Chapter 718 - 716: True Feelings Revealed
Chen Tianlong was basically frozen there, feeling like he had been dreaming all day. If Lin Wushuang’s scandalous photo incident was real, he could believe it.
But now, not only did Lin Wushuang say things she never did before, they shared a heartfelt embrace for the first time and kissed for the first time — these events were beyond Chen Tianlong’s expectations, leaving him astonished.
However, as he was thinking, Lin Wushuang’s lips were already rubbing against his. If Chen Tianlong had no feelings for Lin Wushuang, he might have pushed her away, but deep inside him, the love he had long suppressed exploded in that tender kiss.
At this moment, Chen Tianlong had cast aside everything, including ignoring Lu Xiaoyu’s presence, focusing only on savoring the warmth exchanged between him and Wushuang. Guided by Chen Tianlong, Lin Wushuang completed her first proper kiss.
This act persisted for a full ten minutes. On the side, Lu Xiaoyu could hardly breathe and had to step aside, staring blankly into the distance, unsure of what she was thinking.
If Chen Tianlong wasn’t lost in the passion with Wushuang, he would have noticed Lu Xiaoyu’s abnormality.
Seemingly mischievous, little Xiaoyu concealed deep emotions in her heart. Her love for Chen Tianlong started slowly budding from the day she met him.
Every joke, every absurd confession afterward was a profound expression of her cherished love deep within.
The two finally stopped, looking at each other’s lips. Lin Wushuang became shy, her previous courage driven by fear and sadness, now calmed by Chen Tianlong’s embrace.
Looking at this man who rarely spoke and showed no sign of affection, her face turned beet red, almost like a cooked lobster.
At this moment, just as Lin Wushuang was about to push Chen Tianlong away, he hugged her tightly again and whispered in her ear, "Wushuang, don’t worry, I’ll handle everything."
In an instant, all the awkwardness and shyness vanished, replaced by her firm embrace of Chen Tianlong, cherishing every second of this precious moment.
Lin Wushuang knew that perhaps after today, they would return to being as usual, a bodyguard and an employer. Chen Tianlong still wouldn’t belong to her, or wouldn’t be as he was now, completely hers.
After about half an hour, Chen Tianlong took Lin Wushuang back to the Lin Family mansion during school hours. Given the situation now, Wushuang couldn’t go to school.
This best friend, Lu Xiaoyu, not wanting Wushuang to be lonely at home, followed her back.
As for other matters, for the Lin Family of South Sea, a call from Lin Batian usually resolved everything.
After settling the young lady, Chen Tianlong directly drove to the school and headed to the school’s broadcast information center. By then, the technician sent by Lin Batian had already arrived and was working hard on the website rescue.
However, after more than an hour of struggle, there were still no results.
The reason was simple: the opponent’s hacking skills were too strong, and their network technology was incomparable. The entire database of South Sea No.1 Middle School’s campus network was occupied, and even the teaching system was locked by the hacker. Although no changes or extreme illegal operations had occurred yet, it was a security risk.
After inspection by the Lin Group’s information center head, they discovered that the hacker’s techniques were too strong, locking all management permissions, even the authority to change the underlying code, making the technicians helpless.
Due to the security of school data, the principal of South Sea, Situ Feng, directly reported the issue to the city’s Information Security Bureau.
About an hour later, a small team arrived, including three experienced network security engineers.
Despite their collaboration, they still couldn’t solve the issue after working the whole morning.
Finally, they suggested rebooting the server and running a virus scan. But another problem arose; about sixty percent of the database was already bound with hacker viruses, and the underlying data program had been locked—an intricate and complex method. Forceful rebooting could lead to substantial data loss, potentially destroying South Sea No.1 Middle School’s internal records and various research data.
Situ Feng pondered for a moment and then said, "No matter what, the server must not be rebooted, otherwise the loss would be enormous. Some data is not recoverable, impacting not just the records, but causing recent research data shortages, leading to massive project suspensions or terminations. This loss is just too great, so we should wait."
National Information Security Bureau technicians agreed, acknowledging they had no solution at present. The only thing left was to wait for the perpetrator to remove the virus or unlock the permissions.
They never imagined that the enormous problem which baffled all technicians and even the national Information Security Bureau personnel was caused by a 19-year-old girl from South Sea No.1 Middle School, who now finally realized the error of her ways.
This person was Liu Ting, once hailed as a computer expert in the Assassin Group, but later framed by Xiaosi from the Hacker Alliance.
She never expected Chu Jingyun to commit such a despicable act, thinking he was merely trying to access some related study materials on the campus network.
After all, Liu Ting knew that aside from his interest in hacking, Chu Jingyun also had a keen interest in medical new drug research, with notable skills and achievements.
Chen Tianlong went over to inspect the locked database on the server and the indecent photos of Lin Wushuang on the website, filled with overwhelming anger.
At this moment, he wanted nothing more than to smash the computer, so no one else could see those pictures.
"Principal, how should we handle Wushuang’s photos? I think these are fake. They can’t be real — Wushuang isn’t this kind of person," Chen Tianlong hurriedly explained.
"Chen Tianlong, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but as you can see now, my hands are tied. We can only wait for the hacker to back off on their own."
Situ Feng was also distressed. As the principal, he didn’t know how to explain this to everyone, particularly since the person involved is the heiress of the South Sea No.1 Middle School’s shareholder family.
If it were an ordinary person, he could transfer them to another school after the incident blew over.
But Lin Wushuang enjoyed excellent perks at the school, and since this is part of her family’s holdings, on what grounds could he make her leave? However, if she stayed, it would greatly affect the school’s reputation, leaving him in a difficult position.
Situ Feng thought for a moment and continued, "We haven’t obtained the original pictures yet, so we can’t verify the authenticity. I believe those photos were tampered by hackers, but my belief is useless; we need concrete proof that can convince everyone, otherwise, I fear this matter will be hard to quell."
