Yao Jiamu lifted his head slowly, his eyes a bottomless black pool that looked like it could pierce through your heart. “You really want to break up?”

“Why did you think I came for today?” The girl said, taking a step back. It was undeniable that she held a dose of fear toward Yao Jiamu, his name was something akin to a legend in Third High, and it was quite a glorious time to have been his girlfriend.

When Yao Jiamu had not looked for her for a while, she had gone clubbing with her friends, and had met Young Master Wang. Young Master Wang was handsome as well as rich, generous in his spending, and she was fascinated by him. Since then, her horizons had expanded a lot.

Compared to Young Master Wang, Yao Jiamu was simply too ordinary, to the point that she didn’t want to look at him anymore.

“Alright, then let’s break up,” Yao Jiamu said, glancing at her with an indifferent expression on his face. Initially, he had only gotten a girlfriend to follow the trend. It wasn’t like he held any feelings for her or anything, he had even forgotten her existence at one point. Up till last night, when they had gone to a nightclub with Yin Shaoyuan and he saw her in another man’s embrace, the situation had made it look like he had gone to look for her specifically.

The girl snorted. “I hope you’ll be able to do as you say. Take this money, you look so pitiful, and I’m not short of it.”

Saying that, she pushed the money onto his chest, clearly not believing his words. To be honest, her looks were extraordinary, otherwise she wouldn’t have gotten the eyes of people like Young Master Wang. Having gotten used to the feeling of being pursued, she didn’t believe that Yao Jiamu would let her go so easily.

A white, delicate hand appeared in front of her suddenly, grasping her wrist and squeezing it with surprisingly great force for such a slender hand, and the girl was stunned to find that she couldn’t pull away!

“Miss,” A melodious voice spoke from behind her, revealing a perfectly sculptured face, elegant eyebrows and skin as smooth as cream, a form of beauty that took your breath away. “Don’t bully the young and poor, there will come a day when they will spread their wings and fly. At that time, won’t you regret your choice?”

The girl stared at Gu Xiqiao in silence for a few seconds, astonishment clear on her face. Having always thought that she was the fairest of all women, there was a slight feeling of shame that welled up within her as she said blankly, “Bully the young and poor? Him? Are you treating me like a fool?”

After being by Young Master Wang’s side for these few days, she had seen how many people looked at her with jealousy and admiration in their eyes, and she had enjoyed the taste of being at the center of attention. She was haughty and arrogant, obviously looking down on Gu Xiqiao and lumping her to be the same type as Yao Jiamu, her gaze sharp as she said, “Are you jealous of what I have, doing this so that I will leave Young Master Wang?”

Having her good intentions thrown back in her face, Gu Xiqiao didn’t feel like saying anything more, and gave her a smile, her eyes shifted slightly. “There’s a sinister presence on your person today, you’ll likely be dumped.”

“You’re crazy!” The girl exclaimed, glaring at Gu Xiqiao.

Gu Xiqiao pretended to sigh loudly. “It’s true, and I had wanted to help you avoid this disaster.”

“Ugly bitch, ugly bitch!” Xixi, who was sitting on Gu Xiqiao’s shoulder, pretended to be a parrot again, calling out to the girl.

The girl’s face turned red with anger, she wasn’t about to fight a bird, and turned to leave when the phone in her bag started to ring. Her face lit up with joy, picking it up and talk to the person on the other side and looking at the two of them at the same time.

Gu Xiqiao and Yao Jiamu: What is she so proud of? Is being kept by someone else an achievement in life?

Yao Jiamu was disinterested in the entire thing, and was about to call out to Gu Xiqiao so they could leave, but she gave him a dazzling laugh. “Wait a bit, let’s watch the show.”

Not long later, the Young Master Wang that the girl had talked about had come. He drove a convertible sports car, looked extremely attractive, and moved gracefully to stand in front of them.

The girl immediately waltzed up to him, sweetly calling out to him, “Young Master Wang, I already said you don’t have to get me, I can drive myself.”

Young Master Wang responded lazily, and his eyes fell on the girl who was standing to the side, and his entire person changed suddenly, with an enthusiastic look on his face. “Miss Gu, why are you here?”

Seeing Gu Xiqiao’s mesmerizing eyes on him that held a hint of confusion in them, Wang Jun began to explain, “That time in the clubhouse, you saved us! My name is Wang Jun, but you may not know me!”

Wang Jun’s expression of excitement and admiration stunned the girl, it was the first time she had seen him treat someone else with such respect and gratitude. All of those second-generation rich upstart families aimed for the sky, and for them to worship someone was practically a dream, but here he was, treating this girl like he was her dog. Who the hell was she?

Gu Xiqiao squinted her eyes. She vaguely remembered, the first time Yin Shaoyuan had taken her to the clubhouse. She had wrestled a gun from the pocket of a waitress, now that she thought about it, it was actually… quite a violent time.

Wang Jun got even more excited when he noticed that Gu Xiqiao had recalled the incident, being the second generation of a rich family, they were extremely proud of their lineage. Even if they were faced with Yin Shaoyuan, he wouldn’t bend over so easily, what they feared more was the terrifying force of the Yin family behind Yin Shaoyuan’s back.

Gu Xiqiao was different. Even though she was the goddaughter of the Yin family, her position didn’t give her much prestige. What they admired about her was her genius intelligence, her impossible results and her unusual talents. Wang Jun was among those who had been impressed by her own skills.

“That, Miss Gu, may I shake your hand? To receive some of that magical aura…” Wang Jun asked cautiously.

The girl who had been standing to the side in a daze finally understood what was going on. This Miss Gu that she had been insulting was an important figure, someone even Young Master Wang didn’t dare to provoke. Thinking back to all the things that she had just said, she wanted to bang her head against the wall, the regret in her overflowing! When did Yao Jiamu meet these big shots?

When Gu Xiqiao’s eye flickered over to her again, the girl wanted to dig a hole and bury herself in it. She was shocked, afraid, and regretful. Afraid that with one word, Miss Gu would have Young Master Wang dump her, and making her regret leaving Yao Jiamu. She wondered if she hadn’t left, would he still have met these people?

Fortunately for her, Gu Xiqiao didn’t say a word the entire time, and finally left with Yao Jiamu.

The girl let out a sigh of relief, and Wang Jun turned to her with a glowing smile on his face. “This car is for you, treat it as a break up compensation, I never owe any of my girlfriends.”

What kind of person was Wang Jun?

He had grown up in an environment where people were easily corrupted, how could he not understand what had transpired here? Upsetting his idol, that was like stepping on God’s head!

As soon as the girl heard that, she jumped in shock, turning around to see Young Master Wang’s sports car driving away, leaving behind only a cloud of gray smoke. Thinking of the intoxicating feeling of being revered for the past few days, she suddenly felt extremely remorseful.

Gu Xiqiao had walked and turned a corner before coming to a stop, handing the painting in her hand to Yao Jiamu, and taking out a brown pill at the same time.

The blue form of the system spirit was floating around Yao Jiamu, Thinking about how you exchanged a Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill for him, it’s a bit painful. With his aptitude, coupled together with this insanely awesome pill, if he doesn’t get into Fleet Foot in the future, I’m going to chop him to pieces!

Gu Xiqiao had exchanged the cleansing pill after much deliberation, and it had cost her quite a sum of points. These pills were used to improve the aptitude of their skills, and were extinct on earth, and only Gu Xiqiao was able to obtain it from the system. If word ever got out that she was in the possession of them, all hell would probably break loose.

“I’ll give it to Shen Nianzhi,” Yao Jiamu said, carefully accepting the painting and the pill. The current him naturally didn’t know how defying reality the things that Gu Xiqiao gave him were, but later when he understood the significance of the pill, when his ancient martial arts advances without any problems and his physical condition and aptitude improves by a mile, at the time, he would truly be dumbfounded.

Gu Xiqiao stayed idle a few more days. Right up till Mu Zong returned and requested for her to drop by the company, stating that the company was welcoming a new ally, the great god hacker?

The recruitment of this talent was good news, he would be able to further the research on the advanced software provided by the system, and bring more breakthroughs to the company.

Listening to Mu Zong’s words, this great god was a bit arrogant, insisting on meeting the person behind the software and refusing to cooperate obediently.

The two parties met in a private room, when the attendant opened the door for her, Gu Xiqiao saw a young man sitting beside Mu Zong, and she was not surprised at how young he was.

“Miss Gu, you’re here.” Mu Zong, Wang Bo, and Luo Wenlang stood up to greet her when she walked in, seemingly like they held a great amount of respect for this girl.

Yu Ning thought the scene to be a bit strange, but before he could ponder further on the matter, he saw the girl walking towards him, a dazzling smile on her face as she said, “Yu Ning, real name Ning Jiu, currently studying in America, and recently received a PhD in computer science. Oh, I also have a record of your venture into the national base of America, do you want to have a look at it?”

He didn’t even have the chance to open his mouth yet, and was dumbstruck by the information that she had dumped on him. As a hacker, he knew that his ability to cover his tracks was out of this world, even being able to hack into the national network to change his name and fake his identity. Everyone in the hacking world was aware that there was a God Lo, but nobody knew who he was, because no one could see through the fake identity that he had created, and this was also one of his pride.

But, never in his wildest imagination would he have thought that a girl that he just met for the first time in person would be able to list down all his details with a smile on her face.

“He… Hello.” Yu Ning was still in a state of shock, unable to react, just reaching out robotically to shake her hand. Was his many years of hidden secrets so easy to see through?

However, he didn’t feel dismayed at all, on the contrary, he was feeling extremely excited. According to the several software that he had studied. The technology and coding in it were significantly advanced. He faintly felt in his heart that this was a sign that a new era of the internet was approaching.
