Chapter 74: Mastering High Technology

In the afternoon, Lu Yan had already informed the most skilled hacker in the Lu family, S, to wait for him at home.
At this moment, S was playing games in the study. When Lu Yan entered, he quickly took off his headphones. He looked like a young man who looked barely twenty years old. “Young Master is back. What do you want to investigate? Let’s start now.”
Lu Yan first led Mei Shu to sit on the nearby sofa and then calmly said, “Retrieve the surveillance footage from last night in the corridor outside the grade director’s office in our school.”
“Is that all?” S widened his eyes in astonishment, but seeing Lu Yan’s serious expression, he didn’t say anything else. He turned off the game and quickly hacked into the school’s surveillance system.
“Oh, the surveillance has been deleted!” S smirked confidently. “No big deal, I can fix it in a minute!”
His computer skills were top-notch, and although someone had clearly tampered with the surveillance video, using some tricks to make it difficult for him to recover it, those tricks were basically useless for S.
Sure enough, a minute later, S had done as he promised and triumphantly snapped his fingers. “Done!”
Lu Yan and Mei Shu kept their eyes fixed on the screen.
In the footage, a thin figure suddenly appeared in the otherwise empty corridor.
It was clearly a female student who seemed very cautious about being caught in the act. When she arrived at the grade director’s office, she even looked around surreptitiously.
It was this moment when she turned her head that the surveillance captured her face.
It was a girl that Mei Shu didn’t recognize.
She subconsciously looked at Lu Yan, who also appeared puzzled.
“Can you find out who this person is?”
Mei Shu suddenly asked.
S nodded confidently. “Of course, who do you think I am?!”
He quickly took a snapshot of the girl’s face from the surveillance footage, adjusted the clarity, and then searched it in the information database. In no time, the computer emitted a “ding” sound as a notification.
“Found her. Let me see.” S unlocked a document with a series of codes and then all the information about the girl was displayed. “Huang Nan, 17 years old, underage!”
Mei Shu frowned, “Check where she went and whom she met after leaving the grade director’s office.”
S glanced at her unintentionally and suddenly became curious about her relationship with Lu Yan. He deliberately made things difficult, “Miss, I am a hacker employed by the Lu family, not your subordinate. Why do you command me so naturally?”
“Don’t waste time. Just do what she asked,” Lu Yan didn’t understand why this guy suddenly had an issue with Mei Shu.
This was Mei Shu’s first time coming to his house since returning from the countryside. He didn’t want to leave a bad impression on her, making her reluctant to come again in the future.
He still remembered that when they were young, Mei Shu used to come to his house to eat and play together with him. At that time, his mother also welcomed Mei Shu’s visits. However, he didn’t know why, but everyone’s attitude had changed now.
“Fine, fine, I’ll retrieve the surveillance right away, OK?” S didn’t dare to confront him directly and reluctantly began working.
Mei Shu suddenly became interested and said, “I think I’ve seen enough just now. Can you let me try it myself?”
“You want to recover the surveillance yourself?” S exclaimed in surprise, then quickly seized on another point, “You said you only watched for a while just now and learned it that quickly? Are you kidding? When I learned this skill from my master, it took almost a year just to get started!”
Why was this girl so good at bragging?
Did she want to show off in front of Lu Yan?
It wouldn’t be surprising given the Lu family’s current status and Lu Yan’s charming look. It was normal for girls to take the initiative to get close to him.
But he had never seen someone cling to him so desperately!
He couldn’t believe Mei Shu really learned that quickly!
“It seems like I really learned it. Can I just give it a try? If I make any mistakes, you can guide me, and I’ll pay the tuition!” Mei Shu said earnestly, her eyes shining brightly.
S and Lu Yan looked at each other in bewilderment, but eventually, S reluctantly gave up his seat in front of the computer. “Alright, but don’t mess around. There’s a lot of important data on my computer. If you mess it up, it’ll be a big loss!”
“I understand,” Mei Shu said nonchalantly.contemporary romance
She was just retrieving the surveillance footage, not touching anything else. How could she possibly have broken the computer?
But S was visibly uneasy. Seeing that Mei Shu had already placed her hands on the keyboard, he nervously reminded her, “If you can’t do it, let me handle it. I can finish it quickly, so as not to delay Young Master Lu’s time!”
“Just let me try,” Mei Shu didn’t intend to give up her spot for him.
In front of Lu Yan, S couldn’t directly drive her away, so he reluctantly sat next to Mei Shu and kept an eye on her hands, afraid that she might do something stupid and crash his computer..
