"Mr. Qin, our system has been attacked, and a lot of data has been damaged!"
"Where are the people from the security center?" Qin Ningyi knew the seriousness of the matter, withdrew all his thoughts, and asked in a deep voice.
"They are a bit overwhelmed and can only focus on rescuing our data." Xiao Konglin reported the current situation to Qin Ningyi.
"We have already notified Yuda Security, and they are on their way."
Qin Ningyi looked up at Huo Rou. Huo Rou seemed to sense something and held her breath to listen.
Her hearing was quite good. After hearing a few words, she could almost connect the entire incident.
"I'll go back with you," Huo Rou put down her bowl and stood up, looking at him.
With the important matters at hand, Qin Ningyi didn't say much and walked out with her.
"Mom, take me!" Anan quickly stood up and chased after them after finishing the rest of his noodles.
"Uncle Shen, thank you for your hospitality!" Anan poked his head in from the door, "Next time you come to our house, Anan will cook you delicious food!"
"I know, go quickly." Shen Wuyou knew Huo Rou's character; she wouldn't be vague when it came to important matters.
He watched them leave with clear eyes. Looking at the three bowls on the table, warmth surged in his eyes, and he continued to eat breakfast.
Huo Rou rushed back to the company with Qin Ningyi.
In the office, the security center staff were frantically typing on their keyboards.
Xiao Konglin looked at Huo Rou with some embarrassment. It wasn't surprising that he was embarrassed; the problem seemed to be with the newly installed product from Yuda Security.
Huo Rou had already heard the whole story on the way. She walked to the main control computer and lifted the manager of the security center.
The manager was nervous and, being suddenly lifted, glared angrily, "You..."
Just as he was about to curse, he saw Qin Ningyi's cold face and changed his tone.
"Please."
Huo Rou sat down, the sound of her keyboard crackling overrode everyone else's rhythm.
Soon, she identified the problem and found the infiltration route.
The more she looked at the intrusion method, the more problematic it seemed. The intruder seemed to have known about the backdoor vulnerability all along and entered directly without any trial and error.
She harbored suspicion and looked at the operations of the people around her, quickly assigning tasks based on their strengths.
Everyone knew she was the director of Yuda Security. Despite their doubts, under Qin Ningyi's cold gaze, they began to cooperate as she instructed.
Anan crowded next to her, concentrating on watching her call up windows and write programs.
"Anan, sit next to me. I've captured a packet, you break it." Huo Rou was like a general on the battlefield, with everyone placed in their positions, including Anan, who knew a bit of programming.
Huo Rou didn't think much of it. Being able to crack her encrypted photos, Anan's ability was more than enough for something.
Anan's eyes were full of excitement. Being entrusted with such an important task, he rubbed his little hands, eager to try.
"Director Huo, isn't it just causing trouble to let a child do this?" The security center personnel finally couldn't stand it and complained.
Previously, Yuda Security's product had such a major flaw; they didn't want to renew the contract. Now that they had renewed it, another problem had occurred! They were so busy, and it was all because of Yuda Security.
And now, it was like child's play, letting a child join.
"This is a battlefield, and orders are like mountains. You just need to follow them!" Huo Rou said coldly, her voice changing, becoming more mature and carrying a strong deterrent force.
The person was about to continue speaking, but Huo Rou's gaze fixed on him. Under that gaze, he inexplicably felt a chill down his spine and couldn't say another word.
Huo Rou's face was cold, and she focused intently on the screen in front of her, not stopping even when speaking to them.
Hearing others question Huo Rou, Anan hesitated.
"Anan, I believe you can do it. Being able to crack my encryption is very impressive." Huo Rou's confident tone filled Anan with confidence. He sat next to Huo Rou and began to tap on the keyboard.
Qin Ningyi watched as Huo Rou methodically arranged everyone. It was the first time he had seen her work; her expression was focused, and her fingers danced.
Those delicate fingers became exceptionally nimble and powerful at this moment, moving so fast on the keyboard that he could barely see.
At this moment, she shed her gentle and harmless disguise, and a deadly aura spread from her, as if leading them into battle.
This scene was like the glance back at him when he first met her.
Qin Ningyi stood behind her, watching the code scroll across her screen. Soon, the astonishment of others could no longer be suppressed, and they cried out.
"Holy crap!" The first person exclaimed unintentionally. He secretly glanced back at Huo Rou and quickly covered his mouth when he saw her stern expression.
But the astonishment in their eyes eventually turned into exclamations.
"Holy crap!"
"This is too strong?!"
"So fast? I'm only halfway done!"
Gradually, the security center staff realized how foolish it was to have been resentful of Huo Rou's arrangements at first.
Perhaps she arranged for them to act as "soldiers" on the battlefield,
not necessarily because the battle *had* to be fought by them.
After a long period of rapid typing, Huo Rou seized a gap to rest and rubbed her fingers, then resumed her original speed.
Although Qin Ningyi couldn't understand, he was immensely proud hearing the exclamations of the others.
On the computer screen in front of Anan, several indicators turned green.
The loopholes were sealed, and the losses stopped.
And it was less than an hour since Huo Rou sat down here.
When all the indicators turned green and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, ready to celebrate, Huo Rou still hadn't stopped.
The corner of her lips curled into a sneer, a smile that was both contemptuous and charming.
Qin Ningyi was mesmerized.
"An offense must be met with a return," Huo Rou's red lips parted slightly, her eyes narrowing dangerously, "I'll give you one too..."
"A big gift."
As her voice fell, the sound of her keyboard was incredibly fast.
The security center personnel crowded around. At this moment, they didn't care who the CEO was, and Qin Ningyi was pushed back several steps.
As Huo Rou stopped her movements, she leaned back, gently massaging her fingers, her face returning to its usual calm and harmless expression.
Perhaps only the attacker knew what she had done.
Qin Ningyi squeezed through the crowd with a cold expression.
He came to Huo Rou's side, the ice on his face melting. With a tender smile, he gently took Huo Rou's fingers and carefully massaged them.
"You've worked hard," Qin Ningyi smiled.
Huo Rou froze for a few seconds, looking at the bruise on his jaw, and felt inexplicably guilty.
She was usually very tolerant.
But when she thought of Qin Ningyi's hands having held Xia Qingxue's arm, and rested on female colleagues' shoulders... although they had only helped him up.
Even so, the thought made her want to spar with him again.
Huo Rou withdrew her hand, turned her face away, and if this continued, she felt like she would want to hit him again.
Qin Ningyi was at a loss when rejected. He looked at the hint of disgust in Huo Rou's eyes, then at his own hands.
He suddenly understood and hurriedly said, "I'll wash them."
"Director Huo?"
Luo Chen and Brother Yang, who had rushed over, burst into the room only to see a room of idlers, and Huo Rou sitting in the crowd like a languid queen.
