It's almost 10 p.m.
Not to mention that it's quite late now, most of the time in this Shadow Alliance group chat, not many people are active.
The group chat is usually like a stagnant pool.
After all, although everyone is a hacker, they all have their own jobs and identities in real life, and no one would chat in a group chat when they have nothing to do.
Aside from the last time the anonymous case was posted online for a few seconds, causing a stir in the group and prompting everyone to jump out and speak, that was when things started to ripple.
However, at this very moment, I received a message notification.
Upon clicking in and seeing who was speaking, everyone in the group unanimously exclaimed "Holy crap!" at the screen.
It is a hidden case.
Anonymous, who had never spoken before, started talking in the group.
The group chat exploded once again.
[Hakuoki: Holy crap, am I seeing things? Is it really the anonymous master speaking? Could it be that the master's account has been hacked?]
[Flowers Bloom in Wealth: My anonymous account was hacked? Bro, do you even know what you're saying? Only big shots get to hack other people's accounts.]
[Blooming Prosperity: Hello, Anonymous Master! I'm your little fanboy, you can call me Prosperity!]
[Big Rhino: @Anonymous, who are you investigating?]
[Big Rhino: It seems the other side is quite capable; even you couldn't find him and needed our help.]
【Blooming Prosperity: Waaah, if even the big shots can't find it, then we certainly can't either.】
Jiang Nian typed a line of text.
[Anonymous Case: The other party sent me a text message, but it was a hardened virtual number, so even if the signal system is hacked, the target cannot be tracked.]
[Anonymous: I'll provide you with some information to try. If you can track him down or find any clues, just contact me.]
[Giant Rhinoceros: Okay.]
[Flowers Bloom in Wealth and Prosperity: Okay, boss, I will definitely do my best!]
[Blooming Flowers and Wealth: But if I may ask, I have a question that has been bothering us for a long time: are you male or female, boss?]
We're all hackers, and frankly, we're all doing illegal things that violate privacy, so we generally don't reveal our real identities casually.
What's more, the case has always been shrouded in mystery.
So even if he's rich and powerful, he didn't really expect the big shot to reply to him.
But a few seconds later.
[Anonymous: Female.]
A woman?
The group of men in the group fell silent.
The phrase "flowers bloom and wealth arrives" aptly describes the collapse of faith in a short period of time.
The older brother he had admired for so long turned out to be not an older brother, but an older sister.
【Flowers Bloom in Wealth: Bro, don't lie to me... I'm very innocent.】
Jiang Nian found this wealth and status quite interesting.
He doesn't look very old, maybe around the same age as her.
Seeing someone approaching, Jiang Nian sent a voice message into her phone, "I'm not kidding you, you can still call me 'sister' from now on," and then logged off.
When Lin Ruru arrived, she saw Jiang Nian talking on her phone and asked curiously, "Nian Nian, who are you talking to?"
"Nobody." Jiang Nian casually stuffed her phone into her pocket. "Are there any drinks left? I'd like a strawberry milkshake."
“Yes,” Lin Ruru said obediently, “I know you like to drink that, so I specially asked someone to save it for you.”
However, when the two walked into the living room, they suddenly heard someone shout.
"What's going on? Look at the main group chat! Jiang Ranran's punishment has been revoked!"
What?
Upon hearing this, everyone who was eating, singing, or playing cards put down what they were doing.
They all took out their phones and opened their senior year group chat.
Only then did I realize that the school committee had issued an announcement ten minutes earlier.
[According to the school's investigation, the top-performing classes did not cheat in the initial block-stacking competition at the charity sale held on Thursday.]
The previous finding of cheating was a misunderstanding. Therefore, the school has decided to reinstate the second-place ranking of the honors class in this event and award them the prize money they deserve.
[At the same time, Jiang Ranran did not bribe any staff members to knock down the building blocks belonging to Class 36; that was the individual action of that staff member.]
Therefore, the school will also rescind the warning given to Jiang Ranran.
Upon seeing this announcement, the students of Class 36 were stunned.
What the heck is this?
Did the top-performing class not cheat in the building block competition? But didn't Jiang Ranran herself admit to cheating back then?
She also said that she did all this to secure the highest possible funding for the top-performing class, and that no one had any reason to blame her.
As for Jiang Ranran bribing staff to overturn the stack of blocks that Jiang Nian had prepared, isn't that also well-documented?
The head of the teaching department clearly stated that they found records of Jiang Ranran transferring 50,000 yuan to that person twice on that staff member's phone.
How come all of this has now become a misunderstanding, and attributed to that staff member's personal actions?
Everyone turned to look at their homeroom teacher, Zhou Sen.
"Teacher, what's going on?"
Zhou Sen couldn't understand it either.
The only thing to do was to calm the students down: "Don't worry, I'll go ask."
Zhou Sen went to ask, but the reply he received was that it was the higher-ups' order, and he shouldn't ask so many questions.
He had no idea how to respond to the children.
Although the top-performing class regained second place, it had little impact on the fact that their class was in first place.
But their class was clearly being targeted and schemed against before.
Those who did those things now face no responsibility. How does this align with the values instilled in these children by schools?
But ironically, the meaning behind that sentence left him helpless.
After all, no matter what principles are taught in books, real society has its own set of rules for operation...
Seeing that the homeroom teacher didn't say anything, everyone lost their previous happy and playful mood and felt that it was unfair.
Jiang Nian didn't know what happened, but she could guess that Jiang Sheng or Chen Fulan must have used some connections to help Jiang Ranran to achieve this result.
“It doesn’t matter,” Jiang Nian lifted her eyelids, not caring. “Even if the punishment is lifted, everyone else in the school knows the truth.”
That seems to be true.
Thinking about it this way, everyone felt much better.
*
It was late at night.
Jiang Nian returned to her room.
I checked my phone several times and found that I still hadn't received a reply to the message I sent to Si Boye an hour ago, and no one answered my phone.
This never happens normally.
Previously, whenever she sent a message to Si Boye, no matter when, Si Boye would reply to her quickly and would never miss her call.
Are you asleep?
Jiang Nian frowned slightly.
I felt inexplicably anxious.
Just as she was about to make another call, she suddenly received a call from an unknown number.
The person on the phone had lost their usual composure: "Miss, this is Lin Qian. Mr. Bo forbade me from calling you, but I feel I must..."
That vague sense of unease came true, and Jiang Nian gripped her phone tightly: "What happened to Si Boye?"
Lin Qian's voice trembled slightly: "Miss, President Bo has been shot and is currently undergoing emergency treatment in the operating room."
