Huo Yu spoke very fast. While he spoke, Jian Yuncheng could hear the sound of rapid typing on the keyboard through the phone call.

“Then why don’t you do something about it?” Jian Yuncheng asked in an impatient tone.

“Hey, are you complaining that I’m not efficient?”

“Yeah, I am. Aren’t you the one who told me that the security level of the campus forum of Shenghua High School was low?”

“Yeah, that’s true! I can get it done for you immediately! However, why is there another code monkey here? Who is this genius that’s fighting with me right now?”

“Who did you meet?”

“Ummm, in other words, I ran into another hacker when I was tampering with your sister’s post. And now, we’re at war!”

This was why Huo Yu was incredibly busy right now. His fingers were flying across his keyboard.

Upon hearing this, Jian Yuncheng decided not to push him. Thus, he waited patiently for five minutes. Five minutes later, he heard Huo Yu cry out.

“What? Oh my god!”

“Did you lose?”

“Yuncheng, can you not doubt me like this?”

“Then, did you win?”

“Um… Not really…”

“Then why are you yelling?”

“Well… Neither of us won or lost. However, we made the campus forum collapse…”

Upon hearing this, Jian Yuncheng told Huo Yu in a serious tone, “You have an hour to fix it.”

“Wait, no… Yuncheng, I don’t think it’s a big deal right? If the campus forum is down, no one will see your sister’s post anyway…”

“Stop talking. Get to work.”

“Ah… Fine.” Huo Yu begrudgingly agreed. However, in his heart, he cursed Jian Yuncheng. Why was this person like this? Work work work. That was all that he thought about!

Jian Yuncheng was just ruthlessly exploiting an outstanding employee like him!

It was inhumane!

Behind Jian Yuncheng’s back, Huo Yu cursed at him. He hoped that man would never get married.

However, in the end, Huo Yu managed to delete the post. Furthermore, he made sure that the person who posted the forum post could no longer create posts.

Before the campus forum collapsed, Qiu Yuzhen had seen the contents of the posts.

Lately, she was having a hard time. She didn’t go to school anymore. She didn’t even leave the house.

Although Qiu Liyao forbade the news from spreading in the school, that didn’t change the fact that she had a lawsuit against her.

And thus, she had to stay at home. Whilst she was at home, she saw the latest posts on the campus forum. However, her thoughts were completely different from those of other students.

As soon as she saw Mo Shiyun’s post, the only thing that she could think of was to ask for help.

Qiu Yizhen immediately called Mo Shiyun, “Shiyun, please help me.”

“How do you want me to help you?”

Even though discussing the recent events that had happened at the Qiu Residence was banned at school, Mo Shiyun had heard quite a bit regarding the matter.

“Could you lend me some money?”

After her incident, all her former friends had left her. They use to be close to her.

As a result, she couldn’t even ask any of them for help.

And thus, she couldn’t rely on anyone else. The only person that she could ask for help from was Mo Shiyun.

In Qiu Yizhen’s heart, she thought that Mo Shiyun was different from the others.

“Sister Qiu, you know that you can ask me to do anything else… But when it comes to money, I really can’t help you with that.”

Mo Shiyun’s situation didn’t allow her to lend money to Qiu Yizhen.

“Wait, but didn’t you just win another prize in the physics competition.”

Qiu Yizhen had just read about it in a post.

“Yeah, but the prize money is only two thousand dollars…”

Typically, the prize money from a high school competition was not very high. Two to three thousand dollars was already a decent amount.

The previous chemistry competition was an exception from this.

“Two thousand dollars is fine.”

Qiu Yizhen’s father had frozen all of her credit cards. She didn’t have any money on her. Thus, two thousand dollars was better than nothing.

However, Mo Shiyun hesitated. Their family had a lawsuit coming up as well. Therefore, she needed the money for a lot of things.
