181: Chapter 181 Chen Yuqiong

Beijing.

In another villa.

Chen Yuqiong looked at the news about the Chen Group displayed on his laptop, his face turning livid.

He reached out to open another window, entered a string of URLs, jumped, and then continued typing.

After jumping three times in a row, he finally typed several strings of characters on the final page.

Next, came the waiting.

Chen Yuqiong picked up his teacup and took a small sip, trying his best to calm his mood, but his slightly trembling arm still betrayed his inner turmoil.

A few minutes later, his computer automatically popped up a video window, and a pale face appeared on the screen, wearing a smile.

"Mr. Chen, I remember saying, do not use this method to contact me unless necessary? The code I gave you is for transmitting important messages, not for idle chatter."

Chen Yuqiong was noncommittal and asked, "Have you received all the money I sent you?"

"Received." young man stopped talking, sighed, and continued to smile: "Mr. Chen is truly a straightforward person; doing business with Mr. Chen is very pleasant."

"But I don't know if doing business with you is pleasant." Chen Yuqiong's face was gloomy, and he said coldly: "Ning Hao, can you guarantee that this recording has not been leaked through other channels?"

"Is Mr. Chen distrusting me?"

"I cannot help but suspect." Chen Yuqiong took out his phone, pulled up the news page, and held it up to the camera: "Take a look."

"Mr. Chen, aren't you being a bit too sensitive?" Ning Hao frowned, glanced at it slightly, and said: "This news doesn't explicitly mention you by name."

"It can only be me." Chen Yuqiong took back his phone and said in a deep voice: "Group senior management, involved in a leak, related to Frontier Technology Co., Ltd. — apart from the Mark I System, I can't think of anything else."

"You suspect that Chen Zhongxuan has obtained this recording?" Ning Hao laughed: "Let alone whether this is possible, if Chen Zhongxuan really had this recording, why wouldn't he just hand it over to the police instead of announcing it first? Isn't that equivalent to telling you directly to get prepared?"

Chen Yuqiong shook his head slightly, his expression heavy.

"You don't understand Chen Zhongxuan."

"Chen Zhongxuan is extremely arrogant and extremely fond of appearing benevolent." Chen Yuqiong said heavily: "He is doing this specifically for me to see, to give me a chance to choose. If I choose wrong, what awaits me will be an even more miserable end."

Thinking of Chen Zhongxuan's past methods, Chen Yuqiong's mood became even heavier.

Ning Hao didn't care.

If Chen Zhongxuan wants to mess with Chen Yuqiong, what does that have to do with him?

"So, you think it was I who leaked the news to Chen Zhongxuan?"

Chen Yuqiong did not speak, but that suspicious gaze already said everything.

"Mr. Chen, you underestimate me, and you underestimate the voice disguise encryption you set up." Ning Hao smiled slightly: "In this world, there are no more than one hundred people who can crack and restore this disguise."

Chen Yuqiong frowned slightly, looking suspiciously at Ning Hao in the video.

This was exactly what he couldn't understand.

His voice was specially processed by an overseas team. According to the description from the foreign company, this level of encryption had already reached the pinnacle of current voice encryption. The number of companies worldwide capable of cracking it could be counted on one hand, and that includes themselves.

But... why did Ning Hao crack it so easily?

Is his technical level really that high?

"You mean..." Chen Yuqiong pondered: "Chen Zhongxuan is bluffing me?"

"No, quite the opposite." Ning Hao smiled: "If Chen Zhongxuan's personality is as you described, and there is a genius by his side, then everything makes perfect sense."

"A genius?" Chen Yuqiong was stunned: "You are talking about..."

Ning Hao's expression darkened slightly, and he spat out two words.

"Wang Shuo."

Wang Shuo?

Chen Yuqiong turned the name over in his mind for a moment before he remembered the source of it.

Isn't this the scapegoat his niece dragged in? He heard she even set up a company for him, specifically used to handle external public opinion.

He had heard this name; he heard that even the Mark I System he wanted most was created by him single-handedly.

But... such words are fine for coaxing children and outsiders, but trying to fool him?

Forget it.

With Chen Zhongxuan's calculating mind, he must have planned it for years, or even a decade, to be able to bring out something like this at a critical node.

He didn't lose unjustly; he was convinced.

But to say this person his niece dragged in casually is a genius?

A genius capable of cracking the voice encryption of top international teams?

That probability is even lower than a pie falling from the sky.

"This is impossible." Chen Yuqiong decisively rejected it.

"Nothing is impossible." Ning Hao said calmly: "Mr. Chen, believe me, if I had to find someone better than me at cracking this voice encryption, I can only think of Wang Shuo."

"As the designer and creator of the Mark I System, he has the ability and level."

...

After a few more minutes, Ning Hao took the initiative to end the video.

He could not maintain the connection for a long time; the longer the time, the greater the risk of being discovered.

Ignoring Ning Hao's words about contacting him less, Chen Yuqiong was still thinking about Ning Hao's comments regarding Wang Shuo.

A moment later.

Chen Yuqiong looked at the black promotional page on the screen and unlocked his phone.

"Book me a ticket for the 14th, flying to Hanzhong City."

...

Meanwhile, in the suburbs of Beijing.

Ning Hao hung up the video connection right on time and slumped into his chair.

The place he was currently in was still a homestay near the suburbs of Beijing.

There were relatively few cameras here, making it more stable and safe.

It must be said that if he hadn't joined this organization, with his abilities, even finding a place to stay would be a problem.

He could sleep in the open, but he couldn't do that forever, right?

He still had to crack the Mark I System as soon as possible; once he succeeded, he would take the money and run.

To hell with the stupid organization and the stupid dreams!

However...

"Chen Yuqiong, that idiot, probably won't be able to beat Chen Zhongxuan."

Thinking of the conversation with Chen Yuqiong just now, Ning Hao cursed silently, but he was calculating in his heart.

At the current stage, he still had to rely on this unknown organization.

And if he wanted the organization to provide more resources, he had to demonstrate his value. Currently, targeting Wang Shuo was the easiest way to gain organizational contribution points.

But... the possibility of relying on that idiot Chen Yuqiong to deal with Wang Shuo was already minimal.

This idiot would very likely be sent away by Chen Zhongxuan in one wave, either forced out of the Chen Group or forced into prison.

In his opinion, the possibility of being forced into prison was greater.

The reason Chen Zhongxuan wasn't acting now was definitely not because of some blind arrogance or showing benevolence as Chen Yuqiong said; he would rather believe that Chen Zhongxuan had unavoidable reasons.

He was waiting, waiting for an opportunity.

And in the last few days, what was the only thing that could make Chen Zhongxuan wait?

Ning Hao cast his gaze toward December 15th.

This was... Frontier Technology Co., Ltd.'s new product launch.

But at the same time, it would also release another product.

Mark I System 2.0!
