Chapter 896: Top Three on the Hacker Ranking Refused to Accept an Order

Editor: Henyee Translations

After the Tong siblings were arrested, the Tong family’s influence managed to suppress the news, preventing it from spreading widely.

Nevertheless, the wealthy families in the capital had caught wind of the rumors.

Gu Zhaoming and Ruan Xueling were aware that Gu Yang had narrowly escaped a dangerous situation.

Once Gu Yang left the Tong family, she noticed several missed calls and messages from her parents, sister, and brother.

She quickly updated the family group chat to reassure them of her safety before heading home with Feng Jue.

“Yangyang, it’s such a relief to see you safe,” Ruan Xueling said, enveloping Gu Yang in a tight hug as soon as she walked in.

Gu Pei’s face was flushed with anger. “What’s wrong with the Tong family? We have no issues with them, yet they tried to have you killed!”

Gu Zhaoming, however, was more concerned about the bigger picture. “Yangyang, tell us everything. What exactly happened?”

Gu Yang nodded and recounted the entire ordeal, including the shocking revelation from Tong Rao claiming she was her daughter.

“What?! Family Head Tong actually claimed you’re her biological daughter?!”

Ruan Xueling instinctively tightened her grip on Gu Yang’s hand, as if to prevent anyone from taking her away.

Gu Pei’s expression turned to one of realization. “So, the Tong siblings must have feared that you’d be recognized and challenge them for the family assets, so they set this up! They’re utterly ruthless!”

Even Gu Jin was taken aback by the news, not expecting such a development.

Gu Yang gently patted Ruan Xueling’s hand to reassure her. “I didn’t accept her.”

Feeling a surge of indignation on Gu Yang’s behalf, Gu Pei added, “Why would you want to acknowledge a mother who abandoned you? She’s not worthy of it! Sister, this is your home. We are your family.”

Gu Yang smiled and nodded in agreement.

Ruan Xueling, realizing her anxiety, softened her tone. “Yangyang, you’re our little princess. As your parents, we want to protect you from any harm.”

“If your biological parents had shown you the same love we do and you could accept them, we’d be happy for you.”

“However, Tong Rao’s actions are unforgivable. She abandoned you at birth and now that you’ve become successful, she wants to claim you back. There’s no way such a thing could be right!”

“She doesn’t want you; we do!”

Ruan Xueling’s anger grew with every word. “The Tong siblings’ premeditated murder must be pursued to the fullest extent.”

Gu Zhaoming’s eyes darkened, realizing that he needed to accelerate his plans. Only by becoming the head of the Gu Family and wielding its power could he compete with Tong Rao, the head of the Tong Family.

Feng Jue added his support, “Dad, Mom, don’t worry. I’ll do everything I can to help Sister.”

Gu Jin echoed the sentiment, “The Tong Family wants to handle this privately? Not a chance.”

That night, the suppressed news about the Tong family’s attempt to conceal their scandal was leaked online. The hashtag #Heir of the Tong Family and the eldest daughter of the Tong Family arrested for attempted murder# quickly trended.

A video showing the Tong siblings being escorted out of a police car in handcuffs spread widely, making their plight a major topic of discussion.

The next morning, the wealthy families in the capital were in an uproar, and online forums buzzed with speculation.

“Family Head, they say the trending searches can’t be removed. It’s not a financial issue but a problem with the system. It’s suspected that a hacker on the dark web has tampered with it,” a subordinate reported to Tong Rao in her study.

Her face darkened with fury. “Then find the hacker!”

“Unfortunately, the top hackers on the Dark Net List have refused the job. The fourth-ranked group, the Francis family, doesn’t take orders from other families, and the fifth-ranked hacker, Smile, took the job but failed.”
