His Genius Wife Is A Superstar novel Chapter 869

Chapter 869 - Vetrov Report Part IV

"Thank you," Iris whispered in Russian.

Jin Liwei who had started to learn a bit of Russian understood what she said. "No need to thank me, love. It’s the truth."

Then he wrapped an arm around her shoulders and pulled her closer, not allowing her to leave his side again like earlier, before continuing to read the summary about his wife.

Daughter: Evelina Armanovna Vetrova

Iris didn’t take her eyes off him. Her heart was still hammering inside her chest but his close proximity and the warmth of his embrace managed to calm her irregular breathing. She remained silent so as not to disturb him.

"Fantom," he murmured. He paused reading and looked like he was trying to remember something. "Where did I hear this name before?"

She restrained herself from explaining to him. If he asked her directly, then she would tell her the facts. For now, however, she would allow him to digest everything in his own pace.

"En, I think I remember now."

Her body stiffened a little but she still didn’t say anything.

"Back when I was still attending business school in the U.S., I had a friend back then who majored in computer science. He was a good hacker...well, we friends thought that he was pretty good. But I now know that he was nothing compared to a genius hacker like you. He sucked in school and almost flunked his subjects but he was making good money on his own through side jobs like designing simple software for start-up companies and things like that. He always told us that the person he admired the most in the world was a legendary hacker named Fantom."

Jin Liwei faced her. "Is that...was that you?"

She nodded.

He gave her a soft smile. "That friend eventually dropped out of university to start his own cybersecurity company. Then he sold it to a large competitor which swallowed his company afterwards. That competitor is currently one of the biggest players in the commercial cybersecurity industry. He became an instant millionaire after that."

His story piqued her interest. She liked hearing anecdotes about other people who loved computers just like her. She especially liked hearing about success stories because it made her proud of the field that she specialized in.

"He always bragged about Fantom’s exploits as if they were his own," Jin Liwei continued telling her. "He told us that you hacked into the Central Intelligence Agency’s database and left some pretty funny comments on highly classified reports as if you were reviewing movies or fictional books instead of actual incidents in real life."

"Ah, those." She chuckled while her expression became filled with nostalgia. "I did that on a lot of intelligence agencies all over the world, not just that one in particular. Not only intelligence agencies but also government and private institutions from various countries. I was so bored and I found a lot of those classified reports quite entertaining, that’s why I did that."
