Chapter 5

The house was dark and silent. Qiu Lai twisted the anti-theft lock until the end. She walked into the bathroom almost as fast as possible until the door cracked, and as if she had received an instruction, her feet became soft and she sat down on the cold tiles of the bathroom.

She groped and opened the shower head to the maximum, and looked for a brush while taking off her clothes, and washed every inch of her skin hard. From beginning to end, she wanted to cut off the places where the person touched.

Every movement and breathing involves the back. No matter how light the tremor is, it feels like tearing. Only by holding onto the edge of the bathtub will it seem less unbearable. Whether it is shampoo or shower fluid, you can apply it to your body as long as you take it into your hands.

Various fragrances mixed with mist rose up, and the warm water vapor sucked into the lungs and became extremely cold.

Xu Qiulai's restraint and psychological defense finally collapsed until this moment.

She hated herself for being weak and powerless, and could bully anything from a fucking camp, hated the ruthless and cruel world, and even hated the irresponsible couple who left Qiu Tian and her parents behind.

The door moved slightly at this time.

At this moment, her senses were extremely sharp, and she turned her head almost the moment the sound sounded.

"Qiulai, are you crying?"

The little girl's voice came through a door, as cautious as she was afraid of disturbing her.

Qiu Tian had already slept, but the sound of water in the bathroom had been heard for a long time. She got up to see when she heard someone crying. She was not sure because Qiu Lai never cried.

Xu Qiulai was reminded to realize that his throat was choking, and even lost his breathing due to sobbing too hard. Every time he gasped, his back nerves were hurting heartily.

The bath water mixed with tears and couldn't tell the difference. She raised her hand and wiped her face and said hard: "Why are you crying? I didn't cry! Why do I cry? Xu Qiutian, why do you always disobey when you tell you to go to bed at nine o'clock? Go back to bed immediately, don't bother me anymore!"

An answer came from outside the bathroom after a while.

"I'm going to sleep now," Qiu Tian whispered: "Sister, I'm sorry."

As the footsteps went away, Xu Qiu came to turn off the faucet.

Her skin was cold all over, and water dripped onto the ground, and she opened the bathroom door.

A brown bear fell down and leaned against her instep. Xu Qiulai stood silently for a long time, bent down and picked it up and placed it on the coffee table. Next to it was Xu Qiutian who finished writing the homework that she needed to sign. She had difficulty signing and put it back in her schoolbag after signing one by one.

This terrible night was not over. The skirt I took off had to be washed and returned to the store. The cracked ribs needed something to fix.

She found a few anti-inflammatory drugs and water in the drawer to swallow it, waited for the washing machine to dry her skirt, threaded a needle under the light, and repaired the collar that had been torn to pieces.

The gloves were still half wet, and it was impossible to tell whether the mimeographs of the snacks were washed in the morning. They rubbed them twice and rinsed them out twice the time. They were slow and almost took twice the time.

The evening breeze blew up the gloves and the water marks fell on her face.

Then, Xu Qiu came to open the storage room, moved one carton after another, and found a dusty iron box on the bottom of the last cabinet.

After two or three seconds, she wiped off the dust with her sleeve and pulled the password to open it. There were only a few photos in the box, and two or three black USB flash drives, which were the viruses and codes she wrote to play with before.

Xu's father went to the United States to study in Princeton at the age of 17. Xu's mother is a top student in the Department of Mathematics and Sciences of QU. She has a family background. Xu Qiu learned to hold a mouse when she came to walk. In the era when the first generation of home PCs in China were first appeared and could be a computer teacher by typing, she already knew how to write a key to crack the boot lock set by her father.

At the age of 16, he followed the national training team to participate in the International Olympic Mathematics Competition and entered the top three. Xu Qiulai once wanted to devote his life to mathematics during his adolescence, but if all this happened later.

The Internet is definitely one of the fastest changing places in the world.

Just ten years ago today, her father wrote about Guanghe Exit, the best antivirus software in China. He founded the largest Internet security company in China with four like-minded friends. Their strong friendship and incredible entrepreneurial history are well-known.

Guanghe's anti-virus guards are even more popular. Its defense is high and deep trenches, which are indestructible. The company has even been confident that it has set up a tens of thousands of dollars in loophole reward program to wait for those who have the ability to break them.

But to this day, everything has been forgotten.

Her father's company, her father's software, also includes her father.

The laptop is turned on and placed on the knee. Xu Qiulai connected the USB to the computer port. The data was quickly read. The hard drive speed suddenly increased. The resonance and the noise of the fan were mixed. After half a second of black screen, a familiar mark popped up on the desktop.

Just over two years ago, Xu Qiulai used the code in the U disk to successfully invade the largest Internet company in China, and regarded countless small websites as her back garden... Of course, the starting point for doing these things was just because she was interested. At that time, she had no worries about food and clothing. Apart from taking down several illegal foreign websites, she had almost never done any extraordinary actions, and never made any profit for herself from beginning to end.

The only time I was discovered was not because of her technical problems, but because her teammates were too naughty.

It was the first semester of high school. Her former friend Ji Shi'an's final exam score fell below a record low. She asked her to help modify the transcript of the school system.

Ji Shian's father was very fierce and could not bear to have his friend beaten up when he came home, so Qiu Lai agreed.

The school’s final exam papers are directly ordered and reviewed. After that, the academic affairs teacher checks and uploads the scores directly to the system. The system automatically edits the ranking and sends text messages to the parents’ mobile phones. That is to say, Xu Qiulai successfully modified the uploaded scores. As long as Lu Shi'an intercepts the papers sent to his home in time, no one will notice them.

Unexpectedly, after Lu Shian received the final exam bonus from his home, he flew directly to Norway to ski. He had a lot of fun. What's even more unreliable is that after the babysitter took out the school email from the mailbox and handed it to Ji's father, he couldn't stand the torture and offered her a gift.

When Xu's father came home that night, although he didn't beat her up like Ji Shi'an's father, he was so ugly that he asked her if she knew where she was wrong.

Qiulai remembered that she answered at that time: "I know, I should find the reference answer directly before the final exam, so no one will find it."

That was the most serious time when her father remembered.

He realized that his education had been deviated and frowned and asked her, "How powerful do you think you are?"

He asked this not to mock his child, but to really ask her to make an estimate of her level. Xu Qiulai thought about his past record and replied modestly: "It should be barely at your level."

Xu's father, a big cybersecurity giant from the academy, is naturally better than Xu Qiulai in terms of knowledge and experience. However, hackers and network engineers are different things. Programmers need to work hard to build airtight barriers, while hackers only need to seize the none of the loopholes and sneak into their defenses.

Xu's father thought for a long time and finally decided to teach her a lesson in person and ask her to attack her website.

When the teenager had the most brain power and hand speed, Xu Qiu came out and found an Internet cafe at will and grabbed a large server to work for herself. Although she had worked hard, she did successfully enter the website backend. She even walked around in an orderly manner, and then wrote a gadget to erase the log files more than seven standard times. Regardless of memory, buffers, CPU and disk data, cache data, etc., all the traces that had arrived were deleted. After exiting, she used overseas virtual machines to add VPNs to perform multiple jumps, completing a seamless invasion.

But I never thought that from the beginning, Xu's father did not want to compete with her on offense and defense, but instead called several subordinates from the technical department to catch her.

Xu Qiu came home, and her escape route, the IP, number of the Internet cafe she used, and the surveillance videos she entered the Internet cafe were all clearly placed on Xu's father's desktop.

He said: "Qiu Lai, do you understand? If the police got these, you can no longer sit opposite me."

"I know that as long as you want, you can change the data of the game company to pass the pass. You can add a bunch of unlimited zeroes to the bank card balance and take any open online ticket purchase free transportation... But all of this, as long as you are once, you only need to be discovered once, and your life will have unexplained black spots. Ares was able to escape legal sanctions because he was only thirteen years old, and you are already sixteen. These clevernesses could have a bright future when used in other places."

"Dad just hopes that you can be open and honest throughout your life and be a generous and open person, rather than hiding in the dark to be king."

...

Xu Qiulai remembered these words back then, sealed her gadgets in the box, and turned around and threw them into the arms of the math teacher.

But now, go to the right fucking way!

Her father is the most open-minded person in the world. He may be suitable for being an engineer and a scholar, but he is not suitable for being a businessman. He is generous and open to the world, but in the end he died in the frame-up of his close friends.

The bad guy is full of energy and wealth, and only he, the good guy, was bullied to death, and his two daughters live in poverty and poverty.

Many of Xu Qiulai's extraordinary things are due to her ability to remember everything, but she hates her ability to death.

Because no matter how long it has passed, the negative emotions that existed in her memory will still exist. In detail, every detail is so clear that it is revealed. Once you recall it, you will inevitably feel the same as you did at that time, which makes her feel depressed. She could only pretend to remove them in her mind, but this pretending only temporarily puts the files in the recycling bin that may be recovered at any time.

Time is the best medicine for others, but it won't be hers. If you don't want to be depressed all day long, Xu Qiulai can only learn to choose the happiest things every month to cover negative things. Of course, this kind of coverage is limited to deceiving yourself when you are in a calm mood.

And now, she doesn't want to deceive herself anymore.

How fragile are modern social networks in the protection of personal information?

For Xu Qiulai, as long as she is given a computer that connects to the network cable, no matter how small the clues are, they are enough to trace the root cause.

The Focus Internet Cafe receives about 200 customers per day, and the anniversary celebration has doubled. Subjectively, she is not willing to remember these complicated and useless information to interfere with her daily life, but the fact is: whether she wants it or not, these memories will automatically be stored in her mind.

There was no need to search, Xu Qiulai remembered the name Yu Guang scanned when the man handed over the ID during the day.

Xu Jingjing.

This name is very feminine, not his, but the owner of the ID may have some connection with him. The screenshots of the Internet cafe monitoring are very clear, so he kept lowering his head and compared the unrecognizable screenshots with the photo information database to the project volume and the accuracy is too poor. The fastest way is to start with that name.

After excluding six women of the same name in the same city, Xu Qiu came to find Xu Jingjing, who left a boot record at the Focus Internet Cafe that afternoon.

At the age of 27, the age of the criminal was similar. Following the woman's relationship with friends and relatives, she found that she had a three-year-old son and husband of the same age. Her husband worked in an auto repair shop at the north end of the city, and the family of three rented a house in an old building near the auto repair shop.

Xu Qiulai tried to find out the photos of her husband, but found that the man had never appeared on any of her social platforms, including various storage spaces. It was not until she was caught off guard by the ID photo bar in the upper left corner of an old file that she saw the trembling face.

She clenched her fists and closed her eyes, took a deep breath to calm herself, and saved the screenshot of the archive.

The ID photo was constantly enlarged and sharpened, and the outline of that face continued to coincide with the details she remembered in the dark.

It was this beast. He took his wife's ID card to the Internet cafe in the university town on the other end of the city. After reading a bunch of fantasy novels, he hid in the dark alley waiting for the prey to pass by.

If another girl passed by the road tonight, he might have succeeded. Squatting until Xu Qiu came was an unexpected surprise, but it was also the beginning of his miserable life.
