And in the center of this sudden storm, Lu Huaijin's ears caught those panicked words. His body tensed instantly, and then he rushed swiftly and silently behind the group of people.

What was quite dramatic was that just as Lu Huaijin stabilized himself in front of those crucial laptops, those electronic devices that had just been out of control seemed to sense something and fell into a brief darkness collectively. After a few seconds of silence, the display screens lit up one after another.

Lu Huaijin's expression froze instantly and his face turned ashen.

"Investigate him, find him no matter what! If you can't find him, you don't have to continue!"

……

In a quiet hospital office, soft light shone on Zhu Feiwan's focused face. She gently closed the laptop in her hand, a playful smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.

Then, she placed her laptop securely in her custom-made computer bag, stood up, and methodically sorted out the scattered items on the desk, putting the necessary documents and personal belongings into the suitcase she was carrying.

The crisp sound of heels tapping echoed in the empty corridor.

She held a letter tightly in her hand and walked towards the dean's office with a clear goal.

Today, she specially picked out a pair of high-heeled shoes with smooth lines. The slender heels stepped on the cold floor tiles, making a crisp and pleasant "tapping" sound.

At this time, in the dean's office, several directors were gathered together, discussing in low voices how to properly handle the conflict between them and Zhu Feiwan. The air was filled with an awkward and uneasy atmosphere.

Zhu Feiwan didn't knock on the door, but pushed it open and strode in. Her calm appearance matched her simple yet elegant professional attire, which was in stark contrast to her usual white coat, which made everyone present stunned.

"Doctor Zhu, what's wrong with you?" The dean was the first to react. He quickly stood up with a professional smile on his face.

However, Zhu Feiwan did not waste any time on the small talk. He simply placed the resignation letter in his hand on the dean's chest. His tone was calm and resolute, and every word was powerful: "I resign."

"Resign? Why? You're working well here, why do you want to resign?"

The dean's face was filled with anxiety and confusion, and he reached out to stop Zhu Feiwan from leaving.

Upon seeing this, the other directors stood up and tried to keep her.

"Doctor Zhu, what's wrong with you? Why do you suddenly want to resign?"

"What we discussed yesterday was just a misunderstanding. There's no need for you to be so impulsive, right?"

Zhu Feiwan raised his eyebrows, a hint of indifference flashed in his eyes.

"Weren't you all discussing how to fire me yesterday? Then I will save you all the trouble and resign on my own initiative."

The directors' faces immediately turned red with embarrassment, and they lowered their heads, no longer daring to meet her sharp gaze.

Zhu Feiwan had no intention of explaining further and gently shook off the hand that Dean Sun was trying to hold him back.

"Doctor Zhu, if you leave, how are we going to explain to Master Zhao?"

There was a hint of helplessness and anxiety in the dean's tone.

"That's something you need to consider."

Zhu Feiwan did not look back. Her back seemed unusually determined and no one dared to step forward to stop her at this moment.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to deal with this sudden change.

……

The moment Zhu Feiwan left the hospital, light clouds were floating in the sky. She threw her packed luggage into the trunk of the car. Just as she was about to open the driver's door, the cell phone in her pocket rang at an inopportune time.

When I took it out and looked at it, it was a message from the dark web.

Recalling that last time she had contacted a dark web account named Liu Kuan in order to recover the hard drive data of the dash cam, she recognized at a glance that this was a message from Liu Kuan.

[Ms. Sunny, are you interested in taking on the next assignment? My employer wants you to investigate a hacker, and the reward is as high as five million.]

The corners of Zhu Feiwan's mouth rose slightly, as if she found such a suggestion amusing, and she put the message aside without hesitation.

Investigate yourself?

Such an absurd request made her laugh and cry.

Moreover, Lu Huaijin seemed to have forgotten that in this world, not everything can be measured and solved with money.

"Master, Sunny refused."

Liu Kuan lowered his head, not daring to look directly into Lu Huaijin's eyes that seemed to see through everything, and his tone was full of uneasiness.

Lu Huaijin leaned back in his chair, rubbing his temples gently with his fingers, feeling somewhat confident.

He believed that there must be some connection between this mysterious hacker and Zhu Feiwan, otherwise the other party would not have helped her hack into Wang Qiang's account and clarified the truth for her.

What really bothered him was the hacker's true identity. It was most likely Su Yan or Zhao Huai, both of whom were lingering shadows in his heart.

When Lu Huaijin thought that when Zhu Feiwan encountered difficulties, it was Su Yan or Zhao Huai who finally extended a helping hand instead of him, he felt an indescribable bitterness in his heart.

No, he must take action or make some kind of compensation, at least not let the misunderstanding between them get worse!

Meanwhile, somewhere else, in room 703 of the bustling Huaxing Hotel, a secret and secluded space, Zhu Lian and Lu Cunli were having a secret tryst.

Lu Cunli was tidying up his clothes, and the buckle of his belt made a slight metallic collision sound between his fingers, which was particularly harsh.

On the bed, Zhu Lian was naked, with red eyes. She hugged Lu Cunli tightly from behind with reluctance and longing, as if she was unwilling to let go.

"Cunli, you must help me. I can't go back to Pingcheng. What would I do there? I've gotten used to the life here and don't want to go back to that backward and secluded place."

There was a hint of pleading in her words, and her voice trembled slightly.

"Lianlian, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I really have no other choice. Who dares to disobey grandfather's orders?"

Lu Cunli's voice sounded full of powerlessness. He knew very well how pale his struggle was in the face of the majesty of his family.

Zhu Lian’s heart tightened.

When she thought of the unknown life in Pingcheng, her heart felt as if it was weighed down by a thousand-pound stone, making it hard for her to breathe.

What if she returns here after going through so much hardship, only to find that someone has replaced her in Lu Huaijin's place? How heart-wrenching that would be!

No! She would never allow this kind of outcome to happen.

After realizing that there was no way to retreat, the color on her face quickly dimmed, and her fingertips gradually loosened Lu Cunli's hand.

"Can you really be so cruel? Have you ever considered Mumu's feelings? He is your own flesh and blood! How can you bear to let him lose the care of his mother's love at such a young age?"

There was a tremor in her words.

"Mumu, why is it always Mumu? Zhu Lian, don't think that I can't see through your little tricks. What happened between you and Lu Huaijin was actually an elaborate scam. You used me and deliberately got pregnant in an attempt to tie Lu Huaijin down!"
