Chapter 1527: Chapter 1521: Relentless Unknown Calls (Part 1)
This phone call!
Strange!
Don’t know it, and it’s from abroad? It’s showing the Maldives?
Have scam calls become so high-end these days?
Do scammers have enough money to travel to the Maldives?
This is just a joke; addresses can be altered using a computer now.
Actually, the scammer is definitely still in the country.
Lin Xi hung up without hesitation.
Zhu Ying curiously asked, "What call was that?"
She rarely sees Lin Xi’s phone ring.
In other words, almost no one uses the phone to contact him.
If someone does contact him, it’s probably something important.
Lin Xi said, "Just a scammer."
Zhu Ying didn’t ask further since Lin Xi hung up immediately.
She also had a hunch that it was a scammer.
However, after Lin Xi hung up, his phone rang again.
Lin Xi frowned, picked up the phone to check.
That damn scammer?
Are they relentless?
Immediately, he hung up once more.
Zhu Ying didn’t pay much attention.
Logically, after two missed calls, a scammer should give up.
That’s a conclusion drawn from years of experience.
Yet, Lin Xi’s phone rang again.
Seeing Lin Xi about to hang up once more, Zhu Ying stopped him and said, "Maldives?"
"Do you have anyone you know over there?"
Lin Xi shook his head, indicating it’s nothing.
He explained that his phone number is only known to his saved contacts; no one else knows it.
Which means many of his previous acquaintances or current contacts aren’t aware of this number.
So, it definitely must be a scammer.
But this particular scammer?
So persistent!
It took Lin Xi by surprise.
Normally, after one, at most two phone calls, scammers stop calling.
Now?
Three in a row!
A bit strange.
Nonetheless, he hung up again.
If it’s not a scammer, can’t you send a message explaining who you are?
Then the fourth time it rang, Lin Xi hung up again.
And casually, he put the number into the blacklist.
Meaning calls from that number are banned from coming through again.
Like this?
There shouldn’t be any way left!
If it’s really someone he knows, they should send a text explaining the situation.
With one text, it would be obvious whether it’s an acquaintance.
Not far behind, Lin Hao was indeed a bit surprised.
Even if it’s a scam number.
Answer it, hang up, it doesn’t really matter, or it doesn’t waste much time, right?
Besides, doing that, the other side probably won’t call again.
This saves a lot of trouble.
Moreover, you don’t have to pay for the call.
And for someone like him, does he care about phone charges?
Yet, he didn’t say much about Lin Xi doing this.
Every expert has their own unique habits.
For instance, one ancestor in his family especially loves duck tail][’; fat.
At least four or five per meal.
Needs it every meal.
Fortunately, the Lin family has money, otherwise, they’d eat themselves into poverty.
Of course, just kidding.
In this era, which family can’t afford duck tail][’; fat?
Every meal, so what.
Initially, it greatly affected the ancestor’s reputation.
Gradually, it wasn’t anything novel.
This time, Lin Xi and Zhu Ying walked about three, four steps.
The phone didn’t ring again.
No notification of a text message.
"No way now!" Lin Xi smiled.
If he could trace the signal to hit someone, he’d have beaten these scammers to death long ago.
Disturbing the peace!
Do you know!
Moreover, do you know who you’re bothering?
That’s the world’s number one strongest person!
Yeah, that kind of low-key yet profound number one strongest.
Even if he beats you to death, there won’t be any punishment.
What a pity!
Can’t trace the signal to hit someone.
Otherwise, he could rid society of harm.
Of course, he could call someone to track the signal address.
Then to hit someone.
But that’s too troublesome.
Totally unnecessary, or it’s just wasting energy.
"Hmm?" Lin Xi and Zhu Ying stopped together.
Because, Lin Xi’s phone started vibrating again.
Another call?
He picked it up to check.
"Hmm?"
"What’s going on?"
It’s that same number from the Maldives.
Wasn’t it just blacklisted?
How can it get through?
Have scammers’ cutting-edge techniques reached this level now?
Even able to remotely hack his phone.
He’s using an Apple, after all.
Claimed to be the most secure system.
Of course, that’s just a claim.
Security is also relative.
For example, a few years ago, Apple changing its system and monitoring users caused a huge uproar.
"Haha!" Lin Xi sneered slightly, "Even if you’re an acquaintance, no text?"
"Alright!"
"I’m shutting it off directly, let’s see how you hack!"
He also knew.
This number definitely wasn’t one of those women’s numbers.
Those women, each of their numbers is saved.
Besides, this call is from the Maldives, hardly related to him.
Or maybe a bit related.
But the connection is certainly minor.
Moreover, if it’s that urgent, why not send a text?
With all those calls, they could’ve sent many texts.
After powering off, Lin Xi and Zhu Ying stood still.
Lin Hao not far behind also noticed.
He also didn’t move.
Waited about ten seconds, phone still no reaction, Lin Xi smiled, "Thought you had heaven-defying skills!"
"Just so!"
If it could turn on remotely, that’d be really terrifying.
Just when the three were prepared to leave the issue and continue walking.
Lin Xi stopped again.
The phone?
Turned on automatically!
Holding it, he could feel the slight vibration of it powering on.
Zhu Ying had a face full of curiosity.
Lin Hao was the same.
Has that scammer locked horns with Lin Xi?
If he doesn’t answer, today won’t end.
And definitely a top-tier scammer with cutting-edge hacking technology.
Moreover, what’s impressive is the booting speed was a lot faster than before.
That?
Really impressive!
Lin Xi’s expression turned strange.
At this moment, he really wanted to hit someone.
Away from the signal.
"Old Fourth Cui Hua, computer skills are formidable, but not to this extent!" Lin Xi thought inwardly.
At this level, probably already one of the world’s top hackers.
After booting completed.
Phone rang again.
Still that previous number from the Maldives.
Lin Xi was convinced.
So persistent?
Next moment, he picked up, without waiting for the scammer to speak, he said first, "If you call again, you’re dead!"
"Even if you’re in some corner, I will find you and let you feel what living hell truly means!"
"Also, don’t worry about me not finding you!"
"I promise, finding you won’t be difficult!"
He used to hang around chaotic areas for so long, has a few buddies.
Among them, one girl who’s hacking skills are world-class.
