Considering this possibility, the international rogues got excited.

This is the moment they have been waiting for with all their might.

Dragon Kingdom.

A hacker group that had been lying in wait finally received its mission orders after a long period of dormancy.

The night was hazy, inside an office building not far from the headquarters of Ruyang Group.

A man with a large nose looked at the technicians sitting leisurely in front of their computers and gave them a cruel smile.

"Now it's our turn to shine. Now, go all out to hack into Ruyang Group's data network, copy everything, and destroy their network."

Like assassins lurking in the night, streams of data began to converge on Ruyang Group along the network cables.

"Master, something terrible has happened! Our server has been hacked."

"Calm down, you are a top technical talent in the country."

Seeing the tense expression on his cybersecurity director's face, Su Wu felt somewhat frustrated.

This is the hacker successor he trained at the risk of exposing his identity, so why is he so agitated?

"Li Xiang, did you get this impulsive nature from your cousin Li Zhi? That won't do."

"Master, you're right. My IQ is much higher than his."

"Intelligence alone isn't enough; emotional intelligence is also essential. Remember, high emotional intelligence is a prerequisite for becoming a top hacker."

While giving instructions, Su Wu casually ate his noodles with soybean paste.

Li Xiang smiled wryly and said, "Master, if I had your skills, I wouldn't be in such a hurry. The enemy's intrusion is very strong right now, and our people are struggling to hold on. Should we cut off the network?"

"Cutting off the network is indeed a solution, but how much do you think we'll lose in an hour?"

"Probably tens of millions, but if the internet connection isn't interrupted..."

"I can tell you with absolute certainty that disconnecting the internet won't help. Once they've hacked in, they've definitely already connected to our internal network. Go ahead and disconnect it and see."

"But Master, then what about us...?"

"It's only a few tens of millions. How can we gain any understanding without putting it into practice? This time, we should catch some big fish."

As they were talking, Su Wu wiped his mouth, got up, put his arm around Li Xiang's shoulder, and walked out.

Li Xiang is Li Zhi's cousin, and he is 20 years old this year.

This kid showed extraordinary computer talent from a young age, which is why he was introduced to Su Wu.

Su Wu also liked Li Xiang very much and groomed him to be his successor in cybersecurity.

The two walked side by side into the chaotic workspace.

At this moment, a group of young people sat in front of their computers, looking rather overwhelmed, while the flashing red alarm light remained on.

Su Wu sighed as he looked on; he knew exactly what had happened.

You could say that this is the kind of thing he used to do.

"Okay, let's disconnect the internet now."

With his order, the young people immediately disconnected from the internet; they simply couldn't withstand the intrusion any longer.

As the internet connection was lost, the alarm lights went out instantly, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Xiang showed a relaxed expression, "Master, we'll start patching it up right away and try to finish as soon as possible to minimize losses."

"What the hell are you talking about? Has the LAN monitoring been turned off?"

"That's impossible."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhi immediately ran to his workstation and began operating the equipment.

"Holy crap, when was the LAN monitoring turned off, and why was it disguised?"

Within a few breaths, Li Xiang noticed something was wrong.

At some point, the local area network monitoring program had been tampered with.

Upon hearing this, everyone erupted into chaos once again.

After a good ten minutes of troubleshooting, they finally restored the local area network monitoring.

In an instant, a piercing alarm sounded, and the red light flashed again.

The local area network has been hacked.

Li Xiang's mind was filled with Su Wu's earlier words, his face full of disbelief.

Su Wu observed the whole thing with a cold eye and laughed, "Is it that strange? Think about it, the purpose of the other side invading our headquarters network is nothing more than the database, isn't it?"

"Our database adopts a multi-level separation model, so unless the local area network is compromised, it is difficult to obtain much information even if the external network is compromised."

"Don't you realize that the purpose of someone who dares to infiltrate our headquarters and cause you trouble is unlikely to be simple?"

The group of apprentices and employees all lowered their heads in shame, not daring to answer.

Su Wu knew that they also lacked practical experience and were somewhat flustered.

Otherwise, how could he possibly use a loss of tens of millions to teach them a lesson?

Li Xiang finally mustered up his courage and said, "Master, we need time to investigate the intrusion line, so how about we cut off the power as soon as possible?"

Power outage?

If the power goes out, Ruyang Group will suffer losses of at least several hundred million yuan.

This is one of the major drawbacks of the cloud service system, which brings endless convenience: once the network has problems, the losses can be significant.

Su Wu shook his head slightly, smiled, and walked to the control panel.

"Remember the cellular maze theory I mentioned to you? It's the best way to analyze viruses and block data intrusions, but it does consume a lot of server resources."

As he spoke, he moved the mouse over an icon that looked like a clown's smiley face and clicked it lightly.

In an instant, a very cartoonish pixelated image appeared on the screen.

The scene shows three worms struggling to dig forward through a complex underground tunnel.

"But do you think I'm lacking that little bit of server space right now?"

Su Wu stood up confidently and patted Li Xiang on the shoulder.

Li Xiang stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

"Master, could it be that you already...?"
