Facing anyone else, Song Ling could have taken immediate action, but the one before him was Jiang Yue, and without concrete evidence, he couldn't rashly harm her.
After returning to his company, Song Ling received an encrypted call.
Baua, with a hint of excitement, inquired, "Brother, are you participating in the hacking competition?"
Song Ling, puzzled, asked, "Hacking competition?"
Baua, surprised, explained, "You haven't heard of it? It's starting today in the Capital, and I remember you're in the Capitaltoo. Didn't you get an invitation?"
Recalling an envelope he had seen recently, Song Ling pressed his temple and apologized, "Sorry, some family issues came up. I won't be able to make it this time."
Baua urged, "This hacking competition is a rare opportunity. It might be years before the next one. We've known each other for years but only online. Please come this time; it'd be great to meet in person."
