“Lu?”

“Yes, Principal Lu from Beijing University.”

Upon hearing it was Principal Lu, Wen Xin put down what she was doing, narrowed her eyes, and walked out of the workshop to take the call.

“What can I do for you, Principal Lu?”

“It’s about Wen Huai. Young Marshall Mu called me and asked me to help Wen Huai with the withdrawal procedure. I’m not sure if you’re aware of this. Are you planning to send Wen Huai abroad?”

Principal Lu used this as a guess. If it were true, he had already prepared a persuasive argument to convince Wen Xin to give up the idea of sending Wen Huai away.

“Sorry, Principal Lu, this was a decision made by Mu Chengxi and Wen Huai. I respect their decision. Please proceed with Wen Huai’s withdrawal as per Mu Chengxi’s instructions. I have matters to attend to, so I’ll hang up now.”

Wen Xin quickly hung up the call with Principal Lu, not out of impoliteness but because her schedule was tight. She had no time to waste.

She was about to head back to the office when she hesitated and dialed Mu Chengxi’s number.

The phone rang only once before Mu Chengxi answered, chuckling softly, “Principal Lu called you?”

“Yes, what’s going on with you and Wen Huai?” Wen Xin leaned against the wall, pinching the bridge of her nose. Just hearing Mu Chengxi’s voice relaxed her tense body.

“Wen Huai wants to grow stronger. I’m sending him to the Ghost Domain,” Mu Chengxi replied calmly, not worried that Wen Xin would refuse.

“Wen Huai approached you? I planned to talk to him this afternoon, but with everything happening, it seems you two have already made plans.”

Wen Xin had noticed Wen Huai’s unusual behavior during her match with Jiang Linyan and when Mu Chengxi brought Wen Huai back. She knew Wen Huai would be affected, but she didn’t expect their plan to be so quick.

“No need to wait. I have already arranged it. I’ll personally take him to the Ghost Domain tomorrow. Don’t worry, I have people there, and Mu Nan will be with him. He’ll be safe.”

Mu Chengxi emphasized Wen Huai’s safety, worried Wen Xin might not be at ease.

Wen Xin smiled softly at Mu Chengxi’s reassurances. “I’m very assured. Since he’s going out to train and become stronger, there’s no need to protect him too well. He needs to experience setbacks to know his weaknesses. Let go a bit more, and he’ll grow faster. Just ensure he doesn’t die.”

Wen Xin understood the path to quick growth required enduring hardships. If Wen Huai wanted to grow, he needed to face challenges head-on. That’s the true way to grow.

Mu Chengxi was surprised by Wen Xin’s response, thinking she would be reluctant. He hadn’t expected her to be even more resolute than him.

“Alright, I have to go back to work. Stay safe and don’t act impulsively. I’ll hang up now.”

“Okay, take care.”

“Mm, I will.”

After hanging up, Wen Xin stood in the hallway for about a minute, clearing her mind. She then returned to her programming task with renewed focus.

This program was Wen Xin’s solo effort, with Chu Yunxuan assisting with minor tasks. The security network was crucial for both Independent State and herself, and she aimed for perfection.

Three days later, all the elders of the Independent State’s council sat in Alfredo’s office, waiting for an explanation from Alfredo.

During these three days, the hacker attacks had been relentless, causing the entire Jason family network to collapse. They had been completely passive and it was a stressful situation.

“Alfredo, it’s been three days. You promised us that the Doll would provide a network security system, but look now…”

As the elder spoke, Alfredo’s computer was attacked again.

“You see, the whole world is laughing at us. We’re leading in many fields globally, but our network security is our weak point. Now, all our secrets are exposed. Isn’t this your dereliction of duty?”

The third elder, whose son’s erotic photos were being spread online, spoke harshly. His family had become a laughingstock.

“If we don’t resolve this today, by midnight, hand over the man. We have ways to make him give up their company’s security system. We can’t sit idle anymore.”

Since the attacks, everyone had become paranoid, fearing they’d be the next target. They felt helpless against the hackers.

Seeing the malicious modifications to his computer wallpaper, Alfredo felt the same frustration. These hackers were too brazen, and they were helpless.

“I’ll go make a call and be right back,” Alfredo said, stepping out. He had to try calling Wen Xin, even if she might not answer.

After Alfredo left, the third elder stood up to check Alfredo’s computer, wanting to see the extent of the hack.

Upon seeing the scandalous photos of the elders having a good time, his legs almost gave out.

“This… this is too much!”

“What happened?”

The other elders gathered around. Seeing the incriminating photos, their faces darkened.

“These hackers are outrageous! Where did they get these photos?”

The office was in chaos as they tried to shut down Alfredo’s computer, only to find it was completely controlled by the hackers.

In desperation, one elder pulled the plug, causing a frown from the bald man standing by. It seemed the data was now entirely lost.

At that moment, Wen Xin had just finished testing her program. Satisfied with the security system, her phone vibrated.

Seeing Alfredo’s call, she lazily stretched before answering.

“Doll’s security system is complete. It can be installed within an hour. Make the arrangements to send the man to the airport.”
