âIâ¦â Gu San found it hard to talk about this. He tried to find the words for a while before finally saying, âMaster Wang and I went to an overseas harbor to investigate some goodsâ¦â
Qiao Nian knew about this even without him saying it. The goods he mentioned were the ores.
She walked further in alongside Gu San and noticed that there were quite a number of people in the hallway. Some were standing while some were seated, and the atmosphere was rather tense.
Some were even holding laptops.
Seeing Gu San lead her in, a few people frowned and eyed her in an unfriendly manner.
As if they couldnât figure out why Gu San would let her in here.
âAnd then?â
Gu San looked at her. This was supposed to be confidential, and he should not be letting Qiao Nian know about it. But for some reason, he had a strange sense of trust towards her.
âOn the way, Master Wang and the rest went to the port to check the goods, leaving me alone at the base. They got me to take care of the belongings and computers. I thought this wasnât a big deal, so I didnât take it too seriously. Not too long after they left, a local girl suddenly came running. She looked about four or five and was clothed in rags, drinking the leftover water in the bottles strewn around. I didnât pay attention to her. I didnât expect that in the short time I took to receive a call, sheâd quickly drugged Master Wangâs drink and even removed the chip from the computerâ¦
âMaster Wang and the rest didnât know about it. After returning, Master Wang took a sip of the water. Although he realized that the water was wrong and spit it out, some of the poisonous water had already entered his stomach. The doctor already performed gastric lavage on Master Wang, and also injected an antidote. But Master Wang hasnât woken up yet.â
Hearing that the doctor had cleared his stomach and administered the antidote in time, Qiao Nian was much more relieved. She then asked him in a deep voice, âWhat did the doctor say?â
Gu San lowered his head reproachfully, with an embarrassed expression. âThe doctor said that Master Wangâs condition is not life-threatening, but it will take time for him to wake up.
âIt was because of my negligence that he was poisoned and the chip was stolen. Now those people have been using it to attack the Ninth Branchâs defense system. Master Wang is still not awake, Iâ¦â
He couldnât go on.
Some people in the corridor couldnât listen anymore. A burly man walked out, raised his eyebrows, and looked at Qiao Nian contemptuously, then said irritably, âGu San, why are you telling her so much? Who is this? Why did you bring in an irrelevant person? Donât you know Master Wang is not awake yet?â
Gu San was defensive of Qiao Nian and was just about to say something.
That was when a person from the technical department walked over quickly with a laptop in his hands. With an awful expression, he said, âGroup Leader, what should we do? Our system has been breached.â
âWhat?â Luo Qingâs face suddenly changed. Not in the mood to take care of them, he grasped his hair irritably. âWhat did Liao Xu say, he canât stop it?â
Liao Xu was one of the most impressive IT talents in the Ninth Branch.
The technician shook his head. His face was pale as he glanced at Gu San and said in a low voice, âNo way, no one can help. The core chip of the Ninth Branch is in the other partyâs hand, and the other party can easily use it to break into our defense system. We have tried our best to block and change the defense programming, but the effect is not good.â
Such a huge defense program could not be completed in a day or two. If they wanted to change it, they could only change the small parts. The opponent was also a computer expert, however. There really was no way!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
