The call was from Lin Nan.
Nuomimi Novel, along with its affiliated anime network, had suddenly been hit by a massive hacker attack.
The entire website had already crashed.
It was inaccessible and the data was largely lost.
“Okay, I understand. Hold the fort, I’ll call for external help,”
Jiang Xu now had no time to think about who was behind it.
The immediate crisis had to be dealt with first.
Otherwise, if it went on for too long, all the users would leave.
After hanging up, he immediately called Jiang Xiaoyan.
He explained the situation.
Jiang Xiaoyan was furious, “They’ve got some nerve, acting up in front of me.
Don’t worry, I’ll handle it.”
“Phew!”
Jiang Xu let out a heavy sigh of relief.
With Jiang Xiaoyan taking charge, there shouldn’t be much of a problem. Even if she couldn’t handle it, her senior sister backing her could.
Unless Jiang Xu was unlucky enough that the person attacking his website was her senior sister.
With that thought, Jiang Xu quickly shook his head.
He couldn’t afford to speculate wildly; if it turned out to be true, then he was done for.
Jiang Xu once again focused his attention on Huang Qiqi.
With a bewitching voice, he said, “Your current standing in the Huang Family is even lower than that of a cleaner.
And I, as it happens, have a grudge against the Huang Family. If you agree to be my inside person and provide me with information, I can promise you a company with a market value of no less than ten billion after everything is settled, one that is healthy in operation.
In addition, another billion in cash, of which I can give you ten million right now.”
Huang Qiqi’s face showed that she was tempted, then she lowered her head to think it over.
Without changing expression, Jiang Xu placed a listening device inside a crevice of a nearby tree.
Without much thought, Huang Qiqi agreed, “I agree. Give me the money first.” Jiang Xu smiled, “Good, that’s a wise choice. Give me your card number.” Huang Qiqi gave her bank account number.
Jiang Xu transferred the money.
Then he said, “Save my mobile number. Any news, notify me immediately.” Huang Qiqi nodded her head.
Jiang Xu looked around and said, “You should go back by yourself later. From now on, unless necessary, we should not meet each other again.”
I understand,” Huang Qiqi said, her expression solemn.
At this time, Jiang Xu’s bodyguard arrived in a car.
Jiang Xu waved his hand and got into the car and left.
Huang Qiqi watched as Jiang Xu’s car drove away.
She silently memorized the license plate number.
Standing there, her expression changed repeatedly.
Finally, she made a call.
Yeah, what do you want with me, make it quick, I’m busy here,”
An impatient voice came through the phone, it was Huang Xiaofei’s.
Huang Qiqi frowned slightly.
Over the phone, she could hear several women shouting loudly.
It was somewhat nauseating.
But she still said, “A man just tried to turn me, saying he wanted to go against
the Huang Family and offered me a benefit of twenty billion.”
“Heh, who’s got the guts for that?” Huang Xiaofei scoffed, not taking it seriously.
His personality was originally calm and reserved.
But after being repeatedly breached by Jiang Xu, his character had gradually changed without him noticing.
Huang Qiqi noticed the change but didn’t mention it.
Instead, she replied, “The person wore a mask and sunglasses, I couldn’t see clearly, but I remember the license plate, it’s…”
Huang Xiaofei, who initially didn’t care, became alert upon hearing the license plate number reported by Huang Qiqi.
Then a coquettish voice said, “Young Master Huang, are you done yet?”
“Get out!” Huang Xiaofei pushed him away, furious and embarrassed.
But he still kept his wits about him.
He said in a deep voice, “Are you sure that’s the license plate number?”
“It’s correct.”
Huang Xiaofei certainly remembered Jiang Xu’s license plate number.
His expression kept changing, and then he let out a cold, sneering laugh, “Jiang Xu, Jiang Xu, you really don’t know what’s good for you, daring to target my family behind my back.”
His tone shifted as he spoke to Huang Qiqi, “But you, you make me curious, how could you resist such a big temptation?”
“I thought it over again and again before 1 made my decision,” Huang Qiqi said “Even though I’m not favored in the family, I live better than many ordinary people.
Betraying the family comes at too great a cost, I have no background, I can’t afford it.”
This is only natural.
Huang Xiaofei inwardly scorned Jiang Xu.
He thought he was way too naive.
Thinking he could incite infighting within a century-old family with a little bit of benefit, so foolish.
Huang Xiaofei was now in an absolutely calm state, free of desire or need.
His mind was spinning so fast, and soon he had an idea, saying, “Then now, pretend to join him.
Try to get enough information from him.
I will suggest to the family later to transfer you to my company, start as a vice president.”
Huang Qiqi was overjoyed, “Thank you, brother, I will do my best!”
“Hmm, let’s not talk about this now… What are you waiting for, finish it up!”
Huang Qiqi; “Huh?”
Huang Xiaofei: “I wasn’t talking to you.”
Huang Qiqi: “Oh, then goodbye, brother.”
After ending the call, Huang Qiqi drove away as well.
Completely unaware of the listening device stuck in the tree crevice.
And every word she had just said had been heard by Jiang Xu without missing a single one.
In the car.
Jiang Xu took off his headphones, grateful that he had been cautious.
Indeed, at first he was too presumptuous.
Thinking that Huang Qiqi, being mistreated by the family, would certainly betray it.
But the result wasn’t too bad.
Now that he knew Huang Qiqi was going to play the traitor, he could give her some false information later.
If handled well, the eventual result could be the same as he expected.
On the contrary, this could even save him a dozen billion.
Jiang Xu never intended to go back on his word, he was truly planning to give it to her upon completion of their deal.
Since Huang Qiqi didn’t know what she had, then all the better to save.
Jiang Xu went to Jiang Xiaoyan’s company.
In her office, Jiang Xiaoyan’s fingers were flying rapidly over the keyboard as she spoke without looking up, “You wait, the site’s back up.
I’m tracking the other party’s address now, locking on the target.
They are bold indeed, daring to mess with my company.
You reckon your Daddy Mei is a pushover to bully!”
Jiang Xu laughed heartily, “Your Cantonese is terrible.”
Jiang Xiaoyan didn’t respond, her gaze focused intently on the computer.
She indeed seemed quite charming in this state.
It’s just a shame that it can’t last long.
Once she relaxes, she turns back into that two-bit+tsundere+thick-skinned state.
Jiang Xu quietly waited while sipping his tea.
Trying to open the Nuomi Website’s official webpage and the app, both were already back to normal.
Because it was handled promptly and it wasn’t a holiday period, there weren’t that many users online.
So the impact was still within controllable limits.
Jiang Xu’s first suspect was Xu Kun.
After all, they were in the most direct competition.
It took about fifteen minutes or so, then Jiang Xiaoyan stopped and looked up
at Jiang Xu, “I’ve found it, guess who it is?”
