Soon, Emily discovered the information posted by the Hopkinson Group. Emily was looking for a chance. This was a good opportunity for her to enter the company.
However, Emily felt that the monkey virus looked familiar. She remembered that Chris had drawn little monkeys like that. She frowned and took a closer look. This little monkey was exactly the same as the one drawn by Chris. Did Chris hack the Hopkinson Group?
Emily knew that Chris was a computer expert, but Chris had not told her exactly how good he was at it. She decided to talk to Chris.
"Mommy?" Chris arrived at the door of Emily's bedroom. At this moment, Emily guessed that he had hacked the Hopkinson Group.
"Chris, come here. I have something to show you." Emily waved at Chris.
Chris walked over. He saw the little monkeys that were running all over the screen and fighting. His expression stiffened. Emily saw it and knew she was right about it.
"Chris, did you make this?" Emily asked softly.
"Yes, Mommy." Chris lowered his head. He didn't want his mother to be angry.
"Thank you, Chris. I don't know how you found out about my relationship with the Hopkinson Group, but I know you hacked them because of me." Emily didn't want this matter to affect Chris. Chris should be a proud and confident child.
"Mommy, what are you going to do next? Can I help?" Chris was happy when he heard Emily's approving words. He asked excitedly.
"Chris, tell me how to remove the virus. You helped me this time. I was thinking about how to get into the Hopkinson Group." Emily told Chris her thoughts.
Through this matter, she felt that there were some things that she should tell him. Chris was very smart, but he was also very sensitive.
"Okay, Mommy." Chris was very delighted because he could help his mommy.
With Chris' help, Emily accepted the mission. However, she was not the only one who took the mission. All of them would gather at the Hopkinson Group's building at ten o'clock tomorrow morning. The Hopkinson Group wanted to see who could resolve the problem.
However, the Hopkinson Group had prepared 10 thousand dollars for everyone who accepted the mission. Whether the problem was solved or not, they would get this money.
It was a smart move, which gave people a better impression of the Hopkinson Group.
The next day, Emily arrived at the Hopkinson Group early. They took her to the conference room.
Some people had waited there already. Like Emily, they had accepted this mission. Emily found a corner and sat down. She put on a disguise today. She wore a hat, sunglasses, a mask, and even a wig. Emily would not be able to achieve her goal if they found out who she was.
Chris wanted to follow Emily this morning. He didn't agree to stay at home until Emily gave him a new task.
Emily looked up at the surveillance camera on the ceiling of the conference room.
Meanwhile, Chris saw Emily looking up at him through the camera. He made the camera move up and down to greet Emily.
This was the task Emily had given to Chris. She must be well prepared. Laura and Rose had a deep hatred for her. If Emily revealed her identity, they would likely go back on their word and not pay the reward. They offered to pay any price within the company's capacity as long as the problem was solved. Therefore, Chris was her remote support. If Laura broke her promise, Chris would act on the plan they had discussed beforehand.
After waiting for a while, another three people came in. The six people who had accepted the mission all arrived.
At 10 o'clock, the door of the conference room was opened again. Laura and the others came in, followed by four bodyguards.
"Good morning, everyone," Laura said. "I am Laura. This is Rose, and this is Peter, the IT director. Everyone knows why we invited you here today. Our conditions have not changed, so you can start now."
Emily sat in the corner. She was not the first to step forward. Chris said there were no more than five people in the world who could fix the virus. Laura, on the other hand, would not have found the men so easily. So, Emily had to wait until the others had failed in their mission.
The first person turned on the laptop and began to fight the virus. As time passed, his typing speed slowed down. Finally, he stopped with a gloomy face. He picked up his laptop and went out without a word. He didn't even take the 10 thousand dollars.
Then, the second person started, and then he failed too. Until the fourth person, they didn't succeed. Even their laptops were infected by the virus.
When the fifth person began, he solved the initial problems and came to the last level. Emily clenched her fists nervously.
"Oh my, what is this?" Peter said in surprise.
Everyone gathered in front of the fifth person's laptop. A box appeared on the screen. It was divided into many grids. Some grids had numbers in them, and some were blank.
'This is a number puzzle?' Emily thought. She had a deep impression of number puzzles because of Aaron.
Chris was enjoying his orange juice in front of the screen. Thanks to Aaron, Chris got the inspiration to make the virus so perfect. The last level was not so simple. Chris got one of the world's most difficult number puzzles through Aaron. It would take at least 30 hours for a supercomputer to get the results.
However, would Chris leave such an obvious loophole? Of course not. When the number puzzle appeared, if it was not solved within an hour, all the data infected by the virus would be cleared. Moreover, there were only three chances. After the third failure, all the data would be deleted.
'I am a genius,' Chris thought proudly and laughed inwardly.
In the conference room of the Hopkinson Group.
Everyone stared at the bloody countdown and even with an explanation attached.
"This bastard! Even though we have an hour and three chances, it's impossible to solve the puzzle. He's just playing with us and enjoying the game!" Peter was very irritable now. He slapped the table angrily.
"This is impossible to accomplish!" The fifth person had an ugly expression on his face.
"No wonder Chris told me to remember so many numbers and refused to tell me the reason." Emily shook her head. Chris prepared a big surprise for her.
Emily walked forward and patted the fifth person on the shoulder, indicating for him to move aside. Emily didn't dare to speak, afraid of revealing her identity.
After she sat down, she pretended to think for a while. Then she inserted her flash drive into the laptop. Her fingers danced on the keyboard, and the crackling sound rang out. Everyone stared at the screen. They even held their breath, trying not to disturb Emily. This was their last chance.
They watched Emily fill in numbers in the grids one by one. When she entered the last number, Laura took Emily's hand.
"Wait a minute. We just wasted two chances. This is the last chance. Are you sure this is the answer?" Laura's hands were very cold, and she was very scared.
Emily broke free from Laura's hands. She still didn't speak, but she filled in the last number.
After that, all the little monkeys turned into data. They returned to their original positions as if the previous chaos had never happened.
Peter's eyes were red. He held Emily's hand tightly. "My goodness! Thank you very much! Are you interested in working in the IT Department? I can give up the position of supervisor."
Laura and Rose tried to remain calm, but their hands were red since they pinched them so hard. They were truly excited about it.
Laura stepped forward and clapped her hands, attracting everyone's attention.
"Thank you very much for your efforts. We will fulfill our promise," Laura said calmly, and her performance matched her status as a noble madam.
"Especially this lady. Her ability is unparalleled. The Hopkinson Group will give her..." Laura continued.
At this time, Emily began to take off her hat, sunglasses, and wig. Finally, she took off her mask. She showed her true self to everyone.
"Why is it you?" Rose's angry scream rang out in the conference room.
