?Chapter 111:

    Vincent’s expression was cold as he rapidly typed on his keyboard.

    But he was a moment toote; the hacker was too fast. In an instant, hisptop went ck. Even a forced restart only brought up a screen filled with snowke-like patterns.

    Katelyn raised an eyebrow, surprised by the audacity of someone daring to breach the Adams Group’s secure systems.

    Vincent frantically typed on the keyboard, but to no avail. The hacker was bypassing thepany’s firewall. A breach of their confidential documents could potentially result in a loss in the hundreds of billions.

    Suddenly, Samuel rushed back in, looking rmed. “Bad news, Mr. Adams! Ourwork’s beenpromised.”

    Vincent’s re was so chilling it seemed to drop the temperature in the room, making it feel like an ice cer. “Get the IT team to check this immediately and reinforce the firewall. Hurry!”

    “Yes, Mr. Adams.”

    After issuing the order, Vincent sank back into his chair, his gaze fixed on the malfunctioningptop.

    Over the years, numerous hackers had attempted to infiltrate thepany’s database, though none had been as audacious as this.

    This hacker’s methods were far more sophisticated than those of previous attackers.

    The Adams Group’s firewall was a high-cost system, specially designed and imported from overseas.

    However,

    Katelyn silently watched the drama unfold on Vincent’sputer.

    It was clear to her that the hacker’s skills ranked among the top 10 globally.

    The room grew tense and silent, with only faint noises from the office breaking the quiet.

    Suddenly, the pattern on the screen changed, forming the capital letters “T” and “S.”

    Katelyn’s eyes narrowed, her nails digging into her palms as her breathing quickened.

    This hacker, known as TS, had emerged mysteriously five years ago and had topped the global rankings ever since, unbeaten in all that time.

    Their hacking skills were fearsome; any secret was vulnerable if they decided to uncover it. Furthermore… Katelyn herself was TS.

    For a moment, her eyes filled with panic, confusion, and disbelief.

    She wondered if someone was imitating her to target the Adams Group.

    Who could it be?

    Vincent’s eyes narrowed, his look bing menacing. “So, that’s why. No wonder our firewall seemed so ineffective.”

    Suppressing her mixed feelings, Katelyn pretended to be confused. “Mr. Adams, are you familiar with the hacker who left that message?”

    Vincent fixed a cold stare at theputer screen as he responded, “Not personally. I only know their reputation. This one’s recognized as the number one hacker in the world.”

    Nobody knew TS’s real identity or even gender. All that was known was that TS was enigmatic and only took highly paid jobs.

    Vincent guessed that someone must have deliberately hired TS to target the Adams Group. Such audacity! With that thought, Vincent picked up his phone and made a call.

    His voice was cold as hemanded, “Find the hacker. TS at all costs.” His resolve was clear; he intended to make TS face the consequences.

    Katelyn watched the unfolding scene with conflicted emotions, mentally ruling out potential suspects. Despite her prominent position in the hacker rankings for years, her knowledge of other hackers was limited, so she decided to have her connection, Briar Astan, look into it.

    Lost in thought, she didn’t notice Vincent’s piercing gaze on her.

    “You seem quite stressed, Miss Bailey. Do you know this particr hacker?” he inquired.
