Ming Yanlun: "By then, it won't just be us attracting investment with this technology. If the Wang family makes a move, we'll likely be sued."
Ming Yanlun's words successfully calmed the excited members of the Ming family.
They hadn't considered this issue.
But...
They couldn't afford not to.
As long as they could obtain the Wang family's core technology, they believed they could use it to save the Ming family before the Wang family noticed.
But...
What if they couldn't evade the Wang family's surveillance?
This was a crime!
"So, if we do it at night, we won't be discovered?" Ming Tingxu dangled the USB drive between his fingers, gently swaying it.
Ming Yanlun replied, "At night, I'll create a program to hide all my network records. Then, I'll auction this technology on the dark web, and everything will proceed without anyone knowing."
Ming Father and Ming Tingxu exchanged glances, their brows furrowed.
It seemed they didn't want to delay any longer.
Yet, they couldn't think of a better solution.
There was some hesitation.
At this moment, Ming Zhirou quickly interjected, "I think Fifth Brother is right. I also suggest that auctioning it at night using Fifth Brother's method is the safest way."
Ming Father pursed his lips.
Ming Tingxu's gaze deepened.
He finally approved Ming Yanlun's suggestion.
As Ming Zhirou breathed a silent sigh of relief in her heart,
She heard Ming Yanlun's voice, "Speaking of which... Rou'er, how did you manage to exchange the technology you acquired from the Wang family for a hundred million?"
Ming Zhirou, who was called upon, felt her heart skip a beat.
Her eyelashes fluttered rapidly.
A hint of panic flashed in her eyes.
But she managed to maintain a calm demeanor and said, "Well... it's just that... Mr. Wang approached me at that time... As soon as I learned about the technology from Young Master Wang, I... I transferred it directly to Mr. Wang."
"Is that so?" Ming Yanlun nodded with an unfathomable expression.
It was unclear whether he believed her or not.
-
Ming Zheng opened her eyes in the afternoon.
Chi Xian had prepared a steaming hot meal.
After washing up, Ming Zheng sat at the dining table.
The man brought over a bowl of soup, his eyes brimming with smiles.
Ming Zheng took a sip.
The taste was excellent.
His culinary skills were already comparable to a master chef.
She looked up and glanced at Chi Xian, who was resting his chin on his hands, his ink-black eyes, like jade, staring at her intently.
He was also wearing a pink apron.
"You, the dignified head of the Chi family, spending your days at my house, cooking for me... aren't you afraid of damaging your reputation if word gets out?" Ming Zheng felt he was becoming more and more like a large, loyal dog.
Chi Xian shrugged it off, "This is called doting on my wife. How could it damage my reputation? This is a model for men!"
Ming Zheng was amused by him.
After finishing the bowl of soup,
Chi Xian continued to diligently serve her food, "Have the matters with the Ming family been resolved?"
Ming Zheng pulled out her phone, glanced at the message she had received, and nodded, "There might be a good show to watch later."
"What good show?" Chi Xian watched her eat with great relish, the smile on her exquisite and beautiful face deepening.
Ming Zheng curved her eyes, meeting his ardent gaze, "You'll know when we watch it later."
As she spoke, she seemed to recall something and asked, "Did you and Third Senior Brother get into a fight last night?"
As she walked out of the room.
She had specifically glanced at the living room.
Everything seemed normal.
There were no signs of a fight.
But it was not impossible that they had fought and then tidied everything up again.
Chi Xian offered a harmless smile, "How could I possibly fight with Third Brother?"
Ming Zheng: "..." No, this smile looked a bit unsettling.
It really didn't seem like they hadn't fought.
But no matter how much she pressed him,
Chi Xian maintained his harmless demeanor, insisting that he absolutely had not fought with Third Senior Brother.
After they were both kicked out last night.
They had returned to their respective rooms to sleep very harmoniously.
Ming Zheng regarded this with skepticism.
After finishing the meal,
Chi Xian took on the task of washing the dishes again.
Ming Zheng lay on the sofa, holding her phone.
Her slender, jade-like fingers tapped on the phone screen, like striking a keyboard, like phantom elves dancing in the forest.
The phone screen's color transitioned from bright to dark, from white to black.
Complex code flickered across the screen.
Soon.
A computer screen appeared on her phone.
Concurrently, Ming Yanlun's slightly nervous and excited voice came from the phone: "Ming Zheng... you, you're awake."
He spoke with a degree of careful flattery.
His voice was hoarse and filled with exhaustion.
He had likely been up all night.
Ming Yanlun had indeed stayed up all night. He persisted until three in the morning before deciding to intrude. By four, he was discovered by Z, which was Ming Zheng.
After chatting with Ming Zheng,
It was already five in the morning.
Ming Zheng had disconnected the call immediately after speaking.
He wanted to track her back but realized he lacked the capability.
He could only wait for Ming Zheng to contact him proactively.
Sitting in front of the computer, although his body was extremely fatigued, and the effects of the red wine he had just drunk were eroding his rationality.
He simply couldn't sleep.
The inner turmoil was almost swallowing him whole, allowing the darkness to consume him.
He could only numb himself with alcohol.
Yet, in his mind, every word and every scene of his recent conversation with Ming Zheng played back with perfect clarity.
Only after being thoroughly drunk did he finally close his eyes.
But he only managed to sleep for two to three hours.
Before being frantically shaken awake by members of the Ming family, who demanded to know the results of his efforts last night.
After that, he was unable to fall asleep again.
During this period, Ming Zhirou had come to offer him attention a few times.
Receiving no response, she had run off with tears in her eyes.
Seeing Ming Zhirou's tears, his heart ached for a moment, and he wanted to apologize to her and comfort her.
But, in the end, he remained silent.
He continued to sit at the computer, waiting for Ming Zheng's contact.
He waited and waited.
Until now, he had finally been contacted by Ming Zheng.
He wanted to say a few more words to Ming Zheng.
He wanted to use this opportunity to mend their relationship.
But... the other party did not give him any response.
Instead, she directly took control of his computer and opened a surveillance video.
It was the surveillance from the study.
In the Ming family, except for bedrooms and bathrooms,
All other rooms were equipped with cameras.
However, the Ming family had always been a "loving family." The study's surveillance camera had been installed but never activated.
After Ming Yanlun handed the USB drive to Ming Tingxu today,
He had silently activated the study's surveillance.
In the footage, the study door was tightly shut, and the curtains were drawn, making it somewhat dim.
There was no one inside.
Initially, when Ming Zheng opened the study surveillance, Ming Yanlun's heart tightened.
Seeing no one in the surveillance, he finally relaxed.
