NOVEL WEB Chapter 308: Begin Settlement!
"Wouldn't this be too aggressive?"
At Riverside Cottage, in a private room, Xia Qingqing frowned as she looked at Lin Chuan.
As a member of the Anling Network Supervision Team, she was used to dealing with hackers and always vigilant against hacker intrusions, especially after the last incursion by AW, the Cyber Security Detachment had always been on alert.
Therefore, their understanding of AW had deepened.
AW, being a large hacker organization in North America, was involved in a wide range of activities, and some government agencies of various countries were also entangled with them.
Qingqing had heard a bit about this.
Would Lin Chuan's elimination of AW trigger a series of reactions?
It was unknown.
Shen Qianqian also nodded and said, "Taking down this appetizer might be just as difficult as wiping out the Morgan Group, right?"
Lin Chuan took a sip of Buckwheat Water, his face revealing a hint of confidence as he said with a light smile, "I thought I was being conservative, you know. AW has always been very hostile toward us, you must have felt it these days, the 720 firewall is constantly under their attack."
Qingqing nodded in agreement, "Yes, I can see the data from the backend of the Anling Network Supervision Team."
Lin Chuan continued, "Besides, I've received inside information that AW is fully studying the 720 firewall and a series of our company's products, with an obvious intention."
Qingqing was startled and swallowed lightly, "They want to crack the 720 firewall and then attack us again?"
"Apart from that purpose, I find it hard to come up with any other explanation," Lin Chuan nodded.

If it wasn't for attacking again, Lin Chuan couldn't think of any other purpose for AW. Surely it wasn't for technological advancement?
Clearly, it was far more than that.
They were hackers driven by profits; cracking the 720 was simply to circumvent Lin Chuan's defenses.
Their specific plan was to strike again at AW, the third campaign against Lin Chuan.
In the event of Lin Chuan's defeat, the cyber defenses of Anling would nearly be shattered.
Then, like the first onslaught of AW, they would be unstoppable, invincible, with no adversary able to hold them back for a moment.
At this point,
Xia Qingqing and Shen Qianqian fell silent.
In their eyes, Lin Chuan's idea was a bit too daring.
After a while, Qingqing asked, "Lin Chuan, how confident are you?"
Lin Chuan smiled and held up a finger.
"One out of ten?"
Qianqian furrowed her brows.
Lin Chuan's index finger swung lightly, "No, one hundred percent!"
Qingqing pursed her lips and said, "You already have a plan?"
"The plan is there, just short of manpower. Once the manpower is in place, I'll start recruiting immediately," Lin Chuan replied with a laid-back, leisurely laugh.
"So you really want to drag me into doing the hard work, huh?" Qingqing's mouth pouted slightly as she huffed.
"It also counts as your achievement!"
Lin Chuan said with utter seriousness, "I estimate you could rise to the rank of detachment chief by this year."
Qingqing, still a junior police officer with a lower rank, was far from the detachment chief position.
Therefore, she laughed, "I haven't had a drink tonight. What kind of pipe dreams am I having?"
"Defeating AW, your dreams will soon come true!" Lin Chuan said with a smile, his white teeth showing, particularly fair under the warm yellowish light.
"I have no problem helping you if you need me, but what about the people you mentioned just now?" Qingqing asked curiously.
"Talk to the one in charge at Han River," Lin Chuan said matter-of-factly.
Elder Zhong, Qingqing immediately guessed the person Lin Chuan was referring to.
"What about me?"
Qianqian looked up at Lin Chuan.
Qingqing had no reason to refuse to help, and neither did Qianqian, but she still didn't know what Lin Chuan would assign her to do.
"Your task is simple," said Lin Chuan, looking at Qianqian, "You'll be responsible for coordinating the information with the police station."
"Isn't there any fight on the frontline?" Qianqian clenched her fist, lifting it slightly.
"AW is just a hacker organization, there's no need for bloodshed," Lin Chuan said with a casual smile, not strategically considering AW a threat.
"So, have we reached an agreement now?"
The Little Landlady asked timidly from the side.
The other three burst into laughter.
Lin Chuan raised his Buckwheat Water, using it as a substitute for wine.
Four cups of Buckwheat Water held together, as if to herald the downfall of AW.
...
The next day.
Zhong Chengming received a call from Lin Chuan.
On the call, Lin Chuan laid out his thoughts and detailed plans, including the personnel involved: mainly Shen Qianqian, Xia Qingqing, Zhang Xinxin and himself, as well as the support from the 720 company and the Anling Network Supervision Team.
"Lin, your idea is very challenging."
Elder Zhong's voice, marked by the weathering of time, rang out.
"AW has long been hostile toward us in Han River, and there seems to be a trend of striking again recently. If we react passively and defensively like before, we may suffer unnecessary losses," Lin Chuan explained logically.
Elder Zhong, experienced and wise, would surely grasp such a principle.
He replied, "I understand, but is this few people enough?"
As far as he knew, AW had a massive number of personnel, running into the thousands, all with top-notch skills. The few people Lin Chuan had named seemed hardly enough to fill the gaps.
"Xia Qingqing from the Anling Network Supervision Team is not less skilled than me; she can take on a thousand, enough to annihilate AW."
Lin Chuan straightforwardly spoke highly of Qingqing.
Although Qingqing's rank was much lower than Elder Zhong's, once he made his way to Anling, Lin Chuan's offhand comment could have a transformative effect.
It was even more likely that following Lin Chuan's recommendation, Elder Zhong had begun to take notice of Qingqing.
"She's a promising talent, we should consider focusing on her."
