Chen Mo seemed to have anticipated that the beautiful master would say this. After seeing the message, he quickly typed: "Beautiful master, don't act rashly! Since this guy can write a backdoor program that even you can't detect, his skills must be very advanced. He might even have accomplices. If you act rashly, it could be dangerous!"

Li Ranzhu was taken aback by this and then typed: "Apprentice, how did you know that all these hacker programs were written by the same person?"

Chen Mo replied: "I have some knowledge of programming. When I was checking these programs, I noticed that although the code was deliberately rearranged and sometimes even meaningless code was added to confuse, overall, their similarity is very high. It's not hard to see that this was done intentionally to prevent others from discovering that all these programs were written by the same person, thus reducing the attention from hackers and preventing them from becoming suspicious."

Li Ranzhu, blinking her eyes after reading Chen Mo's explanation, said: "The apprentice is actually a programming expert?"

After saying this, she typed: "Apprentice, tell your master the truth, what do you really do?"

This question was a bit old, as Li Ranzhu had asked it before. Chen Mo had answered that he was sixteen years old, just a middle school graduate, and was working part-time at a computer specialty store.

At the time, Li Ranzhu felt that Chen Mo was lying. How could a middle school student have such advanced computer skills? Was he a genius? But even if he was a genius, he couldn't be better than her. She was also a genius and had been the top science student in the province when she was admitted to Huqing University!

Now, Li Ranzhu raised this question again because she felt that this apprentice didn't seem too bad. Otherwise, he wouldn't have told her about the situation he discovered. Since he warned her kindly, it showed that he cared about her. If she asked him again, he might tell the truth.

Chen Mo couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw the beautiful master's question. The internet world had this flaw: since they couldn't meet in person, it was impossible to determine what the person on the other end of the line looked like. Without a direct impression, it was difficult to judge whether what the other person said was true or false.

After a few bitter smiles, Chen Mo typed: "Beautiful master, the apprentice has answered this question before, and everything I said was true. The apprentice really didn't lie to you!"

Li Ranzhu fell into deep thought after reading Chen Mo's response. She thought: Could the apprentice's words be true? But wouldn't that be unbelievable? A middle school graduate with such advanced skills and high proficiency in programming, is that even possible? I am a top student from Huqing University's computer science department, yet I didn't notice any abnormalities in those hacker programs. The apprentice not only discovered this but could also accurately point out which part of the code was the backdoor program. Isn't that too exaggerated?

Li Ranzhu couldn't help but doubt again. Before she could decide whether to believe Chen Mo, he continued typing: "Beautiful master, I know this is hard to believe, but the truth is the truth. The apprentice wouldn't lie to you because lying to you wouldn't benefit me in any way. Is there anyone in the world so bored that they would spend 4,000 yuan to learn hacking just to waste time?"

After reading Chen Mo's words, Li Ranzhu's heart began to lean towards believing him. But soon, she shifted her balance back. No matter what, she couldn't believe that a middle school student without professional education could reach this level.

However, Li Ranzhu didn't want to dwell on this issue. From the current situation, this apprentice not only didn't threaten her safety but also warned her kindly. He had also paid and was learning hacking from her as agreed. Even if she didn't fully believe him, she didn't need to argue over money, right?

With this thought, Li Ranzhu typed: "Alright, the master believes you. But you said this guy's programming skills are very advanced, and you advised the master not to take revenge on him—aren't you looking down on the master? Do you really think I'm that weak?"

Chen Mo smiled bitterly and replied: "Beautiful master, your self-esteem is really strong. I was just reminding you, and you say I look down on you. Isn't that being unreasonable?"

Chen Mo then typed: "Beautiful master, the apprentice is not doubting your skills. I'm just worried about your safety. Didn't you tell me during class that a hacker should always remain rational? Why are you not being rational now?"

Li Ranzhu was very dissatisfied with Chen Mo's words. She typed: "What kind of thinking is this? This guy is harming the entire hacker community. Since we know about this, how can we just sit by and do nothing? Do you want to see him continue to do evil?"

Chen Mo sighed and patiently typed: "Beautiful master, the hacker world is inherently full of danger. Others didn't discover this situation, which only means their skills are not good enough or their vigilance is not high enough. This is the price they should pay, and it's also the awareness a hacker should have. I don't believe no one noticed this before me. After all, there are many experts in the hacker world. These programs have been released for more than three years, yet no one has exposed this. Are they all too timid to avoid trouble? I don't think so. Their thoughts are probably similar to mine. After all, this is the hacker world, and the nature of hackers is like this!"

After reading Chen Mo's earnest advice, Li Ranzhu fell into deep thought. Her first thought was: The master is so capable, but why didn't he tell us about this? Did he really not notice? Alright, even if the master didn't notice, there are many experts in the Red Guest Alliance. Some of them must have noticed this. Why didn't anyone expose it? Could their thoughts be the same as my apprentice's?

The more Li Ranzhu thought, the more she found it hard to understand. Everyone's thoughts are different. Even if my apprentice thinks this way, others might not. That's impossible! A thousand people have a thousand thoughts. If we analyze this realistically, this matter should have leaked out somehow, but the fact is that nothing has leaked. This is not normal! Absolutely not normal! (A great event where the sky drops pies, cool phones await you!
