Fatal Attraction: The CEO & His Mischievous Wife - Chapter 160

He also had the easiest access to revenge since he was in live time competing with Zhuang Wei. Ying Yue definitely do something to soothe her heart as well but that would require her to physically go to him. Which he doubted would be anytime soon considering their schedule. Just focusing on Blue47 alone, they were extremely pressed for time until a plan was made. That alone would take up several hours and leaving the base right now was inconvenient.

Based on the phone call she had made to XI Long, there would be a conversation later in the day between them. At that time, no one on their side could probably get to them. So in his perspective, these moments on the computer were the perfect opportunity to exact his revenge. Ying Yue could forgive him more since she was interested in his best friend. However, he did not have the same reservations. Xi Long, Zhuang Wei, none of them could control his anger at this moment.

Logically, he understood why Zhuang Wei did so. His best friend appeared out of nowhere and managed to gain such a special place in Xi Long’s heart. She also had a obscure past that she would not speak on anytime soon. All of those would be major warning signs for a normal individual but none of them were from a good background. They all had secrets and have dabbled in the underground, with that considered, people like them should not be uncommon. In fact, there should be a greater understanding of the secrets because of that shared experience.

The first night when Ying Yue came back and reported that she met such a wild man he did not place it in his heart. However, the second he tried to search for her and hack back into the CCTV’s he was on alert. From that point on, he conducted his own general research nothing that Ying Yue herself had not done. The main things he looked for was to see if he was a threat or not for them. Judging by the little to no scandals he had, it was an easy pass. Things such as his power or influence in this city did not matter much to him. They themselves were not too far off from their level in their original city.

On the contrary, he actually preferred that Xi Long was in the upper rankings of power and influence. It was a reassuring factor and made both Ming Mng and him feel like he was more suitable for her. A weak man would never be able to survive in their worlds nor did he think Ying Yue would fancy a man like that regardless. That was just an extra liability they did not need with everything going on as it is. However, a man with power and influence was not automatically a ‘strong’ man. They had to have the spine and brains to support that position, which, he think Xi Long had.

Adding on that Ying Yue had given her own stamp of approval to them, after that, they both did not bother researching him more or tried to dig into his history. He trusted her opinion enough not to doubt it. There’s one thing to care for your best friend but there were also times where you had to trust them enough. Adding on, the Ying Yue had met him in person and showcased clearly where she stood. If he had not met her, this situation would have been more permissible. However, to meet her, be awarded the minimal trust she gave and then go around and do this?

There was no way he did not understand the significance of her removing the mask in front of him. Nor, could he downplay the skills she outwardly showed him with regards to the needle, her observation, and her basic fighting skills. All of these things, were only awarded to him because of his best friend. It was also a silent peace offering from their side and they all knew that.

Xi Long obviously understood the message since he had yet to hear a question or see another search against her identity from him. With the juxtaposition of his best friend, Xi Long looked slightly better. However, there was still fault with him for not properly communicating that and making sure the other understood the limits.

If Ming Ming and him had ever breeched the limits of Xi Long, he knew that Ying Yue would have taken responsibility for that error. Since she was the connector between them and the main involved party, regardless of who did it the blame would fall on her. Yet, in this case she didn’t even need to do it because all of them understood the subliminal messages. Did they think that we were not capable of the same act?

What he could not forgive, was that those moments shown to him was utilized in such a way.

To create a code based on her facial features and her skills, just to research her and her past was beyond the limits. Not to say that people haven’t tried to look for her and create a code in relation to her in the past. Yet, the difference in that was those were enemies and it was assumed Zhuang Wei was not. Those people also did not really know how she really looked to be able to do so. Her ethnicity, stature, facial features were all modified per mission.

The ones who knew her that deeply and could be more specific in their search, would not waste time creating a code. Based on a news article or a simple blurb could tell that she had a hand in it. Right now, there was a mutual understanding to leave each other alone so he did not worry about them so much.

The issue with this code is, that although Zhuang Wei had created it on his computer and for the purpose of aiding his friend, it did more harm than use. Since, with the code he had created an existent system focused on gathering intel against her. It was dangerous if someone tried connecting her name to multiple incidents using her true identity, it risks the chances of exposing her. There were a lot of things they could not hide in their earlier years and he had forced down now but there was a limit to his skills. He could not completely conceal things that have been living on the dark web for a while.

Plus, in the minds of their enemies she did not look like her current image. This was a starter code but included her ethnicity and correct measurements. What would they do if someone found out that it was not a blonde Russian woman they were looking for but in fact a Chinese woman?? That would alert so many people and cause an unnecessary amount of drama.

In his mind, the biggest point of contention was him even thinking to create the code with those skills.  There was a bitter feeling in him as he mocked the name, “Zhuang Wei? What a trash name, thinking you can do whatever just because you have been unchecked for so long.”

Zhuang Wei’s skills were definitely above average and at a stage of an expert but there would always be people better than him. The seconds it took for him to infiltrate the computer was enough proof of that. If he wanted to go down such a path, he should have ensured his system was capable of withstanding the consequences. Considering that security system, anyone would be able to track the code back to him and subsequently this city.

The code does not just exist on his computer, when it starts trying to pull information from the dark web and real web, it gets noticed by other higher level hackers. If you just imagined a wave of electricity floating through a cyber space, it would look like a tree with multiple branches. Just as the branch and the stump are visible, so is the trajectory of the code. Yes, you could create multiple “drop-offs” to funnel through different VPNs and countries, but it was not a full proof plan. The connection existing was the biggest issue in itself.

They had spent months sneaking into this territory, forced themselves to give up so many p.l.e.a.s.u.r.es just to remain low-key. It was so they could escape the eyes of their enemies and complete this mission successfully. They had just had six months of planning ruined and this man waltzed in trying to ruin years of work altogether. His frustration from the former had not even settled before another target had arrived for his outlet.

Personally, he was the quieter one between the three and he acknowledged that. Yet, in terms of anger he was at the top of the hierarchy for it, he always had a nasty temper when it came to protecting family or friends.
