Chapter 202
Robert complained, “I'll get even with you later!”
He answered the phone. “Hello!”
“Mr. Foster, something’s up with the company. Our game source code has been hacked. There are also traces of hackers remotely controlling our computers on the Internet. The hackers even left a disdainful middle finger on the computers. All our computers are still unresponsive...”
After the assistant finished speaking, Robert was stunned.
Patrick saw that something was wrong with him. His eyes darkened. “What's wrong? What happened?”
Robert glanced at Patrick before coming back to his senses. “I'll tell you later!”
He said to the assistant on the other end of the line, “Contact the hackers immediately. The more powerful they are, the better. We must find out who is paying them to do this!”
He couldn't be hacked without knowing who was the one behind this.
This competitive game was jointly developed by him and Patrick. Now that it was in the late stages, they had invested a lot of effort and money. Now the source code had been hacked, which led to countless variables. Their half a year of hard work had been wasted. There might be a way to find the mastermind.
At the very least, Robert would be able to
find the evidence left behind by the criminal. At that time, he would be able to use it as evidence in court.
Robert hung up the phone and looked at Patrick with a darkened expression. “Our game source code has been hacked, and the criminal.
even arrogantly left a middle finger to look down on us!”
Patrick stood up and frowned slightly. “Are they coming for us?”
Robert raised his eyebrows. “It’s obvious!”
Patrick nodded. “It’s so sudden. Can you find a powerful hacker? The criminal is so arrogant. Most people are probably not his match!”
Robert's heart sank. “There’s no other way. We can only do what we can
now!”
Patrick held the phone between his thumb and index finger and flipped through his contact list. I'll call Nelson and ask him to hire a hacker. We should be able to get a master’s help if we offer a high price!”Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Robert nodded. Patrick dialed Nelson’s number and roughly explained the
situation.
Nelson exclaimed, “You need a hacker. | only know one. She’s very powerful!”
Patrick did not expect Nelson to know such a master-like figure. “Is that so? Then hurry up and hire her. Tell her to name her price!”
Nelson’s tone was a little hesitant. “I’m afraid she can’t be hire easily with money. | heard from Miss Webb that she’s not short of money!”
Patrick frowned. “Violet? She knows the hacker too?”
Nelson smiled in embarrassment. “You know her too. She’s Miss Webb’s best friend, Miss Megan Floyd. She joined our company purely for fun. It’s said that she’s very rich and super powerful. She was the one who restored the surveillance video of Miss Webb being swapped for the design draft last time. Our entire Information Technology Department can’t even catch up with her!”
Patrick’s expression changed again. His only impression of Megan was that she was aloof and quiet.
Patrick thought for a moment and said, “Then let her have a try. You need to continue looking for powerful hackers, unless we can catch the hackers who attacked us!”
Nelson nodded. “Alright, I'll go and look for more now. However, if you're going to Miss Floyd, | suggest you go to Miss Webb first. It'll probably be easier to get Miss Floyd's help if you have Miss Webb talk to her!”

Patrick nodded. “Got it!”
Patrick picked up his jacket and glanced at Robert, “Let's go to the game company first!”
Robert had no idea what Patrick said on the phone. He was confused. “What did you tell Nelson? Did you get a powerful hacker?”
Patrick was silent for a moment. “I don’t know if she’s powerful or not. We'll let her have a try!”
Patrick got into the car and Robert drove.
He sent a message to Violet on WhatsApp.
Patrick: [Are you there?]
Violet was just about to have dinner when she saw Patrick’s message. Her first reaction was that he was no longer mad, so she quickly replied.
Violet: [Yeah. What's up?]
Patrick: [Is your best friend Megan a hacker?]
Violet: [Yes, she is.]
Patrick: [Is she good?]
Violet: [What's the matter?]
Patrick: [I have something to ask her for a favor. I’m not familiar with her, so | want to ask you to h ook me up.]
Violet: [Alright. What favor is it? Tell me.]
Patrick: [How about this? I'll send you an address. Come over and we'll talk. She can help directly after | tell her what she needs to do.] Violet: [Alright, send the address. Megan and | will come over later!]
Patrick sent a location over. Violet looked at the stiff conversation between him and her as she sighed slightly.
12:50
hu, Jan 25
Patrick helped her retrieve her mother’s letter. She still owed Patrick a favor. Moreover, she had made him angry last night.
No matter what kind of help he needed, she would ask Megan to do her best to help.
Violet arrived at Megan’s residence. Megan was drunk last night and was still lying in bed.
Violet got her out of bed and drove to the gaming company.
On the way, Violet could not help but remind her, “Just take it as helping me so | can repay Patrick’s favor. You must do your best!”
Still suffering from her hangover, Megan nodded. “Yes, | know!”
Violet and Megan stopped the car. When they got out of the car, they saw Patrick and Robert at the entrance of the game company.
When Robert saw the two of them walking over, he could not help but frown. “Where's the hacker master?”
Patrick had yet to tell him that Megan was that hacker.
Megan looked at him indifferently as if she was looking at a fool.
Patrick explained the situation and asked, “Miss Floyd, how much can you help us?”
Megan's tone was indifferent. “It depends on your request!”
Patrick raised his eyebrows. “Can you do as much as we ask?”
Megan did not sleep well, so she was a bit impatient. “How much do you guys need me to do?”
Patrick did not waste any time and said directly, “It’s best to find the original code and find traces of the criminals activities on the Internet as evidence. Finally, destroy the source code that he stole, including his backup on his computer and the other computers!”
In fact, he felt that he was asking too much. After all, the backups that had
15 THIN
been sent to other computers and stored in the USB drive could not be destroyed.
Unexpectedly, Megan nodded. “No problem!”
Robert, the fool, finally realized what was going on and said in shock, “Is Meggy the hacker you’re talking about?”
Violet looked at him helplessly. “Who else could it be?”
Robert looked at Megan worriedly. He felt like they were making Megan do something beyond her. “Meggy, if you can’t do it, just say it. Don’t make things difficult for yourselfl”
Megan looked at him as if he was an idiot. “What’s wrong with you?”
Patrick put in a good word for Robert. He’s afraid that you won't be able to solve it. He doesn’t mean, anything else!”
Violet looked at Megan quietly.
Megan explained, “Don’t worry, it’s not difficult. I'll destroy all the source code they stole and find out who the criminal is. I'll install a virus similar to a search engine on his computer. It can automatically search for this source code through the Internet and infect other computers with the source code!
“After the computer is infected with this virus, it will automatically install an automatic destruction program. As long as they want to click open the source code, this program will be triggered and the source code will be automatically destroyed! Whether it’s on the computer or the USB drive, as long as they dare to use it, this source code will be invalid and won't be of any use to them!”
