Chapter 620 - If Not Worse

Chapter 620: If Not Worse
The light from the mobile phone seemed cold as she read in the darkness.
The content of the document was written in a chilling way that one would feel fear as they read.
Xiang Wan felt that her heart almost came to a halt while she read through the document and looked around the room anxiously as if something was staring at her. The coat hanger where they hang their long coats seemed to come alive in the darkness…
She suddenly sat up from the bed.
Bai Muchuan!

The voice sounded shrill and loud.
It was particularly frightening to fear that in the dead of night.


Click! The lights were switched on.
Bai Muchuan was awakened from his sleep. His voice was full of drowsiness from sleep as he turned to look at the pale woman beside him. He reached out to hug her out of reflex.
Why? Did you have a nightmare?


No! It’s even worse than a nightmare!
Xiang Wan gave him her mobile phone. She hasn’t gotten out of her horrified state of mind. Her ashen look and her dishevelled hair made her look like a witch, immediately dispelling Bai Muchuan’s sleepiness.

Did you stay up late reading novels? You silly! Don’t be afraid, I’m here.
He patted her on the back, pulling her to him. He took the mobile phone away from her, gave a glance and was slightly shocked.
… You wrote this? You didn’t sleep in the middle of the night… and wrote all these?

Xiang Wan lifted her eyelids like a slow-motion scene in a movie and stared at him directly.

This document is not written by me. Yet it suddenly appeared on my phone, my Pages app…


This is not written by you?
Bai Muchuan took a glance at her mobile phone then looked at her face before furrowing his eyebrows.
Xiang Wan nodded her head.
She couldn’t understand it either.
His finger stroked the screen of the mobile phone as he mulled over this issue.


The Pages app could only be used by her…
Her mobile phone was with her the entire day!

I get it!


I get it!

The two of them said the same thing at the same time and looked at each other.
Bai Muchuan patted her head.
You sleep first!

He lifted the quilt and wanted to get out of bed. On the other hand, Xiang Wan, who was already frightened and worried, found herself unable to sleep anymore.

Where are you going? I want to come along.

Bai Muchuan heard the nervousness in her tone and realized that she must have been afraid after experiencing this frightening incident.
It’s cold outside…
he spoke softly,
Be good and stay here. I’ll be back soon…


It’s not cold.
Xiang Wan got up and dressed up herself.
When I’m with you, I won’t feel cold.




… Silly girl.

He puffed a sigh with a smile.

I’m not going anywhere. I’m just going to the study.

…
Nights were still freezing cold in the first month of the Lunar calendar.
Xiang Wan came from the southwestern part of the country where heaters were not a necessity. Not only was she unused to using the heater, but she also couldn’t stand the temperature from the heater. Hence, she didn’t switch them on during sleep.
Bai Muchuan let Xiang Wan wore his long coat and carried her to the study which was beside their room and put her down on a chair. They then turned on the computer and searched for the location of her old iPhone…
Just like the last time, only Xiang Wan’s current device was found.
Bai Muchuan’s eyebrows were closely crumpled together.
I can’t find it. You should change your password.

With the same iPhone account, users could share content with multiple devices. The Pages app was no exception.


The last time when Xiang Wan’s mobile phone got snatched, she had already changed her password.
Nevertheless, out of habit, it was still very similar to her old password.
Back then, the thought of someone hacking into her Apple ID had never crossed her mind.
That night, the sudden appearance of an unfamiliar document in Pages meant that it was not written by her.
Someone installed Pages on another device using the same account and saved the document.
But what made her hairs stand on end was the fact that someone managed to crack her password.
In other words, everything on her phone and laptop was completely open to that hacker who cracked her Apple ID.
Her laptop was a Macbook; her phone was an iPhone—she had used the same Apple ID.
Her privacy was being infringed and she no longer had any secrets.
Her pictures, documents, everything… could be seen by the hacker.


Xiang Wan broke out in cold sweat.
This is too scary!

In modern society, although electronic products provide convenience for human beings, it also exposes human beings to the Internet world totally.
Xiang Wan’s limbs were cold and when she was changing her password, she felt that her fingers were hurting.
She was cold, as well as nervous.

Luckily, I don’t have many secrets and that I’m not as well-liked…

Although her words might sound like she was relieved and all, she was actually feeling numb inside.
When Bai Muchuan called up Salimu, his tone was cold.
The Intelligence Team’s recent progress has been dragging us down! Tell them to reflect on themselves and adopt a more assertive work attitude!

His tone indicated his somewhat poor mood.
Salimu was on duty that night. He shivered when he suddenly heard the remarks from Bai Muchuan so unexpectedly.

Boss, I’ve already recorded down all that you’ve said in a notebook. I’ll definitely give you a report tomorrow.

Hmph! Bai Muchuan hung up the phone.
…
The study was now quiet.
The two of them gazed at each other for a moment before Bai Muchuan hugged Xiang Wan.

Are you cold?


I’m not cold!
she pulled the coat.
I’m not that weak.


You don’t have to pretend.
Bai Muchuan squeezed her face.
Just look at yourself. You’ve suffered such a scare that your face is white as a sheet…


I was quite terrified earlier, as for now…
Xiang Wan furrowed her eyebrows.
I was thinking about Xie Wanwan and that murderer’s script… No, Bai Muchuan, I don’t think I should change my password.


Why?
Bai Muchuan was perplexed and embraced her tightly.

It doesn’t matter anymore, even though the password has been changed. Whatever that could be seen has been seen. I might as well create a new Apple ID for my iPhone and Macbook, and just leave this account to the hacker…


Why? You want to wait for Manipulator X to send you the subsequent episodes?

Uh!

You’re right!
Xiang Wan admitted,
At least, I feel that we wouldn’t be too passive by doing this as I feel that the Manipulator X might be getting too full of himself. What he did tonight was obviously a provoking act. Hmph, the end result of thinking too highly of oneself usually ends up in doom…

Bai Muchuan deliberated over it and concurred by nodding his head.
Xiang Wan smiled, rubbed her hands and put her arms around his neck when she voiced out her other concerns.

If the next target is Xie Wanwan, why is there a kid in the murderer’s script?

Bai Muchuan narrowed his eyes in thought. He shook his head twice, slowly.
I will put Xie Wanwan on protection. Hmm, I’ll get Tang Yuanchu to come over first thing in the morning.

Xiang Wan looked at him deeply.
Mm.

She changed back to the old password.
After that, she applied for a new Apple ID.
After waiting for more than 10 minutes, another hot topic was starting to trend in Weibo.
The second episode of the Murderer’s Script was not only ‘released’ to Xiang Wan, it was also posted on the Internet…
At this moment, Xie Wanwan was still safe and well.
Manipulator X was crazy and arrogant to the extreme!
He was comparable to Cui Ming, if not worse!
