Chapter 247 - Hack The Already Hacked System

"Y-Yah! Let me go!" Li Ling cried out as he tried to struggle out of Wang GuiYing's hold but the man put him in a chokehold easily. 

"Little lover, sometimes it's better to trust people that care about you," Wang GuiYing commented with a smirk and Li Ling's muscles tensed up. 

"What... Are you talking about?" Li Ling muttered in a low volume and Wang GuiYing chuckled as he heard this question. 

"You must have already realized it by now," Wang GuiYing spoke up with a sigh, "Mastermo has always been the type to blame himself even when it's not really his fault. If you don't trust him right now, it would probably hurt him." 

"...." 

"He might not say it but you have to read in between the lines sometimes," Wang GuiYing beamed and it made Li Ling feel as if this man knew Zhihao a lot better than him, "Only if you read between the lines would you be able to stay together with him for a long time." 

Wang GuiYing let go of the man but Li Ling no longer bothered to try and run back inside the mall. 

"You can leave it up to me!" Liang Feng sighed as he gave Li Ling's back a pat and ran into the mall following behind Zhihao. 

"Take this with you," Zhou Xinyi threw a bag over to Liang Feng who had turned around just in time to catch the heavy bag, "It might be of some help to you." 

Liang Feng nodded his head with a smile as he silently thanked the man before turning around once again and heading after Zhihao who had already rushed off without wasting any time to think or strategize. 

Li Ling sighed as he glanced down at his phone screen, "I have a bad feeling about this." 

"Then why don't you try helping them from here?" Wang GuiYing tilted his head as he suggested. 

"Huh? What do you mean?" Li Ling questioned in confusion as he stared at the man. 

Wang GuiYing shrugged his shoulder as he pointed at the phone and responded, "Even though you're not inside, you can still help them, can't you?"

"..." Li Ling's eyebrows creased together as he heard this and wondered what it was that the man was trying to tell him. 

"After all, you're the little lover that our Mastermo speaks so highly of. Don't you think you should live up to his expectations?" Wang GuiYing smiled mischievously and it almost looked as if he was trying to entice Li Ling to do something reckless. 

Li Ling gulped as his eyes widened ever so slowly, "You mean...?" 

"Are you just going to let the system do anything it wants?" Wang GuiYing asked with a smirk and for a second there, the smirk scared Li Ling who suspected Wang GuiYing. 

This man certainly seemed to know a lot more than he let on. Did this mean that he already knew that Li Ling was the gamemaster...? 

Li Ling shook his head as he gulped and pushed the thought away. 

There was no way Wang GuiYing would be able to realize such a thing this fast. If he already knew about Li Ling's secret then he wouldn't have been so calm right now. 

"You can hack into the software, can't you?" Zhou Xinyi sighed as he questioned. 

Li Ling nodded his head after much hesitation, "That's right... But I can't do it right now." 

"Why?" Zhou Xinyi's eyes narrowed down on the man as he questioned. 

"I have no computer or any other device that can be used to hack into the system," Li Ling sighed dejectedly. 

"That's where you're wrong," Wang GuiYing clicked his tongue as he interjected, "You're such an inflexible guy. I wonder what Mastermo saw in you?" 

"..." For some odd reason, Li Ling was a bit offended as he heard that last useless comment that had no business being there. 

Wang GuiYing held up his phone and looked at Li Ling with an indecipherable expression plastered on his face as he questioned, "What does this look like to you?" 

"That's a..." Li Ling gulped as he stopped himself from saying any further. 

"Do you finally get it?" Wang GuiYing sighed as he held out his phone for Li Ling. 

Li Ling's eyes widened in shock as he nodded his head and confirmed, "I get it!" 

He was not able to do anything because he thought he had no device that could be used. Since Alvi had taken complete control and no other device was working, it was impossible for Li Ling to hack into the system with a foreign device that was not previously connected with the system, however, because of all the panic caused, he had forgotten a really important thing. 

Their phones were still working and they were also previously connected with the system so it was the perfect device that could be used to hack into the system. 

Li Ling cautiously glanced at Wang GuiYing as his suspicion rose. 

Wang GuiYing whistled as he shrugged his shoulder and tried to act innocent, "Don't glare at me like that. I have nothing to hide." 

Li Ling didn't believe it one bit but he still nodded his head with a smile as he heard it, "Thank you for pointing it out." 

Wang GuiYing smiled brightly as he nodded his head, "You can always count on me. Any friend of Zhihao is also my friend! And that includes his boyfriend as well." 

Li Ling didn't know if he wanted to laugh or cry as he heard this but he did nothing more than nod his head.

"But we have a small problem," Li Ling muttered as he pursed his lips in disbelief.

"What is it?" Zhou Xinyi questioned as he glanced down at the phone in Li Ling's hand. 

Li Ling shook his head as he didn't bother giving an answer. 

The phone had already been hacked by the system so it would definitely be hard for Li Ling to hack it back, however, explaining why it would be hard was something that Li Ling found to be even more difficult. 

"Let's just see if this works," Li Ling muttered to himself as he flipped the phone sideways and clicked on the power button thrice before long-pressing it. 

This was a trick to reset the phone. If this worked then Li Ling's work was going to be cut out easy for him. 

He didn't really expect it to work. He could only hope that this method worked and shockingly enough, his hopes had borne fruit as the phone took a minute to completely reset all the functions and system. 

Li Ling's eyes widened ever so slightly as he was too surprised to even celebrate, "I did it...?" 

Wang GuiYing's eyes seemed to be shining as he looked at the normal screen, "Wow... You're a thorough Mastermo simp, aren't you? Even your wallpaper is a picture of him." 

"..." Li Ling couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed as he looked at his wallpaper that was a photo of shirtless Zhihao who seemed to be posing for an advertisement. 

"I never knew he did such an advertisement," Wang GuiYing commented curiously. 

Li Ling coughed as he informed, "It is an advertisement from when he still used to show his face on the screen." 

"So you've been stalking him since then? How dedicated~" Wang GuiYing probably didn't mean to sound as sarcastic as he did. 

Li Ling blinked as he looked at the man and wondered if this BBtrash was trying to pick a fight with him, "..." 

Wang GuiYing smiled mischievously as he hooked his arm around Li Ling's shoulder, "Don't worry about it. I don't judge people." 

Li Ling scoffed as he heard this but didn't bother saying anything in defence as he opened his browser and got back to work. 

Wang GuiYing looked to be pretty interested as his eyes dare not look away from Li Ling's phone. If it weren't for Zhou Xinyi who had pulled him away, the man would have probably kept on staring at the screen. 

Li Ling sighed in relief as he mentally thanked Zhou Xinyi for taking the man away. 

With Wang GuiYing watching his actions like a hawk, he had to act as if he was trying his best but now that Wang GuiYing was not watching him anymore, Li Ling could take the easy way out. 

He closed the previous tab and opened a new one as he manually typed in the address of a website that not many people were aware of. 

If Wang GuiYing had seen the web address then he would have probably figured things out so Li Ling had to be careful as he logged in with his gamemaster ID and tried to hack into the system. 

While this whole thing went on, Liang Feng had managed to catch up with Zhihao and they both headed for the rooftop together. The elevator was closed down and risky so they had to climb the stairs all the way up as fast as they could. 

This was not a major problem for them but once they reached the top floor, they couldn't help but feel unhappy.
