Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group

Chapter 970: Chapter 945: Another Encounter with a Hacker Attack

As soon as Ye Chen hung up, the phone rang.

He glanced at it; it was Su Qing calling.

”Xiaoqing, what happened?” Ye Chen asked.

At this time, if Su Qing was calling, something must have gone wrong with the company.

”Ye Chen, something happened at the company. You should come quickly,” Su Qing said anxiously on the phone.

Su Qing was always a calm person, so something serious must have happened at the company.

Ye Chen didn’t dare delay for a moment. He rode his electric bike to the courier point, then drove his car towards the company.

Seeing Ye Chen return, Manager Li Dafu was somewhat surprised: ”Ye Chen, what’s going on?”

”Manager Li, could you help me deliver these packages? I have something urgent,” Ye Chen said, then started his sports car and left.

The Lykan roared away like an arrow, leaving only the taillights for Li Dafu to see.

Even though Ye Chen spoke like that, Li Dafu wasn’t angry, as Ye Chen was the boss.

He could only comply, delivering all the packages Ye Chen didn’t have time to.

Ye Chen parked the car downstairs and quickly ran into the building.

When he reached the president’s office, he saw Su Qing with a furrowed brow. Opposite her was Zheng Siyuan, and many tech personnel were also present, including the world-class hacker Lamo, whom Ye Chen had rallied.

Seeing the scene, Ye Chen asked, ”Xiaoqing, what exactly happened?”

”Ye Chen, I’m sorry, there’s a problem with the system,” Su Qing said, embarrassed.

Zheng Siyuan also had a solemn expression: ”Chairman Ye, there’s a new hacker attacking our security system incessantly. We’re barely holding on. If this continues, the system will be breached, and our trade secrets will be leaked, causing massive losses to our company.”

”How bad is it now?” Ye Chen asked.

”The hacker has breached the sixth level of our security system; if they continue, our defenses will fail,” Zheng Siyuan said helplessly.

Ye Chen frowned upon hearing this. To have reached this level, the hacker is not ordinary; they’re a world-class hacker.

For some reason, seeing Ye Chen come, Su Qing felt relieved as if she saw a savior.

She believed that as long as Ye Chen was there, this issue would be resolved.

Besides, last time, didn’t Ye Chen defeat the hacker called Lamo?

Su Qing believed this time was no exception. So, she didn’t say anything further, just watched Ye Chen handle the situation.

”Can you hold on?” Ye Chen asked.

The opponent had already breached the sixth level of security defense and showed no signs of stopping, aiming aggressively for the seventh level.

”Mola, can you hold them off and retaliate?” Ye Chen asked Lamo, who was sweating and defending fiercely.

In fact, Lamo was his hacker name; his real name was Mola.

Lamo, with a stern expression, gritted his teeth and said, ”I’m struggling. The opponent’s skills are clearly superior to mine.”

Upon hearing this, Su Qing widened her eyes.

Lamo was ranked among the top in the hacker world, but the opponent was even stronger; what a terrifying existence that must be.

Ye Chen frowned and asked, ”Can you trace the opponent?”

Lamo sighed, shaking his head: ”The opponent is far superior, so I can’t capture their information.”

”Strange! Why would a world-class hacker target Yida Group? Besides, Ye Chen has no personal enemies outside, so why would someone oppose him?” Ye Chen wondered.

”Ye Chen, I don’t understand why a world-class hacker would attack our security system. We have no grudges against them,” Su Qing voiced her doubts.

”I think someone must have hired them.”

These hackers are driven by money; as long as someone pays, they’ll do it.

After all, there’s a saying, ’Money makes the world go around,’ and it’s quite true.

Su Qing, frustrated, asked, ”Who’s behind this mischief?”

”The Shadow Shield project is nearing completion. Once successful, it will be leading nationwide, and all internet-related industries will prioritize considering our Group.”

”This project’s success will bring immense profits to the Group.”

Despite being angry, Su Qing was very calm, which convinced Ye Chen even more he hadn’t picked the wrong person.

Though originally belonging to Ye Chen, he had burdened Su Qing to work tirelessly for his benefit.

Ye Chen felt it was time for him to act since Su Qing couldn’t handle it.

”We abandon the seventh layer and start the eighth layer of defense,” Ye Chen commanded after some thought.

Lamo and Zheng Siyuan, surprised, said: ”Chairman Ye, abandoning the seventh layer means a significant portion of customer information will be exposed.”

Ye Chen, without a moment of hesitation, said firmly, ”Hurry up, do as I say, don’t waste a second. Any loss incurred, I’ll take full responsibility.”

Zheng Siyuan knew he couldn’t persuade Ye Chen and could only look to Su Qing for help.

”President Su, doing this is indeed unwise.”

Su Qing immediately said, ”Do as Chairman Ye said.”

Seeing Su Qing side with Ye Chen, Zheng Siyuan gritted his teeth: ”Abandon the seventh layer, start the eighth layer of defense.”

In an instant, all the tech personnel ceased work on the seventh layer defense and quickly initiated the eighth layer program.

After seeing their actions, Ye Chen commanded again, ”Hurry and copy all data to the twelfth layer.”

Hearing this order, Zheng Siyuan was also startled.

The twelfth layer’s defense wasn’t fully developed; errors could cause data loss.

”Quick, do as I say,” Ye Chen said.

Without waiting for Zheng Siyuan to react, Lamo and other tech personnel began copying data, transferring it to the twelfth layer as instructed by Ye Chen.

Ye Chen watched the opponent’s attack speed and the tech personnel’s copying process, closely monitoring the situation.

Despite having a calm expression, his heart was racing intensely.

This was a critical moment, a race in speed.

Watching the data bar slowly progress, everyone held their breath; the room was dead silent.
