Chapter 245
The Mu family can be said to be the number one business empire in the imperial capital.
But then again, because they are the descendants of a general’s family, even after they have gone into business, they still have a lot of influence in other places.
Coupled with the fact that Mu Heqing had won many honours, was too highly decorated and protected by the state, his connections were extremely terrifying.
This was something that the Nie family and the Xiu family could not compare with the Mu family.
Therefore, Mu Shenzhou was somewhat puzzled.
Mu Heqing was retiring and choosing an heir in the Mu family, who else was worthy of meddling and directing the affairs of the Mu family?
I am afraid that even Elder Nie is not qualified.
Seeing Mu Shenzhou’s reaction, Mu Weifeng pondered a little: “You don’t know?”
“I don’t know.” Mu Shenzhou thought that Mu Weifeng was testing him and his tone was a little colder, “You also said that Mr. Mu Cheng came before me, it’s not like I can foretell.”
Mrs. Mu had also repeatedly reminded that among the other candidates for the heir, the one he had to be most careful of was Mu Weifeng.
Mu Weifeng was two years younger than him, twenty years old, and still a student at the Imperial Capital University.
Imperial Capital University is the number one institution of learning in China and has a high prestige in the international academic world.
Imperial Capital University only looks at the strength of its students and does not care if they are from a large family.
What’s more, Mu Weifeng had a younger sister who was not badly off either.
The only difference is that Mu Weifeng’s parents died early and he has no one to help him.
A doctor has predicted that he will not live past the age of 30.
A person with a short life expectancy is not a good successor to the Mu family.
“Grandpa’s saviour.” Mu Weifeng coughed a few times lightly, “A divine doctor.”
After a pause, he added, “Mr. Mu Cheng said that without this divine doctor, grandfather would most likely have been gone at the beginning of this year.”
“Grandfather admired this divine doctor and even moved to pa*s the Mu family directly to this divine doctor, except that the divine doctor had no intention of doing so.”
Hearing this, Mu Shenzhou’s tightly furrowed brows loosened, “I know who it is.”
It was no secret that the Meng family had healed for Mu Heqing, even Madam Mu knew about it.
But even Madam Mu only knew that it was a very powerful divine doctor from the Meng family, she didn’t know who it was.
When Mu Shenzhou was communicating with Meng Jingxiang, he was lucky enough to learn the name of this divine doctor.
He was a member of the Dream Family’s direct lineage, and was still very young, yet his medical skills were so exceptional that he was no worse than the older generation.
Mu Heqing had a very high opinion of this divine doctor and had become friends with her.
If it was Mu Heqing’s life-saving benefactor, then it was not surprising that he interfered in the matter of the Mu family’s heir.
Mu Weifeng was not sure, but he did not bother to ask.
A few minutes later, Mu Cheng, who had left earlier, came back.
Mu Shenzhou wondered if it was his illusion that Mu Cheng seemed to have given him an extra look.
“The first a*sessment, set at the end of this month.” Mu Cheng handed the document in his hand to the butler at the side, “Please make sure that all the young masters and young misses arrive on time, the content of the examination is right here, we won’t talk more about it then.”
The butler distributed the documents, and everyone got their own copy.
Everyone looked serious when they saw the content of the test.
“Mr. Mu Cheng.” Mu Shenzhou suddenly spoke, “Are we still not allowed to see grandpa?”
“You will be able to see him after you pa*s the first test, this is the Mu family’s family rule.” Mu Cheng said, “That’s how the old man came to be too.”
In the last century and earlier during the imperial dynasty, this was how the Mu family’s heirs were a*sessed by rules and regulations.
This was also to ensure that the Mu family’s internal corruption would not decline, and that even if there were individual descendants who were not right-minded, the entire Mu family would not fall.
Mu Shenzhou pursed his lips and sat down.
He had expected that Mu Heqing would come out and personally give them the word.
Before Mu Cheng left, he stopped in front of Mu Weifeng: “Young Master Weifeng, your health is not in a good condition, I suggest you go for medical treatment to avoid problems in the examination.”
Mu Weifeng smiled faintly, “Thank you Mr. Mu Cheng for the reminder, I will when I have the chance.”
Mu Cheng nodded before leaving.
**
Shanghai City.
Eleven o’clock at night.
Even late at night, this cosmopolitan city was still lit up with traffic.
But not including a ruined villa in the northern suburbs.
Around this villa, it looks calm, but in reality there are quite a few people hiding.
Only they were all dressed in tight black leather clothes, blending in with the night.
These were the elites that the Bevin family had trained.
There are ancient martial arts in China, and there is also a special way of martial arts in o continent.
Those mercenaries are no less powerful than ancient martial artists.
Especially for a big family like the Bevan family, they spent a lot of money to recruit some hunters on the list.
The villa.
The ground floor hall.
Rita sat on the sofa, her eyebrows knitted and her expression a little impatient.
She had always had the temper of a great lady, and disliked waiting on people very much.
“Miss.” The middle-aged man came from outside and said respectfully, “Don’t worry, everything is ready, just waiting for the First Poisoner to arrive.”
Rita waved her hand, indicating that she knew.
Then she turned her head and began to introduce the two people next to her to Ying Zidian: “This is Mr. Lance Eden. Mr. Eden, the forty-third on the hypnotist list.”
“This is Ms. Bessie Hillman. Ms. Betsy Hillman, the thirty-third on the a*sa*sin list.”
This was the highest ranked hunter the Bevan family could recruit.
After all, most hunters were arrogant, especially the high ranked ones, who had no shortage of money and power.
Rita was able to bring in the forty-third on the Hypnotist List and the thirty-third on the Killer List, still because the Bevin family was strong enough.
Apart from the too unbelievable Laurent family, the Bevin family was one of the three major plutocrats in O Continent and was not small in power.
Ying’s eyes lingered on Lance Eden for half a second and nodded, “Hello.”
The highest ranked hypnotist she had seen so far was Yu Xuesheng.
This one ranked second in the hypnotist list, so powerful that just by looking at you on the road, you were able to instantly fall into his hypnosis.
You don’t even know how you were hypnotised.
Most hypnotists are also psychologists, because they are able to control each other’s psychology very well and know each person’s weaknesses.
In this way, they are able to instantly break through the other person’s defences and hypnotise them.
Her hypnosis technique was something she had learnt from others when she had last come to Earth, and had not used it a few times, and was very rusty.
Yesterday, in dealing with those five ancient martial artists sent by Meng Jingxiang, she hypnotised them so smoothly, also because she had beaten them first.
Having broken them down, it was easy to hypnotise them once their nerves were relaxed.
That is why hypnotists are second only to poisoners in terms of fear.
There are evil hypnotists who will even hypnotise pa*sers-by in the streets and encourage them to commit suicide.
However, the hypnotist is also an existence that can barely restrain the poisoner.
The two hunters on the list were not sure what the girl’s status was, but they knew that someone who could make Rita treat her so solemnly was 90% likely to be a hunter even higher up the list than they were.
Both of them greeted respectfully and guarded aside from Lita.
“Three hours to go.” Rita waved towards the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man complied and went to move a four-square table over.
Then, out of nowhere, Lita carried a box and placed it on the table.
She suggested excitedly, “There are just four of us, shall we play mahjong?”
“……”
**
It was also about this time.
The Ying family.
Zhong Manhua went to bed early because she had been having residual problems with her nerves and would regularly have nervous breakdowns.
And in the other bedroom, the light was still on.
Ying Yuexuan sits at her desk and instead of reading, she turns on her computer.
On the phone screen next to the keyboard, Ying Yuexuan’s chatting interface with that senior brother of hers at Yilan Public School.
[[Code.docx]]
[This is the code you want, it’s able to invade someone’s computer in a short period of time, so keep it well, but what do you need this for?
Ying Yuexuan pursed her lips and replied.
[My qq number was stolen, there is very important information on it, thinking of getting it back.
Anyway, this code is very unsafe because it invades quickly and also destroys the firewall of the computer.
Ying Yuexuan replied “Thank you, brother” and then opened a word document and typed the code into the computer.
After pressing the enter key, the program started to run.
After a few seconds, a box popped up on the screen.
[Connected to desktop-se3btnk]
Ying Yuexuan knew that this was Ying Zidian’s computer model.
Naturally, she hadn’t added any of Ying Zidian’s contact details, but they were in the same year group.
Using this program, she was able to establish a long-distance connection.
Although she couldn’t fully understand the program, it didn’t stop her from using it.
She thought it would take a while to hack into Ying Zidian’s computer, but it didn’t even take a second.
This proved that Ying Zidian’s computer did not have a good firewall, the most common kind on the market.
Chapter 246
However, even if a normal programmer was hired to reinforce it, not to mention an ordinary firewall, it would not be able to block the intrusion of this program.
That senior brother of hers is quite advanced in computer technology.
Ying Yuexuan also told the others in her team that her brother had been recruited by the Anonymous Hacker Alliance.
No one is unaware of the Anonymous Hacker Alliance, the world’s number one hacker organisation.
The best hackers are all concentrated in Anonymous.
In particular, the president of Anonymous is a myth in the hacking world.
But no one has seen him so far, nor do they know whether he is a man or a woman.
That’s why Ying Yuexuan was so relieved to have hacked into Ying Zidian’s computer.
She had tested the attitude of Zhong Manhua and Ying Zhending several times.
But she knew too little about Ying Zidian now.
She would never fight an unprepared battle, let alone make a rash move.
Ying Yuexuan pursed her lips and clicked on the next step.
Once she connected to Ying Zidian’s computer, she could control it remotely.
She could see all the files, history and chat records that Ying Zidian had left on her computer.
However, after she clicked Next, the screen did not move for a long time, as if it was dead.
She clicked again.
There was still no response.
Ying Yuexuan frowned.
Just when she was about to check what was wrong, the computer suddenly made a sharp “tick” sound.
The sound was so loud that it penetrated the door of the room.
Even Zhong Manhua in the next bedroom was woken up.
She wrapped her shawl around her and came out to knock on the door, “Xiao Xuan, what are you doing?”
“Mom, it’s nothing.” Ying Yuexuan was startled, “Wasn’t I preparing for that competition? I accidentally pressed the wrong key, I’ll restart the computer and it’ll be fine.”
“You should go to bed early, don’t be too tired.” Zhong Manhua was still very sleepy and didn’t go in, “If you need any help, remember to tell mum.”
Having said that, she went back.
Ying Yuexuan breathed a sigh of relief.
When her attention returned to the computer again, her expression changed all of a sudden.
Except for the box where she had written the program, her desktop became a blank, with only a recycle bin left, and all other files, including the icon of my computer, were gone.
But in the recycle bin, there was nothing.
Ying Yuexuan’s finger twitched and she quickly clicked on the start button with her mouse.
It was still blank.
Even the standard software that comes with a factory-set computer is not there.
Ying Yuexuan’s nerves exploded in an instant.
On this computer, she had saved a lot of data for scientific research, many papers she had written with great effort, and other important things.
Moreover, there was no way to save some things to a USB stick or a cloud drive.
Now if all these things are gone ……
Ying Yuexuan didn’t even dare to think about the following, her fingers trembled even more as she tapped on WeChat.
[Senior, what’s going on, after I used this program of yours, not only did I not succeed in invading the computer that stole my qq number, but instead I got invaded? All of my files are gone.]
It took a few minutes for the message to come back from there.
[Impossible, right? This program is one-way, how can your computer be invaded? Unless the other party is a very sophisticated hacker who can use your program for anti-intrusion.
Ying Yuexuan looked at the message and her eyes faintly stared.
Ying Zidian was a very powerful hacker?
Even more powerful, could she be more powerful than her senior brother?
Before Ying Yuexuan could return from her thoughts, another message came in ten seconds later.
[Or, did you make a mistake when you entered the program? As I said, this program is very unstable, it’s a one-time program, if you enter it wrong, your own computer is going to have problems, it’s not a counter-invasion.]
Ying Yuexuan froze for a moment.
Afterwards, she opened her program bar and cross-referenced the programs in the word document once again.
When she reached the penultimate line, she really found that she had mistyped a letter.
But before that, she had cross-referenced it five times, word by word, in a spirit of caution.
She was not good at anything else, but she had a good memory and could almost never forget.
Ying Yuexuan was sure that she hadn’t made a single mistake.
What happened?
There was another “ding” on WeChat.
[I’ll see if I can help you recover.
Ying Yuexuan’s heart dropped.
[I’m sorry, brother.
Then, she handed over control of her computer to the people on the internet.
But ten minutes had pa*sed, and her computer still hadn’t returned to normal.
[Sorry, it’s really not working, you don’t have anything important on this computer, do you?
Ying Yuexuan suppressed the sourness inside her heart, she rubbed the corners of her already red eyes and replied.
[Nothing, brother, I asked for it myself, I don’t blame you.
At that time, this senior brother of hers had given her several programs, but this was the only one that could fully manipulate the computer on the opposite side.
Or was she so careless that she had entered one letter wrong.
If even this senior brother of hers couldn’t recover it, it was useless for her to take it to the repair shop.
After sitting for a while, Ying Yuexuan shook off her head and shuffled into bed.
**
Northern suburbs.
In the abandoned villa.
Ying Ziyan’s eyelashes twitched as she slowly reached out and drew a card.
Without looking either, she put the card down in front of her.
Rita padded over and saw thirteen all different tiles.
She hadn’t been learning mahjong for very long, only half a month, but she knew that the tile was a thirteen tile.
It was a very difficult type of tile to win, as it could not be touched or eaten, and each tile was drawn by itself.
“No way? You can win with this?” Rita pointed at the thirteen cards, “You’re cheating!”
“Nope.” Ying yawned, “That would be more trouble.”
She wouldn’t have the leisure to use any divine calculation ability while playing cards.
Both Lance and Bessie were in awe.
The big man was worthy of a big man, and look at the standard of self-touch, both higher than them.
“No more games no more games.” Rita was angry and grunted, “No point, I can’t win.”
The middle-aged man hurriedly put the mahjong away and took it down.
“Time’s up too.” Lita glanced at her phone again, “I’d like to see what this First Poisoner is like.”
Lance and Bessie stood up and proceeded to guard Lita’s sides.
Ying leaned against a side wall, her eyes slightly lowered.
She reached for her phone and tapped her finger on the screen.
At the same time, the computer she kept in Wen’s bedroom shut down automatically.
Ying Ziji stretched out slightly and pinched the human skin mask on her face.
One had to admit that the human skin mask created by Fu Yunshen’s high-tech 3d printer was really better than some of the disguisers on the charts.
Until now, Rita hadn’t even noticed that she was disguised.
She had also looked in the trading section of the nok forum and there were other 3d printers, but none of them could compare to Fu Yunshen’s.
Ying Ziyi pondered.
As the clock ticked down to two o’clock, light footsteps sounded from outside.
The night breeze followed and the bodies of the other three people, apart from Ying Zidian, tensed up.
Whether they were poison masters or not, as long as they were number one on every hunter list, they were existences of the utmost terror.
The footsteps sounded lower than one another, lower to none before a figure appeared in the villa’s hall.
It was a woman with a tall figure.
Her whole body was shrouded in black, even her hair and face were protected tightly, only a pair of eyes remained.
Ying Zidian opened her eyes and raised her eyebrows slightly.
She had indeed been dressed like this before.
What do they call it now?
Oh, Arabian robes.
She used to have no aesthetic sense, but it was mostly a matter of convenience.
The woman didn’t look at the others either, her eyes looking straight at Rita: “Where are the ninja flowers?”
She exited with a voice like water and a song, without the gloom of the poisoner.
Lita raised her hand and a middle-aged man stepped forward, holding a box containing the frozen Ning Shen flowers.
The woman just looked at it, indifferently: “In three days, I will get rid of the poison for your father.”
With that, she stretched out her hand and was about to take the box.
“Please wait a moment.” Ying stood up straight, “Before you take the Ning Shen Flower away, there is another very important matter.”
The middle-aged man’s expression changed for a moment, “Miss.”
Apart from the neuro-viral pill master at number three on the list, the other poison pill masters could be said to be temperamental.
If they offended the number one poison master, then none of them would be able to or get out today.
Rita raised her hand, gesturing for him to be quiet.
“You’ve disappeared for too long, and we can’t really just a*sume you’re the First Poison Master.” Ying took out a bottle with a snack in it, “So, I’m also going to trouble you to show off your powers and scare us a bit, senior.”
She closed the box in the middle-aged man’s hand and handed the bottle over, “Please do.”
