Chapter 141 The War on the Dark Web
As night fell, Lin Chuyue stood at the window of her office on the top floor of the Lin Group building, overlooking the city lights. Her eyes were calm and sharp, but her heart was churning with turbulent emotions. The enemy was in the shadows; she was in the light. Every step they took was fraught with malice and calculation, and she had to be faster and more ruthless than them.
"President Lin, this is a record of all possible online activities related to 'Nighthawk'." Yan Bo handed over a thick report, his expression serious.
Lin Chuyue flipped through the documents, her brows furrowing slightly: "Their operation is scheduled for next Monday, which means we have five days. Within five days, we must comprehensively upgrade our defenses and find a breakthrough to counter them."
“The technical department has already started encrypting the financial system, but this organization is very experienced, and I’m afraid defense alone won’t be enough.” Yan Bo paused, his gaze hesitant. “Should we contact the police to intervene?”
Lin Chuyue shook her head: "We can't alert them now. If the police take action, they might retreat, and we'll lose our chance to track them down."
At this moment, Li Zhanchuan pushed open the door and entered, holding a document in his hand, his eyes as sharp as an eagle's: "Chuyue, I have had some people investigate some intelligence about 'Night Hawk.' They are not just a hacker organization, but more like a transnational criminal group with financial backing behind them."
"Financial support?" Lin Chuyue quickly grasped the key information. "Who is it?"
Li Zhanchuan sat down and placed the documents in front of her: "According to my clues, the source of the funds is very likely related to an overseas conglomerate, and this conglomerate has cooperated with Shen Fang before."
Lin Chuyue's eyes turned cold as she slowly said, "Shen Fang's henchmen are truly everywhere. It seems that this time we must uproot them completely to solve the problem."
That evening, Lin Chuyue convened an emergency meeting with the technical team to discuss how to deploy targeted defense measures in a short period of time.
During the meeting, Lin Chuyue proposed a bold plan: "Instead of just defending, we should take the initiative. We can use fake data to set a trap, lure the 'Nighthawks' into it, and then follow the clues to find their core stronghold."
The CTO hesitated slightly: "Mr. Lin, this plan is very risky. Once they discover that the data is fake, they may retaliate directly or even accelerate the attack."
Li Zhanchuan spoke calmly, breaking the silence: "There are risks, but it's the only way. As long as we control the pace, we can lead them into our trap."
Lin Chuyue nodded, her tone firm: "We have no way out in this battle. They want to destroy the Lin family, so I must completely thwart their plans before they can make a move."
After the meeting, Lin Chuyue stayed in the office to process documents. Time passed quietly, and the sky outside the window was already turning white.
Li Zhanchuan walked in with a cup of hot coffee and gently placed it beside her: "You've been up all night, can you still hold on?"
Lin Chuyue looked up at him, a faint smile playing on her lips: "I'm fine. But Mr. Li, when did you start caring about my health?"
Li Zhanchuan raised an eyebrow slightly, his tone tinged with a hint of a joke: "I care about you because you're important. After all, I don't want my partner to fall at a crucial moment."
Lin Chuyue was slightly taken aback, smiled and lowered her head, but did not say anything.
Li Zhanchuan looked at her, a soft look in his eyes: "Don't be stubborn, Chuyue. You're not facing this alone. I'll be with you."
These words warmed Lin Chuyue's heart, and a glimmer of light returned to her weary eyes: "Okay, I believe you."
Meanwhile, Gu Yanchuan was also operating covertly. He contacted several overseas cybersecurity experts through personal connections and used the Gu family's resources to investigate the background of "Nighthawk".
In a quiet private office, he stared at the investigation report on the screen, his fingers lightly tapping the table. The report detailed the operations of "Nighthawk," and Lin Chuyue's name appeared repeatedly, like a shadow piercing his heart.
"You always shoulder everything yourself, it's really worrying," Gu Yanchuan said in a low voice, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
He picked up his phone and dialed a number: "Contact the expert I mentioned earlier. I need him to come to China as soon as possible."
A voice answered the phone, and Gu Yanchuan hung up with a long sigh of relief. He knew he couldn't stand idly by or do nothing in this battle. He wanted to do everything in his power to silently protect Lin Chuyue, even if she never noticed.
Five days passed in the blink of an eye, and by Monday morning, the Lin Group was already on high alert.
Standing in the conference room, Lin Chuyue watched the busy figures of the technical team and felt a complex mix of emotions welling up inside her.
Li Zhanchuan stood beside her and asked in a low voice, "Are you nervous?"
Lin Chuyue shook her head, her gaze firm: "As long as the plan is executed properly, they will definitely reveal their weaknesses."
Li Zhanchuan nodded, a faint smile curving his lips: "Alright, then we'll see how you perform."
Meanwhile, Gu Yanchuan's expert team had also quietly taken their positions. The alliance of these three forces was destined to push this battle of offense and defense to its climax.
