Chapter 84 It Must Be the King
"Then let's go pick him up!"
Yan Mingyu stood up and said, clearly placing great importance on this computer expert.
Immediately, the group left the food stall, crossed a zebra crossing, and upon reaching the opposite side of the road, they saw a young man with black-framed glasses, messy hair, and wearing a plaid shirt.
He looked somewhat sleazy, eyeing a girl next to him whose skirt was very short, revealing a pair of long white legs.
"Chen Mo!"
Meng Zicheng called out.
They were only familiar with each other online; they had not met in person.
"You're Meng Zicheng?"
The computer expert was also sizing up Meng Zicheng.
"Yeah, let me introduce you, this is Ms. Yan, and this is Miss Liu!"
Meng Zicheng nodded.
"Ms. Yan, the number one beauty of East Sea, I've heard of your great reputation all the way in Jiangcheng! Hello, hello!"
The computer expert's gaze was instantly drawn to Yan Mingyu, making a lecherous face as he stretched out both hands.
"Hello!"
Yan Mingyu merely nodded slightly, but did not shake hands with the computer expert.
"Uh..."
Just when the computer expert was feeling a bit awkward, Liu Xiaoxiao took the initiative to stretch out her fair and delicate hand, "Welcome to East Sea!"
At the same time, her fingers lightly scratched the palm of the computer expert.
"Hiss..."
The computer expert shuddered.
What the heck?
Qin Yu's eyelids twitched at the thought, wondering if the computer expert could be that sensitive.
"Giggle... Meng Zicheng says you're really good with computers, you have to help us out!"
Liu Xiaoxiao pulled the computer expert's hands, swaying them, speaking in a coy voice.
"No... no problem!"
"Gulp!"
As the computer expert watched Liu Xiaoxiao's ample chest sway in front of him, he nodded in agreement, then swallowed hard.
It was just a first encounter.
And he had already fallen under the spell of Liu Xiaoxiao's charms.
"Then let's go over and talk while we eat!"
Yan Mingyu turned and headed back to the food stall.
Liu Xiaoxiao and the computer expert walked side by side, whispering something that made the computer expert let out a silly "hehe" laugh
Qin Yu looked back and thought to himself that if there were levels to flirting with men, Liu Xiaoxiao would certainly be a champion.
Soon.
The group returned to the food stall, where Yan Mingyu called the owner over to order more food.
"Expert, this little sister toasts to you!"
Liu Xiaoxiao knew how to create an atmosphere, referring to herself as 'little sister' in front of the computer expert.
Her fox-like eyes sparkled brightly, displaying an admiration for the other party.
"Hehe, sure!"
The computer expert couldn't resist, seeming a bit woozy before he even started drinking.
To be honest, it wasn't hard to tell from his attire and demeanor that this computer expert was probably a legend online but an absolute homebody nerd in real life.
Not to mention someone of Liu Xiaoxiao's caliber, even ordinary girls might not give him a second look.
It had to be said that Yan Mingyu's use of the beauty trap was indeed masterful.
It wasn't just about getting him to recover a computer - judging by how things were going, he'd likely jump off a rooftop without batting an eye if asked.
"Giggle... I didn't expect you to be not only skilled in computers but also to have a good capacity for alcohol. Do you know how to play the finger-guessing game? Let's play a few rounds!"
Liu Xiaoxiao asked with a charming smile.
"Hehe, of course, I do. Not to brag, but in my area, there's no one who can beat me at the finger-guessing game!"
The computer expert boasted, patting his chest.
"Giggle, that impressive? Hmm... it's getting a bit hot, I'm going to take my jacket off!"
After Liu Xiaoxiao took off her jacket, the startling contrast between her full bust and flat abdomen made the computer expert's eyes nearly pop out of their sockets.
Perhaps, with the blessing of beauty filters, everyone online is beautiful.
But in reality, to find someone on Liu Xiaoxiao's level was rare.
She extended her fair hand and started playing the finger-guessing game with the computer expert: "One dragon, two good families!"
"You drink!"
The computer expert was no match for Liu Xiaoxiao, losing almost every round.
"Xiaoxiao!"
Yan Mingyu gave her bestie a meaningful look, signaling not to get the computer expert drunk; there was still serious business to tend to later.
"Mhm!"
After receiving the hint from Yan Mingyu, Liu Xiaoxiao grabbed a clean pair of chopsticks and fed a piece of meat to the computer expert.
"Here, have some lamb meat, open up!"
"Hehe...."
The computer expert was so delighted that his mouth almost split to his ears.
While chewing the meat, he asked somewhat unclearly, "Miss Liu, what do you do for a living?"
"Egg-cracking specialist!"
Liu Xiaoxiao said solemnly.
"Ah? Are you a police officer?"
The computer expert paused for a moment.
"No, I run a private hospital, specializing in surgeries. Many male patients from car accidents are sent to my hospital, and it's my job to 'crack' their 'eggs.' As I've done it so often, they've started calling me an egg-cracking specialist!"
Liu Xiaoxiao said, looking at her slender fingers with quite a bit of pride.
"Uh...."
The computer expert unconsciously squeezed his thighs together.
"Alright, we've had enough midnight snacks. Let's get down to business!"
Yan Mingyu had told her family group that she would resolve this issue in three days, and time was running out.
"Expert, I'm counting on you!"
Liu Xiaoxiao batted her watery eyes.
"Leave it to me!"
The computer expert puffed out his chest and declared.
"Qin Yu, go bring the mainframe in!"
Yan Mingyu tilted her head and asked the owner to arrange a private room.
When Qin Yu came in with the mainframe, they all walked into the private room together.
Meng Zicheng took out his laptop and after connecting it to the mainframe, the computer expert sat down and started tapping away at the keyboard.
His face grew much more serious.
"Interesting, interesting.... Hahaha.... Watch me work my magic!"
The computer expert laughed somewhat neurotically, his fingers moving even faster.
"Click...."
A few minutes later, the computer expert pressed the Enter key and said with a smile, "All done!"
"Holy shit.... Chen Mo, you're really something!"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Meng Zicheng looked at the computer screen and gave a thumbs up.
"Hehe, just a little better than you!"
The computer expert said smugly.
"Meng Zicheng, check who he has been in contact with recently,"
Yan Mingyu also approached the computer and suggested.
"Alright!"
If the content in the mainframe could be restored, Meng Zicheng would be able to handle the rest.
Clickety-clack....
After a bit of operating, Meng Zicheng said with an embarrassed face, "Boss Yan, they didn't use any communication tools. It seems that the task was published on the dark web, and then accepted here."
"If they were communicating through the dark web, then it's tough to trace!"
The computer expert nodded in agreement.
In recent years, there had been more and more stories about the "dark web." From trading cryptocurrencies to buying and selling weapons and missiles, it could all be done on the dark web.
The strength and fear associated with the dark web were evident, and it seemed to permeate every corner of the world.
Even a country might not be able to breach its security systems.
"Expert, you're so skilled; you must have a way to deal with this, right?"
Seeing Yan Mingyu's distressed expression, Liu Xiaoxiao tugged on the computer expert's arm and shook it.
"Hehe, I'll give it my best shot!"
The computer expert gave a silly smile and started typing again.
"Boss Yan, I think we could try a different approach!"
At that moment, Qin Yu spoke up, stroking his chin.
"Speak!"
Yan Mingyu's gaze fell on Qin Yu's face.
