Hidden identities of the AI Heiress
Chapter 547 - Chapter 547 Chapter 547 Something Happened

Chapter 547: Chapter 547 Something Happened Chapter 547: Chapter 547 Something Happened “Tomorrow, is it? No problem.”

A somewhat coarse voice came through from the other side, accompanied by rapid gasps.

Xie Ying felt a moment of surprise, then his face turned beet red, and he quickly said, “Let’s talk about the specifics when you come over tomorrow. I’m hanging up now.”

After ending the call, he let out a breath and clicked his tongue, “Young people these days have so much energy, even in broad daylight they just…”

“Just what?”

“Nothing, you’re better off not knowing.”

…

Zhou Chong ended the call and looked at the man in the duckbill cap whose neck he was squeezing, his face turning beet red.

“Speak, who sent you, and why did you target Lu Zhanxing?”

The man’s eyes darted around, and he said, “Don’t slander me, I was just coming to use the restroom. Who are you, anyway? Why are you grabbing me? Let me go now, or I’ll call the police.”

Far from letting go, Zhou Chong went so far as to knock the man out cold, “You little punk, you think I can’t handle you?”

He stuffed the man into a large trash bin, pushing it along while making a call, “Big brother, my end is handled. How is it going with the others?”

…

Meanwhile.

Lu Jingzhi had just finished discussing a partnership. He sat back in his car seat, pinched the bridge of his nose to ease the fatigue, and then told the driver, “Back to the company.”

“Yes, President Lu.”

Lu Jingzhi’s fingers paused, and he looked up to find the driver unfamiliar.

“New here?”

“President Lu, I was just hired a few days ago.”

Lu Jingzhi observed the robustly built driver and fell silent, thinking wouldn’t it be more appropriate for him to be in security?

“What’s your name?”

The driver said with a simple-hearted expression, “I’m Zhou Chen, President Lu can call me Xiao Chen.”

Lu Jingzhi, looking at the driver who was even more muscular than him, really couldn’t bring himself to call out the nickname “Xiao Chen.”

“Let’s head to the company.”

“Okay, President Lu, please hold on, it might be a bit fast.”

Lu Jingzhi hummed nonchalantly, and the next second, the car shot out like an arrow.

Lu Jingzhi: “…”

“It’s okay to slow down, I’m not in a rush.”

“Don’t worry, I am the best driver in our family.” Zhou Chen pressed the accelerator hard.

Lu Jingzhi thought it was a pity that this driver wasn’t participating in rally races.

Zhou Chen wore a simple-hearted smile on his face, his eyes sharp as he glanced through the rearview mirror.

The car that had been following them closely had now disappeared, and only then did he slow down, leisurely heading towards Lu Group.

Ensuring this tender President Lu would have a comfortable ride.

…

Zhou You opened the car door, looking at the man in the duckbill cap lying on the back seat, breathing his last.

He raised an eyebrow, “Did you get it out of him?”

Zhou Chong, still dressed in the TV station’s work uniform, nodded, “Someone paid him a sum of money to hide Lu Zhanxing.”

“Who was it?”

Zhou Chong shrugged, “Don’t know. What’s the situation on the other side?”

Zhou You’s eyes darkened, “Just like yours, someone paid them to take away Lu Jingzhi.”

This was no coincidence, it was premeditated.

Taking away the Lu brothers, but for what purpose?

Was it to threaten someone?

A sudden thought struck Zhou You, and his voice tightened, “Not good, Professor Qiao is in danger!”

Zhou Chong was equally shocked, “Who the idiot dares to mess with Professor Qiao? Are they waiting to be drawn and quartered?”

“Huge interests can easily drive people insane. Professor Qiao’s background is indeed strong, but there is no shortage of brave souls in this world.”

While explaining, Zhou You took out his phone to contact Qiao Yun, but found he couldn’t reach her; the signal was jammed.

He knew his guess was not wrong.

Today’s series of targeting was aimed at Qiao Yun.

Someone wanted to use control over Qiao Yun’s family to force her to do something.

Thankfully, Professor Qiao had the foresight to arrange protection for the Lu family members early on, even equipping them with positioning devices. Otherwise, if they had succeeded, it would have been difficult for Professor Qiao as well.

“First, head to the charity sale venue.”

Zhou Chong ordered Zhou You to drive.

Zhou You hastily started the car, anxiety gnawing at his heart.

If anything happens to Professor Qiao, that group of lunatics under her will definitely run wild, and then the whole of Shangjing City will be thrown into chaos.

…

Pei Ya had also learned that Qiao Yun was unreachable–he was at work, but his phone kept ringing incessantly.

Upon checking, he realized it was the research institute’s crowd clamoring.

[Something’s wrong, Professor Qiao is missing!]

[Where’s Pei Ya? Get out here, Professor Qiao is missing!]

[Professor Qiao is missing!]

[Professor Qiao is missing!]

Pei Ya: [I’m not blind, saying the same thing once is enough.]

[Professor Qiao’s phone signal has been lost for a minute now!]

[It’s been lost for a minute now!]

[It’s been lost for a minute now!]

Pei Ya, somewhat speechless: [Maybe there’s a problem with the phone.]

[Professor Qiao’s self-developed smart chip can’t be faulty, it must be signal blocking! An enemy that can block the signal of a phone developed by Professor Qiao is no simple foe!]

[Wait, we’ve already arranged a private plane, we’ll be there soon!]

Pei Ya recalled the foolish things this group was capable of and decisively stopped them: [I’ll handle it, Professor Qiao will be fine, you must trust in her ability.]

[You don’t even know Professor Qiao has vanished, what use are you!]

Pei Ya choked up: [Your arrival will only cause troubles, better you stay put at the research institute.]

[What use are you!]

[What use are you!]

Pei Ya: “…”

This was infuriating!

Han Wang: [Shut up, have you finished copying the security protocols?]

[…]

[…]

Han Wang: [Anyone who dares to run off, I’ll break your legs.]

Pei Ya looked at the suddenly quiet communication group and felt extremely exasperated internally.

Just then, Pei Ya received a private message from Han Wang.

[If we still can’t get in touch with Professor Qiao within ten minutes, I will help you commit suicide as an apology.]

Pei Ya humbly replied: [Alright, no problem.]

Then he contacted Zhou You and learned what had transpired.

After thinking deeply for a moment, Pei Ya told Zhou You, “Take people to the benefit art exhibition, and if anyone stops you, just tear down the venue.”

“Yes.”

After hanging up the phone, Pei Ya picked up his jacket and stood up; even though he believed in Professor Qiao’s abilities, he was still somewhat worried.

He feared that the mysterious organization had targeted Qiao Yun.

Not knowing the strength of the opponent, their motives, or who they were, put them at a disadvantage in the current situation.

…

Meanwhile.

In the conference room of the Li Group.

Li Hanzhou sat in a relaxed posture at the head of the table, his defined fingers tapping the table surface nonchalantly.

His face bore a dark expression, making it impossible to tell whether his mood was good or bad.

This left his subordinates trembling with nervousness as they reported their work to him.

Suddenly, something vibrated slightly.

He opened his half-closed eyes, and his gaze fell on the watch on his wrist.

The watch’s emergency contact light was showing a red status.

Li Hanzhou’s expression changed, and he stood up from his office chair.

His subordinates promptly fell silent, watching as the intimidating Li Ye left with a grim face.

They guessed anxiously in their minds, wondering what could have happened that made Li Ye look like he was about to commit murder.
