"They're here! They're coming for us! Ah—"

The screams became even louder and several girls' faces were completely drained of color.

Little Li's legs became wobbly and he stood up while trembling. "Ye...Chairman Ye, Ou…Director Ouyang, please go first. I'll be your backup."

A frown appeared on Ye Lingchens' forehead. "Alright, that's enough. I raised these wolves. Don't get your knickers in a twist."

"Ye... Chairman Ye, you raised them?" Everyone in Wanrong Technology looked at Ye Lingchen in bewilderment.

"Mm, I raised them," Ye Lingchen nodded. "Little Green, Little Gray, come here."

Under everyone's gaze, Little Green and Little Gray rushed to Ye Lingchen's side and circled him. Little White trotted over as well and immediately began clawing Ye Lingchen's trousers before crawling bit-by-bit into Ye Lingchen's arms.

Everyone in Wanrong Technology was stunned and their brains were incapable of processing everything.

"Aren't you afraid, Workaholic?" Hao Yun was constantly scrutinizing Ouyang Qing's reaction and smiled when she saw that Ouyang Qing's face turned pale without screaming.

Ouyang Qing let out a sigh of relief and glared at Hao Yun, "Don't you have anything better to do!"

At that point, the wolves finally dragged the bison over. They looked at Ye Lingchen and wagged their tails like a dog. While some of them had all feet on the ground and whimpered coyly.

"Wh... What a big bison." Everyone gasped and trembled with emotion.

It was only then that Ouyang Qing understood what Ye Lingchen said before about eating wild bison. That day's events had completely subverted her worldview yet again. Was Ye Lingchen really that f*cking strong?

"Chairman Ye, you're incredible. You even have a pack of wolves," Little Li gulped. His heart was palpitating when he looked at those green eyes.

"Chairman Ye, are you carrying a tiger?" a female employee asked as she pointed timidly to Little White, who was Ye Lingchen's arms.

"Yes." Ye Lingchen smiled and carried Little White to his shoulders, "Come on, train your vocal cords."

Little White raised its neck and howled. "Awoo—"

Ye Lingchen gave it an immediate slap. "Please behave. You're a tiger, not a wolf!"

Pffttt—

Everyone burst into uncontrollable laughter.

At the same time, there was another round of scolding on the internet.

Many of the Stick Nation's IP addresses were still up and running on the web, with insults coming from everywhere.

[Hahaha, shameless!]

[Pig head!]

[F*ck you. You're hacking our websites, right? Get the f*ck out!]

[You hacked so many of our country's websites, and you dare insult us! F*ck these motherf*cking twats! I'm f*cking pissed!]

[Where are our country's hackers? Hurry up and annihilate these people. They're disgusting!]

The commotion caused by the hacking of all those websites caused nearly the entire country to focus their attention on that matter. Everyone was against the same enemy, and the nation's people were overcome with wrath.

It was especially so for those who knew what actually happened. It was obviously Hyun-Min Kim's fault for returning to his homeland, deliberately concealing the facts, then twisting the truth to fit his narrative! Organizing a bunch of hackers to hack China's websites was utterly irresponsible and incredibly shameless!

Even the Stick Nation's diehard fans rose from their silence. They went from being admirers to detractors and began hurling insults too.

"Fight back! We have to fight back!"

"Yes, yes! Show them what it takes!"

"There are a lot of hackers in our country, but is there anyone great enough who can come out and take the lead? Rally us all to launch the attack! My computer skills aren't that bad and I might be able to help!"

"Count me in!"

"Hell yeah, we've got to take revenge!"

"Son-of-a-b*tch! What the flying f*ck are they doing now? Why is the website getting hacked again?"

The next moment, Weibo's service was disrupted and the entire website turned into a bunch of insults. [Hahaha, what a bunch of pigs. Can you do anything about it? Bunch of losers! Start begging for forgiveness!]

[Attention everyone, a new round of attacks is here!]

[Weibo is swamped with a whole load of insults!]

[The posting function isn't working anymore. My computer is crashing!]

[Damn it, why are the superstars calling us names?]

[Upstairs, the superstar has obviously been hacked. This is just too crazy!]

No one expected the battle to resume after ending less than half an hour ago. The intensity of the next wave had been raised by several levels too.

One could distinctly note that many verified and well-known celebrities on Weibo were starting to post a status: [Hyun-Min Kim, we made a mistake. We're willing to kneel and admit our wrongdoing.]

[We were uneducated. Sorry, Dads.]

The fans of those celebrities numbered in the millions, a testament to their dignity and reputation. At that moment, however, they were all put in their places as the entire network turned into chaos. It was obvious to everyone that their accounts had been hacked.

[Intolerable, completely intolerable!]

[F*ck. Are we going to fight to the death? Let's fight with them!]

[I really can't stand their tone. Continue fighting! What are you waiting for?]

[Ahhhhhhhhhh, my temper! If I knew how to hack, I'd have blasted their brains out already!]

Back at the four bases.

Big King, "Heh, a bunch of dogs. Just keep attacking!"

Little King, "Attack however you wish from all directions. Big King and I will create an opening at Wanrong Technology. Remain focused, don't stay in a group, and run away if you encounter any masters. Shift your target after making an attack. The point is to create chaos."

"Yes, Sir!"

"Roger that!"

Everyone was fired up and confident.

Big King and Little King were legends in the hacking community and could bring chaos to computer networks all over the world. If they focused their attention on one city, they could cripple it completely!

The other hackers were proud to be able to join forces with Big King and Little King. The thought of it made them incredibly excited.

Moreover, the tactics they used were obscenely brazen, as the method employed was roundabout harassment tactics. The network itself was a boundless world, and their techniques made it impossible for them to be caught—one could even say that there was no solution to counter it.

...

"It's starting again, but this time, it's serious." Little Li's attention returned to the computer and his expression was that of shock.

"The files of some companies are corrupted. Network communication software is also paralyzed, and all videos can't be watched. " Ouyang Qing frowned too. "They have a formidable expert this time around, and their methods are ruthless."

"This is just terrible. Many computer experts have been defeated. They're not a match at all."

"The defense system is utterly useless."

Everyone realized the seriousness of that wave and were able to sense their destructive power through intuition alone. Their dominance and ruthlessness left all of China feeling anxious.

In the first five minutes alone, a car ticketing website crashed and the data was all jumbled up! Following that was the immediate failure of various anti-virus software, as well as irreparable damage to computer hard disks and the crashing of Taobao...

The raging flames of war spread rapidly, destroying a large amount of information and causing significant losses.

"F*ck. Hackers from the Stick Nation should not be allowed to live under the same sky!" Miserable cries were heard everywhere.

As for the group of hackers, their excitement levels had reached its peak.

"As expected of our Kings! Such formidable abilities!"

"Hahaha, they're so awesome! They have the kind of skill that allows them to do whatever the hell they want!"

"It's like they're taking a walk in their back garden! Cool!"

"They don't need our help at all. No one can meet their match."

"Oh, oh, oh! Let's charge along with our Kings. Sabotage and teach them an unforgettable lesson!"

There were no restrictions on the internet, which allowed that group to be arrogant and act with wild abandon.

"Someone is watching us!" Ouyang Qing's heart thumped ever so slightly and a bad feeling surged into it. She quickly tapped the keys with both hands and said solemnly, "Little Li, hurry up and call for backup to block everything. Use the highest standard of defense!"

Two minutes later.

"Director Ouyang. We can't do it. The opponent's offensive is too fierce!"

"Damn, the other party is an expert. They're too strong!"

Ouyang Qing's face suddenly turned pale and she began to feel the strain. The attack was completely different from the previous one, and she...could not handle it at all!

Outside China.

Top hackers from various countries were also watching the battlefield.

The Golden Hand, a Murican hacker whose nickname derived from his ability to type quicker than all other hackers, was a well-known figure in the hacker world. At that juncture, he smiled and said, "Yo, Big King and Little King are attacking right now. Looks like they've located their target. Wanna go and sneak a lil' peek? Looks kinda interesting."

SKY, a notorious hacker from England, was like a mouse in the cyber world. Wanted in his country, he had been using the internet to make money and even committed cybersecurity crimes in the past. "Mate, I can't even hold Big King and Little off if I was the one facing 'em. Hahaha, bloody surprised to see such a lively performance. The information they're targeting is worth plenty. I'd like a slice of that pie too hehehe..."

THEONE was a veteran hacker from the Sun Nation and was an expert in cybersecurity. "There are only a handful of hackers in China and none can rank among the world's top five. Surely all they can do is just fend off an attack. The game is over!"

Alla, Deutscheland's top hacker, said, "Wow, there are many powerful hackers in China. Only Big King and Little King could exert some kind of control over the situation, and they had to do it together. Wanrong Technology looks quite interesting because their defense technology is very novel. Could it be possible that there's a formidable figure behind them?"

"Hahaha, if a master really is present, then Big King and Little King will have a tough battle."

"How about it then? Anyone else wants to get involved?"

"Not interested. I'm just watching it for the excitement. I keep feeling like there's a pair of eyes watching the battlefield, but I can't find anything even though I searched the entire network. Such a drag."

"Coward. You're just a coward. Even if there are experts in China, they'll still lose. The Stick Nation's group of hackers are organized. They have clear goals, clever methods, and directed a group of experts to disrupt the situation. Even if they're not fighting for fun, the most powerful of individuals will feel unable to strike back and are left restrained."

"I feel like a coward too, but I'm not sure if it's a master hacker from China. After all, with such a big network, there must be someone like us hiding in a corner and watching the situation secretly."

"If you guys can't find it, then this person must surely be a force to be reckoned with!"

...

At that moment, Ye Lingchen's fingers danced on the table and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. The big fish finally took the bait...
