When Gatlin finally regained his balance, he tried to look at the computer screen which displayed the messy set of codes. Everyones eyes were focused on him. Some were scolding him, while some were still confused at what just happened.
The shrilling alarm resounded in his ears, and the words You are useless played in his mind again and again.
I I didnt Gatlin was flustered, not able to think straight.
He knew that the program was fine just now. Hence, he was dumbfounded that out of nowhere, it just stopped working.
Director, Mr. Salazar is here. Someone rushed to Theos side and reminded him.

What are you waiting for? Hurry up and find out what happened here.
Cut off the networking! Theos face was obviously furious. He instantly gave a stern order and turned to Gatlin.
Just stand where you are right now! Ill make sure that Mr. Salazar will hear in detail what you have done!
Didnt you say that the problem was settled already? Whats going on then? James and the others came into the central control room to have a better understanding of the situation.
Theo hurried and greeted James, Mr. Salazar, why are you here?
What do you mean why am I here? If I hadnt come down, I wouldnt have known that this matter has gotten serious and that the database is about to get torn down! So, what now? Do you plan to hide it from me? James asked with a frown, scolding Theo and the others.
Knowing that he was in the wrong, Theo immediately Lowered his head and said, Well, a hacker intruded into our program, and it seems that his skills arent to be underestimated. We were short in time, so we had no choice but to gamble, executing an idea that ultimately failed.
Behind James, Carson was just standing with his hands in his pockets.

He looked at the scene indifferently as if it had nothing to do with him. He also glanced around the central control room but didnt find the person he was looking for. Obviously, he was rather disappointed.
Didnt he say that he wanted to come to the lab to broaden his horizon? Then, why isnt he here?
Theo wiped the sweat on his forehead and continued Also, I have another matter to report to you, Mr. Salazar! Initially, we planned to cut off the networking. This way, we can at least save the original data and prevent the hacker from succeeding. But then Gatlin stopped me before I can order that. He proudly said that he had a way. Afterward, he changed the program code without my permission.
However, his plan failed, and the hacker was able to attack our program again. The second time around, the attack was more violent that we were caught off guard.
Gatlin tightened his lips and clenched his fists, but said nothing.
Gatlin? James furrowed his brows as he heard the name. Apparently, he was not familiar with Gatlin.
Theo immediately replied, Yes, he is an intern in our lab. His father is Boris, a member of the board of directors.
There were not that many people in the lab who knew Gatlins real identity, but Theo was able to discover it by accident. After saying that, Theo raised his eyes to observe the expression on James face.
When he saw that James looked more frustrated after hearing that
Boris was Gatlins father, he was secretly relieved.
It turned out that James and Boris had always been at odds with each other over work decisions. In fact, the board of directors was usually divided into two factions led by them respectively. Therefore,
Theo assumed that when James knew Gatlins identity, he would definitely be unhappy. He thought that James would pin all the blame to Gatlin for the loss of their labs data.
