Hidden identities of the AI Heiress
Chapter 827 - Chapter 827 Chapter 827 Erase All Traces of Oneself

Chapter 827: Chapter 827: Erase All Traces of Oneself Chapter 827: Chapter 827: Erase All Traces of Oneself Jiang Jing watched Han Luo’s retreating figure, feeling that something was amiss, yet she couldn’t pinpoint what it was.

They were strangers with no prior ties, having spoken only twice so far. Why would he care so much about her assessment?

And to say that he would take care of this matter for her?

Wasn’t it too solicitous?

Jiang Jing even suspected that Han Luo might have taken a liking to her, but she hadn’t seen any love in his eyes.

Perhaps she was overthinking it.

Maybe Han Luo was interested in her talent, and given that Qiao Yun had offended him, they now had a common enemy.

…

In the room.

Huo Chi pushed the messy matters onto Jiang Shaocheng to deal with, effectively becoming a hands-off manager.

This infuriated Jiang Shaocheng so much that he wished he could beat Huo Chi up.

But who could he blame for his misfortune as the leader of this event?

Seeing Han Luo return, Huo Chi asked with an air of indifference, “Aren’t you supposed to be doing your own thing? What are you back here for?”

While Huo Chi had previously held some respect for Han Luo, now if it weren’t for Han Luo’s usefulness, he would have thrown him into the sea long ago.

Suppressing his anger, Han Luo replied submissively, “There’s something about Qiao Yun that I want to inform you of…”

“You’re talking about the girl with Li Miao?” Huo Chi reflexively frowned,

Without any nonsense, Han Luo went straight to the point, “I just found out she’s also participating in this year’s Tianqi assessment.”

Huo Chi said indifferently, “What does it matter to me if she participates or not? It’s just a shame. After all, she is talented. If she had come to the Huo Family, I could have offered her a handsome deal.”

In his mind, Han Luo sneered. Although he despised Tianqi, he had to admit that Tianqi was far more formidable than the Huo Family.

The Tianqi Research Institute was divided into four areas: A, B, C, and D. He had worked in area B and was just a step away from entering the core area.

Even a researcher from area B could easily outperform any top technician of the Huo Family, so one could only imagine how frighteningly strong the researchers from area A were.

Han Luo analyzed to Huo Chi, “Second Young Master, if we want to interfere during Tianqi’s assessment, she could become an obstacle.”

Huo Chi laughed heartily, with his legs crossed and an air of nonchalance, “You’re not even afraid of those people from the Tianqi Research Institute, but you actually fear she might thwart your plan? If you lack confidence in yourself now, I’m really concerned if our plan can succeed. Even if she’s technically proficient, she surely can’t be stronger than those people from Tianqi. If you can’t even deal with her, how do you plan to deceive them,”

“I’m just being cautious, Second Young Master. If it weren’t for her meddling, your plan would have succeeded already. You wouldn’t want her to spoil things a second time, would you? I’m confident in our plan, but we can’t rule out someone trying to meddle.”

Han Luo wouldn’t admit that, after Qiao Yun had cracked the doomsday virus, he indeed felt an inexplicable wariness towards her.

Han Luo thought that given time, Qiao Yun was bound to achieve great things, and he couldn’t let someone like her go out and cause harm.

If she lost and kept her promise to truly leave the circle, it wouldn’t be bad for him.

Huo Chi tapped the armrest of the couch with his fingertips, his face thoughtful. After a moment, he mischievously smiled, “You’ve reminded me. If she can’t make it to Tianqi’s assessment in time, and the Huo Family extends an olive branch to her now, offering her plenty of benefits, any smart person would be tempted.”

Although everyone praised Tianqi, he believed the Huo Family was no less inferior.

Han Luo didn’t think Qiao Yun would choose the Huo Family, and besides, Qiao Yun had a bet with Jiang Jing. However, he still echoed aloud, “You’re right, Second Young Master.”

“We need to handle this subtly, not letting her realize it’s our doing. Otherwise, we might not only fail to win her over but also turn her into an enemy.”

Huo Chi showed some interest; he wanted to recruit a technical talent like Qiao Yun to make amends, at least to avoid returning to the Huo Family in disgrace.

Han Luo asked, “What are you planning to do, Second Young Master?”

Huo Chi leisurely sipped his drink, pondering for a moment before saying, “You mentioned she has a brother who is a celebrity?”

“Correct.”

“How’s their relationship?”

“I’m not sure, but I’ve seen them on a variety show together, and their relationship seemed good,”

Huo Chi comprehended and nodded, “Okay, Young Master understands.”

Han Luo really wanted to ask what you understood, but this young master acted unpredictably and had a mercurial temperament, so it was better not to ask.

…

Qiao Yun didn’t know that Huo Chi did not hold a grudge against her. Instead, he wanted to win her over because of her technological skills.

After returning to the hotel, since it was already late, Qiao Yun went straight to her room under Li Hanzhou’s reluctant gaze.

Li Miao took out pajamas and asked Qiao Yun, “Qiaoqiao, do you want to take a shower first?”

“You go ahead,” Qiao Yun replied, taking out her phone and sitting cross-legged on the sofa.

Li Miao thought Qiao Yun wanted to use her phone for a while and entered the shower with the pajamas.

Qiao Yun, with a languid look in her eyes, appeared lazy as she tapped on her phone and then sent the surveillance footage to Huo Family’s young master’s phone.

Her idea was simple, if Huo Chi did something wrong, then let the most ruthless person in his family discipline him.

She had inquired about this from Li Hanzhou on her way back.

The person most dreaded in the Huo Family now was the young master.

After sending the surveillance video, Qiao Yun erased her traces so cleanly that it would be futile for anyone to try to trace her information.

After finishing all this, Qiao Yun put down her phone, stood up, went to the minibar, grabbed a bottle of mineral water, twisted open the cap, and had just taken a sip when her phone rang.

Qiao Yun raised an eyebrow and leisurely picked up the phone.

It was a call from Pei Ya.

Qiao Yun tapped on the screen a few times before answering, “What’s up?”

“Boss, did you go there to have fun, or to root out evil and uphold justice?” Pei Ya’s tone was rather helpless.

Qiao Yun, holding the mineral water, leaned against the sofa armrest and declared righteously, “Grandpa said, ‘When you see injustice on the road, draw your sword to aid,’ and besides, this matter involves me.”

Pei Ya muttered under his breath, “How did it end up involving the Huo Family…”

He was always on guard, careful not to cross paths with the Huo Family, but his boss had beaten him to it.

Qiao Yun’s ears twitched, and instead, she asked, “How did you find out about what happened today?”

Pei Ya: “…”

After a few seconds of silence, Pei Ya’s dry defense came through, “Han Wang was alarmed, how could I not know?”

Qiao Yun, without much emotion, went “Oh?”

Pei Ya inexplicably felt a chill run down his spine, his heart uneasy as if all the things he was doing secretly behind the scenes had been seen through by Professor Qiao.

Ah…

That shouldn’t be the case.

He hadn’t done much, just kept a close watch on Huo Chi.

Qiao Yun, out of boredom, wiggled her toes and asked, “The Huo Family is researching the AI driving system, right?”

“Ah, yes.”

That was public knowledge, not a secret.

Pei Ya even proudly bragged, “They won’t be able to develop it, and even if they do, it won’t be as intelligent as what our research institute has developed.”

Qiao Yun noticed the confidence in his words and asked Pei Ya directly.
