Ex-wife becomes the world's number one hacker

Lu Xun smiled faintly: "Don't call me that. I graduated a year later than you."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiyue's cheeks flushed red: "I'm sorry, Senior Brother Lu... I was in a hurry to come back and get married, so..."

"Actually, it's just a graduation thesis, isn't it?" Lu Xun said casually. "If you ask for it, I'll give it to you."

Lin Xiyue wrung her hands and bowed her head, saying, "I'm sorry..."

"However," Lu Xun changed the subject, a half-smile on his face, "your skill is quite high. I still can't figure out how you 'took' it away."

He deliberately emphasized the word "take".

Lin Xiyue's face gradually paled.

Lu Xun glanced at her, chuckled softly, and suddenly changed the subject: "Are you married?"

"......not yet."

Lu Xun nodded, her expression indifferent: "Don't worry, I won't tell Qin Heming. Just be your Mrs. Qin."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the conference room.

The meeting room was set up like a classroom, with a small table attached to each chair. Everyone faced the large screen and formed several semi-circular circles.

Everyone took their seats, and the meeting began.

After Long Xingyuan finished his opening remarks, he handed the podium to Jiang Yin.

As the R&D leader of the "Low Altitude OS" core system and the alliance coordinator, she needed to explain the overall architecture of the system, the joint debugging rules, and most importantly—the "red lines" of data security and access permissions to all attendees.

Jiang Yin stood on the stage, dressed in a sharp suit, her expression calm and composed.

She explained the system's operating logic, using simple analogies such as "the control tower of urban air traffic" and "air traffic rules that all aircraft must abide by" to make the complex system easy to understand.

When explaining data security, she paused deliberately, her gaze sweeping across the entire room:

"One more point: This system is a key national scientific research project, and all core code and architecture are classified as 'controlled technology.' Any unauthorized access, copying, alteration, or disclosure is subject to the 'National Secrets Law' and the 'Counter-Espionage Law,' and may result in criminal liability."

Her voice was steady but carried an undeniable weight: "Please be sure to strictly abide by the rules and do not cross the line."

At this moment, Lin Xiyue, having calmed down outside the door, rallied again.

She suppressed her disappointment, regained her composure, and gently pushed open the door to the conference room.

She moved a chair from the back row and gently placed it behind Qin Heming.

Huang Wei offered to help, but she politely declined.

She then gracefully took her seat.

She peeked at Qin Heming's computer screen.

The "Low Altitude OS" system is running, and the entrance sign for the system storage area in the lower left corner is clearly visible.

Qin Heming stared intently at the large screen in front of him, without turning around or closing his laptop.

Lin Xiyue smiled and said: He's always like this, never putting up any defenses in front of me.

She straightened her back, habitually smoothed her hair, and suddenly realized something was wrong.

Looking up, the entire room was silent; everyone was staring at her in a daze.

She was momentarily confused. Was something wrong? Hadn't she always been able to come and go as she pleased?

The pen in Long Xingyuan's hand landed on the table with a crisp "tap".

Director Long was unhappy.

Tang Ning glanced at Jiang Yin, who stood quietly on the stage, turned around, and said calmly:

"Mr. Qin, this project is led by our company, and we have previously clearly requested that all departments submit a review list for record-keeping. I'm sorry, but I don't see Ms. Lin's name on the list. Those who did not pass the review are not allowed to attend the meeting. Has Mr. Qin not received this notification?"

Qin Heming glanced at Lin Xiyue, slightly embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I'll vouch for you, Miss Lin, you're fine. I'll complete the formalities later—"

Tang Ning's face darkened, and she interrupted him directly: "Then let's wait until President Qin completes the formalities. Just a reminder to President Qin, the procedure is: your company must first issue an employment contract, and then submit your personal information and achievements for our company to review."

He paused, his tone becoming even more serious: "We are a serious and high-end group, and everyone here is an elite. We don't tolerate idlers here. We expect Ms. Lin to deliver convincing results."

After saying that, Tang Ning looked at Long Xingyuan and Jiang Yin and found that the two of them were already packing their things and preparing to leave.

Long Xingyuan closed his notebook and said sternly, "That's all for today. Please have President Qin complete the necessary procedures and ensure that no unauthorized personnel enter the venue again before we reschedule the meeting."

Having said that, he got up to leave.

Lin Xiyue then realized what was happening: "I'm sorry, I... I'll leave right away."

He then lowered his head and hurriedly left.

Seeing this, Long Xingyuan did not pursue the matter further and sat down again.

The meeting continued.

As Jiang Yin explained, the system ran smoothly on the screen.

Lu Xun's expression remained calm, but his gaze paused almost imperceptibly for a moment:

Hey, look what I found!

If the room hadn't been full of people, he would have whistled.

He slowly withdrew his gaze, his expression returning to normal.

After the meeting ended, everyone filed out of the conference room.

Lin Xiyue waited outside.

Seeing Long Xingyuan walk out first, she quickly stepped forward to apologize in a humble manner.

Long Xingyuan ignored him completely, as if he hadn't heard a thing, and strode away.

As Jiang Yin and Tang Ning reached the door, Qin Heming greeted them and said, "Sorry to disturb the meeting."

Jiang Yin looked at Qin Heming's thin face and nodded slightly.

She suddenly realized that Qin Heming could be so muddle-headed, unable to distinguish between public and private matters; she had overestimated him before.

Tang Ning, standing to the side, wore a forced smile and said, "President Qin is very good at managing the company. I've learned something."

Qin Heming smiled but didn't say anything.

Seeing that everyone had left, Qin Heming turned to Lin Xiyue, who was standing beside him, and asked, "Do you want to join the project team?"

Lin Xiyue gave her usual gentle smile: "No, the new product of the Smart Patrol World is about to be launched, and I'm very busy lately, so I won't be able to participate."

"Okay, do a good job."

Hearing Qin Heming's encouraging words, Lin Xiyue's pent-up anger finally dissipated somewhat.

During this period, Zhi's reputation in the world has soared. He must be satisfied, right?

Thinking of this, the corners of her lips curved up slightly again.

.......

In the days following the meeting, Jiang Yin continued to monitor Old A's activities.

After a period of unusually high activity, Old A's signal began to decrease in noise and finally quieted down completely on August 14.

Jiang Yin understood: the other party had entered an "absolute silence period" before a major operation.

From that moment on, she could no longer track him down in the online world.

Monitoring and defense of target groups will henceforth rely on other conventional means of organization.

Jiang Yin took out a tiny device, slightly larger than a shirt button and less than five millimeters thick, from her inner pocket.

This is an emergency communicator she modified using redundant components from the lab. Its casing is made of dark gray absorbing ceramic, with a warm, smooth feel, capable of fooling almost all detection instruments. The internal circuitry operates only for milliseconds when a button is pressed, remaining completely silent most of the time.

It's so small that it can be easily hidden between your fingers, in the lining of a bra, or in a hidden compartment on the back of a watch case, and it's so light that it feels like nothing.

There is only one slightly concave circular button on the front.

The device has only two sets of instructions: a short press automatically initiates an encrypted call to a unique preset number; a long press for three seconds enters answering mode, where calls can only be received from that number.

The default number was the one Yu Haiquan gave her when she was in "dormant" period.

To avoid interfering with the organization's plans, she never made the call.

Now, the time has come.

Moreover, this time, Yu Haiquan explicitly told her that the number always belonged to "Warriors".

.......

In sync with the other side, Yu Haiquan issued the order: Our personnel should also enter a state of complete silence.

Jiang Yin and Tang Ning maintained a normal work and life on the surface, and everything seemed peaceful and serene.

In reality, he was in a heavy mood and his whole body was tense.

A silent battle has begun, and the air is already thick with the smoke of war.

A great war is about to break out!
