Finally, twenty minutes later, the base laboratory returned to normal.
General Wen looked at the black dot on the computer screen and couldn’t react for a long time. “Jiang City?”
“Yes.”
The technician nodded. “The other party doesn’t seem to be afraid of us coming. They didn’t deliberately hide their whereabouts.”
To them, this method of not deliberately hiding their whereabouts was the worst.
This was a place where geniuses gathered. It was one thing to be hacked by someone without a hidden IP address, but it took them twenty minutes before the system returned to normal.
“Zoom in.” General Wen looked at the bright spot on the map and narrowed his eyes.
The geographical location continued to magnify.
Finally, it stopped at Jiang City No.1 Middle School.
“Do you think it’s her…” a technician asked.
It can’t be.”
General Wen shook his head. “She’s not that capable…”
“But…”
“Retrack.” General Wen narrowed his eyes. “It could be her after all.”
That person.
She was the one most likely to enter the base’s protective net for destruction.

Nian Yue slept all the way until dawn. As she had stayed up a little late the day before, she was a little tired the next day. She lay on her desk and slept for half a day before she was barely awake.
When she woke up, there was a cup of warm milk tea at the right corner of her desk. The class was empty.
“You’re awake?” Lin Nan looked up from his phone.
Nian Yue stretched out her fingers and rubbed her forehead. Her fair and slender fingers rubbed her temples and her eyes regained some clarity.
“Yes.” Perhaps because she had slept for too long, her voice was a little hoarse.
“Everyone in the class went to watch Nian Yan’s piano performance…” Lin Nan explained when he saw her confusion.
“Yeah.”
Nian Yue stretched and took a sip of the milk tea before her throat felt much better.
At this moment, Nian Yan and Master Zhang were walking side by side in the corridor. There were quite a number of students following behind them. They were all here to witness Master Zhang’s glory.
“This is our class…” When they reached the entrance of Class B, Nian Yan introduced her to Master Zhang.
“But everyone has gone to the music square, so there’s no one…” Nian Yan smiled and explained to Master Zhang.
Zhang Wei was a young woman in her twenties. She wore a dark blue dress and her hair was draped over her shoulders.
“I see.” Zhang Wei nodded her head. She did not have any special feelings for Nian Yan. Although she played well, she felt that something was missing.
While the two of them were talking, two people walked over from the opposite side of the corridor. The girl in the lead was wearing a sky blue school uniform. Her hair was tied into a bun, revealing her smooth forehead. Her school uniform was a little loose. The zipper was only halfway down, revealing a pure white T-shirt underneath.
Only her face glowed.
“Yue Yue…” Nian Yan greeted her when she saw her.
Nian Yan had always been very familiar with the art of putting on an appearance.
Nian Yan did not even spare her a glance and brushed past her.
“Aunt.” Lin Nan stopped and greeted her.
“Are you used to being in school?” Zhang Wei looked at Lin Nan and finally had a hint of humanity on her face.
“It’s alright.” Lin Nan shrugged nonchalantly and glanced at Nian Yan. There was a hint of coldness in her eyes, so quick that it was hard to catch it.
It was only when Lin Nan left that Zhang Wei glanced at the young girl who was about to disappear at the end of the corridor. Nian Yan subconsciously bit her lip and said, “Teacher Zhang, don’t be angry. That’s my sister. She grew up in the countryside and often fought in school. My dad was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to get into university, so…”
Nian Yan did not finish her sentence. When she raised her head to look at Zhang Wei’s reaction, she realized that Zhang Wei’s eyes were fixed on the corridor and did not seem to take her words to heart.
Zhang Wei frowned. She seemed to have seen that girl somewhere before.

The afternoon class was really boring. Nian Yue and Lin Nan skipped class and went straight to the internet cafe. Nian Yue looked at the series of codes on the computer screen and smiled.
Then, she set her location at the internet cafe.
Lin Nan saw a series of codes on her computer screen. She was typing on the computer with her head lowered. With the light from the screen on her face, she appear even paler.
Finally, the computer screen returned to normal and reverted to the blue window.
Lin Nan gulped. He thought that Nian Yue was just good at gaming, but he did not expect her hacking skills to be so good.
Nian Yue leaned back in her seat and rubbed her temples. She must have been feeling a little dizzy because she had stayed outside for too long yesterday.
“Listen up, I will only say the following words once.” Nian Yue’s eyes turned cold. It was rare for Lin Nan to see her so formal, so he subconsciously sat up straight.
“The Lin Group has been going downhill for the past half a year. Some of the shareholders have even left their jobs…” Nian Yue narrowed her eyes. Because she was not feeling well, her voice was a little hoarse. However, her words were clear and when they were connected, Lin Nan could not recover from the shock for a long time.
He knew that there was a problem with the Lin family’s development in the past two years. Father Lin and Elder Lin were also looking for a new way out. However, the economic situation in the past two years wasn’t good. The Lin family’s development was getting worse.
Sometimes, he even suspected that they might declare bankruptcy the next day.
But to break through the bottleneck and walk a new path was undoubtedly as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
And what Nian Yue had suggested was something he had never thought about.
“I have the technology. If Old Master Lin wants to collaborate, get him to look for me at Xinhua Bookstore two days later.” After Nian Yue said that, her slender fingers rubbed her temples.
It must be that this body was rejecting her. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been so dizzy from an ordinary cold.
Lin Nan was so shocked by her words that he could not react for a long time. He swallowed hard before saying, “You… really grew up in the countryside?”
Even as the heir of the Lin family, he only knew a little about these things. Yet, Nian Yue was able to speak of them so clearly.
“Is there a problem?” Nian Yue raised her eyebrows.
“No… I just feel that compared to you, Nian Yan is simply an insult…”
Nian Yan, who had been praised as a genius was insta-killed.
Yet, those people treated her like a princess.
“Ha…” Nian Yue laughed lightly. She picked up the milk tea on the table and took a sip before turning off the computer. Just as she stood up, she suddenly heard voices from outside. There was a strong smell of gunpowder!
“Bang!” A gunshot rang out, causing the previously quiet internet cafe to instantly boil over!
Intuitively, Nian Yue grabbed Lin Nan’s wrist and flipped over the table. She opened the door and both of them quickly hid inside!
At this moment, the internet cafe was already in a mess. Screams and cries were mixed together. Another gunshot sounded and a man dressed in black came in from the door.
