Haishi, Wanghai District.
Liu Di lay on a rock.
Watching the seagulls in the sky while observing the code in his eyes.
The reason he stayed here.
Was because a small trouble suddenly appeared!
At this moment.
China's Network Security Bureau, Haishi Branch.
Sun Mingdong, the leader of Network Security Group 1, was frowning at the screen in front of him.
On the screen was a video.
At 8:03 PM last night, the entire Wanghai District of Haishi suddenly plunged into darkness!
Then, dozens of networked speakers near Huitian Square began to sound!
After that, the streetlights started to light up uncontrollably, forming a line!
Sun Mingdong lit a cigarette!
Scratched his already greasy hair!
This emergency situation kept their Network Security Group 1 up all night!
He had also watched this video for three hours!
"This is really unbelievable!"
"Who has such great skills?"
"Directly hacking into our Haishi power control system?"
"And then forcibly controlling the street lighting system?"
"The most unbelievable thing is, how did he control so many speakers at once?"
"Damn it, this is blatant crushing, a blatant provocation to our Haishi Network Security Group!"
"This is the most arrogant hacker I've ever seen!"
Thud!
Sun Mingdong forcefully crushed the cigarette butt in the ashtray!
He turned and shouted to the group members, "It's been all night, have you found anything? Either Di Yi or this hacker, at least find one of them for me!"
At the same time, a network security officer who had been working overnight suddenly looked up.
"Leader, found it, the hacker, that hacker, I've locked onto his IP!"
"Really? That's great!"
Sun Mingdong immediately went to the computer, "Where is he? Give me the address, I want to personally go and catch him back!"
The network security officer said bitterly, "His address... is on the Egyptian pyramids..."
"What? Nonsense?"
Sun Mingdong, being hot-tempered, felt his anger rising upon hearing this!
"Leader, calm down, he's probably using a fake address, and it's changing all the time..."
The network security officer pointed at the screen, "Look... he's now in the Arctic..."
"I..."
Sun Mingdong's face turned purple instantly, swallowing back his words, "Daring to mess with me?"
"But, Leader, he left a backdoor, we should be able to communicate with him."
The network security officer pointed again at an input window on the screen.
Sun Mingdong suppressed his anger.
Slowly sat in front of the computer, knowing it was time to engage in a battle of wits with the hacker!
Try to get him to talk!
Find his whereabouts!
Sun Mingdong thought for a long time and slowly typed two words in the window: "Hello..."
However, before he could press the send button.
The other party sent a message first, "Hello, Leader Dongming."
Hiss...
Oh my...
How does he know my name is Dongming?
"I'm really sorry, I just wanted to give my friends a surprise yesterday, so I made a bit of a scene."
Seeing this message, Sun Mingdong looked frustrated.
What do you mean by a bit of a scene?
You hacked the entire Wanghai District of Haishi!
The other party continued to send messages: "However, fortunately, it didn't cause any damage."
Indeed, it didn't cause any damage!
It even saved quite a bit of electricity!
But, my superior is furious!
He gave me 12 hours to catch you!
Sun Mingdong, suppressing his irritation, slowly typed a few words: "Indeed, it's no big deal, just cooperate a bit, come to the bureau to make a statement, where are you?"
The other party only replied with two words: "Hehe."
Just as Sun Mingdong was about to smash the keyboard in anger.
The other party suddenly sent a data packet!
And it opened automatically without any operation!
The next moment.
A flood of data appeared.
First, there were strings of orderly numbers.
Then an image appeared, with lines like a spider web connecting various cities on the map.
This is?
Sun Mingdong's pupils suddenly contracted.
These numbers, bank account numbers!
And these lines...
Are the paths of fund transfers!
The other party sent another message: "Leader Dongming, I know you are currently tasked with investigating a major money laundering case?"
The somewhat dazed Sun Mingdong instinctively replied: "Yes."
There indeed was such a case recently!
The amount of black money was as high as 10 billion!
But the other party had top-notch network experts!
Once the funds entered the network, they would immediately disappear without a trace!
Sun Mingdong led his team in investigating for a whole month, to no avail!
The recovered funds amounted to zero!
They couldn't even touch a hair of the other party!
This matter left him extremely frustrated!
"Here is the information I helped you find, including all the accounts the other party transferred money through, and the routes taken."
"Of course, I've also listed the final storage locations of these funds; they are now divided into 40 accounts in a Swiss bank!"
"I believe, with this information, you should be able to solve the case smoothly, right?"
Seeing these messages.
Not only Sun Mingdong but also all the team members behind him were stunned!
Someone could actually find out this information?
And in such detail?
This is definitely a master, a top-tier master!
Such ability is far more advanced than hacking into the Haishi power grid!
After all, these fund transfer paths were all conducted abroad!
This tracking method not only required freely traversing international networks.
But also passing through various banking systems!
Several researchers obsessed with network security technology couldn't help but want to worship on the spot!
"Can this count as making amends for my actions?"
The other side sent another message.
Sun Mingdong's fingers trembled slightly.
The information in front of him was priceless!
Because justice is priceless!
Sun Mingdong typed: "I represent the Network Security Bureau in thanking you for your help, but! One thing is one thing, your hacking into the Haishi power grid cannot be overlooked!"
"Forgive me for saying, but can you catch me?"
Seeing the words on the screen.
Sun Mingdong's face turned green instantly...
Indeed, with such skills, there really was no one in the entire bureau who could catch him!
"Consider it as making amends, perhaps we can even become friends."
The other party sent another message.
Extremely helpless, Sun Mingdong could only reply with a few words, "May I ask, what should I call you?"
After a few minutes.
The other party finally replied with a message, "Di Si!"
Sun Mingdong slammed the table!
"Confirmed, he's Chinese, a fan of Di Yi!"
Five minutes later.
Sun Mingdong filed Di Si's information into the database!
He also printed out his name and pasted it on his desk!
After staring at it for a while, Sun Mingdong picked up a marker.
He wrote down the danger assessment given by the database: Di Si, International Hall of Fame Hacker! Threat Level SSS!
Sun Mingdong took a sip of tea and slowly squinted his eyes.
"Goodness, I swear, I must catch you, or I'll be at odds with you for the rest of my life!"
...
Phew...
On the rock, Liu Di stretched lazily.
Finally settled!
Next time, it's better to keep a low profile!
Then, Liu Di tidied up his clothes.
He glanced distantly at the city of Haishi.
"Next, it's time to deal with the small fry Ouyang Fengyu!"
"And then wait for the big fish 'Phantom' to show up, and the troubles with the Yan family will be about done!"
