Chapter 315

Ever since she told Lingyu that Muse had been attacked, Lingyu, out of curiosity, had wandered around Muse's server a few times and accidentally discovered a backdoor left by someone. Because the technique and habits were very similar to those left by L, Lingyu, on a whim, hacked into Muse to see what L had done.

For the first few days, Lingyu was very cautious, carefully hiding her tracks every step of the way, following L's trail. Until last night, she discovered that L seemed to have copied something on the computer with the highest authority in Muse. After hesitating for a moment, she made a move...

As if a long-waiting hunter finally saw the prey step into the trap, Lingyu, who had just successfully invaded the target, was instantly surrounded and attacked by several data streams. Lingyu quickly withdrew and kept jumping, but she couldn't get rid of the tracker. In a hurry, Lingyu pulled out the network cable and escaped, but... the traces that were too late to be erased were enough for Muse's network security personnel to find the location of her true self.

"Lele, I'm not full yet, can you cook another bowl for me?" Ren Lingyu gulped down the whole bowl of noodle soup, put down the bowl, and continued to shout that she was hungry.

"... Stop eating, you'll burst." He Lele advised. Before this bowl of noodles, Lingyu had already eaten a plate of pastries. He Lele knew... Lingyu wasn't hungry.

"Oh! It's okay! You know I'm a big eater!"

"..."

"Don't be like this. You really don't need to worry about me. I'm fine. Just now, just now I was stupid from staying up all night. Since I'm a hacker, of course, I have the awareness of being caught. Besides, I didn't cause any destruction this time. Even if I'm sued, I won't be sentenced to many years—"

The sound of a vehicle passing by came faintly from outside, and Ren Lingyu's seemingly relaxed expression came to an abrupt end, replaced by undisguisable panic.

"Of course you'll be fine." He Lele said with a firm tone.

Ren Lingyu lowered her head and smiled bitterly with tears in her eyes.

"Have you forgotten? The second largest shareholder of Muse is Zhai Feiyun, and although the third largest shareholder has been transferred to the foundation, Qin Zhixiu's influence remains. I won't let anything happen to you!"

"Lele!" Ren Lingyu looked up in surprise.

After finally persuading Lingyu to go to bed and rest, He Lele checked the time—5:13 AM.

Should he have finished eating? Preparing to sleep or exercise? At the company or in the apartment?

Walking out of Lingyu's bedroom, He Lele took her phone and walked toward the living room balcony.

The air at dawn coldly invaded her nasal cavity, throat, and heart and lungs, smelling of the astringent taste of unknown plants. The balcony railing was covered with a thin layer of water mist, and touching it accidentally left her hand damp.

Opening the call log, looking at the only number on the screen that wasn't labeled with a contact name, He Lele looked at the digits one by one, as if she wanted to use all her heart and strength to remember it.

Producer Seeing Shentu Mo.

The man who had made her feel terrified countless times, she never expected that she would have a day to contact him actively, but she had no choice.

Zhai Feiyun, Qin Zhixiu, they could of course influence Muse's decisions, but the one who truly decided everything—was only Producer Seeing Shentu Mo.

Pressing the dial button, in the dozen seconds, He Lele clearly saw that what she was holding wasn't a mobile phone, but a grenade that was smoking!

"What is it?" The cold, waveless tone as always.

"It's me... He Lele."

"... So?"

"I have something... I want to beg you."

Eight o'clock, when Ren Lingyu woke up from a nightmare, the first thing she did was rush out of the bedroom to find He Lele.

"What's wrong?" He Lele put down the hair dryer. Her small face, just washed, was moist and pink, making her look like an underage girl, but those reassuring eyes and exquisite figure all showed that she was in the prime of her youth.

"Nothing, I just had a nightmare." She dreamed that Lele was crying alone in the dark. She wanted to go over to accompany her, but Lele told her to run! "Is there still recording today?"

"Hmm. I'll go out after drying my hair."

"... Oh."

He Lele stood up and held Ren Lingyu's hand, her voice soft enough to make people willing to believe everything she said unconditionally. "It's okay, don't worry!"

8:45 AM, He Lele stepped into the Muse building.

It's okay... will it really be okay?

She didn't know.

Facing Producer Seeing Shentu Mo, she had no bargaining chips at all, not even her body... she didn't know if he would still want it. With herself like this, what could she use to guarantee that Lingyu would be fine? ===== CHAPTER 316 =====
