Chapter 178 The Computer Geek Makes a Move
City H.
Michelin restaurant restroom.
After lighting a cigarette, Liu Yupan input a command on his cellphone to a number that didn't exist in his contacts.
Doo-doo....
After a few rings, a lazy yet very pleasant voice came through, "What is it?"
"Do me a favor and cripple someone tonight. Qin Yu, Yan Mingyu's bodyguard, has displeased our old man!"
Liu Yupan exhaled a cloud of smoke as he spoke.
"This doesn't seem to be part of our plan!"
The person on the other end did not agree to Liu Yupan's request.
Their mission this time was mainly targeted at the overseas Chinese wealthy businessman Li Xiaozu; they could not allow a minor bodyguard to cause a complication.
"Five million!"
Liu Yupan stated calmly.
He did not believe that someone from an assassins organization had any bottom line or integrity.
"What's his level of ability?"
Their tone clearly softened.
"He should have mastered the Dark Energy. My old man's bodyguards have taken quite a beating today. If you're afraid, then forget it!"
Liu Yupan employed reverse psychology.
"Transfer the money!"
They said and then hung up the phone.
"Heh heh...."
Liu Yupan exhaled another plume of smoke, his lips curling into a sinister arc. After fiddling with his phone a bit more, he transferred five million over to them.
Then, he snuffed out the cigarette butt and walked out of the restroom.
Back in the private room, Qin Wei'er stood up with her handbag: "Let's go!"
"Shall we go straight back, or watch a movie first?"
Liu Yupan asked gently.
"I'm a bit tired today, you book a room and we'll rest at the hotel!"
Qin Wei'er said very "proactively."
Actually, this was a test for her. If Liu Yupan agreed, she would flip out on the spot, proving that this man was only lusting after her body.
"We've only known each other for a few days, resting in a hotel room would not look good if word got out. I should take you back to your apartment instead!"
Liu Yupan was an experienced hunter; he knew that the prey was purposely showing weakness to test him.
How could such petty tricks fool someone who grew up amidst the overt and covert struggles of a big family?
"Then... okay!"
Sure enough, Qin Wei'er visibly relaxed a bit. At least Liu Yupan passed her first test.
Afterward, the two of them left the restaurant together.
Liu Yupan drove his Ferrari to take Qin Wei'er back to her apartment.
Before leaving, Liu Yupan took out a VIP card from his pocket: "Wei'er, I got this just now at the Michelin restaurant. After you fly, treat yourself to a good meal, I've charged it with one million!"
"No need!"
Qin Wei'er waved her hand and said with a bit lip: "When I rest, I'll cook for myself!"
She didn't fully trust Liu Yupan right now; how could she accept such an expensive gift from him?
"Alright then, next time make a bit more, and I'll come to freeload a meal!"
Liu Yupan put away the VIP card.
Only after Qin Wei'er entered the apartment building did his gentle expression gradually darken.
Which link had failed?
She had trusted him quite a bit before, so why was she now showing distrust at every turn?
Liu Yupan squinted his eyes, and after a little while, muttered to himself: "It looks like it's time to take drastic measures!"
Elsewhere.
Four Seas Corporation, Information Security Department.
Two computer geeks sipped their colas as they clattered away at their keyboards.
"Damn, Qin Yu is seriously awesome, storming into the Liu Family's territory alone and teaching that wheelchair-bound cripple a lesson!"
"We can't just sit around either. Yan Mingyu is our goddess. How dare they bully her, we need to show that old guy what we're made of!"
The two computer geeks spoke, spitting as they talked.
"Did you hack in yet?"
Luo Zheng glanced at Chen Mo's computer screen and asked.
"Yeah. How about you? Is the virtual trap ready? The Liu Family must have their own computer experts. We can't let them trace it back to us. We don't have the same kind of badass skills as Qin Yu!"
Chen Mo stared at Luo Zheng's computer screen and asked in return.
"Haha, even though I'm a weakling in the real world, not as good as Qin Yu, I'm a boss on the internet. They don't stand a chance at tracing it back to me! Come on, pass me the data!"
Luo Zheng said confidently.
"Alright, it's coming your way!"
Chen Mo hit the enter key, transmitting Liu Zhixiong's private hospital medical report and screenshots of him hobbling under someone's support past a surveillance camera over to Luo Zheng.
A few minutes later.
A post with the title "Prominent Family Head Lives It Up, Lands in Hospital After High-Flying Time with Mystery Man" appeared online.
Spreading yellow gossip, huh? No technical content, who can't do that?
Previously, Liu Yuran, the illegitimate son of the Liu Family, had approached Luo Zheng to post, spreading rumors about Yan Mingyu and her late father having an ambiguous relationship, hadn't he?
Now, these two computer geeks, also full of mischief, spread rumors that Liu Zhixiong had landed in the hospital due to an injury from a wild time with a man.
And they had the evidence to prove it.
Clearly written, an anal fissure, suspected to have been lacerated by a hard object.
Hehe....
Nowadays, people don't care about the truth; as long as there's drama, that's all they need!
Soon, Liu Zhixiong's medical record and the surveillance screenshots started circulating like wildfire on social media.
"Damn, who would've thought, Liu Zhixiong of the Liu Family has such a hobby?"
"Wonder if he's a top or a bottom?"
"Scared me to death, I was just at the Liu mansion a few days ago repairing their surveillance system. Now to think of it, it's chilling, I almost fell into the clutches of evil!"
"That's some hardcore action, all cracked up... that image, grotesquely beautiful!"
....
Liu Family's private hospital.
Liu Zhixiong had just taken a sleeping pill and barely drifted off when a confidant gently woke him up, "Boss, there's a post online smearing you, saying you... have peculiar tastes!"
"Huh, what post?"
Struggling to open his eyes, Liu Zhixiong glanced at his confidant's phone and immediately felt a surge of rage hit him, "Fuck, which bastard is spreading rumors about me? Track him down for me. Once you find him, throw him into the crocodile pond!"
"Boss, calm down, I'll look into it right away!"
With the order given, the confidant hurried out of the room.
"Damn it...."
Clutching his fists, Liu Zhixiong was wide awake, it had been many years since he had suffered such indignity.
If this matter wasn't resolved properly, the Liu Family could become the laughingstock of the East Sea.
"Boss!"
At that moment, a man who looked like a secretary rushed in, his face filled with panic, "Our company's stock just dropped ten percent all of a sudden, it's probably related to that post!"
"Spend money on PR, make that post disappear for good! Damnit, a bunch of idiots, believing whatever they hear, why don't they just go eat shit!"
Liu Zhixiong roared furiously.
The larger the company, the more they fear the outbreak of negative news. This plunge in stock value cost him a fortune, at least several billion in his pocket.
He trembled with rage, feeling the urge to kill rising within him.
At that moment.
Sports hall.
As a soothing melody began to play, a figure dressed in a chiffon shirt and a black tube skirt, exuding an air of elegance, slowly made her way out.
Yan Mingyu's gaze also fell upon her.
The puzzlement in her eyes intensified, as she was certain the woman was a stranger, yet why did she feel so familiar?
