Xue Xi did not know that Xiang Huai's fingers were currently on the keyboard, typing codes furiously. Not only did he prevent Nicholas from intruding, but he also interfered with his calls to Xue Xi.
The two hackers exchanged blows. As Nicholas was the attacker and Xiang Huai was the defender, Nicholas was at a disadvantage.
After fighting for an hour, Nicholas gave up and established a channel to talk to Xiang Huai.
Nicholas said, "Xiang, are you so afraid that I'll convince her to go?"
Xiang Huai leaned back in his chair with a sharp gaze. "I'm not afraid."
Nicholas said, "Then why don't you let me talk to Ms. Xue for a while longer?"
Xiang Huai said coldly, "You're delaying her studies."
"…"
After a moment of silence, Nicholas said, "Xiang, let go. It's unfair to trap her by your side. Do you think she's really happy?"
