Chapter 315 She was heartbroken at missing out.
Ning Yao drove to Ning Chen's house, an apartment building in a bustling downtown area.
She even forgot to make a phone call; she arrived first.
When Ning Chen opened the door, he saw Ning Yao looking anxious, and he was quite frightened.
"Mom, what's wrong?" Ning Chen led Ning Yao into his room, and Guan Ying followed closely behind.
"Could you help me check these encrypted IP addresses and see where they are located?" Ning Yao recited the strings of numbers Xing Ershu had given her.
She could investigate herself, but the matter was of utmost importance, and she was afraid that a small mistake could lead to a huge error.
"Okay, don't worry, I'll check right now." Ning Chen brought out his computer from the inner room and his fingers flew across the keyboard.
Guan Ying saw that Ning Yao was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. Although she was not as good with computers as Ning Chen, a hacker, she could still recognize that the numbers Ning Yao gave were IP addresses.
Ning Yao was investigating someone, but Guan Ying didn't know who she was investigating.
Guan Ying glanced around Ning Chen's place. Compared to the teachers' apartments, this corner was more secluded, a true example of hidden beauty in the city.
The house is not big, with two floors. The first floor has a living room, kitchen, and bathroom, while the second floor has a bedroom, study, and storage room.
Seeing that Ning Yao was emotionally unstable, Guan Ying found the water dispenser next to her, took out a cup and poured her a glass of warm water.
Ning Yao said thank you, but had no desire to drink water. She stared intently at her son, hoping he could give her an answer as soon as possible.
Xing Ershu said that her biological father was likely still alive, and that he had last appeared in the imperial city where she was.
Why would he appear in the capital city, conceal his identity, and change locations every so often? Does he have something he can't tell us? Or is he being hunted down by some villain?
Everything was uncertain, and Ning Yao was so worried that she couldn't even drink water.
Helpless, Guan Ying could only stand aside, silently giving Ning Yao a sense of security through her presence.
Ning Chen spent half an hour trying to crack the encrypted IP address, but still couldn't. His face was tense, unwilling to disappoint his mother.
Unable to crack the final layer of encryption, Ning Chen had no choice but to find Huo Hua Liao Yuan, ranked number one on the hacker list, and send a request for help.
After receiving the message, the other party quickly responded: "We've always been competitors, why should I help you?"
Ning Chen: [This is something a very important relative of mine asked me to decipher. It's very important to her. Thank you.]
Ning Chen: [You can make any request, as long as I can fulfill it.]
Fearing the other party might be unwilling to help, Ning Chen added another sentence.
It wasn't that he couldn't crack the code, but rather that he couldn't crack it in a short time. Ning Yao outside was clearly very anxious; he needed to be quick.
If it weren't for the urgency, Ning Chen would never have taken the initiative to ask Huo Hua Liao Yuan for help; it would have been too embarrassing for their rival.
Fire Spreads Like Wildfire: [OK, give me five minutes. I'll send you the location of all the IP addresses in five minutes.]
After receiving a reply, Ning Chen breathed a sigh of relief, but was also filled with emotion.
In just five minutes, Huohua Liaoyuan was able to crack such a complex IP password lock.
Ning Chen thought he was not far behind the number one on the hacker list, but it seems the gap is not small.
Five minutes later, Huohua Liaoyuan indeed sent Ning Chen the IP address location in full, along with a question.
Fire Spreads Like Wildfire: [What does your very important family member need these encrypted addresses for?]
Ning Chen did not reply immediately, but first sent the address to Ning Yao before glancing down at the question about "Fire Spreads Across the Plains".
why?
He didn't know why, but he helped his mother with chores without needing to ask why; he just did it.
Ning Yao's eyes widened in surprise when she saw the address.
One of the addresses was located on the commercial street opposite her school, so close to her.
Something flashed through Ning Yao's mind so quickly that she couldn't grasp it before it vanished.
"My dear son, thank you for helping Mom crack the password. I have something to do, so I'll be going now."
Ning Yao came and went in a hurry, looking nervous. Ning Chen couldn't put his mind at ease. He didn't even bother to change his clothes and followed Ning Yao in a pair of slippers.
When getting into the car, Ning Chen opened the door without hesitation and sat down next to Ning Yao.
At this moment, another message came in, this time very simple, containing only a '?'.
Ning Chen thought for a moment and replied to a question on Huohua Liaoyuan's forum: 【Looking for someone.】
This is the CEO's office on the top floor of the Wens Group headquarters building.
Wen Tingye put down all his work; the computer screen in front of him was covered with dense code.
He looked at Ning Chen's reply and fell into deep thought.
Who would be so secretive and cautious when looking for someone?
The IP address is encrypted with multiple layers of locks, and the level of encryption is far beyond the scope of professional expertise. There are probably very few people in the world who can crack it.
Of course, Wen Tingye himself is an exception.
This kind of thing is commonplace for him; all his organizational information needs to be strictly encrypted and protected, so he is naturally very skilled at it.
He had already uncovered the true identity of the second-ranked hacker on the hacker list; this person was Ning Chen, the child he and Ning Yao had conceived.
Besides Ning Yao, who else is an important family member to Ning Chen?
Wen Tingye placed his fingers on the keyboard and continued typing. His fingertips moved rapidly, and gradually, the security LANs of police systems from various countries appeared on the computer screen...
Ning Yao had Guan Ying drive the car to the vicinity of the school. After getting out of the car, she took off running towards the commercial street. Even Guan Ying and Ning Chen had to struggle to keep up with Ning Yao's speed.
Ning Yao was panting heavily, staring intently at a handmade shirt tailor shop in front of her. The shop was already closed.
She had been to this store, bought a shirt from it, and met the owner.
The boss had a long, gruesome scar on his face; it was a terrifying wound, the cause of which was unknown.
Ning Yao never expected that her biological father was so close to her, and she was completely unaware of it.
Ning Chen looked at his mother with concern, then silently stepped forward and put his arm around her shoulder.
He could sense that his mother was emotionally agitated, as if something terrible had happened.
“Achen, your…your grandfather once appeared in this shop, but your mother didn’t recognize him.” Ning Yao’s voice was already choked with sobs.
Grandpa?
Ning Chen's eyes widened in shock for a moment, but he quickly recovered.
His maternal grandmother passed away very early. His mother had mentioned his grandmother when they were young. They knew that his grandmother was an extremely gentle, virtuous, and traditional woman with an exceptionally good temper. She was also beautiful and somewhat resembled his mother, but not exactly the same.
They had even seen photos of their grandmother...
But the term "maternal grandfather" was unfamiliar to them, because their mother had never met him and didn't know where to begin.
“I will continue to investigate Grandpa’s whereabouts. Don’t worry, we will find him soon,” Ning Chen reassured Ning Yao.
Ning Yao found some comfort in her son's tall stature; she was not a weak person.
Her initial emotional breakdown stemmed from the fact that she had been searching for so many years, and the hope that had been built up over those years was rekindled after a painful destruction, only to be shattered once again.
She longed to see her biological father and wanted to know what kind of man her mother had fallen so deeply in love with.
Why did he abandon his mother and her, leave alone, go to a distant place, and disappear without a trace?
Ning Chen was not good with words, so he sent messages to both Ning Moran and Ning Duoduo.
Ning Chen: [Are you free right now? Please come over as soon as possible. Mom is in a bad mood, she's in the commercial street opposite the Communication University.]
Ning Duoduo was shooting the cover of a luxury brand's next season's magazine when her assistant, Mu Jie, received the news.
Mu Jie had already been told by Ning Duoduo that she should inform her immediately if there was any news about Ning Yao.
Mu Jie glanced at the message, then helplessly waved to Ning Duoduo, who was halfway through filming. Ning Duoduo calmly told the brand she was leaving and rushed off to the Imperial City Media University.
Meanwhile, Ning Moran was on her way to a biological research center to attend an award ceremony. Upon receiving the news, she immediately instructed the driver to turn around.
