In the Larson Group's headquarters, Brandon went straight to the IT department.
He needed them to repair Janet's computer.
Since it had been hacked for several days now, it was trickier to repair it.
Brandon left the matter to his assistant, Sean, and proceeded to go about his work day.
After a lunch meeting, Brandon asked Sean for updates.
Sean repeated everything the technical staff had said. "Mrs. Larson's computer has indeed been hacked through the virus they planted. The technical staff said that the hacker was trying to steal all the information in her computer."
Brandon pursed his lips unhappily. "Did they get their IP address?"
Everything would fall into place as long as they could track down the hacker.

The sun was setting in the horizon.
It was almost dinnertime, but there were not many customers in this French restaurant.
Sitting on the sofa and burning with anxiety, Vivian stared at the hacker, who was typing furiously on his computer.
"It's been several hours. Why aren't you done yet?" she asked impatiently. She couldn't wait any longer.
"I've met a strong opponent. Why didn't you warn me beforehand? I was caught off-guard!" The hacker wiped the sweat on his forehead and added dejectedly, "I was just one step away from getting all the information on her computer. Now I'm locked out!"
Vivian stood up in a hurry. "Figure it out quickly. If I knew how to solve it, why would I have hired you?" As she was complaining, the hacker suddenly slapped his laptop shut.
Vivian frowned in confusion. "I thought you weren't finished yet. Why'd you turn off the computer?"
"I've been found out. They have tracked our location!"
The hacker threw the computer on the ground, grabbed the chair beside him, and smashed the computer with it.
The hacker didn't stop until the computer was smashed to smithereens.
