Chapter 481



.

Surprised, Samuel and everyone else looked at Nora in disbelief.

Someone swallowed hard. “Do you know where Q is?”

Nora didn’t speak anymore. Instead, she pushed open the door and entered the room.

Joel was sitting quietly waiting for her. From the looks of him, he didn’t seem anxious at all. He seemed clear and sure of what he was doing.

Nora had thought she would see him looking tired and haggard, but unexpectedly, he was very calm. She raised her eyebrows.

Joel smiled. “You came.”

“Yes.”

Nora moved to his side. “How did you know I was coming?”

Joel replied, “When Jill asked me to get her nephew a position at the company the other time, I knew right away that you’d no doubt have a backup plan. Come on, spill it, what are you planning to do?”.

Nora: “…”

She kicked Joel’s chair lightly to signal him to move away. Joel got up. When Nora sat down, he asked curiously, “What if I didn’t have a backup plan? After all, the other side is saying it’s Q, you know!”.

Joel stood next to her and smiled. “You think just restricting our Internet is enough for one to hold the fate of the Smith Corporation in their hands when I’ve already been with the company for so many years?”

As if instructing her, Joel patiently explained, “One must have everything under one’s control. Since the Smith Corporation does not have a top-notch hacker, Our main form of business must not be related to the Internet! This way, even if the company’s network goes down, the breakdown will only have a minimal influence and will not affect the entire company’s operations. As for stocks… naturally, I also have ways to fight back and even things out.”

Enlightened, Nora gave Joel a thumbs-up. “Impressive.”

Joel rested one hand on the table and the other on the chair. As he stood behind Nora and watched her turn on the computer, he couldn’t help but ask, “You know Q?”

“… Yes, I guess you could say that.”

Joel couldn’t help but say, “If he’s trustworthy, could you find a way to hire him as a cybersecurity consultant for the Smith Corporation?” He sighed and said, “The Hunt Corporation has Y watching, so they don’t fear attacks from any hackers, which has made their operations in this regard very smooth. I just don’t know how Justin got a top hacker like Y to become so loyal to them. I also don’t understand why he trusts Y so much…”

Joel sighed excitedly and added, “In that sense, he’s a weakness for the Smith Corporation. Uncle Ian had only assigned Quentin to the clandestine forces since the rest of your cousins were not to be trusted. He had originally planned to train and groom Louis to become a hacker, but instead he became interested in gaming…. In the end, the Smith Corporation doesn’t even have a top-notch hacker we can trust!”

By this time, Nora had managed to turn on the computer. As she put her hands on the keyboard, the corners of her lips curved upward slightly. “Joel,” she said.

Joel paused. “Hmm?”

An unorthodox glint shone in Nora’s almond-shaped eyes. “The Smith Corporation has it now.”

Joel was taken aback.

His first thought was that Nora must have been very familiar with Q, so Q would be a very reliable ally…. He was about to speak when he saw Nora’s fingers flying across the keyboard at high speed.

As he applied coercive measures against the hacker, the dark screens began to slowly light up.

The screen was still black, but it wasn’t like the unresponsive screens a moment ago, where nothing was happening no matter what keys were pressed. Along with the rapid movements of Nora’s fingers, rows and rows of programming code scrolled across the screen.

It was so fast that Joel couldn’t even see what exactly he was typing…. Totally stunned, he looked at Nora in disbelief.

For a moment, it struck him that his cousin’s profile seemed so serious and determined. There was a strange charm and confidence in the unorthodox smile on her lips.

It was not a blind confidence she had; rather, it was a strong and powerful confidence she had in her own abilities!

A thought suddenly formed in her mind, a surprised and amazed Joel slowly asked, “You… are you Q?”.

He thought about how calm Nora had been from the beginning. At first, he had thought it was because she had already made arrangements for everything. For example, maybe she knew the real Q and was able to get him to help them through the difficult situation.

Or maybe, Nora had borrowed Y from the Hunt Corporation.

Joel had imagined all sorts of scenarios, but he had never thought that Nora could be Q herself.

How could she be…?

She was already the number one surgeon nationally and internationally!!!! Nora took aggressive action and cut off the enemy virus attack, allowing the computer in front of her to function normally. In fact, she had also repaired the servers. They were currently in the midst of a reboot, which would take some time.

Nora had easily resolved the Smith Corporation’s Internet crisis in less than ten minutes.

She stretched, turned her head sideways to look at Joel and nodded. “Yes.”

Joel: “…”

He gaped a little.

At that moment, the deputy general manager knocked on the door. He poked his head in and asked quietly, “Mr. Smith, since Miss Nora has said she knows Q, can you ask him for help?”

Joel raised his eyebrows.

The deputy CEO said, “All the computers in the company are still unusable at this time. Everyone is using them for work, so no one can work normally at this time.”

Joel looked at Nora.

“One hour,” Nora said.

Joel looked at the deputy general manager. “Give all employees a day off. Tomorrow they can come to work as usual.”

When the deputy general manager heard this, he looked at Nora with a complex look. Then he turned and walked out.

As he left, Joel asked, “Is an hour enough time for you to restore everyone’s computers?”

“Oh,” Nora flexed her wrists and said, “I only need five minutes.”

Joel: “Oh?”

Nora put her hands back on the keyboard. “I asked for an hour because I plan to have some fun with the other party. Incidentally, I’ll also… catch them.”

Joel: “…”

Nora had already decided to play along some time ago. When Jill sent her nephew to the company, she had already sensed something.

Therefore, she had known for some time that something might be wrong with the Smith Corporation. She had allowed everything to drag on until now just so she could bring out the mastermind hiding behind the scenes.

Needless to say, he naturally knew that the one coming to light was a high-level hacker in the mysterious organization. It was easiest to expose their identities in online battles, so the ‘young master’ he had been exchanging text messages with might not be with the hacker at the moment.

But, regardless, every little bit counted.

At that moment, his phone vibrated.

She picked it up and glanced at it: the little psychopath had sent another message: [My little maid, how do you like my gift to the Smith Corporation?]

The corners of Nora’s lips lifted. She wrote: [Yes, I quite like it].

After all, she had exposed another member of her organization!
