Lu Zi Zhen gazed at his mother before gazing at Lu Ting Cheng who was busy with his laptop hacking.
Lu Zi Zhen's jaw tightened as the lines of code reflected in Lu Ting Cheng's eyes.
The quiet tap of the keyboard was the only sound between them for a few moments, a silent symphony of vengeance unfolding and a desire to protect their mother.
"They used a VPN, but not a strong one; I will be done in a few seconds," Lu Ting Cheng coldly muttered, his fingers dancing over the screen. "I'm already in. They thought they could stay anonymous? They are so stupid!"
A cold smile curved his lips, it was through these skills they could protect their family and themselves. "So pathetic."
Zi Zhen gave a single nod while he let his eyes roam around the hall, "Trace it down. I want everything about that account, the name, phone, bank records, even the café they sat in when they posted it. I want every little detail about that person who dared to."
He stepped away, glancing once more at his mother across the room. She was calmer and chatting around with his father.
Noticing that someone was looking at her, she turned around and gave her son a nod before she turned back, and smiled softly at someone who had come to greet her, her poise returning like silk flowing back into shape.
But even from this distance, he could see it, the slight tension in her shoulders, the way she stood just a little too straight. This was the first time their father brought her out to have fun but they were targeting her?
It made him angrier.
He turned back to face Ting Cheng. "Once you have got the info, don't send anyone yet. I will handle the first message myself."
Ting Cheng raised a brow, amused by his brother, but anyway, he had been like this all this time. "Personally?"
"Yes, I will handle it personally."
Meanwhile, Lu Wan Ruyi stood near the refreshments table, listening to a business associate drone on about international mergers.
She nodded politely, but her mind was elsewhere. Her eyes flickered to the corner where her children stood. She knew what they were capable of and she was the only person who could stop them. They were a menace when they started to act up.
Zhi Hao noticed she was looking at the kids from time to time, he leaned down slightly. "You are thinking too much again. Don't stress yourself!"
"I just can't help it. I didn't expect that kind of ambush. I didn't think people would be after me, after all, those pictures were from some years back!" Yes, before she was even sent to the Li family home and engaged to Li Feng.
"You are Lu Wan Ruyi, and your existence threatens a lot of people!" he said firmly, kissing her and assuring her all was well. "You are my beautiful wife. No one here is brave enough to touch you without bleeding for it. If they do, they know what to expect."
A faint smile touched her lips. "When did you become so poetic?"
"When someone dared insult you," he replied before bending over and whispering, "When it's you, I become poetic naturally!"
Just then, Lu Zi Zhen reappeared, face impassive but eyes hard as steel. He walked over and got closer to his parents.
"We have found out who it is!"
Wan Ruyi turned slowly eying him. "Already?" She was once again surprised at their speed! Their hacking skills seemed to have improved in leaps.
"Yes, momma! She used her company's Wi-Fi. Amateur mistake you know." Zi Zhen paused gazing at his father. "Would you like us to make it public? I would handle everything."
