An Old Friend Appears

Upon turning on her hacker software, Gu Nianzhi habitually hid her IP address first, then proceeded to use someone else's IP to return to the author's main page. She checked out the situation and realized that the author was online!

Looking at her watch, it was about seven-ish o'clock in the evening. The novel had been posted about an hour ago, at six o'clock. Now, the author was online again at seven odd o'clock. Was this author trying to refresh their novel, or was the author trying to have a chat session with their fans?

Without hesitating, Gu Nianzhi sent the author a direct message as bait to lure the author into talking to her. The author saw her message almost instantaneously.

Gu Nianzhi's direct message from the hacker software masked her identity and made her look like support staff from Weibo, saying that there was an issue with their account and requesting them to confirm their identity.
