Chapter 270

Tessa wanted to follow them out, but Timothy was afraid of any possible accident. Hearing the noise, he knew that the visitor surely had ill intentions. Therefore, he could not let Tessa get hurt. “It’s fine.

Just stay in here.”

At this moment, the person outside was still shouting. Upon hearing the constant shouting, she frowned. “It’s fine. I’ll go out with you guys. It’ll be fine. If you keep delaying, the person might really start causing trouble.”

Since he was powerless against Tessa, Timothy could only let her go out with them.

And thus, the three of them appeared in the staff office area together. The big man turned his head as if he could sense their presence. “Are you three the bosses here?”

Timothy answered in a deep voice, “What are you guys trying to do here? Why are you looking for the boss?”

The man responded, “Your previous project was substandard. So, I’m here to ask for compensation on behalf of my boss. Don’t you know how important reputation is to a small company like yours? How can you guys irresponsibly develop such minor software? It’s no wonder the company is such a small one.”

As soon as Henry heard this, he immediately burst into anger. “What are you talking about?! Don’t you know anything about the art of speaking? If it’s the problem about the project, you should just say that there’s a problem with the project. Stop your personal attacks!”

“Are you saying I’m not good with my words? Why don’t you see for yourself? Go ahead and see whether there’s any problem with the software you guys had developed,” the strong man sneered and threw the thing on the table.

Henry suppressed his massive anger. Just as he was about to lash out, Tessa had stopped him. “Don’t rush. Let’s take a look first. Then, we’ll talk about it.”

Upon hearing that, only then did Henry sit down indignantly.

Later, Timothy calmly took the USB flash drive and plugged it in. Then, he clicked open the software.

After a while, a very obvious bug appeared in the software.

Timothy and Henry looked at each other. They could still recall that this software was indeed developed by their company and they had just given it to the first party a couple of days ago This software was a small and simple application. It only took the company two days to complete the order from the receipt to its delivery. Even so, both of them had checked repeatedly. Hence, they were very sure that there was no problem with the software at that time.

In a flash, Timothy quickly found the bug with the swiftness of his fingers. Then, he fixed the bug again.

However, other problems instantly appeared again and continuously popped up.

Then, he tried other methods again as he wanted to find the source of the problem all at once.

“How’s it going?” Henry asked, feeling anxious.

However, Timothy shook his head. “This is a very complicated virus. I’ve seen it on the Internet a while ago, but no one has been able to crack it yet. They still can’t find the precise details of the problem.”

“These software bugs, they are linked one by one. It is as if there’s no end to it. No matter how many times we’ve solved it, they will still appear in the future.”

After Timothy finished speaking, the face of one of the employees in the Research & Development Department turned pale in fright. “B-Boss, it wasn’t me. I didn’t do this. It really wasn’t me. There were no such problems when I developed it.”

“It’s fine. I know it’s not your doing.”

After giving the employee a pat on his shoulder, Timothy looked at the strong man again. “Sir, this software was indeed developed by our company. However, the problem isn’t the software itself. Rather, it has been tampered with by others,”

Before Timothy could finish, the strong man directly interrupted him. “I don’t want to listen to your nonsense. Anyhow, it’s the problem with the software. You also admitted it yourself. I won’t make things difficult for you guys either. I have called the police while I was on my way here earlier. The police will be here in a while.”

Upon hearing that, Timothy could not help frowning. “Although I don’t know much about Information Technology, I just mentioned that someone had maliciously tampered with the software. Isn’t now the time for us to find a solution? It’s still not too late to find out the mastermind, isn’t it? Why must you make hasty conclusions?”

The strong man sneered, “It’s no use telling me these. Our boss said that if it requires the lawmaker to solve the issue, then we shall bring this matter to the police station. At worst, we don’t want to use this software anymore, but we still have to talk about compensation.”

“You! Don’t you understand human language?! We have already told you that we should find the problem and solve it at its core. Besides, you shouldn’t be asking our side for compensation. There’s no defects with the software when it was given to your company. Why are you guys only coming over and making a fuss after two days? Who knows if any of you have done anything to the software in between the two days? Are you trying to extort money?”
