Chapter 1656: Finding the Mole

~8 min read 1,411 words

Fast Chinese.

Sheng Hanyu asked, "What do you mean?"

"It means that there is indeed a problem, but I can't find it."

He sat down in a chair and frowned: "If even you can't find it, then no one else will be able to."

"There is one person who might be able to find it."

"Who?"

"Aunt."

Sheng Hanyu:...

"Are you serious? Aunt has already lost her memory, her personality has changed, can she still use a computer?"

Shi Youxuan said earnestly: "That's right, she has lost her memory, doesn't recognize people, and doesn't remember things, but her knowledge hasn't been lost. A while ago, I saw her teaching Kexin and Ketian to study; perhaps we can give it a try."

"Fine, then let's try."

The next day.

Shi Youxuan went to Aunt's house early in the morning.

"Xuanxuan is here. Come and see how well the melons I planted are growing! Eat at home at noon, let your Aunt make you something delicious, and take two melons back for the in-laws when you leave..." Shi Yucheng looked at the melons and fruits he had planted, his gaze just like he was looking at his own children.

"Dad, where is my Aunt?"

"Inside the house. Do you have something to find her for?"

"Yes."

Shi Youxuan replied as she walked inside, and Shi Yucheng followed, feeling uneasy.

"She is doing quite well now, in good health. If she can't remember the past, then so be it; it doesn't have much impact. I think it's quite good like this..."

He was worried that his daughter would take his wife away to "seek treatment."

Nianyin had mentioned more than once that she wanted to take Mother abroad to treat her amnesia.

He had always opposed it, and his reason for opposing it was that she shouldn't be put through such trouble at her age.

If the amnesia couldn't be cured and other ailments were added, it wouldn't be worth the loss.

Now that his daughter had come over in a rush to find his wife, he was worried that she had been persuaded by Nianyin.

"No, I'm looking for Aunt for something else, to ask her for a favor. If you're worried, you can come along."

"I'm not worried. What is there for me to be worried about regarding you..."

Shi Yucheng chuckled, feeling relieved.

Dingsheng Group.

Chairman's office.

The office door was tightly shut, and Chairman Sheng Hanyu was personally "standing guard" outside.

Ji Yingjie sat in front of the computer, hesitant: "Can I do it? I have no confidence in my heart at all."

Shi Youxuan comforted her: "It's okay, Aunt. Relax, just tinker with it however you like. It doesn't matter if you don't succeed; I didn't succeed either, did I? If it doesn't work, we'll find an expert from the outside. We are our own people, let's just try first..."

She deliberately made it sound very relaxed, but the reality was not as she said.

First of all, one must be very cautious when looking for people from the outside; one dares not use anyone whose background is not fully known.

The experts whose backgrounds were fully known had all been tried, and they all failed!

Shi Ran was already a top-tier computer expert both domestically and abroad. The firewall she personally set up had been breached by someone without anyone knowing, yet she was completely unaware of it. This person was definitely an expert among experts.

It would not be easy to find someone on the outside capable of defeating such an opponent.

Now, Aunt was their only hope!

She didn't tell the truth because she didn't want to put too much psychological pressure on Aunt.

After Aunt woke up, her personality changed drastically, and her mental resilience had weakened. She always felt she owed others, and would blame herself endlessly if any slip-up occurred.

Shi Youxuan deliberately made the matter sound very easy, letting Ji Yingjie feel that coming to help was just a casual matter; if she succeeded, it was like killing two birds with one stone, and if she didn't, it didn't matter.

Shi Youxuan's words were very effective, and Ji Yingjie was indeed not as nervous as she had been just a moment ago.

She sat down in front of the computer, stretched her fingers, and smiled slightly at her niece: "Okay, I'll try."

Since it was just a try, it meant there wasn't much certainty. Ji Yingjie didn't have much confidence in herself, because she hadn't touched a computer since she woke up.

But!

As her fingers touched the keyboard, it was as if they were no longer her own fingers. A series of commands issued from her mind, and her fingers tapped flexibly on the keyboard, feeling familiar as if someone inside her body was guiding her on what to do.

Seeing the movements, Shi Youxuan felt half-relieved.

Her judgment was correct; although Aunt had lost her memory, her skills were not lost.

The Ji Family had many skills that were not passed on to outsiders, especially in the field of computers, which had long been leading the world.

Back then, Aunt said she wanted to teach the Ji Family's methods to Shi Youxuan and her daughter, but she was a difficult person; she wouldn't say nice things nicely, but insisted on being biting and sarcastic, using a tone of bestowing a favor.

The mother and daughter didn't learn.

Talented people have high spirits, and the two of them felt they already knew enough and it was sufficient for use, so there was no need to suffer her indignities.

But they didn't expect that there would really be a time when they needed her.

"The computers in your company have indeed been implanted with a hidden Trojan horse. It is very concealed, but very familiar..."

If Ji Yingjie could feel it was familiar, it must be the Ji Family's technique.

One could count the people who could master the Ji Family's techniques on one hand.

It wouldn't be Nianyin, and even less likely to be Ji Yingjie. Others probably didn't even know where Dingsheng was. The only person left who could meet these conditions and had deep malice toward Dingsheng was Zhu Qingrui.

L Country.

Island.

Zhu Qingrui opened his computer to invade Dingsheng's system, but he could no longer open it.

Three seconds later, a line of text appeared on the screen: Those who commit many injustices are doomed to destruction.

"Heh! You react quite quickly, but you will never win against me."

He turned off the computer and sent a message to Huo Zhenteng: The time for you to take your revenge has come; don't be polite at all!

Soon, Huo Zhenteng replied: Boss, just wait for the good news.

Huo Zhenteng rubbed his hands in excitement; the time for him to show his skills had finally arrived. As long as this job was done, he wouldn't just have enough to eat and wear for the next life... no, for several lifetimes. Why take such risks for a lousy recipe?

The chance to finally hold his head high was coming; he couldn't just go see Sheng Hanyu like this. He had to spruce himself up properly and go in style!

The hospital.

Sheng Hanyu went to the hospital to see his daughter. Shi Ran guiltily handed over an envelope: "Dad, this matter was caused by my negligence. I take full responsibility."

"What is this? A check?" Sheng Hanyu teased his daughter.

"No, it's a resignation letter, and a notarized document for me giving up my shares."

This incident caused losses of over a billion on the surface, and the actual losses were immeasurable. Shi Ran was filled with self-reproach and resigned to take the blame.

Sheng Hanyu pushed the envelope back: "Of course you have to be responsible for this matter. You can't run away even if you want to, but you cannot resign. How could there be such an easy way out?"

"You clean up the mess you left behind yourself. Don't even think about pushing it onto others while you wash your hands of it."

"You didn't really want to give away the shares, did you? Did you give them away because you were afraid Dingsheng would drag you down? Do you want to draw a line between us and make a clean break from now on?"

Sheng Hanyu's string of twisted logic left Shi Ran dumbfounded.
