Ex-wife becomes the world's number one hacker

Lin Xiyue burst into tears.

When Gu Jiangyin saw the large pin, her head buzzed, and she stood up abruptly.

Shen Lan quickly checked Lin Xiyue's mouth and told the maid to quickly bring salt water to rinse her mouth.

Immediately, he snatched the pin from Gu Tingfeng's hand, held it up in front of Gu Jiangyin, and gritted his teeth, saying, "Explain!"

"I, I, I didn't put it there, I really didn't."

Gu Jiangyin's face turned as white as paper in an instant. She clutched the hem of her clothes, on the verge of tears.

"Gu Jiangyin, why can't you tolerate Yueyue? Last time you pushed her down the stairs, this time you want to stab her to death. What exactly do you want?" Shen Lan's voice grew louder and louder, and the last sentence was almost shouted.

After a moment of confusion, Gu Jiangyin quickly recovered and pointed at Lin Xiyue, saying:

"I didn't put it there, she put it herself."

"Nonsense, Yueyue stayed in the living room the whole time she came, and didn't go to your room at all."

Upon hearing this, Shen Lan became even more furious.

Gu Jiangyin continued to insist:

"She came to my room to get it last time, and even warned me..."

Lin Xiyue had just finished rinsing her mouth when Gu Tingfeng shone a flashlight into her mouth to check the wound.

Upon hearing Gu Jiangyin's words, Lin Xiyue immediately burst into tears again. She pushed Gu Tingfeng away, stood up, and made as if to leave.

Shen Lan grabbed Lin Xiyue and roared at Gu Jiangyin:

"Shut up. You have a dark heart, so you think everyone else is just like you."

Gu Tingfeng quickly stepped in between:

"Alright, alright, stop arguing. There must be some misunderstanding. Yinyin wouldn't do something like that."

Then he winked at Gu Jiangyin, whose face was covered in tears:

"Yinyin, go upstairs first, go upstairs first. Your mother is angry. Let's talk after she calms down."

Gu Jiangyin turned and went upstairs to her room, where she lay on the bed and silently shed tears.

I don't know how much time has passed.

Two soft knocks came from the door.

"Yin, Yin Yin," Aunt Chen called softly from outside the door.

Gu Jiangyin got up to open the door, then lay back down on the bed.

Aunt Chen came in carrying a tray.

Aunt Chen placed the tray on the desk, on which were food and fruit.

Gu Jiangyin barely ate anything that evening, and Aunt Chen was worried she would go hungry.

Gu Jiangyin lay on her side, her arms wrapped around her chest, her legs curled up, like a little baby.

Aunt Chen felt a pang of sadness, and tears almost welled up in her eyes. When had that little darling, who was so cherished by her grandmother, ever suffered such a great injustice?

Aunt Chen had watched her grow up and knew her character well; she always unconditionally trusted Yinyin.

If Yinyin said she didn't do it, then she definitely didn't do it.

Aunt Chen squatted down, leaned against the bedside, wiped away the tears from Gu Jiangyin's eyes with her hand, and said softly:

"Yin, you've been wronged. Get up and eat something. You can't go without eating."

Hearing Aunt Chen's words, Gu Jiangyin felt a surge of grievance again, and tears streamed down her face once more.

Aunt Chen quickly patted her back gently, while shedding tears herself.

After Gu Jiangyin calmed down a bit, Aunt Chen tentatively said:

"Should we talk to Grandma Qin about it?"

She closed her eyes and shook her head:

"No, Grandma Qin is too old, and I don't want her to worry. Besides, this is a family matter, and it's not really appropriate for her to interfere."

Aunt Chen sighed deeply. She and the other servants knew pretty much everything that had happened recently.

But as laborers, they couldn't say anything about their employer's affairs; it wouldn't make any difference anyway.

In the following days, Gu Jiangyin resumed her work life of leaving early and returning late, thinking that she would get through this holiday and move to the school dormitory when school started.

The results of the college entrance examination will be released in three days.

Gu Jiangyin had a day off that day and went to the school at Teacher Wang's request to discuss the graduation party. The time was set before everyone went to their respective universities.

Gu Jiangyin is the class monitor, so she has to take charge of this matter.

It was nearly noon when Gu Jiangyin returned from school. She didn't let a taxi drive in and walked into the residential area herself.

Passing by that artificial lake, I saw that a patch of water lilies had been planted in the center of the lake at some point, and several flower buds had already sprouted from the small, round leaves.

There is a long corridor extending into the center of the lake, with one-meter-high railings on both sides.

She strolled along the long corridor and walked towards the center of the lake.

Upon reaching the end of the corridor, I discovered that the movable railings that usually blocked the way were gone, and I could touch the water after walking down two steps.

Gu Jiangyin walked down the steps, squatted down, and looked at the clusters of water lilies. They were so beautiful!

She tried to lean over and touch the nearest flower bud.

Just then, the sound of running footsteps came from behind, followed by a girl giggling and saying:

"Sister, what are you doing here?" she said, and then suddenly pounced on her.

Gu Jiangyin felt a slight force on her waist and lost her balance, falling into the lake with a "plop".

She can't swim at all.

As soon as I fell into the lake, I panicked. The water was dark and cold, and the lake water choked me, causing a sharp pain in my lungs. It felt like my chest was going to explode.

She flailed her arms and kicked her legs wildly, but her body sank uncontrollably.

As she bobbed up and down, she saw Lin Xiyue shouting from the shore, "Help! Someone has fallen into the water!"

On the other hand, his eyes gleamed with excitement as he stared intently at her struggling in the water.

Later, Lin Xiyue simply stopped shouting. She just rested her hands on her knees, bit her lip, and stared intently at the scene before her.

It's midday, everyone's taking their lunch break, so there's hardly anyone passing by.

For the first time in her life, Gu Jiangyin felt that death was so close to her, and she was filled with despair.

Just at this critical moment, a capable-looking man suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

He ran while taking off his clothes, then plunged into the water and swam quickly to Gu Jiangyin's side, lifting her head out of the water.

She was finally able to breathe fresh air, and after taking a few deep breaths, she began to cough violently.

In a daze, she saw Lin Xiyue pouting in disappointment, as if she were muttering:

"It's not fun, it's boring."

Then he clapped his hands and strolled away.

The man dragged Gu Jiangyin onto the corridor, knelt down on one knee, and patted her back with his palm.

After a few moments, Gu Jiangyin coughed up several mouthfuls of water, and her breathing became easier.

Fortunately, she was rescued in time and is unharmed.

Gu Jiangyin looked at the man in front of her, and a thought struck her:

"Uncle, were you sent by Director Yu?" The man nodded.

"Thank you, Uncle."

"You're welcome. How did you fall?" the man asked, staring at her.

Gu Jiangyin fell silent, unsure whether to tell the stranger what had happened.

Seeing her silence, the man said:

"It's alright, you'd better talk to Director Yu about it, it'll be good for your safety."

"Yes, thank you, Uncle."

"Are you alright? Can you get home by yourself?"

"Yes." Gu Jiangyin nodded to her uncle.

She walked ahead, dripping wet, with the uncle following not far behind.

When Gu Jiangyin arrived at her doorstep and turned around again, the uncle was gone.

Upon entering the house, I was surprised to find Shen Lan home, making a phone call.

Seeing Gu Jiangyin walk in, dripping wet, she screamed loudly:

"Where have you been gallivanting off to again? You're all filthy and smelly!"

"Lin Xiyue pushed me into the lake in the community," Gu Jiangyin said while coughing.

"Shut up! Don't slander my Yueyue. She didn't even come today. If you're going to frame someone, at least be reasonable!" Shen Lan snapped.

Then, she pointed a finger at Gu Jiangyin's nose and shouted a warning at the top of her lungs:

"Let me tell you, Gu Jiangyin, Yueyue is my daughter, and I will not allow outsiders to slander her. And you, don't even think about kicking her out!"

Gu Jiangyin was stunned. Although she always felt there was a distance between her and Shen Lan, she had never seen Shen Lan so out of control.

Hearing the commotion, Gu Tingfeng hurriedly ran out of the study.

Oh, Gu Jiangyin remembered, today is Sunday, so they are all at home.

She was on vacation so much that she forgot all about time.

Gu Tingfeng also heard Gu Jiangyin say that Lin Xiyue pushed her, and his face turned angry.

"Yinyin, Yueyue didn't come today at all. You can't lie just to exclude her. Besides, pushing someone into the water is illegal. How could a delicate little girl like her do such a thing?"

It was as if an invisible hammer had struck her nerves hard, and Gu Jiangyin instantly calmed down.

She let out a long, silent breath, and the last vestige of her inexplicable expectation vanished.

At that moment, she realized with absolute clarity:

I couldn't even stay in this house for a single day anymore.
