My Toxic Ex-Wife: BOSS, Stay Away！-Chapter 546 - 554: Ban!

Shi Yi heard this and immediately became furious. She couldn’t help but sneer, "You were the one who asked me to take on this case in the first place. Now, without knowing right from wrong, you want to kick me out. Fine, very fine indeed!"

Seeing Leng Yixiu’s face darken, Shi Yi found it even more laughable. What, just because of a few words, he got so angered?

Shi Yi suddenly raised the corner of her mouth in a proud smile. "I didn’t want to be involved in this case from the beginning. Exiting it is exactly what I want. But, President Leng, I am not someone who specializes in taking the fall for others. I will find out the truth in this matter. When the truth comes out, I’ll be expecting an explanation from you, President Leng!"

Saying this, Shi Yi didn’t wait for Leng Yixiu to respond. She turned around coldly and walked out of the room with a straight back. She had done nothing wrong and had no reason to show any fear in front of Leng Yixiu.

Shen Xu had been waiting outside the door. When he saw Shi Yi’s grim face as she walked out, he could guess what happened inside.

However, after Shi Yi got into the car, Shen Xu couldn’t resist asking about the details. With an expressionless face, Shi Yi told him everything. Shen Xu was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.

"Your email got hacked? Oh my god, am I hearing things? A hacker hacking a hacker? That’s the first time I’ve heard of such a thing!"

Shi Yi leaned back in the leather chair lazily. "Indeed, it happened. It’s my fault for being careless. Recently, I’ve been zoning out, barely going online, and that gave someone an opportunity."

"Have you found out who did it?" Shen Xu knew that Shi Yi would never leak company secrets. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"Not yet, but finding the hacker shouldn’t be difficult." Shi Yi narrowed her eyes dangerously and said in a deep voice, "Anyone who dares to mess with me should weigh their own worth first."

Thinking about the incident made Shi Yi furious. She had always been the one hacking others. Who would have thought she’d be tricked like this? How could she not get angry?

Returning to her apartment, Shi Yi turned on her computer. It didn’t take much effort to find the other party’s IP. Shi Yi couldn’t help but sneer. Such a low-level tactic, yet they dared to show off in front of her. But she became more annoyed, thinking that a master hacker like her had been hacked by someone a few levels beneath her. It was almost embarrassing to admit.

However, now wasn’t the time to dwell on those thoughts. Following the trail of the other party’s IP address, Shi Yi quickly found the person who set her up.

She initially thought the culprit would be an employee of some company, at least an adult. But who would have guessed that this low-level hacker was just a ninth-grade middle school student!

This result took Shi Yi by surprise. After all, who would have thought a middle schooler would do such a thing?

Although the culprit was a middle schooler, Shi Yi was not going to let it go. This incident had quite an impact on her, so she tried hard to appear intimidating in front of the student.

"Tell me, who made you do this!"

The middle schooler, already scared, was surrounded by several burly men Shi Yi brought with her and quickly confessed, "I... I don’t know that person."

"Don’t know? How is that possible? Are you telling the truth? Do you believe I won’t have the police arrest you?"

"Sister, please! I’m not lying. I really don’t know that person! I had just bought some equipment and was short on money. That person said there was a profitable job and asked if I wanted to do it. I just had to hack an email and send a message. It didn’t seem like a big deal, so I did it."

"How did that person know you had hacker skills, and how did they contact you?"

"I used to play games in internet cafes often and would brag about my ability to hack other people’s websites. That’s how that person knew about me."

"Which internet cafe?" Shi Yi pursued further. She thought there would be surveillance cameras in the cafe, and it might be possible to catch that person through the footage.

However, maybe by coincidence, when Shi Yi went with the student to the internet cafe to check the surveillance footage, the cafe owner told her that the cameras were broken that day. Not only were the cafe’s cameras down, but even the nearby cameras were also malfunctioning.

Shi Yi could guess that all this was the work of that person. All the clues were cut off at once.

Shi Yi was annoyed. In this situation, if she couldn’t find the mastermind, handing over the middle schooler alone wouldn’t be convincing.

After all, the middle schooler didn’t have the motive to do this. Considering Shi Yi was a computer expert, being hacked by an unknown middle schooler would be hard for anyone to believe. She might even be accused of staging the hack herself to clear her name.

With the clues broken, the investigation stalled, and over at the Lei Man Company headquarters, some shareholders who had a grudge against Shi Yi couldn’t wait any longer. Some even suggested removing Shi Yi from her CEO position at Lei Man.

Shen Xu was getting worried for Shi Yi in the office and couldn’t help cursing, "Those old bastards! Always ready to kick someone when they’re down! You just had a slight issue, and they can’t wait to bring you down. Have they forgotten they owed their full pockets to you all these years?"

"Why are you more anxious than me? I haven’t been removed yet," Shi Yi said calmly. "Even if I’m removed, so what?"

"Shi Yi, that’s easy for you to say! Don’t you know the consequences? If you’re removed because of this, your reputation in the industry will be ruined. How will you survive afterward?"

Shen Xu wasn’t exaggerating. In their industry, leaking trade secrets was a grave offense. If Shi Yi was removed from Lei Man for this reason, no major IT company, be it domestic or international, would be willing to hire her. This wouldn’t just affect the IT industry; her chances at any large company would be minimal.

Shi Yi knew this well. If the issue wasn’t handled properly, her career could be over. Although she understood this, some things couldn’t be rushed.

"If I can’t stay, I’ll stop. I’ll just travel the world," she said with a leisurely tone.

"Easy for you to say. Won’t you feel aggrieved?"

"Aggrieved?" Shi Yi raised an eyebrow. "Maybe a little."

Shi Yi couldn’t help recalling the scene in Leng Yixiu’s office. That man didn’t trust her at all!
