19: Chapter 19 He is a top hacker
The car drove directly into the Siji Yunding residential area. Song Yuan knew that Shiyu had a house in Beijing, but he didn't expect the environment of her residential area to be so good.
He felt a deep respect for this girl who was working hard on her own in Beijing; it was truly not easy for her to buy such a house in a place where every inch of land was precious.
In a trance, he thought of Lin Xueyao again. She never worked hard herself, only encouraged him to work hard and tirelessly, like an ox or a horse, to provide her with a good life.
“Song Yuan, you must always remember that you have a girlfriend. You must work hard, save money, and marry me!”
“Song Yuan, for our wedding house, I want a downtown location, no less than one hundred square meters, otherwise my mother will not agree to me marrying you!”
“Song Yuan, you need to prepare 500,000 for the bride price, as well as money for jewelry, clothes, and gifts for my relatives. Don’t let me lose face in front of my relatives!”
…
These were Lin Xueyao's exact words. Song Yuan now felt like laughing when he thought of them. Was Lin Xueyao still fantasizing that he would beg her to marry him four days later?
Song Yuan scoffed inwardly. He was always emotionally stable and wouldn't argue with a woman; that would make him look cheap.
Even without Shiyu, he wouldn't go back to her.
Song Yuan parked the car, carrying the things he brought from his parents' house, as well as his own suitcase, and walked with Shiyu towards the apartment building.
After walking a few steps, Shiyu reached out a hand to him. Song Yuan's mind suddenly froze, unable to turn, not understanding her intention. Did she mean to hold hands?
Song Yuan put the tote bag into his other hand, placing it with the suitcase, and his free hand directly clasped hers. The delicate, soft touch in his palm made his heart leap, and the chaotic night unseasonably came to mind.
It was this restless little hand that unbuckled his belt, slid down his abs, randomly grasped him, and then, with clumsy movements, didn't know what to do next.
Song Yuan felt his throat tighten and his blood rush. He was glad he wore loose pants today, and since it was night, she wouldn't notice his current embarrassment.
Shiyu, held by him, also paused her steps abruptly. She had just seen that he was carrying many things and wanted to help him share the load, not expecting him to misunderstand.
But at this point, pulling her hand away would make both of them awkward, so she didn't explain and let him lead her like that.
Shiyu observed Song Yuan from the side. The man's tall figure walked half a step ahead, leading her, and in the night, it inexplicably gave her a sense of security.
She had taken over Gus Group for three years and had never relied on anyone since she was young. In the business world, everyone said she had thunderous methods, giving her the nickname 'Female Demon King.' No one knew that in the dead of night, she also needed a shoulder to lean on.
It was just that she wouldn't expose her vulnerable side in front of others.
Shiyu silently felt that perhaps a flash marriage with this man wasn't bad.
The two entered the house, holding hands.
This was the first time Shiyu and Song Yuan had been to this house, but she had instructed her assistant Ms. Xu to make arrangements in advance. All daily necessities were prepared, and her personal belongings had also been moved in.
Only then did Song Yuan reluctantly let go of her hand. He found two pairs of slippers in the shoe cabinet. While changing his shoes, he asked her,
“Where should I put my things?”
The subtext was asking her how they would sleep tonight, as they were still unfamiliar with each other. Since Song Yuan was moving in with her, he should first ask for the girl's thoughts.
Shiyu was momentarily stunned by the question. She raised her hand and pointed randomly,
“Just put them in the master bedroom for now. You can put them away yourself…”
She didn't even know which room was the master bedroom, and saying more would expose her.
After changing his shoes, Song Yuan carried his suitcase and walked towards the direction Shiyu pointed, surveying the house along the way. It had a regular layout, with a master bedroom, a guest bedroom, and another room converted into a study.
She told him to put his things in the master bedroom, which meant they would sleep together tonight, right?
Song Yuan felt his heart rate uncharacteristically accelerate. On second thought, they were already legally married. Let alone sleeping in the same room, anything they did would be normal.
It was just that others dated first and then married, while they had reversed the order: marriage first, then love.
Shiyu stared at his back for a moment, then her phone in her bag rang. She answered it, and Ms. Xu's anxious voice came from the other end,
“General Manager Gu, something's happened! Our company's internal network has been attacked by a competitor again. Currently, the other party hasn't cracked the core data, but at this speed, it's only a matter of two hours. If the financial documents are leaked, then, then… then it will be a huge disaster!”
Shiyu's expression turned serious. Recently, Gus Group was preparing to enter the real estate market, which had affected many people's interests. She could roughly guess who wanted to bring down Gus's.
Since she had decided to do it, she had nothing to fear.
It was just that she hadn't expected the other party to resort to such underhanded methods. Since she couldn't produce evidence, she had no reason to take action against them.
The important thing now was to protect the company's network; the group's core data and various confidential documents could not be made public.
Shiyu asked,
“What is the company's security department doing?”
“General Manager Gu, all employees in the security department have been called back to work overtime. This time, it's a master, and currently, no one can handle it.
If we could find the hacker James, this matter would be simple, but James is just an English name. No one knows his real name, let alone how to contact him.”
Shiyu rubbed her temples and hung up the phone. After a few seconds, she called her unaccomplished younger brother,
“A-Yuan, do you know any hackers you can recommend to me? The company's internal network has been attacked.”
Gu Shiyuan's tone was surprised,
“No way, Sis? Tonight is your wedding night, and you're really abandoning your brother-in-law to deal with work?”
“Stop talking nonsense, hurry up!”
Gu Shiyuan had been suppressed by his older sister's aura since childhood. The moment she yelled, he became obedient,
“Alright, alright, don't worry. I know a little. I'll take a look first to see what's going on.”
Shiyu hung up the phone and went directly into the study.
In the master bedroom, Song Yuan hung his clothes in the walk-in closet. He hadn't expected Shiyu to be so thoughtful, specifically leaving him a wardrobe.
Looking at his black, gray, and white clothes hanging next to her light-colored dresses, he felt a unique warmth in his heart.
On his phone, in the three-person group chat, Gu Shiyuan sent a message,
[LOL, I guessed right! My sister left my brother-in-law on their wedding night to deal with work. My heart aches for my brother-in-law for a second, hahahaha… ]
Song Yuan put away his phone and came out of the master bedroom. Passing by the study, he heard Shiyu on the phone. He vaguely heard a few sensitive words, like ‘hacker’ and ‘attack.’
The study door was open. Shiyu looked very anxious, as if she had encountered trouble.
Song Yuan stopped and waited for her to hang up before asking,
“Did you encounter a hacker attack?”
Shiyu nodded with a crestfallen expression.
Song Yuan retrieved his laptop.
“If you don’t mind, let me try?”
Shiyu's eyelids twitched. She had almost forgotten that the person beside her was also a top student who graduated with a computer science degree.
