Asked you to write a book, not to confess your criminal record!

F{h*F5..LjChapter 330: Who is scheming against whom?_2

Sure.

“`

That’s right.

A scourge lingers for a thousand years.

A criminal suspect like Lin Chuan, who’s done plenty of evil, must have a tough fate indeed.

That night, Lin Chuan indulged in a barbecue, eating until he was stuffed.

When he got home, the night had deepened.

After Lin Chuan comfortably showered, he once again sat down in front of his computer.

The late-night snack with Shen Qianqian and Xia Qingqing served a dual purpose, both to mislead Big Tiger and Baisheng Group, and to replenish his energy.

Tonight, there was still work to do!

First, Lin Chuan needed to confirm the new location to which Big Tiger, Yao Jie, Xiaoyang, and the others had moved, to ensure they remained within his control.

Just because he let them go this time didn’t mean he intended to let them escape.

Next, he had to plan his infiltration into Baisheng Group.

Because by three o’clock tomorrow afternoon, the plan to take action against Lin Chuan at Heart Language Company would be canceled, Big Tiger would surely report to his boss, Chairman Zhao.

The cancelation of this plan meant that the extensive preparations they’d made for a long time were all in vain.

Therefore, Chairman Zhao would certainly find a way to launch a second “attack”!

This time, his assault would be more cautious and tighter.

And the first thing to do was to control Lin Chuan’s sources of information, namely the internet.

By this reasoning, Chairman Zhao would strengthen his hacker team!

“Squirrel.”

This time, Lin Chuan took the initiative to contact Squirrel.

Squirrel responded quickly, verifying that the surrounding environment was safe and that they could communicate.

Lin Chuan said, “Tomorrow morning, Chairman Zhao will likely ask you to help him strengthen his hacker team, at which point you’ll need to make a suggestion.”

“How should I propose?” Squirrel asked.

“Suggest to Chairman Zhao to recruit AW’s original hackers to join the team under your leadership!”

Lin Chuan made a startling statement.

Squirrel carefully read the line and confirmed, “Recruit AW’s original hackers?”

“Correct!”

Lin Chuan didn’t elaborate further.

“Alright!” Squirrel decided to carry out the task.

After finishing the communication with Squirrel, Lin Chuan let out a slight sigh of relief.

To recruit AW’s original hackers was actually to plant more of his own people within reach of mobile devices.

AW was both his enemy and a resource he could exploit.

At that moment.

Lin Chuan logged onto the dark web.

Known as the God of Hackers, and being intimately familiar with the hacker community, Lin Chuan naturally knew how to contact hackers, especially those from AW.

He wasn’t looking to turn these hackers.

That would be too risky.

He wanted to pose as a mysterious financier, throwing out bait to have several of AW’s hackers, once inside Baisheng Group, pass on some non-critical information to him.

The information that the hackers would convey wasn’t important.

What was essential was that once these hackers infiltrated Baisheng Group, they would become Lin Chuan’s ‘eyes’ within, under the joint arrangement with Squirrel, facilitating Lin Chuan in obtaining deeper information about Baisheng Group.

Soon, Lin Chuan, accustomed to dealing with hackers, contacted five of AW’s hackers, each with different financier identities.

These hackers were not related to each other, which on another level, ensured the feasibility of executing Lin Chuan’s plan.

The next day.

The sun shone bright, its delicate brilliance reflecting off the peaceful urban district.@@novelbin@@

The warmth of several sunny days had significantly reduced the chill.

A representative from Heart Language Company personally called the Little Landlady, informing her that Heart Language Company had an urgent matter and was canceling the network security services scheduled for the afternoon with company 720.

Meanwhile, within Baisheng Group.

Chairman Zhao, who had been all smiles the day before, had an exceptionally bad complexion that morning, looking haggard and angry.

He sat in his office, holding the telephone handset, listening to Big Tiger’s report.

After musing for a while.

He coldly instructed his assistant, “Call Squirrel for me.”

Squirrel had already become something of a confidant for him, and being not far from Chairman Zhao’s office when he was notified, he immediately put down his work and rushed over.

“Chairman Zhao, you wanted to see me.” Squirrel entered the office, greeting Chairman Zhao.

“`

Chairman Zhao nodded, raised his eyes to look at Squirrel, and asked, “Young man, the disguise you put on that IP address last night, really, no one but you could see through it?”

Squirrel didn’t know why Chairman Zhao was asking, but he nodded confidently, “Absolutely certain!”

Chairman Zhao didn’t say anything, his eyes rolling around.

He had already had people investigate Squirrel’s deceptive protection program after receiving Big Tiger’s firsthand report last night. It was truly ingeniously impenetrable. The difficulty for Lin Chuan to figure out the protection program and quietly get past it was extremely high.

Asking this question this morning was just for peace of mind.

He didn’t want Squirrel, with his half-hearted commitment, to drop the ball at a critical moment or to hide something, which would be an insult to him!

Intolerable!

Fortunately, Squirrel’s language and demeanor provided him with a definitive answer.

Chairman Zhao reassured, “My man, you are indeed the most effective!”

“Chairman Zhao has countless capable people under him…”

Squirrel flattered Chairman Zhao, who took great pleasure in the praise, grinning with creases forming on his chubby face.

Then.

Chairman Zhao pretended to be disheartened, sighed, and said, “Alas, they say I have countless capable people, but in reality, very few can be used. Let’s talk about the cybersecurity sector you’re in charge of; besides you, who else is there?”

Squirrel’s heart skipped a beat.

This…

Wouldn’t continuing this discussion be the task ‘Falcon’ sent last night?

How could Falcon predict Chairman Zhao’s thoughts with such precision?

Squirrel bowed his head, said nothing.

Quietly waiting for Chairman Zhao to speak again.

After a long pause.

Chairman Zhao sighed again, “How do you feel about the Hacker team you’re leading now?”

“This…”

Squirrel hemmed and hawed.

“But speak freely,” Chairman Zhao added.

Squirrel contemplated, “The skills are inconsistent; on the whole, they’re slightly inferior and can’t really compare with the top Hacker teams.”

Chairman Zhao nodded slightly, “Then let’s enhance the Hacker team.”

Squirrel appeared slightly startled, thinking to himself how Falcon really had accurately predicted Chairman Zhao’s move.

Amazing!

But, to throw out the goal given by Falcon directly would be too obvious.

So Squirrel solemnly said, “Chairman Zhao, please give me some time; I will train the Hacker team well and strive to become a top-tier Hacker team!”

Chairman Zhao dismissed the idea, “There’s no time.”

Squirrel, “Then…”

“Recruit directly, do you have any good suggestions?” Chairman Zhao obviously trusted Squirrel.

Indeed, Squirrel was now the strongest Hacker under Chairman Zhao.

After a long thought, Squirrel said, “Chairman Zhao, if we’re to recruit directly, I personally think recruiting Hackers formerly from AW would be more straightforward.”

“Recruiting Hackers formerly from AW?”

Chairman Zhao first pondered with furrowed brows, then lifted his eyes to look at Squirrel.

Squirrel then shared the argument he had pondered all night, “Here’s what I think: Lin Chuan recently dismantled AW, leaving many Hackers essentially homeless, AW can’t provide them with what they deserve anymore; if we offer them an olive branch, they should be quite willing to serve Chairman Zhao.”

Chairman Zhao’s eyes lit up.

Not because they would be willing to work for him, but because of the mention that ‘Lin Chuan has dismantled AW.’

The enemy of my enemy is my friend!

Besides, AW and Lin Chuan were already irreconcilable.

Now to absorb some of AW’s Hackers into his fold and tell them that the person he wanted to overturn was Lin Chuan, what would they do?

It goes without saying!

“This matter, you take charge!” Chairman Zhao’s mood had cleared considerably that morning.

Once he recruited some of AW’s Hackers and added Squirrel, his capable lieutenant, to suppress Lin Chuan’s dominance in the cyber sector, then capturing him in real life would be ever closer to secrecy, without any possibility of leakage!

Perfect!

Squirrel shook his head and said, “Chairman Zhao, I have just arrived, it would not look good taking charge of recruitment so quickly.”

In reality, this was Lin Chuan advising him to avoid suspicion.

As long as the people weren’t recruited by Squirrel, then even if there were problems, they couldn’t be blamed on Squirrel.

Chairman Zhao considered for a moment, his jowls quivering, and grinned, “You’re right, I will use my connections to carry out this task!”
