"Why don't you understand me? Luke, you're weird today." Claire tries not to look too embarrassed.
Luke doesn't talk but stares at Claire for a long time. After a while he shakes his head and seems to deny his idea.
"So, Luke, are you doubting me?" Claire is a little disappointed. She and Luke are friends and trust each other. Even Luke knows Claire better than Leo in some ways.
Luke sighs, "No. Forget it. I just think you're hiding something from me, right?"
That's true, but Claire can't say it. It's not too late to tell him when everything is settled. Anyway, Claire thinks she doesn't do anything sorry to others.
Claire says seriously, "I do hide something from you, but there is a reason. I hope you don't ask again."
Luke shrugs and spreads his hand and says, "I can't help it if you don't tell me. I have nothing to say. Go and have a rest. I've got someone looking for Tracy."
Although the bad guy and the hacker who helped Howard Group can't be found, it shouldn't be too hard for Luke to find Tracy.
...
At this time, in a room of Luke's house, a computer is flashing a blue-green light at a high frequency. Sitting in front of the computer is Conan, the little hacker.
His face is taut and solemn, and a thin layer of sweat is seeping from his forehead. His white fingers are beating fast on the keyboard. Although the sound is very light, it has a different rhythm.
At this time Conan is nervous but at the same time his heart is full of excitement and joy. It's different from hacking in the past. Now his goal is not to break through a certain system and invade a certain person's computer, but to play games with another person.
That person is, of course, Juan's hacker.
No one is more eager to find Leo than Conan, but Juan has a hacker so Conan can't easily connect to the network and invade Tracy's information. Because the man is waiting for him at the entrance. As soon as he moves, his position will be exposed.
What bothers Conan the most is that the hacker installs a layer of protection system for Tracy, which makes him invade for a longer time.
Conan has a strategy. He installs an IP shielding system on Luke's computer. In other words, if the other party wants to find out where he is, he also needs to break a system.
Now Conan is faced with the situation that both sides attack each other. Whoever breaks first will win.
Conan hardly dares breathe. His hands press a long string of characters quickly. The other side has now invaded 45%, and he is 45%. As long as he's a little bit slow, he's bound to lose.
Conan's potential is fully stimulated. At the last moment, Conan's face gradually shows a smile, and his mouth corner also raises an increasing arc.
The other side is 98%, and he is 99%.
...
It only takes a second.
"Conan, you're not sleeping!"
Suddenly the door is opened without warning, and Luke's voice comes.
Conan shuts down the computer almost instantaneously. The light on the screen and the keyboard goes out in turn and is silent.
The room is very dark. Conan is panting a little.
"Uncle Luke, you scare me to death. I'm watching horror movies..." Conan feels the sweat on his forehead. "And, uncle Luke, you didn't knock."
"Sorry, Conan. I am wrong. Rest early." Then he closes the door.
Conan's little body falls on the bed. He feels remorseful.
"I have succeeded. Why..." Conan is too depressed to be sleepy. At the same time, he is shocked. Fortunately, he reacts fast enough, or he will be seen again.
"I have to be careful later. But I can still win that guy next time." Conan smiles smugly.
It soon reaches Juan's ears. Although they are all puzzled why Conan stops the invasion at the last moment, Juan thinks it is necessary to arrange more hackers to deal with Conan.
So he waves and orders. Conan's opponents have changed from one to three and are likely to increase at any time.
More enemies!
It's ruthless!
It's unreasonable!
If Conan knows it, he might be angry and call Juan shameless.
...
The next day, as soon as Conan wakes up from his dream, he hears another woman's voice outside. He goes out in a daze and finds it is Kate.
Kate hears that Claire is staying at Luke's house, so she comes to talk to her. They haven't seen each other for a long time, so they keep talking.
Kate watches Conan weakly walk out of the room. She says in surprise, "Conan, did you have a nightmare? Your eyes are red. Are you a night owl, too?"
Conan looks up and yawns. "I had a nightmare. I dreamed of Aunt Kate."
Conan says casually. He is grabbed by Kate and spanked hard as soon as he finishes.
"I'm not as gentle as your mommy. Do you dare to tease me later?" Kate holds Conan and spanks him and pinches his face.
When Conan meets Kate, he has to give in.
"You'd better go back to sleep. I want to talk to your mommy." Kate says seriously.
"Women have nothing important to talk about. Leave me alone. I want to close my eyes and rest here. By the way, I'd like to hear the gossip." Conan jumps onto the sofa and dozes off.
Kate shakes her head helplessly and looks at Claire.
"Talk quickly. You can hypnotize me..."
Before Conan finishes speaking, he is hit by a pillow. He pillows and continues to sleep on the sofa.
Both women are amused by Conan. After a while, Kate suddenly grabs Claire's hand and whispers, "if only Leo can be half as good as Conan."
