League 134

Chapter 134

The Trojan horse they planted in Greer Group’s system was indeed being dismantled, with 60%already cracked.

Millie stroked her chin while watching the progress bar inching forward. In less than 20 minutes, itwould be fully compromised.

She was surprised to learn that the person Winston had hired was skilled. They were actuallycapable of cracking her Trojan horse.

Employees stranded at the entrance of Greer Group had been cleared out. An urgent noticeinformed everyone of a half–day leave, and they would resume work in the afternoon.

The company’s internal group chat had erupted into chaos. Many personnel voiced their doubtsabout everything being resolved by the afternoon.

One employee wrote, “Our security system is so strong. How did anyone manage to breach it?”

Another replied, “I bet the boss offended someone!”

The entire building was without power, making it appear lifeless. However, a smiley face wouldappear on the screen whenever an employee swiped their ID. It was a blatant provocation, yet therewas nothing they could do about it.

Right then, a user with a black profile picture appeared in the chat with the name G.

The person wrote, “Work will continue as usual this afternoon. Any questions?”

Upon seeing that message, everyone inhaled sharply and fell silent. The person was none otherthan Winston. Since he had spoken, no one had the guts to question him.

Meanwhile, in a hidden studio, Winston stood with his arms crossed. He frowned as he stared atthe

screen filled with lines of code.

Then, he asked the young man typing away at the keyboard, “How soon until it’s resolved?”

“About 20 minutes,” the young man replied, hacking through one line of code after another.

While decrypting the codes, he asked Winston, “Mr. Greer, who did you offend? This Trojan horsedoesn’t seem like something an average person would plant.”

Winston’s frown deepened upon hearing that. “What kind of person could do this then?”

“A professional hacker. Just look at these codes. Each layer is intertwined. If one decryption fails,we’re back to square one. Besides, this Trojan horse only gives us two chances to crack it.”

Winston’s expression darkened further. “What happens if we fail both times?”

The young man chuckled awkwardly before saying, “Then….. We’d have to replace the hacker andbeg

them to undo it.”

“So, if you don’t want to beg someone else, you’d better dismantle it soon.”

The young man managed to squeeze a smile in response. Of course, he didn’t want to begsomeone else. He was a hacker, after all. It would be humiliating if a hacker couldn’t crack a Trojanhorse and had to plead for help.

Winston observed the flood of messages pouring from the company’s executives on his phone.Fury welled up inside him, and he slammed his right hand on the leather chair.

Who on earth was behind this attack?

Just as Winston was about to leave, the young man exclaimed, “Mr. Greer, we have a problem!”

He turned, displeasure evident on his face. “What now?”

“The person has reinforced the firewall… I need to start cracking it all over again!‘ The young manwore a pained expression as he spoke.

⚫ Winston was at a loss for words, “How long will it take?”

1–I’m not sure,” the young man answered gravely

At that point, Winston was genuinely frustrated. He slammed both hands on the table, his gaze.menacing as he looked at the young man.

“Do whatever it takes. Find a way to resolve this quickly. The company needs to operate normallyby this afternoon. Do you understand?” he uttered coldly.

The young man nodded anxiously.

In the hospital, Millie had just reconfigured the Trojan horse. Upon seeing the progress bar hit 100percent, a smirk played on her lips as she clapped gleefully.

Winston was the one who provoked her in the first place, so she wanted him to understand what itwas like to be tormented. For now, he had no choice but to endure it.

As Millie gloated, her phone buzzed with new tabloid rumors.

“Winston Greer and Millie Caldwell Spotted Locking Lips at Restaurant En Route to Car. HowSweet!”

Her jaw dropped right after she saw the news.
