Seeing these big red characters scrolling past, everyone who was already extremely nervous suddenly exclaimed: “Zhuang Li, you can’t leave! Did you find the hacker? Because your opinions were not taken seriously by the supervisor, you contacted the hacker, and attacked the company network?”
Zhuang Li slowly turned around, slowly curling his lips, he was clearly smiling, but there was a dangerous light shining in his eyes.
It seemed like he couldn’t leave now.
The supervisor also ran out of the office and shouted angrily: “Zhuang Li, please explain the current situation to me!”
Immediately afterwards, every landline phone in the office began to ring crazily. Employees from other departments kept calling to ask why the computer was hacked, and without exception they all asked the same question: “Who is Zhuang Li??”
The department head’s cell phone also rang. When he took it out, he saw that it was the boss of the company.
The other person spoke angrily for a long time, which made the department manager break into a cold sweat.
“Mr. Fang, don’t worry, Zhuang Li is by my side… He just submitted a report to me about improving the company’s network operations. I didn’t agree, so he resigned, and I approved it on the spot. It seems that he was offended by this, and then our company’s network was hacked. I suspect that he and the hacker are working together. Yes, yes, yes, I know, I will call the police immediately! I have experts who can solve this problem, don’t worry, okay, okay, goodbye Mr. Fang.”
The supervisor nodded and hung up the phone, then immediately dialed 110. His free hand kept pointing at Zhuang Li, meaning to ask everyone to stop him.
Zhuang Li stood there with his hands folded across his chest, his red lips slightly curved, looking very interested.
Several employees who were good at observing what was happening immediately locked the office door and blocked the corridor with their bodies to prevent him from escaping.
The mean man who had provoked Zhuang Li in the toilet was now sitting in front of a computer, tapping the keyboard with his fingers rapidly, making a crackling sound. His eyes were fixed on the computer screen, and he was obviously having a fierce confrontation with the hacker. It turned out that he was the master described by the supervisor.
The others all gathered around him, watching his dazzling operations with admiring eyes.
The intern also craned his neck to take a look and muttered: “This person’s character is not very good, but his skills are okay.”
Five or six minutes passed, but the blacked out screen still failed to return to normal, and the bright red text continued to scroll. Zhuang Li’s name appeared repeatedly in the hackers’ mouths, like a curse or a public execution. Employees from other departments also came over after hearing the news and pointed at Zhuang Li through the glass window.
Their mouths were saying the same sentence: “Look, that’s the culprit Zhuang Li!”
This was what the hacker wanted to achieve – to make Zhuang Li the target of public criticism; to make Zhuang Li bear all the losses; to make Zhuang Li stand in the dock and be unable to defend himself; to ruin Zhuang Li and make him lose everything!
7480 smiled happily: “Master, who did you offend? He is planning to kill you!”
Zhuang Li strolled towards an idle computer and chuckled, “Who is behind the scenes trying to manipulate me? You’ll know if you take a look at it, right?”
7480 soon realized that when it came to hacking technology, who could beat its own host? He was a man who had even defeated 248! However, Zhu Jianrui who was the protagonist in this world also had a cheat, and he may not lose in a fight with the host!
As soon as 7480 calmed down, the sight in front of him made him pause for breath.
In just a blink of an eye, the host had successfully cracked the hacker’s attack, and used more advanced hacking techniques to restart the company’s network operating procedures, redeploy the servers, and copy the accounts of various instant messaging tools for the staff including their information and email address.
Online backups had been wiped by hackers.
But it didn’t matter. It only took Zhuang Li a few minutes to make an offline backup, restore the most important databases, quickly build several firewalls, and retrieve the lost monitoring components.
The mean man’s fingers were already cramped. He was sweating and shaking his head at the department head. He said in a mournful tone: “Mr. Liao, this hacker is very powerful. I can’t deal with him.”
The department head looked ashen for a moment.
The intern, who had been attracted by Zhuang Li’s actions for a long time, laughed loudly: “What are you so anxious about? Brother Zhuang has already solved the problem.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhuang Li pressed the enter key. With a soft click, the computers whose screens had gone black also returned to normal at the same moment.
Everyone looked at the computer and then at Zhuang Li, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
The mean man was just stunned for a second and then said sternly: “He hired the hacker, of course he can solve it! Mr. Liao, have you called the police? This matter is very serious and must not be kept private!”
“I called the police. Zhuang Li, you are not allowed to leave!”
The supervisor rushed up quickly and tried to pull Zhuang Li away, but was pushed away by the intern, “Don’t disturb Brother Zhuang, he is tracking the hacker!”
“He’s the one who found this person. He’s a bastard, why is he tracking him now! What kind of drama are you doing here with me? If you have anything to do, tell the police!” The department head wanted to bring Zhuang Li to justice, but he was always stopped by the intern.
The two were making trouble when Zhuang Li gently tapped the Enter key and whispered with a smile: “Caught it.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the countless lines of instructions on the computer screen turned into a small window, floating in the upper left corner of the screen.
Two teenagers aged fourteen or fifteen appeared in the window. One was very handsome and the other was chubby. They were talking unscrupulously: “Why did you attack your dad’s company? And even exposed his name? Won’t the police arrest your dad?”
“For your birthday, I asked him for two thousand yuan to buy you a gift, but he was reluctant to give it to me.” The very handsome young man curled his lips disdainfully.
The chubby boy frowned, as if he thought this was inappropriate, “You don’t need to buy me a gift, we could just have a meal. Two thousand yuan is too much.”
The handsome young man immediately added: “It’s not just because of the two thousand yuan. My father is the stingiest person and is reluctant to spend a penny on me. Every time I have to pay the tuition fee, my mother has to cry and beg in front of him. When I was a child, whenever I got sick, the first thing he worried about was not my health, but how much it would cost to see a doctor.”
The chubby boy was filled with indignation and said: “There is such a dad in the world? How abominable! Then you must teach him a lesson!” But then he changed his tone: “Let’s just play with him, don’t make the matter a big deal.”
“I am measured.” The handsome young man nodded in agreement.
The two of them were still operating the computer quickly, unaware that they had been captured by the computer’s built-in camera.
Zhuang Li held his chin in one hand and tapped the table with the other, the smile on his face becoming more and more interesting.
The department head standing behind him murmured in disbelief: “This is your son? Are his hacking skills so good?” Then he thought that if Zhuang Li could easily catch his son, weren’t his skills even more powerful? Then the report he submitted before was also feasible?
Realizing that he had missed a master, the supervisor felt regretful, but he kept up his face and refused to show it.
The mean man also had excellent IT skills, otherwise he wouldn’t be so arrogant. Through several previous confrontations, he had already seen Zhu Jianrui’s methods. This underage child was a top-notch hacker, but Zhuang Li, who caught the child easily, was obviously a master among masters.
Thinking of this, the mean man’s face turned so dark that he couldn’t even look at it. In fact, he had not read the opinion letter that he shredded with his own hands. If he had known that Zhuang Li was so powerful, he should have read it carefully! Even if others couldn’t understand it, could he not understand it?
Unspeakable embarrassment spread in the office.
Zhuang Li tapped the keyboard lightly and sent a sentence to the two children opposite: “Zhu Jianrui, I know it’s you.”
In the window, two teenagers suddenly frowned in surprise and whispered: “Why is our screen black?”
The next second, the two of them suddenly leaned back on their chairs, as if they had seen a ghost.
The chubby boy had a pair of glasses on his face, and the lenses reflected the computer screen in front of them. He saw it suddenly turn pitch black, and slowly roll out a line of repeated red characters – Zhu Jianrui, I know it’s you! Zhu Jianrui, I know it’s you! Zhu Jianrui, I know it’s you…
“You, you, you, you were counterattacked?” the chubby boy asked in disbelief.
The handsome young man’s face turned livid, and his ten fingers struck out on the keyboard, but he was completely unable to reverse the defeat. He was breathing heavily, and his clenched teeth caused two hard muscles to bulge in his cheeks, making his distorted face look very ugly.
The chubby young man asked fearfully: “Who is counterattacking us? Why does he know that your name is Zhu Jianrui?”
The handsome young man ignored him completely, brought up the command box, and quickly entered a string of codes. He was staring straight at the computer screen, the anger in his eyes deepening, like an evil ghost, how could he still have the slightest trace of youthfulness?
However, the angrier he was, the more comfortable Zhuang Li’s smile became. He was also entering codes, but his attitude was as relaxed as if he was playing a game.
The department head stood behind him, looking at Zhu Jianrui in the window with horrified eyes, as he whispered: “This is not raising a son, this is raising a debt collector! Look at his expression, doesn’t he look like a murderer?? This kind of person is usually disowned by all his relatives!”
“Don’t make any noise! Zhuang Li is counterattacking, just watch carefully!” The mean man who had looked down on Zhuang Li before was now looking at him with admiration.
The intern squatted at Zhuang Li’s feet, not even taking a breath.
Zhuang Li used the Windows SMB protocol to enter the target computer, cracked all management passwords through brute force, and then implanted malware to monitor, copy, and destroy the target computer. By controlling this computer, he could also control all smart devices associated with it.
As a result, not only did the boy’s computer screen go black, but the sweeping robot that shared a Wi-Fi with the computer also began to spin around the house at high speed, sweeping everything on the room crazily. The chair was knocked crooked by it, and the shoes were knocked away by it. In the end, it even turned into a top, flew into the air with sparks of electricity, and smashed the chandelier.
The two teenagers were so frightened that they screamed.
However, it was not over yet. The smart central control device placed next to the computer suddenly shouted over and over again: “Zhu Jianrui, I know it’s you! Zhu Jianrui, I know it’s you! Zhu Jianrui, I know it’s you…”
The faces of the two teenagers who were in shock suddenly changed drastically.
Immediately afterwards, the smart curtain closed tightly with a swipe, and opened again with a swipe, over and over without stopping.
The teenagers turned back to check the situation, and the TV behind them also turned on automatically, with a line of big red characters slowly scrolling on the screen: [Zhu Jianrui, I know it’s you!]
The smart speaker suddenly erupted with a loud noise. If you listened carefully, it was the climax of “Symphony of Destiny”. With the “Zhu Jianrui, I know it’s you” that resounded throughout the room and various lamps that kept turning on and off, the atmosphere was unexpectedly… Extremely weird.
Not only this computer, but all the smart devices in the house were now under Zhuang Li’s control.
The department head saw the messy scene over there through the window. While dumbfounded, he also now had a deeper understanding of Zhuang Li’s superb skills.
The handsome young man tried every means but could not release these controls, so he broke the mouse in anger.
The chubby boy looked around the haunted living room of his home and exclaimed in an enthusiastic tone: “This hacker is simply amazing!”
