Like the previous animations, Zhu Miaomiao in a white skirt was still walking on the dim street, but she was holding a black garbage bag in her hand.
Walking to a trash can, she looked around, then quickly threw the trash bag in. After she left, a wild cat scurried into the trash can, opened the bag with its paws and sniffed it gently.
Lying in the bag was a newborn baby, with a blood-stained umbilical cord attached to his belly. His eyes were closed, his mouth was slightly open, and he was crying weakly. But in this deserted night, no one could hear his cry for help. The wild cat licked his face tenderly, and then bit him on the neck.
A string of big bloody characters jumped up on the screen—quadrokill!
Zhu Miaomiao was so frightened that she screamed, then she slammed her phone on the ground and kept stepping on it with her feet. The screen shattered, and the ghostly background sound used in the animation finally stopped.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but their faces turned darker.
Zhu Jianrui took a deep breath and kept telling himself that those animations were fake, fake, fake…it was something that had never happened, and then he calmed down his violently turbulent mind.
However, soon, the ghostly background sound came faintly again, like a ghost that followed them everywhere.
Zhu Miaomiao was so frightened that she hugged Gong Xuanlin’s arm tightly, her eyes turned randomly, and her face was full of panic and anxiety.
Zhu Jianrui took out his mobile phone and watched the animation that started playing automatically and quickly jumped to part 5. He said hoarsely: “It’s my mobile phone ringing. This video is a virus. If we don’t watch it, it will continuously autoplay itself.”
“Can you solve it?” Gong Xuanlin asked in a deep voice.
“No problem, the anti-virus software I developed can kill it.” Zhu Jianrui called up the anti-virus software and started scanning his phone, so the automatically played video was deleted.
However, the next second, the video on Gong Xuanlin’s mobile phone started playing again and automatically jumped to part 5. It seemed that Zhuang Li was determined to let them watch all the animations.
Since Gong Xuanlin’s mobile phone did not have the anti-virus software independently developed by Zhu Jianrui installed, they were unable to stop this toxic animation.
This time, Zhu Miaomiao, who was wearing a white skirt, was not walking on the street at night, but standing in a shabby rental house. She bent down and slapped a little boy on the head. The little boy’s face was very similar to Zhu Jianrui in reality.
A dialog box popped up above Zhu Miaomiao’s head: [Mom is going to work, you be good at home.]
A bubble also popped up on the top of the little boy’s head: [Yeah, goodbye, mom.]
Zhu Miaomiao left the rental house with her shoulder bag.
The little boy stood on tiptoes to pick up the kettle on the table, but because he was too weak and not tall enough, the spout tipped towards him.
The scalding water poured all over the little boy, and a string of big bloody characters jumped onto the screen – pentakill!
The ghostly sound stopped suddenly, and the animation finally ended, but Zhu Miaomiao’s scream continued. She kept shaking her head, with tears in her eyes, as if she was extremely wronged.
But Zhu Jianrui had no intention of comforting her. Instead, he rolled up his sleeves and unconsciously rubbed the uneven scars all over his right arm. He was scalded by boiling water when he was three years old. The scene was almost the same as in the animation, except that what Zhu Miaomiao said to him at that time was not “Mom is going to work”, but “Mom is going shopping”.
She left a three-year-old child at home alone to go shopping.
If Zhu Jianrui hadn’t been smart since he was a child and knew how to save himself, he would have died miserably and silently on the spot.
Afterwards, he experienced a high fever that lasted for half a month and severe pain that lasted for several months. In order to cure him, Zhuang Li borrowed a lot of money, and the huge debt almost crushed his spine. It was also at that time that when she heard that her son was sick, she subconsciously asked: “How much will it cost?”
Without Zhuang Li, Zhu Jianrui would indeed have died that time. As a son, he knew better than anyone what kind of person Zhu Miaomiao was. She was delicate, timid, had no opinion, and had no ability to work, but she loved to enjoy herself. It was better to expect that there would never be war in the world than to expect her to make money to support her child.
With the little money she earned, it was not even enough to buy her own clothes. How could she send Zhu Jianrui to the hospital for long-term treatment?
Although this animation was imaginary, it was based on reality and was completely logical.
Zhu Jianrui didn’t want to be brainwashed by Zhuang Li, but he couldn’t help it. That painful memory had become a psychological shadow that he could never erase.
He looked at Zhu Miaomiao, the resentment in his eyes revealed unconsciously.
Gong Xuanlin, who had also learned about this past incident from Zhu Miaomiao, had a livid face and tried hard to suppress the anger in his chest.
Zhu Miaomiao wanted to snatch the mobile phones of her son and husband, but they pushed her away without mercy. There were many secrets hidden in their communication tools, which could not be taken away and damaged by others.
Zhu Miaomiao covered her mouth and cried with tears in her eyes: “Husband, you have to believe me. I would definitely raise my son well. No matter how much hardship I have to endure, I will not let our son suffer. Isn’t he a good boy now? Really? He is very well-behaved and smart!”
Gong Xuanlin yelled irritably: “Stop crying!”
If she had said this before he had met Zhuang Li, he would have believed it 100%, and would have loved Zhu Miaomiao very much and compensated her twice as much. However, after seeing the thick stack of bills, he could no longer believe any of Zhu Miaomiao’s words.
She said that she had been very miserable and tired over the past few years. But judging from the bill, Gong Xuanlin really didn’t know where she was suffering or tired. She didn’t even work a day.
If it weren’t for his smart son, he would never look favorably on a woman like Zhu Miaomiao. An eighteen-year-old girl who didn’t know the world was cute and innocent; but a thirty-two-year-old woman who didn’t know the world was stupid! Fourteen years had passed, and she had not grown at all. This was really hard for Gong Xuanlin to accept.
He endured the disgust in his heart and handed the phone to his son, “Help me kill the virus.”
Zhu Jianrui loaded the anti-virus software into his father’s mobile phone, checked it over and over again, and scanned it several times with a Trojan horse scanner. He said firmly: “Okay, the phone has been cleaned.”
Gong Xuanlin took the phone back and checked it himself. After making sure there was no problem, he said with satisfaction: “I will take you back to the old house for dinner later. Your uncle wants to meet you.”
“Okay.” Zhu Jianrui nodded obediently.
The two of them did not mention Zhu Miaomiao throughout the whole process, and they had obviously reached a consensus-this woman was too unworthy to be brought to the Gong family for the time being.
….
On the other side, Zhuang Li was sitting lazily on the balcony of the hotel in a nightgown, with a computer beside him. There were three mobile phone operation interfaces arranged on the computer screen. The middle one had a black screen, and the interfaces on both sides were running a program to detect viruses and Trojans.
Through that animation, he had broken through the brador backdoor program and implanted a Trojan horse in the mobile phones of Zhu Miaomiao, Gong Xuanlin and Zhu Jianrui. Through this Trojan, he could remotely download all the files in the three people’s mobile phones and completely control their mobile phones.
He dragged his cheeks and watched with interest as Zhu Jianrui was busy killing viruses.
7480 sighed: “Master, you are provoking them again!”
The original owner didn’t do anything and yet he was treated so badly. The host repeatedly took the initiative to provoke them, he would definitely suffer more violent revenge in the future! Gong Xuanlin and Zhu Jianrui were not good people, not to mention that there was one Gong Xuanqi standing behind them, who was a ruthless character who could kill without blood.
When the three people got together, he didn’t know what kind of vicious plan they would come up with. You know, just the bill the host brought out was enough to turn Gong Xuanlin into a joke. The dignified CEO of the Gong Group had asked a small person to help support his wife and children for more than ten years. Where could he put his face?
Come on, come on, let the revenge come more violently! The host was just a powerless orphan, he wanted to see how he could resist the Gong family’s revenge! The enemy was in the dark and the host was in the light. This time he was dead!
Thinking of this, 7480 rubbed his hands excitedly, but suddenly heard Zhu Miaomiao’s sharp voice coming from the computer: “Xuanlin, Xiao Rui, why don’t you let me in?”
Gong Xuanlin’s voice was very cold: “I’ll have someone take you back to the hotel first. My eldest brother doesn’t want to see you.”
“But I am Xiao Rui’s mother! I will marry you in the future! Do you not want to marry me just because of that animation?” Zhu Miaomiao shouted in horror.
“Mom, please go back first. Dad and I have something to do. The driver will drive you.” Zhu Jianrui’s tone was also very cold.
The sound of the engine gradually faded away, and clear footsteps could be heard faintly, pattering, as if someone was walking in the narrow corridor. There was a long buzzing sound, a certain door was pushed open, and a majestic and steady voice said with a smile: “Is this Xiao Rui? He looks so much like his father. Sit down, don’t be nervous, this is your home too. I am your uncle, you should have often seen me on TV, right?”
The sound of leather rubbing against fabric came from the sound. It must be Gong Xuanlin and Zhu Jianrui sitting down on the sofa.
Zhu Jianrui’s voice was full of reverence: “Hello, uncle.”
Gong Xuanlin couldn’t wait to speak: “Brother, Zhuang Li is also a hacker, and his skills are better than Xiao Rui. Look at these bills, he has sorted them out.”
The sound of paper being turned was heard for a while.
Gong Xuanqi pondered: “I heard that Xiao Rui is Blackbeard?”
“Yes.” Gong Xuanlin’s tone was filled with obvious pride.
“Blackbeard just defeated Buddha, the world’s number one hacker. According to you, isn’t Zhuang Li’s hacking technology number one in the world?” Gong Xuanqi questioned.
Gong Xuanlin remained silent for a long time.
Zhu Jianrui’s voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth: “Uncle, I am indeed Blackbeard, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to get the American national defense report. You have also read the report before. Whether it is true or false, you and the think tank should know best. You have such a big advantage in the election, isn’t it all because of the information I provided? You don’t need to doubt me. Zhuang Li’s skills are better than mine, I admit that.”
Gong Xuanqi didn’t speak for a long time, and after a while he murmured: “That’s going to be difficult. Hackers are hard to deal with.”
Gong Xuanqi gritted his teeth and said, “Brother, Zhuang Li is extorting 328 million from me. What do you think I should do?”
Another unspeakable silence came from the mobile phone interface.
After more than ten seconds, Gong Xuanqi said calmly, “Then let him disappear forever. Fabricate some evidence, such as hiding drugs or something, and let him go to jail. After that, I will have someone deal with him in jail. 328 million, he really dares to say this. I want to see if he can get the money alive. By the way, he used to work at MIK, right? Xiao Rui, are you interested in managing the company? How about practicing with MIK?”
This was Gong Xuanqi’s test for Zhu Jianrui. If he could acquire MIK in a short period of time and bring the company’s performance to a higher level, the Gong family would officially recognize him as the successor.
Zhu Jianrui happily agreed.
Gong Xuanlin took out his cell phone and said, “Brother, I’m going to find someone to deal with Zhuang Li.”
At the same time, a mobile phone interface displayed on Zhuang Li’s computer screen changed. It automatically opened the address book, found a person named mima, and sent an inexplicable message: “It’s dark.”
mima immediately replied: “I never sleep at night.”
After that, the mobile phone interface sent over Zhuang Li’s headshot.
mima opened the photo and looked at it but did not reply.
Zhuang Li squinted at this scene, with a strange smile on his face.
Gong Xuanqi’s relaxed laughter also came from this mobile phone interface: “Let’s go and eat.” The chair moved, footsteps sounded, pat pat pat pat, as they gradually walked to a certain place…
Zhuang Li took a sip of the coffee, then raised his chin, looking at the green forest in the distance, as he sighed softly and lengthily: “Now it’s fun.”
7480, who originally thought that the host would be secretly rubbed to death by the Gong family: “…”
“Master, you actually infiltrated Gong Xuanlin and Zhu Jianrui’s mobile phones? Won’t you know their plans all the time?” 7480 shouted in a panic.
