Chapter 2417 - 2425: Slap in the Face

"Goodbye, Mr. Qin! The doors of Huaxia’s Cyber Bureau will always be open for you!" Chen Dong also bowed very seriously to Qin Yu; without Qin Yu, his position as director would have been at its end!

Qin Yu gave a slight nod and turned to Mo Yuqi to say, "Mr. Mo, shall we go?"

To Qin Yu’s surprise, Mo Yuqi pouted, clearly displeased, "Mr. Qin, have you forgotten something?"

"Forgotten something?" Qin Yu was puzzled.

"Didn’t you just say that you wanted to make Lotte Group pay a price?" Mo Yuqi reminded him.

Qin Yu slapped his forehead and laughed, "Look at that, I almost forgot! Lin, I’ve made a few ransomware variants on Liu Yi’s computer, targeting only the mobile products of Lotte Group. Could you please release them for me?"

"Yes!"

Lin hurried over to Liu Yi’s computer, and he almost had a nosebleed!

What did he see?

Are you sure these are a few?

These are clearly dozens, aren’t they?

"Mr. Qin, did you just make these?"

Lin was certain, absolutely certain, that Liu Yi did not have the skills. Though very sure, Lin couldn’t help but ask.

"Yeah, took me about twenty minutes," Qin Yu replied with a grin.

Twenty... minutes?

Twenty minutes to produce more than twenty variants of a virus?

This is just too freakish, right?

Lin once again deeply felt the gap between him and Qin Yu!

After the shock, Lin quickly released the variants of the virus that Qin Yu had created. As soon as the Variant 11 viruses were released, the whole of South Korea was in an uproar!

As a leading mobile phone brand in South Korea, Lotte’s mobiles had a considerable market share in South Korea.

Once Lotte mobiles had issues, one third of South Korea’s telecommunications were paralyzed!

Xin Xishan was about to die of frustration!

Damnit, what’s the saying? ’Steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice used to lure it’?

This is it!

It was supposed to be Emperor Group that collapsed, but now what?

Lotte Group was facing closure!

Especially since, the one attacking Lotte Group’s mobile products was his grandson’s ransomware virus?

Was this little bastard so petty?

Just because he was scolded, he would do such a thing?

Unforgivable!

Xin Xishan hurriedly tried to call Xin Shixun, but Xin Shixun’s phone had also been infected by the ransomware, and he couldn’t get through!

After trying for a long time and being unable to connect, Xin Xishan was completely enraged!

"A-Zhe!" Xin Xishan’s voice was chilling!

"Master, what are your orders?" A silver-haired old man appeared from the shadows, exuding an incredibly powerful aura.

"Bring Shixun to me."

"Yes!"

With a whoosh, the silver-haired elder vanished like a ghost!

The elder’s spiritual power radiated out, quickly locating Xin Shixun, who was on the verge of a mental breakdown. Seeing Xin Shixun’s despondent state, the silver-haired elder sighed.

"Young Master Shixun, the Master calls for you."

Xin Shixun came to his senses, smiled at the silver-haired elder, and said, "Understood."

Under the guidance of the silver-haired elder, Xin Shixun arrived in the room of Xin Xilai.

As soon as he saw his grandfather, Shixun knelt down and cried out, "Grandfather, Shixun is incompetent! I’ve disappointed you!"

"Unfilial child! I only scolded you a few times! And you actually attacked our Lotte Group? Have you turned against us?"

"Grandfather, what are you saying? I don’t understand," Shixun replied.

"Not understanding is not a problem, being able to see clearly is what matters. Look for yourself, what is this?"

Having said that, Xin Xilai threw his cellphone in front of Shixun.

Shixun picked up the cellphone and was immediately stunned. My God, was this a ransomware variant?

And one that he had not discovered himself?

What was even more terrifying was that it was a ransomware variant created with a 64-based system!

Hadn’t he pushed the 64-based ransomware variants to their limits?

How could there still be a variant?

Seeing Shixun stunned, Xin Xishan thought he had nothing to say and furiously exclaimed, "You’ve disappointed me so much, I didn’t expect you to be so petty!"

"Grandfather, I didn’t create this, why would I infect my own cellphone if I did?"

Shixun took out his own cellphone and gestured with it towards Xin Xishan.

When Xin Xishan saw Shixun’s cellphone screen, he was taken aback.

Huh? It seemed he had wronged his grandson!

"Shixun, it was I who wronged you. Create a specialized killer program now to eradicate the disaster caused by the ransomware," he ordered.

"Yes!"

Shixun took a deep breath and quickly walked towards his backup computer room. Although the computers there were not as good as the one he had used before, they were still much better than average computers.

At first, Shixun was quite calm. After all, as the progenitor of ransomware, creating a specialized killer software should be easy for him.

But very quickly, Shixun realized he was wrong!

Even though the ransomware variant in front of him was made with a 64-based system, he had no idea where to start.

This variant made Shixun realize his understanding of the 64-based system was not thorough at all!

Could ports still be used in this way?

Could these two completely unrelated source codes be combined for such an ingenious use?

It was only after two hours that Shixun managed to create the specialized killer for Variant 10.

During those two hours, Lotte Group’s mainlines had been blown up with complaints and product return calls!

Even more, Lotte Group’s cell phone stores were crammed with people!

The situation was very chaotic!

It almost escalated to looting and robbery incidents, thanks to the timely intervention by the authorities that prevented even worse consequences.

Fortunately, the specialized killer for Variant 10 was finally ready. Xin Xilai personally apologized to the consumers of Lotte cell phones through the media and promised such an incident would never happen again!

Unfortunately, no sooner had Xin Xilai’s words ended than Variant 11 suddenly emerged!

Variant 11 was like a resounding slap, swelling Xin Xilai’s face!

Xin Xilai interrupted the live broadcast in shame, and Shixun, with a bitter expression, started researching Variant 11 again.

The more he researched, the more Shixun realized his ignorance!

Shixun even suspected that Liu Yi was the true developer of the ransomware, as his understanding of the virus seemed much deeper than his own!

This time, it took three hours to create the specialized killer, and by then, the sky was already bright.

As the day broke, even more consumers of Lotte phones noticed the problem and began to complain about the Lotte Group.

Some even started taking extreme measures!

A more tense moment arrived as the stock market began trading, and as soon as it opened, the stock price of Lotte Group plummeted!

In less than ten minutes, the shares of Lotte Group hit the limit down!

Xin Xishan was on the verge of depression, unable to control his emotions, he pointed at Shixun’s nose and cursed, "Didn’t you create the ransomware? How come you can’t even solve a single variant?"
