Chapter 122: Phantom Plan (2)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

There were two hidden codes that had been inserted into Amy’s system secretly and the typical detection system was not capable of locating it. Even the most profound programmers would miss it if he did not pay much attention. However, Jin Xiangdong was a genius. Just like Jason said before, the computers are so advanced today but Jin Xiangdong’s brain was not inferior.

In addition to the basic applications, Jin Xiangdong had programmed Amy’s system according to Lu Jia’er personal interests. There was actually no motive to change it. However, it had actually happened.

Jin Xiangdong copied the entire program that had been changed in Amy’s system as he wanted to decode it later.

After he finished reinstalling the program, Jin Xiangdong unplugged the data cable to restart Amy.

“Hi, I am Amy, I am happy to serve you!” Amy’s voice sounded in the house again.

“My little Amy is back!” Su Han smiled as she stroked Amy’s face.

Amy blinked its eyes and stared at Su Han innocently.

“Are you done?” Lu Jia’er asked.

“Yup.” Jin Xiangdong closed his notebook as he answered.

“Amy went out on its own, was there a bug in the system?” Su Han turned to ask Jin Xiangdong as she stroked Amy’s face..

“Yeah, there was a bug, but I have fixed it.” Jin Xiangdong took a glance at Su Han

“That’s good, I thought that my little Amy was stolen.” Su Han breathed a sigh of relief.

Hearing this, Lu Jia’er and Jin Xiangdong exchanged a gaze and went out to check the video from the surveillance cameras. To their surprise, not only did the video clip from the surveillance camera in the elevator get lost without a trace, the same went for the surveillance camera at the main entrance.

Lu Jia’er and Jin Xiangdong were shocked. Even the staff for the property’s control room were puzzled as this had never happened before.

“Was there anyone who came into the control room earlier?” Jin Xiangdong asked.

“No, I have been here since I came into work today and I never leave this room.” A man in his early thirties replied.

“Did you notice anything weird in the surveillance cameras between two ten to two fifteen in the afternoon?” Jin Xiangdong continued asking.

“I couldn’t remember the exact time, but I saw a flash in a few monitors after two o’clock. However, I did not pay much attention to them since they were quickly back to normal.” Another young staff member who stood at the side answered.

Hearing this, Jin Xiangdong came to the conclusion that the surveillance system was hacked this morning..

“Make a police report,” Jin Xiangdong said.

“Professor Lu, is there anything missing in your house?” The man in his thirties asked.

“No, but my robot suddenly went out by itself and the video record was deleted. Don’t you think this is suspicious?” Lu Jia’er answered.

“Great to know that you didn’t lose anything. I will make a police report right away.”

Lu Jia’er and Jin Xiangdong walked out of the control room in bewilderment.

“Do you think somebody is targeting us?” Lu Jia’er looked at Jin Xiangdong.

“Don’t worry. Perhaps, it was just a prank.” Jin Xiangdong took a glance at Lu Jia’er. This incident would no doubt frightened Lu Jia’er. Jin Xiangdong could not help but hold onto her shoulder as he spoke to her.

“I don’t think it’s as simple as you said.” Lu Jia’er disagreed with Jin Xiangdong.

Lu Jia’er had always been smart and even Jin Xiangdong felt that his words were not capable of comforting her. However, he was very sure that the hacker was an IT expert as he could hack the surveillance system and delete the records in such a short time period, without anyone noticing.

“Did you and Su Han offend anyone recently?” Jin Xiangdong asked.

“Of course not, Su Han has always stayed in the house and I have only been to school, your company, and the police station. We have never offended anyone.” Lu Jia’er answered.

“Do either of you have any other place to stay?” Jin Xiangdong asked after pondering for a while.

“No.” Lu Jia’er shook her head.

“Well, come stay with me,” Jin Xiangdong said.

“Stay in your house?” Lu Jia’er was slightly startled.

“Until I find any clues about this matter, both you and Su Han should stay in my home,” Jin Xiangdong said.

The things that happened to Amy and the surveillance system were extremely weird, but not dangerous. However, Lu Jia’er felt great that her boyfriend cared for her.

“Is it convenient for you?.” Lu Jia’er asked.

“I am fine with you staying with me but not Su Han.” Jin Xiangdong answered casually.

Hearing this, Lu Jia’er could not help but took a glimpse at Jin Xiangdong with a touch of shame on her face.”I feel that you are inviting me to cohabitate?”

“You can say it that way too.” Jin Xiangdong took a glance at Lu Jia’er.

Lu Jia’er blushed after hearing his blunt response. It was true that their relationship was more intimate after the trip but they just reached the stage of kissing. Even though Lu Jia’er could not deny that she’d thought of going further than just kissing, she could still control herself.

“Let me discuss with Su Han later.” Lu Jia’er said, her cheeks were like a blushing cloud.

“I’ll go home first. Come straight to my house after you have finished discussing it with her,”Jin Xiangdong said.

Lu Jia’er nodded silently.

Back in the apartment, once Su Han knew that some video clips of the surveillance cameras were deleted, her mind was full of fanciful thoughts of the implications of the lost video clips—horror movies, mystery, crime, sci-fi films, and of course, romance films.

At the end, Su Han chose the romance film and said, “Could it be a genius hacker has fallen for two exquisite beauties like us?”

“What are you babbling about?” Lu Jia’er poked at Su Han’s head as she asked.

Su Han merely grinned and then a chill suddenly ran up her spine.”When I think again, it’s truly scary. Should we move out?”

“Ace told me that we can stay at his house temporarily.” Lu Jia’er told Su Han.

“Ace told you so?” Su Han looked at Lugar with a burning gaze.

“Yup,” Lu Jia’er answered.

“It’s fine for you to stay there. But how could I stay in his house?” Su Han could not help but poked Lu Jia’er’s arm with affection.

“He told me the same thing.” Lu Jia’er stared at Su Han.

“What do you mean?” Hearing this, Su Han poked at Lu Jia’er again.

Lu Jia’er broke into laughter. Before she could answer, the doorbell rang.

There were two policemen who rang the bell. Lu Jia’er and Su Han a.s.sisted in the police report.

Amy poured two cups of juice and put it on the coffee table in the living room: “Uncle police, please help yourself.”

The eyes of the two policemen fixed at Amy. The design of AI nowadays was truly adorable. However, not everyone could afford such a high-technology robot.

“This robot was the one which went out by itself?” The policeman asked.

“Yes, but I suspect that it was taken out!” Lu Jia’er said.

“Is there any evidence?” The policeman asked.

“No, but the records of the surveillance cameras of this entire floor and main entrance have been deleted. This is very suspicious.” Lu Jia’er said.

“Is there anything missing in your house?” The policeman asked.

“No,” Lu Jia’er answered.

“You go and check the door’s lock.” One of the policemen said.

Another policeman got up and went out to check the door. He returned to the living room after a while.

“There is some powder at the door gap.” The policeman said.

“Call Huang from our team to come here to collect evidence,” the tall policeman nodded.

When Jin Xiangdong stepped into his apartment, Jason had just arrived.

“Are you torturing me? I have just come back from the trip and now you want me to start working.” Jason protested. He just reached home and thought of taking a nap when Jin Xiangdong called him.

“You are a decoding genius. Come and help me solve this.” Sitting on the sofa, Jin Xiangdong raised his head to look at Jason with a notebook in his hands.

Hearing this, Jason walked over leisurely while singing his own praises. “Well, I am no doubt the top of the world when it comes to decode a system. Give me one minute.”

Jin Xiangdong paid no regard to his brag and handed him the notebook.

Jason started working right after that and he had actually spent about ten minutes instead of one minute. However, he had successfully decoded the system.

“d.a.m.n! It’s blank!” Jason cursed.

“It’s blank?” Jin Xiangdong took a glimpse at Jason.

“Yeah, it’s so complicated. Yet, there’s nothing inside. That’s crazy!” Jason complained.

Hearing this, Jin Xiangdong sank into contemplation.

“Did you code this system? Are you a psycho?” Jason turned to look at Jin Xiangdong.

“No, I didn’t code this.” Jin Xiandong shook his head,

“Then who did this?” Slightly startled, Jason asked.

“I copied this from Amy’s system when I was at Professor Lu’s house.” Jin Xiangdong looked at Jason.

“Amy? When did you give it to Professor Lu? How many times did I ask for it but you refused. Now you are telling me that you actually gave it to Professor Lu? You truly have no regard for our years of friendship and value your lover over your friend.” Hearing this, Jason protested.

“Tell me about this system.” Jin Xiangdong disregarded Jason and said blandly.

Jason took a glance at the computer screen. “It is too powerful. A typical detection system would have never detected it.”

“You’re right.” Jin Xiangdong nodded.

“Hey, since you know this, you must be able to solve it yourself. Why do you call me here?” Jason complained.

“I am testing your decoding speed, and check if your skill has deteriorated.” Jin Xiangdong mocked.

It was true that Jason needed to improve his decoding speed. Little did he expect that someone would be capable of writing such a meticulous code, which was not inferior to Jin Xiangdong’s own.

“You said that this system was copied from Amy?” Jason regained his focus.

“Yup.” Jin Xiangdong nodded.

“Someone wants to challenge you?” Jason asked.

“I don’t know, but someone deleted the surveillance video of Lu Jia’er’s apartment.” Jin Xiangdong shook his head,

“What do you mean?” Jason stared at Jin Xiangdong, his eyes were full of doubts.

“Someone entered her house and took Amy out,” Jin Xiangdong said.

“Amy is missing?” Jason was lost in wonder.

“No, Amy returned not long after Lu Jia’er returned home. It went back by itself,” Jin Xiangdong answered.

“You are saying that not only did the person hack Amy’s system silently, but also invaded the surveillance system for Professor Lu’s apartment in a short period of time, short enough that they also managed to delete the surveillance records? This is not a typical programmer.” Jason had finally come to his senses.

“Apparently, our system is not perfect.” Jin Xiangdong frowned.

Seeing Jin Xiangdong’s face, Jason understood that for a programmer, the code that he wrote was like his own son and no one could hurt it and put in a gene that did not belong to him. Once it’s hacked, his son’s bloodline was no longer pure. In other words, once the program he wrote was hacked, it was a fatal blow to their self-esteem.

“However, what motive would such a genius programmer have to break into Professor Lu’s house and hack Amy’s system?” Jason narrowed his eyes.

“For the exact motive, we shall wait for police’s investigation results,” Jin Xiangdong said.

“In other words, someone is targeting Professor Lu and Su Han?” Jason was suddenly worried.

“Actually, I was thinking that if he wants to hack Amy’s system, there was no need to take Amy away,” Jin Xiangdong said.

In fact, this had puzzled him on the trip back. If the hacker was targeting Lu Jia’er and Su Han, he would not have done this on the same day and the exact time both Lu Jia’er and Su Han returned to their apartment.

“You are saying that the hacker did it on purpose?” Jason asked.

“That could be the reason,” Jin Xiangdong said.

Jason took a glance at Jin Xiangdong and quickly looked away.

“Could it be you are his target instead of Professor Lu and Su Han?” After pondering for a while, Jason raised his head and asked.
