Even the tycoons of wealthy families kneel down; the real heiress is the matriarch.

The saleswoman asked sarcastically, "How can you access the security footage without authorization? You're probably just stalling for time!"

Bai Su ignored her and reached out to Zhang Shu directly: "Give me the computer."

Zhang Shu subconsciously took the computer out of his bag and handed it to Bai Su.

After doing all this, he realized that his behavior was somewhat outrageous.

Why did he subconsciously do whatever Bai Su said?

It's just that Bai Su has an indescribable tranquil and serene temperament, as if nothing can disturb her mind.

Unfortunately, she was only a seventeen-year-old girl.

Zhang Shu wondered to himself what this young girl had gone through to be so old-fashioned in her speech, actions, and even demeanor.

Thinking about Bai Su's mother's reaction earlier, and her behavior of abandoning her child and running away, Zhang Shu mistakenly believed that this was the reason why Bai Su was different from her peers.

But he was only distracted for two minutes before he heard Bai Su say, "The ring has been found."

"What?!"

"Found it?!"

Zhang Shu and the saleswoman at the counter looked at Bai Su at the same time, and saw her fingers flying across the computer screen, which then displayed a surveillance video.

She pressed the double-click button, and the screen zoomed in.

In the scene, Bai Su quickly put the ring back in the ring box after taking it, and then Zhang Shu next to her suggested looking at another ring.

The saleswoman then went to get another ring as he instructed.

But she accidentally bumped her cuff against the ring box.

The ring box tipped over, and the rings inside fell into the gap between the two glass cases.

Zhang Shu looked at her in surprise.

"How did you do that?"

"Their mall's firewall is very easy to breach."

Firewall...

very good……

Break through...

Zhang Shu opened his mouth wide, almost big enough to fit an egg inside.

This girl is probably really something special.

Thinking back to the confident look in her eyes when she proposed the bet...

Could it be that she really does have excellent grades?

Or is it that the mall's firewall is so fragile that even an ordinary high school student could easily breach it?

Zhang Shu was unsure which of the two categories Bai Su belonged to.

He secretly hoped it would be the former, since no one wants to lose face.

No matter how down on his luck he is now, he is still a school principal.

He wouldn't have agreed to the bet with Jiang Zhenghao if it weren't for the hope that Bai Su would have the motivation to study hard.

But now it seems that things aren't as bad as he initially thought?

The sales clerk didn't care about any of that; after watching the security footage, she hurriedly asked a colleague to open the glass display case.

Sure enough, they found the missing ring, worth 140,000, hidden in the crevice.

However, the joy of regaining what was lost was quickly overshadowed by embarrassment.

She misunderstood Bai Su...

But as an adult, she couldn't bring herself to admit her mistake to a child, so she just coughed twice and said, "The ring has been found, you can go now."

Bai Su was about to speak when Zhang Shu spoke first.

"Leave? You were just saying she stole the ring, and now you think you can just brush it all off with a casual 'You can go now'?"

Knowing she was in the wrong, the saleswoman had no choice but to apologize to Bai Su.

Bai Su, however, did not accept it.

"Someone like you isn't suited for this line of work."

She didn't just make a mistake and get misunderstood as stealing.

Instead, her attitude towards other customers was completely different from theirs from the very beginning because of her shabby clothes.

She doesn't want to accept an apology from someone like that.

Just then, the store manager returned, learned what had happened, gave the man a severe scolding, and offered to pay compensation for emotional distress.

Bai Su naturally refused to accept it, but Zhang Shu insisted that she accept it.

"It'll be good to have evidence, so if the same thing happens again in the future, we can really sue them."

Bai Su hesitated for a moment, but ultimately listened to Zhang Shu and accepted the money.

Along with the letter, they also received an apology letter written by the manager himself.

Bai Su's quiet eyes coldly stared at the saleswoman at the counter.

There will be no next time.

This time, she forgave him, not because she was soft-hearted, but because he hadn't really hindered or hurt her.

If any real damage had been caused, she wouldn't have ended it so easily.

The saleswoman only then realized that this poorly dressed girl was not someone to be trifled with.

……

After leaving the store, Zhang Shu couldn't help but ask about the surveillance footage.

When did you start learning computer technology?

"last night."

"What?!" Zhang Shu was so shocked that he almost slipped, but Bai Su caught him in time to steady him.

"You started learning computer skills last night? You're not kidding?"

Bai Su's serene face showed a bewildered expression beyond her years: "What's so surprising about this?"

She has always had a strong learning ability.

Although this thing didn't exist in their time, she had the original owner's memories, so she didn't need to learn about this era in detail.

As for hacking techniques, she didn't sleep well last night, so she got up and read many e-books about hacking techniques online.

"The mall's firewall is easy to breach; it's not as difficult as you think."

Of course, this only means that it wasn't that difficult for her.

For an ordinary person, it would probably take more than a decade to reach her current level of hacking skills.

Hearing that the firewall was indeed easy to breach, Zhang Shu couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

It seems that Bai Su is not a genius after all.

However, he quickly rallied.

"It's one thing for firewalls to be easy to breach, but it's another thing for you to have a strong learning ability."

Even the easiest firewall to breach requires a certain level of technical skill, yet Bai Su accomplished this in just one night.

Thinking about it this way, Bai Su is still better than ordinary students; she still has the talent to get into a top university.

Bai Su looked at him: "Thank you. So you can rest assured, I won't let you go to the capital to be a gatekeeper."

Zhang Shu laughed heartily: "Then I have to thank you. Jiang Zhenghao has been wicked since he was young. It would be good if we could really teach him a lesson."

Then I asked her, "Where are you going now? Your mother... seems to have passed away."

There was a hint of sympathy in his tone.

Bai Su, however, didn't care at all.

Dong Suying wasn't her biological mother, so she had no expectations of her and naturally felt neither disappointed nor sad.

But then a tightness started to feel in her chest again, and she knew that this was the original owner's reaction.

Bai Su pressed a certain acupoint on her body to suppress the feeling of tightness in her chest.

"Principal Zhang, are you going back to school? If so, could you give me a ride to register on the way?"

"sure."

……

Meanwhile, Pei Wenyan's subordinates learned that the mall's firewall had been breached and urgently notified Pei Wenyan.

A rare look of astonishment appeared on Pei Wenyan's usually expressionless, handsome face.

"That's impossible," he said instinctively.

The reason is simple: he designed the firewall himself.

The shopping mall claimed it was an upgrade to the surveillance system, but in reality, the entire security system was upgraded at the same time.

He completed the entire system by himself, and he was well aware of how high the security level was.

It can be said to be flawless.

He came to the mall today to personally install this security system.

Once it's confirmed that there are no problems, the system can be deployed in large quantities in Pei's various shopping malls and companies.

Who would have thought that his firewall would be breached so soon after he left the mall?

This was almost a disgrace to him.

"Did you make a mistake?" Pei Wenyan asked.

However, after his subordinates confirmed repeatedly that the firewall had indeed been breached, and in less than two minutes.

Pei Wenyan was surprised again.

"Who did it?"

"We're tracking the signal source, but it'll take a while. If you do it yourself, you should be able to find the person quickly."

Pei Wenyan moved his lips, but ultimately shook his head.

"Never mind! None of that matters now. Just keep track of this person and let me know when you find him."

He rushed to the hospital to visit Grandpa Pei.

After the old man went to the Fu family, he suddenly fainted, which worried him greatly.

Compared to the security system, the old man's safety is more important.

His parents died early, and now his grandfather is his only relative...

At the same time, Jiang Zhenghao returned to the capital with gifts he had bought from the mall.

As soon as he got out of the car, he hurriedly asked the vice principal, "Has Young Master Fu arrived?"

"You're here! I've been waiting for you in the office."

Jiang Zhenghao didn't care about anything else and quickly ran to his office.

Before pushing the door open, he carefully tidied his clothes and hairstyle.

An elderly person and a child were already waiting inside.

The handsome young man, dressed in white, stood out. He was sitting on his sofa, while an elderly man in a butler's uniform was pouring him tea.

Jiang Zhenghao immediately stepped forward with a fawning smile.

"Young Master Fu, hello. I am Jiang Zhenghao, the principal of Imperial High School. Welcome to our school; it is a great honor for us..."

The boy seemed not to hear what he said, and simply drank his tea quietly.

Jiang Zhenghao didn't mind the other person being alone at all, and took out a gift box from his pocket.

"I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting, but I was late because I went to buy you a gift for your graduation..."

The boy then looked up and his gaze fell on the gift box in the other person's hand.

It is a famous brand fountain pen.

He didn't reach out to take it, but simply asked, "Besides me, have there been any other transfer students at your school recently?"

The boy's voice was as clear as a stream, yet it also carried a cold arrogance that kept strangers at bay.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhenghao shook his head repeatedly.

"No! Admission to our Imperial High School is extremely difficult to obtain. Unless you have exceptionally outstanding grades or someone of extraordinary status like yourself, you are not eligible to transfer to the Imperial High School mid-term..."

His mouth was full of flattery.

They were afraid the other party would think that Imperial High School was a trash school where any Tom, Dick, or Harry could get in.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing his words, the young man immediately furrowed his handsome brows.

"Since that's the case..."

He stood up and looked at Butler Fu: "Let's go."

"Yes, young master!" Butler Fu replied, and then prepared to leave.

"Wait! Young Master Fu, please wait..." Jiang Zhenghao quickly stopped the two and asked, "What do you mean by that? I don't understand... You... you're not coming to our school anymore?"

The boy simply said, "Wherever she studies, I will study."

"who is she?"

The boy ignored him, so he could only ask Butler Fu.

Butler Fu said, "It's a Miss Bai, and the young master is looking for her. If any female students with the surname Bai from your school want to transfer here in the future, please call me immediately."

After saying that, he took out his business card and handed it to Jiang Zhenghao.
