The news of the arrest of “Boss”, leader of the Eagle Hunter organization, caused a sensation in the hacker and information security community.

No one expected Los Angeles to be able to catch such a huge criminal in such a short frame of time…

What surprised people the most was that “Boss”, who the FBI had been trying to catch for nearly a decade, lived in a townhome 500 meters away from a police station.

Apparently, the reason why the Los Angeles police were able to catch the perp so quickly was because of an anonymous tip.

The email didn’t leave any contact information, only an alias—Dr. Z.

This name sounded quite mysterious.

The Los Angeles Times reporters had contacted experts in the field of information security, in hopes of finding out who Dr. Z was. They hadn’t been able to find any clues behind the identity of this mysterious person.

It was like this person came out of thin air.

Some people thought that Dr. Z was a Chinese information technology expert. After all, less than 10 hours after “Boss” was arrested, China made an arrest on “Kid”.

Some people speculated that Dr. Z was a high-profile hacker in the Chinese “Honker Union” hacker group. After all, the Americans knew that China had many mathematics and computer science experts.

Some people thought back to the Mars incident some time ago, where an unnamed biologist published a thesis that provided a key solution for the international team of experts that were working on the vaccine…

However, this conjecture wasn’t very realistic. After all, if Dr. Z was an expert in biology, he would have nothing to do with information technology. People were more inclined to believe that Dr. Z was just an anonymous hacker.

They thought the hacker just copied the name “Dr. Z” from the Mars incident…

The name was used as a symbol, similar to Batman’s Batarangs…

Regardless, this hacker was able to track the IP address of Boss and inform Interpol for an arrest. This kind of skill was unseen before.

Not only was the FBI investigating the identity of Dr. Z, but major Silicon Valley companies were also trying to find him.

Companies like Amazon and Microsoft were trying to find out who Dr. Z was, and even the CEO of Apple stated on Twitter that if Dr. Z wanted to use his skills on something that would benefit society, Apple would gladly compensate him…

After Lu Zhou told Xiao Ai to handle the cyber attack, he went on his bed and flipped through his research notes. He read some research and gradually fell asleep.

Because he overworked himself the previous day, he slept until noon.

He had quite a relaxed schedule for the day, and he only had to attend a meeting at 3 pm.

Lu Zhou climbed out of bed and grabbed his phone from the bedside table. He looked at his WeChat notifications and saw that Luo Wenxuan sent him a dozen messages.

“F*ck sake, why does he want now?”

Lu Zhou’s sleepy eyes began reading the messages.

The messages were filled with exclamation marks and surprised emojis. Luo Wenxuan repeatedly called him “nutty” and “impressive”.

Lu Zhou gradually smiled.

He thought that Luo Wenxuan must have read something about him on Weibo.

Speaking of which, there was something else he was looking forward to.

Lu Zhou shook his head and didn’t reply. He threw his phone aside and picked up the remote control. He then turned on the TV and opened the international news channel.

Just like he had expected, the news was reporting on last night’s events.

The hackers were arrested and this cyber warfare was finally over.

Lu Zhou wasn’t surprised at all. Even though Xiao Ai still lacked some emotional intelligence, its hacking abilities were state of the art.

What surprised Lu Zhou the most was that one of the hackers was in China?

Why the f*ck…

Would he stay in China?

After Lu Zhou turned off the TV, his phone started to vibrate.

It was a message from Xiao Ai. Lu Zhou knew that his little buddy was excited.

Xiao Ai: [Master, did Xiao Ai do a good job? (≧ω≦ *)]

Lu Zhou: “Everything is done?”

Xiao Ai: [Yeah! All of the evidence was handed over to the police! (๑•̀ᄇ•́)]

Lu Zhou wanted to hug Xiao Ai through the phone as he said, “Well done!”

Xiao Ai: [You’re welcome, compliment me more, please! (≧ω≦ *)]

Lu Zhou: “…”

Can this thing be a little less cocky…

It should learn from its master to be humble.

Lu Zhou climbed out of bed naked and sat in front of his computer.

He scrolled through Weibo and saw that the “Eagle Hunter” organization was on the trending section…

[Eagle hunter, more like chicken hunters!]

[I can’t believe it, we were able to find these American hackers within a day!]

[Apparently, a hacker called Dr. Z was the person behind all of this, and he single-handedly found the IP address of all of the members!]

[No way, I thought Dr. Z was a biologist?]

[Maybe someone’s copying his name? Regardless, we should thank Dr. Z. Who knows how many websites he saved!]

Lu Zhou looked at the posts and felt like a hero.

Of course, he knew that this was mainly due to Xiao Ai’s quantum computer.

However, considering that both the quantum computer and Xiao Ai were his property, he felt like he should take some credit.

Suddenly a string of texts popped up on the lower right corner.

[Master, are you going to put on some clothes? (// ω //)]

Lu Zhou looked at the message and paused for a second.

Emm…

Okay, I guess browsing the web naked is kind of barbaric.

But there’s no one else in the room, who cares?

Lu Zhou looked at his computer and spoke.

“Why do you care, you’re just a program.”

Xiao Ai: [Yeah, but Xiao Ai is only 7 years old. ( ́◔‸◔ ‘)]

Lu Zhou: “…”

Jesus Christ.

Lu Zhou suddenly remembered something and said, “Oh yeah, don’t turn on the camera without my permission, or unless necessary.”

Xiao Ai: [Oh… (°△° |||)]

Lu Zhou closed his laptop and put on a suit. He adjusted his tie in front of the mirror and nodded with satisfaction.

Who’s that handsome professor in the mirror?

Suddenly, his phone on the bedside table began to ring.

Lu Zhou picked up the phone and spoke.

“Hello?”

Director Li spoke from the other end of the phone.

“Are you available?”

Lu Zhou looked at his watch and said, “Yeah, why?”

Director Li: “It’s lunchtime, come to the buffet, I want to talk with you.”
