Ex-wife becomes the world's number one hacker

Gu Jiangyin watched helplessly as the SUV sped towards her. She tried to dodge, but her body seemed to be frozen in place, unable to move at all.

Just then, someone darted across the sidewalk, grabbed her, and flipped her over to the side. The two of them rolled into the bushes next to them.

A sharp screech of brakes erupted as the SUV veered onto the sidewalk.

Yu Haiquan leaped from the bushes and charged toward the SUV.

The SUV suddenly reversed off the sidewalk, then turned the steering wheel and sped away.

Yu Haiquan only had time to see that the SUV had no license plate and that there was a sign for trainees on the rear windshield before the SUV disappeared in a flash.

At this moment, Gu Jiangyin also climbed up from the bushes and patted the dust off his body.

Yu Haiquan also turned around to check if she was injured.

Fortunately, it was just some scratches and a dirty shirt; overall, there was nothing seriously wrong.

"Director Yu, what are you doing here?" Gu Jiangyin asked curiously as she brushed the dust off her clothes.

"Xijing University is holding a pre-exam information session at your school today, have you received the notification?"

"Received."

Gu Jiangyin was thinking that although she didn't necessarily have to apply to that school, it would be good to listen to it. She wondered if Director Yu would come.

Unexpectedly, Director Yu did arrive and even saved her life.

Thinking of this, she looked at Yu Haiquan gratefully and thanked him repeatedly:

"Thank you, Director Yu. Without you, I might be dead today."

"Seriously, what's wrong with this car? It's like it's gone mad. How can someone with this level of skill be on the road? It's a total road hazard. It scared me to death, hehe."

Gu Jiangyin patted his chest and said with a grin.

Seeing that Gu Jiangyin's face showed little panic, Yu Haiquan couldn't help but frown:

"Have you had any conflicts with anyone recently? Or have you discussed recruitment with anyone else?"

Gu Jiangyin decisively shook her head and said:

"No, none of them."

Yu Haiquan pondered for a moment and said to her:

"It's getting late, you should go to class first. There's a presentation by Xijing University at 1:30 this afternoon in the school's auditorium. Come and listen, and we can talk afterwards."

"Okay, goodbye, Director Yu."

Watching Gu Jiangyin's departing figure, Yu Haiquan's brows furrowed even more deeply.

At 1:30 p.m., Gu Jiangyin arrived at the Xijing University lecture hall as scheduled.

There were many people at the scene. After all, Xijing University is a very good school in China, especially some of its advantageous disciplines, such as military industry majors, which are basically all ranked among the top in the country.

Many people at the scene who knew her joked with her:

"Hey, Gu Jiangyin, a top student like you is trying to squeeze into this kind of school with us? Are you trying to kill us?"

Many people at the scene laughed, but Gu Jiangyin just smiled and didn't say anything.

In addition to Yu Haiquan, Xijing University also sent several other professional teachers, all of whom were very renowned and gave very professional lectures.

They introduced almost all the majors offered by the university and encouraged students to apply to Xijing University.

To be honest, Gu Jiangyin listened very attentively; she really liked many of the majors.

Ever since Director Yu read out the recruitment plan to her during the winter break of her senior year of high school, she had been hesitant.

She liked going to the place where she could fully immerse herself in scientific research and showcase her talents.

But her grandparents always hoped that she could study at Tsinghua University. As a senior alumnus of Tsinghua University, her grandfather always longed for the day when he could become an alumnus with his granddaughter.

Now that her grandparents are no longer with her, she still wants to fulfill their last wish. She envisions the day she receives her university acceptance letter, visiting her grandparents' graves and showing it to them.

As the top university in China, Tsinghua University has a keen sense of opportunity and extended an olive branch early on, allowing her to choose her major freely, whether she accepts the guaranteed admission or takes the college entrance examination.

Besides fulfilling her grandparents' long-cherished wish, there was another obsession that belonged only to her own heart:

After completing her first two years at T University, she plans to go on an exchange program to country A, to finish her studies on the campus where he is, and then pursue a doctorate. Because she wants to walk the paths he walked, feel the winds he felt, she wants to be with him…

If she accepts the recruitment, all her hopes will be dashed.

After the presentation, many students rushed forward to ask the teachers questions, and the teachers enthusiastically answered their questions.

Yu Haiquan was also surrounded by students.

Gu Jiangyin sat quietly in the back seat and waited.

After a while, Yu Haiquan finally managed to break free from the students' encirclement, and the two sat together and talked in hushed tones.

"Has anything unusual happened at your home or school recently?"

Yu Haiquan asked directly, clearly still referring to the car accident that morning.

Gu Jiangyin hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and said:

"No...no."

She still doesn't want to tell outsiders about her family affairs.

Noticing her hesitation, Yu Haiquan said earnestly:

"Gu Jiangyin, I understand your situation. Besides your talent in programming, you are also excellent in other areas. You have great potential and are a rare talent for the country, so no matter what happens, I hope I can help you."

"Um... okay, I understand."

Gu Jiangyin decided to remain silent.

Seeing that Gu Jiangyin still chose to remain silent, Yu Haiquan could say nothing more.

"Okay, focus on your exams. Be careful lately. Don't go anywhere other than school and home. I'll arrange for people to protect you."

Yu Haiquan clearly still had some doubts about the SUV incident that morning.

"Finally, we hope you will accept our offer. Room and board and tuition are all free, and there are also generous stipends."

Yu Haiquan added another sentence, and then he laughed at himself.

He had investigated Gu Jiangyin's family situation, and these conditions clearly did not appeal to her.

Gu Jiangyin replied with a smile that she would consider it carefully.

The next few days passed peacefully, with nothing particularly noteworthy happening.

The National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao) has arrived as scheduled.

After getting up early, Gu Jiangyin checked her pencil case and exam admission ticket again, put them in her schoolbag, and went downstairs.

Only Aunt Chen was setting out breakfast for her; no one else was there.

Gu Jiangyin knew that her father had been away on a business trip and had not returned, but she did not know where her mother was.

After the meal, Aunt Chen wished her good luck on her exam.

Aunt Chen was an old maid in the family. She had watched her grow up and treated her like her own child.

Gu Jiangyin thanked Aunt Chen and then took a car to the examination hall.

Gu Jiangyin's assigned examination venue was a bit far away. On the way, she told the driver that he could pick her up in the evening, but not at noon. She had booked a hotel nearby and would rest there at noon.

After getting off the bus, the area outside the examination hall was as bustling as a vegetable market, with more parents than students. In some families, several adults accompanied one child to take the exam.

Besides their parents, some even had their grandparents and maternal grandparents come; it was as exaggerated as it gets.

Parents' hearts are always full of love and worry; while their children take the exam inside, their parents wait outside in the scorching sun.

Gu Jiangyin was all alone; no one came to keep her company.

Teacher Wang saw her and waved.

"Gu Jiangyin, over here."

As Teacher Wang looked behind her, she asked, "Where are your parents?"

She quickly replied, "My parents are away on a business trip and are on their way back."

"Your parents are really carefree, still talking about business at a time like this. But, since you're doing well in your studies, they're probably relieved."

"..." Gu Jiangyin smiled but didn't say anything.

The two-day exam was successfully completed.

After the exam, Teacher Wang specifically sought out Gu Jiangyin to ask how the exam went.

She spoke frankly: "It's alright, but the chances of getting the top score might be slim."

Teacher Wang didn't say anything, just told us to stop thinking about it after the exam and relax.

Gu Jiangyin was well aware of her situation. Although she tried her best to adjust, her condition was still inevitably affected.

However, while the chances of becoming the top scorer may be slim, getting into Tsinghua University is definitely not a problem.

After the exam, several close classmates wanted to get together, and Gu Jiangyin went along.

She wasn't really in the mood to go out, but... subconsciously she didn't want to go back to that home.

She returned home at 9 p.m., and there was no one in the living room.

When they got to the second floor, they heard Shen Lan making a phone call in her room.

It's unclear who she was talking to, but the conversation was about accompanying Yueyue during her college entrance exams. She mentioned that Yueyue didn't know her yet, but she had quietly stayed with her for two days.

The door was open, and the sound was very clear. Gu Jiangyin thought: Yueyue must be that child.

.......

The day after the college entrance examination ended, Lin Rongsen told Lin Xiyue to spend some time with her mother before returning to work at the company.

I haven't been to the company for quite a while, and I've accumulated a lot of work.

Lin Rongsen was busy until 8 or 9 p.m., when everyone in the company had left.

Knowing that he was about to leave work, he sent his secretary away as well.

It started raining outside sometime during the day. Raindrops pattered against the glass, and flashes of lightning occasionally streaked across the sky, accompanied by intermittent rumbles of thunder.

This kind of weather always made him inexplicably uneasy. He packed up the documents in front of him and prepared to go home.

Suddenly, the phone rang; it was Lin Xiyue calling.

"Dad, Dad, come to the rooftop quickly, I can't hold Mom back!" Lin Xiyue cried on the phone.
