"Damn, your skills are impressive, actually hacking into the school’s computer lab. Just be careful not to leave any traces; otherwise, if you’re caught, you’ll be expelled," Lin Tian said in surprise, praising Liu Wenxing’s skills while also worrying about him.
Lin Tian was well aware of Liu Wenxing’s family situation. He felt uneasy thinking that Liu could be expelled over this matter, which would be a huge blow to his parents.
"Brother Tian, don’t worry. The managent of the school’s computer lab is quite lax. As far as I know, our school hasn’t hired a cybersecurity officer, and even if they had, they definitely wouldn’t find . I’m just making use of idle resources; I’m not doing anything bad," Liu Wenxing confidently stated.
"That’s good. The USB drive isn’t actually mine, it should be related to Sun Decai’s father. This morning, Sun Hai ca looking for ; he’s already suspicious that I have the USB drive," Lin Tian briefly explained what had happened that morning.
"Related to Sun Decai’s family? Like father, like son; Sun Decai is no good, and his father is not much better. If Sun Hai is so eager to get the USB drive back, I guess there must be sothing shady on it," Liu Wenxing analyzed.
He felt an imnse disdain whenever Sun Decai was ntioned. In Liu Wenxing’s view, seducing a friend’s girlfriend, betraying and insulting a friend, those were unforgivable actions. Lin Tian, being the person involved, patted him on the shoulder, telling him to let it go.
"Wenxing, your analysis matches mine, I also suspect there’s sothing shady on the USB drive that Sun Hai doesn’t want exposed. He claims it’s corporate secrets; I hardly believe it. If it were said by Miss Xiao, maybe, but Sun Hai is just a shareholder, not involved in managing or operating the whole group. It’s unreasonable for him to have a USB drive with corporate secrets," Lin Tian speculated as well.
"If there’s indeed sothing shady related to Sun Hai on the USB drive, so much the better. Once we decrypt the USB drive, we could get a hold of Sun Hai’s Achilles’ heel and even send him to prison. That would prevent Sun Decai from causing any more trouble, also serving as revenge for you, Brother Tian," Liu Wenxing said fiercely.
"I’m very happy that you’re thinking about getting revenge for , but business matters aren’t as simple as you think," Lin Tian said, furrowing his brows slightly.
Liu Wenxing first thought of revenge, but Lin Tian considered even deeper implications. If the USB drive indeed contained illegal evidence against Sun Hai, Xiao Group would be in trouble.
As of now, Sun Hai was still the second largest shareholder of Xiao Group, owning ten percent of the group. Although his share didn’t compare to that of the Xiao Family, he still had significant influence.
The worst part isn’t this, but as a shareholder of Xiao Group, any misconduct by Sun Hai would surely implicate Xiao Group.
Not to ntion the investigations by the comrcial cri investigation departnts into Xiao Group, just the news leaking would definitely cause Xiao Group’s stock to plumt, worse than what had happened during the Xiao Jewelry Store incident.
Recently, with the opening of Tianxue Jewelry and Huaxia Pharmaceutical Group’s investnt in elixir developnt, along with Miss’s series of operations, Xiao Group’s performance was flourishing, developing very well.
However, if Xiao Group got entangled in an investigation, aside from the stock plumting, what was more crucial was the alienation by business partners, putting the Xiao Family in a difficult situation, arguably worse than any problem they had faced before.
In the business world, many eyed the Xiao Family’s significant assets, Rizhao Group, the Bai Family, even the Li Family, and other hidden business forces.
Whether they intended to target the Xiao mother and daughter, absorb Xiao Group, or coveted the Xiao Family’s elixir recipe, these potential business rivals would definitely kick them when they’re down.
Even Huaxia Pharmaceutical Group, though currently a partner, should Xiao Family’s business falter or go bankrupt, Huaxia might be the first to throw in money to acquire Xiao Group.
At the Xiao Family, there was an Elixir Recipe that the Huaxia Pharmaceutical Group desired, along with a prescription for Healing dicine in Lin Tian’s hands, a national-level classified prescription. Nobody would believe that the Huaxia Pharmaceutical Group wouldn’t want it.
When bankruptcy occurred, it wasn’t up to the Xiao Family to decide not to sell.
"What is Brother Tian thinking about?" Liu Wenxing also noticed that Lin Tian seed off and asked with curiosity.
Lin Tian thought for a mont and still decided to briefly explain the potential consequences the situation might trigger. As Liu Wenxing listened, his eyes widened in shock more and more.
He had not expected that a simple USB drive could potentially trigger such severe consequences!
"Brother Tian, thank you for trusting so much and telling about this important matter," Liu Wenxing said very solemnly.
Lin Tian patted his shoulder and laughed, "What are you talking about? We are brothers, who else can I trust if not you? Besides, the USB drive still needs your decryption skills. I told you about the potential consequences because I want you to be cautious and take good care of the USB drive."
"Don’t worry, Brother Tian, I always carry the USB drive with , the person and the drive are inseparable," Liu Wenxing said, patting his chest solemnly.
"Wenxing, the USB is important, but it’s not worth more than a life. In my view, even if the USB contained a Swiss Bank account worth a hundred billion euros, it wouldn’t be as important as my brother’s life. Money can be earned, but a brother only has one life, do you rember that?" Lin Tian said earnestly, looking at Liu Wenxing.
Liu Wenxing scratched his head and chuckled, "I got it, Brother Tian. It’s just that I’ve been playing League of Legends recently and shouting ’the person is here, the tower is here’ so much that I couldn’t help but blurt it out."
"You rascal." Lin Tian shook his head helplessly, recalling the slogan about League of Legends from the morning, and chuckled a bit. The allure of this ga was truly powerful, captivating everyone from elentary students to working adults.
He laughed and said, "You don’t need to be nervous. I’m just speculating on the worst-case scenario. Maybe it’s Sun Hai’s mistress list, and we could grab hold of his vulnerability, heh heh."
"That would be great, but it’s a pity. If we could use the Xiao Group’s Nuwa for computing, we could decrypt the USB in one day, no, in a few hours," Liu Wenxing said regretfully.
"Nuwa?" Lin Tian was taken aback and asked, puzzled.
"Yes, Nuwa, that’s the na of the Xiao Group’s supercomputer. Didn’t you know her na, Brother Tian?" Liu Wenxing asked back, even more puzzled.
"I knew that the Xiao Group’s laboratory had a supercomputer, but I really didn’t know its na; that a supercomputer even has a na like a person." Lin Tian shook his head, stating the truth.
"It’s not unusual, all supercomputers have nas. The top-ranked supercomputer in the world is ours from Huaxia, called Tianhe. The second-ranked is from Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Mi Country, called Titan. The third one is also from Mi Country, called Blue Gene. The fourth one is from Japan, called K..." Liu Wenxing started to speak incessantly.
Lin Tian quickly interrupted him, saying, "Stop, I got it. Now I’ll call Miss Xiao."
