Qiao Yin staggered a bit as he pulled her into him, bumping into his firm chest, the pain nearly brought her to tears.

She quickly explained, “I didn’t mean to delete the video. The surveillance video is blurry and seems to be infected with a virus. I was just trying to remove the virus. Let me go.”

Lu Lingche released her, studying her with probing eyes for a long moment before he spoke in a dismissive tone, “Yuanshan had people look into it. Even the experts couldn’t recover it.”

But Qiao Yin looked at him resolutely, “I can recover it.”

Lu Lingche suddenly laughed, “Don’t joke, Qiao Yin. Since when are you this talented, even more so than the experts? We’re getting a divorce, you really don’t need to act as if you know or can do everything in front of me. Aren’t you tired?”

Qiao Yin stared at him, taken aback.

He rarely smiled, but now, it was like a melting iceberg, making her heart thump wildly again.

How weak she was! Regardless of the number of times she had seen him, her heart still fluttered.

But then remembering the divorce agreement, her heart sank again.

What’s more, what truly broke her heart was that he didn’t even know she majored in information security in college.

In his eyes, she was never there.

Qiao Yin didn’t even realize how she left Lu Lingche’s villa. She returned home, her heart torn and bleeding.

After a restless night, she woke up the next day and instinctively reached for the side of the bed.

Only when she found nothing did she remember that she had moved out and was getting a divorce.

Though she forced herself not to think about Lu Lingche, the pain in her heart had not subsided at all; in fact, it was growing.

Having no appetite, she forced herself to drink a glass of oat milk and then went to work.

She worked for Starlight Technology as an information security engineer. When she told Lu Lingche that she could fix the video, she wasn’t bluffing.

She first reported to her boss, “Manager Yan, I came back to work.”

Yan Xing greeted her with a wide smile, “Qiao Yin, welcome back!”

After some small talk, Qiao Yin asked Yan Xing to assign her some work.

Yan Xing didn’t stand on ceremony and directly gave her all the company’s recent unresolved issues.

Though Qiao Yin was only twenty-three, her work capabilities were second-to-none. Being a graduate of a prestigious university with extraordinary talent, she had solved many problems for the company since her first year working part-time at the company up to her graduation. Yan Xing always valued her highly.

When she got married and resigned, Yan Xing was deeply regretful. He had repeatedly tried to persuade her to return to work, but she wanted to be a good wife, preferring to spend her time studying recipes rather than improving her professional skills.

Young girls can be easily confused by love, giving up their jobs and dreams to get married for a man.

Qiao Yin quickly went over the difficult problems assigned to her by her boss, and she was confident she could solve them.

But then, her eyes landed on a video.

Wasn’t this the surveillance video she had watched in Lu Lingche’s villa?

Could Yan Xing be the “expert” who said it was “unrecoverable” that Lu Lingche had hired?

The boss still had excellent business skills, but his professional skills were lacking.

Qiao Yin pointed at the video and asked, “Manager Yan, I want to prioritize this one. How much is the payment?”

“One hundred thousand.”

Qiao Yin shook her head, “Too low. Add a zero.”

After all, Lu Lingche was on the other side. If she didn’t fleece him, would she be doing right by herself?

Yan Xing was an insider and knew the difficulty in recovering the video. The others in the company had tried and failed. The video was infected by a highly complex virus and it required exceptional expertise to resolve it, so one hundred thousand was indeed low.

But one million seemed too high.

“I’ll ask the client if they can accept this price.”

Yan Xing made a call in front of her.

Yuanshan, who was on the other end of the phone, immediately reported to Lu Lingche upon hearing that the price had increased tenfold, “President Lu, the expert says the video can be recovered, but the price is one million..”
