After all is said and done, isn't this all because he advanced the plan but failed to kill the target?
He said he wasn't afraid of Yan Yincheng, but he probably just wanted to extort a fortune from her!
But Yuan Ya'er didn't dare to say such things and anger him anymore. She had almost been strangled to death by him just now!
Two billion... Where could she get so much money?
When she got married, the Yan family gave the Yuan family 600 million yuan as a betrothal gift. Before the wedding, her mother transferred half of it to her account, but this sum was far from enough to pay the 2 billion yuan he demanded.
Even if he accepted installment - plan payments, taking out all the money she had on hand would surely alert Yan Zhen, her parents. She wouldn't do that.
"I don't have that much money." Yuan Ya'er gritted her teeth and made a decision in her heart. "I only want one person dead. Help me get rid of Ji Xinyue."
Since the man said Ji Xinyue was an add - on, it should be inexpensive, right?
However, the man said, "It's no challenge to get rid of someone who doesn't have long to live anyway. I won't take this task."
The man's unpredictability wore Yuan Ya'er out both physically and mentally.
Four years ago, to ensure the plan that night went off without a hitch, she used up all three chances the man had promised to help her. She no longer had any bargaining chips to make him help her unconditionally.
Was she just going to let it go? She could come up with other excuses to deceive Chocolate and Guan Baocheng, but she couldn't do the same with Ji Xinyue. If Yan Zhen really met Ji Xinyue and asked a few questions, he would know what had happened that year.
Gritting her teeth, she said, "I'll buy your service. You're responsible for covering the hospital surveillance and diverting the medical staff. As for killing Ji Xinyue, I'll do it myself. How much for this?"
Do it herself?
The man raised an eyebrow and said, "50 million."
"Deal!"
After paying, the man threw two small vials to Yuan Ya'er and said,
"The one on the left is what you should use on Ji Xinyue. Remember, don't mix them up. If you do, and you end up a widow, don't blame me."
Yuan Ya'er was taken aback. "What do you mean? What's in the vial on the right?"
The man said, "It's a medicine to help your man last longer. It's a freebie. If you don't want it, you can throw it away."
"I don't need it!" Yuan Ya'er shrieked and immediately threw the vial into the nearby trash can.
But after walking a few steps, she suddenly turned back, retrieved the vial from the trash can, and angrily stuffed it into her handbag.
It was all that bitch Xu Zixi's fault. Now everyone knew her married life on the wedding night was not harmonious! After getting rid of Ji Xinyue, she would surely find a way to kill Xu Zixi and Yan Yincheng!
After Yuan Ya'er left the beauty salon, her subordinate knocked on the door and said to the man,
"Sir, there are a lot of vehicles parked at the nearby intersections. It seems we've been targeted. What should we do?"
Remembering the silent show of defiance from the woman on the surveillance as she left, the man sneered and said, "It's just a futile struggle. Ignore it."
She was just a caged canary with broken wings. After finally finding a new feeder, she became aggressive again. What could she achieve?
Even if they knew he was here and traced him through Yuan Ya'er, so what?
It was nothing to worry about.
However, at that moment, the computer behind the man suddenly emitted a shrill alarm. This was a warning that the firewall was under attack.
The man immediately turned around. Warning windows were popping up rapidly on the screen, urgent and relentless. His system was just one step away from being completely controlled!
The man's expression turned solemn. He immediately sat in front of the computer and tapped the keyboard rapidly with both hands.
...
In a secluded street near the beauty salon in the Western District, a black Lincoln with privacy film was parked quietly by the roadside. A Qiang and Wei Shu were leaning against the car. They seemed to be chatting, but in fact, their eyes were vigilantly observing the surroundings.
At another intersection not far away, there was also an unassuming car parked, forming a subtle connection with A Qiang here.
From the back seat of the car came the rapid and rhythmic sound of fingertips tapping on the keyboard.
On the computer in front of Xu Zixi, with the input of commands, she easily invaded the beauty salon's system. The system was running as normal as when she first came, showing no sign of anything amiss.
But she knew it was all a disguise.
Among the numerous surveillance cameras, she accurately found the most unassuming one facing the hall. She bypassed one, two, three layers of disguise on it and successfully attacked the core of the second system hidden behind -
97%!
Suddenly, the offensive slowed down. Xu Zixi's system was violently counter - attacked by the other side. The opponent's attack was rapid and tricky. In a short period of time, they found the loophole on her side and tried to counter - control.
Xu Zixi frowned slightly.
She didn't expect the opponent to be able to detect her traces. It seemed the other person was also an experienced hacker?
Raising her eyebrows, she quickly patched her loophole and counter - attacked in the same way.
Xu Zixi's typing speed on the keyboard got faster and faster. Her expression became more and more serious, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
At the same time, in the secret room on the second floor of the beauty salon, the man was also having a hard time. The computer's fluorescent light shone on his face, changing his perennial gloomy and world - weary expression to one of unprecedented seriousness.
In the back - and - forth battle, both sides' systems were patched to be invulnerable, and there were no more places to attack. This result was beyond both of their imaginations.
Xu Zixi and the man in different locations simultaneously stopped their aching fingertips.
They had actually reached a draw.
They underestimated him/her. They both thought at the same time.
The man was completely intrigued by this unexpected turn of events.
A few seconds later, he sent a set of codes to Xu Zixi. After being compiled and translated into text, it read: White Crane.
This was self - introduction.
There was a certain etiquette among hackers. After a head - on confrontation, whether they were enemies or not, they would introduce their names to each other.
Out of courtesy, Xu Zixi moved her fingers and edited a message to respond: Whale Fall.
But when she was about to press the send button, her finger suddenly stopped.
Wait. White Crane? White Crane? Why did this name sound so familiar?
Xu Zixi frowned and thought for a long time. Finally, she remembered where she had heard this name!
When she first came to this world, she had seen the future experiences of her two children. Yuan Xiaoxuan was supposed to be a doctor when he grew up, but his medical career was ruined due to a failed surgery. In a moment of desperation, he took the wrong path, joined an organization, and became a feared villain.
And his guide, or rather, his master, had the code - name "White Crane" in the organization.
It was him!
A chill ran down her spine, but it was quickly followed by overwhelming anger.
If White Crane knew Yuan Ya'er, then Yuan Xiaoxuan's transformation into a villain might not have been an accident at all, but rather a deliberate plan by someone!
With a cold face, she deleted all the codes she had just typed and re - entered a response: "I'll teach you a lesson tonight."
"Just you? You're daydreaming." The other side replied.
Xu Zixi responded, "It's just me! If you have the guts, don't run away!"
What was owed to Yuan Xi four years ago, what was owed to Brother Cheng four years later, and what was owed to Yuan Xiaoxuan in her previous life, she would make him pay it all back today!
