Ex-wife becomes the world's number one hacker

Gu Jiangyin stood outside the door, pressing her head against it, and her voice became much clearer.

She vaguely heard her parents say that they had contacted the other party today, but the woman was very agitated and refused to change partners or let them have any contact with the child.

Then there's Shen Lan's complaint, complaining that the other party is unreasonable—why won't she be allowed to see her own daughter? She'll definitely stick to it to the end, and so on.

Gu Jiangyin didn't want to eavesdrop for too long, but what she heard was enough.

She quickly turned around and tiptoed upstairs.

Gu Jiangyin's personality is very similar to her grandmother's; she is naturally open-minded.

Once you've mentally prepared yourself, your mindset will stabilize.

Having prepared for the worst, she studied and slept normally at night and went to school as usual during the day.

In fact, besides the escape route she had already planned, she had another path to take.

That path, however, was one she had never truly considered as an option before.

.......

When Gu Jiangyin had just entered her first year of high school, good news came from the school.

Because of her outstanding performance in various domestic and international programming competitions during her primary and junior high school years, she was included in the National Youth Innovation Talent Pool.

In the following two summers, he was invited to participate in summer camp activities organized by the Youth Talent Cultivation Foundation and Xijing University.

During the event, her programming talent was fully displayed, often leaving the experts invited by the summer camp organizers in awe.

During a summer camp competition, experts presented a virtual security system that they claimed was "impenetrable".

While other contestants struggled to navigate the maze, Gu Jiangyin seemed to be holding a map unknown to anyone else.

Instead of forcibly breaking through, she bypassed all defense mechanisms in an almost artistic way, reaching the core directly.

Two hours later, when the system administrator's privileges quietly changed hands, the atmosphere in the monitoring room shifted from relaxed to shocked silence.

Later, an expert who had initially been very confident in the system sighed to his colleague:

"Old Wang, we might have all made a mistake... The most terrifying thing about this girl isn't her ability to 'deconstruct' the system, but that she can see through the underlying logic of how we 'built' the system at a glance. This kind of disruptive creative thinking can't be taught; she's a promising candidate for top-tier hacking."

After he finished speaking, he took the lead in raising his hands and clapping solemnly and forcefully.

The silent monitoring room was suddenly filled with enthusiastic applause...

.......

Before the start of the recent winter break for senior high school students, Gu Jiangyin met Yu Haiquan, one of the organizers of the summer camp, in the school's reception room.

Everyone calls him Director Yu because his official position is the Deputy Director of the Academic Affairs Office of Xijing University.

In stark contrast to his amiable demeanor during the summer camp, Director Yu appeared more serious and candid during this meeting.

Director Yu first introduced his other identity: the director of a classified agency of a state-owned research institution.

What Director Yu said next was undoubtedly a bombshell for Gu Jiangyin.

He clearly told her that the country recognized her talent and abilities and had been learning about her for a long time. They now planned to formally recruit her to study and work in a classified research institution.

Director Yu frankly stated, "By studying and working in such an institution, you can obtain almost unlimited budget support and mobilize national-level resources. You can also access cutting-edge technologies from around the world that have not yet been made public."

Indeed, Gu Jiangyin knew that this was one of the most coveted and unspoken temples among the world's top scientific geniuses.

This would not only fulfill her dream of becoming a scientist, but also give her the opportunity to become a "strategic scientist" with greater responsibility and challenges.

That's so cool!

But what Director Yu said next calmed her down and left her conflicted.

Director Yu looked intently at her and said:

"Choosing this path means giving up the freedom, fame, and fortune of an ordinary person, and even saying goodbye to your past life. There will be many hardships, constraints, and even dangers in the future. Xiao Gu, you need to think it through carefully."

"If that's acceptable, then you can fill in Xijing University in your college application, because all the researchers recruited like you follow the joint training path between the institution and Xijing University."

Seeing her hesitation, Director Yu clearly told her:

"You have the right to refuse. If you choose to refuse, you only need to sign a confidentiality agreement. But I hope you will consider it carefully. You have plenty of time to weigh your options between now and before you fill out your college application. It's never too late to contact me during this period."

Finally, Director Yu solemnly instructed her, "Also, don't tell anyone about our conversation today, including your parents, okay?"

Gu Jiangyin nodded heavily.

What made her hesitate was not her fear of hardship and danger, but a deep-seated obsession.

.......

Ding Meiyu was diagnosed with depression and anxiety, and her condition rapidly deteriorated to a severe state because Shen Lan kept coming to her to argue about exchanging the child.

She cried all day and couldn't sleep at night, and she quickly became haggard.

Chen Mo prescribed her a lot of related medications and instructed Lin Rongsen to arrange for someone to watch over Ding Meiyu to prevent her from committing suicide, as she was already showing such a tendency.

Ding Meiyu's biggest wish right now is not to affect Lin Xiyue's college entrance examination.

Fortunately, because she was facing the college entrance examination, Lin Xiyue didn't spend much time at home each day.

I don't get back from evening self-study until 9 or 10 pm. After that, I go back to my room and continue studying until late at night. Then I get up at 6 am to go to school.

Although it was very difficult to endure, Ding Meiyu still insisted on pretending to be normal in front of Lin Xiyue.

It's also possible that Lin Xiyue was so focused on her studies that she didn't notice anything amiss.

Lin Rongsen took his work home and also assigned some of his outings to his subordinates.

He stays with his wife around the clock; he doesn't trust anyone else.

His ex-wife committed suicide, and now his current wife is also attempting suicide...

He really didn't know how to face this society; the gossip and rumors could drown him.

At the same time, he also asked Chen Mo to tell Shen Lan: Don't provoke Ding Meiyu anymore, otherwise everything is off the table, and we'll talk about everything after the college entrance examination.

Nothing happened for the next few days.

Shen Lan also seemed to have calmed down considerably.

Gu Jiangyin had encountered Shen Lan a few times, but each time she only exchanged brief greetings, while Shen Lan consistently avoided eye contact with her.

Gu Tingfeng's explanation is:

"Your mom hasn't fully processed this yet, and she's a little unsure how to face you. Give her some time, okay?"

Gu Jiangyin nodded without saying anything.

The last Sunday before the college entrance exam is a day for rest.

Gu Jiangyin had been working on practice papers since early morning to improve her writing skills.

It was almost noon, and I was getting a little tired.

I went downstairs to the kitchen refrigerator to get a drink and relax my mind.

As soon as I walked into the living room with my drink, I saw my brother Gu Liqi leading his girlfriend, either Li Xinxin or Yang Xinxin, into the house through the front door.

It wasn't that she didn't care about her brother; the reason she couldn't even remember his girlfriend's name was simply because Gu Liqi changed girlfriends too quickly.

Before she could even remember the old one, she had already replaced it with two new ones.

Moreover, Gu Liqi did not live in the old house. After Gu Tingfeng and Shen Lan moved to the old house, he continued to stay in his original residence and did not move with them.

Gu Liqi is 25 years old this year and has already graduated from university.

Her brother had terrible grades and barely managed to get into a private university.

It was obtained by Gu Tingfeng through a large sponsorship fee.

He blamed everything on his younger sister, Gu Jiangyin.

It's all because Mom was about to give birth to his sister and couldn't take care of him, that he got a fever and became mentally impaired. It's all his sister's fault.

He's now learning how to do business from his dad. I don't know how well he's doing, but he's certainly learned a lot about eating, drinking, and having fun.

Whenever Gu Liqi neglects his duties or gets into trouble, Gu Tingfeng only needs to criticize and discipline him, but Shen Lan always steps in to protect her son and make excuses for him in every way.

That's why, whenever Gu Liqi gets into trouble, all he has to do is cling to Shen Lan's arm and act cute, and everything will be fine.

Gu Tingfeng would always tell Shen Lan, "You're harming him. If you don't take care of him now, society will take care of him later."

Shen Lan retorted, "I only have one son. If I don't spoil him, who will?"

Gu Liqi and Gu Jiangyin were on opposing sides since childhood, and with his mother's protection, he never took his younger sister seriously.

Furthermore, since they had never truly lived together, their sibling relationship was worse than that of ordinary strangers.

But precisely because they don't live together most of the time, they can barely manage to live in peace.

This was the first time Gu Jiangyin had seen Gu Liqi since that incident. Gu Liqi glanced at her, said nothing, and went upstairs.

Li Xinxin, instead of Yang Xinxin, glanced at her and exclaimed in surprise:

"Huh? What are you still doing here? Why haven't you left yet?"

Gu Liqi glanced back at her and said, "Speak less." Then he went upstairs.

Xin Xin hurriedly followed up: "Did I say something wrong? Isn't she no longer your family? After she leaves, you can move into her room. That room is big and nice, much better than yours."

Gu Jiangyin stood rooted to the spot, staring silently at the drink in her hand for a long time.

On Monday, the driver took Gu Jiangyin to school.

Parking is not allowed at the school gate; cars can only be parked on the side of the road, and people have to walk to the gate.

She got out of the car, tidied her backpack, and was about to walk onto the sidewalk when she caught sight of a heavy SUV speeding towards her in the distance...
