Chapter 523: Hacker Alliance Wants a Piece of the Pie?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Wen Xin wasn’t particularly interested in Mu Chengxi’s project. She simply nodded faintly in acknowledgment, then picked up her phone and started browsing the messages on the dark web.

The dark web had been quite calm recently, with all the forces seemingly quiet these past few days.

However, this quiet life made Wen Xin feel uneasy, as if some major event was brewing.

At that moment, Wen Xin received a message from the Hacker Alliance’s president on her phone.

“Master, do you know about the hacking incident at Independent State yesterday? People from Continent M. have always managed the cybersecurity of Independent State They terminated cooperation six months ago. What’s the situation now?”

“It’s still terminated. Why? Do you want a piece of the pie?”

Wen Xin replied to the Hacker Alliance’s president’s message while eating. She didn’t think he had the guts, but she couldn’t rule out the possibility of him having such thoughts. After all, the temptation of Independent State was still very great.

“Somebody approached me for cooperation, but I know you have connections with Continent M, so I wanted to consult you first.”

“I don’t know if I should call you naive or say you’re blinded by money. You’re a hacker. Since when did you start caring about network security? He wants to leverage your influence to find the hacker who attacked their security. The incident at Independent State was done by me. Don’t get involved in this!”

Wen Xin kindly reminded the president of the Hacker Alliance. She didn’t want the Hacker Alliance to be used as a tool.

Seeing Wen Xin’s response, the president of the Hacker Alliance instantly understood her intentions. He replied with an OK gesture and then closed the chat interface.

Sitting in his office, the president of the Hacker Alliance looked at the tall buildings outside the window. Across from him was Continent M’s largest office building. He knew that was where the mysterious W was located.

In his heart, his fear of Independent State was far less than his awe of W. Although he knew nothing about W, he was willing to call him “Master” with heartfelt respect.

Since the incident at Independent State was related to his Master, he really didn’t need to wade into this muddy water.

After finishing a bowl of rice, Wen Xin put down her chopsticks on the table. She lazily sat in her chair, not in a hurry to leave.

Seeing this, Mu Bei went to the fridge and took out the mango cake Mu Chengxi had asked him to buy earlier in the morning. He placed it in front of Wen Xin.

“Miss Wen, this was bought for you by Master Xi. Have a taste.”

Wen Xin took the fork from Mu Bei and picked up the small cake on the table, taking a few bites. Her mind seemed to be elsewhere, thinking about something.

After a while, Wen Xin put down the cake in her hand, got up from her chair, and spoke calmly to Mu Bei.

“Prepare a gift box for me. I want to visit the Wei family.”

Upon hearing Wen Xin’s words, Mu Bei was somewhat surprised. Mu Chengxi rarely went to the Wei family. What did Miss Wen want to do there?

“Miss Wen, you want to go to the Wei family… for what?”

“I’m asking you to prepare a gift box. You just need to prepare it. Don’t tell Mu Chengxi. I’ll go to the Wei family myself.”

Wen Xin then turned around and headed upstairs to her bedroom. She wanted to confirm one thing. Only Wei Yi knew the truth.

Half an hour later, Wen Xin changed and came out of the bedroom. She walked down the stairs. Tan Xingyue, Wen Huai, and the others were not playing games. They were sitting on the sofa and looking at Wen Xin. Mu Bei had returned from preparing the gift boxes.

Wen Xin glanced at the few people sitting in the living room staring at her. She raised her eyebrows and said,” You guys have fun. I’m going out to do something and will return soon. Let Liang Luoyu bring you guys out for dinner tonight. We’ll report to school together the day after tomorrow.”

Saying so, Wen Xin walked out of the house with the gift box in hand. Mu Bei followed behind Wen Xin, and he started the car without a word. It was more convenient for him to lead the way to the Wei family for her first visit.

In the car, Mu Bei glanced at Wen Xin’s expression through the rearview mirror. Wen Xin lazily sat in the back seat, holding her phone and playing a game.

“Miss Wen, Master Xi sent a message saying that Young Master Ling wants to invite everyone to dinner. Do you want to go?”

“Check the time when I was chatting with Old Man Wei. If we have time, we’ll go see him after.”

Wen Xin’s eyes were fixed on the game on her phone as she replied to Mu Bei in a nonchalant tone, her mind seemingly preoccupied with something else, giving off an air of indifference.

Mu Bei’s car stopped outside the gate of the Wei family’s mansion. The butler of the Wei family recognized Mu Bei’s car and thought Mu Chengxi had come over. He quickly opened the gate and let Mu Bei drive into the courtyard.

When Wen Xin exited the car, the butler was slightly stunned and somewhat surprised. “Miss Wen? Didn’t Young Master come with you?”

“I just thought of coming to see Old Master Wei. Is Old Master Wei available?”

Accompanied by the butler, Wen Xin walked to the backyard pavilion. Old Master Wei, drinking tea in the pavilion, walked out when he heard Wen Xin’s voice. His eyes filled with admiration as he looked at Wen Xin.

“Why would it be inconvenient? Come over.” Wei Yi’s shrewd eyes looked at Wen Xin lovingly. He had always felt that this little girl was intelligent and had always treated Wen Xin differently.

Old Master Wei poured a cup of hot tea for Wen Xin and placed it in front of her.

“Why did you come alone? Where’s Chengxi? Why didn’t he come with you?” Old Master Wei looked at Wen Xin with a kind gaze, giving off a sense of looking at his junior.

“I just thought of coming to see you at the last minute. I have some questions to ask you.” Wen Xin’s bright black eyes looked at Old Master Wei seriously.

Old Master Wei immediately tensed up when he saw Wen Xin’s serious gaze. He couldn’t understand what kind of question could make Wen Xin so serious.

“Just say whatever you want. I’ll tell you everything I know.” Old Master Wei put down his tea cup, his sharp eyes showing seriousness, prepared to answer Wen Xin’s question.

“I want to know about Wei Shisheng’s identity. Is her mother a member of the Tang family of Independent State?”

Wen Xin’s question caught Old Master Wei off guard. His eyes narrowed involuntarily. He didn’t understand how Wen Xin knew about the Tang family of Independent State.

“How did you know about the Tang family of Independent State? Who told you about Wei Shisheng’s identity? Was it Chengxi?”

Taking a sip of tea, Old Master Wei tried to suppress his surprise. If it was Mu Chengxi who told her, he could understand.

“Does Mu Chengxi also know about Wei Shisheng’s identity? He seems to be unfamiliar with the Tang family of Independent State.”
