Chapter 26 The Godfather Ypres
"Thank you for your kind offer, Director Song, but I'm afraid it's not possible."
Wen Ni raised an eyebrow and directly refused, "Although I am Lu Jinye's bodyguard, I have other duties and won't stay with the crew all the time. However, when I am here, I will work with the tactical instructor to oversee the actors' performance. Is that alright?"
"Yes, of course!"
Director Song was overjoyed: "Quick, quick, get a seat for Director Wen!"
"..." Chen Yingying was so jealous she was practically bursting with envy.
With a shout of "Action!", all the footage from before was reshot.
Cai Wenyou is very quick to understand; Wen Ni only demonstrated it once, and he was able to grasp it almost perfectly.
On the contrary, Lu Jinye wasn't in good form today, and he had to do several takes, which resulted in Cai Wenyou getting a big bump on his forehead from being hit by the butt of a gun...
After the final take, looking at Lu Jinye's nonchalant face, Cai Wenyou seriously suspected that he was doing it on purpose!
He didn't offend him, did he?
Such a ruthless move...?
They filmed a few more shots, and the shoot didn't officially wrap up until 1 a.m. When they finished, the director talked to Lu Jinye about something, and Wen Ni and Qin Yuan went back to the hotel first.
"The production crew rented two floors of a hotel for the actors. Master Lu is staying in a suite with three bedrooms. Xiao Wu and I will share one room, Master Lu will share another, and this room is reserved for you."
Opening the suite door, Qin Yuan pointed to the room to Wen Ni's left.
Do you have a computer?
"What are you going to do?" Qin Yuan asked, puzzled. "It's already past midnight."
"The Hacker Alliance New Year Team-Up Ranking Event starts at midnight today." Wen Ni threw herself onto the sofa.
"You're also planning to participate?"
Qin Yuan knew that the person who hacked into the group's network using the hacking mission last time was Wen Ni. He had to admit that she was really capable. However, he was a little puzzled as to why such an all-around talent was just an ordinary officer in an ordinary combat company...?
"Um."
"What's your ID name? What's your ranking? How many tasks have you completed, and how many levels have you leveled up?" Qin Yuan followed up and kept asking questions.
"You ask too many questions," Wen Ni said, annoyed by his constant chatter that gave her a headache.
"Then can you take me with you? A team needs at least four people, right? Do you have enough people?" Qin Yuan replied, "I'm a Level 4 expert now, not the highest level, but not low either, what do you think?"
Unexpectedly, Qin Yuan is also on the Hacker Alliance leaderboard.
That makes sense, though. As someone working for Lu Jinye, he has to be able to do at least a little bit of everything, if not all-around!
"Enough with the nonsense, get two computers first."
"Simple!"
Ten minutes later, all the lights in the suite's dining room were turned on, and Wen Ni and Qin Yuan sat facing each other in front of their respective laptops, logging into the official website of the Hacker Alliance.
"ID, I'll add you to the group." Wen Ni tapped the table.
"Ying Zheng, the Wild King".
Wen Ni paused in typing, "...Good name."
"Stir-fried chili with garlic? That's a pretty trendy name." Qin Yuan pointed at the newly added friend's ID on the screen, chuckled twice, then suddenly froze, realizing what she'd done. "Miss Wen, is that your ID?!"
"otherwise?"
The mastermind who took down tens of thousands of hackers and consistently ranked in the top three on the individual leaderboard is actually Wen Ni!?
"You're really good at everything, and you excel at everything! You're amazing! Our Master Lu has really struck gold!"
"Shut up."
"Okay!" Qin Yuan was extremely excited; he would be happy even if he were scolded a couple of times right now!
(4 people in the channel group chat) Wukong in a cassock, stir-fried garlic with chili peppers, Ying Zheng the Wild King, and another one... ID: Loyal to the Country.
Wukong in a Kasaya: Great God, you also invited a friend? What a coincidence! This "Loyal to the Country" is a friend I've known online for a long time, and he's very capable! He's already at the scholar level!
Stir-fried chili peppers and garlic: a quick and easy dish, ready in one hour.
Loyal to the Country: We're currently ranked over a thousandth, and it's only been an hour... How far can we catch up?
Stir-fried chili with garlic: Top 10.
Loyal to the country: !? Are you kidding me?
Wild King Ying Zheng: Chili and Garlic Stir-fry rarely jokes, because she is truly awesome.
Loyalty to the Country: She? She's actually a woman!?
Wen Ni didn't reply again. Instead, she opened a mission room, threw them all in, and forced them to start working.
The only sound in the living room was the clattering of the keyboard!
The hands of time are spinning rapidly.
3 a.m.
Qin Yuan typed the last line of code and finally exited the mission room. He looked at the mission score ranking and rubbed his eyes in disbelief!
Wukong, wearing a cassock, is online and has completed 10 tasks, earning 200 points.
Serve the country with utmost loyalty, stay online continuously, complete 20 tasks, and earn 2000 points.
Wild King Ying Zheng, online time 2 hours, completed 15 tasks, 880 points.
Stir-fried chili peppers and garlic: 1 hour online, 10 tasks completed, 10,000 points!
[A makeshift team, total points: 13080]
If we calculate based on 10 points for a basic task and 1000 points for an epic task...
Wen Ni completed ten epic-level quests in just one hour!?
If it were Qin Yuan himself, he could probably only complete one epic-level quest in an hour at most!
So this is what it feels like to be carried by a pro!
"Wen Ni! Our group has a total score of 13080, and we are currently in first place! The second place is more than 5000 points behind us!"
Qin Yuan excitedly slammed his hand on the keyboard, but Wen Ni on the other end remained completely silent.
He stood up in confusion, only to see Wen Ni fast asleep, one hand propping up her face...
His usually aloof face becomes serene and peaceful when he is asleep.
"Wen Ni..." Qin Yuan called softly.
What are you doing?
As soon as Lu Jinye entered the room, he saw Qin Yuan peeking out and staring at Wen Ni. There were two computers and several empty coffee cans on the table.
"Master Lu, Miss Wen... she was helping me with the competition, but she fell asleep."
Qin Yuan hurriedly straightened up, scratching his head somewhat awkwardly, though he himself didn't know what he was feeling awkward about.
"Huh? Nini is asleep here?" Assistant Xiao Wu lowered her voice. "I woke her up and told her to go back to her room to sleep..."
"Need not."
Lu Jinye said in a deep voice.
Then he took a step, bent down and gently picked up Wen Ni, heading straight for her bedroom.
Xiao Wu and Qin Yuan behind them were both stunned!
Is this really Lu Jinye?
Wen Ni was actually awake when she was picked up, but she felt that she shouldn't have woken up in the current situation...
Her body fell onto the soft bedding, just like the night Lu Jin fell ill.
"Go back to sleep." He knew she was awake.
"Lu Jinye".
Wen Ni turned over, but still reached out and grabbed his wrist. He hesitated for a moment before slowly sitting back down on her bedside.
"Who exactly are those people who have repeatedly chased after you?" She looked at his cold and resolute profile.
She had actually wanted to ask this for a long time, but she hadn't found the right opportunity.
“Many people want to kill me.” Lu Jinye lowered his eyelids and said slowly after a long while, “One of them is the rumored godfather of the Ipswich gang.”
Wen Ni had heard of this name before, but no one knew who he was, what his name was, or how old he was. All that was known was that he was ruthless and that his involvement in illegal and dark activities had once made the entire world tremble with fear. Later, for some unknown reason, he suddenly disappeared without a trace...
Why would he contact you?
"Because it was my grandfather and father who personally sent his parents, sisters, and brothers to the execution ground."
His voice was muffled, and his hands, resting on his knees, were clenched tightly, his knuckles white...
