“What?” both Jessie and Ewan exclaimed in unison.
“Didn’t the intrusion prevention system deal with it?” said Ewan with a gloomy expression.
Wiping his sweat, the assistant said, “It did. But the hacker’s too good. We couldn’t stop them at all!”
The expression on Ewan’s face was horrible.
The financial system of a company was the most private part of a company. If the hacker had attacked with bad intentions, like modifying their accounts, they wouldn’t be able to explain their way out of it during the board meeting at the end of the year.
This would mean that all their efforts made this year would go to waste.
“Show me.” Ewan said to the assistant, “I’m gonna see who is bold enough to mess with the Hunter Group.”
When the staff of the finance department saw Ewan; they panicked and their fingers went so stiff that they couldn’t tap the keyboard at all.
The assistant rushed them. “Hurry up and stop the hacker. Or else, all of you will have to leave tomorrow.”
The staff were horrified to hear the warning. Instantly, their fingers went alive and they started typing frantically.
After ten minutes, all of them finally sighed in relief. “Phew. Everything is finally back to normal!”
The others present at the scene also let out a sigh.
It was especially so for Ewan. He had originally thought that the hacker was some real big shot, but it seemed like they were just some ordinary hacker.
As expected, his staff weren’t that bad at all.
Just when Ewan had eased up slightly, there came another panicked voice from the outside of the finance department.
“Oh no, President Hunter! Our project department was also hacked by the hacker.”
“What the hell!” cursed Ewan as he darted toward the project department.
It seemed like the hacker had a plan in mind.
However, Ewan wasn’t sure which company he had offended recently. Why was the Hunter Group suddenly under attacked?
But now was not the time to figure that out. His top priority was to stop the hacker from deleting his account.
The IT specialists of the project department were wiping off their sweat and they couldn’t even speak clearly. “President Hunter, we’re not sure who the other party is. The five of us were defeated by them!”
When Ewan heard that, his expression turned gloomy and his voice was as terrifying as hell. “Where’s the supervisor? Is there nothing he can do too?”
“P-President Hunter, I’ve tried everything I could. There was no way I could stop the attack!” The supervisor panicked. “I’m afraid that no one in the company can do anything about it.”
“B*stard!” Kicking the supervisor harshly, Jessie exclaimed, “Do you think Dad employs you to just sit around and chill?”
At this moment, Jessie was also very nervous. If the Hunter Group was finished, her title as Miss Hunter would be stripped away from her too.
“No one in the company has any idea?” With a dreary expression, Ewan repeated, “Then who else can do it?”
As soon as he finished talking, the crowd went silent for a second.
No one at the scene dared to take a breath.
Not long after, it was the supervisor who stood out again. With a palpitating heart, he said, “P-President Hunter… We should find a hacker to help us out!”
As he said that, every IT specialist present at the scene was in agreement. “I think so too, President Hunter.”
“Yeah. Maybe a hacker would have some ideas.”
“But, it would cost a lot to hire an excellent hacker.”
“But…”
“How much does it cost for a top hacker?” asked Ewan with a dim expression.
Trembling, the supervisor replied, “I heard it costs at least eighty million.”
The crowd was shocked by the price.
“Eighty million? They should just rob the bank!”
“Yeah. How could they ask for so much?”
“How dare they charge eighty million for a service they could do in half an hour?”
Listening to the chattering of the people around him, Ewan was infuriated. “Shut up! If it really costs eighty million, just give it to them! Bring one to me, now!”
“Got it, President Hunter!” The somewhat insightful assistant immediately asked his subordinate to get him the contact number of a hacker.
When Janet was typing on her keyboard, her phone vibrated suddenly. Picking up the phone, Lee’s voice was on the other end. “Janet, Ewan is trapped!”
“Haha!” Chuckling softly, Janet continued, “Are they looking for me now?”
