Chapter 832: Chapter 832: Why Did You Do This

On the way back, Zhou ngng furrowed her brows in deep thought.

Who exactly was that mysterious man?

Her mind flashed through various faces, but in the end, she dismissed them all.

She picked up her phone, slid open the screen, and was about to have soone look into it.

But then she thought better of it and gave up.

Forget it.

It was clear that the other party had a very powerful intelligence network at their disposal.

Even more formidable than the one Jiang Xu had.

Zhou ngng was well aware of Jiang Xu sending people to investigate her in the past.

Even Jiang Xu had not been able to uncover her background, but that mysterious organization had.

Better not to stir the grass and startle the snake.

As for the identity of that man, she would find out sooner or later.

“Interesting.”

Zhou ngng’s gaze drifted toward the window, watching the scenery roll backwards, her eyes dark and unreadable.

——————————

In the afternoon, Jiang Xu arrived with a team of about a dozen people.

They also brought two large cases.

“What’s this for?” An Nuonuo asked, puzzled.

Jiang Xu smiled and said, “It’s a projector and screen I bought from abroad for you, with no blue light or radiation, for watching TV.”

The foreign technology in projection was still superior at the mont.

It was just very expensive.

A hundred-inch set was worth as much as three million.

Six million for two sets.

One for the living room, one for the bedroom.

It would take him at least an hour to earn that much money.

An Nuonuo bead with joy.

She knew that her husband wouldn’t really let her go ten months without watching TV.

“Thank you, you’re the best, hubby.”

Jiang Xu whispered into her ear, “Then tonight, you can thank properly. I want your love to be profound, yet hard to express.”

An Nuonuo: “Huh???”

She didn’t understand.

But judging by Jiang Xu’s expression, it was definitely sothing racy.

She had no choice but to indulge her husband.

After the two projectors were installed, Jiang Xu checked them out.

The clarity was okay.

It’s just that the price was beyond what the average person could afford.

In ten years, this technology would be common in China.

Five thousand could get you a very good one, and even clearer.

Just make do with it.

An Nuonuo, who hadn’t watched TV in several days, watched contentedly.

That was when Lu Chao called.

“Are you free for a drink?” he asked.

Jiang Xu could tell from Lu Chao’s voice that he was feeling down.

After thinking it through, he agreed.

He told An Nuonuo and then left the house.

The eting place was a regular restaurant.

By the ti Jiang Xu arrived, Lu Chao had already downed several glasses of baijiu and his neck was red.

“What’s the matter, feeling bad?” Jiang Xu sat opposite him. “Did your wife scold you?”

“Bullshit!” Lu Chao rolled his eyes at him. “I run a tight ship at ho, alright? How dare a re woman scold ?”

Jiang Xu: “Then what’s with the slap mark on your face?”

Lu Chao looked horrified: “A slap mark? Impossible, a week ago…”

Before he could finish, he realized he had been played and glared angrily at Jiang Xu.

Jiang Xu smiled.

The dishes arrived.

Jiang Xu accompanied him as he drank.

Lu Chao didn’t say why he had called him out; he just kept insisting on drinking.

Jiang Xu didn’t ask.

He only stopped Lu Chao when he began to stagger drunkenly, his eyes bleary.

“Okay, that’s enough. We’ve drunk enough. Tell , what’s going on?”

Lu Chao’s eyes widened as he looked at Jiang Xu, his tongue slightly tied, “I’m sorry… I might have to withdraw my investnt in the chip sector.”

Jiang Xu’s eyes narrowed, “This is not your idea, is it?”

It was obvious that Lu Chao was being coerced.

The chip technology had already surpassed that of foreign countries.

It was at least one or two years ahead.

One could say that the hard tis were over, and the sweet reward was just around the corner.

Soon, they were about to make money while lying down.

At this juncture, suddenly ntioning withdrawal of investnt, even a fool could see there was a problem.

Lu Chao’s eyes darted about, “I’m sorry, I have my own difficulties, but I must withdraw my investnt.”

Jiang Xu stared intently at Lu Chao, his mind racing.

Considering Lu Chao’s initial investnt, plus the continuously soaring value of the chip.

If he wanted to withdraw now, Jiang Xu would have to co up with a hundred billion at least.

The company’s current cash was around sixty billion or so.

They needed to keep ten billion for ergencies, so they were short of fifty billion.

“Okay, I understand,” Jiang Xu said somberly, “Give a week to prepare the money.”

“I’m sorry,” Lu Chao raised his glass and drank it in one gulp, “I have my unavoidable difficulties.”

Jiang Xu shook his head and said nothing.

Lu Chao’s actions had both good and bad implications for Jiang Xu.

The bad part was he had to co up with a hundred billion all at once, which would greatly increase the enterprise’s risk.

Moreover, the funding for subsequent research and developnt might not keep up.

The advantage was that he could take the lion’s share of the future chip profits.

Wait a minute!

Jiang Xu was about to pick up his glass when he suddenly paused.

He thought of a possibility.

Then he returned to normal, picked up his glass and finished it in one gulp, “I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll be leaving now.”

Lu Chao watched Jiang Xu leave, a bitter smile erging on his face.

It was not easy to have made a good friend, and now it seed that this friendship could no longer continue.

With that thought, Lu Chao smashed his glass forcefully onto the ground.

——————

Jiang Xu arrived at the chip factory.

He accessed the surveillance footage from the past week.

He focused on reviewing Lu Chao’s movents.

A quick scan revealed nothing amiss.

Jiang Xu took out a USB drive and plugged it in for another look.

It was a detection tool he had created.

It could determine whether the video surveillance was intact, whether anything had been deleted, or whether it had been tampered with.

Soon, he found an anomaly.

A segnt of the surveillance from five days ago was detected with parts deleted.

It was the part where Lu Chao walked out of his own office and headed towards the developnt room.

But before he got to the developnt room, he turned around and left.

This part had been edited.

Jiang Xu’s heart sank.

He imdiately opened a hidden software on the computer.

When the factory was built, Jiang Xu had installed hidden caras in the most crucial developnt room just in case.

The purpose was to prevent theft of chip technology.

He saw that five days ago, Lu Chao took the opportunity to call out all the technicians from the developnt room.

He was alone, rummaging through cabinets in search of sothing.

Finally, his eyes settled on the safe.

Inside there were the latest research results and 14NM chip technology.

This thing was worth at least five hundred billion!

However, Lu Chao did not succeed.

Because only Jiang Xu and Ni Guangnan knew the safe’s password.

But seeing his expression and deanor, Jiang Xu knew that Lu Chao had not given up.

He estimated that before the withdrawal, he would make another move.

Jiang Xu leaned back in his chair and slowly closed his eyes.

He was utterly disappointed in Lu Chao.

He had thought he was a faithful and trustworthy partner.

Yet in the end, he was betrayed.
