Rebirth: My Home Has Become a Gathering Place for Young Women with a "Crazy" Spirit

Qin Lang knew that "Falcon" had a long-unused account on a certain hidden technical forum, and he also knew the password to that account, which Falcon had accidentally told him years ago.

If we could contact Eagle Falcon through that account, we might be able to help Old Z get rid of the attacker.

When Old Z saw that there was no news from Qin Lang, it was now his turn to get anxious.

Old Z: "Can you really help me?"

Qin Lang thought for a moment and replied, "I can't help you technically directly, but I might be able to find someone who can. However, you have to help me first before I can help you. First come, first served."

Old Z: "Are you kidding me? Why should I believe you?"

Qin Lang smirked: "I'm not interested in men."

Believe it or not, think it through yourself.

Old Z (N) fell silent again.

Qin Lang stopped urging him and put his phone on the coffee table. He leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest.

Su Yue and Ruan Zhihuan exchanged a glance, neither daring to speak.

Xu Han sat quietly to the side, her gaze fixed on Qin Lang's face, a hint of curiosity in her eyes. She noticed something: Qin Lang, despite facing such a huge problem, remained calm and composed, as if he were playing a game of chess, having already planned his next moves.

This kind of behavior is not what a freshman should be like.

Also, how did Qin Lang, a student, get to know these strange people like "Old Z" and "Eagle Falcon"? It's so weird...

About four minutes later, a QQ message popped up.

Old Z: "You help me sort out my problem first. If you can, I'll help you with yours for free, and I'll do it perfectly. If you can't, we'll pretend we never talked."

Qin Lang opened his eyes, looked at the message, and smiled again. "Okay, deal. I'll contact you once I find the person."

Old Z sent Qin Lang a log record containing information he had tracked, including the "attack time period, IP range, attack type," and any traces left by the other party.

Qin Lang didn't reply to Lao Z anymore. He logged out of QQ and opened the phone dialer.

Fortunately, he has a good memory; he still remembers the phone number from his past life.

In Qin Lang's past life, Eagle Falcon was practically a legendary figure in the online world. He was said to be a retired expert from a national cybersecurity laboratory, possessing unfathomable technical skills. However, this man had a peculiar habit: he never accepted commercial projects, only helping friends solve technical problems, and he valued relationships above all else, not money.

Qin Lang and he had a past life together, and they were practically friends. But that was in a past life.

He took a deep breath and dialed the number.

The phone rang three times before being answered.

A deep, husky voice came from the other end: "Hello, who is this?"

"The eagle, that's me, Qin Lang."

"Qin Lang?" The hawk on the other end was clearly taken aback for a moment, and asked, "Do we know each other? How did you get my number?"

"I've worked with you a few times before, and you gave me my phone number," Qin Lang said vaguely, knowing that Eagle Falcon couldn't possibly know about his past life anyway.

"Oh... what is it?" Eagle Falcon listened to Qin Lang's serious tone and didn't suspect anything.

Qin Lang briefly explained the situation, and added at the end, "I don't need you to personally attack anyone for me. I just want you to take a look at some log data to see if you can pinpoint the other party's identity or location."

There was a nearly ten-second silence on the other end of the phone before Falcon's voice came through again: "I can help, but I have a condition."

Qin Lang: "Go ahead."

Eagle: "How's your friend, what's his name, Old Z? How's his skill level?"

Qin Lang thought for a moment and said, "A person who can independently write a web crawler framework for all platforms must be quite skilled, right?"

"Alright. I'll take care of the attackers for you, but afterwards Old Z has to write something for me. I have a data collection need, and I haven't found a suitable person yet. He'll do this for me, it's a trade."

Upon hearing this, Qin Lang couldn't help but chuckle. Sure enough, these people's minds were filled with nothing but technology.

"Okay, I'll discuss it with him."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Lang returned to QQ and told Old Z about the conditions proposed by Eagle Falcon.

Old Z: "Falcon? Which falcon? You're not talking about the falcon that published 'Deep Penetration Testing in Practice' on the forum back then, are you?"

Qin Lang: "It's him. What, you know him?"

Old Z: "Know him? I'd like to. But who in the entire cybersecurity circle hasn't heard of Falcon? His technical skills are top-notch in our industry. If you can really get him to help me solve this problem, I'd do anything for you, even kowtow to you and call you grandpa, let alone help you with your technical assessment or write code for him."

Qin Lang looked at the message, smiled and shook his head, "Alright, I'll forward your log data to Eagle Falcon. I'll let you know when he has the results."

Old Z: "Wait! Don't back out yet, I have another question for you."

Qin Lang: "Speak."

Old Z: "What's your relationship with Eagle Falcon? As far as I know, someone like him isn't someone you can just hire."

Qin Lang thought for a moment and replied ambiguously, "It's nothing, I just did him a small favor before, and he owes me one."

Qin Lang wasn't exactly lying. In his past life, he had indeed done Yingjun a favor, even saving her life. Although that was in his past life, it wasn't unreasonable for Qin Lang to use it in this one.

Old Z: "...Okay. I've agreed to your request. Once Eagle has taken care of this trouble for me, I guarantee I'll handle it flawlessly. Whatever evidence you want, I can get it for you."

Qin Lang: "Okay. It's a pleasure working with you."

That evening, Qin Lang forwarded Old Z's log data to Eagle Falcon. Eagle Falcon was truly amazing, extremely efficient, and had results by the next morning.

Qin Lang was playing a puzzle game with Xu Han at home when Eagle called: "The attacker that Old Z is looking for has his IP address located in an office building in Binjiang District, Hangzhou. I tracked it further and found a feature in the toolkit this person used that highly matches the internal tools of a company called 'Tianyao Technology'."

"Tianyao Technology?" Qin Lang frowned; he didn't seem to have heard of this company before.

"Yes. This is a company that does online marketing and public opinion management; to put it bluntly, they run an online trolling business."

"The company's main clients are some MCN agencies and self-media influencers, providing them with 'public opinion maintenance' services."

"I suspect the reason your friend Lao Z's web crawler framework was targeted by them is because their online marketing business requires a lot of data collection capabilities, so they want to directly steal Lao Z's technical achievements."

After hearing this, Qin Lang felt a pang of anxiety; he suddenly remembered something.

Mo G Tou also has a large-scale online troll team, capable of organizing so many accounts to launch a massive attack on his comment section in a short period of time. Therefore, is there perhaps a company similar to Tianyao Technology operating behind Mo G Tou...?
