Chapter 280 Requesting To Meet Lu Jinye

Without alerting anyone, Linda and the technicians made a beeline to the hotel where Eric was located.

At that moment, Eric was still in the room, cracking the most complicated firewall. He frowned. He had never been so focused.

If he managed to hack through this last firewall, he could have all access to Lu Jinye’s company’s core information.

However, there was an expert in the company.

Eric marveled at the last firewall set up by the expert in Lu Jinye’s company. He had spent the longest time trying to conquer the final round.

The more challenging it was, the more worthwhile to try. Every cell in him was buzzing about fighting the opponent.

Because of the excitement, he did not notice what was happening outside of the room.

It was not until someone knocked on the door that he suddenly turned his head vigilantly and listened carefully to the movement outside the door. There was definitely more than one person outside of the room.

Danger.

That was his first judgment.

He immediately turned off his computer and opened the door, pretending to be sleepy. The moment he opened the door, he saw the police and a group of people who looked like programmers.

He could not help yawning and ask, “What’s the matter?”

“We need to check the room, and this is our search warrant.”

With that said, the police entered the room, and Eric did not stop them. He allowed them to enter the room and look around.

The hotel room where Mu Zhi lived was an ordinary, simple suite with a bathroom, a study room, and a living room.

The police checked the room thoroughly, but they did not find anyone other than Eric. They even went to the window and looked down to make sure that no one escaped by jumping out of the window. But there was no sign of anyone escaping through the window!

In fact, there was only a four or five years old boy in the room.

“Are there any adults with you?”

The police frowned and asked.

“My mom went out. Is it wrong for me to be on my own, sir? I’m so sleepy.”

Eric yawned again. He looked relaxed when he did not speak, but when he did, he could quickly melt people’s hearts. That instantly softened many people’s tone when talking to him.

“Could it be a mistake?”

Someone turned and asked Linda.

Everyone looked at each other. After all, there was only a small child in the room. A child this young could not possibly hack into a system. It would be too ridiculous.

Linda was puzzled too, then she asked the police, “But, isn’t this the place you tracked down?”

That was a fact, but this child overturned the fact.

“Forget it. Maybe we’re wrong. Let’s check again.”

Looking at the handsome young boy, the policewoman could not bear to keep the little guy awake, so she wanted to leave.

Everyone seemed to have agreed with her decision. When they were about to leave, Linda noticed a computer on the table.

“Check that computer.”

Suddenly, a supervisor said to one of the programmers.

In an instant, a person hurried towards the computer, turned it on, and started checking. Eric’s expression, on the other hand, was unanimously watched by everyone else in the room.

There was no expression on his face. He seemed to be indifferent regarding the situation.

He just let the programmer check the computer.

His tiny body was straightened.

However, when the computer was switched on, the programmer was stunned by a system that he had not seen before.

He stared at the system blankly. Staring at every character carefully, he knew all the codes, but when combined together, he could not comprehend them, let alone cracking them.

“What’s the matter? Is it so complicated to switch on a computer?”

Linda could feel the programmer’s hesitation and walked towards the programmer. She frowned when she saw the page.

Although she was no professional, nor could she understand the codes, she knew what she saw was something different from the usual start-up page. So she immediately called the remaining programmers to study the codes.

After half an hour, no one managed to open the page.

Everyone was stunned.

“This page can’t be opened and the procedure looks complicated. He must be the one who hacked into our company’s system!”

Linda frowned. Although the little boy was cute, her boss would kill her if he knew that she failed to complete the mission because of a little boy’s cuteness.

So, she pointed her finger at Eric.

“You have to go to the police station with us, and please contact your parents now.” Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

The police looked at Eric and said to him in a tone as gentle as a lamb.

“I’m sorry, but you can’t take me away. I’m underage, and I’m not from your country. The laws of your country are invalid for me.”

Eric raised his beautiful eyes and spoke seriously.

The other party could not help but frown.

Linda sighed.

“Then can you promise that you will not invade our company’s system in the future? If you can, I can leave you here!”

Linda could only take a step back. It was a risky situation. She did not know what to do.

She prayed that this little kid only did that on a whim.

At that moment, it was as if Eric had taken the initiative. He touched his chin gently and pondered carefully before speaking to Linda, “I only have one request. If my request is fulfilled, I will not invade your system anymore.”

“What is it?”

Linda looked at the little child.

He was obviously shorter than her, but she felt like she was talking to Lu Jinye. She could not bear to turn down any of his requests.

“I would like to meet the person who designed the last firewall.”

“Huh?” Linda was stunned.

She looked at the supervisor of the programming department, then saw the supervisor waving his hand at her, and walked to the corridor.

It was evident that he wanted to talk to Linda personally, so Linda followed suit.

After she went out, the supervisor said, “Linda, it is impossible to fulfil his request. Mr. Lu himself designed the last firewall. How could we ask Mr. Lu to come and meet this child?”
