Chapter 537: Good Cooperation
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The meeting venue was in a large conference room on the first floor of the office building.
When all the heads and administrators of the technology building walked into the conference room, they realized that it was Eldest Master Sun sitting in the seat with Li Yan and Chu Luo sitting beside him. They sharply sensed that something major was about to happen.
Everyone quickly sat down.
The first to speak was Eldest Master Sun.
He had a serious expression. “Last night, someone sneaked into the R&D room of the gaming capsule and stole the data of the gaming capsule jointly developed by Blazing Glory and Imperial University. I’ve already found out who did it and asked the princ.i.p.al to call you guys over. I’m just letting you guys see the consequences of stealing the data.”
As a person in power, Eldest Master Sun’s aura was powerful to begin with. Coupled with his sharp eyes, when he swept his gaze across everyone, the group of school’s heads actually felt like they couldn’t breathe.
Chu Luo and Li Yan stared at the expressions of the group of upper echelons and the administrator. After dozens of seconds, the two of them retracted their gazes and looked at each other knowingly.
Li Yan turned to Eldest Master Sun and said, “Just leave the administrator of that building and the dean of the School of Computer Science behind.”
When everyone heard this, they quickly turned to look at the two of them.
The dean’s expression instantly turned ugly. He glared at Li Yan angrily. “Why are you asking us to stay behind? Does CEO Li think that the person who stole the data last night was me and the administrator?”
The administrator quickly defended himself. “It wasn’t me. I went back after work last night. My wife and child can testify.”
Eldest Master Sun’s expression turned stern. “If I ask you to stay, then stay. There’s no need for so much nonsense.”
After saying that, he turned to look at the princ.i.p.al.
The princ.i.p.al understood and immediately stood up to say to the others, “Everyone, follow me to the hall and wait for a while.”
The others had originally thought that they could leave, but they hadn’t expected the princ.i.p.al to say that. Everyone looked at each other for a while. Thinking that this matter was important and even the Sun family was alarmed, it was better to listen to the arrangements. Everyone stood up and followed the princ.i.p.al out.
After the others left, Eldest Master Sun and Li Yan glared at the two of them.
Eldest Master Sun said in a low voice, “Tell me, who asked you to steal the R&D data of the gaming capsule?”
“I really don’t know!” The administrator was so anxious that he broke out in cold sweat. His lips trembled as he said, “If you don’t believe me, you can call my wife and child over to ask. Moreover, there are surveillance cameras downstairs at my house. You’ll know if I went out again after I went back last night.”
Eldest Master Sun’s expression became even more stern. “As the administrator, even if you don’t go out, you can still let those people in as they please as long as you open the technology building’s access in advance.”
“I didn’t, I really didn’t!”
The administrator was so anxious that he was about to cry.
Chu Luo looked at the administrator for a while before s.h.i.+fting her gaze to Dean Qiao, who looked much more calm.
Dean Qiao felt Chu Luo’s gaze and looked back at her with innocence in his eyes.
Chu Luo smiled at him and asked in a crisp voice, “Dean Qiao, as the dean of the School of Computer Science, you must know the various security measures of the technology building the best.”
Dean Qiao seemed to be bewitched by Chu Luo’s voice and didn’t deny it. “That’s right. This is the most basic att.i.tude towards work of a dean of the School of Computer Science.”
“Then you can’t deny that you played a part in that person turning off all the surveillance cameras in the technology building from 1: 30 to 2 am last night and avoiding all the alarms to go to the gaming capsule research lab… I’m very curious, what benefits did the other party promise you?”
Dean Qiao’s lips moved. In the next second, his face darkened. “Chu Luo, I advise you not to spout nonsense. I can sue you for slander.”
“Sue me? Then go ahead,” Chu Luo said, and Dean Qiao’s expression turned even uglier.
“Previously, I thought that you were a very good student. I didn’t expect you to deliberately slander me without evidence.”
As Dean Qiao spoke, he looked at Eldest Master Sun and Li Yan with anger from being slandered. “Eldest Master Sun, CEO Li, since you’re certain that I helped the thief steal the gaming capsule data, show me the evidence. As long as you have evidence, I’ll admit it.”
Dean Qiao’s expression was too righteous, so righteous that people felt that they had really wronged him.
Li Yan pursed his lips tightly and asked Chu Luo, “Luoluo, did you tell me before that you set up a special defense system in the research lab?”
When Dean Qiao heard this, his pupils constricted.
Chu Luo glanced at Li Yan and immediately understood what he meant. She nodded. “That’s right. I set it up when I was bored. That defense system can be taken away with the gaming capsule data. As long as the other party activates it, even if he hides his ident.i.ty, I can track him down.”
After saying that, she looked around the office and looked at the computer on the princ.i.p.al’s desk. “If you don’t believe me, I can demonstrate it to you.”
After saying that, she walked towards the computer.
When Chu Luo walked over, Li Yan said to Dean Qiao and the administrator in a cold voice, “It’s not too late for you to admit it now. As long as Luoluo’s program can track down the hidden ID, I have a way to track down anyone who has interacted with him recently. Then, I can track down the people who have interacted with those people.”
Eldest Master Sun added, “As long as Li Yan manages to track them down, I have a way to make them confess.”
When the administrator heard this, it was unknown if he was afraid or if he was sweating for that person, but the cold sweat on his forehead flowed even more fiercely.
Dean Qiao’s face turned pale.
But they didn’t admit it.
Li Yan gestured to Chu Luo. “Luoluo, check.”
Chu Luo nodded and quickly typed on the keyboard.
At this moment, Dean Qiao’s phone suddenly rang.
Dean Qiao’s body trembled.
The sound of the phone made everyone look at him.
Dean Qiao didn’t seem to have reacted and didn’t go get it.
Eldest Master Sun reminded him, “Dean Qiao, your phone is ringing.”
Dean Qiao quickly took out his phone. After he swiped it open and heard the other party’s words, his face turned ashen. His lips trembled as he said, “You… don’t touch my son!”
Dean Qiao was about to speak again when Li Yan suddenly s.n.a.t.c.hed his phone and threw it on the ground.
Pa!
The phone split into two.
Dean Qiao’s eyes turned red from anxiety and he shouted at him fiercely, “What are you doing? Why did you s.n.a.t.c.h my phone! If anything happens to my son, I’ll definitely kill you.”
Li Yan sneered. “This is to make you pay for your dishonesty.”
“I’m going to kill you!”
Bang!
With a kick, Dean Qiao slammed against the wall and was convulsing on the ground.
Eldest Master Sun tilted his head to look at Li Yan.
The administrator standing at the side was so frightened that his knees bent and he knelt on the ground.
Li Yan said in a low and cold voice, “As long as you tell me who asked you to do this, I’ll help you save your son.”
Dean Qiao, who was lying on the ground, suddenly trembled and looked up at Li Yan.
In the next second, his body trembled from Li Yan’s cold expression.
At this moment, his mind was blank. He only knew that his son was about to be killed. If he asked the Sun family and Li Yan for help, he might have a chance to save his son.
At the thought of this, Dean Qiao said anxiously, “I’ll say, I’ll say… I was forced too. Someone captured my son and asked me to give him the authority over the technology building and block all the surveillance cameras inside. This way, they will let my son go.”
After saying this, Dean Qiao finally broke down and started crying.
“I didn’t want to do that either, but the person they took away is my son. As a father, I can’t watch helplessly as my son is killed by them. Those people are too terrifying.”
Li Yan asked, “Who are they?”
Chu Luo also walked over.
Dean Qiao shook his head. “I don’t know. Those people all wore masks. I’ve never seen their faces. Cough, cough…”
After saying this, Dean Qiao suddenly coughed.
It was obvious that Li Yan’s kick was a little ruthless.
Chu Luo took out a medicine bottle from her Heaven-and-Earth pouch and quickly poured one pill for him. “Dean Qiao, take it.”
Dean Qiao glanced at Chu Luo and subconsciously ate it.
Chu Luo stood up and said, “Tell me everything that the person who contacted you said.”
Dean Qiao thought for a moment and quickly said, “The other party said that I only need to give them permission to delete the defense authority for half an hour. They will handle the other things.”
Hearing this, Chu Luo turned to look at Li Yan and Eldest Master Sun and said to them, “There’s a special defense system in the R&D room of the gaming capsule. To decrypt and obtain those data, it will only take half an hour.. Only one type of person can do that.”
