I was exposed for adding my female boss to my group of female friends.

Lu Qianzi hugged her arm tightly: "Please be my sister-in-law."

……

In the darkness, Xia You dialed a phone.

Soon, Chen Ya's voice came from the other end: "Hello?"

"Someone is investigating you," Xia You said bluntly.

"Who?" Chen Ya asked.

Xia You's expression suggested she wanted to laugh, but she didn't dare to:

"The IP address is from Peking University, Eagle's Nest."

There was no response for quite a while.

Xia You teased, "How do you feel now that you've been investigated by the organization you created yourself?"

Chapter 210 A qualified hacker should not be swayed by prejudice.

"How do you feel about being investigated by the organization you created yourself?"

Chen Ya remained silent for a long time.

It's like Yang Kang meeting Yang Tiexin—he wouldn't even recognize his own father.

I laughed in anger and didn't want to say anything.

After a long pause, Chen Ya finally asked the question that concerned him most at that moment:

"Which floor did they investigate to?"

“The third floor,” Xia You said.

Chen Ya was silent for a while before speaking:

"This is the worst one ever, right? In the past, the lowest level they investigated was the fourth floor."

"really."

Xia You nodded in agreement.

Chen Ya was investigated by the Eagle's Nest, which he founded himself. What he cared about most was not why they were investigating him, but rather that these people were too incompetent.

He's really embarrassed himself.

They've only cracked the third layer; their skill level is considered relatively low among hackers.

That's only considered a beginner-level hacker skill.

Of course, this "beginner" should be in quotation marks.

Judging from Chen Ya and Xia You's skill level, 90% of the world's hackers can only be considered "entry-level".

“Eagle's Nest needs a thorough overhaul,” Chen Ya said. “When are you going to Peking University?”

"Next year," Xia You said.

She's only a senior in high school this year.

“Next year when you go to Peking University, you should really clean up Eagle’s Nest. These guys are just too incompetent,” Chen Ya repeated.

Technically speaking, being bad is the original sin.

Xia You suddenly remembered that her resentful relative was also from this year's Eagle's Nest team, and she couldn't bear it, so she found an excuse for him:

"Perhaps they have a deeper prejudice against you, so they thought they had found the real answer after checking the third level."

"A qualified hacker should not be swayed by prejudice," Chen Ya said.

Okay. You have a point.

Xia You picked up a thick-covered notebook from the table next to her and wrote down Chen Ya's words: "A qualified hacker should not be swayed by prejudice." Then she added:

"They're so stupid. And they call themselves Peking University students?"

"That's exactly what I meant."

Xia Yingji, far away on the Peking University campus, suddenly sneezed.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling weak?" Si Chaoliang asked gloatingly from the side.

"Climb, climb, climb," Xia Ying responded rudely.

The Witch Master was busy sending messages to Young Master Xu.

He just sent all the materials to Xu Haoyu in one go, but Xu Haoyu hasn't responded for a long time.

Just now, they sent three words to the Witch Lord:

This will definitely be reported.

……

Cao Cao had seventy-two suspected tombs.

The number of false rumors circulating on the internet about Chen Ya's identity is likely much higher than that.

Moreover, each fake message was encrypted multiple times.

Including that thing that Eagle's Nest just found out about.

This results in each fake identity being made to look exactly like the real one.

The "number of layers" is a secret code known only to Xia You and Chen Ya.

One layer of encryption is referred to as "layer one" by the two; cracking three layers of encryption is called "layer three".

Xia You added a little "ingredient" to each level. As long as one level was cracked and the hacking wasn't done properly, Xia You would be hacked back in, allowing her to obtain all the information about the intruder.

If someone manages to crack the 10th level, they will be considered a professional team or an expert.

In this situation, a certain department that cannot be named will be mobilized.

This usually either triggers an online battle or leads to the capture of an unsuspecting, highly skilled individual.

As the best hacker in the entire capital, Xia You claims to be playing with technology, but in reality, he's playing with psychology.

Those who were searching for Chen Ya's identity believed they had found the truth with each layer they cracked.

The more they crack, the more convinced they become of the false information they possess.

This tactic was originally intended by the two of them to deal with those restless external forces.

Later, when the external forces were frightened, these convoluted mechanisms gradually ceased to function properly.

Now it's become more of an IQ assessor.

The shaman and his companions were assessed as "idiots who only found the third level".

Chen Ya suddenly remembered something and asked, "How many floors were there in total?"

Xia You gave a cold laugh: "I forgot."

"Why are you still sneering after forgetting? I thought you were going to give me a cool answer."

"Hmph, I don't remember the exact number, but it's definitely more than twenty floors."

Xia You dragged the mouse, and a webcam output appeared on the computer screen.

On the screen was the smug-looking Witch Lord, and Xia Yingji sitting to the side.

There were two other girls next to him, both of whom were quite pretty.

Xia You made some adjustments, and the audio and video were transmitted.

"...Qianzi, you should be careful with your brother. People who care a lot about their image usually like to cause trouble."

"I will be careful."

"..."

Xia You wrinkled her nose and pursed her lips dismissively.

The Witch Lord was still boasting to Liu Ruying, completely unaware that his actions had been fully exposed to Xia You.

The girl lazily moved her fingers, and several outlines appeared on the screen, capturing the faces of several people a few times.

She pressed a few more buttons, and the database immediately recognized her.

Soon, the identities of the Witch Lord and the others were clearly laid out before the girl.

"Witch Lord, male, a top student from Eagle's Nest, a 'master' hacker... Hmm, this guy needs to be kept in check."

"Xia Yingji, male, a complete idiot, from the Xia family, he's my cousin."

"Si Chaoliang, male, student council president, seems to be a new member of Eagle's Nest today. How did they let him in with his IQ?"

"Lu Qianzi, female, a student at Jinghua University. Do you know her? Oh, you do. She's your half-sister."

"Liu Ruying, female, from the Liu family, known as the school beauty. Hmm, she is indeed quite pretty..."

Chen Ya immediately said:

"Is she pretty? I don't think she's prettier than you."

"Who asked you?"

The girl placed the laptop on her lap with an air of arrogance, but inwardly she felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

"In short, these incompetent guys investigated you, and just now they even packaged your information and sent it to someone named Xu Haoyu. Your identity is at risk of being exposed. For safety's sake, do you want to 'wake up' the team and raise the security level to the next level?"

Chen Ya sighed and said, "No need, this is enough."

After saying that, he added, "Even when my security level was at the highest level, I still almost lost my life. You can only be a thief for a thousand days, but you can't be a thief for a thousand days. If you only focus on defense, you will always be somewhat passive."

Xia You frowned: "But we can't be completely unprotected, can we?"

“So I’ve changed my approach to self-protection,” Chen Ya said. “To some extent, revealing part of my identity has actually made me safer.”

"I don't quite understand."

Do you know Iron Man?

Are you talking about the one Downey starred in?

“Yes, I could actually develop a suit of armor for myself like him. But there’s no need,” Chen Ya said. “What’s wrapped under the iron skin is actually the spirit, and the spirit and thought are the hardest things to destroy.”

"So what do you want to do?"

"sleep."

The other end of the phone was disconnected, and Xia You smiled slightly.

That was his usual way of evading the issue; suddenly he started rambling incoherently.

Xia You didn't mind. She was used to it.

Then, her smile froze slightly, and she frowned.

She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but before she hung up the phone, she thought she heard a woman's voice on the other end.

She struggled internally for a long time before finally making up her mind.

He subtly moved his finger and opened an unspeakable page on the laptop.

The number on the page is the machine code of Chen Ya's mobile phone.

His finger hovered in the air, hesitated for a few seconds, and finally slammed down on the Enter key.

A short while later, a hissing white noise came from the laptop speakers.

Xia You was excited, nervous, thrilled, and expectant. After a while, Chen Ya's voice came from inside:

"Xiao You, if you heard this, it means your eavesdropping skills are lacking and you need to go home and practice; if you're not Xiao You, then your device has already been hijacked by me..."

Xia You closed the program as quickly as possible.

She covered her flushed face, buried herself in the pillow, and made "waaaaa" noises.

Chen Ya must have caught her eavesdropping just now; she's embarrassed herself in front of him again.
