Hidden identities of the AI Heiress
Chapter 823 - Chapter 823 Chapter 823 Qiao Yun Without My Permission

Chapter 823: Chapter 823: Qiao Yun: Without My Permission… Chapter 823: Chapter 823: Qiao Yun: Without My Permission… When they heard his admission, the crowd angrily accused him, “Are you insane? Why would you do such a thing?”

“With so many people here, so many lives at stake, aren’t you afraid something might go wrong?”

“You are simply a disgrace to our circle!”

Han Luo gritted his teeth and said, “I just wanted to show you my abilities, I didn’t expect things to get this serious.”

“Ridiculous! Absolutely ridiculous!”

Xu Long angrily accused him, “Just to prove your capabilities, you disregarded everyone’s safety. You really shame your own talents. Now it seems there’s a reason why you would be expelled from the Tianqi Research Institute.”

Han Wang sneered disdainfully to add fuel to the fire, indicating his contempt for Han Luo.

Huo Chi said apologetically, “I’m very sorry for alarming everyone. Han Luo is an employee hired by the Huo family, and we cannot shirk our responsibility for this incident. We will definitely compensate for what needs to be compensated.”

Qiao Yun’s gaze fell on Huo Chi’s insincerely apologetic face, her lips twitched, “Whether it’s him or not, the surveillance will tell.”

Huo Chi spoke in a deep voice, “He has already admitted it, what surveillance would we still need to see?”

He had been very careful with this operation.

Although there was surveillance in the control room, it had been thoroughly deleted by him, leaving nothing to find.

Just as Huo Chi started to slightly relax, he heard Qiao Yun say.

“It’s okay that you deleted it, I restored it,” Qiao Yun slightly tilted her head, her eyes innocent, “And I’ve already released it.”

Huo Chi’s face changed drastically.

The next second.

Suddenly, a surveillance video popped up on the computer in the control room.

After all, it was a gadget from the Huo family; the footage was very clear, practically ultra-high definition.

The timestamp on the surveillance showed it was just a short while after the event began.

In the video, Huo Chi and Han Luo walked into the control room together, then Huo Chi, with a triumphant expression, pulled a USB drive from his suit pocket and handed it to a technician.

Then everyone clearly heard Huo Chi tell the technician, “Plant this virus into the defense system.”

Huo Chi’s face changed drastically, and he quickly shouted at the technician, “What are you standing there for? Turn it off!”

After some fumbling, the technician said urgently, “Young Master, it won’t turn off.”

Qiao Yun nodded her head, “Without my permission, no one can turn it off.”

The video continued to play.

The people present watched as, following the successful virus implantation, Huo Chi told Han Luo, “This is the perfect opportunity for you to prove your capabilities. Look, because of the virus, the defense system has automatically activated, and everyone is locked on the cruise ship…”

It was only then that they understood why doomsday had suddenly arrived here.

It all stemmed from Huo Chi wanting to target the Tianqi Research Institute, intending to demonstrate the power of the Huo Family in this way.

Rivalry among research institutes wasn’t uncommon, and they could understand that, but disregarding everyone’s safety was truly unforgivable.

Xu Long was the first to speak up, “What a move by the Huo Family, this isn’t over today!”

Huo Chi pretended to stay calm, wanting to argue a few words, but with the surveillance video being shown, his defense seemed feeble.

Huo Chi, the second son of the grand Huo Family, felt at a loss for the first time.

His hostile gaze landed on Qiao Yun; everything had been going perfectly according to plan, and if it weren’t for this girl popping up unexpectedly, his plan wouldn’t have failed.

Qiao Yun, under his intense gaze, wasn’t panicked at all, her lips briefly touching as she said, “You committed a wrongdoing, so it’s only right that everyone knows.”

Huo Chi was taken aback, “What have you done?”

“Nothing much.” Qiao Yun said lightly, “Just released the surveillance footage.”

Huo Chi’s complexion drastically changed, and the next second, his phone rang.

“Young Master, it’s bad. All the playable devices on the cruise ship are suddenly showing the video of you wanting to harm everyone!”

Huo Chi, bewildered, roared, “Do I need to teach you what to do? Turn it off right now!”

“It’s turned off! But we don’t have the authority to shut off the guests’ phones.”

Huo Chi was panicked, with only one thought in his mind at that moment.

It’s over!

If this escalates, the people in his family will definitely not let him off.

Especially his older brother.

Huo Chi shivered, not because he was scared of the plan being exposed, but because he feared his own older brother.

At that moment, all the guests at the event and in the banquet hall, just relieved to have dodged disaster, were stupefied by the video playing on the big screen.

What’s going on?

Was today’s incident orchestrated by Huo Chi himself?

This is outrageous!

Is the Huo Family so great?

The crowd expressed their anger, and the person in charge at the scene wanted to confront Huo Chi for an explanation.

The atmosphere in the control room was very strange.

Jiang Shaocheng, as a co-organizer, wished he could return to a few days ago and stop himself from collaborating with Huo Chi.

Now that Huo Chi had caused a huge mess, he couldn’t escape involvement, and it was possible that some might think he was in collusion with Huo Chi!

“Jingjing, what should we do about this?”

“Dad, I don’t know, I had already asked you to be careful, but you said it would be fine.” Jiang Jing had felt from the start that this collaboration came too easily, and indeed, there was a problem.

But she didn’t have the time to think about that now as she was also troubled.

Han Luo was a fake! She had been deceived!

Yet the information provided by Han Luo had indeed been very helpful to her.

Jiang Jing closed her eyes, really not wanting to admit that she was very envious of Qiao Yun at this moment.

So dazzling, so confident.

Not only had she decoded the virus, but she had also exposed Huo Chi’s scheme.

“Let’s get out of here.” Qiao Yun gently tugged at Li Hanzhou’s sleeve to tell him they were leaving.

All the noise from so many people arguing was bothering her.

She had done what she needed to do, and from here, she didn’t need to do anything else. The wrath of so many guests was enough to throw the Huo Family into chaos.

As for Han Luo, unless the Huo Family still wanted to shelter him, he would have nowhere to go and would be completely cut off from this circle.

Li Hanzhou always went along with Qiao Yun and said softly, “Okay.”

Seeing Professor Qiao preparing to leave, Han Wang hurriedly followed. As she passed Han Luo, she stared at him for several seconds and coldly said, “You’re finished!”

Han Luo’s eyes widened in fear, already imagining the harsh fate awaiting him from the Tianqi fanatics.

Su Qingyan couldn’t help but glance at Han Wang.

This glance, however, held different implications in Jiang Jing’s eyes. She pursed her lips, her eyes full of grievance, and whispered to clarify, “Qingyan, we didn’t know Huo Chi would do this.”

There was no emotion in the depths of Su Qingyan’s eyes, “The words you say now are hard to believe.”

Jiang Jing opened her mouth wanting to explain further, but Su Qingyan didn’t want to listen any longer.

Li Hanzhou, trailing a few steps behind Qiao Yun, swept his piercing gaze over the frantic Huo Chi, casually adjusted his cuffs, and spoke in an icy voice, “Young Master Huo need not worry, I’ve already sent people to greet Mr. Huo and, by the way, discuss the payment for today’s emotional distress.”

He was referring to the current Family Head of the Huo Family.

Targeting a child, it was natural to severely punish the Huo Family.

A casual remark yet it left Huo Chi stiff-limbed and chilled to the bone.
