Hidden identities of the AI Heiress
Chapter 800 - Chapter 800 Chapter 800 Dont Tell Pei Yao

Chapter 800: Chapter 800: Don’t Tell Pei Yao Chapter 800: Chapter 800: Don’t Tell Pei Yao Pei Yao sighed, “Alright, what you say goes.”

“Mm.”

Qiao Yun tapped her finger on the mouse, staring blankly as if in a daze. After a moment, just when Pei Yao thought Professor Qiao had suddenly gone silent because she had something important to say, he heard her say indifferently, “There’s nothing for you here, you can hang up now.”

Pei Yao, the great steward: “Chirp.”

Qiao Yun actually wanted to ask Pei Yao about the Huo Family’s matter, but decided against it at the last moment.

She had never heard Pei Yao mention the Huo Family before, so it must be a secret to him. Chances were, even if she asked, he wouldn’t tell.

Qiao Yun decided to rely on herself.

She put down the phone, her slender fingers typing rapidly on the keyboard.

Window after window popped up, a succession of code flashing before her eyes. Such intense processing speed, if it weren’t for the fact that Qiao Yun’s computer was custom-made, it probably wouldn’t have coped.

A few minutes later, Qiao Yun clicked on the confirmation that popped up in a window.

Then, she picked up the milk Su Mian had prepared, her glossy black eyes fixated on the progress bar on the screen, sipping the milk in small gulps.

Time passed, second by second…

A few minutes later.

The progress bar completed its course.

One by one, programming documents popped up.

What appeared before Qiao Yun was the unfinished source code of the AI autonomous driving system from the Huo Research Institute.

Meanwhile, the researchers at the Huo Research Institute in K Port were yet to realize that someone had just breeched their most robust firewall, effortlessly and silently stealing their precious AI autonomous driving system data.

Qiao Yun glanced over it briefly, her eyes dimming slightly, then pulled up another set of source code to compare the two systems side by side.

It didn’t take long for the results to emerge.

The comparison showed that the programming of both systems had a 90% similarity. However, the code that Pei Yao gave her was more refined, built upon the foundation of Huo’s version.

Qiao Yun recalled what Shen Qi had said; the Huo Family had originally succeeded in the development but later encountered an accident, which led to the failure and suspension of their research.

She now had a bold conjecture.

The version she held might have originated from the Huo Research Institute, being the most refined programming, only it had landed in the hands of Pei Yao.

But how did it end up with Pei Yao?

Qiao Yun was just testing a theory because Shen Qi had mentioned that the Huo Family was researching an AI driving system, and the source code of the system successfully developed by Tianqi Research Institute was provided by Pei Yao. Moreover, there was Pei Yao’s inexplicably high level of interest in the Huo Family.

So she wanted to check into it, never expecting to actually uncover anything.

Pei Yao had a deep connection with the Huo Family.

Qiao Yun took out her phone, contacting Han Si at the institute: [I looked into the Huo Family in K Port, don’t tell Pei Yao.]

Pei Yao had always been the one handling these matters, but now that Qiao Yun wanted to understand things for herself, she had to find someone else since she couldn’t turn to Pei Yao.

Han Si was quite excited; Professor Qiao was actually asking him to do something!!!

Hahaha, he was like a peasant about to turn over a new leaf, finally having the chance to overthrow Pei Yao, this landlord!

[Okay, rest assured, give me a few days’ time.]

Qiao Yun’s lips pressed tightly together, her fingers lightly tapping the keyboard: [Mm.]

After all, K Port was the Huo Family’s stronghold, and Tianqi Research Institute had little contact with that place. To investigate something would still require some time.

After giving her instructions, Qiao Yun put the matter aside for the time being.

How to view the Huo Family would depend on the investigation results.

Qiao Yun closed her computer and went to bed.

At the same time, the three members of the Jiang Family were also on a plane back to Yuncheng, a mere two-hour journey from Beijing.

They didn’t reach their villa until late at night. Jiang Father, Jiang Shaocheng, had not yet gone to bed. Seeing them return, he casually asked, “How was the party?”

He had intended to attend in person, but had to bear the pain of letting his wife go instead because he needed to entertain a young master from the Huo Family.

At the mention of the party, Jiang Jing’s face nearly twisted, and she went straight upstairs without a word.

Jiang Yuan, feeling guilty, did not dare to linger either.

Jiang Shaocheng was slightly taken aback, “What’s wrong with these two children?”

“Nothing, they’re just tired.” Jiang Mother, Xu Qiao, naturally could not tell the truth, and she said with a straight face, “The party went smoothly.”

“That’s good then,” Jiang Shaocheng didn’t inquire further.

Xu Qiao breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the next day,

Jiang Shaocheng found that the business collaboration that had been going so well had suddenly fallen through. He hurriedly contacted the other party.

The reply was that they had found a better supplier. Although he was angry, there was nothing he could do about it.

But then a long-time partner abruptly stopped cooperating, and a prospective partner who was supposed to discuss a deal mysteriously said they would not come.

Jiang Shaocheng sensed something was amiss and, after making numerous inquiries, finally learned about the incident at the Li Family’s birthday banquet.

The sudden volte-face from the Li Family was a shock to him, and without further thought, he made a phone call to them.

Of course, having a direct conversation with the head of the Li Family was out of the question.

The person who answered was the Chief Steward, who had been waiting for Jiang Shaocheng’s call.

As the wealthiest man in Yuncheng, Jiang Shaocheng still had to politely address him, “Uncle Luo, I wish to speak with Director Li.”

The Chief Steward said cheerfully, “Is Director Jiang calling about the incident at the party?”

Jiang Shaocheng, puzzled, said, “I want to ask if there was anything we did wrong?”

The Chief Steward didn’t beat around the bush and bluntly stated, “You should ask your dear son what he did. At the Li Family’s banquet, he insulted our young miss and even tried to get physical with her! It was already quite polite to simply kick him out of the party!”

Jiang Shaocheng was stunned. He had never imagined Jiang Yuan would be so bold and immediately said, “Uncle Luo, please let me speak with Director Li. This matter is our fault, and I want to apologize to him.”

No matter what, they could not afford to offend the Li Family, and now they had lost a significant amount of business, which they needed to recover.

“There is no need,” the household manager said. “Our madam has stated that this matter ends here. Please ensure to discipline your son well, and do not let our madam be disappointed.”

As he spoke, he hung up the phone.

Jiang Shaocheng understood the hidden meaning in the Chief Steward’s words–if he did not discipline his son to Madam Li’s satisfaction, this matter would not be over.

His face was overrun with anger; he left work and went straight home.

Jiang Yuan had just woken up and was leisurely coming down from upstairs when he saw his father’s fiery glare. Before he could react, he was kicked to the ground with a yelp.

Xu Qiao and Jiang Jing were startled.

“Yuan’er, are you alright?” Xu Qiao rushed over, helping the wailing Jiang Yuan back up, and turned to question Jiang Shaocheng, “Are you insane? Why did you hit him for no reason?”

Jiang Shaocheng roared back with a gloomy face, “I want to beat him to death! I asked you how the party went yesterday, and you told me everything went smoothly! Kicked out and you call it smoothly?”

Xu Qiao was shocked and explained, “This has nothing to do with us; we did nothing. It was the Li patriarch, deluded by love, who treated us like that just to vent his lover’s anger!”

Jiang Shaocheng became even angrier, “You’re still lying now! What lover? They said it was Jiang Yuan who couldn’t see straight, trying to force himself on Li Miao!”

Jiang Yuan was already feeling guilty, but now that the matter was out in the open, fear flashed across his face. He had never expected the Li Family to tell his father about the incident.

However, he didn’t realize that all of this was part of the Li Family’s plan.
