My Evil Genius Wife-Chapter 489 - 489 The Eagle Eye III
489 The Eagle Eye III
After Feng Sheng reached out to them through email, Hu Jun asked her to look at his work request mail because it was a bit more unusual than the rest.
Hu Jun is in charge of taking the projects and decides if he wants to work on them or not. However, after seeing Feng Sheng’s email, he felt the need to discuss this matter with Xu Nuan first before making any decision.
Because, unlike the other companies who were asking them to reconstruct their security system or check the bug in their firewall security, this person was asking them to discontinue the surveillance system and the things that they were asking were quite complicated.
He asked her because it was a case where illegal hacking was needed. After starting to work with Xu Nuan, he stopped that kind of work and only takes projects that come under ethical hacking only.
That’s why he was in dilemma whether to take this project which pays a lot or to stick to his work ethic and reject this offer.
When Xu Nuan looked at the request mail, she was surprised to find out that the person who came to them for work was none other than Mr. Secretary.
Why does he need to discontinue someone’s surveillance system without them finding out about it? Strange!
She wanted to ask Han Zihao about it but out of curiosity, she decided to agree to his request because she wanted to know what Han Zihao and Feng Sheng were plotting.
However, she was shaken when she found out that Han Zihao had hired them to help Grandfather Jiang to get out of Jiang Ru’s surveillance.
.....
That girl has been keeping an eye on the old man since last year and has been recording all of his movements.
Why was she stalking their Grandfather since the last year? Why?
It was at that moment that she realized in what circumstances her Grandfather had been living all this time. How hard it must be for him to live with Jiang Ru despite knowing that she has been keeping an eye on him.
How lonely and disturbed he must have felt while living together with her under the same roof?
Here she was busy searching for her happiness and starting her new life, meanwhile, her Grandfather was struggling to just survive and find justice for her granddaughter.
Every moment in that house must be suffocating! When she thinks about it, she cannot help but get teary-eyed because of it.

” I still cannot believe that you’re the CEO of the cyber company and knew about the whole plan all along. Why didn’t you say anything to me then?”
Han Zihao was in disbelief as everything was sounding like a ridiculous fate to him. How can she not tell him about her other company?
More than that, how can she be aware of everything since the start and not tell him about it? It must be hard for her to bear everything alone.
He feels like a fool now that he was trying so hard to hide things from her. f𝚛e𝗲𝔀e𝚋𝑛o𝘃𝒆𝗹.c𝗼𝒎
If she found out the truth so soon, why did she not utter anything to him? He was hiding the truth from her so that she would not get hurt and get stressed about it.
If she had told him the truth, things wouldn’t have been much harder for her.
Xu Nuan pursed her lips and felt a guilty conscience when facing his question and replied, ” I am sorry. I wanted to tell you the truth, however, I lost the timing to do so.”
“At first, I was simply curious about what Mr. Secretary and You were planning to do that he made such a request. That’s why I accepted the project. However, later I stumbled upon some bitter truths that were also a shock to me.” She said while talking about when she found out that it was Jiang Ru who planned her accident and not Hao Mei.
Until now, she was assuming that it was Hao Mei who did everything. That’s why she hated her more than anyone.
However, it was a complete surprise to her that it was not Hao Mei but Jiang Ru.
” While I was working on the project, things kept getting intense as we were finding the evidence and new surprises one by one. On the other hand, Grandmother Han was planning the wedding preparations. Everything was so chaotic that I missed the right opportunity to tell you the truth and decided to reveal things to you later.”
Han Zihao nodded in understanding. Things were indeed chaotic, that’s why he decided to hide things from her as well.
After a moment of silence, he asked her again, “Then…what about the company? Why didn’t you tell me about it earlier?” He asked.
Xu Nuan scratched her neck awkwardly and revealed, “Erm….It was because even I didn’t know that things would come this far.”
“I couldn’t say anything to you because I never imagined that things would blow up to this level.”
” I only started this company to gather some funds for my entertainment company and nothing else. Who would have imagined that this company would blow up in the business field like this?” She said while avoiding his gaze.
Well, her secret wasn’t a small secret after all. He was trying so hard to hide the truth from her so that she doesn’t get stressed about it.
However, who would have thought that she would find out about it before he could get the chance to tell her about it himself?
” Are you boasting about your business achievements?” Han Zihao scoffed seeing the way she was low-key praising her business achievements in front of him.
” Hehe! It’s not like that.” She shook her head and upon seeing his frowning expression, she passed him a glass of water to calm down. ” Here. Drink this and calm down.”
” You should not get angry. It’s not good for your health.” She said while trying to pacify his disappointment.
Han Zihao glared at her with a frown but took the glass of water from her anyway and gulped down everything in one go.
After he drank the water, he put down the glass on the table and took a deep breath before turning to her again, “Don’t tell me, are you the one who finds out about all those documents and those videos? Because we only commissioned them to discontinue the surveillance system. But they provided evidence against Jiang Ru and Jiang Yahui as well. Were you the one behind everything?” He asked cautiously.
“Also, about the press conference controversy, were you the one behind it as well?” He asked behind a frown.
“Huh? What…controversy?”
“Are you the one who revealed the videos of Qin Ju and Hao Mei at the press conference last year? Because now that I think about it, I saw you doing something on the laptop when you were hospitalized before that. The way you were working on the laptop, you looked like a professional.”
” Not only that, but the tone of those threats displayed on the screen also sounded sassy, just like you.”
” Tell me honestly, did you only establish the cyber security company or do you also know how to do this sort of work?” He asked suspiciously.
How can someone decide to start a cybersecurity company randomly? There must be a strong reason behind it.
Xu Nuan: “.....”
She was speechless by the way he was connecting all the dots one by one. How can he remember something that happened a year ago so clearly?
How come his memory is so strong? She wondered.
Xu Nuan coughed and cleared her throat to dissipate her awkwardness and said, ” Well, You’re right. Although I have employees to work for me, it was me who took on this project and solved the mystery.”
” Because I didn’t want anyone else to know about it. However, who would have imagined that I would find so many things on the way.” She said with a sigh.
She peeked a glance at him and blinked hesitantly before continuing, “Also…*Ahem*, I was the one who revealed the videos of Qin Ju and Hao Mei together at the press conference.”
” Now before you think bad about me, let me make things clear to you. I know how to do such things for a long time.” She panicked and explained to him further.
” After leaving Jiang Mansion and before joining QY Entertainment, I used to play online games and participated in underground esports competitions to earn my pocket money. While living in the company of techno-savvy people, I also learned a few things about it. I have been into this stuff for a long time. I didn’t learn this to take revenge on them in particular.” She revealed, worried that he would think negatively about her.
“Also, both of them weren’t saints either. They were fooling me for so long and even wanted to rob my wealth. How can I let them trample all over me so easily? I am not a nice person.” She explained her stance confidently.
