Upon returning home, Qiao Yin first tended to the wound on her forehead. This type of injury was nothing to her and was easy to handle.
Her stomach rumbled with hunger. She opened the refrigerator to find it completely empty.
Only then did Qiao Yin remember that she hadn’t bought any food today.
She ordered some takeout. While waiting for it to arrive, she turned on her computer and logged into the hacker network, crisis.
Her private messages were overflowing.
Qiao Yin opened them one by one. She replied to every business-related message, but she ignored all those seeking gossip about her identity.
By the time her takeout arrived and she had finished eating, she still hadn’t seen a single message from Shengling Corporation.
With anger, she pounded her fist on the table: “Well done, Lu Lingche, you’re really not going to give me my bonus!”
Shengling Corporation.
Lu Lingche felt a sudden chill on his back. Thinking it was because he only had a dress shirt on, he put on his suit jacket.
He was in a bad mood, and his tone was harsh: “Have you found out who Godkiller is?”
His assistant stammered: “President Lu, we weren’t able to find out. He used a virtual IP, but judging from the codename, we think it might be a man.” “Think? So should I pay you based on what you ‘think’?”
The vice president of the project looked completely ashamed: “President Lu, I’m sorry. He is too strong. We couldn’t match him.”

Lu Lingche’s face darkened: “What use are you guys then? I’m suspending all bonuses this month! Find Godkiller within a week. If you don’t find him, all of you can quit and leave Shengling Corporation!”
“Yes, yes, yes!”
“Get out!”
The assistant and vice president hurriedly disappeared, afraid that lingering might invite a further scolding from Lu Lingche.
Lu Lingche’s fury did not quell with their exit.
He didn’t care about the public humiliation he endured today, but he did care about his elder brother’s reputation.
The hacker had tarnished his brother’s good name, and made a mockery of the system his brother had spent countless effort to develop. The corporation’s stock plummeted as a result.
How could he bear these consequences? How could he justify himself to his elder brother?
On his computer, a new message appeared in his crisis account.
When he opened it, he saw it was from Godkiller: “Where is my reward?”
Lu Lingche glared at the screen, as though he wanted to pierce Godkiller’s avatar with his gaze.
He responded: “Who are you?”
“I’m Godkiller. I found the flaw in your system. You promised me a million dollars in US currency. Where is it?”
“Tell me your identity, and I might consider giving you the reward.”
“What if I don’t?”
“Then forget about the reward.”
“I don’t think it would be good for your corporation to offend a hacker like me. You’ve seen my skills.”
“Are you threatening me?”
“I just want my reward.”
“You’ve blown things out of proportion today, with the Tiansheng System being ridiculed by countless people. It can’t go public now, and the corporation has suffered a huge loss. Do you really think I’ll give you the reward?”
Looking at the message, Qiao Yin finally couldn’t help sighing.
From the tone of the response, it was likely Lu Lingche himself replying to her messages.
She definitely could not reveal her real identity. In reality, she and Lu Lingche always ended up at odds, and she had also screwed him over in work. If he knew it was her, he would make her life hell and she would never get the reward.
After giving it some thought, she decided to swallow her pride once for the sake of the money: “I deeply apologize for today’s incident. It was accidental. I merely wanted to greet you amiably, and I didn’t anticipate that your system would be launched on this live broadcast. I didn’t intend to cause you any loss, so please believe me. I want to apologize to you again.”
“You can apologize, but you’ll need to come to Shengling Corporation in person to do it. I won’t accept any other methods.”
After Lu Lingche sent the message, he turned off his computer without saying another word.
He took the private executive elevator to the underground garage, got into his car, and drove towards the Lu Family villa.
An hour ago, his father had called him to come home.
The villa was quiet, with the servants already asleep. Only the housekeeper was waiting for him at the front door.
Seeing him, the housekeeper bowed respectfully: “Young Master, the Master is waiting for you in the study.”
Lu Lingche nodded his head and headed to the study.
Lu Mingzhen was sitting at his desk, a tired look on his face after a long flight. However, on seeing his son, disappointment filled his expressions: “I was away on a business trip overseas for only half a month, and you’ve already ruined half of the Lu family.. What on earth do you do all day?!”
