Qin Sheng, having posted her advertisement on Black Emperor, proceeded to another specialized forum, where she broadcasted the same message, only adding a note that she had triumphed over Universe's Top Player, who was ranked eighth on Black Emperor.
Some spectators, ever eager for drama, took screenshots and sent them to Lu Ming.
Lu Ming was livid, his anger boiling over. The audacity! How dare they push it even further! He refused to believe that no one could handle this insufferable brat.
Fuming, Lu Ming dialed Fu Hanchuan. "Brother, your adorable little brother has been wronged. Help me teach him a lesson."
Fu Hanchuan, standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "What's happened?"
Lu Ming's eyes lit up—was Fu Hanchuan about to agree?
He proceeded to embellish the story, exaggerating the events with fervor.
"Brother, you're the top-ranked hacker on Black Emperor. If you step in, that insolent brat will surely be put in his place."
Fu Hanchuan opened his computer and his gaze fell upon QS, who now held the eighth position on Black Emperor. In the hacking community, defeating a hacker ranked above you would elevate your ranking, hence QS now held the eighth position while Universe's Top Player had fallen to ninth.
"QS," Fu Hanchuan's heartbeat quickened as he thought of Qin Sheng. QS was the first letter of Qin Sheng's name.
His slender, elegant fingers hovered over the keyboard, but he hesitated, his mind filled with images of Qin Sheng at her computer, typing with a carefree smile.
After a moment's reflection, he sighed and ceased his actions.
"Handle it yourself," Fu Hanchuan said, ending the call.
On the other end, Lu Ming's anxious voice persisted. "Hey, brother, brother, haven't you agreed to help?"
Fu Hanchuan's gaze lingered on the name QS before shifting away. He browsed through QS's posts and responses.
Two words came to mind to describe her: audacious and arrogant.
Fu Hanchuan smiled. His little girl was obedient and well-mannered. Surely, this QS couldn't be her—he was likely overthinking it.
Fu Hanchuan exited Black Emperor and picked up his phone, his eyes falling on the screen displaying Sheng Sheng.
Was she asleep?
Just then, a message arrived.
[Sheng Sheng: Brother Fu, are you free tomorrow?]
Fu Hanchuan contemplated canceling all his plans for the day. Without hesitation, he tapped out a reply, "Yes, what do you need?"
He hesitated, deleting the final phrase, and simply sent, "Yes."
Qin Sheng's response was swift. "Brother Fu, could you assist me in acquiring a bank card using your credentials?"
Currently, all of Qin Sheng's information was under Qin Hai's control, especially such a large sum of money. Qin Hai would undoubtedly be aware. Before severing ties with Qin Hai, she could not reveal her identity.
Seeing Qin Sheng's message, Fu Hanchuan's eyes were filled with warmth. She trusted him enough to handle such a request?
"Certainly."
He sent the message and, after a moment's thought, added, "I am available at any time tomorrow."
When Qin Sheng read Fu Hanchuan's message, a wave of warmth surged through her. He had never refused her. She couldn't understand why, in her previous life, she had distanced herself from him due to Qin Churou.
---
Fu Hanchuan's appearance stirred the entire Black Emperor community.
C, the top-ranked hacker on Black Emperor, rarely made appearances. His visits could be counted on one's fingers. He was an entity even more audacious and arrogant than QS!
Whenever he appeared, he would challenge and mercilessly defeat hackers in the top ten, leaving them unable to touch their computers for nearly a month. He had even breached Black Emperor's system.
Maintaining the number one ranking for four years, C's exploits had become the stuff of legend.
This time, seeing him online, everyone expected him to wreak havoc again. The seats were ready for the show, only to find that he had merely dropped by for a brief visit before leaving?
The hackers had eagerly awaited C's return to Black Emperor, but now they wished they had never seen him again. They were fed up, their enthusiasm thoroughly extinguished.
