Chapter 394: Song Ling can’t crack it
Translator: _Min_ |
Song Ling dialed the number repeatedly, but to no avail; the line was unreachable.
His expression darkened with each attempt. Even a fool would realize that the Legendary Doctor no longer used that number.
Despite this, a part of him couldn’t help but feel that the Legendary Doctor seemed distant, almost deliberately aloof. Why, he wondered, given that their past interactions had been nothing but professional?
In the midst of these thoughts, Zhao Xuan’s call came through.
Zhao Xuan’s voice, tinged with urgency, relayed bad news, “President Song, the surveillance footage has been thoroughly destroyed. Our company’s tech team has been working on it for two days with no success in restoration.”
Clutching his phone, Song Ling’s frustration was palpable. He gritted his teeth and declared, “If our tech team can’t handle it, replace them all!”
Zhao Xuan, upon hearing Song Ling’s words, fell silent, not daring to utter a word.
Song Ling, noting Zhao Xuan’s silence, grew even more angry. With a cold command, he instructed, “Bring me the surveillance data. I’ll restore it myself.”
He had been preoccupied with caring for Song Yu lately and had delegated this task to his company staff. To his dismay, they had proven inept, leaving him to personally intervene.
Zhao Xuan, understanding the gravity of the situation, promptly delivered the necessary items to Song Ling at the hospital.
Song Ling, confronted with a screen filled with dense coding, began typing rapidly.
But as time ticked by, his pace slowed, his expression grew increasingly grim, and beads of sweat formed on his forehead.
Zhao Xuan, observing Song Ling’s struggle, knew things weren’t going well. He held his breath, careful not to draw attention to himself.
The sight on the screen – a large cleaver and bloodstains – infuriated Song Ling. In a fit of anger, he slammed the laptop shut, producing a thunderous sound.
Zhao Xuan’s heart skipped a beat at the noise.
Song Ling, casting a glance at Zhao Xuan, explained coldly, “This is the work of professional hackers, not just one, but several. Their methods are varied and complex, not something that can be easily cracked.”
Zhao Xuan nodded, his face a picture of understanding.
Yet internally, he was puzzled. It seemed as though Song Ling was explaining the situation to him – a strange thought, he admitted to himself, quickly shaking off the idea.
Surely President Song wouldn’t bother to explain anything to him. It must be a misperception!
Seeing Song Ling’s stern face, Zhao Xuan ventured a suggestion in a soft voice, “President Song, since the other party employed several hackers, perhaps we could try a similar approach.”
Song Ling considered this for a moment before replying, “Before we try that, let’s consult with Gu Dai.”
Miss Gu Dai?
Zhao Xuan was perplexed as to why Song Ling would involve her, but he dared not question and quickly agreed.
Meanwhile, Song Ling, sitting in his car, looked at the picture of the Legendary Doctor sent by Zhao Xuan.
Even though it was just a silhouette, he felt a vast distance between them, as unreachable as the distance he felt with Gu Dai…
The Gu Group.
The trainee competition was also being planned during these days.
Gu Dai’s task for the day involved liaising with representatives from various entertainment companies and signing contracts.
Thanks to the positive buzz about the variety show on the internet and the generous terms offered by the Gu Group, the contract signing went smoothly, leaving only one final contract.
Upon reviewing the last contract and seeing the name Sheng Xin, Gu Dai’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Her memory was excellent, and she remembered Sheng Xin as someone who knew Wang Lan and had tried to embarrass her in a restaurant, albeit unsuccessfully.
Considering it was her…
Gu Dai altered the terms on the contract from a fifty-fifty split to forty-sixty and shifted the priority rights for advertising endorsements to the Gu Group.
Su Ting, unsure who Sheng Xin was, noticed Gu Dai’s actions and realized that this person must have offended Daidai.contemporary romance
Handing her a milk tea, Su Ting said considerately, “Daidai, getting angry is bad for your health. Have something sweet to calm down.”
Gu Dai nodded and replied softly, “Okay.”
When Sheng Xin entered, she saw Su Ting and Gu Dai, radiant under the sunlight, looking like a perfect pair with their striking appearances.
Stunned for a moment, Sheng Xin scoffed internally, labeling them ‘ugly’.
Last time, Gu Dai’s actions had led to her being slapped by her father and losing face in public. Even after returning home, she had faced numerous scolding from her relatives.
Displeased but hiding it well, Sheng Xin greeted Gu Dai with a forced smile, “Miss Gu Dai, long time no see..”
