Chapter 482: A Genius Hacker (Part One)
Xu Cheng already moved the lab elsewhere.
After Xu Cheng got the medical qualification license in the M Nation, he changed his number, and that email that was sent to Senator Jerry was also deleted by Stenson.
In other words, even if Senator Jerry wanted to find Xu Cheng, he wouldn’t be able to anymore. Yet, this meticulous hacker still managed to find the email from the server’s database. This was enough to show how skilled this hacker was!
Just from this achievement alone, Xu Cheng felt that he should check this person out.
Xu Cheng already moved the lab to the basement of his villa, and he was waiting in the garden of his villa drinking tea for this anonymous visitor that phoned him.
When Xu Cheng saw the actual guy, he was quite shocked.
This was an extremely sloppy-looking man!
“Are you sure you have cancer?” Xu Cheng curiously asked the guy that came in with a rock punk hairstyle.
This guy suddenly pulled off his long hair, showing his pale white face and bald head.
He looked at Xu Cheng and said, “If I don’t wear the wig, I’m afraid that the people around me will be scared of looking at me or look at me with pity.”
Xu Cheng subconsciously lowered his eyes and saw his fingers, all ten of them had calluses.
“Come on in,” Xu Cheng said. Then, he walked into the villa first.
As the man followed in, Xu Cheng asked, “What’s your name?”
“Rich.”
Xu Cheng: “Rich, I think you got the wrong guy. I’m not a doctor, and I don’t think humanity has really overcome the obstacle of cancer yet.”
Rich anxiously said, “Then what about Senator Jerry? Excuse me for being blunt, but I’ve observed him for a long time now. Because my condition is similar to him, other than the fact that I got it later than him; I was also in the same hospital as him. However, he had all the privileged services he had as the senator, and I didn’t. So, I hacked into the hospital’s system to see if I’m taking the same kind medicine as him, and it turned out that the doctors were pretty fair in this regard. However, neither of our conditions were suppressed. One day, he was discharged from the hospital, and I heard the doctor telling him to start preparing for the funeral. I was very scared, because I knew I would be told that in the future too. I had been waiting for the news of the senator’s death, I was also scared to hear it. I really hoped that he could actually win against cancer to give me some positive energy encouragement. Every day I was watching the news, and one day, when I saw him on the newspaper, I was shocked. Only those that have been tormented by cancer can understand what a luxury it was for him to appear so energetic on the news. So, I felt that there should be hope for me to be saved as well. Later, I asked the hospital; I caused a big scene there too, questioning them how come the senator recovered, but I can’t! But, the attending doctor George told me that the senator wasn’t saved by him but someone else! So, I hacked into Jerry’s email in the server database and found an email from Mr. Stenson. Based on the timing, Stenson was probably involved in this whole thing with Senator Jerry getting cured!”
Xu Cheng asked, “You are a hacker?”
Although reluctant, Rich nodded in the end. “Yes.”
Xu Cheng: “The technology is still not very mature, the cost is still very high, and if it weren’t because Senator Jerry is the most promising candidate to win the election, I wouldn’t have helped. You don’t have to look at me like this. I admit, I have no medical ethics, but I can tell you that I’m the only one in the world that has the confidence to say that I can save you. But, I also have reasons and the right to not save you, just like how I have no obligation to save that many cancer patients in the world. Do you understand what I mean?”
Rich: “How much money?”
Xu Cheng: “This is not a question of money. In this world, do you think just having enough money can cure cancer? Do you still think it’s a question of money?”
Rich sighed. “I know I don’t have that much power like the senator, who can support you, nor do I have billions of dollars to give you like those billionaires. I’m here first just to check to see if you can cure me or not. I just want to live five more years, to enjoy the battlefield that belongs to me! Those that like to play with computers all have occupational illnesses, like problems with spines, high blood pressure, or long exposure to radiation. But, I still love this world of hackers. In this kind of peaceful era, the internet to me is no less than the battleground for World War III!”
