Huo Yao picked up her phone after coming out of the shower. Her lips twitched when she saw the text notifications on it.

  Unknown Caller: [Are you done yet kid? Shouldn’t you be doing your homework at this hour of the day?]

  Unknown Caller: [I just created a firewall, but you hacked it. Did you have to do it?]

  Unknown Caller: [It was one thing for you to send the files forcibly, but did you have to encrypt them as well?]

  Unknown Caller: [Did you think I couldn’t crack it?]

  The text messages were sent ten minutes ago.

  After Huo Yao was done reading the messages, another message came.

  Unknown Caller: [Damn you. Hurry up and give me the password.]

  Huo Yao leaned against the table. After a minute, she replied unhurriedly: [Do you admit defeat?]

  Unknown Caller: [Fine, you win. Send me the address. I will send someone to install the system tomorrow.]

  Huo Yao quickly sent her new address.

  A minute later, Huo Yao received a reply: [Dude, is this private property?]

  Huo Yao: [Of course. Did you think it’s the National Defense Building or something?]

  The man sitting in front of the computer could not help cursing when he saw Huo Yao’s text message.

  Huo Yao: [The password is 23333. Be sure to stick to your word. Bye-bye. I’m going to do my homework.]

  Unknown Caller: [……]

  Huo Yao put down her phone happily. She walked up to the dressing counter and started blow drying her hair. After that, she climbed into the bed with a happy sigh.

  It was a peaceful night.

  After Huo Yao went to school the next day, the doorbell rang at the Huo residence slightly after 1:00 pm.

  Song Ning and Huo Jinyan had just finished lunch and were about to rest when they heard the doorbell chime. Huo Jinyan looked at the monitor at the door and saw two unknown men. He contemplated briefly before walking out.

  “You are?” asked Huo Jinyan through the gate without opening it.

  “Hi, is this the Huo residence?” The middle-aged man in the front bowed politely with a black case in his hands.

  “Yes, it is,” replied Huo Jinyan as he nodded.

  “We are here to install a security system. Here are our credentials. Is this a good time for you?”


  Huo Jinyan recalled her daughter mentioning last night that some technicians would be here to install a security system. Were they the ones?

  His eyes landed on their credentials. The company name was written in English with a diamond-shaped logo on the side.

  He had never heard about them before.

  Maybe it was not a renowned company.

  Huo Jinyan quickly veered his eyes away and opened the door.

  The two men had parked their vehicle inside the villa and walked in with the black case.

  Huo Jinyan glanced at the car outside and noticed that it was a rather ordinary Volkswagen before closing the door.

  After going back into the house, Huo Jinyan saw them opening the black case deftly before retrieving a laptop, equipment, and cables.

  He recalled that they had already installed a system, so he said tactfully, “We already installed a security system, so you just need to check if there are any problems with it.”


  After all, her daughter was the one who hired them, so it did not seem right for him to tell them to leave.

  The technician only smiled without saying a word and continued to work.

  Huo Jinyan did not get in their way. Instead, he stood by the side and looked at the laptop screen curiously.
