His Genius Wife is a Superstar

Xu Tian excused himself and left in a hurry for his own lunch break before Ketchup could find another reason to tease him again. Although he had to deal with the white cat AI's mischief on a daily basis, it was difficult for him to get mad at her because she was too cute and usually knew when to stop before going too far.

Another good thing about her was that she had no problems apologizing whenever she knew that she did something wrong unlike the deceptively polite Bacon who was actually an extremely vindictive little villain once someone offended him or his family members. He was especially protective of his mother Iris Long, now Mrs. Jin. Only Xu Tian's boss and lady boss could make the black cat AI reluctantly apologize to others.

After Xu Tian left, Jin Liwei headed straight to the IT Department where the employees were all enjoying their lunch buffet. Everyone welcomed him with great enthusiasm.

"President Jin, thank you very much for the delicious lunch!"

"Congratulations on your marriage, Boss Jin! Please also send our regards to Madam Jin!"

Jin Liwei couldn't stop himself from smiling whenever people referred to his wife as Madam Jin or Mrs. Jin in front of him. His usual cold demeanour would thaw a great deal. Others found him easier to approach whenever he was like this.

He joined the IT Department and ate lunch with them. A few hand-chosen people from the department were members of his personal tech team. Before meeting his wife, he had thought that his own tech team was among the top computer experts in the world but he was proven wrong.

His wife, once the legendary hacker Fantom in her past life and now the hotshot of the hacker world Drakon, was on an entirely different league than all the members of his personal tech team combined. Even his brother-in-law's own hacker team from Shadow Winds were a few levels higher. However, Shadow Winds' hacker team still couldn't touch his wife's level.

This just proved that his wife was a total genius that only less than a handful of other hackers in the world could compete with. To Jin Liwei, however, he believed that his wife was the number one hacker in the world even if she told him before that there were other formidable hackers that she called the "old guys".

After creating two extremely advanced and sophisticated AIs, their virtual cat children Ketchup and Bacon, he was certain that her skills had surpassed her previous level as Fantom in her past life.

His wife was at the peak of the hacking world. Her older brother Nikolai, now living as his Fifth Brother Lu Zihao, was also able to gather talented hackers for Shadow Winds. Jin Liwei did his best to hire what he thought to be the cream of the crop for his own personal tech team, but his wife's legendary hacking skills and his brother-in-law's handpicked hacker team made him realize that there were still many superior talents hidden in the criminal underworld who didn't want to work in the open.

It seemed that even if he was one of the wealthiest and most influential people in the business industry and was treated as a VIP almost wherever he went, there was still a big part of the world that he had no access into—the international criminal underworld.

Based on the Vetrov report, the international criminal underworld was teeming with first-class talents, hidden wealth and resources, and its own flourishing illegal economy.

It was called the "underworld" for a reason. That was because it was its own world functioning illegally hidden under the normal legal world that the majority of people were living in. And the Vetrovs had reigned supreme in their own powerful dynasty in the international criminal underworld for several generations until they were all annihilated a few years ago.

Although it had been extremely tragic, Jin Liwei was glad that his wife was able to escape the clutches of the international criminal underworld by being reborn to who she was now as Long Xiulan, a.k.a. Iris Long.

He watched his employees in the IT Department as they chatted about the latest news in the tech industry while enjoying the sumptuous buffet lunch he and his wife arranged for all of them today. The members of his personal tech team gathered around him. They were more comfortable interacting with him, the company's President-CEO, compared to the other regular members of the IT Department because they had been working for him in a personal capacity for years.

Two members acted particularly more familiar to him than the other members of his personal tech team. Gu Chang was the IT Department's Senior Database Administrator while Diao Yijue was a Senior Information Security Specialist.

These two people alongside Ketchup were the ones in charge of Jin Corporation's new security system that Iris created. They were the ones who witnessed the "birth" of Ketchup and knew the secret of Iris Long's true prowess as a hacker. They begged Iris to be their master but she turned them down, suggesting that they ask her AI daughter instead. However, the newborn Ketchup looked down on them and refused to accept them as her disciples as well.

To hide Iris Long's existence as the powerful hacker who defended Jin Corporation from the hacking attack this past summer, Jin Liwei assigned Gu Chang and Diao Yijue to pretend to be the ones who defeated Eagle and created the company's new security system. Iris personally trained the two of them to master the intricate security system in order to fool everyone into thinking that they were the creators.

As a result, Gu Chang and Diao Yijue quickly became known as the two most valuable experts in the IT Department. Their colleagues admired them. Some envied them. The new hires wanted to be like them someday, treating them as respected role models to be followed in order to be successful in this field.

Only the two of them knew the truth. They were only fake experts benefitting from a true master's unbelievable hacking skills. Regardless of what they felt about the current situation, they had no intention of revealing the truth.

How could they do such a stupid thing?

No way!
