Zhu Jianrui was like a mad cow, his eyeballs were covered with redness, and he was still panting heavily.

The chubby boy couldn’t feel his frustration at all. He pushed his shoulders and urged him excitedly: “Hurry up and attack him! Didn’t you say that your skills are the best in the country? Oh my god, I can actually see a battle between top hackers with my own eyes, I’m so lucky!”

Zhu Jianrui took a deep breath, and then continued to enter commands frantically.

Three or four minutes later, he raised his head, his eyes redder than before, and his originally handsome face was distorted into an inhuman shape due to resentment.

“I can’t break through his firewall!” He gritted his teeth and said: “This is the HBG firewall. The security factor is much higher than the firewalls I just broke through. Even if we crack the firewall password, we can only use the HBG system. In order to log in, we have to go to MIK, find a computer in their company, crack the password, and then enter the firewall. However, if we really do this, the hackers over there will track it immediately to our IP address and capture us.”

The chubby boy sighed, “Is he so powerful? Is this hacker forcing you to surrender?”

Zhu Jianrui shook his head and said: “No, no one will be stupid enough to do that. He is not forcing us to surrender, he is just defending.” He closed his eyes and reluctantly admitted: “The defense system he designed is very awesome, I can’t break it.”

The chubby boy looked at the computer screen, then at Zhu Jianrui’s dark face, and his tone was full of disbelief: “MIK is just a small company, where did they find such a powerful hacker?”

After hearing the conversation between the two teenagers, the department head looked at Zhuang Li with a look full of surprise and a hint of suspicion. Of course he wouldn’t believe the lie that Zhu Jianrui’s skills were the best in the country, so he couldn’t feel Zhuang Li’s awesomeness.

Moreover, the more the two expressed their respect for Zhuang Li, the more he suspected that this attack and defense was a joint performance by the father and son, with the purpose of attracting the company’s attention to Zhuang Li.

But the intern and the mean man had completely different ideas than their supervisor.

They had a very good knowledge of this area, and naturally they also knew that the boy’s hacking skills, if not the best in the country but were at least at the top level in the world. In the field of hacking, the younger the children, the more they could not be ignored. They were able to stand out in this dangerous field at a young age, so their talents must be very terrifying.

However, Zhuang Li, who was able to hang up and beat this young genius, was even more skilled.

The intern and the mean man often hung out in the company’s security system, so they naturally knew that the company had no HBG firewall at all. But after Zhuang Li took over the backend management program, this extremely secure firewall appeared. Who built it? The answer was self-evident.

Seeing the supervisor curling his lips, as if he was disdainful of Zhuang Li’s technology, the mean man whispered: “HBG firewall is the most secure type of firewall. This kind of firewall is installed and used in the White House, Pentagon, national defense systems and the private computers of well-known politicians. To pass through this firewall, the user and the user’s computer need to be authenticated by the firewall at the same time, and the login address is absolutely not allowed to be changed. Once changed, authentication must be carried out again, and the process is very complicated.”

The supervisor was stunned: “Is it so powerful? Even the White House of the United States uses it?”

“Yes,” the mean man whispered: “What’s even more amazing is that Brother Zhuang built such a large and complex security system in ten minutes, while in the United States it seemed that it took a team of experts several weeks to complete. I can assure you that Brother Zhuang’s skills are definitely among the best in the world, and he is qualified to serve as a security adviser to the White House in the United States.”

The mean man gave a thumbs up, the meanness on his face replaced by adoration.

The department head who finally realized how powerful Zhuang Li was, was so surprised that he could hardly close his mouth. The mean man was a close disciple of the head technician of a certain IT giant, a high-tech talent hired back by the supervisor with an annual salary of 600,000 yuan.

At that time, the director once said: “If you take my little apprentice back, everyone in your department won’t have to work hard. His skills alone can be worth ten people.”

After joining the company, the mean man did show his strength, so the department head was very convinced of his judgment.

“Comparing Zhuang Li’s skills with your teacher’s, which one is more powerful?” the supervisor asked curiously.

The mean man shook his head without thinking, “Compared to Brother Zhuang, my teacher is not very good. The topic my teacher is currently studying is multiple firewall technology, and several important theories have been used by Brother Zhuang in actual combat. No, I have to take a photo of Brother Zhuang’s operation and send it to my teacher for a look.”

The mean man took out his mobile phone and circled Zhuang Li to take pictures, then pointed it at his computer screen.

The department head slapped his forehead and finally realized what stupid things he had done. With Zhuang Li here, why would he spend an annual salary of 600,000 to hire a yellow-haired boy? Zhuang Li’s price/performance ratio was much higher! Why did he just stamp Zhuang Li’s resignation letter so simply?

In annoyance, the handsome young man in the window suddenly slapped the table and shouted, “I’ve thought of a way!”

“What can you do?” the chubby boy asked immediately.

The mean man and the intern also said in unison, “What method can he think of? This is the HBG firewall. How can he break through it from the outside?”

Zhuang Li chuckled and said, “He finally has some brains. Supervisor,” he lazily ordered, “please act more naturally when you answer the phone later.”

The mean man and the intern said in unison again: “Brother Zhuang, do you know what he wants to do?”

The supervisor bent down and wanted to carefully question him with a stern look on his face, when he heard the handsome young man in the window say: “Technically, I can’t break through his firewall yet, but I can start with people. In this way, I can use the Voice Changer I designed and call MIK’s head of cybersecurity and ask him to open the firewall from the inside so I could get in.”

“Zhu Jianrui, you are so smart!” The chubby boy immediately became excited.

The two checked the whereabouts of MIK’s senior executives and found that a boss from the public relations department was on a business trip, so they stole the other’s identity.

So soon, the department head received a call. He took out his mobile phone and saw that the name of the boss was dancing on the screen. When he answered the phone, it was also the voice of the boss. The other party shouted “Lao Zhang” in an arrogant tone.

At the same time, the fat boy in the window also called Lao Zhang in the same tone.

The department head looked at the phone screen, then at the computer window, and then was completely stunned. After a long while, he tentatively shouted: “Mr. Wang?”

The fat boy in the window ordered: “Old Zhang, I was on a business trip, but my laptop was stolen, and I forgot the password for the management backend. Please open the firewall for me. I want to use the hotel computer to log in to the company network. What do you do? Come on, I have something important!”

At the same time, Mr. Wang’s unique rough voice came from the department head’s cell phone: “Old Zhang, I was on a business trip, my laptop was stolen, and I forgot the password for the management backend. Please open the firewall for me. I need to use the hotel computer to log in to the company network. Hurry up, I have something important!”

Every word was the same and every word was correct!

If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes and heard it with his own ears, the department head would never believe that this flawless phone call was a shocking scam!

He stared at his phone in disbelief, his head almost splitting.

Zhuang Li held his chin and said casually: “It seems that in order to deal with me, Zhu Jianrui put a lot of thought into it. He recorded the phone numbers and voices of all the top executives of MIK. He only needs to design a simple program, and he can use any executive’s voice to make calls.”

“But the caller ID…” The department head covered the phone and muttered in disbelief.

Before Zhuang Li could speak, the mean man said with disdain: “Changing the caller ID is the simplest hacking technique. Only people like you who don’t know shit will be fooled!”

While he was talking, the fat boy in the window was impatient and urged: “Old Zhang, what are you doing? Why don’t you open the firewall quickly?”

At the same time, Mr. Wang’s rough voice came from the department head’s cell phone: “Old Zhang, Old Zhang, what are you doing? Why don’t you open the firewall quickly?”

Department heads:”……”

Other colleagues:”……”

For some reason, they suddenly felt that the actions of these two teenagers were a bit funny. They really wanted to pity them for a second.

The tense atmosphere was unconsciously replaced by a strong sense of comedy. When everyone covered their mouths with suppressed laughter, Zhuang Li tapped the keyboard and turned on his built-in camera.

Another window was suspended in the upper right corner of the computer screen, and Zhuang Li’s figure was clearly visible in it.

“Hello.” He leaned back on the chair, folded his hands on his knees, a slight smile on his handsome face, and a circle of melon-eating people standing behind him. It didn’t look like he was playing against top hackers, but more like he was watching a show.

“Zhuang Li?” Zhu Jianrui was stunned.

The chubby boy shouted in shock: “He turned on our camera! When did it happen? Why didn’t the indicator light come on? There was no feedback from the program!” He stretched out his fat hand and kept touching the lens, but he couldn’t figure out the reason.

The melon-eaters standing behind Zhuang Li complained in their hearts: The cameras have been turned on long ago, okay! If Brother Zhuang didn’t say hello, you would not have found out in your lifetime.

As if he felt that this stimulation was not enough, Zhuang Li raised his index finger on his left side and said in a lazy tone: “Let me introduce to you, this is Lao Zhang who you are contacting.”

The department head bent down and looked at the camera, put his mobile phone to his ear and said, “Hello, kids.”

At the same time, the department manager’s voice came from the fat boy’s cell phone: “Hello, kids.”

Zhu Jianrui’s face was distorted inch by inch.

The chubby boy gradually turned to stone.

The department head smiled awkwardly but politely at the camera and said into the microphone: “Sorry, I can’t open the firewall for you.”

Finally realizing that they seemed to have been under Zhuang Li’s surveillance for a long time, and that their various performances were watched by so many people, which made them look extremely stupid, the two teenagers’ mentality completely collapsed.
