"What were you just talking about, so engrossed?" she asked, her voice eerily calm.
So we were being monitored!
Du Ran was the first to react, quickly yanking the power from the computer.
But Lin Bing's video call window didn’t disappear; it instantly transferred to my phone screen.
Damn! Seamless transition!
Chen Yu shrank back behind me in fright.
Lin Bing looked at us, a cold smirk tugging at her lips.
"What’s wrong? Did you do something shady and are afraid I’ll hear it?"
"Lin Bing, what do you want?!" I couldn't help but shout.
"I don’t want anything," Lin Bing shrugged. "I just want to prove my innocence."
"You all suspect me, right? Fine, I’ll show you the evidence."
She began sharing her screen, displaying the activity log from her computer.
Rows of timestamps, program names, and operation records showed no abnormalities at all.
"Do you see? From last night until now, I’ve done nothing but write code and watch videos."
"When those two attacks occurred, both my computer and phone were running normally, with no suspicious activity," she said, her tone calm and her evidence laid bare.
Could it be... that I had truly misjudged her?
I stared at the screen, trying to find a flaw in the logs.
At that moment, I noticed a detail behind Lin Bing in the video.
On her desk sat a metallic thermos, its surface smooth and shiny.
And on that thermos, a faint, flickering light was reflected.
It wasn't the glow of a computer screen; it resembled... the light emitted by some small electronic device!
This was during the time she claimed she was "doing nothing"!
Suddenly, it struck me that Lin Bing was a top-tier talent who had won first place in the National College Student Programming Contest!
For someone like her, operating an offline device while using a foreign VPN as a proxy to spoof an IP address was practically routine!
"Lin Bing," I said, fixing my gaze on her image on the screen, "is there something else hidden under your desk?"
The expression on Lin Bing's face froze.
The screen sharing abruptly cut off.
In the video, her eyes flashed with a hint of panic.
Chen Yu reacted, "Right! The Network Security Office said the attack IP is from abroad, but what if they were using a VPN?"
Du Ran added, "I checked several VPN servers she commonly uses, and one of the node locations matches the country of origin for both attacks..."
All the clues suddenly connected!
On the other end of the video, Lin Bing's face turned completely pale.
"You... you're talking nonsense!"
"I'm not!"
She almost screamed this out before abruptly hanging up the video call.
The dormitory fell into a dead silence.
The truth... seemed to be getting closer.
I took a deep breath and picked up my phone.
"We have to call the police."
"Wait!" Du Ran pressed down on my arm, "Not yet!"
"Why not?! The evidence is almost complete!"
"Not enough!" Du Ran's gaze was unusually firm. "These are just speculations! There’s no direct evidence! What if she destroyed that offline device in advance? We need more concrete proof to make her unable to deny it!"
"But what if she acts again?"
"Now that we've exposed her, she'll definitely be more cautious. We still have time!"
Du Ran's attitude was strangely resolute.
I found myself in a heated argument with her.
For the next two days, Lin Bing completely went off the grid.
No messages, no answered calls.
Du Ran and I nearly had a falling out over whether to report it to the police.
Just as we were at an impasse late into the night the following day—
"Beep beep beep! Warning! Your device is being accessed remotely! High-risk operations detected!"
A bright red system alert suddenly popped up on my phone screen!
