Chapter 066 The Prophecy Comes True
A black Phaeton drove into the underground parking garage of an apartment building near University A.
The car had just come to a complete stop.
Jiang Ci turned on the phone, which had been switched off for three whole days.
The moment the screen lights up.
There was no smooth startup animation like usual.
But -
"Buzz buzz buzz buzz—!!!"
The phone was vibrating violently on the dial, as if it had gone mad.
Missed call reminders, text messages, WeChat messages, and emails.
Countless red notifications flooded out like a burst dam, instantly freezing the screen.
99+.
999+.
Jiang Ci frowned.
He anticipated a lot of news, but the frequency of this bombardment was clearly abnormal.
Before he could even open WeChat...
A phone call abruptly cut in.
The note reads: 【Zhang Annian (Urgent!!!)】.
Jiang Ci answered the call.
Before I could even speak.
From the other end came Zhang Annian's hoarse, tearful roar, accompanied by a cacophony of keyboard clicks and arguments in the background.
"Brother Ci! You've finally turned on your computer!"
"Something terrible has happened! Something drastic!"
"Our core database was hacked! Just last night!"
"Our firewall has been breached, and some source code appears to have been leaked... Now our competitors are already releasing press releases to attack us! Our investor, Mr. Wang, is throwing a tantrum in his office, saying he's withdrawing his investment and threatening to sue us for breach of contract!"
Jiang Ci's hand gripping the phone tightened suddenly.
The knuckles turned white from exertion.
The air inside the carriage instantly froze to freezing point.
The warmth that had just lingered by the sea was shattered in that one phone call.
"What's the panic?"
Jiang Ci's voice deepened, becoming calm to the point of being almost cold.
"Is the server locked?"
"Locked! But the data stream is still overflowing abnormally!"
"Sister Su Qing has been holding on for ten hours, she can't take it anymore! Brother Ci, come back quickly! Only you can fix that leak!"
"I'm going there now."
Jiang Ci hung up the phone.
He turned his head.
He looked at Wen Ning in the passenger seat.
Wen Ning's face was ashen.
She heard it.
Although the hands-free mode wasn't on, Zhang Annian's desperate roar was all too clear in that enclosed space.
The database was attacked.
Code leak.
Withdrawal of investment.
Breach of contract.
Every word felt like a heavy hammer blow, striking her heart.
[See, host.]
The system's voice carried a hint of pitying mockery.
This is what is meant by "mutual restraint of fate."
[Limitless's security system was originally flawless.]
But because he turned off his phone while you were walking on the beach or watching fireworks, he missed the best time to defend yourself.
This is the butterfly effect. You broke its wings.
Wen Ning's fingers dug deeply into her palms.
Blood was everywhere.
is her.
It's really her.
If Su Qing were by his side, this would never have happened.
Only she, like a seductive woman, drew him into a world of tenderness, keeping him completely unaware of the danger.
"Ningning."
Jiang Ci unbuckled his seatbelt.
Although his expression remained calm, the anxiety and seriousness in his eyes were unmistakable.
"There's an urgent matter at the company."
He reached out and touched her cold cheek.
"I'll take you up now. I probably won't be able to come back for the next few days; I'll be staying at the company."
He didn't mention what it was about.
It didn't mention how serious it was.
Even at this point, he still subconsciously wanted to keep the storm outside, leaving her only with a false sense of security.
"The refrigerator at home is full."
"When I'm bored, I watch TV or draw."
"Don't wander off, don't make me worry."
Wen Ning looked at him.
Looking at the bloodshot in his eyes, and at the forced gentleness he was trying to maintain.
She really wanted to hug him.
I want to say "I'm sorry".
I wanted to say, "I'll go with you."
But she wasn't qualified.
Her presence at the company now would only further distract the already overwhelmed team.
This will only make Su Qing despise him even more.
It will only make him... even more unlucky.
"it is good."
Wen Ning nodded obediently.
"Go ahead. I'll wait for you at home."
……
Jiang Ci escorted her into the elevator.
Only after watching the elevator doors close did he turn around and rush towards the car.
The engine roared.
The black Phaeton shot out of the underground parking garage like an arrow and disappeared into the night.
Wen Ning returned to her apartment.
Push open the door.
That carefully decorated "home" filled with a warm atmosphere.
At this moment, however, it seemed exceptionally empty and desolate.
The Monstera deliciosa plant was growing quietly in the corner.
They bought it together.
The snacks I didn't finish that day were still on the coffee table.
Wen Ning walked to the floor-to-ceiling window.
Looking towards the direction of the University A Entrepreneurship Park in the distance.
The place was brightly lit, like a giant beast struggling in the darkness.
【Host.】
The system spoke again.
This is just the beginning.
If you continue to stay with him, the next possible outcome could be a car accident, a terminal illness, or imprisonment.
Do you love him just to watch him ruin himself?
Wen Ning closed her eyes.
Tears rolled down the cheeks.
enough.
Really enough.
She can't be selfish anymore.
It's time to wake up from this stolen dream.
"system."
Wen Ning's voice was very soft, echoing in the empty room.
It carried a sense of resolute determination after deathly silence.
"I'm breaking up."
She turned around.
I no longer look out the window, a window filled with memories.
"What's the mission? I'll take it."
Even if it makes him hate me to the core... as long as he's alright.
"I'll do anything."
[Task confirmed.]
[The final stage of the story begins.]
[Countdown: Seven days.]
That was the day he resolved the crisis and held a victory celebration. It was also the day you... left for good.
