Chapter 20: White Fox, Core Member of the Shadow Alliance

Gu Mang stepped out of the Lu residence when a sharp vibration came from her bag. She took out the heavy flip phone inside. It was a video call. She switched it to voice only. "It's me," she said in a low, androgynous voice.

"Every time I ask for a video, you refuse. How much do you think you defy human imagination in appearance?" The voice on the other end sounded like a scolding woman.

The man was Yun Ling, the head of diplomacy for the Shadow Alliance. Normally, he handled all of Gu Mang’s mission communications personally. He was especially eager to see what their most mysterious core leader looked like. But every video request was flatly denied.

They say when God opens a window for you, He closes a door. Could it be that this guy looked like a car crash scene?

The girl replied coldly, "Whatever, I’m hanging up."

"Hey, hey, don’t hang up!" Yun Ling hurriedly said, sighing with regret before getting to business. "I’ve transferred the money to your account. Check it."

"Got it."

"There’s another job — a billion yuan for finding someone. You’re in need of money lately, want to take it?"

"Who?"

"Rumor has it, a miracle healer, quite mysterious, a Chinese medicine doctor with mastery in acupuncture. Two years ago, he appeared in the Middle East. There’s a blurry photo of his back—buzz cut, seems to be male."

Gu Mang narrowed her eyes. "Who posted the job?"

Yun Ling said, "That Lu Shao from the capital, Lu Chengzhou."

A cold gleam flashed in Gu Mang’s eyes. Her voice was icy. "How many websites posted the mission?"

There had originally been three international hacker organizations, each with their own job posting sites.

Eight years ago, a hacker group called Shadow Alliance suddenly appeared. They took on the most impossible missions ranked number one worldwide—and completed them beautifully.

The name Shadow Alliance shocked the world overnight.

Within six months, the group rose to become one of the four major hacker alliances, ranking first.

Their core member, White Fox, had personal data repeatedly targeted by hackers worldwide with no success.

About White Fox, only this codename existed.

From then on, White Fox was recognized as the undisputed king of hackers.

For so many years, no one had challenged this status.

But this person was so mysterious, appearing only once every few years.

Within the Shadow Alliance, only Lin Shuang had seen White Fox.

Others didn’t even know if White Fox was male or female.

Lin Shuang was the type to never reveal even a shred of the big boss’s private information, even under death.

Yun Ling found it odd Gu Mang asked how many sites posted the mission but didn’t press further. "Besides us, there are two other groups. But I think Lu Chengzhou is just throwing money around. If we can’t find him, do you think the others can?"

He rambled on, but Gu Mang remained silent.

Worried, he glanced down at his phone and saw she hadn’t hung up. He breathed a sigh of relief.

"So, will you take the mission or not?"

"No."

She said it decisively, then hung up and tossed the phone back into her bag.

Reaching for a cigarette, she thought of the person she was about to meet and held herself back.

Yun Ling: Damn, ruthless!
