"The Xie family's inherent sensitivity... it's not caution, nor is it carefulness, it's just sensitivity. They have an almost 100% prediction of potential dangers, and it's precisely because of this that so many people dislike them."
Bubble picked up a slice of apple from somewhere, took a small bite, and chewed expressionlessly: "Is it because this woman possesses a great terror that she went to such lengths to build such a massive underground warehouse just to keep this secret? Well... in a sense, your father's intuition is correct. If this secret is well protected, it can save the Xie family's life in times of crisis."
"You! Why do you sound so disgusted with the Xie family?"
Xie Linlin's beautiful eyes widened. "You're a hater, aren't you?"
When they first met Bubble, she seemed to have a deep-seated grudge against the Xie family. What exactly did the Xie family do to her?
What's with all this talk about sensitivity...
Xie Linlin herself is a member of the Xie family, how could she not know that members of the Xie family are all sensitive?
Is it very sensitive?
Xie Linlin felt that she was not sensitive at all.
Not at all!
"It's not that I hate you, I'm just telling the truth."
Bubble glanced at Xie Linlin and said, "Your reaction just proves I'm right."
I was struck by a single sentence, and then subconsciously started to delve into the meaning behind the other person's words, filling in various interpretations in my mind...
Sigh, I'm really sensitive.
"Is...really? Hahaha, just kidding."
Xie Linlin blinked. She wasn't stupid; she understood Bubble's meaning almost instantly. She scratched her head and tried to brush it off with a laugh: "By the way, you haven't told me yet. What have you found out? I'm so curious."
"The important matter is still at hand, so please speak quickly."
Xie Linlin tightened her face, as if she had been serious from beginning to end.
"You really are... kind of cute."
Bubble struggled for a long time before finding a less aggressive word. How could this person change their expression so quickly?
Are you studying Sichuan Opera?
"Never mind... Ever since the computer room moved here and the computing power has increased, I've been looking for information about this woman, but it's strange... It's as if this woman has never existed in this world. There's very little information about her online."
“You know, in today’s society, there are no secrets on the internet. As long as a person exists, there will definitely be traces left behind. If there are traces, they can be found. This woman is clearly not an ordinary person. Her various characteristics mean that as long as she appears, she will definitely leave a considerable trace.”
"That was my initial thought, and now I realize how naive I was."
Bubble rubbed her temples, her cute little face full of fatigue. Her bright green twin ponytails looked rather dull at this moment. Perhaps it was Xie Linlin's imagination, but the fatigue on Bubble's face was quite real.
It was at this moment that Xie Linlin noticed the two huge dark circles under Bubble's eyes.
I didn't look closely before, but now that I've changed positions, I can clearly see Bubble's face. It seems that, just as she said, she hasn't rested at all these past few days.
"I can't find it... It's ridiculous, the culprit who caused the downfall of the Zhao family, a super family, has no information about her on the internet, not even proof that she ever existed. Everything has been wiped clean. This strange situation can't be normal. There must be someone I don't know who wiped her information."
"This kind of approach is exactly the same as the one I investigated when I was investigating Xia Che. It's just that Xia Che's life has too many traces, and even if the other party tries to cover it up, they can't get rid of it completely."
"So I deduce that the person who wiped away all traces of this woman's existence must be a hacker whose skills are no less than mine, and... this woman definitely doesn't live in the city. She is likely living in seclusion somewhere in the world. Only in this way can she leave no trace. With the addition of this hacker's skills, I was able to find no trace of her."
Bubble gently placed the cup on the table, then picked up a tablet from beside her, turned it on, and casually operated it a few times. She then waved it at Xie Linlin and said, "Look, this is the only valuable clue I've obtained in the past few days using the computing power of the server room."
"What is that?"
Xie Linlin took the tablet, but her mind wasn't on it.
Her mind was filled with what Bubble had just said.
—A hacker no less capable than her wiped away the evidence of this woman's existence behind the scenes?
In this world...
Are there people whose skills are on par with Bubble's?
This is far too shocking.
As the current head of the Xie family, Xie Linlin knows how amazing Paopao's skills are. She originally thought Paopao was already the most powerful hacker in the world, but now it seems... if there really is a hacker who can rival her, then Paopao's title of "most powerful hacker in the world" should be followed by "one of".
"You'll see when you see it."
Bubble still felt a little sleepy and wanted to have some more coffee to perk herself up, but the cup was already empty, so she turned around to get another cup.
A cup of coffee... wasn't enough to rouse her right now.
Looking at the bubbles being made by drinking coffee like water, Xie Linlin secretly clicked her tongue in amazement, thinking that the hacker industry was still a bit too frivolous. Who drinks coffee like that?
If you're sleepy, just go to sleep...
After thinking it over, Xie Linlin decided to drop the idea of persuading the other person to go to sleep. A hacker of Bubble's caliber could rest whenever she wanted, and no one could stop her. It seemed that she really found investigating this woman very interesting.
Putting those thoughts aside, Xie Linlin looked down at the tablet.
There was only a name, a few numbers that looked like ages, and some scribbles and corrections.
[Su Miaorou.]
[22? 24? 30?]
“Su Miaorou…”
Xie Linlin murmured softly, thinking that the name was really nice to hear, and it didn't sound like a name that modern people would choose. It would be about five hundred years ago.
As for the strings of numbers below, Xie Linlin really couldn't understand them, so she simply stopped worrying about it, looked up at Bubble and asked, "Is Su Miaorou her name?"
"Um."
Bubble filled the coffee cup, held it with both hands, took a small sip, then looked up and closed his eyes, seemingly waiting for the coffee's stimulating effect to take effect: "The other party is also a master. With this computing power, I can only get a name for now. Even if it's not this woman's real name, it's at least a name she used recently."
"Then what do these numbers mean?"
Xie Linlin frowned; she really couldn't understand it.
