Chapter 524 - A man of morals

Translator: Sparrow Translations  Editor: Sparrow Translations

Outside, the shop owners of Cloud Street gathered, all resentful. After seeing all the police cars gathered around, they knew something wasn’t right. But as the strongest supporters of Little Boss, they didn’t fear anything.

All the other police officers who were standing around looked puzzled. What was going on? They were just arresting one person. Why were all these shop owners getting so riled up?

“Little Boss…”

“What happened to you?”

“D*mn it, if they are going to bring our Little Boss away, they have to go through us first.”

“That’s right. It’s going to take a lot of effort for them to even bring Little Boss one step out of this place.”

“Everyone calm down!” the policemen said, trying to control the situation.

“No, we can’t!” everyone shouted.

“Yeah, if you want to bring our Little Boss away, we won’t calm down.”

“Let go of our Little Boss, and we can act like nothing happened.”

“If you don’t let him go, don’t blame us for having our brooms with us.”

…

Liu Xiao Tian shook his head in helplessness as he heard the commotion outside. “Please help us settle the situation outside,” he said, looking at Lin Fan.

The situation happened so suddenly, and Lin Fan was still a little anxious. Since he was already here, there was no going back. He looked at Liu Xiao Tian, his face calm and composed. “Don’t worry, they are actually very friendly.”

As Lin Fan walked out, all the shop owners all started shouting his name, their faces lighting up. “Little Boss, don’t you worry! We are all here!”

Lin Fan stood there, his face blank. Since when had he ever been worried? “Guys, please don’t cause a commotion. I’m fine over here and I just have to get investigated, so don’t cause any more trouble. Please go back to your own business!”

“Little Boss, you aren’t lying to us, are you?”

“Yes, Little Boss. You have our full support!”

Moving! This scene was just too moving!

At this moment, Lin Fan almost felt like crying.

Lin fan waved them away. “Guys, please don’t worry about me. Nothing bad will happen. I’ll just go to jail for a month. When I come back, I’ll still be me, so please don’t worry!”

At this moment, a few limousines arrived at the scene.

Quite a few people got out from the limousine.

“These guys are professionals from the National Internet Safety Department. You beat them flat and screwed them upside down,” Liu Xiao Tian said, looking at Lin Fan.

“Not worth a mention,” Lin fan said, lowering his voice as he shook his head.

The Head of the Internet Safety Department was a middle-aged male. His eye bags were heavy and his face gaunt. He looked like he had spent too many hours in front of the computer.

The head of the department was once a computer expert, and he knew the people who were from the same line. Under his management, the department had improved tremendously, until the embarrassing thing happened today.

Shen Jie Yun looked around upon arriving as if he was looking for something.

He was the same as other hacking professionals. He was full of youthful vigour and would never admit that he had lost. After he got screwed badly by Lin Fan, he felt indignant and so he came here to prove himself.

“Leader, what are you guys doing here?” Chief Liu went up to him and asked.

“Where is that computer hacker? We came here to see which group it was that harnessed this kind of ability, causing us to be beaten flat by him.” Shen Jie Yun said.

He didn’t think much when he saw Lin Fan, continuing to look around, but none of the people present at the scene looked like computer geniuses.

“Leader, the person that you are looking for is right in front of you. This person is Master Lin, the instigator of everything that happened today,” Liu Xiao Tian said with a smile.

Suddenly!

The atmosphere went silent.

Shen Jie Yun looked at Lin Fan, his face in a daze.

The other computer geniuses also reacted in the same way, looking at Lin Fan with disbelief. How could that person be the hacker that single-handedly took all of them down?

“You’re saying it’s him?” Shen Jie Yun said, his face looking puzzled.

Liu Xiao Tian nodded. “Yep, it’s him.”

“Damn, how is that possible?” Shen Jie Yun said, his face astonished. If it was a group, he would still have accepted it, but now after finding out that it was a one-man army that had defeated their whole group of Internet professionals, he could not believe it, and couldn’t accept the defeat.

In that instant, his youthful spirit was smashed into pieces.

Despair!

Incomparable despair!

“How do you do, Leader? I was the person that crossed paths with you guys while accessing the bank server. I must say that your skills are terrible and you guys definitely need to work on that, otherwise, you guys will be in trouble when you meet a malicious hacker,” Lin Fan said, his face full of smiles.

“Ah?” Shen Jie Yun looked at Lin Fan, his thoughts in a mess. Their little hacking group had attained second placing in the nation and internationally, they were a well renowned hacking group. And now hearing Lin Fan say that their skills were terrible…

If it was anyone else who said that their skills were terrible, he would have exploded with rage. But looking at this person, his confidence immediately waned, knowing that he got completely suppressed by him. He had nothing on him.

“How is this possible? Chief Liu, did you get the wrong guy? It’s just one person?” the other computer geniuses said, unable to believe it. They wondered if Chief Liu was just toying with them.

If they had lost to another group of hackers, they would have conceded. Knowing that they had beaten by a single person made their defeat bitter and really broke their spirits.

Liu Xiao Tian smiled, his heart bursting with pride. Master Lin was his good friend and after seeing how talented he was to have been able to defeat the group of computer hacking ‘geniuses’, he felt good on the inside.

“Yep, it’s just him,” Liu Xiao Tian nodded his head.

“Your skills are so good, so why did you expose yourself? With your kind of ability, you could have masked yourself and we would never have found a trace of you,” one of the hacking professionals said, his tone unbelieving.

Lin Fan felt helpless. How could he admit that he really didn’t know how to conceal himself? If he said it out loud, he would definitely be looked down upon by them.

“Why do I have to conceal myself? I broke the law and have to deal with the consequences of my actions, and hopefully, I’ll get a lighter sentence,” Lin Fan said calmly.

Liu Xiao Tian looked at Lin Fan with respect. He had never thought that his old friend would be this self-aware and have such high morals. He felt glad that he had the chance to meet this kind of a friend.

The members of the Internet Safety Department fell silent. They realised that the Computer Guru in front of them had such a high sense of morality, more than most people.

What a shame. He had broken the law and had to face up to the consequences.

“Bring his computer in,” Shen Jie Yun commanded.

That was the tool of the crime and had to be examined by the people from the Internet Safety Department.

“Please don’t spoil my computer. I just bought this one. Also, don’t delete any of my files. I took a very long time to download all of them,” Lin Fan said.

Shen Jie Yun lit up with joy as he heard that. With a computer guru like him, he must have had access to a whole range of classified files. What could it be?

Could it be classified files having to do with the nation?

Or maybe he was a malicious hacker who had the past time for hacking into international databases to find secret files?

And now, what was the thing that this guru was so concerned about? Could it be something special?
