The Billionaire's Genius Wife

Chapter 332 Under Attack!

?

"Follow me!!" Scarlett pulls Xander back into their room to check her laptop. But when she looked at her laptop screen, her face froze.

'Damn! Someone attacked me?' Scarlett immediately sat down, her hands typing rapidly on the keyboard. However, nothing appeared on the laptop screen, as if the laptop had suddenly lost power, despite being connected to an electrical outlet.

"What's wrong?" Xander asked, his voice filled with concern as he noticed Scarlett's tense and pale face. "Are you alright, babe?"

"No, this is not good," she replied, her fingers still typing on the unresponsive keyboard. "I shouldn't have left my laptop and let someone attack me..." Her gaze remained fixed on the laptop. Frustration is evident in her voice. She scolded herself for letting her guard down.

'Who could be the attacker? Could it be Jude Withers' people?' she muttered, trying to quickly think how to fix it. Yet, Scarlett's efforts proved futile as her laptop remained stubbornly unresponsive.

While Scarlett was still engrossed in trying to fix her laptop, Xander suddenly handed her the phone. "Baby, your cell phone...someone calls you!"

Scarlett's hand paused as she noticed a familiar ID name displayed on her cell phone screen. 'Ten!' She grabbed her phone and walked towards a corner.

"Ten, did you know someone attacked me?" she asked Ten, the other Fox hacker.

"Yes," Ten replied, his tone filled with tension. "Why didn't you fight back when someone tried to sabotage your firewall?"

"I wasn't in front of my laptop," Scarlett admitted, feeling a wave of frustration swallow her. She realized how foolish she had been, running her system to hack public CCTV without monitoring it herself. Gosh!

"No wonder," Ten said in relief. He had believed the attacker was too powerful for Three to counter. That's why he made a move to help her. 

"Three, don't worry. I sealed your system the way you taught me. You know my password, so you can open it yourself..." Ten said.

Scarlett's pale face gradually relaxed as she took a deep breath, feeling relief. "Thank you, Ten. You're such a quick learner!"

"Hahahaha, yes, yes, master... Now go hunt down whoever is trying to mess with you, Three!" Ten said.

Scarlett didn't engage in further conversation with Ten. She quickly excused herself and returned to her laptop. Before she typed something, she assured Xander that she was fine. 

After looking Xander out of the room, she focused her attention on her laptop once more. This time, her face relaxed, and within just two minutes, her laptop turned on again.

To ensure the safety of her defense system and servers, Scarlett put aside her efforts to track down her uncle. Right now, the most important thing she had to do was protect her network and servers, ensuring that the person attempting to attack her would fail to steal her data. 

Scarlett felt relieved after confirming that none of her layers of defense had been breached.

Now, she focused on tracing back the person who attempted to attack her. A few minutes later, a smile crept onto her lips as she discovered the identity of the hacker.

"What on earth!" Scarlett couldn't help but curse her assailant. She wasn't afraid; this man was merely trying to tease her, he is her close friend. "Just wait, I'll have some fun with your system too..." A mischievous smile suddenly played across her face.

Scarlett spent another hour talking to her hacker. It had been a while since they'd chatted. She promised to meet him in country M because he happened to be there.

After Scarlett finished chatting with the hacker, she turned her attention to her tracking system in an attempt to locate her uncle's whereabouts.

A few minutes later...

"Uncle," she clasped her hands together, her eyes beaming as she gazed at the laptop screen. "I've finally found you!" However, the next moment, a shock wave washed over her.

"Why did Uncle enter this country?" she muttered, feeling puzzled. "Did I identify the wrong person?"

...

Just then, Xander entered the room. He said excitedly, "Babe, I've traced your uncle's location..."

"Y-You found Uncle Noah!?" Scarlett's voice was filled with surprise as she hadn't yet shared the passport photos she had discovered in her uncle's computer files with Xander. "How did you find him? Are you certain it was him?" Her curiosity arose, and she eagerly awaited his response.

Xander didn't immediately answer Scarlett's questions. Instead, he walked over to her and stood by her side. "Baby, I'm sorry... I can't disclose how I found him, but I'm fairly certain that man is Noah Withers," Xander's gaze met her bewildered eyes. "Do you want to know where he is?" he continued.

"He's in this country, right!?"

Xander raised an eyebrow, surprised that she had already found Noah Withers, "You already knew?"

"Yes, I just discovered that Uncle Noah entered this country. However, I don't know his exact location..." Scarlett closed her laptop and stood before Xander feeling excited that her uncle managed to enter this country, "Did you manage to find out where he is now?" she continued.

"I did!" Xander's arms enveloped her as he spoke. "He's in Glace City..."

Scarlett was taken aback. Her uncle had successfully entered the country and was now in a city near the capital. It would only take them about thirty minutes to fly there.

The desire to immediately fly to the city of Glace and hear the information her uncle wanted to convey overwhelmed Scarlett. However, she knew her uncle's difficulty in eluding Jude Withers' people. Reluctantly, she set aside her impulsive urge and decided to wait until her uncle deemed it safe for them to meet.

Scarlett embraced Xander tightly, finding solace in his comforting presence. Resting her head against his chest, she spoke softly, "I hope my uncle will remain safe in that city..."

"Don't worry. I've already instructed my team to watch him closely from a distance. If anything goes wrong, they'll step in to assist him," Xander reassured Scarlett, his voice filled with a soothing tone.
