“Look, it’s this person<b>.</b><b>”</b>
Mr. Burton held <i>up </i>his phone in front of George, showing Ethan’s post on the forum.
George first nced at the ID, then was attracted by the six pictures
on the post,
He took the phone, and his initial thought upon opening the pictures was the handwriting was impressive. Then, he began to examine the problem–solving process,
George was born in Edenvale and raised in Ivy Hollow. He helped manage his family’s business in Melfrey while studying there. He also founded his <b>own </bpany and sessfully listed it within a year. After studying abroad, he decided to return and study at Taragon University. He officially took over the family business at the age of twenty. He has always had a mentor–student rtionship with Magnus Burton, the principal of Taragon University.
Seeing George looking at the question. Mr. Burton said, “I wanted to ask you the problem, but you’re so busy. I didn’t dare to waste your time. It’s really difficult to meet you.”
George wasn’t very interested in the problem. After a nce, he asked, “Doesn’t the forum require real- name registration?”
“No, if it did. I would have asked the administrator to check it directly and wouldn’t havee to you. Our Taragon University forum only requires real–name registration for the teachers and students. These guests don’t need it, but the administrators must review their posts andments before they are released.”
George asked, “Have you contacted him?”
“Your junior, James, and I have contacted him. I offered generous conditions, but he replied that it was inconvenient and ignored me. James was even prepared to hire a hacker to track his IP address. I thought it wasn’t appropriate, so I asked you for help.”
“How do you want me to find him?” George put down his phone.
“Is there anything you can do with your wide connections? <b>Just </b>find a technical person from your team to help me check.”
“What’s the difference between this <b>and </b>James hiring a hacker?”
“Uhm… Mr. Burton adjusted his sses <b>and </b>realised no difference. He looked at George’s slightly smiling eyes and stubbornly said, “The nature is still different.”
George didn’t say anything and called his assistant, Dn.
Dn was not only George’s assistant but also ranked tenth among the world’s hackers, a fact known to only a few people.
He developed many of the security systems of the Harris Group.
Having such a top–notch hacker to track <b>a </b>simple IP address was indeed excessive.

and took a day off at home. Lcouldn’t contact him immediately. He might think I’m not sincere enough, so he refused to meet me
Most geniuses <b>are </b>unique.
James is one of them.
“It won’t take long. It’ll be done within three minutes Dn opened hisptop and started working.
Mr. Burton watched from the side. He looked at the densely jumping <b>data</b>, none of which he recognised. He couldn’t help but sigh <b>at </b>the social and technological developments.
Just <b>as </b>Dn was about to lock onto the other party’s IP address<b>, </b>a significant red exmation mark suddenly appeared on the screen, shing a warning of danger.
“What’s this?” Even Mr. Burton, who didn’t understand these things, could tell something was wrong.
George, sitting on the side looking at his phone, heard the movement and asked, “What’s wrong?”
The other party’s device has a firewall,” Dn replied. After some effort, he sessfully bypassed it and determined the location of the other party’s device.
“In Norward City.”
George slightly raised his eyes. Norward City again.
This small Norward City was a bit restless recently.
George said, “Continue to narrow the area.”
“Okay.” Dn confidently responded.
However, a few minutester, he frowned and became excited. He said, “This is interesting.”
Mr. Burton looked at the suddenly enthusiastic Dn. Then, he looked at George, <b>wanting </b>to say something, but didn’t
Ethan was looking up information on his phone.
Suddenly, an exmation mark and a line of text appeared on the <b>screen</b>.
“Device is under unknownwork attack. System protection is in progress. Please repair it as soon as possible.
Then the screen turned red, followed by a <b>ck </b>skull, which startled him.
Ethan thought he had identally clicked somewhere. He tried to close the background and return to the <b>home </b>screen, but the <b>phone </b>wouldn’t respond.
He even tried to turn off the phone, but it didn’t work.
Ethan wouldn’t care <b>too </b>much if it was <b>his </b>old phone <b>and </b>would wait until the next day to show it to
Isabelle.
But he had just <b>bought </b>this sharkinely expensive m bile phone not long <b>av </b>He was always cautious

when handling it, afraid of bumps or scratches.
So, without caring whether Isabelle was asleep, Ethan hurriedly went to find her with his phone.
Isabelle had just finished showering and was bored when Ethan came to her with his phone.
“Isabelle, do you think my phone has been infected with a virus?” Ethan, who had been learningputer technology from Isabelle for a few days, had picked up quite a few technical terms.
“Did you click on some inappropriate websites?” Isabelle nced at him and raised her eyebrow.
Ethan’s cars turned red, and he said, “I didn’t! I <b>was </b>looking up some study materials, and then my phone suddenly became like this.”
As the world’s top hacker, Isabelle could easily tell the difference, whether it was a virus or a cyber attack. She was just teasing him.
Seeing Isabelle’s calm and slightly amused expression, Ethan muttered awkwardly, “You have a way with words for a girl…”
“What is it?” Isabelle didn’t care. She took Ethan’s phone and turned on herputer.
Ethan didn’t want to continue <b>this </b>conversation, so he quickly changed the subject, “Isabelle, what’s wrong with my phone?”
“It’s been hacked.”
“Who did <b>that</b>?” Ethan <b>looked </b>at his strange phone screen and Isabelle’s dizzyingly <b>fast </b>operations. His expression became tense.
This <b>was </b>the first <b>time </b>he <b>had </b>encountered something like this.
“We’ll know soon.” Isabelle continued her work without stopping.
When Ethan bought his phone <b>and </bputer, Isabelle had habitually set up firewalls and anti–<b>tracking </b>devices on both devices out of boredom and upational habit, not expecting them toe in handy one day.
But she didn’t expect them to be useful and happen so quickly.
“Is this a random attack?” Ethan didn’t have any friends, let alone enemies. He had never even met ant ordinary <b>technician </b>in real life, let alone a <b>hacker</b>, except for his sister.
Why would anyone target him?
So, the most probable scenario was a random attack.
“No, Isabelle said.
Meanwhile<b>, </b>at the Harris Residence.
“Still not finished?” George put down his phone. It had been more than ten minutes.
He looked up to see Dn furrowed. His expression was extremely serious. Sweat had already soaked his forehead and remoles, creating <b>a </b>tense atmosphere und him.

Mr. Burton, standing nearby, didn’t dare to ask a question. He was afraid of disturbing Dn.
Dn’s typing speed increased, and the sound of the keyboard echoed in the room. He felt his mouth bing dry.
“The other party has discovered me. Not only did they strengthen their firewall, but they also broke my firewall. and… He said as he continued to work.
“Furthermore my device has been traced back.” Dn’s hands suddenly stopped, and he looked at George.
