Chapter 422: Chapter 422: Ex-Wife Calls

Zhao Family, inside the villa, on the living room sofa.

"World-class level, number one globally?" Seeing the text message from Ning Meng, Zhao Xinlian felt somewhat conflicted at the moment.

She knew Chen Wei had kept many things hidden from her, and although she believed she had seen a lot, who would have thought that, before she had time to digest those events, just a few days later, Chen Wei’s new identity would be exposed to her again?

World-class, number one computer skills in the world!

If these words had come from someone else, Zhao Xinlian might have doubted them, but she was well aware of how formidable a hacker Ning Meng was.

Chen Wei and Ning Meng had only met twice and were not familiar with each other. How could Ning Meng possibly help him deceive her?

Unless this was something Chen Wei had planned in advance?

After thinking it over, Zhao Xinlian immediately dismissed the idea. Impossible, completely impossible!

As soon as she learned that there was a mole in the Zhao Family, she immediately found Ning Meng, a hacker. With such short notice, how could Chen Wei have had the opportunity to plan so much?

Moreover, based on Zhao Xinlian’s current understanding of Chen Wei, if he wanted to take revenge on her, there was no need for such roundabout methods. If he wanted, it would be a piece of cake, just a word away.

"..." For a while, Zhao Xinlian’s feelings were extremely complicated.

Hope was clearly in sight, yet the one who might lend this hope was her ex-husband, whom she did not want to be involved with in any way.

Zhao Xinlian didn’t know how to choose.

Bow to Chen Wei, apologize to him, and ask for his help?

Just the thought made Zhao Xinlian feel humiliated and thick-skinned.

But if she didn’t seek his help, both she and her parents could be swept out of the Zhao Family, left with nothing.

Most importantly, the Zhao Family would fall under the control of those moles and eventually collapse!

Zhao Xinlian didn’t want the home she had grown up in to be destroyed.

Clinging to the last bit of hope, Zhao Xinlian picked up her phone again and sent a message to Ning Meng: Aside from him, is there no one else who can help?

Zhao Xinlian: Do you know any other hackers? If they could get the data for me, I would still offer a generous reward.

Seeing Zhao Xinlian’s reply, Ning Meng responded without hesitation: Boss Zhao, pardon my frankness, but if you want to win, no one but him can help you, nobody!

Zhao Xinlian: Okay, I understand. I’ll think it over carefully. Thank you still.

Ning Meng put down her phone, lifting the fringe on her forehead with both hands, "I didn’t expect the big shot to actually be Boss Zhao’s son-in-law. That’s too outrageous, not even a TV drama would dare to portray it like that."

A helpless smile.

"However, they all say Zhao Xinlian is a business genius with unique insights. Now it seems, she might not be that impressive," Ning Meng commented.

If Zhao Xinlian’s insight were really that unique and accurate, then why would she choose to divorce Chen Wei? It didn’t make sense.

"Forget it, what’s the big deal with someone else’s marital affairs, why should it concern me? I’ll just make one more effort and see if I can restore the data!" She lifted her hands, slapped her cheeks to stay alert.

Ning Meng placed her hands on the keyboard, typing away swiftly.

No sooner had Chen Wei arrived at Fushan Residence than he heard the ringtone of his phone before he even had the chance to enter.

Even though the number was not saved, Chen Wei remembered it only too well.

"That girl must be talking too much again..." Chen Wei could guess with his toes that it must be something Ning Meng told her, for Zhao Xinlian to call at this time.

He pressed the answer button, "You’re actually making a call to me, quite a rarity."

Without entering, Chen Wei turned and walked towards the bottom of the mountain to avoid waking up Lin Yibai and Lin Miaoke.

"I heard all about your deeds from the hacker; I didn’t expect you to save a stranger in the middle of the night, someone you had only met once."

"I heard she’s pretty good-looking. You couldn’t have taken a liking to her, could you?"

Hearing Zhao Xinlian’s words, Chen Wei sighed, "Did you call just to mock me? If that’s the case, it’s late and I’m tired, so I’m hanging up."

"Wait! Don’t hang up!" Zhao Xinlian quickly interjected: "I have something I need your help with."

"You want me to get you the embezzlement documents from inside the Zhao Family, right?" Chen Wei got straight to the point.

"Yes, once it’s done, I’ll provide you with a corresponding reward; you won’t be working for nothing," Zhao Xinlian offered her terms.

"Not interested, look for someone else. That’s it, good night."

"Hello? Hello?" Zhao Xinlian sat on the sofa, stunned, not expecting Chen Wei to hang up on her, to be so heartless.

Zhao Xinlian, not giving up, called Chen Wei again, only to be instantly hung up on.

The third time!

The fourth time!

The result was the same; by the fifth call, Zhao Xinlian discovered that she had been blocked by Chen Wei.

"..." When had Zhao Xinlian ever suffered such indignity?

In the past, it was always her who blocked others.

Zhao Xinlian felt really indignant and punched the sofa with her fist.

But then she thought, wasn’t this the kind of treatment she had been hoping for from Chen Wei all along?

After all, it was she who had firmly told him they would never meet again.

And now here she was, shamelessly hoping Chen Wei would help her...

Viewing it from another angle, if Zhao Xinlian encountered such a person, she would definitely not hesitate to block them!

"..." Thinking this way, Zhao Xinlian felt even worse.

And yet, only Chen Wei could help her with her problem.

"Why does this happen? Why give me hope only to plunge me into despair?" Zhao Xinlian’s emotions completely collapsed.

Grabbing a pillow, she buried her head and began to sob. She had endured too much pressure lately.

Zhao Xinlian thought she could grit her teeth and bear it, but Chen Wei’s cold attitude made her emotional defenses crumble instantly.

Tears burst forth like a dam breaking, unstoppable.

When she finally came to and lifted her head, her eyes were slightly swollen and the sofa cushion was darkened by a large patch of her tears.

Zhao Xinlian couldn’t cry anymore.

However, she had to thank Chen Wei. If it hadn’t been for him, she wouldn’t have cried at all. After crying, the negative emotions that had been weighing on her heart dissipated significantly, making her feel much better.

This strengthened Zhao Xinlian’s resolve more than ever, to do whatever it takes to prevent those parasites from destroying the Zhao Family.

Zhao Xinlian’s resistance was just beginning at this moment!

Thinking this, she picked up her phone and reopened the chat window with Ning Meng: I have a new task I’d like to ask you to take on.

Ning Meng: What task?

Zhao Xinlian: I need you to find my ex-husband’s location and send me the coordinates.

Uh...

Ning Meng hesitated, but in the end, chose to agree.

Because even if she didn’t help, Zhao Xinlian would go find someone else, and Ning Meng might as well take the commission for herself.

At worst, as an apology, she would find an opportunity to repay Chen Wei in the future.
