Chapter 943: Chapter 943: Don’t Bla Him for Being Ruthless
Fu Yun felt uneasy inside and took out her phone, wanting to discreetly send a ssage to inquire what was really going on.
Just at that mont, Huo Lin, who sat beside her, sharply sensed her emotional turbulence and turned his gaze towards her.
Fu Yun felt guilty and thus dared not make any move.
Huo Lin seed to think of sothing, his eyes darkening as he lowered his voice to ask, “Does Qiao Yun coming out so late have anything to do with you?”
Fu Yun’s heart skipped a beat, her voice tinged with grievance as she said, “In your eyes, am I really that bad of a person?”
She truly felt hurt.
Ever since Huo Lin learned the truth about those past events, and that the AI system was initially created by Fu Yao, his attitude towards her had changed.
Fu Yun would sotis think.
They were a family, even if what they did was wrong, shouldn’t they still stand by her side?
Is there a need for right or wrong when it cos to family?
Contemplating this, Fu Yun beca inexplicably more agitated, “Alin! I am your mother! No matter what I have done, you should support ! Otherwise, what was the point of giving birth to you!”
Luckily, the scene was noisy due to Qiao Yun’s incident, or else she would have beco the center of attention.
Huo Lin frowned slightly, afraid that Fu Yun would lose control at this mont, so he suppressed the question in his throat, “I hope you won’t co to regret and feel guilty for your actions.”
Fu Yun was stunned, her expression turning ugly instantaneously, as she recalled her debt to Fu Yao; back then, she hadn’t stood by Fu Yao’s side, hadn’t fought against the Huo Family with her, and that had led to the tragedy.
Huo Lin stopped at that, he intended to have soone take Fu Yun to rest.
But this ti, Fu Yun adamantly refused to go; she wanted to watch! She had to see Qiao Yun lose thoroughly, or else she wouldn’t be able to feel vindicated.
…
Qiao Yun walked up to Han Wang’s side and nodded at him, “Sorry to keep you waiting.”
Han Wang scanned the crowd, expressing his envy, “Teacher, I really wish people would cheer and chant for like that, you even have fans.”
Qiao Yun politely declined, honestly saying that she did not even know her fans were called “Buckwheat.”
Pei Ya, who wasn’t present, thought: you don’t have to thank too much.
Han Wang turned back, concerned, “Teacher, where did you go?”
Qiao Yun’s complexion was calm, her voice unrippled as she responded, “Took care of so matters.”
“I thought sothing bad had happened to you; it scared to death,” Han Wang said, patting his chest, perplexed, “What was it, Teacher? Was it important?”
So important that she was late, not at all like Professor Qiao’s style.
If not for Elder Li’s wit… well, even if Elder Li hadn’t taken control of the situation, they would have surely found so way to stall for ti, like causing a big power outage or sothing.
A flicker of dark light passed through Qiao Yun’s eyes, “Caught a bad person.”
“What?” Han Wang was dumbstruck.
Could it really be okay to deliver such shocking news with such a calm tone?
…
anwhile, in VIP lounge.
It was a ten-square-ter room with a full floor-to-ceiling window. Nothing could be seen from the outside, but from the inside one could see the competition below clearly.
Pei Ya was standing in front of the window, watching Qiao Yun below. Beside him was Han Wang.
“Did you find the person?” Han Wang’s voice was filled with loathing.
“Er… found them. Soone bribed a staff mber. I’m sorry, for this to happen under my watch was my fault,” Pei Ya swallowed, not often seeing Han Wang this angry, but every ti she did beco angry it was because of Professor Qiao.
Han Wang spoke succinctly and to the point: “Who was it?”
Pei Ya said with disgust: “It was an old butler from the Huo Family. It seems like the act was a spur-of-the-mont decision, hence the poor planning.”
The person probably didn’t expect Simon to be on their side, so he started by trying to bribe the one who wanted to buy out Simon. Without much effort, the man was found out. Besides, the entire venue was under surveillance, both overt and covert, so locating soone was quite straightforward. However, it could also be that the mastermind rarely does such things, hence the lack of ticulous planning.
Pei Ya thought sowhat speechlessly that taking people away and locking them up, although childish, was an effective tactic.
Having seen Qiao Yun being taken away to a remote place through the surveillance footage, Pei Ya and Han Wang rushed to follow imdiately.
Of course, before they could take any action, they encountered Professor Qiao, who inford them after being questioned that she had been locked in a storeroom.
Qiao Yun was on guard from the beginning. Caught off guard and locked in the storeroom, she used the available tools to pry open the lock directly.
How could soone in tech not have the ability to use their hands?
Qiao Yun didn’t expect to get carried away in such a short ti and hurried back to the venue. The rest was left to Pei Ya to handle.
Pei Ya said with so guilt: “I’m the one who caused trouble for the boss.”
Han Wang’s face was cold. She intended to say that he was indeed aware of his own limitations, but seeing Pei Ya appearing almost ready to cry out of guilt, she pressed her lips together and said: “No one expected this to happen.”
Pei Ya could guess with his toes that this matter was related to Fu Yun, but he didn’t understand what Fu Yun was thinking, why she would do this to Professor Qiao.
Was it simply to make Tianqi lose, or was it because of the grudge from last ti against Professor Qiao?
Regardless of the reason, Fu Yun had crossed his line this ti.
He said fiercely: “To be honest, I can’t be bothered with her, but she successfully ignited my rage.”
Han Wang said in a calm voice: “Don’t break the law.”
“Relax, I’m not stupid,” Pei Ya said expressionlessly: “I just want an eye for an eye, that’s all.”
If the Huo Family can’t control her, then they can’t bla him for being ruthless.
…
The venue.
The competition had officially begun, divided into three rounds, with the first round being about theoretical knowledge.
Each party was to select one participant.
Han Si felt a headache coming on when he saw the need to answer questions, so he looked forward to Qiao Yun with great anticipation.
Qiao Yun: “…”
Qiao Yun had no choice but to step up to the plate.
Darren looked down on Qiao Yun, rembering that Jiang Jing had conflicts with Qiao Yun. So he said to Jiang Jing: “Jing, you’ll take the first round. Don’t be nervous, just as long as you beat her. As for beating Huo’s side, that would be great, but if not, we still have the next two rounds.”
He didn’t place much importance on the first round.
What he cared about were the second and third rounds of practical application.
Jiang Jing thought to herself that she couldn’t match Qiao Yun technically for now, but she couldn’t allow herself to be inferior in theoretical knowledge either, so she was very confident.
The Huo Research Institute sent a middle-aged man nad Fang Xing. He wore glasses, looked scholarly and composed, and was now at the level of a professor.
Originally, it was a friendly competition between Future Alliance and Tianqi, but later on, Huo Lin proposed to Pei Ya to have a fair and square competition with Tianqi.
Thus, the Huo Research Institute joined the competition halfway through.
Fang Xing first glanced at Qiao Yun, then at Jiang Jing, and thought, alright, they’re both younger than him, and he felt as if he was bullying children, but he braced himself to go on stage anyway.
Before going on stage, Jiang Jing flashed a smile with a trace of ambiguity to Qiao Yun and said with a smile: “Qiao Yun, you better do your best. I won’t lose to you in theory, I will beat you this ti!”
