"Ten PM?" Elliot looked at Leo.
Leo nodded. "This time, it's all on you. You have to help me get revenge."
"Exactly! This woman is too hateful. Who knows how many people she's scammed? We have to expose her," Caleb added indignantly.
"Has she scammed many people into giving her tips?" Elliot asked.
"You bet!" Caleb said, tapping his phone and handing it to Elliot. "See for yourself. The top person on her gift leaderboard has already spent over $14,000."
Elliot took the phone and saw the gift leaderboard:
No. 1, Youthful Wind, $22,800
No. 2, Unknown Neighbor, $11,400
No. 3, Old Man Vance, $5,700
…
"Holy crap! She really scammed a lot of money," Elliot exclaimed.
She must be dealt with.
Elliot returned to his seat and took out his laptop from his backpack.
He logged into his email.
The
However, before using it, he needed to test its functions.
With that thought, Elliot downloaded the Trojan to his computer.
He clicked run.
The next second, the
Elliot raised his eyebrows.
The antivirus software installed on his computer was extremely powerful, and very few Trojan programs could escape its detection.
This
Upon closer inspection, its functions were also complete, far more powerful than the Trojans Elliot had written himself.
He would use this one.
"What software is this?" Leo leaned over his shoulder and asked curiously.
"A Trojan," Elliot replied. "To turn off Chloe Belle's beauty filter during her live stream, I need to remotely control her phone. If this Trojan software can be stealthily implanted into her phone, I can control it remotely."
"That's amazing!" Leo's eyes widened in surprise.
Elliot nodded, then asked, "Did you add Chloe Belle on WhatsApp?"
"I did," Leo nodded.
"That makes it easy. Give me your phone."
As he spoke, Elliot took Leo's phone, first copying the
No, it wasn't a cash gift, just a picture.
The Trojan was hidden within the picture.
"What's this for?" Leo asked, puzzled.
"When Chloe Belle sees the picture, she'll definitely think it's a cash gift. As soon as she clicks it, the Trojan program hidden in the picture will silently implant itself into her phone," Elliot explained.
"Now, we just wait for her to open the gift."
No sooner had he spoken than a "ding" sound came from the phone.
Haha, she took the bait.
Chloe Belle opened the picture.
???
Soon, Chloe Belle sent a question mark.
Elliot ignored it, closed WhatsApp, returned the phone to Leo, and then went back to his laptop, typing furiously on the keyboard.
The next second, a phone interface appeared on his computer screen—it was Chloe Belle's phone.
"Look," Elliot said, pointing at the screen.
Leo and Caleb immediately crowded over, and upon seeing the screen, they exclaimed in surprise.
"Holy cow, is that really Chloe Belle's phone?!"
"You've already controlled her phone?!"
Elliot nodded.
"Awesome, Elliot!" Leo gave Elliot a thumbs-up.
"Master, truly a master!" Caleb looked at Elliot with admiration. "So the scenes in movies are real; hackers really can control other people's phones with just a few taps."
"Movies exaggerate a bit; it's not that simple in actual operation," Elliot said with a smile.
He wasn't being modest; it really wasn't that simple.
Ordinary Trojan viruses couldn't escape antivirus software.
Especially now, antivirus software was getting stronger and stronger.
This was a contest of spear and shield.
"Now, we just wait for her to start her live stream tonight."
"Elliot, thank you so much this time!" Leo said gratefully.
"We're brothers, no need for thanks," Elliot said with a chuckle. "You're quite generous when tipping streamers, but I haven't seen you treat your brothers to a meal?"
"Hehe!" Leo scratched his head sheepishly. "I'll treat tonight! Let's go out for a big meal!"
"Really? You said it," Elliot's eyes lit up.
"Of course, it's true. When have I ever gone back on my word?" Leo patted his chest and promised.
"Brother Leo is generous!"
"Let's go now, time to eat."
Chatting and laughing, the three of them went out.
…
The night sky was dotted with stars.
Inside the rented room, Elliot, Leo, and Caleb sat around a laptop, waiting for Chloe Belle's live stream to begin.
The pointer slowly moved towards ten o'clock, and finally, the live stream window showed an image.
"She's live," Leo perked up.
"Hello, my family, I'm your beloved Princess Chloe Belle. Did you miss me?" Chloe Belle's sweet voice, accompanied by cheerful music, floated out from the live stream.
On the screen, she smiled charmingly, her eyes captivating, with exquisite makeup and perfectly balanced lighting, making it impossible to spot any flaws.
If Elliot hadn't known the inside story, he wouldn't have noticed either. The current beauty filter technology was truly advanced, making it hard to distinguish between real and fake. No wonder Leo and Caleb were deceived.
[Little Brother No. 2 tipped the streamer with flowers ×6666]
[Senior Lin tipped the streamer with flowers ×9999]
[Painted Face Cat tipped the streamer with hearts ×666]
[Handsome Guy Arrives tipped the streamer with flowers ×1314]
…
In the live stream, gift effects appeared one after another, and dozens of bullet comments scrolled by, all filled with enthusiastic tips from fans.
"Does she usually get so many tips when she goes live?" Elliot asked in surprise.
Leo nodded.
"It's too easy for streamers to make money!" Elliot exclaimed.
A beautiful face, in this era, was money.
[@Princess Chloe Belle, you're a liar!]
[Everyone, don't believe her, she's a liar!]
[Chloe Belle herself is incredibly ugly!]
Suddenly, a few discordant voices appeared in the comment section.
Elliot looked back at Leo, who was typing furiously on his phone. Without asking, he knew these comments must have come from him.
"I couldn't help it, I had to curse her out a bit to vent," Leo grumbled.
[Everyone, don't fall for it, Chloe Belle is an ugly woman, she's using a beauty filter now.]
[I've seen her in person, she's incredibly ugly!]
[Everyone, don't be fooled!]
Leo sent multiple comments in a row, wanting to expose Chloe Belle's true face.
Chloe Belle clearly saw these comments, but she pretended not to, still chatting and laughing with her fans in the live stream.
This was also what a smart person would do, or rather, she was already accustomed to this situation. Netizens often questioned her in the live stream; as long as she ignored them, her loyal fans would naturally speak up for her.
