Chapter 221 An Unavoidable Choice, No Turning Back

But the hint of pleasure had not yet bloomed in her heart.

The person in her arms suddenly stood up.

Patting her bottom, she waved to him, "I need to check what the Ming family is up to. The rest of the movie is yours to watch alone. Tell me what happens in the latter half after you finish."

Chi Xian: "..."

They were on a date!

Couldn't she do whatever it was after the date?

#What to do when your girlfriend's career ambition is greater than her boyfriend's? Urgent help needed, waiting online#

Everything unfolded exactly as Ming Zheng and Chi Xian had predicted.

The task issued by the Ming family.

Its purpose was not to find hackers for hire.

After all...

The Ming family was at their wit's end. Where would they find the money to hire hackers?

But following the method provided by Ming Zhi Rou.

To snatch this technology from the Wang family, to surpass the Wang family and make a comeback.

They could only rely on hackers to attack the Wang family, and then seize the Wang family's core technology in the ensuing chaos.

Under a hacker attack, the Wang family's normal development would naturally be affected.

That would be the time for the Ming family to shine.

No money to hire hackers.

So what to do?

Of course...

Seek help from free hackers!

-

Three in the morning.

A dejected figure sat before a glowing computer screen.

He hadn't turned on the lights.

Only the screen emitted a faint blue light, illuminating the man's face.

The computer desk was piled high with countless cigarette butts and several empty wine bottles.

The air was filled with an overwhelmingly pungent smell of smoke and alcohol.

It was a stark contrast to the luxurious and elegant room.

The man slumped in his computer chair, his eyes wide open, staring at the screen.

But his eyes appeared extremely hollow and lifeless.

His face was contorted with struggle and pain, and he clutched his head tightly with both hands.

What should he do?

What was the right thing to do?

He didn't know.

His mind was a complete blank.

He just wanted to get drunk.

And then forget about everything, and not care about anything.

But...

It was impossible.

As soon as he thought of his parents kneeling before him.

And thought of his parents' tears.

He couldn't truly bring himself to not care about anything.

Just this once.

Just this once!

The man's bloodshot eyes gradually shifted from confusion to focus.

He took a deep breath.

His trembling hands slowly moved towards the keyboard placed before him.

The dazzling light emanating from the screen.

It was as if it was dragging him into an endless mire, pulling him down.

The keyboard was slowly tapped.

He could never turn back now.

-

At the same time.

In the apartment at "Azure Cloud Immortal Abode."

Ming Zheng sat in the computer room, leaning back lazily against the chair, her gaze cast sideways at the computer screen.

As if waiting for something.

Chi Xian sat beside her, occasionally feeding Ming Zheng fruit.

He stared at the flickering code on the screen, "Are you sure the Ming family will make a move tonight?"

"They have no time to consider." The compensation of one hundred million yuan, and the current predicament of the Ming family, were forcing the Ming family to make a decision quickly.

Moreover, tomorrow was the deadline for the Wang family's young master to stir up trouble.

They definitely wouldn't be able to sit still.

"Then you could have just let your dark web subordinates handle it. Why would the dignified Boss Z personally deal with a mere Ming family?" Chi Xian slid his body on the chair towards Ming Zheng, leaning his head towards her.

His ink-black, jade-like eyes were tinged with a hint of softness, "Do you know what time it is?"

"Heroes appear at midnight," Ming Zheng said righteously. "As the moderator of the dark web, I must prevent such cybercrimes."

Chi Xian's hand reached behind Ming Zheng's waist.

His long fingers casually traced the skin of Ming Zheng's waist. "So, my Boss Z is also a righteous avenger."

Ming Zheng was wearing a thin pajama.

Through the thin fabric.

She could even feel the heat from the man's fingertips.

A current-like sensation spread from her waist to her limbs.

She felt a jolt.

She quickly moved to the other side of the chair, avoiding the man's hand. "Alright, alright, I'll tell you the truth... I'll tell you the truth! I just want to know who the Ming family's elaborate 'one hundred thousand' act is for!"

After avoiding the man's mischievous hand.

Ming Zheng turned back fiercely, glaring at Chi Xian, "If you touch me again, I'll grab you by the collar and throw you out!"

Chi Xian behaved himself, no longer reaching out his "sinful hand" towards Ming Zheng. He stood up gracefully, leaning casually against the gaming chair. His white pajamas fit his body, revealing the smooth lines of his chest.

Even though he was fully covered.

He inexplicably made one's mouth dry.

Ming Zheng: "..."

Even if he doesn't touch her, she still wants to throw him out!

He was too much of a distraction!

As they were playfully teasing each other.

An alarm sound suddenly blared from the speakers.

The large, bright screen instantly and automatically switched to a dark Trojan horse program.

A huge, conspicuous red font flashed in the center of the screen—

【INTRUSION!】

Ming Zheng immediately sat up straight, her hands falling onto the keyboard.

Her slender, beautiful fingers, white as jade.

Like a deer leaping in the woods, or a sprite dancing.

They flew rapidly across the keyboard.

During this serious moment, Chi Xian moved away, staying quiet, not disturbing her.

His eyes were fixed on the girl's delicate profile.

Her eyes were focused on the top of the screen.

Her concentrated expression was both cold and cool.

It was a kind of... inherent nobility.

A nobility that looked down upon all beings.

Ten minutes later.

"Pa—"

Ming Zheng tapped the last key.

The continuously scrolling code on the screen suddenly disappeared at that instant.

In its place, a virtual program space appeared.

A character profile popped up on the screen.

The photo, and the name on it, were none other than...

The Ming family's fifth young master, Ming Yan Lun!

-

Ming Yan Lun's bloodshot eyes stared, his hands numbly, like a robot, rapidly typing in one line of intrusion code after another.

The Wang family's firewall was very powerful.

He had to be extremely cautious.

Otherwise...

If he were detected by the Wang family's program.

It was highly possible that they would counter-attack.

He had once won first place in the hacker competition organized by Z on the dark web, a place filled with大神.

This indicated that his skills were quite formidable.

Especially after meeting Z.

His several encounters with Z had also continuously improved his hacking skills.

Therefore, he progressed smoothly in infiltrating the Wang family's system program.

Although his right hand was not very agile due to a racing accident.

But relying on his solid skills and muscle memory.

He quickly traced the core technology program of the Wang family, as requested by his father.

His wrist ached faintly.

He shook his hand.

His gaze fell upon that program.
