As soon as Wei Qing entered the monitoring room, she closed the door and asked in a low voice, "Shiya, where are you?"
Dai Shiya poked her head out from behind the equipment cabinet and signaled Wei Qing to keep quiet. Wei Qing walked quickly to her side and asked nervously, "How is it, have you found any evidence?"
Dai Shiya shook her head and raised the USB flash drive in her hand: "We only found some data fragments, and we haven't had time to restore them yet."
Wei Qing looked at Dai Shiya's tired expression and said distressedly: "It's too dangerous here. We have to leave as soon as possible."
"No, we can't leave now!" Dai Shiya held Wei Qing's hand. "These data fragments are very important. They may be the key to overthrowing Dai Hua."
Dai Shiya pointed to a pile of abandoned equipment in the corner and said, "I need to use these devices to restore the data, but time is running out. I am afraid that I can't do it alone..."
"I'll help you!" Wei Qing said without hesitation, "Tell me everything you know."
Dai Shiya felt warm in her heart and began to quickly explain the principles and steps of data recovery to Wei Qing. Although Wei Qing was not a computer major, she was smart and quick to understand and was able to help quickly.
The two of them worked in perfect harmony and worked nervously. Dai Shiya stared at the screen intently, her fingers quickly tapping on the keyboard, lines of code pouring down like a waterfall. However, the encryption method of the data fragments was very complicated, and the restoration process was not smooth. The progress bar seemed to be frozen and there was no progress.
"Damn it!" Dai Shiya cursed, beads of sweat oozing out of her forehead.
"What's wrong?" Wei Qing's heart was in her throat.
"The data encryption method is very special. I need some time to crack the algorithm..." Dai Shiya bit her lip tightly, her brain working rapidly, trying to find a way to crack the password. As time passed, the atmosphere in the monitoring room became more and more tense.
Suddenly, Dai Shiya had a flash of inspiration, as if she had thought of something. She excitedly grabbed Wei Qing's arm and whispered, "I know..." "I know!" Dai Shiya excitedly grabbed Wei Qing's arm and whispered, "Although the encryption method is complicated, the algorithm has a fatal weakness. I can use this to reverse crack it!"
Wei Qing looked at her in surprise, with hope in her eyes, "Great! What do you need me to do?"
Dai Shiya calmly analyzed: "The most important thing now is time. I need you to help me buy more time." She paused and pointed at the door of the monitoring room. "Dai Hua's people should be outside. Go and make some noise to lead them away. Remember, don't make too much noise. Make them think it's just a small problem."
Wei Qing nodded in understanding, her eyes sparkling with wit, "Don't worry, leave it to me!" After saying that, she turned and left the monitoring room, closing the door gently.
The corridor was silent, with only the indicator light in the monitoring room emitting a faint green light. Wei Qing lowered her footsteps and tiptoed to the distribution box at the end of the corridor, pretending to check the circuits, fiddling with the wires from time to time.
"Huh? What's going on?" Wei Qing deliberately raised her voice and muttered to herself, "Why is the voltage suddenly unstable?"
In the monitoring room, Dai Shiya listened to Wei Qing's voice, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, her fingers tapped the keyboard faster, lines of code poured down like flowing water, and the progress bar of data recovery began to move forward slowly.
At the same time, Dai Hua's confidant Aken heard the noise, walked to the distribution box, and asked impatiently: "What's wrong? What happened?"
Wei Qing pointed at the flickering light in a panic and said, "It seems like there's something wrong with the line. The voltage has been unstable."
Aken looked at her suspiciously, then looked at the switchboard and said disapprovingly, "It's okay, it's an old problem, don't worry about it."
"But..." Wei Qing wanted to say something else, but was interrupted impatiently by Aken, "Alright, alright, go do your thing and don't get in the way here."
Wei Qing was secretly happy, but pretended to be helpless on the surface and turned away from the distribution box. She walked to the corner of the corridor and secretly observed the movement at the door of the monitoring room to make sure that she had successfully attracted their attention.
However, Wei Qing didn't know that her actions had attracted the attention of another person. Since the last conversation with Dai Shiya, Dai Yong's suspicion of Dai Hua has deepened. He always felt that Dai Hua was hiding something, and the things in the monitoring room might be the key.
So, Dai Yong quietly came to the vicinity of the monitoring room under the pretext of patrolling. He hid behind a pillar and secretly observed the movements around him. When he saw Wei Qing coming out of the monitoring room and deliberately creating chaos in front of the distribution box, he became more certain of his guess.
"What are they doing in there?" Dai Yong frowned, his heart full of confusion and anxiety.
In the monitoring room, Dai Shiya was completely unaware of the undercurrents outside. She was concentrating on the computer screen. The progress of data recovery was close to 90%, and the dawn of victory was just around the corner.
Suddenly, Dai Hua's voice came from outside the door, "Aken, are you in there?"
Dai Shiya was startled and looked up at the door. Why did Dai Hua come here suddenly?
Aken quickly responded, "Yes, Brother Hua, what's wrong?"
Dai Hua's voice was getting closer and closer. "I have something to ask you..."
Dai Shiya's heart sank suddenly, and an ominous premonition came to her mind. She turned her head to look at the door and said firmly, "It's too late..." "It's too late..." Dai Shiya gritted her teeth and quickly typed the last few lines of code on the keyboard. The progress bar has reached 98%, 99%...
At this critical moment, suddenly, a sharp alarm sounded throughout the monitoring room, the red warning lights flashed wildly, and the dazzling light illuminated Dai Shiya's nervous face.
Damn it! The system is overloaded and the alarm is automatically sounded! Dai Shiya cursed inwardly. This sudden change caught her off guard. If the alarm cannot be turned off in time, Dai Hua will definitely rush in immediately!
"What's going on?!" Dai Hua's voice outside the door was full of anxiety and suspicion. He slammed the door of the monitoring room, "Aken! Open the door!"
Dai Shiya was extremely anxious, with beads of sweat oozing from her forehead. She quickly scanned the operation interface, trying to find a way to turn off the alarm. However, the alarm system was specially encrypted, and she couldn't find the turn-off button for a while!
"Aken! Are you deaf?!" Dai Hua's roar became louder and louder. He began to bang hard on the door of the monitoring room, and the metal door made a teeth-grinding creaking sound.
Dai Shiya's fingers were shaking, and she was about to lose control. She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. Don't panic, there must be a way! Her eyes fell on an inconspicuous red button on the main chassis. It was a manual emergency stop button, which could not be used unless it was absolutely necessary, because it would interrupt all processes and cause data loss.
But now, she has no choice.
Dai Shiya pressed the red button hard, and the piercing alarm stopped abruptly. The monitoring room returned to silence, with only the hum of the host cooling fan echoing. At the same time, the data recovery progress bar also stopped at 99%, motionless.
Outside the door, Dai Hua's banging on the door also stopped. "What's going on? Why is there no sound all of a sudden?" He asked in a low voice, his tone full of confusion and vigilance.
"I... I don't know, Brother Hua." Aken's voice was trembling a little, "Maybe it's a system malfunction..."
Dai Shiya held her breath, listening to the noise outside the door, her heart pounding. She knew that Dai Hua would not give up easily, and he would definitely find a way to get in.
She must find the key evidence before Dai Hua comes in!
Dai Shiya quickly restarted the system. Fortunately, the data was not lost. She started the recovery program again. The progress bar slowly moved forward and finally reached 100%!
Data recovery completed! Dai Shiya couldn't wait to check the restored surveillance records, and sure enough, she found it!
In the surveillance video, Dai Hua and a technician sneaked into the monitoring room. They skillfully operated the equipment, tampered with the surveillance records, and put all the evidence that originally pointed to him on Dai Shiya. Although the video is a bit blurry, it is enough to prove Dai Hua's crime.
However, this is only partial evidence. The video does not show how they tampered with the data, and more importantly, their purpose for tampering with the data. Dai Shiya knew that she needed more evidence to completely expose Dai Hua's conspiracy.
At this moment, the door lock of the monitoring room made a slight "click" sound.
"Aken, open the door!" Dai Hua's voice was cold and resolute.
Dai Shiya suddenly raised her head and looked towards the door, with a look of determination in her eyes. She quickly copied the recovered data into a USB drive and hid it in her pocket. Then, she took a deep breath and walked to the door... "I'm here."
