Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

On the screen, the file transfer had reached ninety-nine percent, but it got stuck.

Xu Wanwan took a deep breath, her eyes firmly staring at the screen.

A few seconds later, some words appeared on the screen—

“File transfer successful.”

Feeling relieved, she stood up and looked out the window at the gradually brightening sky, the corners of her mouth rising slightly.

Fortunately, her efforts were not in vain.

She was finally able to help Li Jingran.

——

The lights in the study were turned off as the first rays of morning sunlight shone through the window. Li Jingran stared at the time on the clock without saying a word.

“Director Li, we got the data back!” The Butler pushed the door open and barged in, his voice oozing with joy.

Li Jingran’s tensed emotions relaxed. He tapped his index finger on the table and said in a light voice, “Find that hacker, I want to thank them in person.”

“Okay, I’ll contact them right away,” said Butler before running out.

Ten minutes later, the Butler ran back inside and explained, “Director Li, I went to check this person, but I didn’t find any useful information. I only found their QQ number when they accepted the mission.”

Li Jingran looked at the number that popped up on his phone and frowned slightly.

He picked up his phone, copied the number, and sent a request to add them as a friend in the line of adding contacts.

“The payment has been sent?”

The Butler suddenly thought of something and said in confusion, “It’s strange. The account left by the hacker seems to be fake. I transferred the money early in the morning, and the notification said that the transfer failed.”

“The account is also fake?” Li Jingran was puzzled. He picked up his phone and looked at the other party’s QQ message.

The username was Just A Bunny, and the profile picture was also a cartoony white rabbit.

Apart from that, there was nothing else to see.

The Butler said, “I’ve never encountered such a situation before. Why don’t I go and check again?”

“Okay, go ahead.”

After the Butler left, Li Jingran put his phone aside and didn’t check any further.

After Xu Wanwan finished her task, she asked the counselor for a leave of absence. She immediately muted her phone and computer and went to sleep under the covers.

It was not until late afternoon that she woke up in a daze. She turned on her phone and looked at the time before opening QQ.

There were ninety-nine new messages in the group, and she felt too lazy to look at them. Just as she was about to exit the app, she saw a request to add her as a friend.

She had bought this account from someone, so the people around her did not know about it. Who would add her as a friend?

While she was puzzled over this, she saw the request to add her as a friend.

“Li Group.”

Xu Wanwan instantly felt awake, holding her phone tightly as she sat up. She clicked on the other party’s profile picture and looked at it carefully.

A stallion was galloping forward with its legs raised against a pure black background. The style was oppressive and dark.

Xu Wanwan complained in her heart, “This is quite in line with Li Jingran’s style.”

But where did he get her QQ account?

She had specifically told the Group Owner not to reveal her private account. Could it be that the Group Owner had lied to her?

Xu Wanwan did not think too much about it. She accepted Li Jingran’s friend request and then sent a private message to the Group Owner.

“Group Owner, did you forward my QQ number to Li Group?”

The Group Owner replied in an instant, “You’ve done the Li Group a great service this time, and they asked me for your contact information in order to show their appreciation.”

Xu Wanwan: “Other than my QQ number, what other contact information was given?”

Group Owner: “I know that this industry is very concerned about personal privacy, so other than revealing your QQ number, I didn’t give anything else. By the way, they said that there’s a problem with your account and that they can’t transfer the payment. Take care of this.”

Xu Wanwan: “No need, I don’t want the payment.”

Group Owner: “? ? ?”

Xu Wanwan did not reply again.

She had deliberately frozen her account before because she was worried that Li Jingran would discover her.

There was no way she would reveal her account just to get an honorarium.

She only wanted to help him silently behind the scenes and did not want to reveal anything to others.

The Group Owner was completely dumbfounded and sent another message. “I’ve been the Group Owner for so many years, but I’ve never seen anyone who doesn’t want payment. Aren’t you very short of money? This is a lot of money, are you sure you don’t want it?”

Helpless, Xu Wanwan had no choice but to reply. “I know that this reward is very generous, but the Li Group has done me a favor. I don’t want money.”

After thinking about it, she was afraid that the Group Owner would be in a difficult position, so she sent another message. “If the Li Group asks, just say that I’m just returning the favor and don’t want money.”

The Group Owner finally understood and sent an OK.

Xu Wanwan let out a sigh of relief and opened the group chat to take a look.

There were a lot of messages in the group chat with many people tagging her.

Third Brother Is The Most Handsome: “@Just A Bunny, you’re really something! I heard from the Group Owner that you’ve completed the mission. This is simply unbelievable.”

Liu He: “@Just A Bunny, we have to congratulate you. You’ve just arrived and you’ve already completed two requests. Your strength is simply giving us a beating.”

Some people gave recognition, but of course, there were also people who were dissatisfied.

“So what if you’re capable? Who knows, there might be an old man behind the screen pretending to be a little girl. What a hypocrite.”

“I also feel that no one who’s only eighteen can complete such a difficult mission. Aren’t you treating us like fools?”

Third Brother Is The Most Handsome couldn’t stand it anymore. “Don’t be jealous here. I happen to be throwing a birthday party tonight. Why don’t we all come and get to know each other?”

When he said that, many people in the group responded enthusiastically.

“So be it. Who’s afraid of whom? Anyway, I’m not hiding my identity.”

“Sure, we’ve been in the group for so long and haven’t gotten to know each other. Now that we have a chance, it’s no problem for us to come out and meet.”

“Of course, there’s no problem for us. It’s just that I don’t know if Just A Bunny will give us face.”

Third brother Is The Most Handsome tagged Xu Wanwan. “@Just A Bunny, I’m hosting a birthday party tonight. Can you come?”

Xu Wanwan was stunned for a few seconds when she saw this message. “Tonight?”

Third Brother Is The Most Handsome. “Yes, tonight. There should be a lot of people in our group who’ll be attending. Can you give me face and come as well?”

Xu Wanwan did not want to attend these kinds of parties at first, but she remembered that Third Brother Is The Most Handsome would always speak up for her before. It would not be a problem for her to attend the party since it was his birthday.

After thinking for a while, she replied, “Alright, send me the address. I’ll come over in a while.”

Third Brother sent her the hotel address. “Everyone, come over.”

Xu Wanwan closed her phone, rubbed her eyes, and got out of bed.

Since she was going to a party, she should wear something more formal.

From her closet, she took out a knitted long dress for autumn, then put on a goose yellow cardigan. She then wore some light makeup and prepared to go out.

Just as she reached the door, a cold voice came from behind her—

“You’re going out at night?”

Xu Wanwan was startled, and as soon as she turned around, she saw Li Jingran looking sullen.

The problem troubling the company had been solved, so logically speaking, he should be happier...

“Well, I’ll be attending a birthday party that my friend is throwing,” Xu Wanwan whispered as she observed the man’s expression.
