Shen Tianhao did not take the ring. He glanced at Yu Manyu and coughed perfunctorily. “I have company matters to attend to. I’ll be leaving.”

Then, he left without a trace.

Looking at his back, Shen Yugui sat down with an indifferent expression and continued to eat.

Yu Manyu stood beside her. Her fingers tugged at the hem of her shirt as she hesitated. “If he wants the ring, then just give it to him. He won’t forgive us if he finds out that you were lying.”

Her timid appearance made Shen Yugui sigh in her heart.

Her mother had been pampered by her grandfather since she was young, so she was extremely delicate. She was naturally pure, which caused her to be cheated by Shen Tianhao’s sweet words. It was because of her incompetence that she was unable to seize the company after grandfather’s death, which led to this current state.

Growing up with such a mother, it was no wonder that her elder sister was so weak.

She did not want to argue with Yu Manyu over this topic and so she lowered her voice to change the subject. “Mom, has there been any news regarding elder sister?”

The simple Yu Manyu’s attention was indeed diverted and she said in a glum tone, “It’s still the same. She calls me every day to tell me that she’s fine, but hangs up without saying much else.”

Hearing that her elder sister was still fine, Shen Yugui sighed in relief.

‘It doesn’t matter what elder sister wants to do, as long as she’s safe.’

Shen Yugui finished her meal and ran upstairs. “Mom, I’m tired. I’ll be turning in early.”

Yu Manyu opened her mouth and wanted to persuade her not to confront Shen Tianhao, but Shen Yugui had already gone upstairs. She could only let the matter rest as she looked up the stairs with sad eyes.

–

After entering her room, she recalled what Shen Tianhao said about her mentors calling him. She took out the mobile phone she used abroad and turned it on.

Since she was young, she liked computers and indulged in all kinds of programming and coding languages.

Six years ago, she used a fake identity to pose as a girl and went to the top higher education institution for computing in Country M to study. At that time, in order to gain admission, she lied about her age and said that she was eighteen when she was only sixteen.

She was tall and did not arouse the suspicion of others.

It was in that city where she met that strange man.

After she turned on her phone, it vibrated a few times in a row.

The screen immediately showed several missed calls, all from a childhood friend who she had grown up together with. He sent several WeChat messages:

[Sun Tzu, answer the phone!]

[Wu Gui, My dear little tortoise, where did you run off to?

[Daddy! Answer the phone! It’s really urgent!

Shen Yugui replied: [?]

The instant she sent the reply, her phone rang.

She answered the call, and a young and vigorous male voice spoke from the other side. “Sun Tzu, I was going to call the police if you still didn’t reply to me! You’ve been gone for three days. Where did you go? Do you know that officials from the hackathon have been looking for you? There are also several people who want to discuss a collaboration with you, you…”

Shen Yugui lowered her voice and interrupted him with a clear voice. “I’m at home. I’m busy.”

Then, in order to avoid his questions, he hung up and turned off the phone.

Yes, she was Tortoise.

Her name contained the character ‘Gui’, so her childhood friend gave her the code name ‘Wu Gui’. When she took part in the National Hacking Competition, she casually translated the name and used it. 

However, ever since she won first place, more and more people have been looking for her. It was quite annoying.
