Chapter 780 – Her Sudden Departure: A Tale of Love and Redemption (Lucian & Roxanne)

I’m the second-best hacker in the world, but I haven’t tried hacking into the system of Daddy’s company. People say his company has a really skilled team of technicians in the IT department. They should be off work by now, so I’ll try pulling a little prank on them!

At around eight in the evening, the computer screens of all the employees at Farwell Group went black for a few seconds. The next thing they knew, a video clip of three kids dancing hand-in-hand with their buttocks bare appeared on the screens.

“What the… Who has the audacity to hack into Farwell Group’s computer system?” someone exclaimed in shock after realizing that it was the work of a hacker.

Most importantly, Farwell Group had the best cyber security in the industry, so they couldn’t imagine anyone being able to hack into it. On top of all that, the hacker had gone throught so much trouble invading their system just to pull a childish prank on them.

Angered and frustrated, the employees who were working overtime in the IT department got all riled up and typed away furiously on their keyboards.

However, the look of disbelief on their faces only intensified as time went by. This hacker merely planted a tiny virus in our system, and yet, we can’t seem to bring it down no matter how hard we try!

Cayden rushed over to the office when he received a call from the manager of the IT department at nine in the evening.

He went wide-eyed with shock when he saw the clip of the three kids dancing with their bottoms bare on the screen. Naturally, he wouldn’t be able to solve an issue that even their technicians couldn’t.

Cayden was about to call the police about the attack when one of the employees said, “Wait a minute… This situation feels kind of familiar…”

Everyone shifted their gaze toward him upon hearing that. The employee scratched his head nervously as he continued, “If I recall correctly, Pearson Group received a similar attack back then. Their screens also had a clip of a child dancing. Mr. Farwell sent me over to resolve the issue-”

He was halfway through his sentence when his supervisor smacked his head and cut him off, “If you know what this is, then hurry up and take care of it!”

“I wasn’t able to fix it that time. In the end, it was Mr. Farwell himself who resolved the issue and repaired Pearson Group’s security system,” the employee explained.

Everyone exchanged nervous glances when they heard that. Farwell Group is paying us a really high salary to work here. What good are we if we can’t handle a simple virus like this and end up troubling Mr. Farwell to fix it for us? But…..

The technicians could only let out helpless sighs as they stared at the dancing kids on the screen. They knew they were unable to resolve the issue on their own. Fearing that the virus would corrupt the files in their system, they had no choice but to call for help.

“You guys continue working on this while I contact Mr. Farwell,” Cayden said, making a prompt decision. As he wasn’t a part of the IT department, there wasn’t much he could do in that situation except swallow his pride and give Lucian a call.

Meanwhile, in the Farwell residence, Lucian was about to take his family out for a walk after dinner when he received a call from Cayden.

The look on his face grew solemn when he heard that the IT department needed him to resolve the firewall hack. “Got it, I’ll head over right away.”

“What’s wrong?” Roxanne asked in confusion. “Something happened at work. I need to head over and have a look,” Lucian replied.

He then threw on his coat and walked out the front door. The three kids exchanged glances when they saw the serious look on his face.

C-Could that be due to the virus I planted? Shouldn’t everyone be off work by now, though? That virus I planted was a very simple one, so they shouldn’t need to trouble Daddy with it, right?

Benny reassured himself as the three of them sat on the couch and watched television. As nobody said a word, the entire living room fell silent all of a sudden.

Roxanne, too, was feeling a little depressed as she recalled the negotiation with Jack earlier that day. Meanwhile, Lucian rushed over to Farwell Group as quickly as he could.

He couldn’t help but feel an odd sense of familiarity when he saw the three kids dancing on screen. That was especially the case when he noticed the three kids were two boys and a girl.

Upon realizing that the boys looked similar to each other, he thought of the three kids at home and what Roxanne told him earlier.

As Lucian grew increasingly confused, the supervisor approached him and said cautiously, “Mr. Farwell, this situation is similar to the one at Pearson Group back then.”

Lucian shot him a glance before sitting down at one of the workstations. With an expressionless look on his face, he typed in a command on the keyboard. A few seconds later, a string of codes appeared on screen.

The employees gathered around out of curiosity, only to gasp in awe as Lucian easily. took care of the virus in a matter of minutes.

Just as the crowd thought Lucian would stop, they saw him typing another string of code to trace the hacker’s IP address.

After he was done, he stood and faced the members of the IT department, who lowered their heads in guilt. Not only did they revere Lucian because he was their boss but also because of his impressive skills. They had no choice but to submit to his questioning.

“Farwell Group didn’t pay you all a high salary to do nothing.” Lucian was dissatisfied. “This is the second time it has happened already, yet none of you solved the problem or figured out who the hacker is!”

The crowd exchanged glances silently. Right then, someone steeled themselves and explained, “The hacker’s far better than us, Mr. Farwell. We suspect-”

Lucian snorted meaningfully, cutting him off. The crowd turned to Lucian in puzzlement. While they weren’t paying attention, he returned to the seat and looked at the culprit’s IP address on the screen.

He appeared shocked but proud at the same time. His expression confused the crowd, prompting them to wonder if their eyes were playing tricks on them.

Upon closing the window, Lucian uttered, “If none of you can’t even win against two children, then it’s time to self-reflect.”

Two children? Is Mr. Farwell mocking us? Lucian was too lazy to explain the situation to the others. He turned to Cayden and ordered, “Cancel the bonus for everyone in the IT department this month.”

With that, he left. The employees of the IT department lamented in their minds. Everything was going fine with our overtime work until a hacker suddenly penetrated our system and caused us to lose our bonus! What is this terrible luck?
