Is Janet trying to retrieve the surveillance footage? With her skills? Is she joking? If it’s true, it’s the greatest joke of the year! Lynette couldn’t help smiling at the thought of Janet making a joke of herself in front of everybody.
On the other side, several hundred students had crowded around outside the chancellor’s office. They gathered there because of Janet. Then, various conversations sounded outside the door.
“No way! Even Professor Hobbs couldn’t restore the system, yet Janet volunteered to give it a try?!”
“Is she joking?! I have to admit that being the top scorer is amazing, but that doesn’t mean she is invincible in every field, right?”
“Tsk. Tsk. Isn’t Miss Jackson a little too fearless?”
When Madelaine heard the discussion going on around her, she couldn’t help mockingly saying, “Tsk. She has always been pretentious since high school. It turns out she hasn’t changed even after entering university. Who doesn’t know how lacking she is? Does she really think that she is a hacker?! How ridiculous!”
Her words led to a heated discussion among the other students. They asked her, “Are you from the same high school as Janet?”
“Uh-huh. She was so pretentious back in high school. Also, she always used her own strength to—”
Janet lifted her gaze and glanced at Madelaine without saying anything. Even so, Madelaine stopped talking. That cold stare made her feel extremely uncomfortable; it roused an inexplicable sense of guilt and fear in her.
“What do you think, Mr. Goldstein?”
Robert shook his head and ignored Charlie. It’s not like I can tell Janet to give up as soon as possible since her efforts will be useless, right? She is one of Mason’s people. How could I dare to say anything to her?
Charlie touched his chin awkwardly. In any case, all he had to do was watch. If even Mr. Goldstein doesn’t dare to say anything, then I won’t even dare to fart!
After Janet turned on the computer, she immediately connected to Woodsbury University’s system. There was a small smile at the corner of her mouth as her slender fingers tapped against the computer without stopping. Speaking of which, I was one step away from breaking into Woodsbury University’s system when I got called over by Mr. Goldstein. Now, I have to start all over again. She smiled confidently. Not many have better computer skills than me in this world. Not long after that thought ran through her head, the computer screen flickered.
“What’s going on?” Everybody was bewildered.
She furrowed her eyebrows slightly as her fingers continued to fly across the keyboard. I can’t believe that it’s more difficult to retrieve the video now that the system has crashed. How interesting! Her lips curved into a smile, and she kept writing recovery codes without stopping.
On the other hand, the group of men behind her were scowling deeper and deeper too. Janet didn’t even need to look at the keyboard. She squinted slightly, tapping each key with great precision and speed as if it was intuitive to her.
As time passed, Jason nodded in approval at the speed of her fingers. I did not expect Miss Jackson to be so skillful. Perhaps, she might actually be able to restore the entire system.
However, the onlookers standing outside the office were starting to get bored since they had no idea what was going on inside. Such a long time had passed, and yet Janet was still sitting in the chair without moving. They didn’t even know if she could actually pull it off.
Abby wiped her sweat away and worriedly looked inside. “I shouldn’t have let Janet go inside.” If Janet fails to restore the system, how many people would ridicule her for it? Especially certain people…
