“Are you saying that they are targeting me?” hearing this, Jin Xiangdong squinted at Jason .

“Who else do you think? The hacker was showing off his skill by deleting the surveillance record in just a few minutes and we are the only persons Professor Lu and Su Han know out of the whole IT industry . It seems that someone wants to challenge you . ” Jason told Jin Xiangdong as he tapped Jin Xiangdong's shoulder .

“Challenge me?”

“I haven't seen such a genius for a long time . Are you excited?” seeing Jin Xiangdong's expression, Jason was growing increasingly excited .

It was true that Jin Xiangdong was excited seeing such a genius . Although he did not think that his program was perfect, he was highly admired and respected in the IT industry . The program that he wrote was regarded as perfect and invulnerable . However, Jin Xiangdong knew that there was still a lot of room for improvement . Unfortunately, humans were not capable of achieving it currently .

“Perhaps, this may not be as simple as you have surmised . ” Jin Xiangdong was not very positive about this incident .

“This is just a warning!” As soon as Jin Xiangdong finished his words, he heard the sound of keyboard typing and a line of red font appeared on the screen .

Jason's jaw dropped in shock, his eyes fixed at the notebook screen .

Jin Xiangdong gave a large gasp of surprise . His notebook was secured with the best security system and had never been invaded before . The hacker's skill was stunning .

“Warning? Who are you?” Jin Xiangdong suddenly blurted out .

“It doesn't matter who I am, the most important thing is that you've messed with the wrong person!” snother line appeared on the screen .

“Who did I mess with?” Jin Xiangdong asked .

However, there was no answer to his question and the notebook returned to normal .

The s.p.a.cious living room sank into an eerie silence . The thing that happened just now was like a distant dream .

“Your notebook was hacked?” Jason rubbed his eyes and stared at the notebook .

As compared to Jason who was still lost in bewilderment, Jin Xiangdong was calm and composed in his physical appearance . However, the incident had caused a storm deep in his heart .

“I am asking you . ” not getting Jin Xiangdong's response, Jason pushed him slightly .

“The hacker is a genius indeed . ” Jin Xiangdong stared at the notebook as he said coldly .

“It's real . Your notebook is truly hacked!” Jason said .

Jin Xiangdong did not respond and merely placed the notebook on his lap . He flicked his slender fingers as they danced across the keyboard . Jin Xiangdong was tracing the hacker, but he could only detect a few virtual IP addresses .

As the tracing was fruitless, Jin Xiangdong went through the program copied from Amy's system again . After Jason decoded the program, Jin Xiangdong found a virus that was inputted seamlessly into the program .

Standing at the side, Jason finally beheld Jin Xiangdong's preeminent skill as he did not even realise that there was a virus when he decoded the program .

“Hurry up! Take a look at the files in your notebook and check if the files were copied,” Jason said .

Jin Xiangdong did not check, but stared silently at the screen . Seeing Jin Xiangdong did not respond, Jason took the notebook away, and checked it on his own .

Jin Xiangdong paid no regard to Jason, leaned back on the sofa and sank into contemplation .

“Fortunately, there is no sign of the files being copied . ” Jason breathed a sigh of relief after he finished checking .

Jin Xiangdong did not think the checking was necessary as the hacker was so powerful that he could even invade his notebook, let alone copying the files . At this moment, his mind was full of the words of the mysterious hacker .

“Ace, you need to archive your notebook completely . ”Jason closed the notebook .

Still, Jin Xiangdong did not utter a word . Jason looked at him and started talking about the incident just now .

“Warning—would it be your compet.i.tor?” Jason asked .

Of the whole artificial intelligence industry, there were not many technology companies that were capable of competing with BUA . As for the skill, BUA was no doubt the top of the industry .

“The main purpose the hacker hacked into my notebook was that I messed with the wrong person . ” Jin Xiangdong said .

“Who did you mess with recently?” Jason lost in wonder .

Jin Xiangdong shook his head . He had always been keeping a small circle of friends and only the key personnel would liaise with him in his company . The rest was handled by Jason . In other words, the public only knew that Jason was the senior officer of BUA but they knew nothing about Jin Xiangdong .

“Would it be…” Jason suddenly said as something crossed his mind .

Jin Xiangdong looked at Jason . It seemed that he was of the same thought .

“Professor Lu is the only person you got to know recently,” Jason said .

“What does this phantom hacker have to do with Jia'er?” Jin Xiangdong nodded, his eyes filled with doubts .

“Could Professor Lu be involved in industrial espionage?” Jason asked .

“Don't make wild blind guesses without evidence,” Jin Xiangdong retorted .

It was natural that Jin Xiangdong would defend Lu Jia'er as she was his girlfriend after all . It was fine if Lu Jia'er was not an Industrial spy . However, if Jason was right, Jin Xiangdong had truly fallen into a honey trap .

“I will check it out,” Jason said .

“Don't mess around . ” Jin Xiangdong stopped Jason .

“Your notebook was hacked . It's not something trivial . ” Jason reminded Jin Xiangdong anxiously . If Lu Jia'er was truly an industrial spy, they are finished .

Naturally, Jin Xiangdong knew that it was a severe matter . However, when he recalled the things that had happened ever since he met Lu Jia'er, he could not agree with Jason's a.s.sumption .

“I will give her a call to check the update on the police investigation,” Jin Xiangdong said .

“It has always been the most difficult decision to make between a woman and one's career . ” Jason merely patted Jin Xiangdong's shoulders .

“I know what I am supposed to do . ” Jin Xiangdong took a glance at Jason and opened his notebook .

As soon as Jin Xiangdong finished his words, Ake walked out from the study after it completed its charging .

“Master! Jason! you are back!” Seeing Jason and Jin Xiangdong sitting in the living room, it quickly rushed toward them .

“Ake, I am thirsty, take me a gla.s.s of iced juice . ” Jason asked Ake to get him a drink as soon as he saw Ake .

“Okay . Master, any drink for you?” Ake did not forget to ask Jin Xiangdong .

“Get me a cup of water,” Jin Xiangdong said with the notebook in his hands .

“Are you trying to destroy the virus?” After Ake went to the kitchen, Jason leaned over as he asked .

“Yup,” Jin Xiangdong answered .

Sitting next to Jin Xiangdong, Jason did not talk further and stared quietly at Jin Xiangdong who was decoding the virus that the phantom hacker created .

As the night fell on the city, the living room was brightly lit .

Ake went to the study after it finished preparing the meal . Seeing Jason and Jin Xiangdong were buried in their own computers as if they were busy with something, it knocked at the door . It seemed like Ake had missed out on a lot of things when it was charging . However, Jin Xiangdong did not tell Ake anything about it .

“Master and Jason, dinner is ready . ” Ake walked near the table .

Not seeing any response from both of them, Ake merely blinked its eyes and walked out obediently .

“Ake, bring my food here . ” before it reached the door, Jason called out at Ake .

“Master told me before that the dining room is for dining and the bedroom is for sleeping . ” Ake turned to look at Jason who was still staring at the notebook .

“I am nearly starved to death . Don't worry about the rules set by your master, he wouldn't bother . Bring the food in . ” Hearing Ake, Jason said . His eyes were still fixing at the screen .

“Master, is that alright?” Ake blinked its eyes and asked .

“No . ” Jin Xiangdong answered . His eyes were also staring at the notebook .

“Jason, go and have your dinner first . ” before Jason responded, Jin Xiangdong said in a low voice .

“Let's eat together,” Jason could not help but stop his work as he stretched his body .

“No, I am not hungry . ” Jin Xiangdong was staring at the notebook, his fingers were still tapping at the keyboard .

“You can't do this on an empty stomach,” said Jason .

Jin Xiangdong did not respond . Jason could not do anything so he got up and walked out of the study .

Both Jin Xiangdong and Jason were totally worn out after working for the whole day to decode the virus . However, they had not been successful . Hence, it had awakened a strong desire within them to destroy the virus .

Jason's had revived his energy after eating the food prepared by Ake .

It was said that AI was the start of a revolution and programmers were about to dominate the world . However, it was not easy . From writing to decoding the program, the mind was as if a wind turbine that kept turning incessantly . It was extremely exhausting!

“Ake, take a cup of warm milk into the study for your master,” Jason said . He knew that when Jin Xiangdong was working, he would forget about food and drink as if a master who was meditating .
