Chapter 473 Closing the Net
The bodyguard who was tracking Zhang Yongwei sent a message to Xing Baohua, saying that he had bought a ticket to cross the sea and was going to the casino.
Xing Baohua gave a reply: "Follow it to the end."
We're not going to do anything about him for now, because he's right under our noses, and we're afraid of alerting him.
Unable to resolve the issue of the mole within the company, Xing Baohua was indeed feeling uneasy, unable to eat or sleep properly. He couldn't act freely in many matters and had to be extremely cautious in everything he did, which was even more unbearable than being a thief.
He knew this was a thorn in his side, and he had to get over it before he could feel at ease.
I glanced at my watch; it was already early.
With the clues in hand, all that was left was to wait for the report. After settling things here, Xing Baohua went to pick up Su Ya and make sure she was settled in, before returning to Haina's office.
Xing Baohua came here to handle the dirty work, and these kinds of things shouldn't be shown to the trainees and employees from his hometown.
Although there may be some dishonorable aspects to starting a business, there is no need to be overly ostentatious.
Xing Baohua is now particularly concerned about Lin Jianye's line.
We should receive the news in three or four hours.
Geng Rui didn't have any work tonight and rode back to the dormitory with three other students. To save on living expenses, they usually cooked for themselves.
After finishing her meal, Geng Rui checked the time and told her roommate that she needed to go out for a bit.
My roommate nodded as if he knew what was going on, and reminded me to be careful.
Geng Rui took a minibus to a tourist spot by the sea and sat down on a bench opposite a landmark building.
It's like they're waiting for someone.
Actually, it didn't take long before a middle-aged man walked up and sat down next to her. He glanced at Geng Rui and said, "Sorry, there was a bit of traffic on the way. How have you been these past few days?"
“It’s alright. We’re here early so we can enjoy the scenery a little longer. If we’re not used to living in Hong Kong, where will we ever get used to it? You know what? This noon, Leader Xing raised our food allowance to HK$150 a day. I was even thinking of asking him to give us the cash so we could cook for ourselves,” Geng Rui said with a light smile.
Even if he treats you to the finest delicacies, you shouldn't even think about exchanging them for cash. What have you been busy with today? What have you learned?
Geng Rui thought for a moment, then organized her thoughts and said, "Today we'll mainly learn about wireless device tracking, which means that a mobile phone can obtain data from the host computer in the server room and calculate the radius distance."
"Didn't he say the location system wasn't out yet? How did he calculate the location?"
"It's a bit complicated. We calculate the radius distance by the distance between the signal towers. There's a refractive index involved. We narrow down the range to a certain extent and then extrapolate to get a rough location."
"Not very accurate, but it still works?"
Geng Rui nodded and replied, "Yes."
"How did he investigate the cyberattack and theft at the University of Hong Kong?" the visitor asked with concern.
“I didn’t see the specifics of the operation, but he did it, and I also saw someone impersonating a staff member and hacking into his switchboard room. J went there, seemingly looking for someone. I overheard all of this during his call.”
"Have they caught him?"
"It seems so. I also heard him on the phone arranging for people to go to Greater Paris to track down someone, and he called to tell the plane to wait for his people to board." Geng Rui recounted all the information she could hear today to this mysterious contact.
"what else?"
"There was another important matter, but in Xing's view it was not a big deal. His ultimate destination in investigating the intrusion into HKU's information was the US Department of Defense. After that, there was no further action. I tried to subtly probe him, and he only said that the US Department of Defense server was like a fortified city."
"This is getting interesting. Is he scared?"
“No, it’s like there’s no need for him to go. I even told him a story, and he just smiled and understood,” Geng Rui said.
"We will also be building a network information system in the future, and you should know how important it is to defend this information system. If the enemy breaks through our information network, it will be better than sending a thousand spies."
Geng Rui glanced at the other party and said, "Leader Xing said that the passwords for the US defense servers are all between 16 and 32 characters long. He said that cracking this password would require the assistance of more than a hundred Galaxy Supercomputers, and even that might not be enough. Moreover, it would require access to the other party's server to complete the task."
I thought to myself, since he knows this, why not have him design a custom server for me?
The other party shook his head slightly and said, "He uses IBM servers. Even he can't build servers, so how dare he use them recklessly? Headquarters has already commissioned the research institute to develop them."
“But we can’t produce advanced chips; we still have to rely on imports for key components,” Geng Rui said with some concern.
"Xing Baohua traded a few lithography machines for an airport, and we can produce the best chips. Of course, I shouldn't have said this to you, but just know that Xing Baohua is currently the only company in our country that openly communicates with the outside world. If we have too many connections with him, it won't benefit him, and we will lose our channels to the outside world."
"So, we'll continue to cooperate with him and not need to help him?" Geng Rui asked.
"No need for now. Focus on your own business. He should be able to handle this situation. If he really can't, then we can step in to help him. It's getting late, you should go home and get some rest."
Xing Baohua waited in his office until 1 a.m. before receiving a call from Paris Saint-Germain, where Zhao Shanhai personally led the team there.
They also made contact with Xing Baohua's people and followed him all the way to the hotel where Lin Jianye was staying.
The call was to ask Xing Baohua if he had any other instructions before taking action.
"Bring back all the mobile devices he has with him, including his phone, and preferably a laptop or tablet," Xing Baohua instructed again.
