“The chaos needs to be real enough, but also controllable.”
Duan Shuce's voice broke the brief silence. He slid his fingers quickly on the encrypted tablet and called up the security distribution map of the third underground floor of Ning's Building.
"Ning Xiuyan must create chaos in the banquet hall, making a loud noise, but his real target is the underground laboratory and the computer room."
"We need a pair of eyes, a pair of eyes that can move unimpeded and unobtrusively amidst the chaos, monitor the real-time response of the entire security system for us, and if necessary... create a small, unexpected 'technical glitch'."
Ning Xiwan's eyes fell on the encrypted communicator, and a thought flashed through her mind.
She raised her eyes and said, "There are two candidates. They are absolutely reliable and capable enough, and...it wouldn't be too strange for them to appear anywhere in the Ning family."
Duan Shuce's eyes flickered behind his glasses: "You're talking about...son?"
Ning Xiwan nodded, a hint of warmth flashing across her eyes.
"Qingliu is a freshman, but when it comes to computer skills, ten Ning Corporation security chiefs combined wouldn't be his match. Jinyue... with her around, we'll be more protected from any 'small accidents' on the brink of chaos."
Ning Xiuyuan obviously also knew this pair of siblings who had a very "unique" reputation in the top circle.
He nodded slightly. "Ye Qingliu... the real boss of the Ye family? Although he's young, his skills... are definitely up to par. Hua Jinyue, that little devil? Are they willing to help?"
"I'll make the contact." Ning Xiwan picked up her encrypted communicator and dialed a special frequency band that was rarely used.
At the same time, at the Ye family villa.
The huge floor-to-ceiling windows offer a dazzling view of the city at night. There's no main light on in the room, only a few ambient light strips emitting a faint blue glow.
Ye Qingliu sat cross-legged in front of a massive curved screen that covered an entire wall. The screen was divided into dozens of small windows, each filled with codes and data streams that were incomprehensible to ordinary people.
His fingers flew across the mechanical keyboard so fast that they almost left afterimages.
"Brother, milk tea." A girl wearing a pink rabbit hooded sweatshirt, twin ponytails, and looking as sweet as an exquisite doll came bouncing over with two cups of milk tea and put one with a straw into his mouth.
She has curved eyes and dimples on her cheeks when she smiles, just like Hua Jinyue.
Ye Qingliu didn't even raise his head, took a big sip from his sister's hand, and said "hmm" vaguely, his gray-blue eyes still fixed on a rapidly jumping parameter on the screen.
Hua Jinyue didn't care. Holding another cup, she sat down next to her brother, swinging her legs and curiously looking at the inscrutable codes. "Whose firewall are they trying to poke at again? Who's the unlucky one this time?"
"The central bank of a small South American country has an interesting encryption algorithm."
Ye Qingliu's voice has the clear texture unique to teenagers, but the tone is not very ups and downs.
At this moment, Ye Qingliu placed an inconspicuous black square communicator at his side. The screen silently lit up a specific blue light spot and emitted an extremely slight vibration.
Ye Qingliu's fingers tapping on the keyboard suddenly stopped.
He grabbed the communicator almost immediately.
"Sister Wan." He pressed the answer button, and the clarity in his voice instantly melted away, with an undisguised intimacy, completely different from the young man who manipulated data like a god just now.
Hua Jinyue also came over immediately, her little face full of surprise: "Is it Sister Ning? Brother, turn on the hands-free!"
"Qingliu, Jinyue." Ning Xiwan's calm voice came from the other end of the communicator, and there seemed to be the low voices of Duan Shuce and Ning Xiuyuan talking in the background.
"Sister Wan, I'm here." Ye Qingliu responded in an unnaturally sweet voice.
"Good evening, sister!" Hua Jinyue greeted sweetly.
"There's something I need your help with." Ning Xiwan didn't exchange pleasantries and went straight to the point. She briefly explained the plan for the Ning family's birthday party and the roles they needed to play.
Her voice was steady, but Ye Qingliu and Hua Jinyue both keenly caught the cold storm hidden beneath the calm and a hint of rare request.
"Yeah, I see."
"To create chaos..." Hua Jinyue replied sweetly, with excitement and danger flashing in her big eyes, as if she had found a favorite toy.
"Leave it to me! I guarantee that the harassment of that 'little star' will be both realistic and spectacular, and that 'big boss's son' will be furious. And if he 'accidentally' knocks something over, causing a false fire alarm or something... well, I'll control the 'degree' so no one gets hurt."
As she spoke, her little hand produced an extremely delicate butterfly knife with a cold gleaming blade from somewhere.
"Jinyue," Ye Qingliu glanced at the knife in his sister's hand, his tone calm and with the indulgence unique to a brother.
"Put it away, don't cut your hands." There was no intention of stopping her from participating in the dangerous plan.
"I know, brother!" Hua Jinyue responded with a smile, and with a flip of his wrist, the dangerous butterfly knife disappeared in an instant, as if it had never appeared.
"Thank you." Ning Xiwan's voice came through the communicator, with a hint of imperceptible warmth.
"Shuce will send you an encrypted file with the specific details. Please be careful."
"Don't worry, Sister Wan." Ye Qingliu responded seriously.
"Come on, sister! I'm waiting for your good news!" Hua Jinyue was full of energy.
Communication ended.
Ye Qingliu put down the communicator and looked back at the huge screen in front of him with his gray-blue eyes. The data flowing in it instantly became extremely clear and aggressive.
His slender fingers tapped on the keyboard again, as fast as lightning, aiming directly at the network core of Ning Group.
