"If we get caught, don't blame me. I haven't touched a computer for a year. I'm a bit rusty," Chen Er said, a little sweat breaking out on her palms. She turned to give Liang Xuyi a heads - up in advance, lest he shift all the blame onto her if they failed.
Liang Xuyi looked extremely nervous, with the muscles on his face stiff. "I... I won't blame you. If I get caught, remember to visit my grave next year. Bring some flowers or something. At least I won't be lonely."
Chen Er didn't expect Liang Xuyi to be able to crack a joke at this critical moment. For a moment, she also relaxed and began to fully immerse herself in the process of cracking.
Liang Xuyi stared at the computer screen without blinking, fearing any mistakes. Behind Liang Xuyi and Chen Er, Jiang Cong's expression became strange.
His gaze lingered on Chen Er from time to time, being careful not to let Chen Er notice his scrutiny, lest she get distracted and ruin Liang Xuyi's plan.
Liang Xuyi was a shrewd man, but he had never done anything extremely evil. Jiang Cong had no reason to harm him.
Chen Er's fingers moved quickly on the keyboard. The room fell into silence, with only the sound of the keyboard and the light breathing alternating.
Jiang Cong recalled the incident when Qin An's computer in the police station was remotely controlled and the mysterious person sent a message.
At that time, the technicians in the technology department had studied for several days but still failed to find out where the person's IP address was from. Although everyone had forgotten about the mysterious person due to their preoccupation with solving the case, Jiang Cong had always had this knot in his heart.
Now seeing Chen Er cracking the virus, Jiang Cong couldn't help but connect these two things.
Could that person be Chen Er?
It only took Chen Er twenty minutes to successfully crack the virus - style firewall set by Liang Jiacheng. Liang Xuyi handed the prepared USB flash drive to Chen Er, and the relevant data was quickly copied.
After the thrilling dozens of minutes just now, the shirt on Liang Xuyi's back was almost completely soaked. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and the joy of surviving a disaster enveloped him.
"Great! I'm saved! I..." Just as Liang Xuyi was about to give a long speech to express his gratitude to Chen Er and Jiang Cong, Jiang Cong pushed Liang Xuyi out of the room with a dark face.
Liang Xuyi banged on the door and roared heart - rendingly, "How can you do this! Although I'm saved now, can't we bond a bit? I'm really sad about your cold - heartedness!"
Jiang Cong ignored Liang Xuyi's wailing. Soon, there was a commotion at the door.
Chen Er pressed her ear against the door and listened carefully to the movement outside.
Liang Xuyi looked at the couple in front of him and fully utilized his good looks. He lowered his head and kept twisting his fingers, making sure that the old couple could clearly see the grievance on his face.
"What's wrong, kid? You're here alone. Do you know the people inside when you're knocking on this door?" the old woman asked lovingly, stroking Liang Xuyi's face.
Sure enough, Liang Xuyi was acting like a drama queen. But thinking that Jiang Cong had already helped him a great deal, he didn't want to delay Jiang Cong's business any longer. So he just went with the flow and said, "No. I just... just miss my grandpa. I can't find him. He's gone forever."
This was true. Liang Xuyi missed Liang Bo day and night. He wanted to stand in front of Liang Bo's tombstone openly and kowtow to him to admit his mistakes.
The tree desires calm but the wind will not subside; the son desires to serve his parents but they are no longer alive. This is the most helpless thing in the world.
The old man, who had a serious expression at first, didn't want to pay attention to Liang Xuyi. But perhaps he was touched by his words, and his expression softened. "In that case, do you want to come with us? We're not bad people. We're retired professors. If you don't trust us, you don't have to come."
Liang Xuyi only thought for a moment and then firmly grabbed the hands of the old man and the old woman, walking in the middle. It was a harmonious scene.
Liang Xuyi left just like that. After taking revenge, punishing Liang Jiacheng, and getting the antidote from him, he still lived with the old couple who took him away that day.
Liang Xuyi was just too lonely. Even though he was extremely wealthy, there was no one behind him. That's why he kept acting like a child day after day, craving the brief warmth from others.
Now, he got what he wanted. After experiencing misfortune, Liang Xuyi knew better how to cherish the present.
Chen Er reported everything that happened outside the door. When it finally became quiet again, Chen Er opened the door and peeked out, looking around. The corridor was empty. It seemed that Liang Xuyi had really left with the old couple.
"He's really bold. Isn't he afraid of jumping out of the frying pan into the fire?" Chen Er let out a sigh of amazement. But she also knew that although Liang Xuyi seemed to act without following the rules, every step of his had deep meaning. He wouldn't let himself fall into danger again.
Jiang Cong obviously understood all these subtleties. He stood up, walked up to Chen Er, and trapped her in a small corner against the wall. "Everyone has their own choices. Neither you nor I have the right to interfere with his decision. Moreover, if he continued to follow us, he would only be in the way."
Chen Er struggled to look up and could only barely see Jiang Cong's smooth and well - defined jaw. His sexy Adam's apple rolled up and down as he spoke.
Chen Er could feel Jiang Cong's firm muscles through the white shirt. They were so strong and tight.
An ambiguous atmosphere gradually spread between them.
"Just talk. Why are you getting so close to me?" Chen Er said, trying to break this ambiguous moment.
Jiang Cong got even closer and calmly uttered two words, "Kiss you."
Then, Jiang Cong leaned down and pressed his thin lips against Chen Er's plump and alluring cherry - like lips that he had coveted for a long time.
Their lips and tongues intertwined. Chen Er tried to lean back but was firmly held in place by Jiang Cong's hand. She could hardly breathe and could only weakly clutch the front of Jiang Cong's shirt, leaving it wrinkled.
After the kiss ended, Chen Er's face and neck were bright red. The rapid beating of her heart made her feel even more ashamed.
Jiang Cong undid the top two buttons of his shirt, revealing his sexy collarbone, exuding an air of laziness and decadence. "Do you like it?"
Chen Er was extremely embarrassed and turned her head, refusing to look at Jiang Cong.
Jiang Cong didn't intend to let Chen Er off so easily. Just as he was about to kiss her again, an untimely phone ring interrupted his action.
