TING!
"Sir, someone seems to have hacked into our government servers."
"Have you found out their address?"
"Sir, the address given is..... unknown? How is that possible?"
TING!
"Sir, there's a hacker trying to get in through special server 2**A***4D."
TING!
TING!
TING!
"Sir, our servers have all been hacked. There's a bug stopping us from patching up the leak."
"Sir, here also-"
"Sir, data leakage might occur-"
"FU*K! THIS IS CONFIDENTIAL SH*T! SO IF ANY RESEARCH GETS IN THE HANDS OF THAT GODDA** HACKER, I'LL KILL EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU! THE FU*K YOU WAITING FOR?
CONTACT EVERY ONE OF THOSE HACKING BASTA**S AND TELL THEM TO START A COUNTERATTACK!", the leader in charge of the research division, named Han Feng, started yelling loud enough to be heard across the entire room.
"Sir, counterattack failed. Target seems to be having a special firewall."
"THEN CONTACT EVERY SECURITY COMPANY IN OUR COUNTRY AND TELL THEM TO PROVIDE DETAILS OF THAT FIREWALL! TELL THEM THAT ANYONE WHO DOESN'T HELP US IS IN TREASON AGAINST THE COUNTRY!", Han Feng's shouts could be heard clearly.
"Sir, the hacker seems to have receded from attacking. YES! Sir, we can say that he has withdrawn from our server."
"Eh!? But why would he do that? A few more seconds and our information might be in his hands..... Unless..... he already got the information he was looking for", said Han Feng. A deadly silence spread in the room. "If any information was leaked the chief would personally kill every single one of us. Check all details of the military thoroughly. Check where he might've looked into and what files he was looking at. I need all details by-"
"SIR, he seems to have looked at nothing which included military secrets", said a soldier.
"Then what was he-"
"Sir, he seemed to have looked at information of Public Welfare Offices, Department of Education and Citizen Info of certain individuals", replied another person.
"Who was he looking at?" Han Feng and every single person in the room was intrigued. Why would someone hack into a military base full of national-level secrets and a punishment of several years if caught just to look for a single person?
"Who was he looking at?"
"Sorry, sir. Everything else was fully cleared by him."

[A certain Bank in Xiwang City]
"Sir, some of our customers have fully transferred their entire funds to certain places."
"Uh? Who and how much?"
"Sir, all of these accounts are related to our VIP customer named Lin. They've transferred a total of 41 billion yuan to certain orphanages all across the country as well as to the education plan of orphans so that they can study up-to middle school and 1 billion to a private account."
"God, if I had that much money I would've..... Um, so anyway, I guess it's good that they're donating their money to orphanages. They have too much money..", said the leader of the transfer division.
"Don't mind it. Those guys are filthy rich", he continued while sighing.

[Lin Family, Xiwang City]
"Ye Chen will die", said an old man whose body looked quite sturdy for his age.
His name is Lin Qiong. The founder of an empire of billions as well as the grandfather of Lin Qiming. With power and influence to rival the biggest families in the country, they had a net-worth of 35 billion and they had recently taken a loan of 7 billion to promote their company around the world. Their stocks company could rake in at least one billion per month. Lin Qiong had a son and a daughter. His son's name was Qixiong and he had a son named Li Qiming. His daughter was named Li Qixian and she had a daughter named Zhang Wei. Lin Qiong had broken up his relationship with his daughter because she wanted to marry an unknown person named Zhang Yong and start her own technology company rather than managing his company. After their isolation from the Li family, they never had any contact each other and Qiong always paid more attention to his son.
A sound of police sirens rang throughout the entire building.
RING!
The bell rang.
"Who is it?", asked Li Qiong.
"Dad, I'll tell you. Just sit here," said Li Qixiong, standing up.
The door of the room where they were sitting in burst open and suddenly armed people came in an orderly fashion to the room.
"What is it? Do you know who we are? How dare you come-"
"You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you," said a soldier who seemed to be the leader of the forces.
"WHAT? WHO DO YOU THINK YOU'RE TALKING TO, HUH?"
"Lin Qiong and Lin Qixiong- you are suspected of treason of leaking confidential information of the government, bribery, loan fraud and killing of certain individuals by paying for their assassination. Your arrest warrant has been prepared with the highest order of law," replied the soldier.
"WHA-"
"NO, WAIT. I NEED TO-"
"Take them away, boys."

"Lin Stocks Corporation - build on deaths of others?"
"The Lin family - how many secrets do they have?"
"The story behind the man - Lin Qiong."
The entire media was buzzing with the accusations of crimes about Lin Qiong and his son Lin Qiming. Some said that they covered up their deeds with power, money and influence until this came along.
Only a handful of people knew that this was a conspiracy to put them behind bars.

"Mr. Han, the hacker who came into our servers left a special residue file when going out. We haven't viewed it yet for the probability of it being a virus. Since enough time has passed after the outer examination of the file, should we open it now?", special security officer Dong Meng asked Han Feng.
"Yeah, sure."
All members of the internet security team were gathered in front of a large screen which had a file called "D.B" on it.
Everyone held their breath as Dong Meng opened the file.
And then the screen went pitch-black.
"I know that the members of the military are currently watching. This is not a live video and, therefore, questions can't be answered", an electronic voice sounded.
"Right now, there are two people in Xiwang City who offended me - Lin Qiong and Qixiong. Charge them with false cases to destroy their reputation as well as to solve media criticism. If the military does not meet these conditions of mine or try to put the blame on me, I will release all information of special forces and informers located within the country as well as information related to your firewall."
Han Feng's face went pale when this was said. As the leader of the security division, it was his job to ensure that their firewall was strong enough to resist attacks from various sources.
The voice continued, "However, if the military listens to these conditions of mine, I will create a firewall that can rival or even surpass those of certain others. You do not have to worry about their bank accounts. I'll take care the rest. You have 1 hour to make a decision and 1 hour to solve it. If I do not hear any response within these two hours, I will do what I said."
Han Feng's face went from pale white to a normal. In fact, he was excited. Who wouldn't want a firewall created by a hacker who could single-handedly destroy them? He could've already finished them, but he didn't. This alone was enough to prove that this was a deal in which they had only gains.
"Since this video is a specially created program, it will self-destroy in 5sec, 4sec, 3sec, 2sec, 1sec....."
The screen that was pitch-black returned to normal.
However before anyone reacted, two words flashed on the screen:-
"DARK BLADE"
