Chapter 273

As long as a bigger commotion could be made, there’s no saying if Chen Shanhe could be taken out directly, but he would definitely have to live with his tail between his legs!

And the key to causing a big commotion had become how to find the boss of the deep web, which is the world-ranked number one hacker Dark.

Regarding this, Lin Mo had some new discoveries.

In the last few days, he had received quite a bit of intelligence about Dark, part of it concerning his increasingly dire health condition, and the rest about the operations he had conducted.

Dark was a hacker with a strong sense of justice, this was mentioned in the intelligence; his stance and role in the recent wars were enough to prove this.

For example, he used hacking techniques to spread the real living conditions of the people in Gaza, to let the whole world know the dire straits the people of Gaza were in under the war.

Dark also helped various national police agencies reveal many accounts of the Northern Myanmar Group.

He was someone who marched to the beat of his own drum.

If he couldn’t stand something, he would intervene.

Therefore, his series of actions also incurred the dissatisfaction of many nations.

What’s outrageous is that, having done so many things, the top cybersecurity experts in all countries still couldn’t identify Dark’s true identity.

This was enough to illustrate that his reputation as the world’s number one hacker was not unearned.

In the past few days, the most crucial piece of intelligence Lin Mo had received was that Dark was very interested in the software he wanted to create and that he would send him a message at one o’clock in the morning today.

…

That evening.

After his wife and daughter had fallen sound asleep, Lin Mo quietly got out of bed, freshened up briefly, and went to the study room of the villa.

Dark was key to Lin Mo’s counterattack against Chen Shanhe,

As he was ready to take the initiative to contact him, Lin Mo certainly didn’t want to miss this opportunity.

Time ticked away gradually.

When the clock turned to one o’clock in the morning, Dark sent a very short message right on time.

[Hello, Mr. Abyss, I am Dark.]

Seeing the black text appear on the computer screen, Lin Mo couldn’t help but feel a bit excited.

Nearly half a month had passed, although his family members were very happy, that was all superficial. If they couldn’t even reveal their true appearances, how could they be truly happy?

Lin Mo had never forgotten who had led them to such a predicament, who had made them flee their home, and come to this unfamiliar city.

Although his mindset had gradually stabilized and wasn’t as impulsive as before, his hatred for Chen Shanhe hadn’t decreased one bit; every day, Lin Mo thought about how to bring down Chen Shanhe!

After waiting approximately 5 minutes, Lin Mo typed out a reply on his phone.

[Hello, Dark, I’ve long admired your reputation.]

Not long after Lin Mo replied, the other side sent a request for video chat.

Should he accept,

Or not?

After a brief hesitation, Lin Mo accepted the video call.

The computer screen split in two, with the side representing Dark showing a ghost mask.

On the side representing Lin Mo, it was pitch black, because Lin Mo used a finger to cover the camera, not showing his face.

[Hello, I’m sorry to disturb your rest so presumptuously, I apologize.]

Dark used a voice changer, and his voice sounded very odd.

Without waiting for Lin Mo to speak, Dark continued, [I hear you’re working on a live-streaming software?]

Lin Mo had consulted with many top hackers in the deep web these past days, so it wasn’t surprising that Dark was aware of this.

In fact, Lin Mo knew that it was for this reason Dark was seeking him out.

Therefore, Lin Mo didn’t conceal the truth: [Yes, and I have been looking for you recently. Are you willing to offer your help? I will pay you handsomely.]

[But you don’t seem surprised at all that I would come looking for you. Do you… know me?]

[Hmm… a little, but not much.]

[Hehe… it seems you are quite something, few people know about me.]

Dark didn’t immediately agree or refuse. After a pause, he asked, [Can you tell me about your plan? I’d like to know what you are going to do with such live-streaming software.]

Lin Mo knew that even the boss of the deep web didn’t have much higher authority than those super hackers.

Therefore, even Dark didn’t know his real identity.

This was also why the Intelligence System had given such a high safety rating to Dark’s deep web.

[Sorry, all I can tell you is that… I want to expose a big-time criminal to the public through live-streaming!]

Lin Mo didn’t reveal too much.

As soon as Lin Mo finished speaking, the ghost mask on the screen nodded slightly, and in an indifferent tone, asked, [Chen Shanhe?]

Lin Mo was startled, [Mr. Kevin, it seems you know quite a lot about me as well.]

By mentioning Chen Shanhe, Dark was clearly indicating to Lin Mo that he knew who Lin Mo was. Therefore, Lin Mo also chose to directly say the name Kevin to respond in kind to Dark.

Upon hearing the name Kevin, the ghost mask in the scene also seemed slightly startled, [Mutual knowledge.]

[How many people do you want to see your live stream?]

Lin Mo answered, [The more, the better, at least 10 million people. Mr. Kevin, can you do it?]

If even Dark, the world’s number one hacker, couldn’t do it, then Lin Mo would have to give up the idea of exposing Chen Shanhe on the web and start making other preparations.

However,

Against Lin Mo’s expectations, after only a few seconds of consideration, Dark replied, [It’s possible, but very difficult, requiring time, a lot of preparation, and a substantial amount of money.]

[Money is not an issue, just name your price.]

Lin Mo replied very plainly and confidently.

With the Intelligence System at his disposal, as long as the sum wasn’t too extravagant, he was confident he could earn it!

Of course, if the price was hundreds of billions or even more, that might prove too much to ask.

[Give me some time to prepare. I alone can’t create such software; I need many helpers. In three days, I will contact you. But, Mr. Abyss, I cannot guarantee definite success.]

[Good, I’ll be waiting for your good news!]
