Resurrecting the Genius Within
Chapter 337 Recruitment 1
This girl was really something.
And quite a pain to deal with!
Finished
The middle–aged man said. “Well then, come along with us. We’ll need to take your laptop and phone too.”
Isabelle glanced at the two men, staying silent, but a touch of impatience and coldness slowly crept into her expression. She locked eyes with the middle–aged man.
The tension suddenly spiked, and Chase looked somewhat anxious.
Finally, Isabelle spoke up. The 509 Supervision Bureau, huh? Your department’s big boss is Douglas Stanton, right?”
The two men were taken aback. Not only did she know about their department, but she also dropped the name of their boss.
The two men’s gazes darkened as they cautiously asked, “How did you know?” Is she really just a student?
Isabelle grabbed the phone nearby, seeming like she was going to make a call.
But who should I call? Isabelle hesitated, running through a mental list of names.
The trio, along with Joshua, all stared at Isabelle, lost in thought as she pondered over the phone.
Unsure of what she was holding back, eventually she set the phone down.
She said, “I’ll get the internet back up tonight at six”
She finally came clean.
As the middle–aged man felt utterly amazed inside, he flatly declined, “There’s no bargaining here. We can’t handle the losses and panic this would cause.
Isabelle’s tone stayed cool but carried a strong sense of control. Tnnot asking for your opinion. If you don’t agree, I can leave with you now. In ten days or so, if you can prove it was me, I’ll let you deal with it however you want. But if you can’t, how long the network stays down is up to you.”
To boldly threaten the 509 Supervision Bureau and the whole country, there was no one else but her who dared to do so,
After sizing up Isabelle’s confident demeanour, the middle–aged man paused for a moment before stepping out to make a call.
Hearing that there was no progress on the network shutdown issue, he called the minister’s number.
Before he could speak, the minister asked about the progress and mentioned, “George called me.”
A few minutes later, the middle–aged man returned and glanced at Isabelle.
Then he turned to his colleague–the younger man–and said, “Let’s get going.”

Chapter 337 Recruitment 1
Unable to hold himself, Chase asked, “Do you know the head of the 509 Supervision Bureau?”
Isabelle responded, “I don’t know.”
Chase, Really?
Finished
Someone will definitely be sent to keep an eye on you until this network issue is resolved. I’ll stay here with you today, Chase said, finding a place to sit down.
For a day and a night, netizens, who usually couldn’t part with their phones, could only watch that one video and maybe make a phone call.
In this era of smartphone addiction, everyone was glued to their phones, flipping through them only to watch that one video. Even regular TV channels were airing the same video.
It was sickening.
Those who hadn’t caught the full surveillance video or pretended not to see it were now pinned down by Isabelle, forced to watch it crystal clear.
Nobody dared to accuse Isabelle of bullying the weak or causing the car owner’s death.
Isabelle’s move sent shockwaves across the nation, grabbing international attention and sparking chaos in the hacker world.
But George provided her with solid protection.
Even students at Taragon University thought it was George’s doing.
Finally, at six in the evening.
All media platforms and social apps were back to normal.
But there wasn’t a single peep about the incident online–no news, no reports, good or bad.
It was like it never even went down. Nobody could find a trace of it anywhere.
Major platforms temporarily shut down some features.
The internet trolls finally shut up, nowhere to vent, too scared to cause trouble again.
The next day, Isabelle strolled into school like nothing had happened.
Her classmates showered her with concern and support.
However, Joshua was nowhere to be seen in class.
George returned from his business trip after more than a week.
As soon as he landed, he called Isabelle and headed straight to her place.
He had messaged her before boarding the plane, making plans to have dinner together that night.
