Chapter 143 Investigation



"Boss Qin, you're back!"

Jiangcheng IFC, 18th floor Yaqin Network.

As soon as Qin Xuan entered the door, he was pulled into the work area by Li Hao, who looked anxious.

At this time, Zhu Sheng, Li Yunlong and others were frantically operating something on the computer.

If Qin Xuan hadn't taken the initiative to speak, they would not have noticed that the other party had arrived!

"Lao Qin, there's a big problem!"

"All Douyin-related information, including programs and source codes, disappeared. Even the backups I kept online were deleted."

"All the major shopping malls are now urging us to get our apps. If we don't submit them in time, we will definitely not be able to launch them on time tomorrow afternoon!"

Qin Xuan patted Li Yunlong on the shoulder to signal him not to get too excited, then frowned and asked, "Any ideas?"

"Did you find anything in the computer editing logs and surveillance camera footage?"

Zhu Sheng replied in a hateful tone: "None at all."

"It seems that the other party first used a Trojan horse to turn the company's computers into zombies, and then deleted all the data through remote control."

"only……"

Halfway through his words, Zhu Sheng suddenly lowered his voice.

"It's just that we have encrypted all these things, especially the backups, which are even password protected."

"So I suspect that the person who did this is most likely one of our own."

Hearing this, Qin Xuan couldn't help but fall into silence.

Today, Yaqin has become a large company with hundreds of employees.

However, no outsiders have ever joined the entire Douyin project team.

In other words, the person who deleted the data via the Trojan virus was most likely a colleague with whom he had a good relationship before.

Qin Xuan felt very uncomfortable with the feeling of being betrayed.

But no matter what, the top priority at the moment is to submit the Douyin software for review as soon as possible.

This is a great publicity opportunity and Qin Xuan doesn't want to miss it.

"How long does it usually take for a software mall to review something?" Qin Xuan asked Zhu Sheng very calmly after taking a look at the time.

Zhu Sheng did not hesitate and answered directly: "Originally, the review time we agreed on was 24 hours, but after knowing that you were the boss behind Yaqin, all major shopping malls shortened it to 18 hours."

Qin Xuan nodded. "It's definitely too late to start over. Now we can only hope that the guy who deleted the data left a way out when he destroyed it."

"It's 5pm now, and there are still 7 hours left before the review deadline."

"How about this, Lao Li, you get up and let Meng Qi come."

Hearing Qin Xuan's arrangements, Li Yunlong hurriedly stood up.

When he turned around suddenly, he found that there were four top beauties standing next to Qin Xuan.

Meng Qi, mentioned by Qin Xuan, stood in the first place, with a frosty face, which made people feel cold in their hearts.

"Um, Lao Qin, are these four young generals really your subordinates?"

When he thought of the identities of the four people, Li Yunlong's tone instantly became much gentler.

Qin Xuan smiled and nodded, explaining to the other party: "When your military rank reaches a certain level, you will have your own subordinates."

"The four of them were assigned to me by the state."

"Meng Qi is my secretary, responsible for my daily life and decision-making advisory. She is also a top computer hacker."

"So I hope Meng Qi can find the person who destroyed the data through the clues left in the computer."

"Only in this way can we catch up with tomorrow's live broadcast."

Li Yunlong nodded slightly when he heard this, and Qin Xuan activated his ability on the computer.

"Computer, what do you think of what Lao Li and the others said?"

The computer was silent for a moment and gave an answer.

Computer: The destroyer was indeed controlling it remotely. A Trojan virus was implanted in my body. Before the Internet was disconnected, your every move was under the control of the other party.

"Then are there any clues that can help us quickly identify the saboteur?"

Computer: Yes. The Trojan virus was implanted by the other party through the intranet, and the IP address is the computer at workstation 4. However, it was not him who remotely operated it, and the specific IP address was encrypted.

Hearing the reply from the computer, Qin Xuan looked up at Zhao Ming, who looked nervous.

The workstation number four mentioned on the computer belongs to him.

At first, Qin Xuan thought that the other party was so nervous because the project was lost, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

But now it seems that he is afraid that he will be discovered?

"How is it, Mengqi, is it going well?"

After asking everyone else in the office to go to the next room to rest, Qin Xuan came to Yuan Mengqi again.

At this moment, Yuan Mengqi was staring at the computer screen calmly, her eyes moving quickly around like a precision instrument.

"I need to first screen out the specific location of the Trojan."

"Then through cracking and reverse tracing, we can determine the implanted IP and the operating IP."

"It's just that there are so many files in the computer that the screening process may take several hours."

How many hours?

Qin Xuan shook his head slightly.

Just the screening takes several hours, and the computer also says that the operator's IP is encrypted.

If all the time is added together, wouldn’t it take several hours?

They are running out of time now and must speed up the overall progress.

As for the method...

The natural thing is to continue asking the computer.

"Computer, do you know where the Trojan is implanted?"

Computer: I know. It’s a hidden program at the bottom of the F drive.

Upon hearing this, Qin Xuan immediately informed Yuan Mengqi of the information.

Although Yuan Mengqi was surprised, she still screened according to the location Qin Xuan said, and finally found a Trojan program named 0CXF00.

"General, I got it!"

Yuan Mengqi shouted at Qin Xuan, then immediately took out a USB drive and switched the computer to another operating system.

After a series of operations that Qin Xuan couldn't quite understand, a string of IP addresses suddenly appeared in front of them.

Yuan Mengqi finally determined the detailed location of the IP address through search and positioning.

It was Zhao Ming’s workstation number four.

Same as the computer said.

"General, this is the address where the Trojan horse was implanted. It seems that company employees were also involved in this accident."

"As for the remote control address, it has been specially encrypted. I'm afraid it will take me several hours to decipher it."

"It doesn't matter, just crack it."

"There's no need to feel pressured. At worst, Douyin can just be delayed for a few months."

Yuan Mengqi nodded and returned to the intense decryption work.

Qin Xuan also slowly walked out of the office area and came to the rest area where everyone was resting together.

"Lao Qin, why did you come out?"

"Have you found the source of the Trojan horse?"

Hearing the sound of the door, Li Yunlong was the first to climb out of bed.

Although Qin Xuan felt sorry for them working late at night, he asked them to come out and rest first.

But after something like this happens, how many people can really sleep well?

Qin Xuan did not answer Li Yunlong's question immediately.

Instead, he set his sights on Zhao Ming in the corner.

"No."

"The virus is too complicated, Meng Qi is still trying to decipher it."

"By the way, Lao Zhao, your sister-in-law is here. Didn't you tell her about your overtime work?"

"She's waiting in the office now, go check her out!"
