422 Special Secret Weapon (2/2)

Gold Heights Condominium.
While people were stressing out about her chances of winning the battle of succession in the Long clan, Iris wasn't thinking about it at all. Since there weren't any updates from her financial manager about any available Long Industries shares that they could buy, she tossed the matter out of her mind for now.
She was more concerned about Orchidia Beauty and her new songs with Jin Chonglin. All of them were set to launch next season which was very soon.
In addition to these, she was also very excited about her plans of finally announcing her engagement with her darling to the public. Surprisingly, Wei Lan kept her promise and didn't tell a single soul about their engagement. It seemed that Wei Lan was really doing her best into becoming a respectable viscountess.
Iris had already confirmed that Wei Lan was indeed officially married to a Spanish viscount. The Viscountcy of Castillo de Estrellas really existed and its current title-holder was Wei Lan's new husband.
Satisfied by her findings, Iris didn't dig any further. She only did the most basic background check to confirm Wei Lan's marriage to the viscount.
She was too busy these days that she didn't really have the interest nor the time to dig deeper into the viscount's background. The orphanages caught her attention at first, but she temporarily dismissed them for now. Perhaps she was just being too suspicious and paranoid, thinking that they were similar to the Vetrovs' training program.
Besides, she was already starting to treat Wei Lan as family. Iris was pleased seeing the growing confidence in her friend, Jiang Ying Yue, under Wei Lan's ”mentorship”.
Iris had a new personal policy not to ”spy” on family members without their permission. Jin Liwei was the only one who gave her permission so far, but she didn't want to abuse it.
Wei Lan gave her a book titled ”How to Keep Your Man Hooked on You for as Long as You Live”. One of the main points in the book was that men didn't like women who watched their every move because it would make them feel suffocated. They would think that their women didn't trust them enough, causing resentment to grow.
Iris didn't want Jin Liwei to resent her, so even though he gave her permission, she stopped spying on him when there really wasn't any need to do so.
Her life was going extremely well right now. She wanted to focus on living a happy and normal life with Jin Liwei and the rest of their family and friends. Music, showbiz and her businesses were her current career priorities.
Hacking would have to take a backseat for now. It was her special secret weapon that she would use if needed. She was discovering that she could survive perfectly fine without hacking regularly.
It was already late at night, yet Jin Liwei hadn't arrived home yet. He already called her saying that he would be running late tonight. She trusted him, so she didn't think much about it. After telling him some quick sweet-nothings, she prepared for bed.
However, as she was about to nod off to deep sleep, her phone started ringing. It was her ringtone for Jin Liwei.
”Hello...darling?” she answered the call, her tone obviously sleepy.
”Sorry for disturbing you, love.”
”Hmmm...it's okay...”
”Love…I need your help.”
Although his voice sounded calm, Iris still heard the urgency in his tone. She immediately became alert.
”What's wrong, darling?”
”Jin Corporation is being hacked.”
