My Evil Genius Wife

  The man frowned upon hearing the other person's name and adjusted his round-framed glasses. Moon? He has never heard this name in the underground hacking world. 

If this person is this amazing and has the audacity to hack into his system, then there is no way that he doesn't know him. But...he has never heard this name before. Who the hell is he? 

Is he some new bug who is playing with him? He pursed his lips. 

There are many new-fearless hackers who try to prove themselves to the world by challenging the older and experienced hackers. However, they couldn't hold for long in front of the experienced and skillful hackers and eventually face great humiliation. 

" Yeah, he must be some crazy new bastard." He reassured himself. He took a deep breath and sent another message. 

[ HEY KIDDO!! THIS IS NOT YOUR PLAYGROUND. I GET IT THAT YOU'RE BORED, BUT IF YOU CONTINUE THIS SHITTY ATTITUDE OF YOURS, YOU WILL BE CAUGHT SOONER OR LATER.]

[ I AM LETTING YOU OFF BECAUSE YOU'RE YOUNG AND INEXPERIENCED. BUT DON'T YOU DARE PLAY THESE CHEAP GAMES WITH ME. IF YOU KNOW MY PSEUDONYM, THEN YOU MUST KNOW MY SKILLS TOO.]

[ IF I WANT, I CAN END YOUR LIFE AND CAREER RIGHT AWAY. DO YOU WANT ME TO SHOW YOU MY UNDEFEATABLE SKILLS? HUH?]

After sending the message, a proud smirk appeared on his lips. " I am sure he must be scared now."

" Was I too harsh on him? Hah! I hope he doesn't start crying after this." He chortled upon thinking about his reaction. 

People can make mistakes when they're young. He also did when he just started doing this. However, he was confident about his skills, unlike this brat. 

Even though he somehow managed to hack his system, he was sure that he must be regretting his actions now. 

Many new hackers don't know what to do after penetrating other's systems. They just enjoy the thrill of breaking into other's systems and love to play with them. He must be one of those hackers too, however, he has chosen the wrong target this time. 

He is the king of the underground hacking world after all. 

He has broken into many tightly secured systems and the large conglomerate companies fear him. This brat is nothing in front of him. 

He smirked. 

[ SCARED? HAH, AT LEAST REPLY SOMETHING YOU SHITH*LE!!] 

He typed another message and was about to send it when he got a message from the other side. However, upon seeing the contents of the message, his face turned pale. 

He pursed his lips and clicked on the attachment that he had sent to him with trembling hands. When the attachment opened, his mouth was left open in shock. 

" What the heck is this?" He exclaimed in shock. 

It was not an emoji this time but his location. His bloody LOCATION!!

His hand trembled in fear as his expressions turned pale. He is not stupid to not protect his system carefully and was sure that no one can find out his location in any way. However, the person not only found out his details but his location too. 

The fear slowly started to settle in him. He not only found out my details but….location too? Who the hell is this bastard? He wondered. 

Before he could say anything, he received another message.

  [ DO YOU STILL THINK THAT I AM ONLY PLAYING WITH YOU? SEEMS LIKE YOU'RE NOT THAT EXPERIENCED AS I THOUGHT YOU WOULD BE.]

[ TO DEFEAT ME, YOU NEED TO GO THROUGH A REBIRTH. UNLIKE YOU, I AM AWARE OF MY WORTH VERY WELL, YOU SEE!]

[ IT WON'T TAKE ME MUCH TIME TO SEND YOUR DETAILS AND ALL THE INFORMATION OF YOUR 'DARK PAST' WITH EVIDENCE TO THE POLICE. YOU WILL BE FAMOUS OVERNIGHT, HOWEVER, THIS TIME, IN A WRONG WAY.]

[ SHOULD I GO AHEAD WITH IT? ORR--]

The man pursed his lips upon seeing the threatening words and gritted his teeth. " F*ck." He cursed in a low voice and clenched his fists before responding, 

Number 4: [ WHAT DO YOU WANT? WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME?]

Moon: [ I WANT ONLY ONE THING FROM YOU, YOUR SKILLS.]

[ I WANT YOU TO WORK FOR ME. YOU JUST NEED TO DO WHAT YOU'RE DOING RIGHT NOW. BUT LEGALLY.]

[TO WORK FOR ME, YOU HAVE TO LET GO OF ALL OF YOUR ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES AND DO WHAT AS I SAY. SIMPLE AS THAT.]

The man frowned upon receiving a sudden job offer. What the hell? Is this person crazy or a pervert? Why does he want to work with him? 

-

He graduated as the top student from the university and majored in software engineering. Although he was good at academics and was fine at his work, the real world was not as impartial as he thought it would be. 

The connections became prominent when it came to getting a job at top companies and the workplace was like a battle, where everyone was ready to do everything to take credit. 

Even though he worked his fingers to the bone, in the end, he was forced to take the blame for something he never did. The idea that he had proposed at the start of the project was stolen by his senior at work and when it didn't go right, he was blamed for it when it wasn't even his fault. 

He didn't get the credit for the good things but had to take the blame when it went the wrong way. Why? Because who ruined the project was the nephew of the trustee of the company. 

Connections! Connections! Connections!

In the end, He was kicked out instead of him. He was just a newbie in the company yet he was forced to take all the blame because he was the easier target for them. It also blocked his prospects of getting a job at other reputed workplaces too. 

Rumors are like wildfire in a desert; hard to control but causes never healing damages.

After going through months of insomnia and depression, he found his comfort in gaming and hacking. He was always good at such technical stuff and always enjoyed gaming and hacking. However, at that time, it was limited to his work and leisure only. 

However, after that, it became an addiction for him. The more time he spends on his computer, the more thrilling and exciting it becomes. It's been a few months since he has been spending his days playing and hacking only. 

And the first target was the company that kicked him out unfairly and showed them what it means to be targeted wrongly. 

He has never expected to work again. But this job offer came out rather unexpectedly. 

Who offers a job to someone this way? That too, to a person who was trying to hack into a company illegally? 

Number 4: [ WHAT NONSENSE! I DON'T EVEN KNOW YOU, I DON'T KNOW WHAT KIND OF WORK YOU DO, HOW CAN I AGREE TO WORK WITH YOU?]

[ MOREOVER, AREN'T I JUST A CRIMINAL TO YOU? HOW CAN YOU TRUST ME?] 

After sending the message, he pursed his lips and waited anxiously. In what kind of mess he has got himself into?

Moon: [ AS I SAID EARLIER, UNLIKE WHAT YOU DO CURRENTLY, IT'S ALL LEGAL.]

[YOU'RE A CRIMINAL IN TERMS OF LAW, I AGREE. HOWEVER, THE COMPANIES YOU ATTACKED WERE NOT A SAINT EITHER. I KNOW THAT BETTER THAN YOU. I HAVE DONE MY HOMEWORK, YOU SEE!!]

[HOWEVER, IT STILL DOESN'T JUSTIFY YOUR ACTIONS. RATHER THAN WASTING YOUR SKILLS ON SOMETHING IMMORAL, WHY NOT DO SOMETHING LEGAL AND FAIR?]

[I THINK I HAVE EXPLAINED ENOUGH.  I DON'T HAVE A WHOLE DAY TO PLAY WITH YOU. YOU HAVE 5 MINUTES TO THINK ABOUT IT. EITHER WORK WITH ME OR GO TO THE JAIL. CHOICE IS YOURS!!]

When he started to think about the offer upon reading the messages, his eyes widened to see the sudden countdown. What the….5 minutes? 

Number 4: [ ARE YOU CRAZY? ARE YOU THREATENING ME?]

Moon: [ YES!! YOU HAVE 4 minutes, 10 seconds LEFT NOW.]

  SHIT!! ARE YOU SERIOUS? YOU HAVEN'T TOLD ME ANYTHING ABOUT YOUR COMPANY EITHER.]

Moon: [ IT'S AN CYBER SECURITY COMPANY. FURTHER DETAILS WILL BE GIVEN AFTER YOU AGREE TO IT. 3 MINUTES, 35 SECONDS LEFT.]

Number 4: [ WHAT WILL YOU DO IF I DON'T AGREE TO YOUR REQUEST? YOU KNOW, I CAN RUIN YOUR WORK ANYTIME IF YOU FORCE ME LIKE THIS.]

Moon: [HAH, DO YOU THINK I WILL LET YOU RUIN MY WORK? DO I LOOK LIKE A PUSHOVER? 1 MINUTE, 10 SECONDS LEFT.]

[I JUST NEED TO CLICK A BUTTON TO SHARE ALL OF YOUR HISTORY WITH THE POLICE. 57 SECONDS LEFT NOW. ]

The man was speechless to see all the threatening messages. He wasn't sure if the person wanted to poach him for a job or was threatening him. Whatever he will choose, he knows that he will suffer in both cases. 

However, the first option is still better than going to jail. 

Number 4: [ OKAY FINE!! I AGREE!! BUT I HAVE A CONDITION. BEFORE STARTING THE WORK, I WANT TO MEET YOU]

[ I WON'T WORK WITH A ROBOT. I CAN'T DO LIKE THIS.] 

After sending the message, the man pursed his lips and wondered if the other person would agree to his request or not. He also wants to see if this person is really offering him a job or was just playing with him. 

-

Xu Nuan's lips curled up to see his message, " Good boy." she murmured before sending another message. 

Moon: [ COOL! SINCE WE'RE GOING TO WORK TOGETHER, IT'S NECESSARY TO SIGN A CONTRACT. ]

[BARISTA CAFE` - TOMORROW AT 11 IN THE MORNING. DON'T BE LATE. I HATE TARDY PEOPLE.]

-

The man frowned when the other person simply left after sending the last message. His computer screen turned to normal as if it was never acting strangely and was flickering violently. 

" He agreed to meet so easily? That's...kinda strange." He frowned. He thought that the person would avoid meeting him to hide his identity. However, it's strange that he agreed so easily to his request. 

He was still not sure if this is a legit job offer or just some fraudulent activity. Well, what he was doing earlier was not something legal either. 

" Argh...what did I do?" He groaned. He was now regretting his decision of why he agreed to something so stupid.
