甜蜜的小狐狸

Lu Miao silently reached out to pick up some food with one hand while the other hand occasionally tapped on her phone.

On the opposite side, Tang Mochen was fully engaged, his hands moving at a rapid pace, almost leaving an afterimage as he relentlessly pounded on the keyboard.

His eyes were burning with anger, and he muttered incessantly.

“If I don’t catch him today, I won’t be surnamed Tang!”

Gu Shiyan picked up a pair of public chopsticks and picked a few pieces of lamb for Lu Miao. Seeing her eating while occasionally glancing at her phone, he spoke up, “If you have something to attend to, you can have the food packed to take away.”

Lu Miao wasn’t the type to be absorbed in her phone while eating, unless something important was happening.

“No, I’m just chatting with a friend,” Lu Miao replied, tapping a few more times on the screen and then turning it off, putting her phone back in her pocket.

Two minutes later, Tang Mochen stared at his computer screen, which had gone black again, with a skeptical look on his face.

What kind of freaks was he encountering?!

It would be one thing if he lost, but it was happening repeatedly within such a short period. It was truly a blow to his confidence.

Gu Shiyan gave him a knowing look. “Lost again?”

“What do you mean ‘again’?” Tang Mochen’s anger flared up instantly. “Before encountering these two maniacs, I had never lost in China!”

Seeing his dejected appearance, Lu Miao felt a pang of sympathy for him for half a second. Then she decided that if they crossed paths again, she would discreetly go easy on him to help rebuild the confidence of this 280-month-old child.

She picked up a piece of meat and placed it in his bowl. “Have some more, it’s nourishing.”

Tang Mochen looked at the meat in his bowl, and his fragile heart suffered another blow. Had he really become so weak that he needed a high school student of around sixteen to comfort him?

He abruptly sat up, picked up his chopsticks, and stuffed the meat into his mouth, chewing forcefully.

“I declare from today onwards that I will be the nemesis of this maniac! I will challenge him every day, and one day, I will definitely defeat him!”

The corner of Lu Miao’s lips twitched.

It couldn’t be, really.

Gu Shiyan calmly spoke, “So, this person that Fu Jingshen managed to recruit is not only a tech genius but also a skilled hacker.”

Tang Mochen nodded dispiritedly. “That’s likely the case. The opponent is so formidable that it might be difficult to find information and recruit them. I’ll think of another way.”

And so, Lu Miao listened to these two discuss how to find her while eating.

After finishing their meal, Gu Shiyan took Tang Mochen back to the villa.

Lu Miao returned to her room, where the stone and blue porcelain that Gu Ziheng had sent were already placed on the shelf by the door, easily visible upon entering.

These two items combined were worth at least two billion. She raised her hand and touched her chin, wondering if she had struck gold effortlessly.

She reached out and touched the stone, feeling the spiritual energy within it distinctly.

Drawing a symbol with her finger, the spiritual energy in the stone flowed into her body like a gentle stream. Her nerves, previously exhausted and weak from the symbiotic curse, instantly felt invigorated.

After a few minutes, the spiritual energy diminished, and the stone in her hand transformed into an ordinary piece of jade.

The spiritual energy within the jade stone could be absorbed to aid in cultivation, but except for some exceptional cases, ordinary jade stones didn’t have much effect. That’s why she hardly used this method.

After all, the cost of obtaining such valuable items was extremely high.

After absorbing the energy, she opened her computer and logged into her bank account, transferring one billion to the charity foundation account.

Unexpected wealth that wasn’t earned through one’s own labor shouldn’t be hoarded. Greed would only bring harm, so it had to be used promptly.

That’s why she treated the jade stone as a source of spiritual energy and absorbed it directly.

Meanwhile, in the study on the other side of the corridor, Gu Shiyan was busy handling company emails when he suddenly froze.

An inexplicable warmth surged into his body, warm and comforting, as if every pore was stretching and opening up.

The warmth lasted for a few minutes before gradually fading away. Gu Shiyan carefully assessed himself and realized that all the fatigue in his body had miraculously disappeared. He felt warm and comfortable from head to toe.

He looked down at his body but found no abnormalities or sources of heat.

Ever since he had almost woken up a few days ago, his body had been a little strange.

He often experienced inexplicable sensations.

These sensations seemed to belong to someone else but were undeniably present in his own body.

Gu Shiyan raised his hand and touched his lower back, where there was still a lingering, dull pain.

He was certain that he hadn’t bumped into or injured that area.

But if it wasn’t caused by himself, then what was the explanation behind all of this?

On the other side, after completing everything, Lu Miao opened Weibo and checked the trending topics related to her. Gu Shiyan had already managed to remove all the trending topics that targeted her, and the accounts that were spreading negative comments about her had been banned.

There were still many people discussing the matter in the relevant hashtags, but most of the discussions were rational and exploratory. Some doubted that she might have truly used connections to enter the show’s production team, while others believed in her innocence. However, the number of people criticizing her had significantly decreased.

Several students from Zhenhai High School came forward to speak up for her. Some even posted her performance from the Triwizard Challenge, providing evidence that she couldn’t have used connections to get on the show. Among them, an active user named “Lu Miao’s Leg Hair” caught her attention, and she knew it had to be Shen Muhan.

‘l’nat guy, even wnen ne wasn’t tullY sober, would scratcn someone to deatn It he heard a doctor questioning her. Now that his hands and feet had recovered, he was even more lively.

Lu Miao glanced over the discussions and then directly hacked into the television station’s surveillance system, accessing all the footage from the past few days.

Sure enough, she found something suspicious. Three days ago, there was a missing segment in the office surveillance footage of the “Super Brain” production team between 12:30 PM and 1: 00 PM.

The missing time period was just half an hour, something that would go unnoticed unless specifically checked.

The surveillance footage from other times was normal without any issues.

In other words, someone deliberately deleted that portion of the footage.

For a hacker, recovering and restoring deleted and altered surveillance footage was not a difficult task.

Her fingertips danced across the keyboard, and after a moment, the deleted and altered footage was restored to its original state.

She clicked on that segment of surveillance footage. It was lunchtime between 12:00 PM and 2:00 PM, and the office was empty.

After a few minutes, a familiar figure cautiously looked around and entered the office. Their target was clear as they headed straight to the last desk on the side.

They turned on the computer, searched for something for a while, then glanced anxiously toward the direction of the door. With the mouse in hand, they quickly performed some actions, shut down the computer, and hastily left the office.

Lu Miao raised an eyebrow, her fingers swiftly tracing the IP location of that computer. She hacked into the computer and examined the activity logs during that time.

Looking at the records displayed on the screen, the result was just as she had expected.

To bring her down, they had trampled on the dignity of the nation!
