Chapter 300: Chapter 300: Your Masterpiece?
Ian Keane had the impulse to send the video to Leon Keane right now. His fingers typed a familiar phone number, but just as he was about to send it, he hesitated.
No way.
If he sent this video to Dad, his hidden hacker identity would be discovered by him.
Dad was vehemently against him touching the hacker domain.
As for why Dad was against it?
Ian Keane knew not long after he secretly entered the field.
The phone in his pocket buzzed repeatedly. Ian Keane took it out and saw a text message from faraway Europe.
He tapped open the message.
"Little Ian, Mount Cygnus Hospital in Ravenswood was hit by a powerful hacker attack. Was it your dad’s masterpiece or yours?"
The person who sent the message was George, a schoolmate of Jack Quinn in Europe, and reputedly the world’s fifth-ranked hacker.
Jack Quinn would probably never dream that George knew the hacker attacking Mount Cygnus Hospital... Ian Keane.
And not just knew.
The relationship between George and Ian Keane was quite extraordinary.
Ian Keane frowned and quickly replied: "Did Jack Quinn find you?"
George, touching his chin with his hand, smiled and replied: "You guessed it right, Little Ian, well done. Quickly tell Uncle Joyce, is it the work of you two father and son?"
Ian Keane decisively admitted: "It’s my work; don’t tell Dad."
Aha!
He guessed right.
George: "Little Ian’s hacking skills are becoming more refined. I fear that in a few years, your dad’s hacker ranking will be at risk, and you’ll be the rising star."
"You have a saying in your country... how does it go? Aha... I remember now, the rear wave of the Yangtze River pushes the front wave, and the front wave dies on the beach. Your dad is about to be washed up."
Ian Keane rolled his eyes: "Before my dad ends up on the beach, Uncle Joyce, you’ll probably be long gone."
George’s expression stiffened, and he trembled slightly: "Little Ian, please don’t say such heart-piercing words to Uncle Joyce, okay? You push your dad aside, letting me advance a rank. Isn’t that good?"
Ian Keane snorted: "Uncle Joyce, fantasies will make you lose your drive. I must remind Uncle Joyce that if you continue to stand still, in a month, you’ll be ranked sixth."
George’s hand shook violently, almost dropping the phone.
This little boy, truly as cold as his father, not fun at all.
George sent a "striving" emoji to Ian Keane.
Ian Keane glanced at it, indifferent. From ranking in the top three, George had fallen to fifth place now. Ian Keane held no more hope for him.
Ian Keane sent another message: "No matter how much Jack Quinn offers you, don’t agree to help him deconstruct my virus within three days. After three days, you can do as you please."
George raised an eyebrow: "Your Uncle Joyce is on Crestfall Island playing with big wave girls! So I gave him a sky-high price. Jack Quinn isn’t a fool; he probably won’t look for me."
After George finished speaking, a bikini-clad blonde wiggled her shapely behind over.
"Honey, stop playing with the phone, let’s go swim together," the blonde said in English.
George playfully slapped the blonde’s smooth leg, eliciting a cheerful squeal.
George laughed and said in English: "Baby, you go first. My little nephew needs something; I’ll come soon."
George puckered his lips, mimicking a kiss towards the blonde.
The blonde blushed and blew a kiss back at George: "I’ll wait for you, darling."
George’s gaze returned to his phone, and Ian Keane hadn’t sent another message.
George’s eyes settled on the words "big wave girls" on his phone.
Aha!
He seemed to have sent it incorrectly. How could he use such words with little Ian? It wouldn’t be good to lead little Ian to have thoughts about women.
He should wait until little Ian was sixteen to "introduce" him to the wonders of women.
Ian Keane nonchalantly deleted all his messages with George.
As for what George said about "big wave girls," Ian Keane remained cold and unfazed, as if seeing a potato on the ground, so simple and natural.
Because, Ian Keane was already accustomed to it.
When Ian Keane was two or three years old, George secretly took him to the beach for surfing, and Ian Keane had "witnessed" George’s "big wave girls."
The key was that George, thinking him small and ignorant, would do shameless things with "big wave girls."
Ian Keane was indeed young. Confused after watching the two get close, he told George: "Uncle Joyce, if you don’t take me surfing right now, don’t think of tricking me to come again."
George was so immersed in kissing that he forgot the little Ian, but hearing Ian’s tender voice made his face flush hotly.
George pulled away from the "big wave girl."
The "big wave girl" saw Ian Keane’s delicate and handsome little face, and even though his features hadn’t fully developed, everyone was amazed... this little guy was excessively cute.
The "big wave girl" excitedly crouched down, attempting to lift Ian Keane for a cheek kiss, but Ian Keane disdainfully avoided her.
Since then, Ian Keane saw all "big wave girls" like potatoes on the ground.
This was also why Ian Keane always hated eating potatoes.
Back on topic.
After safely storing the "video," Ian Keane casually played a cartoon. Although his clear black eyes were watching the tablet, his mind wandered away, and his thin lips pressed into a cold arc.
In these three days, he wanted Jack Quinn and the entire Mount Cygnus Hospital to experience intense panic.
This was the price Jack Quinn would pay for framing his mom.
Susan Heston returned to the MV filming site... the school.
She brought along one person, Laura Thompson.
Laura Thompson appeared fierce, like a hen ready to battle.
Susan Heston didn’t enter the school, stopping outside: "Laura, you insisted on coming, so I took the risk of getting scolded by my cousin to bring you over. Ivana Monroe is filming inside; go find her yourself!"
Laura Thompson said confidently: "Okay, I’ll go find her myself. I owe you for helping me this time. Next time you need something, just tell me, and I’ll help you, no matter what."
Susan Heston sneered inwardly, thinking, "Idiot," but her eyes shone brightly, "Laura, you said it yourself, no backing out."
Laura Thompson laughed: "I won’t back out."
Why would she back out? She liked Isaac Heston; Isaac was Susan’s cousin. In the future, she and Susan would be relatives!
Susan Heston watched Laura Thompson walk into the school, her fiery silhouette. Her lips curled into a sinister smile, thinking how shortly Laura would handle Ivana Monroe. It brought her satisfaction.
Laura Thompson had brought a "special gift" for Ivana Monroe, ensuring that after today, Ivana’s looks would be ruined and she’d never film Sean Vaughn’s MV again.
Susan Heston couldn’t wait to see Ivana Monroe’s disfigured face.
She had had enough of Ivana Monroe.
After Uncle and Aunt returned, Isaac Heston would rather face punishment than concede, refusing to have anything to do with Ivana Monroe and insisting on replacing Ivana as Sean Vaughn’s leading lady, allowing her to continue acting.
