Ex-wife becomes the world's number one hacker

"I accept the recruitment." Gu Jiangyin looked up, wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and calmly looked at Yu Haiquan.

"I came to talk to you about this."

Yu Haiquan was slightly taken aback.

For the past six months, the girl had consistently declined his invitations, citing that she "needed time to consider it." Her decisiveness at this moment surprised him somewhat.

"Are you sure?" he asked instinctively, a smile already playing in his eyes.

"Aren't you going to reconsider?"

"I'm sure." Gu Jiangyin's fingers tightened on her knees. "I want to leave the capital, the sooner the better."

"Well then, welcome to the Saikyo Yamato Base. I assure you, it will maximize your potential and help you become a person who makes a great contribution to society."

At this point, the joy in his eyes could no longer be concealed, and even his voice unconsciously became a little lighter.

Finally, he recruited this long-awaited genius into his ranks, and he felt his back straighten up considerably.

Gu Jiangyin smiled bitterly to herself. She was just an ordinary person who was a slightly better student, and programming was just a hobby of hers. How could she make a huge contribution? She had never thought of herself as anything special.

However, Director Yu's words of encouragement did make her feel a little better.

"But you are a minor now. Shouldn't you discuss your college application with your parents?" Yu Haiquan was worried about her family again, fearing that something unexpected might happen.

If her parents disagree with her applying to Xijing University, it will be quite troublesome to communicate with them.

"I'll be eighteen in September," Gu Jiangyin said, lowering her eyes. "I can make my own decisions."

Her voice softened, "Besides... I don't know who to talk to now."

Yu Haiquan thought about it, nodded, and agreed that this was a good idea.

It's still unknown whether her family situation is related to the car accident. It's better to avoid trouble. Gu Jiangyin's safety is the most important thing right now, so it's best not to say anything.

"Director Yu, I have another request."

"you say."

"I want to report for duty as soon as possible. I want to leave the capital as soon as possible. That home... I can't stay here any longer." She lowered her head, her voice growing softer and softer.

"Okay," Yu Haiquan replied readily.

"That can be arranged. The results of the college entrance exam will be released in two days. Once the results are out, you can apply for the early admission program at Xijing University. You can choose any major. The specific major will be adjusted based on your situation after you get there. Besides, you will have a lot of courses to study, so you won't be limited by your major."

He leaned forward slightly and lowered his voice, saying, "Being a student at Xijing University is just your outward identity. What you will learn will not be limited to Xijing University. The research base will create a customized curriculum just for you."

"Gu Jiangyin, get ready, your university life is destined to be anything but easy." Yu Haiquan smiled slyly.

"After filling out the college application, we set off. These few days have given me time to make a series of arrangements, and I also need to submit reports to my superiors and go through the procedures."

"Okay, Director Yu, I have other things to take care of before I leave, so I'll take my leave now." Gu Jiangyin stood up to say goodbye.

Watching the girl's slender figure disappear through the doorway, Yu Haiquan was filled with mixed emotions.

At only seventeen, she has to face the world alone. The long road ahead of her is all she can do on her own. It's heartbreaking to think about.

He rubbed his face vigorously.

On second thought, having no ties to the outside world is actually just right for working on the front lines of secrecy.

Ultimately, it's hard to say whether this is a blessing or a curse.

On her way back, Gu Jiangyin called Teacher Wang first. "Teacher, I need to leave Beijing because of an urgent matter. I'm afraid I'll have to ask the vice class monitor to take care of the graduation reunion."

Although somewhat surprised, Teacher Wang readily agreed. She also reminded her not to forget the deadlines for checking scores and submitting university applications.

Gu Jiangyin responded softly, her fingertips unconsciously clenching the hem of her clothes.

After hanging up, she took a deep breath and dialed the training institution's number again.

"Teacher, I'm sorry to inform you so suddenly. Due to some family matters, I will no longer be able to teach starting tomorrow."

She paused for a moment, then said, "You don't need to settle the tuition fees for these ten days or so. Consider it compensation for my unilateral breach of contract."

The teacher on the other end of the phone was very sorry, but still gently asked her to go and complete the resignation procedures the next day.

Gu Jiangyin gazed at the last rays of sunset on the street corner, nodded gently, and said, "Okay."

After taking the subway to an electronics market near her home, Gu Jiangyin got her waterlogged phone repaired.

After it was repaired, I looked through it and found that most of the data was still there. It was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune!

After finishing all that, Gu Jiangyin chose to walk home.

Her neighborhood has always been a place where she spends most of her time. She walked and looked around, wondering if she would ever have the chance to come back again.

These places hold her memories of 17 years of life, and every memory contains the image of her grandparents. She wants to etch these memories into her mind and take them with her.

The sycamore trees lining both sides of the road grew taller and taller, their tops gradually closing in; these trees were older than her.

There's a farmers' market in the alley ahead. Whenever Aunt Chen goes to buy groceries, my daughter loves to go along and play. Grandma is worried about her, so she goes with her too.

While others look at fruits, vegetables, fresh fish and shrimp, Gu Jiangyin doesn't. She likes to see if the shopkeepers on both sides have changed hands, which shop is doing well, and which shop is not doing well.

Grandma laughed so hard, saying she felt like a high-ranking official on an inspection tour.

After that, every time Aunt Chen went grocery shopping, she would ask her, "Is Minister Gu going to inspect the area today?"

She would usually nod very seriously and say, "Yes."

Then, with his hands behind his back, he strolled from one end of the market to the other.

The street you turn left on ahead is a commercial street with all kinds of restaurants and entertainment options.

There was a Sichuan restaurant that was my grandfather's favorite. He was from Chengdu and loved spicy food.

Gu Jiangyin also became a fan of spicy food, especially spicy crayfish, which she never got tired of eating.

Less than 400 meters down the next street, a quiet villa area stands nestled among the green trees. That is her home, the place where she has lived for 17 years.

Once inside the residential compound, Gu Jiangyin glanced at her phone; it was only a little past 9 p.m. She didn't want to go home, so she slowly strolled around the compound.

This used to be her territory. Thinking back to her early career at the company, those flamboyant and unrestrained youthful days, she feared she would never have the chance to reminisce about them again.

Back then, everyone in the neighborhood knew about Commander Gu; even the adults jokingly called her Commander.

"Commander Gu, your grandma is calling you for dinner."

"Commander, have you finished your homework? Come out and play."

"Commander, where are your soldiers? How come you're all alone?"

She never hesitated to answer questions, always answering them frankly and openly.

Strolling to a pavilion, Gu Jiangyin sat on a bench.

Hugging my knees, I gazed at the sky above. A crescent moon hung in the sky, and the stars filled the heavens. I couldn't tell which one was Grandma and which one was Grandpa.

When I was little, my grandfather often came to this pavilion to play chess, sometimes not even returning home when it was time to eat. Even when my grandmother called him, he wouldn't answer.

But every time Gu Jiangyin came to visit, Grandpa would immediately say goodbye to his chess friends, smile, and take her little hand home.

Around 11 p.m., when everyone was probably asleep, she slowly walked home and tiptoed upstairs.

Back in her room, she found a larger backpack and prepared to pack the things she needed to take with her.

He pulled a locked suitcase from under the bed, unlocked the combination lock, and took out a jewelry box that was neither too big nor too small.

This is a treasure she must take with her; it was given to her by her grandmother before she passed away.

Grandma was already very ill at the time, and she was breathing heavily. She told her to keep it safe, not to lose it, not to give it to anyone, and to check it carefully.

At the time, she was completely unaware of the seriousness of the problem and wishfully thought that her grandmother would get better.

Maybe things will get better tomorrow. Subconsciously, she simply can't accept that her beloved grandmother has left her.

This is an exquisite box, made of deep blue velvet with subtle patterns in the same color scheme, giving it an extremely valuable appearance. It also has a combination lock.

She has opened it countless times since her grandmother passed away. She opens it every time she misses her grandmother.

Especially in the six months after her grandmother passed away, she slept with it almost every night, holding it as if it were her grandmother.

Gu Jiangyin opened the box, and the contents came into view.

A stack of photos records all her historical moments from childhood to adulthood: birth photos, full-moon photos, first time rolling over, first time crawling, first time walking... all the way to high school entrance and various award moments.

Especially the photos of her first birthday celebration, where Gu Jiangyin picked up a wooden sword from a dazzling array of objects. Her grandmother smiled and said that her granddaughter would become a great general in the future.

At the very bottom is a photo of her grandparents and herself. All three of them are smiling so beautifully, especially the little girl sitting in the middle, with her mouth wide open and her eyes smiling into two crescent moons.

A set of emerald necklace and ring, her grandmother's favorite, was quite valuable. Whenever Jiang Yin picked them up, she seemed to still feel her grandmother's presence.

There was also a small brocade box containing a jade bracelet, which was a family heirloom of the Gu family, but her grandmother gave it to her.

He caressed each item and examined each one closely.

She was very familiar with every object, but each time she looked at them closely, her restless heart was gently soothed and gradually calmed down.

Suddenly, she noticed a gap between the inner box and the box wall, suggesting that the inner box and the box were not a single piece, and that the inner box could be removed.

This was something she had never noticed before, despite opening it so many times before. She was just about to try lifting the inner box outwards.

Just then, there was a knock on the door...
