The Female Assassin Pretends to Be a Lamb in the Campus

Chapter 229

A young man stepped forward and said, "If it wasn't you, then it must be your friend, Mr. Qin, right? In that case, you need to inform him immediately to stop and restore the network."

Qiao Ying asked, "Do you need me to give you his phone number?"

Seeing Qiao Ying's confident demeanor, the middle-aged man stopped the young man and changed his tone from being forceful to gentle.

"We have already understood the situation. You are indeed a victim, and it's understandable that you want to prove your innocence. However, we cannot allow this approach. As a citizen of Hua Country, you should abide by the law. Your actions have already violated the national law."

He then changed the subject with a smile.

"But we didn't come here solely for this matter. The country appreciates talents and values their contributions, so we sincerely want to invite you to join our department."

Instructor Hou was shocked when he learned the purpose of their visit.

Join the 509 Supervision Bureau? That is the most formidable and mysterious department in Hua Country, and every member represents identity and capability. Although Qiao Ying is highly capable, considering her age...

But then Instructor Hou thought about the current state of the national network and realized, if not Qiao Ying, then who else could enter the 509 Supervision Bureau?

Even though Qiao Ying denied it, Instructor Hou believed in her abilities, even if he had never witnessed her display such skills before. But he remembered that Qiao Ying was a computer science major.

Qiao Ying asked, "How can you absorb talent without even knowing who did it? Is this how your department operates?"

Being mocked by a young girl?

Before they could reply, Qiao Ying continued, "Present me with evidence before speaking to me. Besides, I'm not interested in your department."

Rejected?!

Could it be that she doesn't know about the existence of the 509 Supervision Bureau? Does she not understand its significance? That's the only explanation because otherwise, they wouldn't be able to accept any other reason.

The 509 Supervision Bureau, an unreachable level that countless people would give anything to touch in their lifetime.

"You can take your time to consider this matter. There's no need to rush with your refusal," the middle-aged man said.

"As for the evidence you mentioned, I hope that once we find it, you can provide an explanation to the entire nation."

"Challenging the country is an extremely foolish thing to do."

Qiao Ying, however, seemed completely unconcerned and responded, "Do you need me to cooperate with you in finding the evidence?"

This thoroughly irritated the two men.

Finally, Instructor Hou understood the meaning behind his words.

He also realized the well-intentioned advice from Instructor Hou.

This young girl was indeed not an ordinary person.

And she was quite difficult to handle!

The middle-aged man said, "In that case, come with us. We'll need to take your computer and phone as well."

Qiao Ying looked at the two men silently, her expression revealing a hint of impatience and coldness. She locked eyes with the middle-aged man.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and Instructor Hou looked on with concern.

Finally, Qiao Ying spoke, "So, it's the 509 Supervision Bureau, right? The highest executive officer in your department is surnamed Yang, Yang Li, correct?"

The two men were taken aback. She not only knew about their department but also mentioned the name of their executive officer.

They looked at Qiao Ying with a hint of darkness in their eyes and cautiously asked, "How do you know?" Is she really just a student?

Qiao Ying picked up a nearby phone, seemingly about to make a call.

Qiao Ying was undecided about who to call, as she mentally went through a list of names.

The three of them, along with Xiao He, stared at Qiao Ying as she pondered over her phone.

Qiao Ying, for some reason, ultimately decided to put her phone down.

She said, "I will restore the internet tonight at 6 o'clock."

Finally, she admitted it.

The middle-aged man was extremely surprised, but resolutely refused, "There is no room for negotiation. The losses caused and the panic it would create are beyond what we can bear."

Qiao Ying's tone remained calm but conveyed a sense of control over the situation, "I am not here to discuss with you. If you refuse, I can leave now. For ten days or half a month, if you can provide evidence that I am responsible, I will let you handle it as you wish. But if you can't, how long the network remains paralyzed will depend on your abilities."

No one else dared to threaten the 509 Supervision Bureau and the entire country like she did.

The middle-aged man looked at the resolute Qiao Ying, pondered for a moment, and then went out to make a phone call.

Upon hearing that there was still no progress in resolving the issue of the network paralysis, the middle-aged man called the minister.

Before he could speak, the minister asked about the progress and said, "Qin Hanyue called me."

A few minutes later, the middle-aged man returned and glanced at Qiao Ying.

Then he said to his colleague, the young man, "Let's go."

As the two of them left, Instructor Hou breathed a sigh of relief and admired Qiao Ying wholeheartedly.

Hou Qing couldn't help but ask, "Do you... know the director of the 509 Supervision Bureau?"

Qiao Ying replied, "I don't know."

Hou Qing asked in disbelief, "Is that true or false?"

"They will definitely send someone to monitor you until this network problem is resolved. I'll stay with you today," Hou Qing said as he found a seat for himself.

For a day and a night, netizens could do nothing with their phones except watch that one video and make calls.

In this era of smartphone addiction, everyone was addicted to their phones like drugs. People kept flipping through their phones, watching the same video, and even the few normal TV channels were airing that video.

They were sick of it.

Those who hadn't seen the complete version of the surveillance video or pretended they hadn't were now forced by Qiao Ying to watch it clearly.

No one accused Qiao Ying of bullying the weak and causing the car accident.

Qiao Ying's actions caused a sensation throughout the country, not only attracting high attention from abroad but also causing a huge uproar in the hacker community.

But Qin Hanyue provided her with good cover.

Even students at Beijing University thought it was Qin Hanyue's doing.

Finally, at 6 o'clock in the evening,

all media platforms and social apps returned to normal operation.

There was no longer any news or reports about this incident online. Whether it was good or bad, not a trace could be found.

The major platforms temporarily closed some functionalities.

The internet trolls finally became obedient, with no place to vent and dared not to cause trouble anymore.

The next day, Qiao Ying went to school as if nothing had happened.

Her classmates expressed their concern and showed support for Qiao Ying.

However, Xiao He didn't come to class.

Qin Hanyue returned from his business trip after more than a week.

At the earliest opportunity upon landing, Qin Hanyue called Qiao Ying and set off to go to her place.

Before boarding the plane, he had messaged Qiao Ying, making plans to have dinner together that evening.

However, at this moment, Qiao Ying suddenly said she had something to attend to and wasn't at home.

Qin Hanyue's footsteps faltered.

Qin Yan: "What's wrong, Third Young Master?"

Qin Hanyue got into the car. "Let's go back to the Qin residence."

Qin Yan: "Huh? Aren't we going to Miss Qiao's place anymore?"

Qin Yan had accompanied Qin Hanyue on this business trip for over a week, witnessing Qin Hanyue's relentless efforts to finish two weeks' worth of work in just one week, all in order to return as soon as possible.

He hadn't had a good night's sleep.

Of course, such high-intensity work meant that his assistant couldn't expect an easy time either; his head was on the verge of going bald from the stress.

Filled with joy at the thought of coming back, why was he going back to the Qin residence?
