Chapter 309 Under Attack
When Huo Juncheng saw the name on the caller screen, he realized that the situation was not good. He glanced at Lin Yilan to make sure she was not paying attention to him before he got up and walked to the balcony to answer the phone.
"Hello." Huo Juncheng's voice was very low, not wanting Lin Yilan to hear it.
The call came from the old lady's housekeeper, who lived abroad. Her voice was tense, but she delivered the news quickly and efficiently: "The old lady suddenly collapsed while abroad. Her condition is very serious and she needs to be urgently sent back to China for heart surgery. She's on a plane and will be arriving soon. Young Master, please come and meet her at the airport."
Huo Juncheng frowned. He didn't expect such an emergency to happen at this time. Such a thing has never happened since the old lady passed away. And as the eldest grandson, he couldn't ignore it after the old lady fell ill.
After Huo Juncheng explained some matters to the housekeeper, he promised to go to the airport to pick him up.
Coming in from the balcony, Lin Yilan looked up at Huo Juncheng, stood up and looked around at the packed luggage. She felt a little excited and showed off her achievements to Huo Juncheng.
"Look, I've packed everything. Let's go now, or we'll be in trouble if we miss our flight."
Huo Juncheng stood still, distracted and thinking about other things.
Lin Yilan realized that something must have happened. When Huo Juncheng went out to answer the phone, she noticed that his back became obviously tense. She asked, "What happened?"
Half an hour later, Huo Juncheng took Lin Yilan to the airport to pick up the old lady. As soon as the old lady got off the plane, she was surrounded by doctors in several ambulances. After the doctors checked the situation and confirmed that there was no problem, they sent the old lady to the ambulance. Huo Juncheng drove Lin Yilan and followed the ambulance to the hospital.
Everyone in the Huo family gradually arrived. Huo Juncheng, the eldest grandson with the greatest power in the Huo family, sat outside the operating room with Lin Yilan, waiting. Before the operation began, the surgeon explained the situation to Huo Juncheng: "Old Mrs. Huo's heart is severely enlarged. This operation is very risky, and given her advanced age, the chances of success are very low."
Before Huo Juncheng could say anything, Lin Yilan's eyes were already red with worry. In a panic, she rushed forward and grabbed the doctor's collar and shouted, "No, you must save him!"
The surgeon was frightened by the woman's powerful aura and was trembling and dared not speak. Huo Juncheng pulled Lin Yilan aside. At this time, the door of the operating room opened, and Mrs. Huo, who was supposed to be waiting for surgery inside, was suddenly pushed out.
Seeing the old lady's pale face and haggard appearance, Lin Yilan walked forward distressedly. The old lady called her weakly and slowly said her last wish: "I want to hear you sing a piece of opera before the operation, is that okay?"
Lin Yilan couldn't bear to refuse, and Huo Juncheng quickly asked people to prepare the costumes. However, the old lady stopped these preparations, saying that it would delay too much time. She knew that she didn't have much time left, and before that, she just wanted to watch Lin Yilan sing, even if she was just singing in casual clothes.
Lin Yilan wiped her tears and did as she was told. She sang the opera that the old lady loved to listen to the most at the door of the operating room. There was sob in her clear voice, but the old lady was still moved and cried unconsciously when she recalled many things.
Lin Yilan also started crying, but she still insisted on singing the whole play. After the curtain fell, the doctor pushed the old lady in to start the operation. Lin Yilan was exhausted and almost fainted from crying. Huo Juncheng hugged her in his arms and patted her shoulders to comfort her. Seeing how hard she was trying, he liked her even more.
"It's okay. The old lady is blessed with a long life. Nothing will happen to her. Don't worry. The old lady still wants to hear you sing another Huangmei Opera."
Lin Yilan knew that Huo Juncheng was comforting her, and she cried even more sadly.
At this time, a nurse came over and reminded them: "Mr. Huo, Mrs. Huo, please follow me to the VIP room to wait for the surgery to be completed."
Seeing Lin Yilan so sad, the nurse mentioned what the old lady insisted on doing after entering the operating room: "After entering the operating room, the old lady insisted on coming out to hear you sing another Huangmei Opera. I think even if it was just to hear your voice one more time, the old lady would definitely come out of the operating room in good condition. Mr. Huo, Mrs. Huo, please rest assured, our doctors will do our best to treat the old lady."
Huo Juncheng continued to comfort her: "It's okay, the old lady will definitely come out well. She will work hard to live for you and the Huo family."
Lin Yilan still refused to listen to the advice and continued crying.
Huo Juncheng held her in his arms and waited in the VIP room. Bodyguards Gao Long and Gao Hu were guarding the door of the VIP waiting room, keeping an eye on their safety at all times.
At this tense moment, bigger troubles came quietly. Huo Juncheng's mobile phone suddenly reminded him that a message had been received. Huo Juncheng looked down and saw that it was a message with no beginning or end sent from an anonymous number.
"The game begins."
Huo Juncheng frowned, pondering the meaning of this. Suddenly, the phone rang, waking up Lin Yilan, who had finally closed her eyes and fallen asleep after crying herself tired. Lin Yilan rubbed her eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"
Huo Juncheng picked up the phone. The anxious voice of his assistant, who had stayed behind to handle some matters, was heard. "Mr. Huo, the entire company network has been hacked, information has been leaked, and all of our customer lists have been stolen. The Internet department is urgently trying to restore the network, but they're still too organized..."
Huo Juncheng frowned, finally understanding the meaning of the text message.
Lin Yilan also heard this conversation and sat up immediately. Seeing Huo Juncheng's worried look, she was very worried. Now it was her turn to comfort him: "Don't worry, things will be handled. Since it's a hacker attack, there must be a reason. For now..."
"I will take care of this matter. You don't need to worry about the company's affairs. Just sit down and the people from the company will give me an answer." Huo Juncheng didn't want Lin Yilan to get involved. After asking Lin Yilan to sit down, he stood up and walked out the door and called his assistant back.
At this time, the entire city underwent earth-shaking changes in just ten minutes. The Huo family's corporate network was hacked and customer information was leaked to the Internet, which caused quite a stir on the Internet. What Huo Juncheng had to face next was the accountability of all companies that cooperated with the Huo Group.
"What's going on? Why did you let hackers get in so easily? Our information has been leaked, causing us a lot of trouble. How do you solve this problem?"
"It seems that the Huo Group's confidentiality work is really not up to par. Whether we can cooperate in the future has become an unknown. Regarding the contract we agreed on last time, let's reconsider it."
The assistant's phone was ringing non-stop. When he finally caught his breath, he found that Huo Juncheng had made three missed calls. The assistant quickly called back, fearing that if he was a little late, the phone would be ringing again.
