Resurrecting the Genius Within

Chapter 29 The Genius Hacker was Traced Back

“Look, it’s this person.”

Mr. Burton held up his phone in front of George, showing Ethan’s post on the forum.

George first glanced at the ID, then was attracted by the six pictures

on the post,

He took the phone, and his initial thought upon opening the pictures was the handwriting was impressive. Then, he began to examine the problem–solving process,

George was born in Edenvale and raised in Ivy Hollow. He helped manage his family’s business in Melfrey while studying there. He also founded his own company and successfully listed it within a year. After studying abroad, he decided to return and study at Taragon University. He officially took over the family business at the age of twenty. He has always had a mentor–student relationship with Magnus Burton, the principal of Taragon University.

Seeing George looking at the question. Mr. Burton said, “I wanted to ask you the problem, but you’re so busy. I didn’t dare to waste your time. It’s really difficult to meet you.”

George wasn’t very interested in the problem. After a glance, he asked, “Doesn’t the forum require real- name registration?”

“No, if it did. I would have asked the administrator to check it directly and wouldn’t have come to you. Our Taragon University forum only requires real–name registration for the teachers and students. These guests don’t need it, but the administrators must review their posts and comments before they are released.”

George asked, “Have you contacted him?”

“Your junior, James, and I have contacted him. I offered generous conditions, but he replied that it was inconvenient and ignored me. James was even prepared to hire a hacker to track his IP address. I thought it wasn’t appropriate, so I asked you for help.”

“How do you want me to find him?” George put down his phone.

“Is there anything you can do with your wide connections? Just find a technical person from your team to help me check.”

“What’s the difference between this and James hiring a hacker?”

“Uhm… Mr. Burton adjusted his glasses and realised no difference. He looked at George’s slightly smiling eyes and stubbornly said, “The nature is still different.”

George didn’t say anything and called his assistant, Dylan.

Dylan was not only George’s assistant but also ranked tenth among the world’s hackers, a fact known to only a few people.

He developed many of the security systems of the Harris Group.

Having such a top–notch hacker to track a simple IP address was indeed excessive.
