Warning! A hidden dragon has emerged!

Xia Ruoxi's application was quickly approved by the top leadership of the Dragon Kingdom.

Ling Yuyan immediately led her team, along with Qin Ling and a group of top network experts from Fengyulou, to quickly join the entire network's offensive and defensive front and confront the overseas hacker attacks.

No one could have predicted that Qin Ling, who was so young and had not yet graduated from university, was actually a hidden top figure in the hacker circle, ranking first.

"Ding-dong! ID Nightingale is online."

"The Lark is breaching the outer firewall and detecting Trojan vulnerabilities..."

"My God! In less than ten seconds, the first line of defense was torn apart by the lark, and the enemy's firewall collapsed instantly!"

The characters on the computer screen scrolled rapidly, and the offensive and defensive situation reversed in an instant.

Qin Ling's eyes were sharp, her expression calm, like a general commanding thousands of troops. Her fingers flew across the keyboard, leaving afterimages in their wake.

The movements were crisp and clean, without any unnecessary actions.

"All personnel, listen to my command!"

A cool, clear voice traveled through the headset across the entire combat channel.

"The red hacker team immediately rebuilt the firewall, and the rest of the hackers joined me in a full-scale counterattack to trace the source of the enemy."

"receive!"

The lark is a god in the hacker world.

Whether it was the network experts from the Dragon Kingdom or the network experts from the Wind and Rain Tower, they all obeyed his every command and were at his beck and call.

Previously, the red hacker team, which had been on the defensive and busy patching vulnerabilities, was finally able to extricate itself from the attack and launch a counterattack, patching vulnerabilities while strengthening its defenses.

Qin Quan watched quietly as her younger sister calmly and collectedly operated the equipment.

He recognized all the code characters scrolling on the screen, but he had no idea about the interconnected attack and defense logic or the tracing path.

Qin Ling was decisive and ruthless, as steady as a rock, completely different from her usual clingy and obedient self.

Just as the battle reached its climax, the Hidden Dragon Elder quickly approached Xia Ruoxi and whispered:

"Your Excellency, the central bank has sent an urgent message. We acted promptly and stabilized the 10 trillion yuan loss, but overseas hackers still managed to transfer 500 billion yuan of liquid funds. They are asking if we have any chance of recovering it?"

Five hundred billion!

While the loss of this huge sum may not seem like much to a country, it could shake the core interests of some companies, with potentially disastrous consequences.

Just as Xia Ruoxi was about to speak to comfort her, Qin Ling, who had overheard their conversation, spoke first:

"We can catch up."

"I have already locked the other party's terminal IP. I only need to crack the last layer of key to recover all the lost funds, not a penny less."

Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder's heart, which had been in his throat, instantly settled down, and his face lit up with wild joy. He was so excited that he almost lost his composure.

If this huge sum of money can be recovered, it would be an immense achievement that benefits the country and its people!

A faint, cold smile curved Qin Ling's lips, and a hint of disdain flashed in her eyes.

"Not only that, there was an unexpected bonus."

All eyes turned to her.

"I traced the source back to the other party's server terminal, and it turned out to be in the White Eagle Alliance."

Qin Ling typed rapidly on the keyboard with both hands.

"I remember that the Yuanlong Zhenren that my brother killed was a guest of honor of the White Eagle Alliance. This cyberattack against the Dragon Kingdom must have been premeditated."

As she spoke, Qin Ling's fingertips suddenly pressed the Enter key.

Stab it!

The computer screen instantly switched to a pop-up window for a private account, with a shockingly large balance number.

It amounts to a full two trillion US dollars.

"This is the White Eagle Alliance's private treasury account, with two trillion US dollars on it."

Qin Ling pointed at the computer screen and turned to look at Qin Quan.

"Bro, wanna go for something big?"

"you mean……"

Qin Quan instantly understood his sister's intention: to clear the other party's account.

The people around also realized this and were all taken aback by this crazy idea.

Two trillion US dollars, equivalent to fourteen trillion Chinese yuan.

If this were turned around...

Good heavens! I can't believe it, I can't believe it!

Qin Quan, however, had a sinister expression. Since the other party was unjust, he would be unjust in return.

"change!"

Without hesitation, he made the decision immediately.

"Remember to erase all traces of your activity so the other party can't track you down."

"Don't worry, I guarantee there won't be the slightest mistake."

Qin Ling smiled confidently, her fingers flying across the keyboard.

She had already implanted a deep Trojan horse into the other party's central server, operating entirely behind closed doors. The other party couldn't trace the source of the problem, and wouldn't even issue a warning that their account had been stolen.

By the time they discovered it, the two trillion dollars had already vanished.

thump! thump!

The elder and the surrounding crowd listened to the siblings' conversation with such tension that their hearts felt like they were about to jump out of their chests.

In less than five minutes, Qin Ling not only recovered the 500 billion yuan that had been transferred, but also emptied the White Eagle Alliance's private treasury of 2 trillion US dollars with a single click, transferring it all to the Hidden Dragon's exclusive corporate account.

"Done, job done."

The massive cross-border hacker war that captivated the entire internet came to a complete end in less than an hour.

With the crisis averted, everyone in the room was elated, except for Qin Quan, whose expression remained unchanged, his brows furrowed, and his doubts undiminished.

"With all the funds flowing into Flowing Gold Valley, the large number of disciples of the Hidden Immortal Sect scattered in the mortal world will inevitably gather there as well."

He had a clear mind and could analyze the overall situation.

"Previously, all the personnel of the Hidden Immortal Sect were dispatched to other regions. Now, they have been able to coordinate such unified operations, cross-border deployments, and synchronized withdrawals. This is definitely not something that Yang Zhentian alone could manage. There must be a high-ranking and powerful core figure within the Hidden Immortal Sect, secretly overseeing and directing operations."

"Junior Brother is right."

Xia Ruoxi immediately nodded in agreement.

"This is an organized and premeditated full-scale retreat. Second Junior Sister, you must immediately take Ling'er and the others from Fengyulou to Liujin Valley to thoroughly investigate their scheme and uncover all their tricks."

"no problem!"

Ling Yuyan agreed without hesitation. She would obey unconditionally as long as it could help Qin Quan.

Just as everyone was getting ready to go, Qin Ling's phone suddenly rang.

She glanced down at the caller ID and saw it was her master from Fengyulou calling. She immediately answered the call.

"Master, why are you calling at this time?"

"Ling'er, I have received a secret message. The mysterious senior who sealed your memories back then will appear in Flowing Gold Valley soon. If you have time, I will take you to see her."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ling was startled and immediately turned to look at Qin Quan and Xia Ruoxi's group, her eyes filled with solemnity.

"I'll go with you."

Su Qingyan, who had been standing silently, suddenly spoke, her expression indifferent.

"It's been a long time since I've been to Flowing Gold Valley, so I'll take this opportunity to visit."

"good!"

With Su Qingyan, a powerful Nascent Soul cultivator, personally protecting her, Ling Yuyan immediately put aside all her concerns, affectionately took her arm, and spoke with a hint of coquetry in her tone.

"With Master here, Ling'er is absolutely safe! Since I founded Fengyu Tower, you have never been to my territory. This is a good opportunity for me to give you a proper welcome."

"There's no time to lose, let's set off immediately."

Su Qingyan spoke calmly.

"no problem!"

Ling Yuyan turned around and gave Qin Quan some instructions.

"Junior Brother, I'll leave the domestic mess to you. As for the hidden dangers in Flowing Gold Valley, Master, Ling'er, and I will handle them together. Don't worry!"

"Thank you for your hard work, Master and Senior Sister."

Qin Quan bowed and clasped his hands in gratitude.

After a brief farewell, Su Qingyan took Qin Ling and soared into the sky, with Ling Yuyan following closely behind. The three figures sped through the air and disappeared into the horizon in an instant.
