This time, Zhu Jianrui smashed not only the mouse but also the keyboard. When he raised the computer and prepared to smash it again, the chubby boy quickly hugged his arm: "Zhu Jianrui, what are you doing! This computer was just bought for me by my dad. It has the highest specifications and cost hundreds of thousands of yuan!"
Zhu Jianrui froze. Although he couldn't see his utterly miserable appearance through the window, he could hear his heavy breathing. He was furious, almost exasperated, but he wasn't yet the young master of the Gong family. A hundred thousand was still an astronomical sum for him.
He finally put the computer back, stared at the nonchalant man in the window with bloodshot eyes, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Were you the one playing offense and defense with me just now?"
Zhuang Li didn't answer, but just tapped on the keyboard.
As he moved, the central control device on the computer desk asked in a sweet voice: "What do you think?"
Without needing any response, Zhu Jianrui understood that the person who had just completely defeated him and humiliated him was none other than Zhuang Li. But how could it be possible! He was just a completely useless man, earning a meager salary of ten thousand yuan a month. How could he possibly possess such advanced hacking skills?
"I don't believe it! You can't be that powerful!" He roared in helplessness and rage.
Zhuang Li smiled as he tapped away on the keyboard. The central control device answered for him, "Do you know me? Do you know what the real Zhuang Li is like?"
Zhu Jianrui was stunned by the question. After living under the same roof for over a decade, his understanding of this man was limited to a brief encounter on his way to and from work, his nagging when he asked for money, and his honest smile. Everything else was a blur.
He opened his mouth but couldn't answer.
The central control device said in a cold, mechanical voice: "Wait at home, the police will be here soon."
Zhuang Li turned around in the window and said to the department head, "Humanity itself is the most vulnerable defense. No matter how strong the firewall I designed is, it can't prevent operational errors by internal personnel. So next time this happens, remember not to open the firewall to anyone."
The department manager nodded repeatedly and said, "Brother Zhuang, I've got this. Hackers' methods are truly hard to guard against! Thank goodness you're here today, otherwise our company would have suffered a huge loss."
It was not until now that he truly understood what kind of organization the cybersecurity department was and the heavy responsibilities it shouldered.
The colleagues who surrounded Zhuang Li applauded enthusiastically. The saying "masters are found among the common people" was absolutely true! Who could have imagined that the usually honest Zhuang Li could be such a formidable hacker?
The intern muttered, "It's unbelievable that such a talented hacker like Zhuang has been sitting on the bench at your company for eight years."
The mean man stopped being mean this time and actually nodded in agreement: "MIK's cybersecurity department is just a decoration. Eighty to ninety percent of the people hired are relatives. An honest man like Zhuang Ge won't be able to get ahead."
As he spoke, Zhuang Li had already stood up and slowly put on his suit jacket. He then carefully adjusted his tie and a strand of curly hair at his forehead while facing the window. As for Zhu Jianrui, who was roaring frantically on the other side of the window, not a single glimpse of him caught his eye.
"You can't be that powerful! You coward! If you're brave enough, let's fight again! Zhuang Li, Zhuang Li, say something! Damn bastard!" Zhu Jianrui was so angry that he cursed out all the dirty words he could.
The chubby boy was frightened by him and whispered, "How can you scold your father like that! If my father was that powerful, I would wake up laughing in my sleep!" After a crushing confrontation, Zhuang Li replaced Zhu Jianrui as his new idol.
Seeing Zhu Jianrui with a distorted face, resentful eyes and violent behavior, the department manager frowned in disgust and opened his mouth to say something several times but swallowed it back.
The mean man spoke frankly: "Brother Zhuang, your son is a jerk! Remember to beat him up when you get home!"
Zhuang Li said nonchalantly, "I'm not qualified to beat him up. Let society handle this. The police should be here soon. Let's go."
As soon as he finished speaking, several policemen knocked on the glass wall. The office door was locked, and they couldn't get in. Many colleagues who were watching the excitement were standing behind the police, looking at Zhuang Li with curiosity.
The department head hurried to open the door.
In the window, several police officers also rushed into the chubby boy's home, showing their credentials and arresting the two men. This was undoubtedly Zhuang Li's doing. The son wasn't his, and the disaster wasn't his fault; he couldn't bear the blame.
The police car raced away, and 7480's ambition seemed to shatter at the same moment. It had originally thought Zhu Jianrui would be able to kill the host, but it hadn't expected that in just one round, this talented young man would be completely defeated!
You have to know that in the original plot, Zhu Jianrui is the biggest golden finger for Zhu Miaomiao and Gong Xuanlin, the boss behind everything. Gong Xuanlin's rise to the position of China's richest man, Gong Xuanqi, Gong Xuanlin's older brother, his rise to president, and Zhu Miaomiao's rise to a top-tier celebrity are all due to Zhu Jianrui's help.
This young boy could read at the age of one, count at the age of two, skipped grades in elementary and junior high school, and was already in the third year of high school at the age of fourteen. He played computer games all day long, but his grades were always ranked first in the grade. According to the development trajectory of the original plot, he would become the top scorer in the college entrance examination in the future, become an idol of many young people, and be recruited by the national security department because of his superb hacking skills, and then enter politics.
Because he was so successful, Mr. and Mrs. Gong, who had originally looked down on Zhu Miaomiao, had no choice but to accept this ill-fated relationship.
Gong Xuanlin's elder brother Gong Xuanqi even regarded Zhu Jianrui as his chief of staff and obeyed his instructions in everything.
After Gong Xuanlin stepped down, Zhu Jianrui was successfully elected as the President of China at the age of 25, an achievement rarely seen in the world.
Such a walking cheater, such an omnipotent god, was actually no match for Zhuang Li? 7480 grabbed his head, sinking into deep doubt and despair.
When it came to its senses, Zhu Jianrui and the chubby boy had been taken to the police station, and ran into Zhuang Li and his group at the door.
Zhuang Li just pursed his lips in an ambiguous smile, saying nothing. The department manager, however, angrily questioned him, "You're too extreme, kid! Your father worked so hard to raise you, and this is how you repay him? Casually hacking into someone else's network is illegal. Do you know how much trouble you've caused your father this time?"
"Do you know how he treats me usually? He is not worthy of being my father!" Zhu Jianrui bared his teeth viciously at Zhuang Li, his bloodshot eyes filled with hatred.
The police officers holding Zhu Jianrui looked at each other, their faces full of deep thought. A child wouldn't hate his father for no reason. Furthermore, they had learned about the child before arresting him. They knew he was an excellent student, had a good relationship with his classmates, and was a well-regarded child.
There must be some underlying reason for him to do such a thing, and his father cannot be completely exempted from responsibility.
With this in mind, the leading police officer's attitude toward Zhuang Li hardened a bit. He said unhappily, "Children make mistakes, and the primary responsibility often lies with their parents. How about this? I'll open a mediation room for you two so you can have a good talk."
He then addressed the department head, "MIK is the victim. Do you want to hold the child accountable? If you do, you can come to the mediation room and we can work out a protocol. The child is not yet an adult and will not bear legal responsibility. We will arrest someone and then release him later. You must understand this."
The department head couldn't make the decision, so he had to call his immediate superior. He hid aside, chattering away, occasionally glancing at Zhuang Li and smiling ingratiatingly.
A few minutes later, a middle-aged man with thinning hair and a round belly hurried into the police station and extended his hand with a smile. "Hello, Captain Zhao, I'm the CEO of MIK. My last name is Fang. I'm here to discuss compensation with Mr. Zhuang."
Captain Zhao of the Cyber Crime Division brought these people into the mediation room.
As soon as Mr. Fang sat down, he said generously, "I just asked the heads of various departments, and thanks to Mr. Zhuang's timely remedial measures, our company didn't suffer too much loss. But—"
He looked at Zhuang Li and suddenly changed the subject, "Our editing department lost some samples. Although we still have the originals, re-editing them will cost a lot of manpower, material, and financial resources. I just did a rough estimate, and re-editing these samples will cost our company an additional 2.88 million. I wonder how Mr. Zhuang will compensate for this loss?"
Zhuang Li curled his thin lips and smiled silently.
Mr. Fang misinterpreted his nonchalant smile as a wry one and immediately said, "Two million eight hundred and eighty thousand is a huge debt that any ordinary family cannot bear. Mr. Zhuang is a long-time MIK employee, and we can't bear to force him. How about this? I'll write off this debt and offer Mr. Zhuang an additional one million a year salary to rehire him. What do you think, Mr. Zhuang?"
The police officers initially thought they were about to witness a tragedy in which ordinary people were driven into despair by capitalists. However, they were surprised by the sudden turn of events. Not only did the capitalists not recover their losses, they also lost their annual salary of one million! Isn't this a sudden turn of events?
When Zhu Jianrui heard that Zhuang Li had to compensate MIK 2.88 million, he grinned with glee. After hearing the second half of Mr. Fang's words, his face became extremely gloomy again.
The department head's eyes flushed with envy, but he also knew that Zhuang Li's skills meant a million-dollar annual salary wasn't much. Just the improvised firewall he'd built, which even the White House was using, could completely wipe out the $2.88 million debt.
All in all, MIK made a lot of money.
Mr. Fang has shown his utmost sincerity, and he also believes that the other party will definitely accept this sincerity.
Unexpectedly, Zhuang Li simply lifted a strand of curly hair from his forehead and said nonchalantly, "You shouldn't discuss Zhu Jianrui's compensation with me. I have no obligation to do so. Wait a moment." He took out his phone and looked at it, chuckling, "Zhu Jianrui's biological father will be here soon. I also have a compensation claim to discuss with him."
This sentence stunned everyone in the mediation room.
Zhu Jianrui's eyes widened as he looked at Zhuang Li in disbelief. He had always thought Zhuang Li didn't know about Gong Xuanlin's rekindled relationship with his mother, but now it seemed that he knew everything.
Yes, he is a top hacker. If you want to know anything, just search it on the Internet.
For the first time in his life, Zhu Jianrui looked at this honest man seriously and labeled him "extremely dangerous" in his mind.
Zhuang Li, however, had no time to pay attention to him. He was just pulling out his phone and politely asking Captain Zhao, "I have a bill I need to print. Can I borrow some of your police station's equipment?"
Captain Zhao nodded blankly.
A few minutes later, Zhuang Li walked in with a two-centimeter-thick bill. He sat back down and gave Zhu Jianrui a smirk. His once honest face suddenly lost all its pretense, revealing a sinister and sinister nature.
