Chapter 427 Defeated Long Ago

"Half the time has already passed. It's impossible for Xi Zong's super-defense wall to be easily breached in less than ten or twenty minutes!" Several devout followers of Xi Zong were full of confidence.

Xi Yun was even more confident of victory and was very relaxed.

But he only relaxed for two seconds...

"etc!"

"Why is Mr. Xi's system constantly giving errors?"

Looking at Xi Yun's face, which had been as steady as a mountain just moments before, it was now cracked and she could no longer hold it in!

"How is this possible? My defenses were just completed. No one has ever been able to break through them in just a few minutes!"

"Never anyone?" Wen Ni, sitting in front of the computer opposite, smiled as she typed. "That's because you haven't met me!"

Arrogant and extremely confident.

Xi Yun was so angry she wanted to grind her teeth!

But he had no time to get angry. He was typing away so hard he almost flew off the keyboard, but he could only watch helplessly as his security system crumbled bit by bit!

Wen Ni's code army advanced rapidly, splitting into three routes.

Vanguard, offense, defense.

Completed in one go!

They routed Xi Yun's army, leaving them utterly powerless to fight back!

The offensive lasted no more than twenty minutes.

Wen Ni pushed the keyboard aside, a victorious smile spreading across her face. "Ending the battle early, President Xi, you flatter me~"

"Give way? I gave way my ass..."

Xi Yun looked so haggard that she seemed to have aged several years, and she almost smashed the keyboard!

The onlookers were utterly astonished.

"She... won so easily?"

"It's as simple as fixing a bug..."

"This girl looks very young, but I never expected her to be such a skilled hacker!"

Under everyone's gaze, Wen Ni stood up.

Xi Yun also stood up to block her way. "Aren't you a soldier? How come you know all this? And are you so proficient in it?"

"It's just a side job, I occasionally participate in online rankings to earn some money," Wen Ni shrugged.

A side hustle... just a side hustle?

A side hustle that made him a star?

Xi Yun felt mocked once again.

His face was as black as soybean paste, and he remained silent for a long time.

Wen Ni, however, turned to look at Lu Jinye.

"Isn't your group company's security and maintenance also under General Manager Xi's responsibility?"

“Hmm,” Lu Jinye said.

"Why are you asking this?" Xi Yun pressed.

"Nothing, it's just that your methods seem familiar." Wen Ni calmly dropped a bombshell. "Over a year ago, I hacked into the Lu Family Group and the military's network. The defenses back then were pretty much the same as yours today."

"What!!!"

Xi Yun seemed to be hit by a huge shock, her body swayed, and she took a step back!

"That...that hacker, it was you?"

"yes."

"I already told you, you can't beat her." Qin Yuan couldn't help but say, "Do you know who she is? She's one of the top three hackers on the international hacking leaderboard! She's the captain of our makeshift hacking team! Although, you know, she's lucky if she shows up twice a year to lead us in competitions..."

"She's on the international hacker leaderboard?" Xi Yun rubbed her forehead. "You, you call this a side job?!"

"That's amazing!" The surrounding programmers' eyes lit up, and they crowded around Wen Ni. "We actually saw a real master! Master, let's add each other on WeChat! Let's discuss hacking techniques!"

"Cough cough!"

Lu Jinye clenched his fist and cleared his throat.

Everyone immediately tensed up and scattered like birds, pretending to continue working, but in reality, their eyes were practically glued to Wen Ni!

After all, you might only meet a master of this level once in your lifetime!

"This round, I admit I was careless and lost to you..." Xi Yun steadied herself, her gaze deep. "But I can't lose the next match! Otherwise, if word gets out, my fighting arena will have been opened for nothing!"

"Then why don't you give it a try?"

Wen Ni raised the corners of her lips slightly, exuding a strong aura as she pushed open the door and stepped out.

The thugs spontaneously cleared out a space.

They formed a large circle, with Wen Ni and Xi Yun standing opposite each other in the middle of the circle!

She unzipped her coat with one hand and casually tossed it to the ground.

She has a slender and tall figure, wearing only a black tube top. When she stretches her arms, the skin of her waist and abdomen is faintly visible, without an ounce of excess fat.

Black trousers hugged his long, slender legs, with one leg slightly bent, giving him an explosive, leopard-like appearance!

Lu Jinye's gaze swept over the muscular men around him, then he glanced at Wen Ni. He tilted his head back and took a big gulp of warm milk, his eyes dark and uneasy.

"If we're going to compete, let's compete in something special." Xi Yun raised her left arm and roughly pointed. "All the weapons you can see in your line of sight, excluding guns, you and I can each choose three. Best two out of three rounds, and the winner of each round will be determined by the opponent calling a stop and conceding!"

"Sure." Wen Ni readily agreed, her gaze sweeping over the dazzling array of weapons on the wall. "Do I have to choose three?"

"certainly."

"This kind of competition, in addition to testing combat skills, also tests the contestants' proficiency with various weapons! As professional fighters, anything that our hands can touch can become our weapon!"

Xi Yun stood with her hands on her hips, her face fair and serious, then suddenly seemed to remember something, her smile turning contemptuous.

"Oh, I forgot, you're different from us. You're not a thug, and besides a gun, you probably don't have any other handy weapons, right? How about we change the way we compete? So that no one will say I'm bullying you!"

"Need not."

Wen Ni raised her cold eyes and heard the sarcasm in Xi Yun's tone!

She stepped forward and deftly pulled a dagger, a whip, and a frying pan—something that could hardly be called a weapon—from the wall.

"These three will do."

"Are you... sure?" Xi Yun asked.

"I haven't used whips much, but the frying pan is quite interesting." Wen Ni stretched her limbs. "But it's okay, we soldiers are adaptable, we don't need special training, we'll get the hang of it after a while!"

The thugs, after many days of rigorous training: ...feel like they've been mocked.

"That's outrageous!"

"Brother Xi! Beat her to a pulp!"

"Let her see what we're capable of!"

The crowd was shouting and the atmosphere was electric!

Xi Yun calmly walked around the area, selected three relatively suitable weapons, and returned.

“Master Lu, Xi Yun went a bit too far today. Why didn’t you stop him?” Qin Yuan couldn’t help but turn around.

Lu Jinye lowered his eyes and lit a cigarette.

"Given Xi Yun's personality, if no one keeps putting him in a tough spot, he'll suffer sooner or later. Although he's sharp-tongued, he knows in his heart that Wen Ni is my person, so he'll know his limits when he gets physical."

"So Master Lu deliberately wanted Miss Wen Ni to dampen Old Xi's spirit!" Qin Yuan finally understood.

"Sort of, but not entirely." Lu Jinye exhaled a smoke ring, looking through the swirling smoke at the radiant girl standing among the crowd. "Wen Ni is the one I've chosen. Whether it's Xi Yun or Bei Tuo, they'll ultimately submit to her out of consideration for me. But this submission isn't from the heart. What I want is for them to genuinely acknowledge her and submit to her! And then, the entire Lu family. Only by helping her win people's hearts can she gain the ability to control the whole situation!"

"Master Lu, you've really gone to great lengths," Qin Yuan couldn't help but exclaim.

Turning our attention back to the present

What they saw was the spirited and radiant young woman, Wen Ni!

"Are you ready? If you are, let's begin!"
