A Valiant Life Chapter 520 - Something huge just happened

The bank staff rushed to the scene and the middle-aged lady pulled the staff over, her face full of panic. “Your machine just called me mentally handicapped. The screen showed it just now, really! You have to believe me!”

The bank worker heaved a huge sigh. “Madam, can you not kid with us? We are very busy right now.”

“What I’m saying is the truth! If you don’t believe me, just take a look.” The middle-aged lady tried to send the money over to the same bank account again, pointing at the screen.

“Just you wait, it’ll appear in a while.”

The bank worker shook his head, ready to call the mental inst.i.tution to get the lady checked up. It was maybe also possible that this lady had escaped from the mental asylum.

The machine was processing.

“Lady, if you keep on…”

“F*ck!”

At that moment, the bank worker looked at the words on the ATM screen, stunned and speechless.

“This bank account belongs to scammers, please don’t make the mentally handicapped look like geniuses.”

“Look, look, I didn’t lie at all. The machine is calling me mentally handicapped!” the middle-aged lady exclaimed, pointing excitedly at the screen.

The bank worker’s face was in a daze, not knowing what was going on. He immediately contacted his superior.

“Director, it’s not good. The ATM machine is not working properly. It’s calling us mentally handicapped.”

The Director was speechless.

…

Cloud Street.

Lin Fan was cursing under his breath. How stupid could this person be? He had reminded her three times and she still continued to send money. Maybe it wasn’t because the scammers used such devious tactics, but because the people they scammed were just plain stupid.

He had covered every angle, and the main entry point was the bank system. At the same time, he blocked every single bank account which belonged to any scammer and froze their accounts. If anyone wired money to them, the transaction would be rejected.

Of course, that wasn’t the main goal. Lin Fan was out to look for the scammer who had scammed the seventy-year-old lady.

“62170013…4584.”

That was the bank account of the scammers, and Lin Fan had retrieved it from the bank system. Although the bank system had sophisticated defenses against hackers, it was as good as a paper tiger. It couldn’t resist him at all.

It was troublesome looking for a single person amongst so many numbers, but for Lin Fan, was it really a problem?

Manically searching.

“Ah!”

“Found it.” Lin Fan rejoiced as he remotely accessed a recording which showed a man who was standing in front of an ATM suspiciously.

“s.h.i.+t, he’s wearing a face mask. But do you think that’s the end?” Lin Fan talked to himself. Normal people would only reach the competency of using the computer for daily use, but for Lin Fan, his level was that of a G.o.d.

A certain bank in Shanyuan.

The bank alarm rang.

“Not good, there’s a hacker who has accessed our system and is currently looking at our internal data.”

“What? Quickly make a report to the Director! Where is the specialist? Quickly, get him to secure our system.”

“What specialist? Don’t you know that all our specialists are just rookies?”

“Huh?”

“Have you ever seen anyone hack our system before? We don’t need hacking specialists around.”

The director of the bank rushed over hurriedly, his face full of shock. How did anyone manage to hack into their system?

“How is that possible? Where are the guys who are supposed to intercept him?” the Director asked.

The worker looked like he was about to cry. “Director, there is no use trying to intercept him. All the defense mechanisms didn’t trigger when the hacker accessed our system. We only knew about it when our guys accessed the system and found out that everything in the system had been decrypted.

“Well, why are you still standing here? Quick, make a police report and get the Internet specialists to come. If anything happens, we are all screwed.”

“Yes, sir!”

…

Zhao Zhong Yang looked at the screen in awe. “Brother Lin, what are you doing?”

Lin Fan continued typing on the keyboard rapidly, “Nothing much, just hacking into the bank system looking for something.”

Zhao Zhong Yang stood there, stunned. “Brother Lin! Are you trying to defy the natural order? You’ll be screw hard if you get caught. Please tell me you covered your tracks. If you hack into the bank system, you must make sure you clean up your tracks to prevent people from discovering who you are. Anyway, you better finish this fast. If you get found out, it’ll be the end of you.”

“Why should I finish this soon? And why would I need to cover my tracks? I’m just going straight at them. By the time they respond, I’ll be done.”

“This is really bad, you could go to jail for this,” Zhao Zhong Yang said, concerned.

Fraud Tian immediately sprang up from his couch after hearing the word ‘jail’.

“Kid, you better not play around,” Fraud Tian said, his face full of worry.

Wu You Lan also chimed in, “Brother Lin, why are you doing this?”

“If I won’t descend to h.e.l.l to do it, who else will? Although that seventy-year-old lady has no relation to me whatsoever, as the righteous Master, I cannot back down in the face of evil. I must bravely go forward. Anyway, I won’t say anymore. I’m going to hack into the police department system. You guys just do your own things.”

“What?”

Everyone around was shocked. As if hacking into the bank system wasn’t enough, he was now going to mess with the police. Did he have a death wish?

Everyone looked at Lin Fan, their faces full of worry. They couldn’t believe it. They had known Lin Fan for so long. Since when did he become a genius at computers?

The Shanyuan Police Station received a police report.

“Not good. One of the banks in Shanyuan had their system hacked. We have to send a professional over to deal with their situation.”

“This is huge.”

“Have you contacted the Internet specialist?”

“Yes. He’s on his way.”

Suddenly.

“Not good, something just happened. All the banks in the country had their systems hacked.”

“What?!”

“Where is our Internet specialist group?”

“They are all on their way to the banks.”

“Get them to come back here to make sure everything here is good.”

“Yes.”

At this moment, the Shanyuan Police Station was in chaos.

…

“I’ve finally found you,” Lin Fan laughed to himself. After much effort, he had managed to find the scammer he had been looking for.

He retrieved the person’s data from the police system and noted it down.

“Let’s see if you have anywhere else to run.” Lin Fans mood was rather good. At this moment, the people in Shanyuan still hadn’t realized that they had been hacked. Their reaction time was just too slow!

After looking at the scammer’s profile, Lin Fan was stunned. The scammer was from Shanghai.

He opened his Weibo and posted a picture.

“I have found the person responsible for cheating the old lady. If you, the scammer, see this post, please surrender yourself to the authorities immediately.”

Lin Fan picked up his phone and called Liu Xiao Tian.

“Chief Liu, I’ve found the scammer. It’s also a coincidence that he’s from Shanghai. Why don’t you bring some men over to take a look?”

Liu Xiao Tian couldn’t believe what he was hearing. He had found the person that fast?

“Master Lin, how did you find him?” Liu Xiao Tian asked hastily.

Lin Fan chuckled. “This wasn’t easy. I hacked into the bank system and looked for the latest bank transfer to that account. After that, I hacked the traffic police database to find him. That brat was really sneaky, going to a different location to collect his money, even wearing a mask. After that, I entered the police database and did a facial recognition until I got a match. After that, I did a search over the national bank database and found all the transactions to his account. Anyway, I still have a few more things to do and few more systems to hack into, so I’m going to hang up first…”

Liu Xiao Tian was speechless. He wasn’t exceptionally happy, instead, he was filled with terror.

What did Master Lin just say?

He had hacked into the bank system!

He had hacked into the police database!

He had hacked into the traffic police database!

He had just turned the whole world upside down.

He was the Inspector, but at this moment, his heart was pounding rapidly. He had been frightened by Master Lin.

“h.e.l.lo…” Liu Xiao Tian spoke into the phone. However, Master Lin had already hung up.

This was big trouble.

Liu Xiao Tian felt like crying. Master Lin! Even the Bureau Chief won’t be able to get you out of this!
