Chapter 331: Get Ready to Take Action!
Chairman Zhao, having secured a critical position within Baisheng Group, naturally possessed formidable abilities and a rich network of contacts.
Just half a day had passed, and numerous hackers formerly from AW had already proactively reached out.
Two more days went by.
Chairman Zhao spent a fortune to successfully assemble a new team of hackers.
This group was vetted by Baisheng Group's professionals, who confirmed there were no issues before putting them under Squirrel's command; Squirrel still led them.
Squirrel looked at the new hackers who had joined and felt a sense of unease.
In reality, he didn't know which individuals were Falcon's plants.
He only knew that some among them would be in contact with Falcon but they likely weren't his own people.
How could former AW hackers be his own?
If they were, wouldn't Falcon's methods be too powerful?
There was no time to think it through.
Chairman Zhao had already assigned a task—
First, to have a go at Lin Chuan's 720 Company!
At this moment, Chairman Zhao, with his high spirits, watched the top-tier hackers from AW join his ranks, led by an even more exceptional talent like Squirrel. Not to go after Lin Chuan would be a waste.
Hence, everyone was on high alert that evening, ready to launch a night raid on 720.
This new hacker team was indeed strong.
As expected, it didn't take long for them to breach 720 Company's firewall and they were just moments away from breaking into 720's core servers to obtain critical data from the company and its clients.
"Ha ha ha! You've done too well!"
Chairman Zhao looked at his hacker team with a satisfied gaze, his spirits uplifted even more.
With this team, not only could they defeat Lin Chuan, but they could also dominate the Underworld of Southeast Asia in the future, possibly even surveilling police actions.
With that, Chairman Zhao felt a sense of absolute security.
If he could obtain Lin Chuan's weapon invention data, the prospects were unimaginable!
No time to delay.
That very night, Chairman Zhao immediately issued the order to attack the network of Anling Police!
He knew that Anling Police were Lin Chuan's backup, and by taking out their network, their combat strength would surely weaken significantly.
Then, by commanding Big Tiger to make a move on Lin Chuan, it would be a fatal strike!
Lin Chuan would have no chance of turning the tables!
That night, including Squirrel, all the hackers in the office fixed their intense gazes on their computer screens, their expressions solemn.
This battle was of particular interest to Chairman Zhao.
And Squirrel was exceptionally attentive.
With nearly flawless commands, he efficiently directed the hackers present, orchestrating the entire operation to infiltrate the Anling Police Station's network.
Chairman Zhao grew more and more pleased with what he saw.
This 'battle' lasted almost three hours, persisting until eleven at night amidst the dimming lights and deep silence, and only then did the fight conclude.
The outcome was clear.
They had won!
The victory was comprehensive; they had 'penetrated' the police station's network defenses, causing the Anling Police Station's servers to collapse, the only regret being that they didn't get hold of the core police data.
"Their core data, being classified, must be specially protected, alas," Squirrel said with a hint of regret.

"No matter! You have already performed admirably!"
Chairman Zhao was in high spirits, patting Squirrel on the shoulder with approval, "Bringing you into my fold was the right choice!"
"Chairman Zhao, you flatter me! Serving you is my honor as well!" Squirrel immediately seized the opportunity to return the compliment.
"You're quite different from the hackers I've been in contact with," Chairman Zhao said with a smile.
Squirrel looked up at Chairman Zhao, a puzzled expression on his face.
Chairman Zhao laughed as he explained, "Ha ha, not only are your skills top-notch, but you also understand how to conduct yourself well. The hackers I've dealt with before are usually very arrogant."
Squirrel grinned, "In front of Chairman Zhao, I don't have the capital to be arrogant."
This flattery sat well with Chairman Zhao, very much to his liking.
Squirrel's words implied that while he might be arrogant in front of others, he knew his place before Chairman Zhao.
"You've won two 'battles' in a row," Chairman Zhao said with a satisfied laugh, "Speak freely about your desires! Do you want money, or women?"
Squirrel's face lit up at the words.
Logically, for such a significant accomplishment, he deserved a reward.
However, Squirrel's eyes were full of ambition, and he said, "Money and women can only please me for a moment. What I'm thinking about is creating an even larger Hacker Kingdom!"
Chairman Zhao was taken aback, sizing up Squirrel thoroughly.
Being the Old Fox that he was, his gaze was sharp.
But as an agent professionally trained and further coached by Lin Chuan, Squirrel wasn't to be underestimated, especially in such moments, he could stand his ground!
"Very well! I grant you this opportunity! I'll nominate you to the Baisheng Group board of directors to take charge of the two sectors: cybersecurity and network construction."
Chairman Zhao saw the ambition in Squirrel's eyes!
He was more than happy to see such ambition.
It was good for Squirrel to be ambitious!
Chairman Zhao was confident he could keep Squirrel in check, and once nominated to take charge of cybersecurity and network construction, it would also reinforce his own factions within Baisheng Group, strengthening his influence.
Particularly, the network construction sector covered an extensive array of services, including core businesses like fraud and gambling.
Squirrel would become his proxy in the network sector!
And with Squirrel's skills and accomplishments, he was more than up to the task!
After hearing this, a smile first appeared on Squirrel's face, then his expression gradually firmed, his gaze meeting Chairman Zhao's, "Chairman Zhao, I definitely won't disappoint your expectations!"
