“That’s right. We have Young Master Min to thank for inviting such a pro to help. It is all fixed now.” Zhao beamed at Huo Yao as he flattered both of them in the same breath.
Yang Yi paid no attention to the firewall. The moment he heard what Zhao said, he felt relieved. For a moment there, he had been worried that even Miss Huo would not be able to do anything about it.
Yang Yi glanced at Zhao coolly and pursed his lips when he caught on to what Zhao was saying.
What pro? Zhao was such an apple polisher!
He was clearly the one who called Miss Huo first!
Min Yu’s phone rang in his pocket. He retrieved it unhurriedly. After speaking a few words, he hung up the phone and raised his head to look at Huo Yao. “I need to see someone. Mind waiting for me here?”
Huo Yao waved her hand. “Okay. You can go ahead.”
Min Yu glanced at her before striding out of the control room.
Huo Yao pulled up an empty chair and sat down near Zhao. He had stopped looking at the code. Instead, he turned his head to look at Huo Yao. “Can you help me track the culprit’s IP address?”
Huo Yao leaned her hand against the armrest lazily. The moment she heard Zhao’s request, she raised her brow. “Of course!”
Zhao looked overjoyed. “That’s wonderful! I don’t know how to thank you!”
“Don’t worry about it.” Huo Yao nodded. She spun her chair and sat down in front of the master computer once more with her hands on the keyboard. “Just remember to pay me.”
Zhao’s mouth opened wide the moment he heard this. For a moment, he did not know what to say.
Huo Yao was like a computing god to Zhao, so he felt these words went against the impression he had of her.
Yang Yi suddenly recalled what his boss said to Miss Huo downstairs about money.
Complicated emotions emerged in his heart.
These days, his boss did not think twice when he tried to squeeze money out of someone and was capable of doing it even to his closest associates.
Yang Yi shook his head. He raised his head and glanced at the large screen in front of him.
The master computer had complete control of the internet, security, and defense. It was a very powerful machine that was a marriage between top-notch software and hardware. The screen appeared like the starry night sky with code jumping on it.
Yang Yi had yet to get a clear look at the code before it disappeared.
A blue satellite map appeared a few minutes later with a red dot flickering on it.
“All done.” Huo Yao glanced at the screen. She pushed herself away from the master computer and slid away on her chair without taking a look at the exact location.
Zhao noticed Huo Yao’s reaction. He paused briefly before narrowing his eyes. He picked up the mouse and quickly blew up the GPS location showing on the monitor. The moment he saw it, a serious look emerged on his face.
In a second, he shut the image.
Zhao raised his head to glance at Huo Yao. There was something at the tip of his tongue, but he ended up not talking about it and left the control room.
Instead, he walked out and made a call.
The technicians were working in the control room. They looked at each other solemnly when they heard that Huo Yao had established the location of the IP address. The atmosphere also became tense.
Huo Yao failed to notice the change in atmosphere in the room and tapped on her toes lazily. A few minutes later, she raised her head to look at Yang Yi and asked where she could find the bathroom.
Yang Yi nodded slightly before quickly taking Huo Yao to the bathroom.
Yang Yi did not leave right away and waited in the corridor. He looked more serious than usual.. On a closer look, his eyes were filled with caution.
