I was taken aback. "But..."
"This report is a trap we designed," Chen Yu explained. "Only those who can see through the surface and identify the essential problems can pass."
The girl in red and the bespectacled boy left with grim expressions, packing their things. Lu Chen stepped in front of me. "Su Wan, do you know why the Xing Chen Plan only recruits three people each year?"
I shook my head.
"Because we need individuals who can see through human nature," he said, looking directly into my eyes, "not just machines that can do calculations."
I felt my heart race, a slight sweat forming in my palms.
"Next," he handed me a document, "you will face more severe challenges. Remember, at Hengsheng, the truth is often much more complex than it appears on the surface."
I took the document and saw the cover read: "Mergers and Acquisitions Case: Xing Chen Technology."
As I walked out of the conference room, I glanced back at the photo on the wall. Lu Chen's youthful face seemed to be watching me, reminding me of the challenges ahead.
My phone vibrated; it was a message from Lin Yue: "I heard you passed the first round? Congratulations. But be careful; the real test is just beginning."
I tightened my grip on my phone, watching the numbers flicker in the elevator. In this world of calculations and conspiracies, I felt like I was inching closer to some astonishing truth. And Lu Chen, this mysterious man, was he a guide or another more dangerous trap?
The gears of fate continued to turn, and I could no longer stop.
"Click!"
The moment the USB drive connected to the mainframe, the blue indicator lights in the underground data center flickered wildly. I stared at the code dancing on the screen, cold sweat trickling down my spine. The encrypted files I had stolen from Xing Chen Technology's server three days ago were now being peeled away layer by layer by my homemade decryption program.
"Warning: Level 7 firewall breached, remaining time 12 minutes 38 seconds."
The cold air from the ventilation ducts blew my bangs up as Chen Mo's voice suddenly came through my earpiece, distorted with urgency: "They've discovered that the backup power has been activated! The security team is heading to Level B3!"
My fingers flew across the keyboard as I called up the monitoring interference program I had prepared long ago. "Delay them for ten minutes."
"Are you crazy? This building has 37..."
"Nine and a half minutes will be enough." I cut off communication, tightening my nerves like a bowstring. The progress bar on the screen was like Damocles' sword; it was the only key evidence proving that Hengsheng's upper management was involved in financial fraud.
When the progress bar reached 89%, I heard a faint sound of metal doors sliding open behind me. My blood ran cold—at this moment, no one should have been able to bypass my electronic lock.
"Should I commend your courage or lament your naivety?"
Lin Yue's voice made my finger hover over the enter key. Turning around, she leaned against the door of the server room, her champagne-colored silk shirt glowing eerily under the blue light of data. In her hand was a mini stun gun glinting coldly.
"The monitoring interference program is well done, but unfortunately, you forgot that Level B3 has an independent power supply with an iris recognition system." She walked in on her ten-centimeter heels, each click against the floor sounding like a death knell. "Hand over the USB drive; as an old classmate, I'll let you leave Hengsheng with dignity."
I stepped back to protect the host and asked, "Since when did this start? The transfer of Zhang Ming was all part of your scheme, wasn't it?"
