Hidden identities of the AI Heiress - Chapter 917

Chapter 917: Chapter 917: This is Premeditated, Who is Provoking!

Professor Qiao had wanted to make friends, but since she didn’t know how, someone suggested she start with online friends.

However, there weren’t many people who could really chat with her, except this person, S, who got along with her quite well.

Because S was a technology enthusiast, their conversations were all about technology-related topics, and later the two met in person.

Only then did she learn that S was a member of a well-known association.

Although she always kept a straight face, S adapted quite well, but once she returned to the Lu Family, they rarely contacted each other.

Probably because she hadn’t replied, S sent her a bunch of messages again.

[S: I really miss our last meeting and the discussions we had, which were incredibly beneficial. There’s an invite for us to a conference, and initially, I wasn’t interested. But then I learned it’s being held in China.]

[S: I thought, this means we can meet again, right?]

[S: President, do you want to join us?]

When Qiao Yun saw the word ‘President’, she slightly curled her lips.

Because she had defeated all the members of the opposing association, the President waved his hand and unilaterally decided to offer her the position of President, demoting himself to Vice President without her consent.

Qiao Yun felt speechless.

But a conference?

Qiao Yun blinked and replied: [What conference?]

The other party seemed to have been waiting for her reply, and they quickly responded.

[S: Wow, President, you finally replied to me. It looks like it’s a conference jointly organized by Tianqi and the Future Alliance. It’s said they sought the participation of our Association to ensure fairness, fearing Tianqi might cheat. But never mind that, the main thing is, will you come?]

[S: They also said that if the President could make an appearance, it would be perfect.]

“…”

Qiao Yun: “…”

[Alright, I will go.]

As a participant.

After S received the reply, he excitedly sent a bunch of nonsense, which Qiao Yun did not respond to, keeping her face straight and inscrutable.

Li Hanzhou waited until Qiao Yun finished chatting before asking, “Are you leaving?”

“Yes.”

Qiao Yun stood up.

Observing her expression, Li Hanzhou said meaningfully: “Hmm, why do I feel like you’re somewhat taking pleasure in others’ misfortune?”

Qiao Yun put on an innocent face: “Really?”

She definitely wasn’t pitying Adrian, who, after searching high and low, ended up coming back to her.

“If you say not, then it isn’t,” Li Hanzhou didn’t probe further.

Qiao Yun just walked out of the restaurant.

As soon as Adrian received the reply from the Technology Association and saw that they explicitly accepted the invitation, he couldn’t help but show a proud smile.

Huo Lin asked, “What good news has got the doctor so delighted?”

Adrian replied with restrained pride: “The Technology Association accepted my invitation, and they even told me that the President of the Association will attend.”

Huo Lin was a bit puzzled, was Adrian’s influence really that significant?

Adrian was also quite surprised; compared to the Future Alliance, the Technology Association had a higher status. He originally thought that inviting members from the Association would have been good enough.

He did not expect the President of the Association to come personally; it seemed that his influence was still quite effective.

…

Back at the villa, Li Hanzhou wanted to spend some affectionate time with Qiao Yun, but she coldly refused, greeted him and went upstairs.

Qiao Yun went upstairs, opened her room door, freshened up, changed into comfortable pajamas, and while drying her hair, she turned on her supercomputer.

Qiao Yun put down the towel, picked up the water cup, and took small sips, waiting for the computer to boot up fully. A chill flashed through her clear eyes, reflecting the glow of the screen, and then she put down the cup and placed her hands on the keyboard.

Over here.

Just as Adrian arrived at the hotel lobby, he received an urgent phone call.

“Doctor, something’s gone wrong; the entire network of the base is paralyzed!”

“What?”

“We’re under attack, they’re dismantling our defense systems!”

Adrian didn’t even have time to be shocked, he commanded sternly: “Do I need to teach you guys? Counter-attack immediately!”

“Doctor, we’ve already counter-attacked, but the enemy is too powerful. In just over ten minutes, they’ve breached the core and now all machines are inoperable.”

If it weren’t for a serious escalation, they wouldn’t ask their mentor for help.

Before Adrian could reply, suddenly there came a cry from the other end, followed by a voice filled with disbelief.

“Doctor, it’s terrible, the enemy has published the vulnerabilities of our defense system on the dark web, now anyone can breach our base!”

Adrian was completely stunned.

Patching vulnerabilities isn’t quick, it takes time.

By doing this, doesn’t it mean that just anyone could pry into the secrets of the base?

Adrian’s face darkened: “This is premeditated, who is provoking us! Find out immediately!”

“Doctor, we can’t trace them, they are stronger than us.”

Adrian was so angry he could explode, it wasn’t like no one had tried to attack the base before, but none had succeeded. How could the base have fallen just after he left for a short while!

This method… why does it seem familiar? It seems he just used it today. Could it be the Tianqi Research Institute?

Enraged, Adrian contacted the person in charge of the dark web. He had dealings with the dark web, otherwise, when he posted a bounty for Tianqi on the dark web before, there wouldn’t have been so many hackers taking the job.

Now that the enemy has posted on the dark web, maybe they can be traced through there.

However, the dark web’s person in charge told him that they not only couldn’t trace the enemy, but the post about the meeting was also locked.

Which means, unless the enemy voluntarily deletes the post, they are powerless.

Adrian was dumbstruck.

Even the hackers of the dark web can’t breach them, what kind of monster is this person!

Could such a capable person come from Tianqi Research Institute?

Adrian’s mind was in disarray, completely taken aback by the current situation.

Meanwhile, Huo Lin who was about to leave knowing the Future Alliance was attacked but ended up staying, unexplainably thought of Qiao Yun’s face.

He was somewhat surprised at why he subconsciously thought this might be Qiao Yun’s doing.

Is it because she cracked the Doomsday Virus before?

Huo Lin narrowed his eyes, ignoring the frantic Adrian, and took out his phone to contact his subordinate: [Check into Qiao Yun thoroughly, I want all her information.]

Though it seemed unbelievable, his intuition still made him pay more attention to Qiao Yun.

Especially since Qiao Yun is so proficient with computers.

Even though Adrian once asked Qiao Yun if she was Professor Qiao’s student, she didn’t admit it back then, and it was everyone’s presupposition.

He certainly doesn’t believe one could be self-taught to that extent.

…

Qiao Yun moved her fingers, clearing all traces of herself cleanly, then turned off the computer, went to blow-dry her hair, and finally lay down on the bed to sleep.

She didn’t look like someone who had just done something significant.

Professor Qiao might be too lazy to bother with these people, but she wouldn’t let them bully her.

If they dare to cause trouble during the press conference, they must be prepared for the consequences.
