Peerless Martial Expert in the City-Chapter 228 Genius

Actually, by the time that cold snort was heard, the previous sentence had already become extremely faint. Had it not been for Xiao Yi’s exceptional hearing, he might not have been able to make out the whole sentence. The other party must have thrown the phone away as soon as they got their hands on it and spoke only after tossing it.

From this, Xiao Yi quickly deduced that the other person was in a very spacious place. The phone had stayed in the air for such a long time, and moreover, the person probably was not outdoors; if it had been outdoors, their voice likely wouldn’t have traveled so clearly.

Wang Qingqing is in danger!

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yi’s figure hastily dashed towards the villa’s garage without any pause. As he moved, his mind whirred into action. What should he do now?

The information he currently knew was extremely limited.

Even as he sat in the car, Xiao Yi still hadn’t thought of any good strategy.

The only thing he knew now was the information from the recent call.

Sitting in the driver’s seat, Xiao Yi gripped the steering wheel tightly, forcing his mind to stay as calm as possible whilst he rapidly analyzed all the information at hand.

Xiao Yi was very clear that panic, nervousness, and anxiety were not the optimal emotions for solving problems. The only thing needed to resolve the situation was one emotion, and that was calmness!

"Call!"

Suddenly, as the word "call" flashed through his mind, a spark of insight flickered across Xiao Yi’s thoughts. He slapped the steering wheel hard and picked up his phone again, dialing a number.

"Hello, Brother Xiao, it’s you, hee-hee. What made you think to call me? Did you miss me?"

The call connected quickly, and the mischievous, sweet voice of Zeng Xiaoxiao came through the receiver.

"Little girl, where are you right now? Do you have a computer nearby? I have a very urgent matter, and you must help me!"

Although Xiao Yi was telling himself to stay calm and was trying to control his emotions, at this very moment, even the coolest demeanor couldn’t hide the urgency in his heart, and he had no time for small talk with Zeng Xiaoxiao, going straight to the point.

"What? What’s the matter? Brother Xiao, has something happened?"

Hearing the unprecedented panic in Xiao Yi’s voice, Zeng Xiaoxiao, who had been idly swinging her white feet while sitting on the sofa at home, suddenly became tense. Her swinging feet stopped, pressing tightly against the couch.

It was known that even when Xiao Yi got expelled from school the last time, he had not shown such panic, nor had he called her, not even sending a notification.

But now he was so panicked as to ask for her help - how could this not surprise and worry her?

"It’s not me; it’s a friend of mine who’s in trouble. Can you look up for me where the phone that I had a call with a few minutes ago is located? Can you track the call? The number is 13XXXXXX."

Xiao Yi quickly explained and then asked anxiously, giving Zeng Xiaoxiao Wang Qingqing’s mobile number as well.

"Ah? The call from just now? I’ll try my best. Let me see from a few minutes ago, right?" 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Zeng Xiaoxiao felt a bit relieved to hear that Xiao Yi was not the one in trouble. As she listened to him, her brows furrowed slightly, and she immediately leaped up from the sofa, rushing toward the upstairs study.

"Yes, it’s been less than ten minutes until now. Little girl, please try to check it for me now."

Xiao Yi nodded urgently.

"Okay, Brother Xiao, just wait a moment."

Zeng Xiaoxiao reached the second-floor study and sat in front of the computer. She let out a slight pant from her lips, swiftly moving the mouse and clicking through screens while speaking to Xiao Yi on the phone.

"All right, I’ll wait for your news."

Xiao Yi, holding the receiver, finally felt a bit more settled as he listened to the rapid typing sounds coming from Zeng Xiaoxiao’s end.

Zeng Xiaoxiao was a genius; that’s what she said to Xiao Yi on the first day they met, during a classroom session.

Xiao Yi knew, even though she had said it herself, it was indeed a fact!

Despite her usual easygoing demeanor, unorthodox way of thinking, and her apparent inclination towards violence, she truly was an absolute genius with an exceptional IQ. Many people knew this, but most thought her genius was in the field of mathematics because her most notable achievement was finishing all the math courses, including Ph.D. level, during high school.

She could have been admitted to Z University years ago, but her family had deliberately waited until she reached this age to start university.

Yet, few knew that her true genius lay in computer science, where she was an absolute authority!

Xiao Yi had once witnessed her gain administrative access to White Tiger Country’s most secret internal website using just a laptop in less than the time it took to finish a single class!

As she proudly showed off her conquest to him, his eyes nearly bugged out. This was no fiction, no joke; it was the real deal. To someone with a deeper understanding of certain matters like him, it was clear that the so-called infiltrations, particularly into sites like the White Tiger Country’s Day Palace, were far from the oversimplified versions depicted in some novels.

White Tiger Country, a global leader in introducing the concept of the information age and spearheading information technology in warfare, took cyber security extremely seriously, much more than the average person could imagine. Their websites were not so easily hacked!

When the word "call" had come to mind just now, his first reaction was to turn to her for help.

Xiao Yi quietly held the receiver, inhaling deeply while waiting for the voice on the other end of the phone, hearing the crisp sounds of keyboard typing coming clearly from the receiver.
