Both Ying Yue and Ming Ming were a testament to what type of person he used to be. Short outbursts, constantly angry, steaming silently, etcetera. They were all aspects of him that existed but had become more controlled over time. That did not mean he was incapable of bringing back such a side. 

There was always a point where someone will burst because of how much they endured. He used to be the type that burst whenever the slightest thing affected him. This was him around seven years back and he could attribute most of it to a 'rebel phase.' Where they used to live did not allow them to be children and enjoy their youth. They have been on back to back missions since they were 'taken' in and m.a.t.u.r.ed a lot quicker than regular children. The phase where children rebelled or teenagers threw a tantrum was not a luxury for them. 

His only sign of going through that phase was his anger. Ever since it had come in the way of one of his missions, he had focused very hard in controlling it outwardly. Inwardly. he felt like he was still the same man but his reasons for anger were more serious. Touching his friends or family could set him - as it should. 

The instant he had gotten the warning that such a code was created, he had focused on mitigating the risk. Being that it was hard to track the exact location, he had to use this own thinking to deduce the perpetrator. Since the timing matched Xi Long and the descriptions used were her natural image, he immediately thought it was him. That again, he still gave the other out just in case it was not him though all the signs were pointing there. 

He could leave the addressing of that mess to Ying Yue, cyber wise he could had his own to care about. Zhuang Wei was a good hacker in the sense that he could defend against him fairly well. However, he was a little more inexperienced than him. It was easy for him to attack and slowly destroy the code on the side. With that action too, the other could determine what his purpose of the hacking was. 

That was only the first part of his 'revenge,' in fact his revenge had not even started yet. This was the preliminary set up before he could start being creative with his punishments. His fingers worked aggressively and at a heightened pace to complete things as soon as possible. As each couple of minutes past, another portion of the code was erased. There was enough resistance from the other that he could not do it one go. 

That is what extended the time of this so long and his fingers had slightly slowed when Ying Yue was on the call. It was natural that he listened in to what was said and what responses were being given. That call also confirmed who his target was and who sat on the other side of the screen. HIs fingers were moving on autopilot and his eyes were focused on the screen. However, his full attention and ears were focused on the two people behind them. 

The only time they slightly stuttered is when Ying Yue brought up where they lived. The guilt in her voice was clear as day and he hated when she acted like that. After so many years together, shifts in a person's emotions or their general views towards the other were very accurate. He knew that she threw a lot of blame on herself naturally. Heck, even as children Ying Yue was also the same. She liked to run straight into fire to protect them but sat here mulling over even the slightest inconvenience for them. 

A warmth seeped into his heart at the idea, they all had deep love for each other and it never failed to amaze him how they were able to make it this far. There was little to nothing he would not for either of them and that was the same vice versa. Yet, no matter how many years you spend with someone you can't b.a.r.e to short change them in any way. Ying Yue was like the "mother" or "older sister" of the group, ever since she handed them a bun that was their roles. 

She could not help but worry more for them and they had to reassure her each time. Sometimes, it made him feel bad since he could not successfully convince her. Hence, he was more passionate about protecting her peace and happiness. The fear of her almost being 'outed' to the world lit a fire directly under his a.s.s. He was already three hundred more times s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e when it came to them and people provoked him in such a way.

In the past couple of weeks, he had not done any private searches on Xi Long so the image or information on the best friend wasn't known to him. He just knew that someone like that existed and held a position in the Xi Corporations. The specifics of what made him tick or his back story were all vague so he could not use it to his advantage right now. That lack of personal knowledge made him fall back onto what he 'thought' would work. 

His general plan at this moment was to piss the other off so much his day or week was ruined. He could not destroy the computer or plant a virus while Ying Yue was still with Xi Long. So that idea was pushed to the back burner waiting to be used if needed. Whatever he did today had to be to the point and minimal damage. It could also not be long lasting so the only thing he could viably attack was his psyche. 

It was frustrating that he could not attack his psyche in a more twisted way, make him squirm as he layered attack upon attack. However, he still had to be restrained for their peace offerings and made a mental note of his transgressions instead. 

'Watch me catch you in real life, one hit or one more mistake and I'm getting revenge for everything in one go.'

His eyes became hooded as he glared holes into his screen. Just the mental promise of it made him exude a murderous aura and change his composure. You could tell just by looking at him how serious the situation was and he was about it. Reigning in most of his anger, he used that to push his fingers even faster on the keyboard. 

With most of the code destroyed he began to take complete control of the computer. There were at least four to five security layers he had to break through to gain that. It was a bit confusing at first but he enjoyed challenges. Seeing it as a game instead of a life or death opportunity, made it easier for him to infiltrate it. He knew putting too much pressure on his mind would only weaken it and this was too important to screw up in such a way. 

Pressing in two more keys, he clicked enter and turned the other's screen entirely black. That way the other could not see what he had to defend against and he could focus on attacking. A smirk rose onto his face as he typed out a specific line of command. 

From the other person's perspective, he was slowly typing things out by letter. 

"U....S...U.....C.....K....."

He paused a little to let the other process his sentence. A laugh would have exited him if not for his anger. Of course that was not the end of what he would write but he timed it in such, that the other was literally waiting to see what the other letter would be. Baiting them with each step until they saw the full sentence mocking them. The best insult for a hacker was to point fingers at their skills. Most of the experienced ones were c.o.c.ky or overly confident in Zhuang Wei's case, therefore it was a confirmed statement to trigger him. 

After enough time has passed, he continued writing sentences in the same manner. 

"D...O...N....T.....C....R....Y.....C..A....U...S....E...Y...O...U...S...U...C...K....N...O...T......E...V...E..R...Y...O...N...E...C...A...N......B..E....G...O....O...D...B....U....T....I....T....T.....A.....K....E...S.....S...K....I...L...L...S....T..O....S..U..C..K....T...H...I...S...M...U...C...H..."
