Chapter 1594 - Can it be restored to its original state?

“Mhm.”

Qin Qitong nodded, then casually released Bi Zheng’s hand. “Are we late?”

She wanted to ask if she had come too early, unintentionally interrupting the couple’s time alone, but when she saw her cousin’s cold face, she only felt that the aircon blast was too strong, as though even if the sun shone here directly, the temperature would still be freezing.

“How could that be? We were bored so we came here early. It’s normal for you two to be busier since you had been at a meeting. We do understand that.”

Pei Ge smiled, her lips curling upward, and Ji Ziming’s aura eased as a result.

“We have already ordered some dishes. Take a look and see if there is anything else you guys want. Let the waiter know if you have any other orders.”

Right after he said this, Qin Qitong muttered inside, Do we even still need to add dishes? This place looks like no average person can enter. Even the rich probably can’t make a reservation here.

As for a lady like me, coming here is already a luxury. It’s clear how much face he’s giving us.

“It’s fine. I believe that Sister Pei Ge understands my taste. I am not picky, and so is my Bi Zheng.”

She could not care less. Moreover, she truly believed that with her and Pei Ge’s years of friendship, the latter would know some of her preferences. In any case, the dishes served in this restaurant could not be bought but could only be acquired through status.

For example, the appetizer before her; though it was a small portion, it was exquisitely cooked.

The important parts of a honey-glazed foie gras were its sauce and the goose. The sauce was made with over twenty different ingredients and the goose liver was extracted from a young goose fed high-quality feed. It was then baked using special methods. Not only would it taste raw, it would even have a fruity and refreshing taste. It was the best of appetizers.

Pei Ge moved her chair to Qin Qitong’s side, and the two women engaged in a chatter, be it interesting or sad. Meanwhile, the two men were demoted to supporting characters as they sat at the side. Other than the food before them, nothing else was of interest to them.

Ji Ziming eventually picked up his phone to compare the man who appeared in Qu Jingwan’s room and the hospital. If this person was truly there to steal amidone as a replacement for drugs, it would not be acceptable. He had not even seen the man’s face yet.

Perhaps it was time to meet him.

“Sir, I heard that you and Pei Ge are getting married.”

Bi Zheng was truly too bored. Seeing how the two women were stuck to each other like glue as they chatted, he could only find a way to ease his boredom and that was to talk to Ji Ziming.

“No, I haven’t proposed yet.”

The man’s voice was cold, and he still had his head lowered as he looked at his phone, showing no signs of wanting to converse with him.

This made the latter feel awkward. He immediately noticed the difference between the two photos on his phone and even saw that one of them had undergone editing.

“Sir, do you mind if I take a look at those?”

He stared at his phone, then estimated their similarity.

“Sixty-five percent,” he finally blurted out. His gaze on the phone became fervent. He had not met such a highly skilled expert in a long time.

“What does that mean?”

Ji Ziming eyed the two women. Both had not noticed them conversing. In truth, the two were so engrossed in their talk that they had not taken notice of what was happening on the men’s side.

“I am talking about these two photos and how similar-looking the men are.”

Bi Zheng looked up. His gaze was ablaze. It seemed that his interest had been piqued by something and he could not wait to try it.

“Are you saying that you can identify the similarity between these pictures?”

The man frowned. He was rather impressed with this guy next to him.

The latter was no longer as dazed as he was in the beginning. In his excitement and eagerness, he replied, “Yes, I can, but I will have to do some calculation.”

Ji Ziming passed his phone over, which the other received. The latter did not notice the beautiful African Princess Sapphire on the phone. After carefully studying the two photos, the conclusion he obtained made the man even more impressed.

“The first picture underwent some editing. It’s the actual image the hotel’s camera captured. A normal person would have difficulty detecting that. There are no problems with the second photo. It is a raw image captured using a camera.

His analysis was logical, making Ji Ziming want to recruit this guy.

“How did you know that this photo had been tampered with?”

He asked while looking at Bi Zheng’s serious look. He could not help but suspect the presence of a spy under him. If that was so, then he could no longer return to that hotel.

“It’s simple. An ordinary hotel’s management system uses Javascript and processes files using linux. While it may seem accurate and sophisticated, there are actually lots of loopholes to be taken advantage of. Any hotel chain won’t consider using such a system. Although this hotel uses that system, it is an improved version. The script used is not Java but the oldest script—basic—instead. A complete manual for this script is rare even on the market. It is even more precious than this gem on your phone, not to mention that the one who photoshopped this is quite lousy.”

Hearing his analysis, the man was even more in awe of the guy’s abilities.

“So the person who attacked the hotel’s system is not very skilled?”

His eyes darkened. Since there was now a breakthrough point, he could follow this trail to find out more. Following the vine to get to the melon was something he was experienced in doing.

“Yes. That person only used no more than five languages to write out this script. He can’t be considered very skilled.”

Bi Zheng, who could determine the person behind this picture’s quality, could not help but say that mockingly.

“Then, can you restore this photo to its original state?” asked the man carefully. After all, this guy had already explained so much, and with his ability, dealing with these photos would not be difficult.
