The programmer said, "I am sorry. After what happened today, I know now that I am not as good as I thought I was. There is always someone better than me. I finally witnessed the disparity between me and an actual skillful expert."
He went on, "I really can't solve it. Even if you deduct my salary and my bonus or even fire me, I will have no complaints. You can also ask someone else to give it a go and see if anyone else is able to solve this issue. I am unable to do it."

After all, the programmer was not lying about his skills.
The hacker was just too powerful.
"Do you have anyone you can recommend?" Hou Wu asked.
He didn't know much about this industry.
