Chapter 130 - Counterattack
Chapter 130: Counterattack
Chu Luo pursed her lips and stared at the many attacks on the computer. It was only then that she realized that her computer knowledge was still a tad lacking. Even so, she didn’t show any signs of panic.
Instead, she said to Tang Zhiyun calmly, “Senior Tang, call Professor Wu with my phone.”
“Okay!” Tang Zhiyun picked up her phone from the desk and dialed Professor Wu’s number.
Professor Wu picked up the call quickly and even guessed Chu Luo’s purpose in calling. He said directly, “Xiao Chu, to deal with hackers, you must use…”
Professor Wu spoke so quickly that the boys standing at the side were dumbfounded.
Chu Luo listened attentively. At the same time, her fingers were rapidly typing on the keyboard during Professor Wu’s impromptu lecture.
Under the incredulous gazes of the boys, Chu Luo actually started a war with the hackers as she was learning all this new knowledge.
Time passed by slowly. At midnight, the phone rang. Chu Luo pressed the last button and said to Professor Wu, who hadn’t hung up yet, “Done!”
Professor Wu smiled and praised, “Xiao Chu, you’re the fastest and most incredible person I’ve seen in terms of learning and absorbing knowledge.”
Chu Luo couldn’t help but smile and say to Professor Wu, “Thank you, Professor Wu.”
“Haha! No need to thank me. It’s my honor to teach a student like you.”
Professor Wu knew that it was already very late on Chu Luo’s side, so he told them to go rest after a few words.
Not many people knew about Chu Luo’s fight with the world-class hackers.
Everyone who knew about it was shocked.
At this moment, Chu Luo turned off her computer and stood up to say to the others, “I’m going to rest. You guys go rest early too.”
With that, she took her phone and walked towards the bedroom.
The next day, not long after Chu Luo had left her bedroom, the doorbell rang. She walked over and opened the door to see Qin Ming standing outside.
Chu Luo looked at him in surprise. “What are you doing here?”
She let him in.
After Qin Ming entered, he reported to Chu Luo in a businesslike tone, “Master said that the commotion you caused last night was a little big.”
Chu Luo smiled arrogantly. “So what?”
Qin Ming continued, “Other than hacking your computer last night, there were also people from the upper echelons of the US who met Master.”
“Oh?”
Qin Ming: “The upper echelons of the US think that your bet is too big and intend to use special methods to punish you.”
Hearing this, Chu Luo frowned. “How are they going to punish me? Are they going to take my bet or look for some excuse to transfer the money away?”
Qin Ming didn’t expect Chu Luo to have guessed this. He said, “Both.”
Chu Luo was silent for a few seconds. Soon, anger burned in her eyes. “Hmph! These people are planning to take advantage of the situation without paying a single cent.”
Previously, when Li Yan placed his bet of four billion yuan, Chu Luo thought that he wanted to take advantage of the situation. Unexpectedly, the upper echelons of the US were even more shameless.
Had they asked for her opinion on this matter?
Chu Luo suddenly thought of something. “The bet we started seems to belong to the Blazing Glory Corporation.”
At this point, she suddenly thought of Li Yan and asked, “What did Li Yan say about this?”
“Master said that if Miss Chu doesn’t want this group of US people to reap the benefits, you should cooperate with him and put on a show.”
“What show?”
“Master said that Miss Chu can ask him face to face.”
Chu Luo: “…”
So why did Li Yan ask him to come over? This matter could be resolved with a phone call.
“Master is at the office now. The company’s address is 108 Silicon Valley.”
After Qin Ming finished speaking, he took out a magnetic card and handed it to her. “This is the elevator card to elevator number 9, which leads straight to Master’s office.”
Chu Luo looked down at the card and accepted it with a wooden expression, wondering what Li Yan was up to.
“Miss Chu, I’ve arranged for a chauffeur for you outside the hotel. You can go over as and when you wish.”
After saying that, he turned and left.
Chu Luo took the card and turned to walk towards the window.
They lived on the 45th floor. Standing here, they could see all the buildings in XX City.
After drawing on the glass with her fingers, Chu Luo asked Phoenix, “Did something happen nearby?”
Since Li Yan had sent Qin Ming here personally. He must have assigned Qin Ming an important mission.
Phoenix’s voice rang out in her mind. “Mistress, someone is monitoring us from the building opposite.”
“Hmph!” Chu Luo snorted coldly. “Looks like they’re fast.”
At this point, she turned around and walked into the bedroom. “Since you want to monitor us, I’ll let you see how hardworking we are.”
Chu Luo would definitely not spend too much effort on something that could be resolved with an illusion.
Just as Chu Luo had finished setting up the illusion, there was another knock on the door.
It was Tang Zhiyun and the others.
“Junior, you’re up so early.”
Chu Luo looked at the five of them and realized that they all had dark eye circles. She asked, “Did you guys not sleep all night?”
Tang Zhiyun said with a smile, “We sorted out all the information you asked for last night. I have sent it to your email just now.”
Chu Luo nodded. She thought for a while and said, “After breakfast, you guys go and sleep first.”
“We’re not tired.” The five of them declined at the same time. They planned to familiarize themselves with the interstellar environment in the next few days. Time was tight, and they definitely had to grasp every second.
Chu Luo guessed what they were thinking and didn’t continue.
Soon, the housekeeper brought breakfast over. While eating breakfast, Chu Luo quietly gave them some medicine to help them sleep. Once they were done eating, they yawned continuously.
Wang Mingtao couldn’t stand it anymore and said, “I can’t take it anymore. I can’t open my eyes. I have to sleep for a while.”
This was the same for Xie Minghai and Yu Lei. They collapsed in front of their computers.
Chu Luo looked at them and suggested, “You should go and sleep for a few hours. Otherwise, you won’t be able to play properly in this state.”
The five couldn’t hold on anymore even if they wanted to. In the end, they could only go back and rest.
After Chu Luo and the others had left, she took out the magnetic card from her pocket and glanced at it. She went back to her bedroom, took her phone, and walked downstairs.
After the first three days of competitions, discussions could be heard everywhere in the hotel.
Chu Luo passed through the hall on the first floor. Just as she was about to walk to the revolving door, she saw an arrogant young man wearing a flowery shirt and jeans. He had a sapphire ear stud in his ear and a lollipop in his mouth, looking very defiant.
As the young man passed Chu Luo, he deliberately glanced at her.
Chu Luo didn’t mind and walked out.
As soon as she walked out, a car drove over.
The car stopped in front of her and the window rolled down. The chauffeur in the driver’s seat alighted and respectfully opened the car door for her. “Miss Chu, please get in.”
Chu Luo got into the car. At this moment, she suddenly tilted her head and glanced at the hotel door. If she didn’t sense wrongly, someone was staring at her just now.
“Phoenix, look who it is.”
“It’s that person from just now.”
When the car arrived at Blazing Glory’s building in Silicon Valley, it was already an hour later.
Chu Luo alighted and looked up at the skyscraper in front of her with admiration in her eyes.
At this moment, a group of people rushed past her. When they reached her side, they deliberately stopped to take a look.
Then, they walked towards the door.
A woman couldn’t help but smile proudly and say, “Where did this little girl come from? She’s obviously here to see our Blazing Glory building.”
Another person answered, “Our Blazing Glory is the most outstanding in the world. It’s normal for these youngsters to specially come over to take a look.”
The group of people quickly walked in.
Chu Luo retracted her gaze and followed inside.
This skyscraper belonged to the Blazing Glory Corporation. She entered the hall on the first floor; the modern and high-tech combination made the place look tall and solemn.
The hall was huge, and there were several reception areas at a glance.
There were many people in the lobby. Other than the receptionist and security officers who were wearing the uniform of the Blazing Glory Corporation, the rest of the people were dressed in suits. The women were also in formal attire. Everyone who entered appeared to be gentlemanly and lady-like. None of them spoke loudly.
Chu Luo looked around and didn’t find the elevators. She moved to find someone to ask.
At this moment, she heard the sound of running footsteps behind her.
Chu Luo’s body tilted just before that person bumped into her.
A mixed-blood woman with a bag and a folder ran past her.
The woman had wavy hair and a tall figure. She probably realized that she had almost bumped into someone and ran out two steps before hurriedly stopping to look at Chu Luo. “Sorry, I almost bumped into you.”
Chu Luo shook her head. “It’s okay.”
The woman looked at Chu Luo and asked in surprise, “Are you also here to audition for a film role for the upcoming ‘Battle of Lightyears’ movie?”
When Chu Luo heard this, she suddenly remembered what she had heard in the empire before and asked, “Isn’t the filming for ‘Battle of Lightyears’ being held in the empire?”
The woman obviously heaved a sigh of relief. “Looks like you’re not here for the audition.” Then, she smiled and said, “‘Battle of Lightyears’ will be shot in several countries, so a few directors will cast a few actors in the corresponding country.”
Chu Luo nodded in understanding.
The woman glanced at her wristwatch and said anxiously, “I’ll leave first, then. I’m sorry about earlier.”
After saying that, she walked towards a service counter.
Chu Luo looked around and didn’t discover where the elevator was. She also walked towards the service counter.
As she walked in, she heard the woman ask, “May I know on which floor is the casting for ‘Battle of Lightyears’ being held?”
“It’s on the 28th floor. Miss, you can take elevator number 2 and elevator number 5.” After saying that, the receptionist pointed in the direction of the elevators.
When Chu Luo heard this, she didn’t go over to ask. She followed the woman towards the elevators.
When she walked over, she realized that the elevators were crowded with people.
Chu Luo found elevator number 9 and realized that no one was queuing up here. Just as she was feeling strange, a voice suddenly came from the side. “Miss, you can’t enter that elevator.”
