Michael stared at the USB that popped out of the calculator in disbelief. Isn’t this a little too easy? How did Sophia guess the thousand-digit password that the Mitchell family couldn’t get right even though they tried so hard? It’s a thousand-digit password. If she pressed a wrong number, all efforts before would be lost. Why was she so sure that the numbers were all correct?
Even though Michael had tons of questions, he decided to see what was in the USB first.
The USB was very old and the design looked antique. If this USB was really left by Cooper, it would have been hidden for over ten years. More than ten years ago, Mitchell Hi-Tech Group invented the world’s first generation of USB flash drives and even applied for a patent. Nowadays, any manufacturer in the world that produced USBs had to pay Mitchell Hi-Tech Group the patent fee. This USB was definitely the most advanced technology at that time.
It was also developed by Cooper and his team. With one high-tech gadget, he made the Mitchell family rise to the top. Even now, the Mitchell family was still living off of that money. The USB in Michael’s hand was probably one of the first generation USBs in the world but it could still function after being plugged into the laptop.
There was a folder in the drive but it was encrypted. Sophia clicked on the folder. Then, Michael watched as her small hands typed speedily on the keyboard. Not long after, Sophia managed to decrypt the folder and could finally see the treasured information inside.
Seeing this, Michael asked, “How did you decrypt the folder?”
Without turning her head, Sophia replied, “Gemma taught me.”
After hearing this, Michael was speechless.
Gemma was indeed a genius in computers. When Michael adopted Gemma when she was very young, he had discovered her talent in computers so he provided the best materials and conditions to train her.
However, how did she manage to teach Sophia to be an expert in computers under my watch?
Sophia was wearing a pair of big glasses as she looked at the laptop screen intently. “Fortunately, the encryption is an old technology that dates back to more than ten years ago.
There is a code cracking program written by Gemma in my laptop that barely managed to crack the encryption. If the encryption was a little more advanced than this, I’m afraid only Gemma would be able to crack it.”
Hearing this, Michael asked curiously, “How did you know what the thousand-digit password was?”
Sophia replied, “Cooper once composed a piano piece using PI, which happened to have 1,000 notes. It can’t be a coincidence.”
The thousand-digit password turned out to be the number of PI!
Sophia then placed the laptop on the small table on the bed before she leaned against Michael’s chest and clicked on the files in the folder.
“It looks like Cooper’s work diary, which includes video recordings of some top-secret people he had met. Look, every video file has a date record.”
Michael got up, put on his pants, and called Abel. This was the first time he felt excited ever since his search for Cooper started. He had a feeling that a shocking secret was about to be revealed!
Soon, Sophia compressed the files together and sent them to Abel. Then, she curiously clicked open Cooper’s files to see what was recorded in his top-secret video files. As soon as she saw what they were, she was dumbfounded. He met with the president of Moscov… He also met with the leader of the world’s biggest mafia… And the leader of an extremist organization in the Middle East…
