SRGA Chapter 80:
Lin Tian and Luo Bingning entered the house.
Yang Li came out of the kitchen with a smile, "Xin'er, Bingning used to visit our house when she was young. She's a talented student from Peking University."
"Xiao Lin, Bingning, please have a seat for a moment. Dinner will be ready soon. Xin'er's dad should be back in about five minutes."
Luo Bingning quickly responded, "Okay, Aunt Yang."
"Tian Ge, why do you call Xin Jie 'Instructor'?" Sitting down, Luo Bingning asked with some confusion.
Lin Tian chuckled, "Remember the video call I had with you? She's the beautiful woman who was driving. She taught me shooting for three hours."
"Instructor, this is my girlfriend, Luo Bingning."
Tan Xin and Luo Bingning shook hands, and Tan Xin smiled, "Bingning, before you arrived, my mom mentioned that you used to visit our house when you were young. We even took a photo together back then."
"That's quite a coincidence," Luo Bingning smiled.
Lin Tian chuckled, wondering if it was just a coincidence.
At first, he thought so, but upon careful consideration, it was probably deliberately arranged by Yang Zhiheng. After all, there were more than just Tan Xin in the military with excellent shooting skills.
Besides, Yang Zhiheng, the general, knew about his girlfriend as well.
This arrangement by Yang Zhiheng was probably to facilitate his acquaintance with the Tan family, which would benefit both him and the Tan family.
In S City, Tan Zhengguo was a big shot in the police system. Getting to know him would definitely be advantageous.
His outstanding medical skills would also be beneficial to Tan Zhengguo.
Initially, it was just individual connections, but as they accumulated, they formed a network, and a powerful network had astonishing capabilities.
Many things that ordinary people might struggle to accomplish could be easily resolved with a strong network of contacts.
"Tian, since you're Bingning's boyfriend, why aren't you in the military?" Tan Xin asked, puzzled.
Lin Tian's shooting talent was extremely strong, and she had thought he was a promising recruit discovered by higher-ups who would surely join the army after confirming his shooting talent.
"I'm not."
"I'm just an ordinary civilian," Lin Tian shook his head.
Tan Xin lamented, "That's a pity. With your shooting talent, you could have become a top marksman with some training."
Luo Bingning looked surprised, "Xin Jie, does Tian Ge have strong shooting talent?"
Tan Xin nodded.
"Very strong, much better than me."
"He practiced for only three hours, and his pistol skills are no weaker than mine, his rifle skills are even better, and his sniper rifle skills are only slightly inferior to mine."
Luo Bingning glanced at Lin Tian.
She discovered another great advantage of Lin Tian's.
However, this shooting talent probably wouldn't come in handy under normal circumstances, and she also hoped that Lin Tian wouldn't have to use this talent in the future.
"Ding dong—"
The doorbell rang, and Tan Xin hurried to answer it.
"Dad, Uncle Tang."
Tan Xin shouted as there were two people outside the door, and Tang Pengyuan knew Lin Tian and they were having dinner here, so he also came along.
"Tan Bureau, Uncle Tang."
"Tan Shu, Uncle Tang."
Lin Tian and Luo Bingning also stood up and greeted.
Tan Zhengguo shook his head, "Xiao Lin, you shouldn't call Old Tang 'Uncle Tang.' Calling me 'Tan Bureau' makes it seem formal."
"You can call me 'Uncle Tan' like Bingning."
Lin Tian nodded, "Uncle Tan."
Tan Zhengguo smiled and said, "That's more like it. Later, let's have a few drinks together. Old Tang, you can have a couple more bowls of rice."
Tang Pengyuan was somewhat helpless, as his injuries hadn't fully healed yet.
"Old Tan, let's tidy up and start eating. Xin'er, come and serve the food."
Yang Li smiled.
Soon, dishes were brought out from the kitchen one after another.
As they sat down, Tang Pengyuan raised his tea cup, "Xiao Lin, I'll use tea instead of wine to thank you for saving my life."
"In a few days, when I'm fully recovered, I'll drink with you."
Lin Tian quickly raised his wine glass, "Uncle Tang, you're too kind. It was just a small effort. We're all family."
Tang Pengyuan laughed, "Xiao Lin, you said it yourself, we're all family. If you need help with anything, don't hesitate to ask me or Old Tan."
"Uncle Tang, that won't be necessary."
"I'm thick-skinned," Lin Tian chuckled.
Tang Pengyuan took a sip of tea, while Lin Tian finished a glass of wine.
Tan Zhengguo chuckled, "Xiao Lin, you're too honest. He's having tea, and you're downing a full glass of wine with him."
"You don't need to drink with him. Let's just drink together."
Lin Tian nodded.
Tan Xin smiled at Luo Bingning, "Bingning, my dad has some good red wine. How about you and I have a little bit?"
"Sure."
The meal was filled with joy and laughter.
Lin Tian drank a jin of white wine without any issues, Tan Zhengguo became somewhat tipsy, and both Luo Bingning and Tan Xin also felt a bit light-headed.
"Ring, ring!"
Tan Xin's phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Tan Xin, I know you're on vacation. But there's an urgent task. One of our servers is under a strong attack."
"You need to provide support immediately."
On the other end of the phone, Tan Xin's superior urgently said.
Tan Xin was a bit dumbfounded. She had just drunk quite a bit of alcohol, and her tolerance was average. How could she provide support now?
"Boss, I'm afraid that won't be possible."
"I've had quite a bit to drink at home, and I'm not in a good state right now. I'm afraid I might mess things up."
Tan Xin quickly said, "You go first, I'll find someone else."
Lin Tian pondered, a cyber attack?
Nowadays, several major powers all have their own cyber warfare capabilities. They may not engage in hot wars, but in cyberspace, these major powers likely clash on a daily basis.
"Uncle Tan, Aunt Yang, we'll head back first."
Lin Tian and Luo Bingning bid farewell and left.
"Yanzi."
As they reached downstairs, they saw Tang Yan. She reached out and said, "Lin Tian, give me the car keys."
"Uncle asked me to come over as you all were drinking. He wanted me to be the designated driver."
Lin Tian handed the car keys to Tang Yan. "Bingning, you go home first. I have some other matters to attend to. I'll be back later."
Ten minutes later, Lin Tian arrived at a nearby internet cafe.
Having just acquired his hacking skills not long ago, Lin Tian's curiosity in this area was now piqued, and he wanted to test his skills.
As his hands touched the keyboard, Lin Tian felt every cell in his body cheering with excitement.
A flood of information surged into his mind.
"I am the king of the cyber realm!"
Lin Tian muttered to himself, a strange sense of confidence rising within him.
"Tap, tap, tap."
Lin Tian quickly tapped on the keyboard. He knew Tan Xin's home address, and soon he discovered traces of Tan Xin's activities on the internet.
Following the traces left by Tan Xin, Lin Tian soon arrived at a battleground.
This was a battlefield without gun smoke.
There was only an endless stream of data.
Some data crashed like raging floods.
Some were like spies, infiltrating through various methods.
Some were like assassins, killing invisibly.
"Interesting."
Lin Tian's eyes gleamed.
Having attained the skills of a grandmaster hacker, he could understand all these methods, which made them even more intriguing in his eyes.
As Lin Tian observed, his skills quickly fully integrated.
"Tan Xin and the others are in trouble."
Lin Tian thought to himself.
Tan Xin's side was indeed powerful, but the enemy was even more prepared and had stronger forces.
"Let's lend them a hand."
Lin Tian quickly took action.
Tan Xin and her team were part of the Chinese military. If the military's servers were breached, it could lead to the theft of important secrets.
