Out Of Options!

Bureau Of Security,

Wei Zihao looked carefully at the files Shadow One had handed him, his brows drawn together tightly.

"Submission stage and other levels of the competition have been ongoing for about two months. Why is she just fighting for it now?" He mumbled as he kept flipping the pages.

After following her last night, Wei Zihao had stayed in the shadows but didn't find anything or see her report to anyone.

The reports were also simple. Other than having good academic records in high school, there was nothing else interesting about her.

"Master, we were also unable to trace her background. Despite being adopted by the Yu Family, no one in the District knows where she was brought from," Shadow 1 said with his head bowed to his chest.

The man seated on the high seat frowned slightly, his elegant brows curving on both ends from the mere action.

"If she was brought in from another district, there should be a transfer record, search again," Wei Zihao ordered with a wave of his hand.

Every District had an orphanage.

If the child was lucky, they could be adopted by a family or an organisation to be trained.

However, in most cases, once an orphan is up to eight years old, they are usually sent back to the 1st District.

Also, to make sure that riots and the power balance were maintained, any child sent back to the 1st District had to go through a hypnosurgey to make sure that they no longer had memories of the other District.

Because of this, it wasn't rare to find children with unknown backgrounds in the 1st District but each one of them used to have a transfer record.

As soon as Shadow One left, Shadow Four rushed into his office.

"The old man from the Lin Family is here and requesting to see you,"

"Send them out," Wei Zihao said without looking away from the documents he was holding.

Seeing that his master's anger hadn't lessened from the night before, Shadow Four stepped out at the speed of light.

Now left alone, Wei Zihao sat up and turned on three computers in front of me.

"Let's see if you really own the software, little troublemaker!"

********

Zhao Xinyi had no idea of the various schemes that were going on behind her back.

Since she had broken the firewall and gotten the access pass for the second level, Zhao Xinyi spent the last five hours trying to break the firewall for the third level.

Just like she guessed, in the last five years, a lot of new technology had been added to these things, and the firewall blocking the third level was just as strong as what used to secure the 6th level some years back.

But as she had no other option, Zhao Xinyi didn't dare to give up, and her hands kept flying across the keyboard.

By the time Yu Lan came up to call her for dinner, she had spent close to ten hours on her computer, but she had still been unable to break through the firewall.

Zhao Xinyi sighed and stepped outside the room.

Her eyes narrowed with suspicion as she felt the sour mood in the room.

"Xiao Mei, are you sure there's no way for you to get evidence on the work?" Father Yu asked after a while.

He was someone that only cared about the benefits. Since he couldn't control Zhu Fan, there was no need for Zhu Fan to get all the benefits!

If there were a way to get evidence on Zhao Mei's side, he would not hesitate. She was, after all easier to control

"I checked several times yesterday. There's nothing… father, don't worry, as long as he can't take the one with the company…" as she said that, Zhao Xinyi lowered her head, creating the perfect image of an obedient daughter.

Father Yu sighed in his heart one more time before nodding. "We can only let that scoundrel take away your hard work,"

Yu Lan rolled her eyes as she felt like her dad was taking the drama too far. However, she couldn't say anything in front of Zhao Xinyi.

After eating dinner, Zhao Xinyi rushed back to her room.

The final was in a few hours, and she had been unable to break into the third level.

If this was her previous life, something like breaking through firewalls in each level wasn't something she ever had to challenge. With her skills, they moved from each level very quickly.

But now, the computer was her greatest hindrance. Zhao Mei had no significant savings that could be used to purchase another computer.

Thinking to that point, Zhao Xinyi was even more motivated!

From Zhao Mei's memories, she knew that this competition not only came with 25,000 Value Points, but it also came with money.

That amount of Value points was a lot to people in the 1st District, but it was still not enough to take her out of here. However, the money was just as enticing.

Zhao Xinyi didn't have any significant grudge against the Yu Family.

To people like them, the best vengeance was making them see that they could never catch up with her. After being used to stepping all over Zhao Mei, that was definitely the best revenge for them.

As for Zhu Fan, Xinyi was determined to make him pay.

Out of his greed, he had taken away the most precious thing to Zhao Mei and then took her life when she tried to protest.

A person like that deserved to feel the same level of pain, and Zhao Xinyi didn't mind being the one to serve me.

Wasn't he just the same as Fang Yijun?

She shook her head slightly, clearing her thoughts as she focused on the computer one more time, just like before, her fingers danced elegantly over the keyboard.

However, after about two hours of constantly typing codes and chasing the backend firewall on the other side, The computer in front of her went blank all of a sudden.

Zhao Xinyi jumped up from her seat, confirming that the system hadn't disconnected from its wireless charging port. After confirming that there was no problem with the power supply, she kept trying to get the computer to come on.

However, no matter what she did, the computer didn't come on.

As an expert, she knew that there were only two possibilities.

One, she had alerted an expert on the other end of the firewall, who had then sent a virus to shut down her computer.

Two, the computer was too small to handle all of that coding.

No matter which one, she was certain that the computer couldn't come on anymore.

At the mere thought of this, Zhao Xinyi fell back into her seat helplessly.

"Am I supposed to give up this early?"
