Chapter 845: Chapter 845: Striking the Nail on the Head Chapter 845: Chapter 845: Striking the Nail on the Head Han Wang didn’t know the purpose of Professor Qiao, but she fully supported her, with one annoyance, she grumbled, “I really overestimated the Huo Family. If they don’t cooperate, they resort to such despicable tactics. If they can co once, there’s no guarantee they won’t co a second ti.”
Ugh, so annoying.
“Perhaps, it’s not the intention of the Huo Family.” Qiao Yun had heard from Li Hanzhou about the Huo Family Head, Huo Lin, and thus she surmised that this might be an initiative taken by Huo Chi on his own, just like the cruise ship incident where Huo Chi tried to embarrass Tianqi, and after the failure, the Huo Family was very decisive.
She lowered her eyes to look at the data displayed on the computer; the transmission was complete, the other party had gotten what they wanted and were now stealthily withdrawing.
Looking elsewhere, the candidates on site were still unaware that Tianqi’s system had been hacked into, especially Jiang Jing who knew nothing about being used due to her overly aggressive attack. So of the remaining candidates had already banded together, hoping to get rid of her first.
…
Inside the room, it was quiet except for the humming of machines.
Jiang Jing’s eyes were bloodshot, her lips tightly bitten, and her fingers were almost breaking from typing in response to the combined attack.
She was indeed skilled, and if it weren’t for the setback given by Qiao Yun, she would have been more cautious and organized, at least not as flustered as she was now.
Especially since Han Luo had ceased his mischief, and her computer, serving as the dium, had suddenly shown many vulnerabilities due to the virus implanted by Han Luo, causing her to beco overwheld.
Jiang Jing’s face showed shock, her heart pounding wildly, and she bit her lip again to ask for help, “Who will help ?”
No one answered.
Jiang Jing’s earlier behavior made their group a target, and now they were all overwheld, with no ti to help Jiang Jing.
Jiang Jing suppressed her grievances and coaxed, “You should know I’m from the Jiang Family, and we’re in the technology industry. If you have needs in this field in the future, I can at least offer help.”
The remaining two people, upon hearing this, felt insulted.
Soone discontentedly said, “Jiang Jing, what do you an? What do you think I am?”
Jiang Jing was confused, “Aren’t you pursuing this field for fa and wealth?”
“Of course not, I love this industry and want to contribute to society!”
“Even though I also want to achieve fa and success, it started with a passion for research.”
Jiang Jing understood the principle of ‘no reward without effort’, and sarcasm briefly appeared on her face, but then her expression changed as she noticed the look of disgust from the others.
Jiang Jing felt a pang in her heart and wondered why she had beco so impulsive?
It was all Qiao Yun’s fault!
It was Qiao Yun who had made her so irrational.
Seeing that they didn’t want to help, Jiang Jing truly began to panic.
She even started to doubt her own abilities; if she couldn’t withstand such attacks, how could she dare claim to be better than Qiao Yun?
Jiang Jing’s fingers began to tremble violently. She found herself wanting to retreat, wishing she could imdiately flee from there.
Her eyes inexplicably felt dry, filled with self-pity, wanting to cry.
…
Qiao Yun, watching this, yawned with disinterest and lazily said, “She’s going to lose.”
Han Wang nodded, “Not knowing how to cooperate, it’s normal for her to lose.”
Jiang Jing had made enemies for herself from the start; such behavior was either due to her aggressiveness or overconfidence in handling everything alone.
To be honest, with such a personality, it might be hard for her to recover from such a setback.
Han Wang felt no sympathy for Jiang Jing, especially after Jiang Jing had questioned Professor Qiao earlier.
Qiao Yun stood up from the chair, stretched her body, and said to Han Wang, “I’m going out for a while, you watch here.”
Han Wang asked, “Do you need to accompany you?”
“No need.” Qiao Yun told Han Wang to stay put and then took her cellphone and left.
Qiao Yun didn’t go far; she stood in the corridor, her eyes lowered, gazing into the distance.
With its vast wealth, even a place designed solely for press conferences was constructed magnificently at Tianqi. From her vantage point, she could see the uneven skyline of the city buildings in the distance.
Qiao Yun shifted her gaze back and took out her phone to call Zhou You.
She had co out because she rembered what Zhou You had left unsaid in the car earlier.
Zhou You answered almost imdiately, his tone respectful, “Professor Qiao?”
“Yes,” Qiao Yun said directly, “about my second brother’s matter.”
Zhou You held the phone, his expression grave, “That ntal patient has so family background. Previously, he was betrayed by his ex-wife who had an affair with a celebrity. Plus, he was already ill, and the stimulation from the betrayal worsened his condition. Consequently, he harbors a deep hatred for celebrities, and he likely mistook Young Master Lu as the celebrity his ex-wife had an affair with.”
He paused for a mont before continuing, “I didn’t have a chance to say earlier, but Zhou Chong found out that the ntal patient was deliberately led there. Shortly after the incident, that patient’s family received a sum of money.”
The Zhou family had a long military history and was very sensitive to such matters.
Because of a failed business, the ntal patient’s family had incurred a significant amount of debt. Suddenly, after Lu Zhanxing was attacked, they received a sum of money that allowed them to get by.
So Zhou Chong followed this lead and eventually found sothing fishy.
“That money ca from an overseas account. Despite their efforts to conceal it, we still managed to find out. The person nad on that account is a relative from the maternal side of the Huo family’s Huo Chi,” said Zhou You.
Zhou You, who had been following Professor Qiao closely, was naturally aware that Huo Chi had recently been at odds with Tianqi.
Qiao Yun’s eyes flicked open, her expression quite cold, “Good, hard work.”
“It’s not hard work; it’s what we should do.”
“This month’s bonus will be doubled.”
“Thank you, Professor Qiao.”
Qiao Yun humd an acknowledgent and then hung up the phone, a glint of cold light seeming to flicker in her dark pupils. She put away her phone and turned to return to the assessnt site.
…
Han Wang watched Qiao Yun, perplexed.
How co she was fine when she left, but now she seems a bit unhappy upon returning?
Who has upset Professor Qiao?
Han Wang’s face turned cold, “Teacher, who has made you unhappy?”
Qiao Yun took her seat without elaborating much, “The AI system, it’s going public.”
Han Wang understood instantly. Despite his icy deanor, his tone betrayed surprise, “Teacher, do you an to announce the existence of the AI system publicly? To go public before the Huo corporation does?”
Qiao Yun nodded, “Yes.”
Han Wang looked at Qiao Yun with admiration.
Qiao Yun lounged lazily, her hands resting on the keyboard, her delicate and beautiful face frad by long lashes that were lowered. Though she appeared sweet and harmless, she exuded an unmistakable aura of authority.
Han Wang thought to himself in amazent.
Truly worthy of being Professor Qiao; she is so incisive in her actions.
The Huo Family has painstakingly researched for over a decade only to be preempted by Tianqi. They must be furious, yet powerless to do anything.
Having invested so much in this area, the Huo Family would surely have to pay a heavy price co ti.
