Gu Mang walked out of the Lu Residence. A strong vibration could be heard from inside her bag.
She took out a thick and heavy flip phone.
It was a video call.
She switched to audio call and replied, “It’s me.”
Her voice was very deep which made it difficult to tell what gender she was.
“You always decline every video call. Is your appearance beyond the human imagination?” The tone from the other side of the line sounded like a grumbling lady’s.
The man calling was actually Yun Ling, a capable member and socialite of Shadow League.
He was usually the one who personally delivered mission information to her.
He was especially interested in catching sight of the mysterious head boss of their organization.
Every single time, however, his video calls were rejected.
The saying goes that God would open a window for you every time He closed a door.
Could it be that this boss looked like he had been through a car crash?
“Hey, hey, hey, don’t hang up, boss,” the man said in a panic. He exhaled a sigh of regret and returned to the subject matter. “I have transferred the money to your account. Remember to check it.”
“Mm.”
“We received a mission to find someone. The initial offer is 100 million and I heard you happen to need money these days. Will you take it?”
“Who are we looking for?”
“I heard it’s a rather incredible Miracle Doctor—a Chinese medicine practitioner who has perfected the art of acupuncture and moxibustion. The person showed up in the Middle East two years ago. We have a super grainy picture of the person’s back. They looked like a man.”
Gu Mang squinted. “Who requested this job?”
Yun Ling said, “Lu Chengzhou, the Young Master Lu from the capital city.”
The iciness flashed in her eyes and her voice grew cold and low. “How many websites has this job been posted to?”
The International Hackers’ Society, or IHS, was originally composed of three organizations. Each organization had their own respective job website.
Eight years ago, another organization called Shadow League suddenly appeared.
Initially, they undertook the IHS’s number one unsolvable mission. They completed it successfully and Shadow League became a household name overnight.
Within half a year, theorganization rose to the top rank among the four hacker organizations.
Arctic Fox was their core member and all the international hackers who tried to hack into their personal information did so in vain.
The only information known about Arctic Fox was their code name.
From then on, Arctic Fox became publicly known as the king of the hacker world.
This title went uncontested for many years.
However, this person was extremely low-key and rarely ever appeared in public.
Only Lin Shuang had ever seen Arctic Fox.
As for the rest of the members, they did not even know whether Arctic Fox was a man or woman and Lin Shuang would never, even in her death, disclose any bit of information about the big boss.
Yun Ling was quite puzzled by Gu Mang asking which website this job was posted to, but he did not mull over it any further. “There were two other organizations apart from our own. However, I feel Lu Chengzhou has a lot of money to burn. If even we can’t find this person, how will the other two organizations ever find them?”
He had spoken for so long, yet Gu Mang had not uttered a single word.
He was so shocked that he moved his phone down to take a look. The moment he saw that the boss had yet to hang up, he breathed a sigh of relief.
“So, will you take this job?”
“No.”
With that swift reply, Gu Mang immediately hung up the phone and threw it back into her bag.
When she reached in to search for her cigarettes, she thought about the person she was going to meet soon and decided to restrain herself.
