Chapter 449: Never Intended to Win
But Yan Sijue insists that Xin has a bigger plot.
Although the two have differing opinions on this matter, it does not prevent them from being wary of Xin. So, while Xin remains in the Information Security Department, he cannot often see Yan Sijue. Currently, the only subordinate who frequently meets with Yan Sijue is Yang Ru. Mu Yiliang had once expressed curiosity about this all-capable assistant, Yang Ru, only to have Yan Sijue darken his face and refuse to answer, almost showing Yang Ru an unpleasant expression, scaring Mu Yiliang into not daring to ask another question.
Interestingly, however, half a month has passed, and although Xin is clearly in City A, he has not appeared at the Yan Mansion since, seemingly truly focused on his work.
Mu Yiliang couldn’t help but think that if Xin’s target was indeed Yan Sijue, and if she had appeared earlier, she might not have been a match for her. Look at her methods; she holds a significant favor yet says nothing about repayment, subtly appearing around Yan Sijue, gradually increasing her presence. Mu Yiliang even conspiratorially thought that the sudden incident involving that political figure at this critical moment might very well be Xin’s handiwork!
Fortunately, her man is a bit dull-witted, Mu Yiliang thought with relief.
There were only two days left on her bet with Yan Sijue, and Mu Yiliang actually no longer believed she could find the vulnerability, but she still has not given up trying. While she was making her final effort in the study, Xiaoze wandered in and said, "Hey, mommy, your dedication is really touching, you know."
Mu Yiliang snorted, "Do you think I’m like you?"
"Since that’s the case, let me help you." He sat down next to Mu Yiliang with a tone of benevolence.
"Thank you so much..." Mu Yiliang suppressed the urge to roll her eyes.
"You’re welcome, you’re welcome!" He sat down beside her.
On the screen, a virus that Mu Yiliang had just written was running. Xiaoze glanced at it, somewhat shocked, "This... mommy, have you already found it?"
"What?" Mu Yiliang lazily scrolled her mouse, suddenly widening her eyes!
"That’s not it, just here and here..." Xiaoze pointed twice with his finger, "Though not obvious, it can barely be considered a vulnerability, right? Mommy, did you use a new algorithm?"
"To be precise, it’s an old algorithm... I was really out of options, so I wrote a program in a very ancient language. I didn’t expect..." Mu Yiliang also felt a bit speechless, what they call unintended favors turning into hidden blessings, this is it!
"Hahaha! Not bad, mommy, you won!" Xiaoze was also overjoyed at this result.
"Uh..." Mu Yiliang, however, showed a hesitant expression.
"Mommy, what’s up?" Xiaoze initially thought she would be excited, but she didn’t seem to be.
"I never thought I could find this vulnerability..." Mu Yiliang showed a troubled expression, "Now what should I do?"
Xiaoze shot a contemptuous look at her, "Shouldn’t you be boasting in front of Daddy?"
Mu Yiliang gave him an annoyed glance, then looked back at the screen, hesitated, and said, "Not telling him about this vulnerability doesn’t seem to matter... no, this isn’t good either, after all, it’s an imperfect part. Ignoring it would be fine if undiscovered, but now that I’ve found it, how can I act like I haven’t?"
Xiaoze looked at her like she was an alien, "Mommy, what are you talking about!"
"I never intended to win this bet with your Daddy." She said gloomily.
