My Evil Genius Wife

Chapter 296 - Hide And Seek (I)



The small studio room was pitch black, the windows were shut and impenetrable curtains were breaking all contacts from the outer world, not even allowing the sunlight to enter the darkroom. 

In a dark, small studio room, the light emanating from the computer screen and the neon lights from the mechanical keyboard was the only source of light. 

The heavy rain was pouring outside and the pitter-patter sound of the heavy rainfall was blocked by the rock music playing in the headphones. 

A man, who was in his mid-20s was sitting in front of the computer; wearing a black plain t-shirt and his red superman boxers. He was wearing round, thick-framed black glasses, and his tousled hair was covering his forehead. 

His eyes were fixated on the computer screen as his fingers were flying on the keyboard, resonating a tak-tak sound in the dead-quiet room. 

" Ah, what the heck? Seems like everyone has tightened their security walls after the last incident." He frowned, upon thinking about the defeat last time. 

The last time, he finally managed to penetrate the main system of Gu Enterprises and was planning to extract a lot of mo...reward from them when someone beat him to it and blocked him from accessing the system.

After accessing the main system, he was collecting the information that could be beneficial to blackmail them and was about to demand a hefty reward in exchange for the \'precious\' information when from nowhere someone started to block his advances. 

While he was busy eating his cup noodles, someone was going against him and was fixing the bugs one by one. And by the time he finished eating and came to check the situation, he realized that he lost contact with the system.

He was defeated and that too, very badly. The person who fought against him even left a message for him on his computer. 

  It was an emoji, A laughing emoji. 

He was outraged to see the boldness of the person who not only defeated him but also dared to mock him. No matter how outraged he was, he had to agree that the man was quite skillful when it came to hacking. 

After all, not anyone can go against him in technical stuff and beat him in this game. 

Otherwise, there was no way that he could have blocked him so early. Not only that, but the person also tightened the security walls of the company, disabling him to penetrate their system again. H

-

He is the number one hacker in the underground hacking world. He has won countless hacking and game battles and it\'s the basics for everyone in this hidden industry to know his name. 

\'NUMBER 4\'

However, he doesn\'t hack into other\'s systems to harm them but for thrill and fun. He simply hacks into their system and asks for mon...reward from them for detecting their flaws. 

His intentions are clear. He is just helping to tighten their security walls and asks for money in exchange for detecting their bugs. After they fulfill his demands, he quietly backs out and never does harm to them again. 

He isn\'t interested in doing anything illegal with it, however, if they don\'t abide by his wishes and don\'t pay him, he knows whom to sell the information to and who can make good use of it. 

Because of his clean character and intentions, and great skills, he didn\'t get himself into any police case yet and was leading a very quiet-boring life. 

It\'s because all of his preys were too afraid to go against him and kindly paid him for his efforts, that too, generously. Till now, nothing has gone wrong and there wasn\'t a single failure in his thrilling path, except the Gu Enterprises. 

-

The man took a bite of his instant noodles before turning to his screen. " Since I failed to attack Gu Corporations last time, should I go for...Hmm...J Corporations this time?" 

"The CEO of this company seems to have quite a lot of secrets." He wondered and started to search for some information on this company that was gaining popularity these days. 

" His wife has filed a divorce case? Hmm, if I get some dirt on him, I can easily extract money from him. Should I go for it?" He pondered as he checked the details of the company as his next prey. 

As he was lost in his thoughts, his system started to act strangely. The cursor on the screen started to move automatically and started to move fervently, without him touching the mouse. 

Soon enough, his computer screen also started to flicker and the volume of the music playing in his headphones also increased. 

" AHh…" He had to remove the headphones that he was wearing when the music suddenly reached the fullest volume, hurting him. 

" What is this? Wh..what\'s happening to it?" He was baffled to see his computer acting strangely. It has never happened before, what\'s happening now? 

If the system was hacked, it should have alerted him by making an alarm sound. He has set it accordingly. But it didn\'t. 

Who is this monster who not only took control of his system but also turned off the security alarm? Who the hell is he? 

He gritted his teeth and tried to take charge of things. But no matter how he tried to take control, it didn\'t work. He could feel that someone had hacked his system and was playing with him. 

" F*ck!!" He grumbled in frustration. 

[ BOO HOO!! SURPRISE!!]

A deep frown appeared on his forehead when a message window popped up on his screen. 

" What the…"

Before he could do anything, the content of the message changed, [ WE MEET AGAIN!!]

" We meet again? What does he mean by this? Who is this crazy bastard?" He clenched his fists in irritation. 

He is the top hacker in the underground hacking world and here he was being played by a newbie loser. How humiliating!!

If anyone finds out about this, his reputation will be tarnished and no one will take his words seriously anymore. 

-

[ CURIOUS ABOUT ME? WELL, DO YOU REMEMBER THIS?] The message changed and along with the line, a laughing emoji was attached to it. It was the same emoji that the person had sent him after defeating him when he was trying to hack Gu Corporations system. 

\' So it\'s the same person.\' He frowned. But what does he want with him?

  If he is also a hacker, shouldn\'t he simply go and find his prey rather than playing hide and seek with him? 

Before he could assess the situation, his computer screen started to flicker violently and everything blacked out. However, after a few seconds, it blinked again and a white page opened. 

It showed some information. However, upon reading the contents of the message, he felt a thunderbolt striking him on the head. 

[ PSEUDONYM - NUMBER 4 (Meh, what an unlucky name!!)

REAL NAME - HU JUN

AGE - 24 YEARS

EDUCATION - SOFTWARE ENGINEERING

OCCUPATION - UNEMPLOYED

RELATIONSHIP STATUS - DUMPED/ COMPLICATED 

HOMETOWN - NING CITY

LIKES - GAMING AND MONEY

DISLIKES - COCKROACHES. (WELL, ME TOO)]

His pupils wavered as he was left speechless seeing all of his information on the screen. Not only that, the other person has added short notes too, looking down on his pseudonym and dislikes cockroaches. 

What is the actual f*ck? No one...no one has ever played this kind of prank on him. 

He is not only confident about his skills but is also sure that no one can beat him when it comes to such stuff. He was like an immortal deity in the world of hacking. However, this person not only hacked his system but also found out all of his personal information. 

The room was air-conditioned but he was sweating profusely. He was lost and was speechless in this sudden situation. If this person revealed his personal information and his past hacking information to the police, he won\'t be able to show his face to his parents. 

He will be punished severely and forget about getting a reputed job, he won\'t be able to get married in the future. 

Everything...Everything will be ruined. 

He gulped in nervousness and clicked a few times on his mouse but it was futile. No matter what he did, he couldn\'t do anything on his computer. 

~Click~

His eyes lit up when a two-sided message window opened on the screen. [ IF YOU WANT TO KNOW ANYTHING, YOU CAN ASK HERE.] 

He pursed his lips and with trembling hands, he typed in the message box and sent it to the other party. 

_

Xu Nuan, who was sitting in her living room with her back against the couch, her lips curled up in a smirk at the message which popped on the screen. 

[ WHO ARE YOU? WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME? WHAT DO YOU WANT EXACTLY?] 

She chuckled seeing his desperation and drank a few sips of her cold beer before replying to him. 

_

[ WHO AM I? DID YOU FORGOT ME ALREADY? DON\'T YOU REMEMBER HOW YOU FAILED TO EXTRACT MONEY FROM GU ENTERPRISES? IT WAS ALL BECAUSE OF ME.]

[ AH, I DIDN\'T INTRODUCE MYSELF, DID I?]

[ I AM….DUGUN...DUGUN...DUN….\'MOON\'. YOU CAN CALL ME MOON, A MOON THAT EMANATES A COOL LIGHT. BUT FOR YOU, IT WILL BE DARKNESS.]
