"Lana..."
As soon as Serena Jennings saw Lana Xavier, her eyes imdiately lit up.
Lana Xavier was holding a cake box in her hands, and Serena knew this cake was definitely bought by Lana for her.
To reconcile with her.
"How long have you been waiting? Why didn’t you find a chair to sit for a while?"
Serena Jennings welcod Lana Xavier into her office.
This was Lana Xavier’s first ti entering the general manager’s office.
The office was very large, and at first glance, Lana saw the laptop on the desk.
"Serena, I was wrong last ti. I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have misunderstood you..."
Lana awkwardly apologized while taking the cake out of the box.
"This cake is baked by especially for you... Would you... like to try it?"
Serena was taken aback.
She didn’t expect Lana to be so shy and polite in front of her.
"What are you saying, Lana? A cake you made by hand for , how could I not want to eat it!"
"That’s good..."
Lana smiled, her smile a bit stiff.
"Oh, sorry, Serena, this cake is so big... I forgot to bring knives and plates..."
"No problem, I’ll get them ready."
Serena naturally pressed the internal phone.
However, her assistant Caleb Lockwood was absent without leave, so she intended to call Mr. Miller.
Before the internal phone could be dialed, Lana suddenly grabbed it and hung up.
Serena tilted her head in confusion.
"What’s wrong, Lana?"
"Ah... nothing..."
A mont of panic flashed in Lana’s eyes.
"Best not to trouble anyone... Serena, why don’t you find so plates yourself! I’m skipping work this ti. If soone sees , it wouldn’t be good..."
Serena didn’t quite understand Lana’s concern.
Even if she called Mr. Miller to prepare knives and plates, even if Mr. Miller saw Lana, it wouldn’t an he’d report it to Lana’s workplace!
Serena looked at Lana and felt sothing was off with her today.
But since Lana had concerns, just going to get so plates, Serena didn’t mind.
"Alright, you wait here for ..."
With that, Serena turned and left the office.
The large general manager’s office was left with Lana alone.
Lana imdiately opened the laptop on the desk.
The boot-up took so ti, during which Lana pulled a USB drive from her jeans pocket.
This USB drive was given to her by Julian Xavier.
According to Julian, The Lockwood Group’s newly launched FZZL System had undetected vulnerabilities.
And the program on Julian’s USB drive could directly cease the FZZL System’s operation.
In this way, although Serena would suffer so damage, the patients using the FZZL System wouldn’t face the risk of diagnostic and treatnt errors.
The computer booted up, and before inserting the USB drive, Lana hesitated slightly.
Doing this was certainly unfair to Serena.
But Serena was at fault first.
No matter how much they wanted to make money, they shouldn’t push a system with existing vulnerabilities into the market, especially for life-critical dical systems.
It’s just like those news reports where pharmaceutical companies intentionally hid incidents during trials, selling unsafe drugs to the market.
"I’m doing this... for Serena’s sake..."
Lana gritted her teeth and inserted the USB drive into Serena’s laptop.
In the next second, the alarm echoed through the entire office.
Lana was stunned, the deafening alarms leaving her montarily at a loss.
"Lana, what did you do?"
When Serena’s voice sounded from behind, Lana shivered.
"Serena... I..."
Lana turned to face Serena.
Serena held knives, forks, and plates in her hands, her wary gaze first landing on Lana’s face, then bypassing her and focusing on the laptop behind.
When Serena noticed the USB drive that originally wasn’t in her laptop, her face instantly changed.
She rushed over, pulled out the USB drive, and looked at the laptop’s screen.
On the screen, codes were still running densely.
Serena imdiately called the head of the information security departnt.
At that mont, her phone suddenly rang.
The caller was Aaron Linton.
Serena didn’t answer, directly hanging up the call.
The phone rang again after being hung up.
The caller was still Aaron Linton.
Serena frowned and hung up again.
At this critical mont, it wasn’t the ti to answer Aaron’s call.
No matter how big The Linton Family’s issues are, they aren’t as pressing as The Lockwood Group’s.
After all...
She no longer bears the Linton na.
The sky changed from day to night.
At the police station.
Officer Lowell took statents from both Serena and Lana.
"Serena... I... I didn’t know... I really didn’t know the USB drive contained a virus... Julian just told that using this USB drive could shut down your newly developed AI diagnostic system."
"He said the system had vulnerabilities, and continued use would jeopardize patient safety..."
"I... I..."
Faced with Serena, Lana trembled all over, her tongue frozen.
She never imagined that just inserting a USB drive into Serena’s laptop would trigger such alarms.
Nor did she expect the program on the USB drive to be such a vicious virus, directly attacking The Lockwood Group’s confidentiality firewall and leaking all custor information of the FZZL System.
Imdiately, all dical units purchasing and using the FZZL System were in chaos.
This incident quickly sparked an uproar online.
But compared to the internet, the impact on the entire business circle and dical industry was even greater.
The Lockwood Group’s stock, which had been soaring, suddenly plumted.
Due to the seriousness of the comrcial cri, under the legal departnt’s suggestion, Serena reported to the police.
Currently, Lana is suspected of comrcial secret infringent and unfair competition.
Confronted with Lana’s increasingly choked explanations, eventually crying uncontrollably, Serena was speechless.
What more could she say?
At this point, Officer Lowell returned and said to Serena:
"I’ve already contacted Celestid over there. They said Julian resigned from the head office a month ago, and the branch confird he only works until the end of this month... Plus, I called his number, and it’s showing as disconnected."
Officer Lowell’s words shocked Lana.
However, Serena remained extrely calm.
She took out her phone, looking at The Lockwood Group’s stock.
The stock was about to hit the limit down.
She thought, when the market opens tomorrow, it would likely continue to fall.
"I’ll continue to investigate; any news will be notified to you imdiately."
"Thank you for your hard work, Officer Lowell."
Serena finished speaking, turned around, and walked away.
"Serena!"
Lana called out to Serena with a broken voice.
Serena stopped but didn’t turn around, saying indifferently:
"You were also used. I won’t sue you."
With that, she strode out of the police station.
When she reached her white BMW 3 Series, Lana caught up with her.
