Chapter 1356

"We tried to trace back, but the other side had designed a virus in the program. Once we

track it down, the virus will invade our system again, and it may cause secondary data loss

for the company. It could even lead to the collapse of the entire database," the manager

answered truthfully while carefully observing Harper's expression.

When he saw the anger on Harper's face intensify, he quickly explained, "Mr. Quinn, it's not

that we don't want to track it down; it's just that the person behind this attack is very

skilled. I suspect that they're a top-ranked hacker in the industry. They're at least in the top

fifty."

Hearing that, Harper was stunned. A top-ranked hacker who is ranked in the top fifty in the

industry? Why is this person suddenly attacking my company? The cost of employing such a

person is substantial. Who would spend that much money to target me?

Instantaneously, Timothy's face appeared in his mind. Could it be him?

He suspected it might be Timothy, but he couldn't be sure. After thinking momentarily, he

ordered, "You guys go ahead and fix the company's internal systems. I don't want to see

this happen again!"

The technical department head nodded and immediately left with his subordinates. After

they left, Harper turned to his assistant and instructed, "Have someone investigate how

much the company lost in this incident."

"Yes." The assistant nodded and left.

Later, he returned with someone from the finance department. "Mr. Quinn, the company's

loss is 20 million," the finance department's representative reported truthfully.

Suddenly, Harper had an immediate thought. He looked at the assistant and ordered,

"Investigate how much the Gulliver Group lost in their project in Hestonville."

Although the assistant felt it was strange, he agreed. Moments later, he returned with the

information. "Mr. Quinn, the Gulliver Group lost 20 million." As he finished speaking, he

realized that something was not right. The loss was exactly the same as what they had

experienced today.

On the other hand, Harper also realized that his earlier speculation was correct. The attack

on the company was indeed related to Timothy.

At that moment, he was seething with anger and felt challenged. The assistant glanced at

Harper's darkened face and nervously swallowed while standing silently beside him.

Nonetheless, the finance department representative didn't dare to breathe too loudly,

fearing he would become the target of Harper's fury. Ultimately, Harper ignored them both,

picked up his phone, and placed a call.

"Timothy, are you really going to go against Prospera Group?"

"Mr. Quinn, what are you talking about? I don't understand." Timothy's cold voice came from

the phone.

Harper gritted his teeth. "Do you dare to say that you did not carry out the attack on my

company today?"

"Mr. Quinn, you need evidence to accuse someone. Do you have any evidence that proves it

was me?" Timothy denied it lightly over the phone. He added, "If you have nothing else to

say, I'm hanging up now."

Without waiting for Harper's response, he abruptly ended the call.

Meanwhile, Harper gripped his phone tightly, feeling like he was on the brink of exploding.

"How dare he?"

Looking at the angry president, the assistant and the finance department representative

both shivered. Still, given the company's situation, the assistant had to speak up. "Mr.

Quinn, what should we do next?"

Nevertheless, despite his anger, Harper could still prioritize and differentiate between

important and trivial matters. Then, he made a mental note of the account and took a deep

breath before giving directives to his assistant. "I'll cover the company's losses from my

personal account, and all bonuses from the technical department will be deducted."

For the time being, Harper chose to keep the incident under wraps, but as the saying goes,

there are no secrets in this world. A handful of people knew that his company had been

targeted by an unknown hacker, and Nicholas was among them. When he heard the news,

he harbored a vague suspicion. Later, he called Edward over and ordered him, "Go

investigate who's responsible for the attack on Prospera Group."
