Chapter 40

Ten minutes later, Yao Yingmo appeared in the Xinren Studio. It was rare for her to go out without makeup, and her clothes were simpler than ever before.

The long hair that was casually clipped with a shark clip was blown messy by the wind on the road. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Yao Yingmo was in a hurry when he arrived.

What is even more surprising is that she has Zhou Yu by her side.

He lowered his head, his bangs were wet with sweat and stuck to his forehead in clumps, and his black pupils were hidden behind his hair.

He was carrying a black laptop backpack, holding the shoulder straps tightly with both hands, hiding behind Yao Yingmo, with only half of his figure visible.

Seeing the two of them appear together, Shi Xuze was stunned for a full half minute.

Everyone in the office also expressed varying degrees of confusion. They looked at each other, shook their heads, and whispered in low voices.

Only Luo Jiayou remembered something and nudged Shi Xuze with his elbow, his tone somewhat gloating, "Is this the male college student you mentioned earlier?"

Shi Xuze glared at him sideways.

What does "that male college student" mean?

Luo Jiayou clearly knew that Zhou Yu was Yao Yingmo's younger brother, but he still deliberately mentioned the male college student. Looking at the eyes of the other people around him, they all felt a little sympathy for him.

To prevent everyone from continuing to think freely and diverge, and from coming up with some outrageous guesses, Shi Xuze quickly stepped forward to greet the two of them: "Teacher Zhaohe, Xiaoyu is here too?"

Facing Shi Xuze, Zhou Yu stood out from behind Yao Yingmo and said with a grin, "Don't call me Xiaoyu."

Shi Xuze was already used to Zhou Yu's aggressive attitude towards him. He skillfully ignored Zhou Yu's protests and turned around to introduce himself to everyone.

"Let me introduce this to you all. This is Mr. Zhao He's younger brother, Zhou Yu. He's a sophomore this year and quite shy. So, please behave yourself and don't scare him."

No one present could fail to notice that Zhou Yu was shy, and no one except Shi Xuze would take the initiative to provoke him.

Shi Xuze, as the most "enthusiastic" person, turned around and gave everyone instructions, which seemed very funny.

Some people even immediately retorted, "You are the only one who can scare people the most, Teacher Hu Guang."

Shi Xuze's gaze quickly swept over the person who spoke. Just as he was about to say something, a soft hand pressed down on his shoulder, and he immediately fell silent.

Yao Yingmo: "This is urgent, stop talking nonsense."

It was already so late, and these people still had the mind to joke around. Yao Yingmo suddenly felt deeply regretful for rushing out the door without washing up.

She looked at Shi Xuze with mixed feelings, withdrew her hand, and walked in with Zhou Yu, finding a desk with fewer things next to Sister Chang.

"Can you lend me a table and a power supply?"

Yao Yingmo said this while looking at Sister Chang, who gestured, "Please."

Yao Ying nodded, "Xiao Yu, I leave it to you."

Zhou Yu stepped forward, took out a laptop from his schoolbag, quickly connected the cables, then stood up and stood next to the computer, displaying the screen in front of everyone.

His screen was full of codes, and people who came too quickly, such as Shi Xuze, Luo Jiayou, etc., felt dizzy after just one look.

Receiving everyone's confused looks, Yao Yingmo coughed lightly and said, "Xiao Yu, can you explain a little bit?"

To be honest, she also felt dizzy.

If Zhou Yu hadn't explained it to her on the phone first, but had just shown her the computer screen, she probably wouldn't have understood.

Yao Yingmo observed Zhou Yu's reaction, thinking that if Zhou Yu couldn't speak, she would bite the bullet and help explain.

After Zhou Yu's eyes moved between Yao Yingmo and Shi Xuze for a few times, he took a deep breath, turned around and squatted facing the computer with his back to everyone.

After he tapped a few times on the keyboard, the code turned into a whole page of numbers with a few English letters interspersed in between.

"This is a comparison chart showing backend login data, recent call logs, and account changes for the relevant IP addresses. The backend login data shows that the person who first posted on Weibo received a payment of approximately 100,000 yuan last night. The IP address used for this transfer highly overlaps with an account on Weibo with the ID CV Yingfeng."

It was indeed against the wind.

Everyone thought the same thing.

Shi Xuze almost jumped up, but was held down by Luo Jiayou. Zhou Yu hadn't finished speaking yet.

"In the communication records, we can also see that the two people had long phone calls around the time of the transfer last night and this morning."

The scene changed and the screen was split into two. On the left was the photo that made them so angry, and on the right was another string of English and numbers.

"After analysis, we can determine from the digital data behind this photo that the photo was taken this morning."

Shi Xuze squinted his eyes and finally found a string of numbers whose meaning could be understood from the densely packed small characters that looked like reptiles. He pointed it out to Luo Jiayou. The first half of the string of numbers was exactly the year, month and day of today, and the second half must be the time.

Zhou Yu seemed to notice his actions. After clicking a few times, the mouse turned into a highlighter symbol, lighting up the string of numbers that Shi Xuze had just found.

"Yes, that's the string of numbers. The first is the date, and the second is the time. However, the time is expressed in seconds, which might be a little hard to understand. So the next line is the conversion result. The time is around 8 o'clock in the morning."

Shi Xuze smiled proudly at Luo Jiayou. He could also understand some codes.

Luo Jiayou rolled his eyes at him.

Zhou Yu switched the screen again.

This time, everyone burst into exclamations of "Oh" and "Wow" because the scenes were very familiar to everyone, especially when dubbing foreign movies, it was easier to see the scenes of countless monitors filling the screen that must appear in the legendary headquarters of hackers and spies.

In movies, these monitor images are usually switched at a high frequency, and then the operator's operation gradually reduces the number of images and narrows the scope. When there are only four monitors left, they usually find the person they are looking for.

Zhou Yu performed the exact same operation in front of them.

"I investigated the two IP addresses mentioned earlier and checked all the surveillance cameras within a ten-kilometer radius, any that had internet access. I then used this code to analyze the facial images. You can see in the upper right corner, there are three people in the picture: one posing, two holding cameras. In the lower left corner, you can see the man's face from the front."

"above."

Zhou Yu stopped, and Xiao Su quickly stuffed a glass of water into his palm.

Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment, picked up the cup and took a sip, looking very obedient, completely different from the strategic look he had when he was demonstrating his skills just now.

Sister Chang: "But we have no way of using this information. The legitimacy and legality of its acquisition will be questioned."

Shi Xuze widened his eyes, and Yao Yingmo gave him a look, signaling him to be patient.

Zhou Yu put down the water cup and switched the screen to another document. "I'm prepared."

"First, let's talk about these four stores. The surveillance cameras they installed at the store entrances captured the filming scene. Those are the four images I just showed you. However, these surveillance cameras have limited storage capacity. You need to contact the stores as soon as possible to retrieve the files, otherwise they will be overwritten and there will be nothing you can do."

He scrolled down the document.

"Next, these are the dumber ones among the other party's online troll army. Their accounts can directly reveal personal contact information. If you have the time and patience to scroll down, you can find it too. As long as you contact them, you should be able to get them to tell the truth."

The document goes down again.

"You're lucky... or maybe the other party wasn't smart enough. He wanted to find a real Weibo account to post on to make his lie more believable, so he found a real person. But if you're a little patient and scroll to the top of this girl's Weibo, you can find the university she currently attends. Knowing the school, it's theoretically not difficult to find her in person. You should be able to handle any subsequent issues on your own."

Zhou Yu pulled out a USB flash drive from his pocket and threw it to Shi Xuze. "The documents are inside. You don't need to return the USB flash drive."

Shi Xuze stretched out his hands to take it, and then passed it to Sister Chang.

"Thank you." He said to Zhou Yu, "This is the first time I've heard you talk so much. Thank you."

Zhou Yu turned his head away, seemingly packing up his laptop. "It's for my sister's sake. Don't be so self-indulgent."

Yao Yingmo smiled and said, "Xiaoyu is confident in his professional field, and my Xiaoyu is kind-hearted."

Zhou Yu lowered his head and stuffed his laptop into his bag. His ears were red as if he had a fever.

Shi Xuze said it again seriously, "Thank you so much."

Zhou Yu hummed softly this time, and Shi Xuze wasn't sure if he had heard it wrong. But when he wanted to ask again, Zhou Yu glared at him fiercely.

This is the Zhou Yu he is used to.

"I'll give the information to the lawyer. I'll get a lawyer's letter out as soon as possible," Sister Chang said. "Thank you so much, Teacher Zhaohe."

Yao Yingmo waved his hand: "It's okay. After all, my book is in your hands now, and I don't want it to freeze. Besides, we are friends."

There was one more thing she didn't say.

Saving one life is saving one, saving two lives is also saving one. After saving so many lives, she felt that she was used to it.

When Shi Xuze heard Yao Yingmo say that they were friends, a big smile appeared on his face.

Yao Yingmo was caught off guard by his fiery gaze and quickly looked away, not meeting his gaze.

Shi Xuze smiled even more happily.

Luo Jiayou: "Teacher Zhaohe, to celebrate the perfect resolution of the hacking incident involving Teacher Huguang, we're planning to hold a celebration banquet tonight. Would you and your brother like to join us?"

Yao Yingmo looked at Zhou Yu, and Zhou Yu looked back at her.

Yao Yingmo knew this meant agreement, so he nodded and said, "Okay."

Luo Jiayou: "Xiao Su, please add two people to the reservation."

"No problem." Xiao Su made a phone call, "Because there are so many of us, we need to book the whole place. The hot pot restaurant said it will be in two hours."

He looked at several important people present and confirmed their attitudes one by one. If anyone was so hungry that he couldn't wait a moment, he would have to give up the hot pot plan and book another restaurant instead.

Tang Yu didn't care. "No problem. Teacher Hu Guang and I can go and finish recording all the progress we had planned for today."

Luo Jiayou: "I've also done half of it in the later stage, so I can catch up on the progress."

Seeing that Yao Yingmo didn't answer, Sister Chang took the initiative to suggest, "Teacher Zhaohe, why don't you and your brother rest in the studio?"

Zhou Yu had retreated back behind Yao Yingmo, becoming a quiet shadow. She made the decision for him and found something to do while waiting. "Okay, can you lend me a laptop? I have two hours, so I should be able to update another chapter."
