Si Jingyun's gaze lingered on her for a few seconds before he lowered his head slightly. His voice was sultry paired with a smile.
"Jinny, don't wrongly accuse me."
Lu Jinqi calmly tilted her head to avoid his gaze.
Si Jingyun did not care about this either. He picked up a meat skewer and handed it over.
One of them ate while the other handed it over. The atmosphere was harmonious.
The few of them who witnessed the entire process suddenly felt that the meat in their hands was not fragrant at all.
"I'm suddenly full," Wen Yu put down the food and said quietly.
Xiao Yao took a bite of the meat and echoed, "Me too. Jinqi, can you consider the feelings of us single people?"
When Lu Jinqi heard this, her beautiful brows raised slightly. She looked at him with interest. "Why? Do you want a younger sister as well?"
"Uh-"
Hearing this, Xiao Yao suddenly choked. His hands kept patting his chest, and his face started to turn red. He did not know if he was embarrassed or angry by that statement.
Lu Jinqi sat there calmly, a faint smile on his face. "You seem excited. I'll arrange it for you later."
"Hahaha!"
Everyone burst into laughter. Even Si Jingyun's lips curled into a faint smile.
"There's no need." Xiao Yao's entire body trembled as he shook his head repeatedly.
The thought of a girl calling him brother made his hair stand on end.
Suddenly, Lu Jinqi's phone rang. She looked down and hung up.
"Lu Jinqi, why aren't you picking up?" Xie Lingchuan asked casually.
"It's a salesman, there's no need to pick it up." Lu Jinqi's expression was calm.
The barbecue night ended perfectly amidst the noisy group.
During that time, Lu Jinqi's phone rang twice, but she immediately denied the call.
No one suspected that the number was not a salesman. Only Si Jingyun's gaze looked like he was deep, deep in thought.
"Jinqi, are you going back to the hotel?"
Xie Shuyao looked at the time and asked.
"You guys go back first, I have something to do." Before they could react, Lu Jinqi put on her mask and quickly left.
Si Jingyun watched her leave and frowned before getting into the car.
…
Lu Jinqi put on her voice changer and quickly returned the pestering call.
"What's up?"
The guy on the other end of the phone rolled his eyes and snapped, "J, you hung up on me three times, what are you doing?"
"Something came up just now, it wasn't the best time to pick up your call." Lu Jinqi rubbed the space between her brows. "Why did you call me so many times, what's wrong?"
Netherworld heard J's tired voice and went straight to the point. "There's a contract. The reward is one billion."
After hearing that, Lu Jinqi stopped in her tracks. One billion? Which id*ot had so much money to waste?
"Such a high reward, and no one accepted it?"
On the other side, Netherworld smiled bitterly. "This contract is a little too special, so everyone rejected it."
Lu Jinqi raised her eyebrows. Everyone who rejected the contract made the contract itself more enticing.
Her red lips parted slightly. "What's the content like?"
"Hacking into Z Nation's research institute to steal the latest research materials."
Hearing this, Lu Jinqi clenched her fists tightly. "Who placed the order?"
His eyes were bloodshot as the corners of his lips curled up into a cold smile. Netherworld shook his head. "I don't know. This is an anonymous list."
"I'll do it." Lu Jinqi hung up and went to the internet cafe.
She randomly found a computer in the corner and went to M.K.'s website and saw the list of requests on the main page.
A vicious look flashed past her eyes. Her fingers moved quickly and all kinds of code started to run. In her previous life, although she had been used as an experiment, it was undeniable that she still had a patriotic heart.
According to the list, she locked onto the address of the person who placed the order. The moment she saw that it was from M Nation's research institute, Lu Jinqi's entire body was filled with ruthlessness. Suddenly, a strange smile blossomed on her lips.
Her fingers slowly tapped on the keyboard as she completed the contract.
She successfully broke through the M Nation research institute's firewall and slowly browsed through their research data. Her exquisite eyes were filled with deadly intent.
With such research, it was no wonder that the person wanted her country's data.
Lu Jinqi smiled sarcastically.
She calmly deleted the data and hacked into the M Nation's largest database, arrogantly leaving behind two pictures and a paragraph.
…
M Nation's research institute was in a state of panic. Half an hour ago, someone had broken through their firewall.
They quickly sent people to find expert hackers, but they could not do anything. They could only watch as their research data got completely deleted.
"Who is it?" The person in charge of the research institute stared at the screen ferociously and roared.
For a moment, no one dared to speak. They lowered their heads in silence. Suddenly, his phone rang. As soon as it was picked up, the other party started cursing loudly.
"What's going on with the experimental data? This matter is being broadcasted on all the other big screens." The other party paused for a moment, and his tone carried a threat, "No matter what, you have to give me a reasonable answer to this matter. Otherwise, you can leave and never come back."
The members of the research institute saw that their person in charge had received a phone call and his expression turned from bad to worse.
They saw him kick over the chair and wave his hand to push away all the things on the table, venting his anger.
One of the members carefully went forward. "Director, what's wrong?"
When he heard the question, the man's eyes stared at him sharply. After a long while, he averted his gaze.
"Go and see what's going on outside. Hurry up and take it down."
The man turned his head and said to the hacker.
Outside?
The hacker was stunned for a moment and quickly started to operate the computer. As time passed, more and more beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
How could this be? Why could he not delete it?
In the end, he could only give up and dejectedly report his failings, "That person's hacking skills are too good. I can't delete it."
Hearing that, the man took something closeby and threw it over. He kept cursing, "Trash, you're all a bunch of trash."
…
It was almost midnight in China. Hacker J's topic suddenly appeared on Weibo's trending search.
As it was very late, not many people paid attention to it. However, this topic even trended the next morning and quickly exploded in popularity.
Xiao Yao got into class late as usual and entered the classroom. He saw a group of people discussing intensely and patted the shoulder of the boy at the door.
He raised his head and asked, "What's up?" His shoulder was suddenly patted by someone. The boy thought that it was the teacher and was so scared that he turned around. When he saw who it was, he relaxed.
"Xiao Yao, can you not do this next time?"
Xiao Yao angrily patted him again. "I'm asking you, what's up?"
The boy was so excited that his face was flushed red. He took out his phone and pointed at Weibo's trending search. "This hacker J is really too amazing. They deleted all the research materials of M Nation all by themself."
Hearing this, Xiao Yao's interest was piqued. People still do that nowadays?
He could not wait to take out his phone and tap into Weibo. He browsed through it slowly, and after seeing what had happened, he could not help but exclaim in admiration.
"Holy sh*t, this godly b*stard. This move must've slapped M Nation hard in the face!"
It turned out that there was a girl from M country studying abroad in Z country. When she was shopping in the mall, she realized that all the commercial advertisements on the big screen had changed.
When she took a closer look, she was shocked by the content. As an M citizen, she knew how difficult it was for her country's research to be leaked.
If it was not for hacker J, no one else could have succeeded.
At that moment, anger and excitement intertwined in her heart. Without hesitation, she took a video and posted it on Weibo.
