“The system has been hacked, Master Shen.” Zhuang Ling reported. He looked at the computer screen filled with garbled code, his brow furrowing, “I’ll contact Wu Mian right away to get it restored.”

For matters involving company secrets, Zhuang Ling had always relied on Wu Mian, and the tasks outsourced to BAE were solely for warding off external attacks against Jingsheng Corporation. This branch was separate from the headquarters; not everyone knew that it was also part of their domain.

Ye Nanshen observed the dark screen, his aura turning chilly, and said, “Have Wu Mian try to contact the other side. I want to meet with the people behind them.”

“Master Shen, are you thinking of compromising?” Zhuang Ling asked.

Ye Nanshen frowned, “I just want to see what exactly their goal is that was worth their entanglement with a minor Rong family for so many days.”

After Zhuang Ling contacted Wu Mian, the building’s operations quickly returned to normal. On the other hand, Rong Qi, who had just hacked the system, hadn’t even finished the chicken soup in her hand when she saw her program being decrypted.

Rong Qi’s previously knitted brows relaxed into a smile that hinted at her eagerness for a challenge.

‘Interesting.’ Rong Qi thought.

Rong Qi sat up straight and reached out to hack back in again. However, within half a minute and before she had fully entered the opponent’s system, her computer issued a red-level alert. Moreover, the opponent’s counter-tracking system had tracked her down.

“Damn!” Rong Qi swiftly pulled out her network cable from her laptop. She had been using computers for so long and it was the first time she had been counter-tracked. She realized that the Seven Sinisters was quite intriguing.

After a while, Rong Qi powered up her computer again, but as soon as she did, she received an exclusive hacker’s message. Special characters flickered discreetly at the top of her computer screen. The Seven Sinisters had requested a meeting with her.

Rong Qi checked her calendar on her phone and typed [OK] as a reply. Once the time was agreed upon, a ceasefire between the two parties was implicit. Finally, Rong Qi could relax a little. With Class 7’s exams finished, they were just waiting for the results to be released.

On the university’s forum, someone brought up the previous post about the competition between Class 1 and Class 7. The spectators were excited, almost as if they were waiting for an announcement of awards. Today was the day when all results would be released and the grade rankings announced. Those who had placed bets were naturally more concerned than anyone else. Onlookers always enjoyed a spectacle.

[Has the system been updated? Are the results out? Any volunteers to go check for me?]

[No results yet. Inside scoop, I heard the president and vice-president are very concerned about this round of results. They’re still recording each class’s performance and summarizing.]

[Do you guys anticipate that if Class 7 loses, that expatriate professor will be embarrassed? After all, there was so much money bet on this!]

[Hahaha, are you all expecting that? Well, I differ from you. I secretly wish for Class 7 to win. Don’t you think it’s more face-slapping for the underachievers to turn the tables? Especially with Class 1’s contemptuous attitude!]

[Double standard. I saw your bet; you bet on Class 1!]

[…]

[Sitting and waiting, so nervous.]

Many people were following the results, but Class 7 was eerily quiet.

“Do you think Rong Qi… I mean, Ms. Seven, will come today?”

“I don’t know. Probably not. She said she won’t be teaching us anymore. She’s leaving.”

Someone spoke, and immediately the atmosphere in the classroom became heavy; everyone’s expression seemed to turn sour..
