Chapter 481: Chapter 481: 3 People Positioning

Lei Ziming said lightly, "I want a single cell, a Wonder Woman pillow, a new toothbrush, new bedding, and I want to see Xiao Lin. I will only talk to Xiao Lin; I don’t want to see you, Xu Xiangbei."

Slam, Lei Ziming cut off the video. The sudden black screen startled Xu Xiangbei but also relieved him. Lei Ziming still posed conditions, which seemed promising.

This kid clearly still had a soft spot for Xiao Lin.

Xu Xiangbei’s mouth curled into a wicked smile, thinking that Lei Ziming’s weakness could be Xiao Lin. He quickly called Xiao Lin: "Dear sister, where are you? I need your help."

On the other end, Xiao Lin’s melodious laughter came through: "Brother Xu, I just got back to Purple Gold Villa. What’s the matter? You sound so anxious."

"Lei Ziming wants to have a video chat with you."

Hearing that Lei Ziming was looking for her, Xiao Lin was a bit flustered: "Ah, Lei Ziming? What does he want with me?"

Xu Xiangbei had no choice but to tell Xiao Lin the whole story.

Xiao Lin was a kind and understanding girl. After hearing Xu Xiangbei’s explanation, she didn’t hesitate, and her voice was full of sympathy: "Such a big issue, Brother Xu, you poor thing, being a CEO isn’t easy. Alright, let him video chat with me; I’ll persuade him to help you."

"Good sister, I’ll send a car to pick you up to come to our company. It’s more convenient that way to video chat with Lei Ziming."

Xiao Lin had just returned from a fashion show in Europe, and she arrived at Xu Xiangbei’s office, dust-covered.

She had a cascade of dyed golden hair, eyes as blue as the sea, shining like stars in the sky. Her snow-white, jade-like earlobes wore a pair of diamond earrings, looking radiant and exceptionally beautiful.

Xiao Lin looked slightly uneasy at the laptop screen, where Lei Ziming was in prison uniform, with lawyer Lei Jiade right behind, waving to her.

With Jenny’s help, Lei Ziming’s demands were met.

Lei Ziming’s hair was still slick and shiny, very neat, and his eyes filled with tender affection as he waved at Xiao Lin, "Xiao Lin, hello, long time no see, you’re still so beautiful."

Xiao Lin awkwardly smiled: "Long time no see, how are you doing there?"

Xiao Lin just asked out of politeness, but after asking, she realized her question was too silly. How could it be good in prison?

However, Lei Ziming didn’t feel that way. Being able to chat face-to-face through video with Xiao Lin made him very happy. Even if Xiao Lin scolded him, he would cherish it.

Lei Ziming chatted with Xiao Lin for more than ten minutes. Watching this, Xu Xiangbei and Shan Mingzhi were almost going crazy with anxiety. Not only were they anxious, but Liu Ningyan, who was online, was also very worried, having been ready for a long time.

Over two hours had passed since the 24-hour deadline, and Lei Ziming still hadn’t agreed to help. Time was ticking away.

Unable to interrupt, Xu Xiangbei picked up a whiteboard to remind Xiao Lin to urge Lei Ziming to quickly agree to find the invading hacker.

Xiao Lin graciously smiled: "Lei Ziming, if you want to chat, we can do it later. Can you help us catch that invading hacker now?"

Lei Ziming’s eyes were full of reluctance as he sighed lightly: "Tell that fat fool to use a three-man triangulation method, using three different IPs from three continents at once. Tell him to watch port 2930; I left a tracker on that port, and anything going through that port will leave traces."

Fat Shan Mingzhi could no longer hold back and rushed to the front of the video: "What algorithm does your tracker use? Should I use a multi-base algorithm to detect it?"

Lei Ziming looked disdainful: "Shan Mingzhi, you were an idiot before, and you’re still the same, not getting any smarter. I wrote the tracker using binary code. I’ll only cooperate with you for an hour. If there’s no result after an hour, then I can’t help."

Xu Xiangbei glanced at the big screen showing Liu Ningyan. Lei Ziming and Shan Mingzhi’s conversation was clear to her, and she decisively nodded: "This method is feasible; let’s start tracing."

At the port Lei Ziming mentioned, traces of data exchange were found. Following Lei Ziming’s teaching, the tracker program was opened using the binary algorithm, finding the IP address of the data intrusion program.

The three of them were rapidly typing on their keyboards as if they were three music masters playing a piece of silent music that only they could understand.

They occasionally reported some professional terminology that Xu Xiangbei couldn’t understand, but he could tell something from their facial expressions.

Initially, Liu Ningyan’s elegant eyebrows were furrowed in confusion, and Shan Mingzhi was full of anxiety, constantly wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

Lei Ziming appeared expressionless and indifferent. He was purely from a technical standpoint, having not touched a computer in prison for so long, now feeling a bit unfamiliar using one.

As time ticked by, Xu Xiangbei checked the time; an hour had passed since the three-pronged search for the hacker began.

Within this hour, the three of them were focused and committed. Not only were they completely absorbed in their work, but Xu Xiangbei, Jenny, and Xiao Lin were also nervously watching the screen, full of hope, watching the computer experts showcasing their skills.

After about an hour and ten minutes, Liu Ningyan’s delicate eyebrows relaxed, and her pretty face showed a confident but charming smile.

Xu Xiangbei was happy for her, knowing she had made significant progress. Based on his understanding of her, she would have results in another ten minutes.

Shan Mingzhi’s forehead sweat was also less frequent, no longer sweating so frequently, and he quietly shoved a chocolate cookie into his mouth, chewing on it with relish.

Although Shan Mingzhi seemed clumsier than Liu Ningyan and Lei Ziming, he was the first to have results.

While typing on the keyboard, his eyes glued to the screen, watching data rapidly flash across it, suddenly, Shan Mingzhi jumped up as if he had won a prize, exclaiming excitedly, "Found him! This guy’s hiding in America; it’s an IP address from New York, USA. This guy disguised himself so well, using eighteen hundred zombie computers to cloak himself."

Lei Ziming said with a dismissive look: "Finding it by just you doesn’t count. We have to confirm the IP address together. I still have two more program variables to check, and it’ll take another twenty minutes to have results."

Another ten minutes passed, and Liu Ningyan, bearing a victorious smile, announced: "My results are out; it’s East 14th Street in New York, USA. Two have already located it; we’re just waiting for you now, Lei Ziming. Come on, you’re a bright scholar from an American elite school. Your brain should be more agile than ours. Also, you should be familiar with their invasion methods."

Lei Ziming’s face showed more anxiety, indicating he encountered a little difficulty.
