Lin Chen quickly launched a reverse intrusion.
Mitchell was very cautious, circling the globe several times. Unless someone was significantly stronger, it would be difficult to find him in this situation.
Honeypot systems might deceive him temporarily, but Mitchell was strong. Given enough time, he would definitely realize he was being tricked.
"Damn, this guy is really cunning."
Lin Chen muttered to himself.
He cracked through twenty or thirty jump servers in a row, using a variety of different techniques. Even grandmaster-level experts, if they didn't understand one of the techniques well, might alert him.
But Lin Chen didn't have that problem.
His hacking skills were at the grandmaster level; his knowledge in this area was comprehensive and at the grandmaster level!
"Found you!"
A few minutes later, a smile appeared on Lin Chen's face.
Mitchell had disguised his computer as a zombie machine, hoping trackers would skip it, but his tricks didn't fool Lin Chen.
"What's going on?"
"Why do I feel like something's not right?"
Mitchell murmured to himself.
Lin Chen's honeypot system was good, but Mitchell was highly skilled and exceptionally cautious. He had keenly sensed a slight anomaly.
"No way."
"This money isn't worth it."
Mitchell quickly began erasing the traces he had left behind.
A faint smile appeared on Lin Chen's face.
While Mitchell was erasing his tracks, Lin Chen thoroughly investigated him.
He knew how much money was in Mitchell's bank account, his home address, and which relatives and friends he had.
Lin Chen silently copied all the data from Mitchell's computer. The things on his computer were enough to put him in jail for life.
Mitchell was cautious; he didn't take on those million-dollar or even multi-million-dollar tasks, but he had accepted quite a few tasks worth tens or hundreds of thousands.
The penalties for these tasks were not light either.
Added up, he would need to serve at least two hundred years!
"Phew!"
After clearing all traces and unplugging the network cable, Mitchell breathed a sigh of relief. No one should be tracking him.
"No, that's still not safe. I need to change locations. I'll go to Africa for a month."
Mitchell thought to himself.
He quickly packed his things, preparing to run away.
"Bang!"
However, before Mitchell could finish packing, his door was kicked open, and several police officers rushed in.
"Don't move!"
"Hands off the computer, now!"
The police officers pointed their guns at Mitchell and shouted sternly.
"It's over."
Mitchell's face was extremely ugly.
In this situation, how could he not know that he had encountered a top expert who had already investigated him and "thoughtfully" called the police for him?
The police had kicked down the door, and the other party had likely already submitted some evidence of his crimes to the police.
"Damn!"
"I was fine for over twenty years, but I didn't expect to fall in the end."
"If I had known, I wouldn't have messed around in China."
Mitchell's face was extremely ugly.
He had done a lot of things in China before without any consequences, but in recent years, with China's increasing national strength, the risks of causing trouble in China had increased.
China's network security department was now very strong.
He had been careful enough, but he didn't expect to capsize.
"Take him away!"
Mitchell was soon handcuffed and taken away.
...
Mitchell's apprentice was still leading his men in the attack.
He didn't know that Mitchell had already fallen.
Lin Chen easily found out their identities and found a lot of evidence of their crimes on their computers.
However, Lin Chen didn't find any connection between them and the Tianhe Group.
Zheng Qingshan and the others weren't that stupid.
Hiring hackers to attack was not something they could do openly; they definitely had to guard against being caught.
"Should I use hacker methods to target the Tianhe Group?"
Such a thought popped into Lin Chen's mind.
But Lin Chen quickly dismissed the idea. With his strength, even if he did so, others might not be able to find evidence. It was better to solve it with normal means.
Hacker methods were a double-edged sword.
It could indeed quickly deal with enemies, but if he did so, how would others view him?
Even if others couldn't get evidence, they would suspect him.
Who didn't have a little secret?
If he used hacker methods to attack, would those super-rich people and officials be wary of him?
It was okay for him to use such methods against hackers, but it would be a bit too much to use them against others.
"Forget it, I'll play with you slowly."
"It's endless fun to fight with people!"
Lin Chen muttered to himself.
He closed his computer and left the study.
Lin Xiaoxi looked up at him and said seriously, "Daddy, I don't understand this question. Can you teach me?"
Lin Chen sat on the ground next to Lin Xiaoxi. He looked at the question. Lin Xiaoxi was already doing fifth or sixth-grade questions, and they were still math competition questions.
Most sixth-grade students couldn't do such questions.
"Xiaoxi, where don't you understand?"
Lin Chen asked.
Lin Xiaoxi: "Daddy, this place—"
Soon Lin Chen explained it to Lin Xiaoxi, and Lin Xiaoxi suddenly understood: "Daddy, I understand. Daddy, am I very stupid?"
"I don't know how to do many questions."
Lin Chen's expression was strange. She was not yet three years old and had almost finished learning sixth-grade math competition problems. If Lin Xiaoxi was stupid, then he was just a blockhead.
"Xiaoxi, you're not stupid at all."
"When Daddy was as young as you, he wasn't as smart as you. You will be very powerful in the future."
Lin Chen kissed Lin Xiaoxi and smiled.
"Mmm-hmm."
"Daddy, I want to become as powerful as you too."
Lin Xiaoxi said seriously.
Lin Chen: "Xiaoxi, Daddy will give you a similar question to the one just now. Solve it."
"Okay."
...
Xu's Group, Manager Li breathed a sigh of relief.
The enemy's attack was over.
But Manager Li was a little surprised. The enemy's attack ended very suddenly, and they retreated without even cleaning up the traces.
Little did he know that an enemy had already invaded the server, but the enemy had entered the honeypot system set up by Lin Chen.
And the enemy was now caught.
"President, I have something to report to you—"
Manager Li reported today's situation to Xu Mengyao.
After Xu Mengyao listened to the report, she said: "Manager Li, you have worked hard. Don't touch the system in the background. It should have played a significant role."
"Yes, President."
Manager Li retreated.
Xu Mengyao dialed Lin Chen's number: "Husband, the company's server was attacked again just now—"
After Xu Mengyao finished speaking, Lin Chen chuckled: "I have already found out this wave of enemies and informed the local police. They will eat prison food."
A look of surprise appeared in Xu Mengyao's eyes.
"Husband, so fast?"
Lin Chen: "Wife, what are you saying? You will know in the future that your husband is definitely not fast."
Xu Mengyao: "..."
She娇嗔 said: "Husband, you still have to drive on a broken road."
Lin Chen said with a smile: "Calm down, your husband's driving skills are much better than his hacking skills."
