Ex-wife becomes the world's number one hacker

The safe house is located in a very ordinary residential community, in a three-bedroom house on the top floor.

As soon as Jiang Yin stepped into the safe house, two members of the review committee were already waiting for her.

She knew this was the normal procedure after a mission failed, for the purpose of intelligence retaliation and source analysis.

As required, she recounted everything that had happened between leaving the base and arriving at the safe house, word for word, in great detail, including the parts that were most difficult for her to talk about.

The two comrades asked some more targeted questions and left after receiving further explanation from Jiang Yin.

Tang Ning and Yu Haiquan arrived at almost the same time the next day, accompanied by the two members of the review committee from the previous day.

Subsequently, Downing was questioned alone in another room for two hours.

After the members of the review committee left, Yu Haiquan, Jiang Yin, and Tang Ning sat down together.

Jiang Yin was overjoyed and wept upon seeing Tang Ning return safely.

When asked about his senior brother, Yu Haiquan sighed and shook his head: "We couldn't find it."

After he finished speaking, all three of them fell silent.

Jiang Yin, in particular, was heartbroken because her senior brother jumped into the sea to protect her and was now missing.

Everyone knows that the sea at night is fraught with danger, and if you are not found quickly, your chances of survival are very slim.

According to Tang Ning, he swam for a long time thanks to his excellent physical fitness before being rescued by a small boat sent by the Eighth Division.

What followed was even more explosive news from Yu Haiquan:

Based on preliminary calculations by higher authorities using information from various sources, it was determined that the other party had actually released false intelligence to lure the Eighth Division into a trap, with the ultimate goal of capturing Jiang Yin.

Strictly speaking, it is a trap targeting "Deep Eyes".

Based on the leaks that occurred before departure, it can now be basically confirmed that there was an insider or traitor within our ranks; otherwise, such precision would not have been possible.

Upon hearing this, both Jiang Yin and Tang Ning gasped in shock.

Thinking about it carefully, from releasing clues to luring the Eighth Division into the trap to drawing out Jiang Yin, it really couldn't have been done without an inside traitor.

"Fortunately," Yu Haiquan continued to say to Jiang Yin:

"They probably don't know your true identity or appearance, nor do they know when you arrived or when you made your move. Otherwise, you would have had no chance to escape. Even if you ended up with the Qin family, you probably wouldn't have been able to get off the cruise ship."

Jiang Yin lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Yu Haiquan pinched the bridge of his nose and said wearily:

"The most difficult thing right now is that we don't even know which link in the chain is causing the problem. The unknown is the most terrifying thing; you don't know when it will deliver a fatal blow, and you have no way to defend against it or fight back."

"So you'll stay in the safe house for now and await further instructions. A special investigation team has been set up to investigate day and night; the entire system will likely undergo a major purge."

Yu Haiquan paused, lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then sighed and said:

"To be honest, the last time I cleaned it was more than 20 years ago when I first started working."

Jiang Yin and Tang Ning were puzzled. Given their strict confidentiality system, they really couldn't figure out how the information had been leaked.

They usually adopt a single-line responsibility system, and different groups do not know or are not familiar with each other.

At the base, everyone is basically a "shadow colleague." People from different project teams don't get to know each other well, and some don't even know each other's real names.

Even when going on missions outside the area and forming a temporary team, the support team members will not know all the details.

When collaborating with other departments, we will not contact each other or reveal our identities unless absolutely necessary.

Information cannot be shared even between spouses.

Tang Ning stood up and refilled Yu Haiquan's empty cup with water.

Yu Haiquan picked up his water glass and took a few sips. His eyes were fixed on a point in the void ahead. He paused for a long time, as if carefully choosing his words, before finally speaking with a determined air:

"There's one more thing... Chief Jian Mang of the Eighth Division suffered heavy losses due to a strategic miscalculation caused by a failed intelligence report... He will likely be held accountable."

Tang Ning and Jiang Yin were both startled; Tang Ning almost dropped the cup in her hand.

Sword Brilliance, Director of the Eighth Division.

He is a well-known figure not only in the domestic security system but also in the international intelligence community.

During Jiang Yin's university years, he constantly heard legends about him at the base.

In intelligence class, the stern-faced professor once used his classic "Operation Ice Soul" as a case study. When he got excited, he tapped the blackboard and said:

"This guy's thinking is like he can predict the future!"

The fact that they could become living legends within such a highly secretive system speaks volumes.

In internal briefings, his code name was always followed by the label "wise and far-sighted".

Everyone thought that the word "accident" didn't exist in his vocabulary.

But who could have imagined that it was this genius who had calculated everything perfectly?

This time, however, they suffered a huge setback on a routine task.

Just after seeing Yu Haiquan off, Jiang Yin received a call from Grandma Qin.

She first asked Jiang Yin if she had arrived at school safely and if she was in a better mood, and then continued:

"Your Grandpa Qin, your Uncle Qin, and I all hope that you can get married. We've watched you grow up since you were little, we know you inside and out, and we know how much you like Heming."

"Don't worry, I'll talk to Heming and try to get you two married as soon as possible," Grandma Qin said confidently.

Jiang Yin declined Grandma Qin's offer.

Grandma Qin told her not to worry about it and to leave everything to her.

Oh, so I had to do some ideological work; it turns out he was still unwilling.

Jiang Yin sighed deeply.

The tension that had been building for days, whether due to mission or emotions, suddenly snapped. She lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

He slept for five days and five nights, waking up briefly each time before falling back into a deep sleep.

For the first two days, Tang Ning didn't pay much attention, thinking she was just too tired.

Later, he gradually realized that something was wrong.

After that, every time she woke up, he would seize the opportunity to force-feed her water and food.

Later, when he wanted to carry her to the hospital, she said, "No need, I'll be fine after a little more sleep."

She didn't want to wake up, didn't want to face reality.

In reality, her mental world collapsed, leaving only ruins.

In her dream, everything was still so beautiful and peaceful, with kind grandparents and her beloved brother Heming.

I had happy childhood memories.

There's a Ferris wheel, snow-capped mountains, a beach wedding, and countless days and nights spent embracing and kissing with Brother Heming...

But every time I open my eyes, before I even know where I am, the dense, sharp pain in my chest strikes first, like being pricked by needles.

It turns out that when people are sad to a certain extent, their hearts really do hurt. I should just keep sleeping; the pain will go away once I'm asleep.

I just want to fall asleep like this and never wake up.

On the fifth day at dusk, Jiang Yin woke up again and saw Tang Ning by her bedside, his eyes bloodshot from lack of sleep.

She struggled to sit up.

Tang Ning quickly helped her up and placed a pillow behind her back.

Looking at Tang Ning's worried face, Jiang Yin said weakly, "Brother Ning, I'm fine, don't be afraid."

Tang Ning wiped her eyes, turned and ran out, returning shortly with a bowl of porridge.

"Here, have some porridge. I don't know when you'll wake up, so the porridge has been kept warm in the pot and it's overcooked."

From that day on, Jiang Yin began to eat normally, and Tang Ning took good care of her.

She said nothing, and he asked nothing.

Every day she sits blankly by the window watching the sunrise, the sunset, the evening glow, and the moon rise above the branches.

He stayed quietly by his side.

On the twentieth day after arriving at the safe house, Yu Haiquan arrived.

The new information brought was that they could leave the safe house.

However, the security situation remains severe, requiring immediate hibernation, and it is unclear when it will be awakened.

Hibernation means leaving your current job, returning to society, and living a "normal" life.

He wanted to hear their opinions on whether he needed the organization to assign him work or if he had some ideas of his own.

Tang Ning and Jiang Yin exchanged a glance and agreed that they would discuss it further before making a decision.

Later that evening, Tang Ning was playing games in his room, and Jiang Yin could hear the clattering of the keyboard.

Just then, her phone rang; it was Grandma Qin calling...
