Chapter 222 Lin Mengxi's Friends
However, since Lin Ruoyan reminded him, Lin Mengxi actually used some hacking methods to reversely track the real location of the young lady. It turned out that it was indeed a scientist lady at the beginning, and the chat address was in a scientific research institution, but later the IP address changed its location and also used multiple disguises, and the method was more advanced than Lin Mengxi's.
Lin Mengxi said with a sour face: "Mom, that person might have tricked me into coming here. Her Penguin number must have been taken over by someone else, and the other party is also a hacker expert."
"Then do you still want to meet?"
"I don't want to go." Lin Mengxi continued to be angry.
Lin Ruoyan asked again: "I have already signed you up for the Go competition, are you still going?"
"Can I not go?"
Lin Ruoyan shifted her focus: "When you get there, there will be all kinds of delicious food, and you'll get to meet other kids who are really good at chess. That competition is designed for children under 18. If there are enough amateur 5th dan players, the champion will be awarded an amateur 6th dan certificate. Don't you want to get promoted?"
Lin Mengxi's interest rekindled upon hearing this. Besides advancing to a higher rank, he also wanted to make some new friends. "Will they like the books I read? It's fine if they want to go. Are there any other activities besides playing chess? I'd like to exchange book lists or reading experiences with them."
Lin Ruoyan glanced at the foreign tomes her son had recently taken a fancy to, and her head ached. She said tactfully, "Since you're going to a chess competition, why don't we bring some Go books?"
"Forget it, I've memorized all the chess books at home. I'd like to take the new edition of the F language book you mailed from the F country airport. Is that okay?"
Lin Ruoyan finally gave in and bought a sturdy suitcase specifically for those heavy foreign language original books. To save her energy, she decided to take Lu Wei with her. Bringing a bodyguard with her was for her own safety, and she could also help carry the suitcase and urge her son to practice martial arts every day, killing two birds with one stone.
When they arrived in Yicheng, they stayed at the Lin family's newly opened hotel in the urban complex in the old city.
After Lin Ruoyan checked in and settled in, Lu Wei found a time to report privately, saying that they were being followed after they came out of Yicheng Airport, and those who were following them followed them all the way to the hotel.
Lin Ruoyan was surprised: "Who are they? We haven't done anything strange in China. Could they be the paparazzi?"
The last time Lin Ruoyan ran into Wei Xu in Yicheng, their rooms were next to each other, a fabrication that had been fabricated by tabloid reporters as gossip. This time, Lin Ruoyan specifically confirmed that Wei Xu was not scheduled for the opening ceremony; he was filming the movie "Ambush" and was not in Yicheng.
Yicheng was hosting the National Children's Go Tournament, and the opening and closing acts were all child stars or younger, emerging-generation groups. Lin Ruoyan hadn't had much contact with the newly promoted young men and women from Old Dai. The paparazzi probably wouldn't be interested in her.
Although people from all over the country who came to participate in the competition had gradually checked into the hotel, they were not staying on her floor. This was her privilege as the owner, and she had specifically requested a floor for herself, her child, and Lu Wei to stay there, undisturbed by other guests, for privacy and quiet.
If any guest at the hotel asks why a certain floor cannot be stayed, the hotel will uniformly reply that there is a problem with the guest room equipment on that floor and it is under inspection and maintenance. Anyway, most people will not know that Lin Ruoyan has booked an entire floor, and this arrangement also seems more low-key.
Although her hotel was rated as a four-star hotel, it actually had near-five-star hardware and management. The elevator control was floor-by-floor, and without her room card, she couldn't access that floor.
To use the fire escape stairs, you also need a staff access card. The time of entry and exit, as well as the duration of stay, is monitored and traceable. If an employee loses their card, they will be disciplined. The hotel maintains a strict management system.
However, Lu Wei warned: "If the government's security department is targeting you, all conventional controls will be basically useless."
Lin Ruoyan and Lu Wei talked about the whole story of Lin Mengxi's meeting with the young lady from the research institute. Lu Wei's judgment was that they would most likely be listed as key control targets by the security department.
Lin Ruoyan said, "They should have checked my identity and this hotel. Do they think it was me who contacted the young lady?"
Lu Wei sighed, "Mengxi is just a child after all. People will probably suspect that there's something wrong with you, Mr. Lin. You've also been traveling abroad so many places recently, which is actually a bit suspicious."
As they were talking, someone rang the doorbell outside the guest room.
Lin Ruoyan lived in a large family suite with two bedrooms. She and her son lived in one room, and Lu Wei lived in the other. There was also a living room with a group of sofas for meeting guests and dining in the room.
While the two of them were chatting, Lin Mengxi was in the bedroom reading a book. He hadn't touched the computer recently, and he didn't turn on the computer or connect to the Internet. I don't know what he was secretly doing.
He faintly heard a knock on the door, put down his book, tiptoed to the bedroom door, and tried to secretly see who was coming. He seemed to realize that something was wrong.
The guests had just checked in, and it wasn't bedtime, so room service wasn't a surprise. Although Lin Ruoyan thought so, she still said softly, "Xiao Lu, I didn't order food or anything else to be sent up."
Lu Wei nodded and peeked through the peephole. She saw the man wearing the hotel's work clothes, pushing a food cart with his head down. Puzzled, she asked, "What's going on?"
The "waiter" replied, "The duty manager has instructed that every guest staying with children be given a fruit dessert and a small gift."
Lu Wei wondered why the voice and appearance of the person outside the door sounded so familiar. She frowned and gestured to Lin Ruoyan to go back to her room before opening the door.
As soon as Lin Ruoyan opened her bedroom door, she found her son eavesdropping at the door. She quickly locked the bedroom and pulled him away from the door. At the same time, she looked at the bathroom in the room, wondering whether she should hide in the bathroom.
Lin Mengxi comforted her, "Mom, don't be afraid, I will protect you."
Lin Ruoyan said helplessly: "Be good, be careful when making friends online in the future."
Lin Mengxi reflected on herself and said, "Mom is right. This time, everything in my computer was remotely viewed. I wonder if that's why they came here."
Lin Ruoyan asked worriedly, "What's in your computer?"
"It's just some hacker tutorials and some small projects I did in the past. There's really nothing harmful to society. I'm a serious person."
Lin Ruoyan glared at her son when she saw that he looked unhappy.
Lin Mengxi immediately confessed: "I once discovered that Uncle Hao's computer contained a lot of pictures of beautiful women in swimsuits. Uncle Hao felt very guilty and told me not to tell you. For this reason, he destroyed the pictures on the spot and subcontracted some projects to me for some pocket money."
So, is this the truth behind Hao Heshan outsourcing the project to Lin Mengxi? His son, so young, already knows how to use extraordinary means to get the project? So, what was the purpose of the person who hacked into Lin Mengxi's computer? Lin Ruoyan asked, "Is there really nothing in your computer?"
"There are a few photos I took of my mom and uncle when we were hanging out. I've transferred them all to my computer. My digital camera has limited storage space, so I need to save some for other photos."
"What else did you shoot?" Lin Ruoyan asked with a vigilant look on her face.
