Gu Yanqi entered the room to tell Fu Zhi and Li Nanli that the meal was ready.
Fu Zhi was typing away on the keyboard. When she heard Gu Yanqi’s voice, she said, “You guys go ahead without me. I have some scores to settle right now, and I’ll join you guys later.”
Gu Yanqi then opened up the door to the study.
Li Nanli replied without even raising his head up, “I’m doing something personal. Give me five minutes.”
Gu Yanqi did not know what to say.
‘Why do I have a feeling that you two are talking about the same matter?’
Keeping his head low, Li Nanli destroyed 80% of the firewall in the website effortlessly. Just when he was about to press forward, something happened..
The screen of his laptop suddenly blurred, and a line of white codes appeared at the bottom of the screen.
It was a familiar scene, and Li Nanli’s heart skipped a beat.
He pressed his lips tight and squinted his eyes. He did not do anything but just watched his screen.
The captain of the 2nd division realized something was not right. He asked, “What’s going on?”
“They have changed their maintenance programmer,” Li Nanli replied, “Which company owns this website?”
After all, there was no way a small company could afford a programmer of this caliber.
The captain of the 2nd division fell silent for a moment before saying, “It’s an illegal company. They’ve detained captains of the 4th and 5th divisions. We want to save them, so we came for you.”
The captain of the 3rd division also chimed in, “Is it too hard? Do you want us to help? You don’t have to share your points with us.”
“That’s not necessary,” Li Nanli said flatly as he put his fingers on the keyboard, “I can deal with it myself.”
He sounded as if they were too incompetent to work with him. Besides, it’s not the sheer number of people that were going to take this website down.
When he first came in, there were ten or so programmers who tried to hold him off but they could not do it. However, now that they had changed to another programmer, things became different. He took control over the entire situation in just a few minutes and successfully removed the virus that Li Nanli planted in their mainframe.
Li Nanli looked at the virus in his laptop.
There was a white rabbit on his screen right now. It was nibbling on a carrot before spitting at Li Nanli.
Its ears were fully erected as if it was telling him that he should not mess with it.
Li Nanli had no idea why but instead of getting angry, he felt the rabbit was adorable.
He raised his brows and put both his hands back on the keyboard. It seemed like he was ready to have a competition with the programmer from the other side.
Generally speaking, a hacker competition would be held every year, be it at home or abroad, and the competition held by the Hacker Alliance was a lot harder. In addition to the written test, they had to go through a series of other matches such as 1V1, 1V5, or even 1V100.
They had to attack other computers by installing viruses on each other’s computers while maintaining the security and protection of personal computers.
—
Right now, Fu Zhi’s face sank when she saw the other side had begun to fight back. She closed her game and turned her attention to the computer, her hands danced on the keyboard with feline graces.
Jiang Ningbei sent a text message to her, [How’s it going? It seems to me that he’s getting into the Fu Corporation’s website. Are you sure you can deal with him?]
[Yes. Don’t worry.], Fu Zhi replied
In the meantime, the atmosphere for the International Crime Unit was tense.
None of them were able to get an edge over the other. Just as they watched the website in bated breath, something happened and the tide began to change.
Li Nanli caught a loophole and successfully implanted a virus. Then, his screen lit up. He squinted his eyes, and he was stunned when he saw the words “The Fu Corporation”.
‘The Fu Corporation? Huh? What’s going on here?’
The captain of the 2nd division erupted from his phone, “That’s brilliant! There is another 10% to go, and we will be able to get into their database!”
“So it has been the Fu Corporation the whole time?” Li Nanli asked, his voice dripped with venom.
The heart of the captain of the 2nd division leaped into his throat and answered, “Yes.”
“I’m out of this,” Li Nanli said, “I’ll settle with you guys later.”
After that, he took the headset off and hung up the call.
Rabbit, carrot, and the same virus software and tactics as before…
Li Nanli looked towards the bedroom.
Sitting on the couch, Fu Zhi frowned when she noticed that the virus had stopped its attack.
‘Huh? Is he giving up? No! This is not going to happen!’
Fu Zhi did not care why he suddenly disappeared, but she was not going to give up such a good opportunity.
Her fingers danced nimbly and she soon pinpoint the location of the hacker.
“He’s in Myanmar too?”
However, just when she was about to get deeper into it, a hand appeared and closed her laptop.
In the process of tracking an IP address, once the computer was on standby, not only would she lose the IP address, but it would also give the other side a chance to track her back!
“It’s late,” Li Nanli said, “Let’s go to eat.”
Fu Zhi was speechless.
‘I don’t have any appetite now, alright? Can’t you see that I’m in the middle of something?’
As if he could read her mind, Li Nanli cleared his throat and said, “I’ve ordered a cup of milk tea for you.”
It took only a few seconds to run from his study to the bedroom, so he was certain that Fu Zhi did not get his IP address.
‘That’s more like it.’
Fu Zhi’s face lightened up.
Perhaps she had confidence that she could get to the captain of the 1st division, she soon put this matter to the back of her mind.
Li Nanli then asked, “Are you thinking about your games?”
“Nope, I almost get the IP address of a sc*mbag who likes to steal other people’s belongings,” Fu Zhi replied, and Li Nanli did not know what to say.
‘I get the position through my hard work. Is that not enough to make you fall in love with me?’
With that thought in mind, Li Nanli pressed on, “Can you tell me more about it?”
“Do you know about the International Crime Unit?”
“I’ve heard of it before, but I have no idea what they do.”
“You don’t have to know that,” Fu Zhi said flatly, “He took my position away from me, so that makes him the vilest person in the world!”
Li Nanli was out of words.
He always thought that Fu Zhi did not care about the position at all, but it now seemed to him that he was wrong.
“So… Are you not impressed with this new captain? Since he has received so many points for doing missions in just a few days?”
Fu Zhi replied, “Don’t you think that the system in the International Crime Unit is creating anxiety amongst the members? We have to get up early and start working. There are plenty of jobs waiting for us to settle, and yet they only pay us the minimum wage. Not only that, but we don’t have any access to anything at all. The new captain of the 1st division is too naive. He has entirely become their slave. When I was the captain, I was just loitering around, reading information about different bigshots from different industries that I have zero interest in, and they still gave me paychecks.”
Fu Zhi did not like the new captain of the 1st division at all.
“Let’s not talk about him. I think he’s a bad person, and you’ll be influenced by him if you focus too much on him.”
Li Nanli did not know what to say. He did not believe that getting close to the captain of 1st division would have a bad influence on him. After all, he was the captain.
That said, Li Nanli was not going to tell Fu Zhi about it.
He asked, “Have you read the profile about Z God before?”
“Nope. I’ve never read her profile before, and I don’t know who she is,” Fu Zhi replied without any hesitation.
Li Nanli squinted his eyes and looked at her as he smelled something fishy.
Noticing his gaze, Fu Zhi then continued, “We’re going back tonight. Let’s go down and eat so that we won’t miss the flight.”
—
The news of Li Nanli hanging up on them soon spread across the entire International Crime Unit.
Everyone knew that the International Crime Unit was a goner. If even the captain of the 1st division did not have the guts to go up against the Fu Family, nobody would.
The previous captain of the 1st division had now become the captain of the 8th division with a wicked heart that nobody dared to bug with.
“What’s your opinion about the thing today?” The captain of the 2nd division asked.
“Fu Zhi didn’t even consider us as her family!”
“That’s right! Although she’s capable, she has never accomplished any mission before. No wonder she was assigned to the 8th division!”
“But I hear that the captain commander is going to transfer a few members from our divisions to the 8th division. Of course, if anyone wants to leave their division, they can go to the official page to sign up and apply in advance.”
“Who’s going? I’m not going! I’ll make it very clear, she destroyed my brother, I swear to God I’ll bring down the entire Fu Corporation!”
“But if we go to the 8th division, we can get closer to the Fu Corporation. Besides, we might be able to get to know some of the famous hackers in the world, and we can even ask Fu Zhi to teach us how to drive like her!”
“No. If you want to go, you go. I’m not going. How about you guys?”
“No! We’re not going either!”

After Fu Zhi had left the Li Mansion, she switched her phone open and she received a lot of applications to join her division.
The mailbox was full of various professional profiles, and it seemed as if they were applying for a job.
[Name: Zhang San
Height: 188 cm
Weight: 155 pounds.
I don’t have any bad habits. I really would like to work with Ms. Fu, and I hope you can give me a chance.]
[My name is Xu Liu, and I’m the former vice-captain of the 1st division. I’ve heard of your great name, and I hope to forge ahead and create new outstanding achievements with you.]
Fu Zhi did not know what she should say. She ignored them and made a call to Ye Jiu.
“I’m coming to pick you up, so be ready.”
This was the first time Ye Jiu returned to Iris Time Villa to see Xu Wei after he had the surgery. Therefore, he did not know how to face Xu Wei.
He stood nervously in front of his house and asked Fu Zhi, “Did you tell mom why I was taken for surgery?”
Just when Fu Zhi was about to say something, the door to the mansion was opened up.
Xu Wei was taking out the trash, and her eyes turned red when she saw Fu Zhi and Ye Jiu.
Ye Jiu opened his arms and said, “Don’t cry, mom. Although I’m the victim, I…”
“Slap!”
Xu Wei slapped Ye Jiu hard in the cheek, cutting him off.
Then, she took a chair, stood on it, and pinched his ear. “How dare you! I wouldn’t know about it if Zhizhi didn’t tell me. How dare you sell your kidney just to buy a new gaming console?!”
Ye Jiu was dumbfounded.
‘Me what?’
Fu Zhi then added, “Your parents are the ones who gave you your body. Therefore, it’s unforgivable that you sell your kidney for a gaming console.”
Ye Jiu did not know what to say. He should have not depended on Fu Zhi so much.
In the past, Xu Wei thought Ye Jiu was just joking when he said he didn’t have enough money to spend. She didn’t expect that he would really go and sell his kidney to buy himself a gaming console.
“Even your sister is more mature than you! How could you sell your kidney? Don’t you know that it’s going to harm your body a lot?”
Xu Wei did not have any appetite for a few days after Fu Zhi told her about Ye Jiu’s condition. Had it not been for Fu Zhi to tell him to give some time for Ye Jiu, she would’ve gone to see him already.
Ye Jiu’s face was contorted in pain, “Mom, please forgive me, mom. Can you stop pinching my ear?”
Xu Wei let go of Ye Jiu and said, “I’m going to take out the trash. You go back and have a rest. If anyone tells you to sell your kidney, remember to beat him back with a shovel, okay?”
Ye Jiu scratched his nose embarrassingly. “But mom, I’m a kid and I can’t do such a violent thing.”
“Don’t worry, I’ve bought a cute shovel for you,” Xu Wei said as she pulled a pink shovel out from her back, “Look at it. It’s so pink. I’m sure whoever gets hit by this will feel very happy about it.”
Both Ye Jiu and Fu Zhi did not know what to say.
