Livid Guardian's Endless Coddling

Chapter 205: Rules of the attacker

Xin checked the storage, he easily found the data and another IP address of the next device where he could get another set of data but while extracting the data a message popped up.

'Savvy.'

Xin's eyes widened seeing it. He never thought the attackers were well prepared. So well prepared that attackers knew where he would try to hack and where he wouldn't.

After that message displayed, the required data destructed itself instead of copying. 

Xin who had felt interesting when he had first read the 'The Game is On.' was now in the urge to crush the attacker if he finds him.

The attacker's aim became very obvious.

Be a wanderer or a loser.

That is, Meander for the data or else lose it forever.

The company's confidential data was very important. Without backup, the company would face lots of problems and lose its value and state. With all that it would also disrupt the working state of the company.

Even though Xoan stopped Xin, the latter didn't listen to him.

Xoan didn't care about the losses because he knew he was capable of restoring the company back which might take little effort and slight downfall and lose their clients.

For Xin, he was ready to work hard but he wasn't ready to let Focus International lose its face or Xoan to work harder because of his short-sightedness.

They didn't rest and didn't care, they just ran everywhere and kept extracting data as Xin had to double-check them if the attacker was implanting any virus secretly without their knowledge.

And that was their mistake, they thought and tried to be careful at the situation where Aria didn't play anything. 

She hadn't touched or edited the data even a bit. She had just split them and stored them in random places.

Her intention was never to damage their data but she wanted them to run around and think hundreds of times before trying to breach anybody's network again.

She even had a set of copies to return it if they fail.

Even though she was heartless for the one who tries to hurt her, she didn't' wanted that to implicate on others' life and well being

Without choice, they roam around the city in the dark of the night till the sunrise for the new day.

... 

While that side was chaos, another side was pleasant.

Aria who woke up in the car whined looking at Alan, "I want to go with you."

Alan held her hand which was poking him, "I'm taking you to our villa."

Aria instantly cheered up as a bright smile appeared on her face. She rewarded her husband on his cheek and hugged his arm resting her head on his shoulder.

Aria smiled realizing their situation, "Alan, isn't it fun?"

Alan wasn't sure what she was indicating as fun. His hand wrapped around her, "What is fun?"

Aria stuck her tongue out before saying, "Some will hide from their parents about their relationship and sneak around to date and romance secretly. And here we are sneaking too."

Alan glanced at her before shifting his eyes back on the road. He couldn't believe she was getting excited about the problem, still, he was also happy to hear it. 

That way she wouldn't be sad and look forward to their next encounter.

He had thought they could live a happy blissful life after she returns to country A but he didn't expect they would have to strive harder for that happiness.

"If you hadn't told Mom and Dad about my proposal, we would have tried it a very long back."

Aria shook her head to contradict his statement, "That many do. We are completely different from all." 

Aria giggled while thinking others sneak out with their boyfriend or girlfriend, they had to sneak after they were married.

Alan smiled resignedly and kissed on her head. "Then we will romance secretly too."

Aria hummed excitedly, "We will experience that too"

She said and kissed his jawline smiling at him but she froze hearing him.

"Why are you seducing me now? Hold your horses. Have patience. We will reach home soon. I will let you take the top. Restrain yourself now..."

He made it sound like she was lustful.

Aria wanted to retort but Alan continued, "Don't tell me you want to go wild in the car?"

Aria decided to fake her sleep. She closed her eyes and became motionless however she was blushing imagining themselves in the car.

Alan chuckled lightly looking at her pink glowing face which her makeup failed to hide. He caressed her head fondly. 

While he thought of it, both were each other's first, so whatever they experience would only be with each other. Fun, exciting, sweet, or spicy.

So he thought he shouldn't make it boring for her who had to marry him at such a young age. Yet she didn't complain about it to him even once.

His train of thoughts broke and thought to ask her about their marriage, "Sweetheart…"

He glanced at her to see the smiling face of sleeping Aria...

Alan was removing her makeup when she woke up. She sat up, took the makeup remover wipe from his hand, and pecked on his lips.

"Stop spoiling me. Take a bath, I'll do it myself."

Alan took back the face wipe and gently wiped her face.

"I can do it."

"I'm not wearing makeup for you to do." Alan nonchalantly said as he removed the makeup to see her pretty, gleaming face.

Aria chuckled and let him do, she started making funny faces at him which brought smiles on his face without his control. 

Alan laid her in the bathtub and he went to shower. Before he could finish, Aria was again asleep in the bathtub.

Alan knew she would be on guard all the time excluding with him so he didn't wake her up and took her to bed drying and putting on her nightdress.

Aria went to good deep slumber with Alan breathing in his cologne without bother about anything. 

Aria in his arms relaxes him rather than being away so he didn't think anything and slept well.

Aria and Alan were very careful about their plan against Focus International so they didn't worry about them in the night...

In the morning,

Aria who woke up didn't let Alan leave and whined, "It's Saturday. Where do you want to go? Stay here."

Alan was thinking of working out in the gym, seeing her awake, he decided to work out rather very well with her.

"Honey!"

Aria hummed snuggling near to him.

"Let's stay on the bed."

Aria smiled thinking they could cuddle for a long time but next second she was pulled on top of him as he effortlessly pulled off her slip nightdress.

It didn't even take five seconds, she was on top of him wearing nothing which was enough to make her flush completely red.

Alan knew the sensitiveness of the early morning and her tender sentient skin. His heart was racing by her reaction when his hands traced on her curves sensually.

"Alan..." Her canorous voice was enough to lose his control slowly.

He gently bit her earlobe, "My wife..."

A hum escaped from her lips hearing his tantalizing tone. 

Alan rolled on top, throwing his shirt off before proceeding to indulge themselves in each other's love and passion...

--- 

On the other end, Xin found all the data except the one which was destroyed for trying to be smart. 

He started integrating everything back to its places with the help of other technicians.

"Xoa, go and rest."

Xoan didn't reply to Xin, he didn't leave and remained quiet.

Xin sped up his work knowing Xoan wouldn't leave until he sees him rest but they didn't think there was something else coming up which wouldn't let them rest so soon.

Whatever they cleaned up was only one's attack yet. Other attack results weren't completed yet.

It took them a really long time to check the sequence of the data, restore the backup, and to stabilize the network.

--

In the cybersecurity office, they received five complaints saying somebody disrupted their network in the night.

Cybersecurity quickly took action to find the hacker. Even though their group wasn't as efficient as Xin or Aria or Alan, they found the location of the attacker of all the complaints who were the same.

They soon collected the warrant from the head office before departing to investigate the attacker.

--josei

Xin breathed a sigh after completing the work and reestablishing the firewall.

He was having breakfast in silence with Xoan when a secretary called Xoan's desk phone which he answered on speaker.

"CEO West, Cyber Security is here to investigate with the warrant."

Xoan's face darkened.

Xin's brows twitched realizing they were played by the attacker like a puppet. He should have checked the network first but he played by the rules of the attacker.

Both lost their appetite with their short time of relief.

Xoan grunted and asked his secretary to clean up the table. He didn't allow Xin to join him and went alone to the meeting hall.

Xin quickly activated the mics of the meeting hall to eavesdrop. Just after they greeted Xoan, Xin's face started getting darker with each word.
