Ex-wife becomes the world's number one hacker

For the next two days, Jiang Yin spent almost the entire time in a state of weightlessness and disorientation.

My mind felt like it was filled with a tangled mess of hot, churning thoughts, constantly churning, yet I couldn't make any sense of it.

The external security alarms have been lifted, but the psychological tension remains high and cannot be relaxed.

Just like many people who continue taking exams the day after finishing their college entrance exams, it's out of habit that they can't stop.

On Monday, she actually went to work for a whole day.

But the whole day felt like walking on cotton, a daze, and I didn't know what I had done.

That evening, Tang Ning, who had been helping Yu Haiquan, returned, and the news she brought completely shocked Jiang Yin.

Tang Ning slumped onto the sofa, looking exhausted with dark circles under her eyes, clearly having been through a lot these past two days.

"Ding Meiyu got into some trouble," he said in a hoarse voice.

"The incident where they arranged for a truck to hit you was planned by her, Shen Lan, and Lin Xiyue, and carried out by Chen Mo. Now Shen Lan has also been arrested."

Jiang Yin wasn't too surprised that Ding Meiyu and Lin Xiyue wanted to kill her. After all, Lin Xiyue had already done the same thing when she was seventeen. She herself had admitted it during the confrontation at the warehouse.

But Shen Lan's involvement still sent a chill down her spine—it was too unbelievable.

Nine years have passed, and she still can't understand where Shen Lan's overwhelming hatred comes from.

"There's even more shocking news," Tang Ning said, rubbing her neck.

"Lin Rongsen was called in to assist with the investigation because of Ding Meiyu's matter."

"In his statement, he said that just seconds before the accident, he overheard Ding Meiyu and Chen Mo talking on the phone, confirming the collision. He immediately notified Qin Heming. That's why Qin Heming, who was behind your car, was able to accelerate first and save you. Otherwise..." Tang Ning shook his head.

Jiang Yin raised her eyebrows high: "Lin Rongsen? Why would he do that?"

"He was turned by Qin Heming," Tang Ning said with a complicated expression.

"My head has been filled with so many things these past few days, sigh, each one more astonishing than the last."

Jiang Yin leaned forward unconsciously, urging anxiously, "Tell me quickly! How did you turn them to their side?"

"Sigh, it's a long story. It all started more than twenty years ago." Tang Ning rested her head on the back of the sofa, staring at the ceiling, her voice low and hoarse:

"When Ding Meiyu worked at the Yu family's Beijing office, she got involved with Yu Maolin and became pregnant with Lin Xiyue. Actually, Yu Maolin was already married at the time, and his wife and children were in Country A."

"Later, Yu Maolin left without saying goodbye. Ding Meiyu discovered she was pregnant and learned that Lin Rongsen desperately wanted a child. She wanted to use the child to get close to Lin Rongsen, so she plotted against him."

"Later, Zhuang Zinan—Lin Rongsen's first wife—told Ding Meiyu that Lin Rongsen couldn't have children. Because he didn't have asthenospermia, he had azoospermia. She had forged the medical records to protect her husband's pride. She said she could pay for Ding Meiyu to have an abortion and help her find a new job to start over."

"Ding Meiyu immediately started acting, threatening to jump off the building. The kind-hearted Zhuang Zinan rushed over to pull her back, but in the struggle, Ding Meiyu pushed him off the building instead. It was nighttime, and then a torrential rain started. By some twist of fate, no direct evidence was left, and in the end, it could only be ruled a suicide."

"All of this was recorded by Ding Meiyu's brother, Ding Mancai, on the rooftop of the building across the street. He originally wanted to film his sister having an affair with Lin Rongsen in the office so he could extort money from her, but he didn't expect to film something even more shocking. From then on, Ding Mancai used this video to blackmail Ding Meiyu, and his appetite grew bigger and bigger."

"After Xingxin was shorted by us, she had no money to pay Ding Mancai. So she decided to kill him and end it all. Chen Mo kidnapped Ding Mancai to bury him alive, but Qin Heming intercepted him halfway, got the original video, and gave it to Lin Rongsen. The day Ding Meiyu was arrested was because Lin Rongsen reported her to the police station."

"Later, Lin Rongsen turned Gu Tingfeng to his side. The two of them replaced all the firing pins on the guns of Yu Maolin's gang."

Jiang Yin listened in stunned silence, her brows furrowed.

"Changing the firing pin isn't easy, how did they manage it?"

Tang Ning straightened up, grabbed the water glass, and took a big gulp:

"I'm not entirely clear on the specific details; that's all I know for now. Let's hear what Director Yu has to say at the first internal case briefing the day after tomorrow."

"Oh." Jiang Yin lowered her head, remained silent for a few seconds, and unconsciously twisted the hem of her clothes with her fingers.

"Hmm... these past few days... have you...?"

Tang Ning glanced at her and put down her water glass:

"I'm going to Xinhua Hospital tomorrow. Director Yu asked me to go see Qin Heming to confirm a few details. Do you want to come with me? Or... is there anything you want to ask?"

"No," Jiang Yin answered almost instantly, decisively.

Tang Ning sighed silently to herself and shook her head.

The following morning, Tang Ning brought a bouquet of flowers to Qin Heming's hospital room.

Qin Heming lay on the bed holding his phone, the light from the screen reflecting on his face.

"You're already like this, why aren't you resting your eyes? What are you looking at?" Tang Ning rolled her eyes at him as she entered, casually holding up the flowers.

"Look, I bought it on sale. You can't possibly finish all the food I bought."

Qin Heming slowly put down his phone, managing a weak smile, his face still pale.

"Excuse me, could you please raise the bed a bit?"

Tang Ning helped him get out of bed and sat on the chair by the bed to confirm with him what Yu Haiquan had told him.

A dozen minutes later, the business was finished.

Tang Ning closed the folder, reached into his pocket, and discreetly turned on the voice recorder.

"Qin Heming, I have a few questions to ask you."

"Ask away," Qin Heming said, his breath slightly short after speaking quite a bit.

Tang Ning cut to the chase: "What's going on with the short selling of Xingxin?"

Qin Heming smirked. "Since you're asking this, you already know the answer, don't you?"

"Don't give me that. I want to hear it from you yourself." Tang Ning frowned.

Qin Heming wasn't angry and answered softly:

"Xingxin is a spark, and both Yinyin and I want to keep it. But it's more suitable for it to stay in my hands. You can focus on making money."

"You need the money to acquire Bihai right now, otherwise, how will you develop customers when the EU delegation arrives?"

"You planned all this in advance, didn't you? When to start, when you'll go missing, when we'll make our move? Even the financial fraud information 'coincidentally' ended up in Tianmu's hands?" Tang Ning bombarded him with a barrage of questions.

"Preparations were made long ago. But implementation began after the Spring Festival, once the new blueprints and equipment arrived."

Tang Ning saw that his expression was really unpleasant: "Forget it, how about we don't ask today?"

Qin Heming gently shook his head. "It's alright. Ask away, and I'll try to keep it brief."

"How can you be so sure we'll make a move?" Tang Ning pondered for a moment.

A gentle smile flickered in Qin Heming's eyes: "I guess this is the tacit understanding between Yinyin and me."

Tang Ning clicked her tongue: "Fine, you're impressive. So, you were the one who caused Lin Xiyue to fall, weren't you?"

"Yes."

"Does this restrict her activities, and she can't come to see you in person anymore?" Tang Ning continued to ask.

"Yes. There's one more layer. She hired someone to beat up Yinyin, and I have to return it."

"Can't she ask someone else for help? Didn't you introduce her to a bunch of connections?" Tang Ning couldn't help but purse her lips.

"Wang Qian and she are getting close, and rumors are circulating. The market rescue is too risky. Those connections are all shrewd people. They're afraid I'll deny everything when I come back, so they won't get involved in this mess."

"What's going on with Wang Qian?" Tang Ning asked curiously.

"My informant." Qin Heming's lips curled slightly.

Tang Ning scoffed, "You're really something, you're an informant yourself, and you even have informants under your command."

"Yes. In the end, only Wang Qian was left as a path for her. She asked Wang Qian to help her find me, but actually, there was no need to. I calculated that the time was about right and I came back on my own."

"Yeah, you came back pretty 'timely,' right on the edge, not only getting a great deal but also making them grateful to you." Tang Ning nodded.

Qin Heming said calmly, "The most important thing is that we can do it in a logical way and not arouse their suspicion."

"You're awesome! Absolutely flawless!" Tang Ning exclaimed sincerely.

"Serving the people. This chip factory will be handed over to the state after the integration is completed." Qin Heming coughed lightly.

Tang Ning gave him a thumbs up.

"Next, the transfer of the Smart Patrol Boundary was your doing, wasn't it? You saw the additional clauses Xiaoyin wrote, didn't you?"

"Of course, I deliberately placed it in an inconspicuous position when I officially signed the contract. During the transfer, I deliberately chatted with them, so they were embarrassed to look at it closely. The lawyer is one of my people."

"Why did you do this? If you want to avenge Xiaoyin, why don't you do it yourself?" Tang Ning frowned.

Qin Heming gently shook his head: "After all, her biological parents are inside. She can decide for herself what she wants to do. I can't overstep my bounds."

"That strategic gyroscope in the back, you did that on purpose, didn't you?"

"Well, I watched Yinyin's press conference and know that she still wants to get them to invest more money, so I'll introduce an expensive one." Qin Heming turned slightly to the side.

"I must say, you two really have great chemistry." Tang Ning rolled up his shirt sleeves, preparing to wrap things up.

"One last question, was it you who got rid of General Manager Zhao of Bihai? Were you deliberately clearing obstacles for us?"

"Yes, you guys keep dragging your feet and never get it done. I know you're worried about my status, but I'm not afraid, I'm a 'commoner'."

"What were you laughing at when we forced you to quit?" Tang Ning stood up.

"My smiling daughter has finally grown up and knows how to break the deadlock using unconventional methods. I was guessing what she would do, and the result made me very happy." Qin Heming chuckled, which aggravated his injury, causing him to frown slightly.

Tang Ning put his hands on his hips and said with admiration, "You play a great game of chess; we are all just pieces on your chessboard."

Qin Heming laughed: "No, I was just setting up the board; it was you who made the moves."

"By the way, how did you get the information about Xingxin's financial fraud?" Tang Ning suddenly thought of another question before leaving.

"This... I can't tell you." Qin Heming closed his eyes, weariness creeping onto his brow.

"I can only tell Yinyin."

Tang Ning rolled her eyes, strode towards the door, and muttered a few words of advice as she went:

"Get some rest and stop looking at your phone. I'm leaving."

"Um."
