A Beijing socialite stole my boyfriend; she went crazy after I got married.

Less than twenty minutes.

The sharp sound of police sirens grew louder as they approached, shattering the tranquility of the old commercial and residential building.

Several criminal investigators from the local police station and officers from the city's cyber security branch rushed into the scene.

Upon entering the room, seeing the mess and blood everywhere, and Qian Wei who had been beaten beyond recognition, the police officer in charge immediately frowned.

"What happened? Who called the police? Who did it?"

Zhou Dahai raised his hands in perfect compliance, his face no longer showing the violence from before, but instead filled with grievance.

"Comrade, I'm the one who called the police—"

"I," one of the thugs immediately said in a gruff voice, "I led the beating. I confess, and I will cooperate with all your investigations."

Zhou Dahai pointed at Qian Wei on the ground and said through gritted teeth:

"Our company almost went bankrupt six months ago because of this corporate espionage suspect involved in cybercrime. Their core business was leaked, and hundreds of employees nearly lost their jobs! So many people have families to support! This bastard ruined everything!"

The thug nodded. "We've been looking for him for six months, and we finally caught him today. We're willing to take responsibility for intentional assault, but I request that the police immediately seize all his tools of the crime. This house is full of evidence!"

The police officer glanced at Zhou Dahai, then at Qian Wei on the ground.

"Take him away first, and go to the hospital for a medical examination to assess his injuries."

Several technical police officers from the cyber security branch stepped forward to prepare to seal off the computer mainframes and servers at the scene.

One of the senior technical police officers suddenly looked at the monitor.

On that screen was an extremely complex terminal interface.

The red warning text at the top of the screen is still flashing.

—The bypass of the urban traffic control and monitoring network has been successfully implemented.

In the very center of the interface, the real-time footage from cameras on several key main roads is clearly displayed.

And a close-up photo of a black Aston Martin Lagonda caught in traffic.

The police officer's face instantly turned extremely grim. "Boss! Come and look at this!"

The team leader, a criminal police captain, strode over and looked at the screen as his subordinate pointed.

"...This is not just about commercial espionage."

The technical police officer took a deep breath, his voice stern:

"He brazenly hacked into the government's network!"

"No!"

Qian Wei shook his head frantically, trying to explain himself.

"No...no, I was just checking a car...I didn't tamper with the system..."

The police captain's face was ashen.

"Take him away! Immediately notify the Cyber ​​Security Team to seal off the area and cut off all network signals in this building! He is not allowed to touch any equipment!"

Because of the sudden attack and violent breach, Qian Wei had no time to destroy all the data.

The entire crime scene, all servers, and local hard drives, many of which were unlocked and activated, were taken over by the police.

Several technical officers immediately put on gloves and began collecting electronic data at the scene.

"A large database of illegally obtained personal information of citizens was discovered, with the number of records estimated to be over ten million."

"Multiple unexplained overseas fund transfers were discovered, suspected of money laundering."

"Wait, there are tons of request logs and chat logs here!"

-

Inside the villa on Yunxiang Road.

Before we knew it, it was noon.

When Jiang Chu finished showering and changing clothes, lunch was already prepared when she went downstairs.

Xie Jing also came down from the second floor.

He changed into a high-quality dark brown shirt and casual trousers. Although there was still a hint of fatigue between his brows, he looked noticeably more refreshed.

"Are you done with your work?" Jiang Chu pulled out a chair and sat down. "Did they compromise over there?"

"Yes, an unconditional exemption treaty was signed."

Xie Jing sat down opposite her, took a sip of water, and said in a low, hoarse voice, "Frankfurt couldn't withstand the pressure of selling off its positions and made concessions at nine o'clock. I just caught up on some sleep too."

Jiang Chu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled as she placed a piece of tender steamed fish belly into his bowl: "That's good, eat quickly and replenish your brain cells."

After finishing his meal, Xie Jing seemed to remember something, and he casually pulled a small black velvet card holder without any markings from his pocket.

With a gentle push of his long, slender fingers, the man slid the object to Jiang Chu's side.

"What is this?"

Jiang Chu opened it out of curiosity.

Inside lay a card, entirely black, with a cold, hard metallic sheen.

The card has no fancy patterns, only a minimalist chip and a line of gold-stamped embossed number. It feels heavy in the hand and has an excellent texture.

"This is an American Express Centurion Black Card supplementary card."

Xie Jing picked up a napkin and elegantly wiped the corner of her mouth, her tone as calm as if she were introducing an ordinary supermarket membership card.

"This card is directly linked to my main account at a private bank in Zurich. It waives all credit limit restrictions, and I've already had the risk control team hedge the underlying asset pool."

"?"

"Any large expense you make will be automatically triggered and settled through a dedicated trust channel of the family office."

Seeing Jiang Chu's slightly dazed expression, he patiently added:

"Simply put, using this card will not trigger any abnormal foreign exchange warnings from domestic tax and customs authorities, nor will it require you to make any cumbersome fund declarations. You can use it at any top auction house in the world, for high-end private customization, or even to buy a house or a car, all you need to do is enter your PIN and sign."

Xie Jing picked up his coffee again, took a sip, and casually uttered three words:

Spend it however you like.
