Chapter 79: The Ignored Details

Lu Yanxi felt like she was about to faint from frustration. Arguing with someone of Lu Lingche’s extraordinary intelligence was definitely not her forte. However, individuals with extremely high IQs often tend to suffer from a critical flaw – an extremely low EQ.
This characteristic was particularly evident in Lu Lingche.
“Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law is not the kind of person you think she is. She has a gentle personality and is intelligent and eager to learn. I taught her something today and she picked it up exceptionally quickly, quicker than anyone else in my company. You previously claimed that you looked down on her because of her lack of ability, I think that’s not fair.”
“Lu Yanxi, now that you’ve started a small company, you dare to instruct me? Without me, your auction house would have bottomed out by now.”
The development of Lu Yanxi’s company indeed depended entirely on him. Hearing his angry tone, she quickly said: “No, no, I was just casually mentioning it. It’s getting late, Second Brother, you should rest early. Bye-bye!”
After hanging up, she couldn’t help but roll her eyes. Luckily, he was just her cousin and she didn’t need to interact with him often. However, she couldn’t understand how her Second Sister-in-law could tolerate him.
What Lu Yanxi didn’t know was that her words had actually had some effect on Lu Lingche.
He had a certain understanding of his cousin. She had been pampered since she was a child and was very picky, not just anyone could catch her eye.
For example, Lan Yuyi was someone she never really liked.
The whole Lu family favored his elder brother, including Lu Yanxi, who was usually close to his elder brother and never particularly close to him.
He had assumed Lu Yanxi, like the rest of his family, would like Lan Yuyi by way of association.
Surprisingly, she didn’t like Lan Yuyi, but rather, she liked Qiao Yin.
Somehow, this inexplicably assuaged some tensions in his heart.
However, looking at a certain email inbox on his computer that had ceased receiving messages, his mood worsened again.
The mysterious master who could help him repair the video had completely disappeared. No matter how he tried to get a response, nothing came back.
Interrogating Yan Xing had produced no results either.
Lu Lingche’s gaze landed on the Crisis hacker network.
He had seemingly overlooked a minor detail this entire time—the timeline of when the Tiansheng System was hacked, the Shengling Corporation’s network attacked, and the video repaired by the mysterious person, they all overlapped significantly!
This mysterious person had been able to help him repair the video, but later all of a sudden claimed they were unable to do so.
He had been puzzled as to what went wrong.
Now, it seemed possible that he might have offended this mysterious person.
Could it be that this mysterious person was the hacker called Godkiller who had breached the Tiansheng System?
Only a hacker on Godkiller’s level could possibly repair his video.
And only a hacker of Godkiller’s caliber would be beyond Yan Xing’s control, and even defiant under his threats, not daring to divulge any information.
Lu Lingche clicked on his chat window with Godkiller and spoke with conviction: “It was you who repaired the video for me.”
His statement was abrupt and any other person would definitely not understand, but the mysterious person would definitely understand.
Propping up her chin, Qiao Yin looked at the chat message that popped up on the Crisis network, but didn’t reply.
She hadn’t expected Lu Lingche to figure out so quickly that the person who repaired the video and the one who asked for the reward was the same.
There was a knock at the door. Qiao Yin closed the webpage and got up to answer the door.
A handsome youthful face appeared before her eyes.
“Qiao Jiasen, what brings you here so late?”
“For you.”
Qiao Jiasen handed her a basket of cherries.
They were her favorite fruit.
She took the basket with surprise: “Did you buy these for me? They’ve just come on the market, they are quite expensive!”
She used to buy cherries without considering the price, simply buying what she wanted directly.
But times had changed. Not as well-off as she used to be, the price of the cherries was the first thing that came to mind.
“I didn’t buy them, we suddenly came into some money at home. My parents’ finances loosened up a bit, they bought these and sent them to me at school. I don’t like cherries much, so I’m giving them to you.”
Qiao Yin found it strange: “You suddenly got some money? Where did it come from and how much?”
“I don’t know where it came from, but it seems like there’s around ten million.”
“That much? That will indeed ease some of our family’s financial crisis.”
Although Qiao Yin was puzzled, she didn’t delve into it. Qiao Haidong had been running his business for a long time and likely had some contacts..
