It took several minutes for the call to connect. A groggy and irritated voice came through on the other end, grumbling through a yawn, "What is it? Don't you know I pull all-nighters? I just fell asleep not long ago."
"I'm sorry," Zoe said with a nervous chuckle. "I wouldn't be calling if it wasn't an emergency."
"What kind of emergency could a rich young woman like you possibly have?" The voice on the other end sounded surprised.
"My computer got hit with a virus last night. It just crashed all of a sudden, and I spent the entire night trying to fix it, but nothing worked. I had no choice but to call you for help," Zoe said, her voice a mix of distress and embarrassment.
"You spent the whole night on it and couldn't even get it to boot?" The voice on the line now sounded incredulous. "Are you really my apprentice if you can't handle something so basic?"
Zoe quickly explained, "Please hear me out. This virus... is really strange." She went on to describe the virus's characteristics and its destructive power in great detail.
Her mentor seemed to be intrigued, and the drowsiness in his voice was gone. "This virus does sound interesting. Bring your computer over. I'll take a look at it myself."
"Alright, I'll be there in half an hour."
Though Zoe hadn't slept all night, she was young enough to power through. She immediately got up, changed out of her pajamas, dabbed on some concealer to cover her dark circles, and then grabbed her computer and called her chauffeur. On her way out, she picked up two pieces of bread and a bottle of milk before heading to her mentor's place.
He was none other than the famous hacker, Chaos. To become his apprentice, Zoe bought an apartment in the city center for him, spending all her bonuses, allowances, and savings. She also sold several handbags and some inexpensive jewelry.
Over the past two years, she had learned a great deal from Chaos, establishing a name for herself in the hacking community. Not even her family knew about this secret.
As Zoe grappled with the virus's effects, others were also feeling its impact.
In a presidential suite, Matthew walked out of his room and immediately spotted Louis sitting on the sofa, pounding away at his keyboard with his face twisted in frustration. Matthew asked casually, "Do you have a grudge against your computer? Didn't sleep all night?"
Louis looked up; his eyes gleaming with fury behind his glasses. "My laptop got hit by a virus last night and crashed. I've been working on it for hours but couldn't get it to boot. I'm panicking here."
Despite his anxiety, Louis had still managed to brew coffee first thing in the morning, setting it on the bar counter.
Matthew sat down at the counter, pouring himself some coffee as he spoke, "Let me take a look."
Louis knew Matthew wasn't just a computer expert but also an elite hacker. He immediately placed his laptop on the bar and made a dramatic gesture with both hands. "I'll leave it in your capable hands."
Matthew placed his fingers on the keyboard and hammered away. The laptop rebooted several times, each attempt ending in failure. After trying multiple methods to boot the computer without success, Matthew's eyes grew serious. "This virus is worth the challenge."
Louis asked delicately, "You can crack this virus, right?"
Matthew didn't respond. He stood up, walked into his room, and returned with a USB drive, which he plugged into the laptop before continuing to type.
Lines of code flashed across the screen, dense and rapid.
Louis, who knew a thing or two about hacking, watched in silent astonishment. He adjusted his glasses, wondering, 'Is Mr. Graham countering the virus with a virus of his own? That's amazing...'
The screen flickered as Matthew's code glitched several times, but he kept modifying it until it ran smoothly again. After about fifteen minutes, the laptop finally booted up successfully and reached the desktop.
"We're back in." Louis let out a sigh of relief, gripping the counter with one hand and adjusting his glasses with the other. "Let's hope none of the confidential files were leaked."
"I'm sorry," Zoe said with a nervous chuckle. "I wouldn't be calling if it wasn't an emergency."
