Chapter 1169 Gu Jingze Is Truly Surrounded By Concealed Talen
In the past, they had often met such people.
They were merely a small studio and large companies turned their noses up at them. Thus, many small-time crooks wanted to buy the game they had made for no reason. In reality, all of them wanted to buy the game and be the intermediary. They wanted to then sell the game to a huge company, buying it at a low price and selling it at a high price. Although they would also get a sum of money from selling it, they would definitely feel uncomfortable thinking about the high price of the transaction. In the past, they had fallen for it once. The racing game that they had made was sold directly by someone else for the sky-high price of tens of millions. After that, it was tremendously popular for some time. They regretted their past actions, so they categorically rejected any such intermediaries that came looking for them after that.
Therefore, upon hearing about Chen Lanshan, they scoffed and did not think much of it.
“Crooked Neck, let’s hide for a bit. Let’s stop all studio work for the time being. Take down all our contact details too.”
“KG, what do you mean? Do you think they’ll continue looking for us?”
KG was their lead hacker. Everyone listened to him.
KG nodded. “That’s right. Get them to take it down so that no one can find us. Otherwise, it’ll be troublesome.”
He twirled his pen briefly. “Dealing with these people is the most irritating thing.”
“Yes. To you, even speaking to people is irritating. It’s not as comfortable as coding, right? Alright, we understand.”
It was a wild goose chase for Chen Lanshan. Subsequently, everyone actually said that they could not find this studio.
She immediately called Lin Che to talk about this.
“Miss Lin, I can’t get in touch with the studio.”
Lin Che asked in surprise, “What do you mean you can’t get in touch?”
“Is the studio name you gave me correct? I can’t find it.”
Lin Che narrowed her eyes and mulled over it. “Forget it. Let me do it.”
She opened the web page for the game and saw that all the contact details had indeed disappeared.
At the moment, Gu Jingze was behind her carrying the child. Seeing that Lin Che was confused, he walked over to her and said lightly, “Clearly, they decided to hide.”
Lin Che froze. She turned her head and asked, “What do you mean they decided to hide?”
Gu Jingze said, “The customer service page has been completely hidden. It looks like they don’t want to be found.”
“Why don’t they want to be found? Isn’t it good to be applauded by someone else?”
“There are many reasons. Some of them are hackers who want to play on their own and don’t want to leave their hermit mountain. Others have had bad experiences.”
“That’s so annoying. It was so difficult for me to find a game production studio that was quite good.”
Gu Jingze leaned in close. “Actually, it’s not difficult to find them either.”
Lin Che looked up. “Is it possible?”
“I’ll get someone to help you find them. Even the best hackers can’t hide every single trace. They will definitely still leave clues behind.”
Lin Che said, “Let’s give it a try then.”
Gu Jingze picked up his phone and called Qin Hao to come over.
After Qin Hao arrived, Gu Jingze told him directly about this.
Qin Hao said, “President Gu, it’s been a long time since I did coding…”
When Gu Jingze narrowed his eyes, Qin Hao hastily opened his computer regardless of everything. “I’ll definitely try my best…”
“You must do it,” Gu Jingze said.
Lin Che blinked and watched Qin Hao open his computer and look for the web page with practiced ease.
She asked, “Hey, isn’t Qin Hao your special assistant?”
Qin Hao looked up and said, “Madam, I played with computers when I was younger too…”
“For real?”
Gu Jingze said, “In his younger days, Qin Hao was the top hacker in C Nation. He went by the name of Ares.”
“…”
Qin Hao looked up modestly. He was so embarrassed that his face turned completely red. “That’s the name everyone gave me. They were flattering me…”
Then, Lin Che looked on as Qin Hao type furiously away on the computer. The speed of his hands only made her eyes go blurry. The web page turned into numbers. In no time, indecipherable codes filled the entire screen.
Lin Che was in complete awe inside.
No wonder, no wonder.
Gu Jingze did not keep idle people around him. But she did not expect Qin Hao, who looked very old-fashioned, to be so capable.
It seemed that the number of talented individuals that hid around Gu Jingze was beyond her imagination.
Gu Jingze merely looked on leisurely from the side.
Qin Hao was busy coding while saying, “Indeed. The IP address of the web page has been hidden. It looks like someone probably hid it.”
“Can you find it?” Gu Jingze asked.
“Well, I’ll definitely be able to find it. I can tell that the other party is very capable too. They haven’t noticed me yet and haven’t started resisting, but in a while, they will probably… hey, he noticed me.” The other party had already discovered that Qin Hao was trying to gain unauthorized access. Immediately, the computer started to let out beeping sounds and the code became even messier.
Qin Hao’s hands moved even more quickly. While typing, he said, “He is definitely in this city. His server probably isn’t big. Hey, he’s actually quite good.”
Gu Jingze asked, “Why? You can’t catch him?”
“No. I need a bit of time.”
For some reason, he thought of something and changed the code slightly.
The sound of furious typing continued for some time.
All of a sudden, he slapped the table. “Great. I caught him.”
Gu Jingze asked, “Why?”
“I left behind my contact details. He will probably contact me very soon.”
Lin Che asked, “Isn’t he in hiding? Why would he take the initiative to contact you?”
“I locked down his server.”
“…”
Lin Che said, “Wow, Assistant Qin, you’re so amazing.”
Qin Hao said, “Dear me, I can’t go on. I’m old now. I never took so long in the past. But this chap is really impressive too. I can tell that he’s a newborn calf that isn’t afraid of tigers. Good lord, he’s quite skillful too. This…”
He had just been chattering away when he noticed Gu Jingze’s unmoving expression. He was looking at him with his eyes half-narrowed. Qin Hao immediately shut his mouth.
“But he’s definitely not as brilliant and wise as our President Gu…”
Lin Che was still looking at him with immense admiration. At this precise moment, as expected, Qin Hao’s phone immediately started ringing.
Qin Hao instantly took the call.

With the phone in hand, Crooked Neck looked at KG’s eyes and said a little cautiously, “Who exactly are you?”
They could not believe that he had broken KG’s code. The expression on KG’s face right now spoke volumes.
Qin Hao said, “Hello. This is your phone number, right? We have some things we want to talk about face-to-face with you.”
“Face-to-face? Are you the ones who have been looking for us over the past few days?”
“That’s right. We have a few projects we want to discuss with you when we meet. I don’t know if you’re willing to agree to it.”
“Sorry, we don’t collaborate with anyone.”
“We should meet before considering whether or not we’ll collaborate. Let’s meet at the cafe in the city center. We’ll talk about it when you guys come. Otherwise, sorry about the server. You’ll have to buy a new one. Also, I’m not sure if your future servers will be locked down too.”
Crooked Neck nearly cursed in anger.
“How arrogant. KG, what do we do?”
KG’s eyes twitched. In the end, he nodded his head.
Crooked Neck had no choice but to say, “Alright then. Tomorrow afternoon.”
“No problem.”
Crooked Neck hung up the phone in disbelief. Then, he said to KG, “So, are we really going?”
KG quietly went back to his own seat. “I haven’t seen such a powerful opponent for many years. His technique reminds me of some former experts.”
“Is that so?”
