454 Not a Daycare (1/2)
Iris giggled.
”Yes, Mr. Jin. I am indeed the future Madam Jin. And yes, I plan on just walking into Jin Corporation for everyone to see after we officially announce our relationship to the public. Soon.”Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click for visiting.
”En, soon. I can't wait,” Jin Liwei said. ”Alright. I'll arrange for you to sneak in whenever you want. I'll contact Gu Chang and Diao Yijue to accompany you inside.”
She nodded. Then she tilted her head to the side, as a thought entered her mind. ”Since we now know that Eagle has been tampering with the Singapore branch's system, then maybe his real target is Jin Corporation and that the hacking on the other companies is just a front.”
”Hmm… Or maybe the targets are all the top companies in the country,” he said.
”Oh. Let me check.”
She immediately did a quick check while still sitting on his lap. Indeed, she found traces of Eagle on the other top companies' branches in different parts of the world. Like the Singapore branch, it seemed that he had been given access by someone from the inside.
Jin Liwei's expression became grave after she told him of her findings.
”It seems like we're up against something much bigger than we first thought. It's not only the Youngs. There are also a lot of others conspiring with this…power. If their goal is to control the country's business sector, then taking over the top companies is the way to go. Control the top companies of a country and you basically control its economy,” he said.
Both of them were quiet after he said this. If this was before, Iris wouldn't care about something like the economy. However, she was now a full-fledged businesswoman. She had no choice but to care about the state of the economy.
Afterwards, Iris spent a few minutes strengthening Ketchup's security. She did notice some minute differences in Ketchup's properties, but she dismissed it as the natural effect of the self-learning function. The differences were so subtle that it didn't make Iris concerned.
The attack on Ketchup earlier made Iris more protective towards her. Ketchup was like the culmination of Iris' hacking skills and experience so far. She wouldn't let anyone obtain her cat AI—no, her baby.
If the hacker earlier was really one of those old guys, then they would definitely want Ketchup for themselves if they ever discover her. They were fun to challenge her skills and to compare notes with, but as enemies, even Iris felt wary of them. If they got their hands on Ketchup, they would surely transform her into something completely unrecognizable.
Finally done for the night, Iris and Jin Liwei prepared to leave the computer room and return to their bedroom. They could still sleep for about a couple of hours before they both needed to wake up again for another workday.
”Meow~ Goodnight, Mommy! Goodnight, Daddy! Ketchup will wake you in 1 hour and 49 minutes.”
After saying goodnight to their kid, the two left.

In the bedroom.
Jin Liwei carried his exhausted baby girl towards the bed. She was almost asleep but still waited until both of them were lying on the bed together.
”Hm? What's wrong, darling?” she asked sleepily after noticing that he was staring intently at her face.
”Nothing,” he said. He paused for a few seconds before deciding to be honest. ”Actually, I had this weird experience earlier. I'm sure that it was just my eyes playing tricks on me.”
”What is it?” she asked, trying to stay awake to listen to what he had to say.
”While you were battling the hacker earlier, I thought I saw a blonde woman instead of you,” he told her.
Iris stiffened and gasped softly.
Of course, he noticed her reaction. However, he thought that she was angry at him, so he hurriedly said, ”I'm not fantasizing about a foreign woman or anything like that. Like I said, it was just my eyes playing tricks on me.”
She didn't say anything. She just looked at him with a sense of wonder.
As for Jin Liwei, he also looked at her, trying to detect if she was mad at him.
”Darling…” she finally started speaking again.
