41 Time to see the boy's

When Zhi's mother was found dead, it was reported as a sad and tragic accident but Zhi new the truth.

She was murdered.

Zhi was 11 at the time. Even to an 11-year old, it was obvious her father wasn't just grieving for the loss of his wife, he was panicked and frightened. The man even started to act paranoid. Zhi remembered the day He had the security upgraded and he hired a second bodyguard out of the blue.

Months later Zhis father seemed better, that was until a year later Zhi was kidnapped.

Zhi's father again started panicking.

That was when Her father Zhuang sent her away to the states to attend boarding school.

Once at school, Zhi became fast friends with two amazing friends Maddie and Thomas. They introduced her to a whole new world. The world of computers.

Zhi had a sense of security when she was online. She became a quick learner and felt complete control when her hands touched the keyboard. She became an awesome gamer and an exceptional computer hacker.

At 17 she sought out vulnerabilities in computer systems without an owner or companies knowledge. And with some sort of compensation or incentive, she would alert them of the problem and then have them pay her to fix the problem.

If the company didn't respond or if they rejected her proposition, she would exploit the newfound flaw until they hired her. Zhi wasn't malicious by nature but she enjoyed crushing her targets if they didn't comply.

It was on one of her jobs for a client that she came across information that would change her life. She was originally hired to infiltrate a system to obtain a list of underground businesses. The client needed new connections of the list to expand his business but for Zhi, the list was undeniable proof her father was apart of a dark world she knew nothing about.

Zhi had lots of questions and started looking for answers. With her knowledge of hacking, she quickly became familiar with the underworld and the black web. That's when she started to really become a different person, her own person. She was no longer a scared little girl with a dead mommy and a daddy that didn't want her, she was now a force to be reckoned with. She became a hacker with a name, H1.

H1 represented #1 Hacker. She was cocky but she earned it. H1 was even her handle on games and H1 had never been defeated.

Zhi investigated her father until she realized her father was being controlled by very dangerous people. People that killed his wife and forced him to send his only daughter away to protect her. From what she could tell that was even why her father remarried. He married someone from that world to blend and to stop being a target.

That's what zhi hoped anyway.

She had to have hope that this wasn't him. She had to have hope that working underground wasn't his idea. It was those people making him do it. Greedy people that never let go once they had you.

After a couple of years, Zhi left school and came come. She lived in the Ruo estate and planned to confront her father.

That was the day Fang Mi and her mother murdered Maddie. They set it up to look like an accident but they held proof that ultimately framed Zhi.

Fang had made it look like Zhi committed the crime. Fang and her mother claimed they would make it public if Zhi didn't move out and cut all ties to the Ruo estate, company, and inheritance.

Zhi still didn't know how her new stepfamily found out about her plan or how they knew Maddie.

Zhi left the restaurant without having anything eat. There was too much going on in her life right now to hold a lunch down. Zhe was spreading herself too thin, she felt like she was going to burst into thin air. But there was no time for that. She hopped in her car and drove off.

Thank goodness she inherited her talent of acting from her mother. Her life required a way to much of it. Sometimes she wished she could just stop but she had too much to do.

Zhi needed to get back to the office. At least when she was there working with the boys she didn't have to act. They were all on the same page. They understood Zhi had a goal and they were just there to make it happen.

Zhi headed to an office downtown where the boys were working. She and the boys together were called H6.

The H6 consisting of her, Thomas and a group of 4 nerdy guys that after an eventful day followed Zhi around like lost puppy's. To them, she was their goddess.

Zhi finally arrived at a huge building. Zhi and the other H6 members rented a small office room on the second floor of the building. On the way up Zhi gave into her emotions just for a minute. But it was enough time for her to think of the handsome Tadashi.

"How can Tadashi be apart of such despicable people?" Zhi truly wanted to cry. The underworld was full gangs, triads, drugs, weapons, sex traffickers, terrorists and much more. People like them weren't worth Zhis time. She knew she had to let Tadashi go.

Zhi Ruo became a hacker to take people like him down. There was just no way she was going to work for a guy like that..or fall in love with him either. She had to end that contract right away and get him out of her house.

Zhi felt broken thinking about it.

How can a horrible person like that save her... twice!

It didn't matter, it was family first. Zhi wasn't willing to let her father go just yet.

She had a goal. She had to get her dad to trust her or her plan would never work.

But still, how could her father ever demand marriage?

Yuto Xu, That was the name her father gave her when she asked for her soon to be husbands name.

It was time to find out just who this Yuto Xu is and how he managed to get her father to agree to such a thing. Zhi wasn't stupid and something definitely felt odd about her father demanding a random marriage arrangement and she was going to find out what. She had two days to do it or she would be married to a stranger.
