Ex-wife becomes the world's number one hacker

In the afternoon, Grandma Qin talked to Gu Jiangyin for a long time, telling her to remember to come to her if she had any difficulties, otherwise she would worry.

As dinner time approached, Grandma Qin wanted her to stay for dinner. However, Gu Jiangyin politely declined because there was still a lot of preparation work to be done.

With no other choice, Grandma Qin reluctantly saw her off, going along with her wishes.

Before stepping down the stairs, Gu Jiangyin couldn't help but turn back, her gaze precisely fixed on the familiar window on the second floor, where the curtains were still tightly drawn.

He hasn't shown up all afternoon, he's probably... still sleeping?

She stared at it quietly for two seconds before slowly looking away.

His lips curved into a habitual smile as he responded to Grandma Qin's farewell.

As she got into the car arranged by Grandma Qin, Gu Jiangyin turned her head and cast one last glance at the window: Goodbye, Brother Heming.

The car slowly drove away.

She turned around, leaned her head against the back of the seat, and stared blankly through the rear window at the villa getting smaller and smaller until it disappeared around a corner, along with the window.

She turned around, sat up straight, and gently lowered her eyelashes.

I really wanted to say goodbye to him in person, but... this is fine too.

She smiled faintly. That unexpected meeting that morning was enough for her to savor repeatedly in the years to come without him.

That evening, Gu Jiangyin went to the room where her grandparents had lived.

My grandparents had a very good relationship throughout their lives and always slept in the same room.

After her grandmother passed away, she begged her father to keep the room as it was.

Dad agreed, so this room remains exactly as it was when Grandpa and Grandma were alive.

When she misses her grandparents, she comes to this room to sleep for one night.

Especially in the six months after her grandmother passed away, she slept here almost every day, hoping that her grandmother had not gone far and would come to her dreams at night.

She stood in the middle of the ground, raised her phone, and slowly turned around, recording everything in front of her.

Then, she sat on the bay window with her knees drawn up, her gaze tracing every corner of the room, the laughter and joy of the past faintly resurfacing in her mind.

She used to love to linger on this bed, nestled between her grandparents, vividly recounting the funny things that happened at school, which her grandparents always listened to with great interest...

She slept here that night; it was probably her last night in this house, in this room.

She hoped that her grandmother could follow her longing and come into her dreams so that she could say goodbye to her grandmother properly.

I don't know if this room will be preserved after I leave.

Tears streamed down her cheeks, and a deep sigh slowly settled in her heart.

At 9:50 a.m. the next morning, Gu Jiangyin was already sitting at her desk, ready to check her scores.

Teacher Wang called a few minutes ago to remind her to check her score and notify her as soon as possible.

At 10 o'clock sharp, the time came, and Gu Jiangyin logged into the score checking system.

With 733 points, it ranked third in the city.

She reported her grades to Teacher Wang, who said she was only 1.5 points behind the first place.

Gu Jiangyin felt no regrets; she had done her best.

After informing Teacher Wang, she logged onto the official website of the city's education examination authority, entered the application system, and applied for the early admission program for aircraft design at Xijing University.

After the system indicated that the submission was successful, she formatted her computer.

She then called Director Yu and learned that the car that was supposed to pick her up was already waiting at the entrance of the residential area.

Last night before going to bed, she copied all the data and photos from her phone and computer to a USB drive.

Gu Jiangyin then unlinked the two bank cards from her mobile phone, applied for account closure on the app, and then formatted all her mobile phones.

After placing her phone and computer on the desk, she picked up her prepared backpack and went downstairs.

Aunt Chen stood in the living room, wringing her hands and looking completely lost.

Gu Jiangyin walked over, gently opened her arms, and hugged Aunt Chen tightly.

Aunt Chen knew the moment of parting had come, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Gu Jiangyin said in a hoarse voice, "Auntie, I'm leaving. Take care."

Aunt Chen was too sad to speak, and after a long pause, she finally said, "Yin, take good care of yourself."

Two hours later, at a military airfield in the suburbs, a gray military aircraft took off...

After arriving at the base with Yu Haiquan, Gu Jiangyin changed her name to "Jiangyin" and took the same surname as her grandmother.

.......

Since the rooftop incident, Ding Meiyu's mental state has improved considerably, perhaps because of Lin Xiyue's company.

But he is often worried and often sits alone in a daze.

That day, as usual, she sat blankly on the sofa, examining a bottle of medicine.

Lin Xiyue rushed into the house in a flurry, and without even taking off her shoes, she pounced on Ding Meiyu, squatted down, grabbed Ding Meiyu's legs with both hands, and excitedly said:

"Mom, that girl is gone. She won't come back. We won't be separated anymore."

Ding Meiyu stared at Lin Xiyue for two seconds, then, realizing what she meant, said "Oh" and got up to walk towards the bathroom.

Lin Xiyue got up and excitedly recounted the details she knew as she followed her mother into the bathroom to wash her hands.

Seeing her mother unscrew the medicine bottle and pour all the medicine into the toilet, she asked in confusion:

"Huh? Isn't this Dad's nitroglycerin pill? Mom, why did you fall over?"

Ding Meiyu said casually, "It's nothing, it's expired."

..............

With the roar of tires scraping the ground and the push-back feeling brought on by inertia, Jiang Yin was awakened from her deep memories—Xijing had arrived.

The plane was still taxiing when the impatient people got up one after another.

They either stretched their waist and legs or ignored the flight attendants' advice to open the overhead bins to retrieve their luggage.

Many others hurriedly opened their phones to let their loved ones know they were safe.

Jiang Yin calmly watched the crowded people in the aisle without moving.

She didn't have much luggage; she only had a backpack, which she kept clutching in her arms.

There were no relatives who needed her to let them know she was safe.

I followed at the very back of the crowd and quietly got off the plane.

Because she didn't need to collect her luggage, she was the last to disembark and the first to walk out of the passageway and into the arrival hall.

The first thing I saw was a kind and honest face – Uncle Liu.

Eight years later, it was him who came to pick me up again. Uncle Liu hadn't changed much in the four years since we last met.

Uncle Liu looks unassuming and unremarkable in a crowd, but as a former special forces soldier, he was quite a figure of prestige before his discharge.

"Uncle Liu, it's been a long time." Jiang Yin smiled and quickly went to greet him.

"Xiao Yin, you've become even more beautiful," Uncle Liu teased her with a smile. "You're gentler than before. You used to be so stiff and unapproachable, like a tomboy."

"You haven't had breakfast yet? What would you like to eat?" Uncle Liu tried to take Jiang Yin's backpack, but Jiang Yin stopped him, indicating that it was light and she could carry it herself.

"Oil-splashed noodles".

"Let's go get some oil-splashed noodles."

The two strolled out of the arrival hall, where it was already broad daylight.

Uncle Liu drove Jiang Yin into a long-established noodle shop near the airport.

After finishing a bowl of fragrant oil-splashed noodles, Jiang Yin's tense nerves completely relaxed.

After eating and drinking to our hearts' content, we got back into Uncle Liu's car, and exhaustion washed over us like a tidal wave.

She tilted her head and fell into a deep sleep; she hadn't had a good night's sleep for several days.

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Yin heard someone calling her name in her ear:

"Xiao Yin, wake up."
