Lu Ning Is the Key

Chu Ting pored over the investigation report on Lu Ning, but he really could not see anything about Lu Ning that made her seem to be Hacker Z.

"President Huo, did you really see the alarm device in Miss Lu's bag?"

Huo Jinyan tapped his fingers on the table and nodded.

Chu Ting frowned and felt that it was impossible.

Huo Jinyan shot him a glance. "Continue reading."

"Right. Miss Lu's grades aren't very good either. She went to prestigious schools in elementary and junior high, and in elementary school she was still among the top three. However, when she got to junior high her grades plummeted and she became last in class.

"However, the strange thing was that Miss Lu received an admission letter from No. 1 High School when she got to high school.

"No. 1 High School is the best high school in A City, and the top 300 students with the highest grades in A City are enrolled there. The remaining spots are determined by randomly selecting from those who scored above the cutoff score, and based on Miss Lu's results she shouldn't have met No. 1 High School's criteria.

"Also, in her first year of high school Miss Lu was a home tutor, and she tutored a child who was unable to walk.

"There's nothing unusual in the rest of the report. Miss Lu never participated in any computer-related competitions, and according to our information Miss Lu also did poorly on her computing courses."

Huo Jinyan lowered his eyes. "What about the others?"

Chu Ting continued, "We've investigated the rest of the people on the ferris wheel. Aside from two e-sports players, the others are normal families and their children. There's no possibility of them being it.

"For the e-sports players, we've also checked some of their competition and training logs. The timeline doesn't align with the time we were hacked by Z."

Huo Jinyan looked up at the night sky outside the window.

Then… she's the only one left…

He could not have been mistaken, the signal light was clearly flashing inside her bag.

In fact, Huo Jinyan himself did not really believe that Lu Ning was Z, but there were a number of signs from her which seemed to connect them together.

Regardless, Lu Ning is the key. Didn't she have two brothers? Perhaps one of them was it.

In order to catch Z, he has to start with Lu Ning!

Chu Ting flipped through the thick stack of documents in his hand and suddenly spotted something interesting.

"President Huo, it seems that the current principal of No. 1 High School is the head of the Shen family, Shen Guang."

Huo Jinyan looked up. "Shen Guang?"

What was the head of the Shen family doing here instead of staying in the capital?

Chu Ting nodded. "Yes, it appears he's been here for three years."

"Three years?"

Huo Jinyan suddenly thought of something. "Does it coincide with the time Lu Ning entered No. 1 High School?"

Chu Ting nodded. "It matches! No. 1 High School's admission notices this year were all signed off by him."

Huo Jinyan frowned, his expression darkening.

Shen Guang would not come to this place to be the principal for no reason. There must be something that brought him here.

And Lu Ning would not suddenly appear on the admission list; someone must have added her in.

Was this all a coincidence?

He did not believe in coincidences!

Even if Lu Ning was not Z, she must have other secrets!

It even attracted the head of the Shen family to come personally! And for a whole three years!

Huo Jinyan suddenly looked up and the edges of his lips curled into a grin.

It made Chu Ting's hair stand on end.

Oh no, Miss Lu is going to be in trouble…

"Find out where Shen Guang is now."

"Huh?" Chu Ting could not respond.

He looked at Huo Jinyan's eyes and immediately nodded. "Understood!"

Huo Jinyan stood up and walked out.

Since he already knew that Z was here, he did not believe that he could not catch him!
