Chapter 269: Bite the Bait
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
In the internet cafe, Billy crawled out from under a computer table and said to a customer, “Alright, you can continue playing.”
He rubbed his shoulders and complained to Luhn, “Did we meet a ghost these past few days? Why did the computers crash one after another?”
Since this morning, six computers had malfunctioned.
Last night, he had been busy until dawn. He had wanted to catch up on sleep during the day, but as soon as he lay down, he was called up to fix the computers. He had been busy all day, causing his back to ache and his head to spin.
“You also said that these are all broken computers. It’s definitely easy for problems to occur.” Luhn saw the dark circles under his eyes and was afraid that he would die suddenly, so he urged him, “Since you have time now, why don’t you go back and rest? At most, if there’s a problem with the computer later, I’ll get someone to replace it or refund them.”
Billy yawned and said, “Okay, I’ll leave the shop to you.”
He was too lazy to return to the apartment and was about to go back to the lounge when his phone rang.
Luhn, who was at the side, also heard it and asked curiously, “You changed your message ringtone?”
Billy was no longer sleepy. He took out his phone with a smile and opened the message. Luhn turned his head and was about to take a glance when he was pushed away by Billy.
Luhn rolled his eyes. “You hid it so well. I think it was some pink girl who sent you the message, right?”
He even set up a special ringtone. How mushy was that?
Billy locked his phone and said, “Get lost, get lost. It’s none of your business. Why are you gossiping?
“Tsk, I can’t be bothered to care about your matters.” Luhn shook his head speechlessly. “I don’t know what those girls see in you. You’re not young, your beard is unshaven, and your clothes are sloppy.”
“Hey, Luhn, I realize that you’re getting bolder and bolder. You dare to ride on my head and teach me a lesson. Am I the boss or are you the boss?” Billy grumbled unhappily, then walked out of the door with his phone.
“Didn’t you say you were so sleepy that you wanted to rest first?” Luhn shouted.
“Why are you resting? I have important matters to attend to.” Billy waved his hand and quickly walked out of the shop.
“What serious business? I think he’s in a hurry to find a woman again.” Luhn pursed his lips, expressing his disdain for his boss’s perverted behavior.
Billy still didn’t know that his reputation among his employees had been so bad, but even if he knew, he wouldn’t care. Now that he was out of the shop, he turned around and went back to his apartment. Then he turned on his computer and downloaded a surveillance video from his email. The person who sent the video was Jeffrey.
That’s right, the so-called hacker Jeffrey found through someone’s recommendation was Billy himself.
There were many hackers in this world, so it was naturally not a coincidence. The reason why the two of them had contacted each other was also the result of Billy’s leadership. This was also what he had been busy with for the past few days.
That day, because of a small thought of his, Caroline’s face appeared in the surveillance camera, increasing the risk of being exposed.
Although Billy was very confident in his skills, a fake was a fake. As long as the video was covered, no matter how good the skills were, there would always be traces left behind.
As the saying went, there was always someone better. If someone could really break through his disguise and restore the video, it would undoubtedly bring a huge risk to Caroline.
Therefore, after the fire that night, when Billy knew that someone would go to check the surveillance cameras, he had been paying attention to this matter to see if there were any powerful people in the circle who would take on similar jobs.
At the same time, he had also monitored the movements of Jeffrey, the core figure of the incident, and thus knew that he was secretly looking for a powerful hacker, and he had offered a considerable price.
So, Billy used a little trick to get someone to recommend one of his side accounts to Jeffrey.
Now that the fish had finally taken the bait, Billy was instantly energized. He rubbed his fists and prepared to trick him.
Jeffrey still didn’t know that he was someone else’s caged bird, so after sending the video, he received feedback the next day. The hacker named ‘Black Shadow’ said that he had restored the surveillance footage.
Jeffrey immediately opened the video that the other party had sent over. After more than 20 seconds, a black rod-like object was suddenly thrown out from the side of the planetarium.
A few seconds later, a person wearing black clothes with a face covered bent over and appeared on the screen. The person hurriedly picked up the black rod-like object and glanced at the surveillance camera before leaving in a
