Ex-wife becomes the world's number one hacker

"How so?" Jiang Yin looked up at Tang Ning.

"Qin Heming acquired the chip company at a bargain price, we got the money to acquire Bihai, Lin Xiyue lost Xingxin Technology, and she still has to be grateful to Qin Heming for the acquisition." Tang Ning put down his coffee cup and counted on his fingers as he spoke.

Jiang Yin scoffed: "Of course they should be grateful. If Xingxin had gone down the path of bankruptcy liquidation, it would have been a mess for three to five years, with inquiries from the China Securities Regulatory Commission, fines, liquidation procedures... a whole host of troubles. The fact that it has been acquired is already a stroke of luck amidst misfortune."

She paused, then said, "On the other hand, the liquidation process is too long, which is also detrimental to the spark."

Tang Ning clicked her tongue: "You didn't understand what I meant."

Jiang Yin raised an eyebrow: "Are you saying that Qin Heming and we both benefited, while Lin suffered heavy losses, so Qin wasn't good to Lin? Is that right?"

"But that's the conclusion we're looking for," Tang Ning muttered softly.

"What are you thinking? You know how much he cares about her. I was just thinking about this too. Knowing his personality, he'll definitely make it up to her. Just wait and see," Jiang Yin said confidently.

Tang Ning still had a furrowed brow:

"Okay, let's leave that aside for now. Just look at the whole short-selling process. Don't you think it's too coincidental? How did we get the evidence of financial fraud? How did he disappear? How did he come back and acquire the company at the perfect time? Everything is so perfectly coordinated, like a giant hand is manipulating a chessboard, and we are just pieces on that board."

Jiang Yin disagreed with Tang Ning's statement and denied it:

"He came back to save Xingxin; otherwise, things would be even worse. Besides, acquisition is currently the fastest and most feasible solution. As for us making money, that's up to you and Li Tianmu to decide."

"However," Jiang Yin continued, "he is indeed a meticulous person. When he was a child, my grandmother said that he was 'full of cunning'."

"Wouldn't that make it like a honeycomb briquette?" Tang Ning was amused.

Jiang Yin laughed too: "Take our childhood games, for example. My IQ isn't any lower than his, but I always lost at everything. Take cards, for instance. I would just honestly draw and play my cards, but do you know what he did? He stole the cards, he stole both the King and Queen, so no matter how I drew, I couldn't get the King and Queen."

"Hahaha, that's awful," Tang Ning couldn't help but laugh. "You're just too honest."

Jiang Yin picked up her mug, took a sip of coffee, and continued:

"We can never figure out what's on his mind. Me," she pointed to herself,

"You," she pointed at Tang Ning again.

"And then there's Li Tianmu," she pointed to the ceiling:

"Even if the three of us team up, we still can't outmaneuver him. So, judge things by their actions, not their intentions. Focus on what he does, and don't try to guess what he's thinking."

Tang Ning clicked his tongue, remaining noncommittal. He didn't know Qin Heming, so he could only suppress his doubts.

Just then, the door was pushed open with a bang, and Li Tianmu walked in listlessly and plopped down next to Tang Ning.

Seeing this, Jiang Yin quickly got up to bring him coffee.

"What's wrong, young master? Are you unhappy?" Tang Ning looked at his expression.

Li Tianmu was shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere. He looked down and picked at his fingers, saying sullenly, "After working so hard, we were thwarted at the last minute. We only managed to achieve Plan B."

Tang Ning quickly comforted him: "President Jiang and I just discussed it, and Plan B is more suitable for us right now. Young Master Tianmu is very capable; he used only 3 million 'bullets' to break through a chip company with a market value of 80 billion."

Young Master Tianmu is very easy to coax. Before Tang Ning could say more than a few words, Li Tianmu's face had already brightened and even started to smile, mainly because he was determined not to cause internal strife.

Jiang Yin returned with coffee, and the three of them started talking about Qin Heming's acquisition of Xingxin again.

Speaking of the legal team, Li Tianmu shared a classic international case handled by the Qin family legal team—Kunlun Law Firm.

At that time, WeTalk, a social platform in China, was expanding rapidly in Country A, with daily active users exceeding 100 million. Capital even gave it the valuation of "the next world-class platform".

Just when everyone thought it was about to soar to great heights, the regulatory authorities of Country A suddenly issued a statement:

"Consider restricting WeTalk's operations within China."

The reasons are all high-sounding: national security, data risks, cross-border information supervision...

The world thought WeTalk was going to suffer a huge loss.

When WeTalk approached Kunlun Law Firm, all analysts predicted that its overseas business would be cut off.

The results of it?

Kunlun did not allow WeTalk to confront him head-on, nor did he retaliate by striking a gong.

They did something even more ingenious—they got WeTalk users from country A to sue the regulatory authorities themselves.

The reason given is that the ban infringes on freedom of speech.

After this move was made, the court indeed ruled that the injunction be temporarily suspended.

Country A's Ministry of Commerce was forced to withdraw the ban.

WeTalk was neither removed from app stores nor penalized.

WeTalk didn't even lift a finger from beginning to end.

Li Tianmu concluded by saying, "The most powerful thing in the world of capital is not fighting back, but 'finding someone else to win the battle for you.'"

Jiang Yin knew that this was Qin Heming's style: flexible, precise, and unpredictable; the word "lose" did not exist in his dictionary.

Li Tianmu continued, "The Kunlun office has a nickname, 'Kunlun Invincible,' because they specialize in tackling tough cases. They are the perfect people to handle Xingxin's domestic and international lawsuits."

The three chatted for a few more minutes before Jiang Yin went back to work, while Tang Ning and Li Tianmu tidied up the equipment in the small conference room.

Suddenly, Tang Ning remembered something: "Is your back no longer itchy? I haven't heard you complaining about it for the past few days?"

Li Tianmu was stunned for a moment: "Oh, I forgot! Now that you mention it... Oh, it's starting to itch, quick, scratch it for me."

Tang Ning slapped her mouth hard: Why is this mouth so annoying? Why did I have to bring this up?

.......

For dinner, the three of them planned to have a big meal to celebrate.

Finally, we chose a high-end Japanese restaurant in the city for an all-you-can-eat buffet.

After taking their seats, the three of them ordered a whole bunch of food.

The waiters, wearing wooden clogs, brought over a bunch of small plates and dishes in a continuous stream.

Sushi, sashimi, grilled dishes, tempura... the table was piled high with food.

None of the three paid any attention to speaking; they just kept eating in silence.

These past few days have been incredibly stressful due to the financial war: food tastes bland; sleep is short, and I'm even dreaming about the market.

Finally, after eating their fill, the three of them looked up and began to enjoy their wine and chat.

Jiang Yin was drinking plum-flavored sake, which was sweet and sour and had a gentle taste. She thought the sake was not very strong, but after drinking several small cups, the aftereffects started to creep up on her without her noticing.

When she stepped out of the store, she was already a little dizzy, walking as if she were walking on clouds, her mind was light and she couldn't help but want to laugh.

Even when I ran into Xie Jinxing at the gate, I didn't find him as repulsive as before.

The three of them called a designated driver and went back to their apartment to sleep soundly.

Jiang Yin slept until noon. When she got up, the group chat was quiet, so she guessed that the other two were still asleep.

Playing as the main force these past few days has really exhausted them both.

She went to the kitchen and cooked a pot of porridge, and stir-fried two light side dishes. She was confident in the taste; she had learned how to cook them from Aunt Wang so that she could make them for Qin Heming.

Everything was ready, but there was still no activity in the group.

She thought for a moment and left a message in the group: I have porridge and side dishes at home, come and eat when you wake up.

Anyway, she and Tang Ning left each other's fingerprints on the door lock, so Tang Ning could get in.

Afterwards, she tidied herself up quickly and went to the company to work overtime.

This week, the financial war slowed down our work progress, and we need to catch up as soon as possible.

.......

Tuesday, the weather was becoming increasingly spring-like.

Jiang Yin was busy at her desk, looking refreshed and energetic.

Tang Ning knocked on the door and strode in. Before even sitting down, she got straight to the point: "Qin Heming just contacted me."
