Asked you to write a book, not to confess your criminal record!

"Sit."

Lin Chuan raised his hand to signal.

The Little Landlady was quite impressed with Karl at first sight, finding the title "Chairman's wife" particularly pleasing to the ear.

Since the Little Landlady was Lin Chuan's personal secretary, Lin Chuan did not have an additional secretary; thus, the task of serving tea in the office fell on Li Qing.

Li Qing poured tea for Lin Chuan, Zhang Xinxin, and Karl.

Lin Chuan took a sip, his gaze meeting Karl's, "Karl, do you find the tea to your liking?"

Karl, not too formal, smiled, "I used to drink tea often with Deputy Director Du at Southern Network, but after he was pushed out, I seldom had it."

"Try our 720 tea; the taste is quite good."

Lin Chuan smiled.

"Sure!"

Karl smiled knowingly, picked up the tea cup, and took a gentle sip.

"You've gotten used to living in Han River Capital. What brought you to Anling, this small place?" Lin Chuan inquired with interest.

Karl set down his tea cup and answered honestly, "Last night, I had a long talk with Director Li. I had conflicts with Zhao Sanqi, the technical director at Southern Network, so I resigned. However, there's another reason I didn't mention to Director Li."

"Oh?"

Lin Chuan was somewhat interested.

"Actually, I have a girlfriend from Anling. She is in the Yayi Dance Troupe here in Anling. Coming to Anling also gave me a chance to see her more often," Karl said with genuine emotion.

Lin Chuan nodded.

Having gained an initial understanding of Karl's reasons for leaving and his choice of 720, the conversation turned to work matters.

Whether Karl could handle being the manager of the technical department would still depend on his work capabilities.

It had to be said.

Karl's abilities and technical skills were outstanding.

He responded fluently to some common issues raised by Lin Chuan and even provided solutions after brief thought for some more obscure technicalities.

With such an ability to perform, he was more than qualified to be the manager of the technical department.

Li Qing escorted Karl out of the office to the HR department to complete the relevant procedures.

In the office, only Lin Chuan and Xinxin remained.

Xinxin then said, "This Karl seems quite capable."

"He certainly is."

Lin Chuan praised him, noting that Karl's performance was flawless, even for the role of 720's technical director.

However...

Lin Chuan glanced at the door.

"What's wrong?"

The Little Landlady, who knew Lin Chuan inside and out, noticed something different about his expression.

Lin Chuan smiled, "Nothing, just curious how directors and deputy directors at workplaces go against each other."

"You want to gossip too?"

The Little Landlady blinked playfully and smiled.

"I'm looking for online literature material. If I ever write a workplace novel, conflicts are classic plots, aren't they?" Lin Chuan laughed.

The Little Landlady agreed completely, nodding, "That's true. Our company is too harmonious, lacking in conflicts. But, I'm more curious about how he got together with a dancer from the Yayi Dance Troupe."

Lin Chuan and the Little Landlady exchanged smiles.

To them, Karl joining 720 was merely a minor episode.

After meeting with Karl, it wasn't long before Lin Chuan went upstairs to Falcon Technology Co., Ltd, continuing with weapon production matters.

The essential blueprints and patents were all prepared, and the workload for Shen Qianqian and Xia Qingqing was no longer high.

Lin Chuan also took some time to investigate Lucas from Morgan Group.

That night, Lin Chuan had decided—

To take down Morgan Group, starting with Lucas!

However, key figures like Lucas, who barely show themselves, are difficult to locate with a massive network search.

Even following Yu Keke's lead from the last time, searching for two days yielded no results.

The Haas Armed Forces wouldn't provide any information about Morgan Group either.

This was an unwritten industry rule.

"/hello.jpg."

That night.

Lin Chuan thought of Angelina, whom he had yet to meet in person, a little hacker fan far away in North Bear.

"Idol, are we telepathically linked?"

Angelina almost immediately replied.

Her location was five hours behind Lin Chuan's time.

Lin Chuan sat in his home study, fingers rapidly tapping on the keyboard, "Telepathically linked, you're also looking for me?"

"Yes, I just happen to need you, do you also need me?" Angelina asked.

"Yes, I want to inquire about a person."

Lin Chuan stated his purpose.

Angelina, overly eager to serve for such a revered figure as the God of Hackers, was happy to help Lin Chuan, "Idol, you say!"

"I want to find Lucas," Lin Chuan replied.

"Lucas from the Morgan Group?" Angelina was somewhat surprised.

"You know him?"

At the computer, a flicker of hope rose in Lin Chuan's heart.

As long as there was a clue, he had a way.

Angelina responded, "I don't know him, I just know that he is the head of the Morgan Group's Asia-Pacific Branch, but the specific details are unclear."

"Is there any way to find his information?" Lin Chuan asked again.

"Idol, the information of such people is highly confidential, and even on the dark web, very few people dare to sell their information; it's very dangerous," Angelina explained.

Lin Chuan's fingers paused on the keyboard.

That was it.

Indeed, few people dared to sell information about such important figures.

Otherwise, someone might come knocking in minutes!

Lin Chuan let out a sigh.

Now, with the enemy in the dark and me in the light, things were a bit tricky.

"Idol, it's not like there's no way at all!" A little while later, Angelina sent another message.

"What is it?"

Lin Chuan's expression flickered as he asked.

"They are in business, you could start with their industry chain. Given your skills, there could be a chance to find him."

Lin Chuan pondered for a moment, "That's a good idea, I'll try it. By the way, was there something you needed me for?"

"Idol, you must be careful!"

Angelina suddenly expressed her concern.

"Why do you say that?" Lin Chuan's eyebrows tightened, and his expression froze.

"You've been discovered!"

Angelina immediately replied.

"What do you mean?" Lin Chuan was still puzzled.

"AW, the hacker organization, you should be familiar with them," Angelina's fingers moved fast, sending messages almost instantly.

"Old rivals," Lin Chuan was of course familiar with AW.

"Inside their group, there's credible information confirming that you were the mysterious person who counterattacked them at Han River," Angelina dropped a crucial piece of information.

"Are they going to take action against me?" Lin Chuan frowned as he typed the message.

"I haven't heard anything specific, but based on what I know about them, they will definitely take action against you, either launching a destructive strike against your company or carrying out a covert operation against you personally," Angelina speculated.

Lin Chuan looked at Angelina's message and smirked.

Morgan Group wasn't settled yet, and now there was AW; why were there so many villains?

Caught on all sides!

"How do you know all this so clearly?" Lin Chuan was curious about Angelina's sources.

On the other end of the network,

Angelina, nestled in a chair, smiled, "Idol, did you forget, besides hackers, what else is North Bear famous for?"

Lin Chuan touched his nose.

North Bear, their intelligence agency was powerful, especially their agents, who were renowned worldwide.

Such intelligence capabilities certainly made Lin Chuan envious.

"/thumbs_up.jpg"

Lin Chuan sent an emoticon to Angelina.

Angelina replied, "I'm currently monitoring AW's movements. If they take any action against you, I'll inform you immediately."

"Thank you, Angelina," Lin Chuan sincerely said.

"Idol, you don't need to be polite with me; I don't want anything to happen to you," Angelina smiled sweetly from in front of her computer.

Strands of hair fell, outlining her exquisite and exceedingly beautiful face.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen!"

Lin Chuan reassured Angelina.

AW's actions against him would likely be cyber attacks, which, for Lin Chuan, were impenetrable.

Even if he let his guard down, they wouldn't be able to break through!

Unless it was a flood!

— Directly disable the firewall, or hand over the firewall codes to AW!

But was that possible?

Clearly, it was not!

Lin Chuan was pondering this when suddenly,

"Chairman, there's trouble in the company!" The anxious voice of the Little Landlady came from outside the door!
