Chapter 49: Cat and Mouse
Qiao Lian had been standing by the floor-to-ceiling window in his office for a long ti. For once, he wasn’t thinking about work. Instead, he was thinking about what Yu Yao had said at the press conference.
The Maine Coon, who was nad King, walked silently to Qiao Lian’s feet and sat down to look at the city skyline with him.
As he flicked his long tail, it brushed against Qiao Lian’s ankles. Qiao Lian looked down at the Maine Coon sitting by his feet and chuckled softly.
“King, shouldn’t cats be very cautious? Why is the stray kitten we t so daring?”
“ow…” The Maine Coon owed as if he was answering his owner’s question.
Qiao Lian bent down and scratched the Maine Coon’s chin gently with his fingers. The Maine Coon purred in satisfaction.
Qiao Liang chuckled again. “Well, little kittens are always willful, there’s nothing you can do about it. Fortunately, she has a considerate master. We can’t leave the little troublemaking stray kitten behind, right, King?”
For so reason, King beca displeased. He slapped Qiao Lian’s finger away and then began licking his own paw.
Qiao Lian didn’t mind being disdained by his own cat. He turned to look out of the sunny window, and his tone gradually beca cold.
“The mice hiding in the dark will probably be deceived by the weak appearance of the stray kitten. Perhaps it’s ti for us to carry out our mouse-hunting plan…”
At the sa ti, the mice ntioned by Qiao Lian naturally noticed Yu Yao as well.
When Yu Yao showcased her face-swapping app at the press conference, Yu Wan realized that she had lost this ga completely.
Furious, Yu Wan opened the mysterious chat window and sent out a barrage of questions to the contact codenad A3.
“Didn’t you promise that those photos and videos would definitely destroy Yu Yao? How did it end up like this?”
“Why does Yu Yao have that face swap app? Did your technology get leaked?”
“Yu Yao is threatening . Think of sothing quickly! If the Yu family finds out that I posted those photos and videos, they will definitely drive away!”
When the ssages she sent failed to receive a response, Yu Wan beca even more irritated. She sent another string of ssages, asking if they were online.
After a long ti, the dark chat window flashed. Yu Wan was about to lean closer to read the ssage on the screen, but jumped in fright when a voice suddenly sounded from the computer.
The reply wasn’t in the form of a typed text ssage, it was spoken in a low, chanical male voice.
“Stay calm. You’re disturbing my train of thought.”
“How can I be calm? Didn’t you watch the press conference just now? All the arrangents we made previously have failed!”
Yu Wan paced back and forth in her room in frustration. “Not only did Yu Yao easily resolve the crisis of the photos and videos, but she also used the sa technology as you guys. Look at what the netizens call her now. They call her ‘Goddess’, ‘Big Boss’…Not only did we not destroy Yu Yao, we even helped her increase her fa and influence…”
“Shut up!” The chanical voice suddenly beca extrely cold, as if it contained killing intent. “Yu Wan, are you aware of your identity? What right do you have to question ?”
Yu Wan felt as if soone had grabbed her throat, and all her complaints were suddenly choked back. After a long while, she suppressed her fear and replied, “S-Sorry. I just temporarily lost control of my emotions…”
A3 snorted coldly and said, “I’ve already removed all traces of you on the Internet. The Yu family won’t find out that you were the one who uploaded the photos and videos.”
Yu Wan’s heart, which had been hanging high, finally relaxed a little. “That’s good…”
But before she could finish heaving a sigh of relief, she heard A3 say coldly, “Because you didn’t provide the organization with detailed information on Yu Yao, a technology that the organization has just developed can only be invalidated. The losses are incalculable.”
These words were spoken lightly and without harshness, but Yu Wan broke out in a cold sweat when she heard them.
“Don’t take the initiative to contact us for now. Keep an eye on Yu Yao and the Yu brothers and think of a way to get detailed information about them and their recent movents. I hope you won’t disappoint the organization again. Otherwise, I’m sure you know what will happen to you.”
Yu Wan’s entire face turned pale in an instant. Her lips trembled, and her voice shook. “Please don’t worry. I’ll do my best to find out where Yu Yao and the Yu family got the technology that belongs to the organization.”
The chanical voice let out a deep chuckle that sounded extrely ear-piercing. “Yu Wan, I’m looking forward to your performance.”
