Chapter 374 - Lu Jin (III)

Albeit reluctantly, she told what she found, "- and the one I thought was a trace left behind is actually a trap. This is my first time encountering such defense security system. I am afraid, it will take me more time to find even a small trace of his..." Xuyu started to hesitate at the end.

In fact, she was not one hundred percent sure if she could catch the mysterious person. 

She battled with the person many times, but she never won once. This was a great blow to this woman who had always been branded as a genius in hacking. Perhaps, she had been too preoccupied by many things and needed to reinforce her hacking skills again. 

Lu Jin looked coldly at her. 

The office was silent as the woman's back sweated.

After thinking for some time, he caught some clues in his mind and listed them out. 

"Based on your report, this man knew which files to target. It means he must have a list of which ones to get. Wei, and you, Xuyu, track all the files he managed breached so far. Make a list and see to it which files are connected to one another. Check the database records for matches. We might find out which list he got in his hands." 

Lu Jin was really smart. He immediately gathered some truth just based on the movements of his enemy.

Wei Kang and Xuyu nodded. This would not take a lot of time. 

"Second, you said this is the first time you encountered such a defense security system. It must be new and it might not be out in the high end market yet. It could even be a private customization. Or... the person himself made it." 

"Boss, I am more inclined that he made it. I checked countless data in the dark web and there has been no matches. Hackers with god-level ability in the IT world, they can easily create and design their own systems. Just like how I created my own system."

"Alright, look for companies on top of the IT security field, they might have made recent customizations for their private clientele. Or perhaps... this person is new but has truly great skills."

Then that would be really troublesome. But still, there should be a few links they might have missed...

"If he is god-level ability and is targeting us, he might have some connections to some big companies. Investigate it."

"Yes, sir," Mr. Wei answered dutifully. 

Xuyu let out a sigh of relief as the scary boss did not take one of her limbs as she expected. However, she would not be able to be thankful as a mountain of work would be waiting for her as a punishment.

The two subordinates then went out of the office to do what their boss had tasked them to do.

Lu Jin leaned against his chair and looked down at the table. The butler then walked to his side and spoke of his concern.

"Young Master, please take a rest first. I will prepare for your accommodation." 

The butler knew that his master just came from the South after settling some hectic business. Now he came here after a long travel. For sure, the Young Master's body must be tired. 

However, the man was already used to it. He dismissed his butler's concern. "No need. Hand me the file about Lu Yin Ze's matter."

The butler had no choice but to follow his master's will. He passed the file regarding Lu Yin Ze's whereabouts and movements in the recent years. 

The silent room was quiet, only the pages turning could be heard.

Mr. Wei only briefed him about Lu Yin Ze's main points, such as which shareholders supported the Second Young Master, or when he was titled as the official heir, and his engagements with the other legendary families. 

Lu Jin was naturally interested with the major information, but he admittedly was also interested in his small matters. 

Like Lu Yin Ze's trip in his senior high, his graduation, his birthday, how he was handling university, the parties he attended, and which new friends he made. 

Some things he already knew, while some he just came to know.

This report has attached photos prepared for him by his butler and Mr. Wei. 

Lu Jin learned quite a lot from this report. 

His little brother became more active in the Lu Empire's business and was getting a lot of supports from the shareholders and chief of each business. He was attending a lot of banquets and his debut was successful. His fame as a beautiful angelic prince was circulating between ladies of upper society. 

Lu Jin lightly smirked at this. He turned the pages softly without a hurry.

His brother seemed more intimate with the Young Miss of Xiong family, as well as with two other people from third generation families, the girl surnamed Song and the boy surnamed Gu.

It seemed that the little kid was finally able to have real friends.

His tight lips and cold face slightly loosened at this moment. There was a gentle air on his brows as he turned the pages one by one. He would stare longer at the pictures before turning to the next page. 

At last, the final and most recent report was a small fight which happened in the Xiong's Anniversary Banquet. It was a fight with the Tang family's Miss. 

Lu Jin's expression changed subtly.

Was the Lu family and the Tang family not getting along well? What was the reason?

There was no report about a feud between the two families.

Then, was it just between the two younger generations?

However, the last article on the report made him more confused. 

The Tang family invited the Second Young Master, Lu Yin Ze, to the upcoming debut banquet of the Second Young Miss of the Tang family. The one who issued the invitation personally was none other than the eldest Tang's Miss, who happened to be the one who was in conflict with Lu Yin Ze.

Lu Jin: ???

What was happening? 

Lu Jin felt puzzled at the sudden development.

He thought for a moment and called out to his butler. 

"Contact the Tang family, tell them that I am in the country and the First Young Master also wants to attend the banquet."
