Xinghe quickly moved to launch a counter-attack, minutes later the attack was neutralized .
In fact, Xinghe managed to trace the signal back to the person's computer and hacked their computer instead .
Perhaps the other party knew they were no match for her so they barely put up a fight .
Xinghe easily took full control of their computer . She switched on their webcam to take a look at the mysterious hacker . The face that appeared on screen was one even Xia Zhi was familiar with .
He had a handsome face and there were excitement glistening in his eyes when he greeted Xinghe and Xia Zhi with a toothy grin, "Hello there!"
Xia Zhi gasped in utter surprise . "Wait, you're ET‽"
Other than his sister, the figure that left the biggest impression during that year's Hacker Competition was ET .
"The name's Ee Chen, ET is just a code name," Ee Chen said, smiling . He kept bouncing in his seat as if he could barely contain the excitable energy cooped up within him .
Advertisement"Why did you hack into my server?" Xinghe asked calmly .
She didn't expect the culprit to turn out to be him either but she hid her shock better than Xia Zhi .
"Because I want to say hi to you," Ee Chen replied matter-of-factly, "Do you know how hard it is to locate your IP address?"
"You can say hi to me at the lab . "
"But certain topics can only be discussed in private . Plus, I miss the rush of competing with you…"
"What topic?" Xinghe cut straight to the point .
Ee Chen asked with apparent disappointment, "Aren't you curious why I would be at the lab?"
"Sis, he works at the lab too?" Xia Zhi asked in shock .
"That's right, buddy! Fate has it that Miss Xia and I will be colleagues from now on . I'm going to assign myself to be her personal assistant," Ee Chen announced happily, "Therefore, Miss Xia, you have to come to me if you need any help . "
Xinghe stared at him coldly . "I will not work with random strangers . "
"But the project that you're doing requires men and women with a good head on their shoulders . I hate to brag but I doubt you'll be able to find a third person that is better than me at the lab . "
The second person being Xinghe herself .
"Regardless, that doesn't change my workplace philosophy . You are not needed," Xinghe rejected his offer flatly .
Ee Chen pouted like a disappointed child . "You have such low confidence in me?"
"Told you I don't work with strangers . "
This Ee Chen's background was too mysterious .
First, he appeared as Chui Ming's underling and then now he was working at Xi Family's lab .
Xinghe couldn't help but be cautious of his motives .
Therefore, she had stayed away from him the whole time she was at the lab . She knew he is good with computers but she didn't trust the guy .
Ee Chen muttered helplessly, "But I'm not really a stranger… I just happen to love challenges, an adrenaline junkie in a way . Furthermore, it was Xi Mubai's idea that I end up working at the lab . He offered me a job after he witnessed my talent, I accepted . That's all . "
So, he got Mubai's approval .
Xinghe's guard against Ee Chen slightly lowered . "Then, tell me, to what do I owe the pleasure of you purposely hacking into my server to set up this private meeting . "
There had to be something more than him seeking a challenge .
He could have told her that at the lab and she would've just taken it as a compliment .
Ee Chen cupped the side of his face in his palm and said with a smile, "I really didn't expect you would be so cautious and sensitive . The reason I sought you out this way is because I want to ask you a question . I come bearing no ill intent . "
"What question?" Xinghe asked, not knowing what he said next would shake her to her core .
Reigning in his excitement, Ee Chen looked at her seriously and asked with the obvious intention of feeling her out, "Have you heard of Project Galaxy 1 ?"
The literal translation of Xinghe's Chinese name is galaxy .Chapter end
