall we change rooms?”

Another message flashed across the group:

Solo: “It’s no use. The surveillance information is on the computer. I’m not sure it’s on your phone. I was thinking of hacking into your phone to take a look.”

As soon as he said this, Warren and Maureen looked at their phones at the same time. Then they unconsciously threw their phones on the bed.

It was like a ticking time bomb!

“What is there to be afraid of? I think this Solo is just trying to scare us. He wants us to believe it. Otherwise, what’s the point of saying all this, can’t he just fix the software?”

Maureen nodded as well. “Yes, it’s definitely fake! I can guarantee it. Absolutely.”

She wrapped her coat tightly around herself. “If the Smith house can be bugged so easily, is there still a safe place in this world?”

Warren nodded fiercely. “Exactly!”

As the two spoke, Warren simply stood up and looked at his computer. “This must be something he did. Instead of fixing the game, he used all this to scare us. Have I, Warren, been afraid since I was young?”

Almost as soon as he said this, a voice came out of the computer. “So, how did you grow up?”

Warren instantly became alert. He jumped to his feet and ducked behind Maureen, yelling, “Honey!”

Maureen instinctively blocked his path and moved in to protect him. “Who is it? Honey, don’t be afraid.”

“…”

The room was silent for 20 seconds before a chuckle came from the computer.

Warren: “!”

Maureen: “…”

What had the two of them done?

Warren was furious. As a man, his dignity made him straighten his chest. He stepped behind Maureen and grabbed her arm. Then he said fiercely, “What are you laughing at?”

“I’m laughing at you.”

The sound was a robotic voice during the voice change stage, making it impossible to tell who the other party was.

Warren asked, “Are you the fake Solo?”

“No.”

Warren snorted coldly. “Now you dare to tell the truth…”

“I’m real. How could a fake person hack into your computer?”

“…” Warren was silent for a moment. “I know how to hack into other people’s computers, too. This is like a remote office! Besides, anyone who knows a little bit about technology knows how to do it, right?”

The other party was silent for a moment before saying, “The remote connection job is to control your computer remotely, but hacking into your computer will go unnoticed. Besides, first I have to get through your firewall and then…. Forget it. You won’t understand even if I tell you. I’ll just say this, do you think ordinary people can hack the Smiths’ firewall? Only me.”

Warren: “…”

Maureen caught the gap in his words. “If so, did you just say someone was listening in on us? How did that person get in? You said it was hard for anyone but you – aren’t you contradicting yourself?”

He was only silent for a moment before coughing. “What if the other party is in your house? There’s no need to break the external firewall between family members.”

Maureen was surprised. “In our house? Who is it?”

Solo: “The Smiths’ firewall is really very powerful. It’s already taken me a long time to hack into it and figure out that they’re being watched. I still haven’t figured out who the person behind it is.”

“…” Warren scoffed. “So, what have you been doing? If you can’t figure it out in time, what can you do?”

“…I managed to fix your mistake in time.”

Warren.

He was stunned and turned to look at Maureen in disbelief.

After the couple looked at each other for a long moment, Warren’s phone suddenly rang. He answered the call and heard the voice of company personnel on the other end. “Mr. Smith, the system glitches have been repaired! All players can play normally now! Although some players have been lost because of the glitches, there are still new players!”

Warren was stunned and asked incredulously, “Really?”.

“Yes, our system is very smooth now, and the technical problems that were previously unresolved have been fixed! The graphics have also been improved. Where did you find this person? He has directly modified our server!”

Warren: “!”

After hanging up, he looked dazedly at the computer and stammered, “Was that your doing?”

At the computer: “Yes, your game was very sloppy. I helped you fix it. I also fixed a cartoon bug. That will save time in the future.”

“…”

Warren stammered again and asked, “Are you… are you really Solo?”

“Isn’t it obvious, who else can be stronger than me?”

Warren: “!”

He met Maureen’s gaze with disbelief.

Did the girl in the field really know Solo?

How did she know him?

This was just too bizarre!

Besides, did all high-level international experts have such an understandable personality? If the others suspected it was fake, shouldn’t she be very irritable?

Just as her lips quivered, Maureen asked, “So, can you help us find out who was listening to us?”.

Just: “…That’s simple. Just wait a bit.”
