Through later conversations, Shen Qingqing learned that the young hacker was named Lu Shu. He had been obsessed with computers since childhood and later studied computer science. After graduation, he opened an online investigation agency, specializing in helping people solve computer problems and designing anti-hacking systems.
This time, he was invited by Director Liu to deal with a computer intrusion issue.
He thought it was a simple task and accepted it. Upon starting, he realized it was a difficult one. Not only was the capability of the behind-the-scenes enemy far superior to his, but he also discovered something astonishing within Director Liu's computer.
He then realized that Director Liu was the complete opposite of how he presented himself to the world.
For some reason, he decided to keep these files, although they were only a few photos. However, the content in the photos was shocking.
"Give me the photos," Shen Qingqing said.
Lu Shu hesitated not at all. "You must bring him to justice!"
"Then you shouldn't meddle in other people's business anymore," Shen Qingqing replied irritably. If Lu Shu hadn't intervened this time, even if Fu Jingshu hadn't found evidence, today's meeting absolutely could not have proceeded!
"I understand. Next time I take a job, I'll check the client thoroughly..." Lu Shu was also very annoyed, feeling he had made a mistake. "Um, does this count as making amends?"
Shen Qingqing saved the photos he sent. "Barely."
Lu Shu sighed, then his eyes lit up as he thought of her powerful hacking skills. "Can I ask how your hacking skills are so amazing? Can I become your disciple?!"
Shen Qingqing raised an eyebrow.
No wonder Lu Shu switched sides so quickly. It wasn't just because Director Liu was a bad person; he actually wanted to learn from her.
"If you promise not to help Director Liu anymore, I can consider it..."
"Absolutely not!" Lu Shu raised his hand, wishing he could swear an oath on the spot. "How could I possibly have any further dealings with Director Liu! He's a bad person. In novel terms, he's a villain, and villains never have a good end!"
He didn't want to be cannon fodder following a villain.
Shen Qingqing nodded with satisfaction and gave him a phone number. "Call this number and contact him. Whether your studio will be merged with us or will cooperate, you can discuss it with him."
"What about you?" Lu Shu looked at her eagerly.
After all, the reason he switched sides was to learn hacking techniques. He hadn't seen such a powerful person in a long, long time!
He had seen a master on the dark web before, and with all his abilities, he had only managed to find out that this master was young and surnamed Shen.
Suddenly, he thought of something. "I haven't asked your name yet?"
"My surname is Shen."
Lu Shu's eyes widened instantly. "Could it be that the master I know is you? But that's not right! The age doesn't match! That master is younger than you!"
Surname Shen, not old...
Shen Qingqing instantly thought of her precious son and chuckled inwardly. "In any case, contact the owner of this number. His name is Ke Lin. He will make arrangements for you, and it's possible you might even get a chance to meet this master you speak of."
"Really?!"
Lu Shu hadn't expected this bonus and was even more determined to work with her.
After they parted, Shen Qingqing returned to the hospital and happened to run into Fu Jingshu at the hospital entrance. The couple met each other's eyes but said nothing.
Fu Jingshu took her hand and led her into the ward. "How is your situation?"
Shen Qingqing sat on the sofa and explained the situation to him, expressing her regret. "It's a pity that you didn't have any progress, and with that young man who suddenly appeared, otherwise..."
She could have ruined Director Liu's reputation today!
Fu Jingshu stroked the long hair behind her shoulders with a gentle gesture. "It's okay, there will be other opportunities."
Shen Qingqing was a little puzzled. "But why couldn't you find it? Dr. Gao said it was at his home. Are you sure you searched everywhere you could?"
Fu Jingshu nodded. "Certain."
He had almost turned the entire house upside down.
Shen Qingqing sighed softly. It seemed she would have to ask Dr. Gao if there was anyone else who knew about the ledger at his place.
...
Seaside villa, second floor.
A woman with flowing hair stood by the window, watching the rolling sea waves. She was exquisitely beautiful, wearing a knee-length formal dress and a hat, looking like a little princess.
A knock sounded from behind her, exactly three times.
The woman turned her head slightly. "Come in."
The door opened, and a man walked in. He was tall and handsome, with wrinkles etched by time on his face. He smiled warmly and said, "Miss Ai, the plan was very successful. They didn't discover anything."
Miss Ai smiled brightly. "It seems we are still one step ahead of them."
Fu Tingyi nodded, a hint of triumph in his eyes. "Miss Ai, may I ask why you came to help me?"
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend."
Fu Tingyi agreed wholeheartedly. "Especially when the opponent's enemy is fearsome enough, then we will be the most harmonious partners."
Miss Ai raised her palm, her fingers closing as if to grasp the sunlight. However, the sunlight poured through the gaps between her fingers, and the darkness in her eyes deepened.
"It doesn't matter. The more I can't grasp it, the more I want to!"
The sunlight seemed to have escaped completely, but who knew if there was any residual sunlight in her closed palm.
She opened her palm and kissed it gently.
Her expression was almost reverent.
Fu Tingyi sighed, feeling a little jealous. He didn't know what was so good about Fu Jingshu that he always attracted so many girls.
He had to remind her, "Miss Ai, please, don't ruin our plan."
Miss Ai closed her eyes slightly and said softly, "Don't worry, what I want and what you want do not conflict. We will achieve our desires together."
Fu Tingyi felt more at ease.
Miss Ai turned slightly to look out the window. A woman was on the beach, seemingly sunbathing. She thought for a moment and asked, "Is this person named Su something?"
"Ning Su, Ning Xin's sister."
Miss Ai sneered. "She's just a minor character, daring to covet what doesn't belong to her. How overestimating herself."
"Then what are your intentions?"
Miss Ai's fair fingertips rested on the windowsill. She said indifferently, "Although she's not remarkable, she can still cause some trouble for our enemy."
...
The doctor came to examine Shen Jinxi, but the results were not optimistic.
"The child's body is fine, but... the allergen cannot be found. This is strange. He clearly has symptoms of an allergy."
Shen Qingqing's heart stirred. "Doctor, please investigate further. I'll go back to take care of the child for now. Please notify me immediately if you have any news."
"No problem, you go ahead."
Leaving the doctor's office, Shen Qingqing immediately called the old man and told him about the problem.
The old man pondered for a moment and said, "Yes, besides the allergen that caused your allergy last time, there is also a poison. It cannot be detected because this poison only has one effect: it triggers allergic symptoms. It is not fatal, but for someone who has just used special medicine, it is very dangerous."
