Chapter 10: Enemies Meet 3. People who have their own shielding signal
The next morning, the internet at home still didn't work. Mai Xiaoshu comforted Song Feifei, saying that she didn't have to go to her part-time job today and would go home early to find a solution so that the young lady would stop worrying.
During the morning break, the students around Mai Xiaoshu were all looking down at their phones.
Wang Lili, a girl at the next table, looked at her cute kitten on her phone and happily shared it with Mai Xiaoshu: "Xiaoshu, my cat is so pretty! By the way, what kind of cat did you adopt?"
“I didn’t play.”
"Ah? This is fun. How about I download one for you?"
Seeing Wang Lili’s enthusiastic face, Mai Xiaoshu couldn’t refuse, so he nodded.
"Huh?" Wang Lili took Mai Xiaoshu's phone, but found that her phone had no signal. She looked at her phone suspiciously and found that the signal, which was full at first, was disappearing one by one.
"What's going on?" Wang Lili shouted as she stood up and raised her chin to ask the students in the front row, "Do you have a signal?"
They exclaimed, "It was there just now, but it's gone all of a sudden."
Wang Lili pinched her chin and thought: "Could it be that the school's cable is broken?"
Mai Xiaoshu took the phone she returned, looked at it again, and clicked on all the apps, but none of them opened.
At this time, another voice came from the corner of the classroom two meters away: "We have a signal here!"
"How could this happen? I'll sit over there." Wang Lili muttered as she carried her schoolbag and went to the corner of the classroom to listen to the class, and she also pulled Mai Xiaoshu along with her.
Mai Xiaoshu followed, but just as he approached the corner, a classmate in the corner exclaimed, "What's going on, Wang Lili? There's no signal as soon as you guys got here!"
Hearing his classmates' complaints and seeing Wang Lili's tearful expression, Mai Xiaoshu felt alarmed.
She subconsciously felt that the signal had nothing to do with Wang Lili, but was related to her. Since yesterday, wherever she appeared, there seemed to be no signal or network.
Mai Xiaoshu asked Wang Lili to sit down, and walked away a little. He turned back and asked loudly, "Is there a signal?"
Everyone in the classroom nodded their heads in agreement, and some even exclaimed, "So you are the source of the signal blockage!"
Fortunately, the class bell rang soon, but she still heard the complaints of classmates who usually liked to secretly check their phones during class: "No signal again, does she have a built-in jammer?"
"No way, it's so awesome!"
"Sit away from her next time."
Hearing the whispers of her classmates, Mai Xiaoshu looked around with a red face. She originally didn't care much about the lack of signal, but now she was extremely upset. What was going on?
As soon as the class was over, Mai Xiaoshu ran straight to a small pavilion in a secluded place in the school. She took out her mobile phone, turned it on and off, but there was still no signal. She opened the address book and tried to call Song Feifei, but there was no response from the other end of the phone for a long time. Soon the screen showed that the call failed.
When she was swiping through the address book on her phone and saw the three words "An Chengye", an idea suddenly appeared in her mind. She plucked up her courage and clicked on the number that she hadn't dialed for a long time.
One second...
Two seconds...
Three seconds later, someone actually answered the phone.
"You..." Mai Xiaoshu stood up suddenly, staring ahead, and asked in disbelief: "Why did you answer the phone?"
"Are you an idiot? Didn't I answer the phone because you called me?"
After being stunned for a moment, Mai Xiaoshu remembered the purpose of her call. When An Chengye's voice came, her guess was almost correct.
"I want to ask why I can't get through to other people but can call you. It's because you hacked my phone, right? And the phones of people around me have no signal. It's all your fault, right?"
The arrogant face of An Chengye appeared in Mai Xiaoshu's mind. The only one who would deliberately target her and have the ability to do so was An Chengye.
The other party remained silent for a long time, and after a while he acquiesced: "So what? You stole the company's secrets. I have reason to suspect that you will continue to use your phone and computer to harm my project and hurt the people around me. Of course I have to monitor you, and this is also a punishment for you!"
"You've gone too far! You're the one who said you wouldn't pursue the matter! If you're not satisfied, just call the police. I want to take this opportunity to prove my innocence!"
"I only said that I wouldn't call the police to arrest you, but I never said that I wouldn't let you be punished."
"You can punish me if you want, but what do you mean by causing the electronic devices around me to lose network signals? Do you want everyone to isolate me?"
He snorted coldly from the other end of the phone: "You got it right, you're not that stupid."
"You...An Chengye, you are too childish!" Mai Xiaoshu really couldn't think of a more appropriate word to describe An Chengye's behavior.
She was so angry that she hung up the phone with a bang.
On the other end, An Chengye, who was sitting in the office, stared at the black screen and said in disbelief: "Did that little bitch hang up on me?"
