Xia Zhi felt vindicated. At least he didn't take the beating for nothing.
They deserved whatever punishment his sister threw at them.
Since Chui Ming had raised the reward money, it was time for Xinghe to take action.
Using the username 001, she contacted Chui Corps, offering her help to take down the mysterious virus. Chui Ming took her bait almost instantly. He was actually overjoyed to see someone capable respond to his plea.
He wanted Xinghe to get rid of the virus immediately, and he would bank in the money when he saw the result.
I'll get back to you in 2 hours, was Xinghe's reply.
"Sis, so you're the famous 001!" Xia Zhi exclaimed when he peeked and saw Xinghe's username, "I heard a new hacker by the name of 001 shook up the hacker's world in City T with their appearance, I had no idea that's you!"
Xinghe didn't feel the need to hide things from Xia Zhi so she readily admitted it.
