Xing Baohua said to Geng Xin, "Take the entire motherboard out."

After saying that, he followed the cable to find the router. Before he could find it, Geng Rui called him back.

When Geng Rui was disassembling the computer, she found an extra network cable.

Xing Baohua walked over and saw that the host had two network ports. He then checked the other machines and found that they all had only one network port.

In other words, that machine had an extra network card installed.

"Keep disassembling." Xing Baohua told Geng Rui to continue disassembling the machine. If there were dual network cards inside the chassis, then it wouldn't matter if the router wasn't found.

This machine has become a hot topic.

In other words, the sub-address assigned by the router will display this machine, and this machine will be used as a disguise to indirectly use this machine as a router.

However, it will no longer display sub-addresses, making it easy to fool IP scanning software.

After Geng Rui opened the computer case, Xing Baohua took a closer look and, sure enough, there was an extra network card on the motherboard.

That makes things easier; we can just have someone follow the line to find the equipment.

The guards who came with them helped to find the line. Geng Rui asked Xing Baohua, "Mr. Xing, the teaching building has a power outage at night, so how come he posts in the middle of the night? I remember that once the IP address here was displayed in the middle of the night."

"There are two possibilities: after the person leaves, he sneaks in, turns on the power, and puts the machine into a sleep-like state. It doesn't matter if the computer isn't running; what he wants is for the machine to be able to run the network card after being powered on."

Another type involves powering on the main unit while the monitor remains off, allowing it to run background processes elsewhere, yet still enabling internet access.

"He did this, and felt, and..."

"With what?"

"It's like taking off your pants to fart. If it's wireless, it'll take us a little more effort, but if it's wired, we can just follow the wire and find it, right?"

Xing Baohua nodded. At this moment, the guards had slowly found the base of the wall by following the metal junction box on the ground, and then followed the base of the wall to find the outside. They then saw a hole in the wall next to the base box, leading to the outside.

The wires are cleverly concealed by using junction boxes.

This time we'll have to find the cable outside the building.

After Geng Rui finishes disassembling the motherboard, some information needs to be taken back for analysis. Of course, she will have to return these things later tonight.

The group left the computer room and closed the heavy iron door behind them.

After taking only a few steps, the guard following him said, "Boss, someone went over to turn on the power switch."

"Let's follow him and see where we go later." He glanced at the time again; it was only a little past nine. It seemed there were students who wanted to study on their own.

As soon as he finished speaking and stepped out of the building, the guard said, "They're coming this way."

Xing Baohua waved his hand and quickly hid by the building, walking inside.

Fortunately, the computer room was on the first floor. Xing Baohua and the others originally wanted to find a network cable there, but after a while, they saw flashlights shining in the classroom.

Xing Baohua was near the window; luckily, he was tall enough that he didn't have to stand on tiptoe to look inside.

Then they saw a dark figure approach the spot where they were disassembling the computer and try to turn it on.

As a result, I kept pressing buttons, checking the computer's cables, and turning on the monitor. Once I saw that the monitor was working properly, I turned on the computer itself.

Since I didn't have a screwdriver on hand, I didn't know what was wrong with the computer case.

Perhaps they thought a sudden power outage would give their computer a shock, causing it to malfunction or something.

The man walked away cursing.

Xing Baohua said to the guard, "Call someone and take this man back."

Xiao Tian asked Xing Baohua, "Should we go back, or continue looking for the internet cable?"

"Keep following the internet connection; the truth should come out soon," Xing Baohua said.

At this moment, only Geng Rui and Xiao Tian were left by Xing Baohua's side, so it was up to him to find the work on the other end of the network cable.

Bending over, he slowly moved forward, one hand holding the network cable. Xing Baohua estimated the distance to be about seventy meters. This guy must be really rich; network cables aren't cheap! If it were any further, he'd need to add something like an amplifier.

The farther the distance, the weaker the signal, affecting speed. Of course, in this day and age, even if you extend the distance by a kilometer, the network speed will be mediocre, only increasing the packet loss rate.

After going around in a circle for about 100 meters, there is a row of houses, and the other end is also here.

These small, makeshift sheds serve as storage rooms for cleaning tools on campus.

Prevent hand-pushed garbage carts, brooms, shovels, and similar items from being used.

The three of them looked at each other. There was no lock-picking guard nearby, and Xing Baohua didn't have a walkie-talkie with him, so he had to use a telephone to call the people who came in.

Just as Xing Baohua was about to call a guard who knew how to pick locks, Xiao Tian found a small stone and started banging on the padlock on the door.

The noise was loud at night, and Xing Baohua was afraid of attracting attention.

The lock was pried open in no time, and once the door was opened, all that was inside, besides some miscellaneous items, was a laptop.

Without saying a word, Xing Baohua reached out, took the laptop, unplugged the extra cables, and turned to leave.

Sure enough, the banging attracted the night patrol team to the campus. From a distance, they could be seen shining flashlights around in the darkness.

They even shone the light on Xing Baohua.

They retraced their steps and started walking out. Just as they reached the entrance of the teaching building, the guard from before ran back, panting, and told Xing Baohua that the person had been caught and thrown into the car.

"Take them to the safe house." After saying that, Xing Baohua led the group out of the school.

The car that followed Xing Baohua into the campus quickly drove away.

It was difficult to get in, but easy to get out. Xing Baohua, Geng Rui, Xiao Tian, ​​and the other two walked out.

As soon as I stepped out of the school gate, I saw a supercar parked not far away. A very attractive girl got out of the car.
