Chapter 852: Chapter 852: Sorry, I’ve Caused You Trouble Chapter 852: Chapter 852: Sorry, I’ve Caused You Trouble “Alright, although I know Jiang Jing will indeed be infuriated.”

“But Han Luo did in fact sabotage Jiang Jing, it’s better to let Jiang Jing obsess over Han Luo instead of always fixating on her.”

“She hadn’t intended to get involved with Jiang Jing’s business, it was just the look in Jiang Jing’s eyes just now. Even if she wasn’t attuned to human emotions, she could still see the hatred in them.”

“Li Hanzhou thought the naughty kid was too adorable, he raised his hand and ruffled Qiao Yun’s hair, ‘It’s about time, are you going to the assessment site?'”

“Qiao Yun nodded, ‘Yes.'”

“‘Sister, let me take you there and then wait for you at the venue,’ Lu Shiran insisted on taking her without giving Qiao Yun a chance to object.”

“Qiao Yun did not want to reject her brother’s kindness and thus agreed.”

…

Over here.

“Jiang Jing was indeed on the verge of exploding in anger, her complexion ashen. Xu Qiao, standing by her side, also had a similarly unpleasant expression.”

“Xu Qiao asked in confusion, ‘Jingjing, what do you think she means by suddenly saying that?'”

“‘How would I know?’ Jiang Jing replied irritably.”

“Yet in her mind, she couldn’t help but think, could it be that Qiao Yun didn’t lie to her, and there really was a virus planted in the software?”

“She carefully recounted the events and ultimately pinned the suspect as Han Luo.”

“The first time they met, Han Luo had generously provided her with some reference materials, perhaps that was when something was tampered with.”

“And Han Luo definitely held animosity towards Tianqi Research Institute.”

“Jiang Jing was so angry she almost fell backward in shock. She had once thought highly of Han Luo, considering him a decent person and Tianqi too cruel towards him. She never expected that Han Luo had approached her with ulterior motives!”

“She was used by someone!”

“She was actually used by someone!”

“This realization caused Jiang Jing’s face to alternate between shades of green and white, looking quite unsightly.”

“She dared not think further, afraid that in the end, Qiao Yun might actually be innocent.”

“It was at this moment Xu Qiao said, ‘Even if what she said is true, she knew all this yet didn’t tell you at the time. She waited until you were out of the running to mention it, you see, I told you she was deliberately targeting you.'”

“Jiang Jing’s expression froze, her eyes slowly becoming resolute, ‘Mom, you’re right.’

“She completely forgot that during the assessment period, regardless of what happened–even external factors–the examiners weren’t allowed to intervene, since being able to adapt on the spot was also very important.”

“Xu Qiao was thinking that if Qiao Yun dared to let her precious daughter be wronged, she definitely would tell the senior Mrs. Li, of course, she planned to exaggerate the story.”

“But the most urgent task was to salvage Jiang Jing’s dignity.”

…

“Tianqi’s assessment wasn’t that complicated. The first round kept ten people, the second round tested research and development capabilities, and in the end, only three were left, one of whom was Xu Fang’s brother.”

“Counting the preliminary national screening from the start, nearly a thousand people were reduced to just three, indicative of Tianqi’s rigorous standards. It’s no wonder so many people were desperate to get in.”

“Once you’re in Tianqi, your future success is guaranteed.”

“Of course, that excludes some with ill intentions, like Han Luo.”

“After the assessment was over, Qiao Yun didn’t linger. She said goodbye to Han Wang and was ready to leave.”

“Han Wang reluctantly tried to keep her, ‘Teacher, aren’t you coming back to the institute with us? Everyone misses you a lot.’

“‘Next time, I’ll bring my family with me,’ Qiao Yun wanted to return with her family.”

“Han Wang couldn’t help but feel envious of Professor Qiao’s family, but finally sighed, ‘We’ll wait for you, I’ll see you out.’

“‘No need, you go on with your work,’ Qiao Yun declined.”

“Since the assessment had just ended, Han Wang had to stay and say a few words to the candidates.”

“Han Wang hesitated for a moment, but then decided to do as Professor Qiao suggested.”

…

“While waiting for the elevator, Qiao Yun contacted Pei Yao.”

Pei Yao was still working himself to death at the group when he suddenly received a call from Qiao Yun. He felt it odd that she would contact him at this time–could something major have happened?

“Boss, do you have any orders for me?”

“Yes, there is something.” At that moment, the elevator arrived. Qiao Yun walked into the elevator and pressed the button to go to the first floor. “The AI system needs to go public.”

Pei Yao was so suddenly informed about this that he couldn’t process it immediately and was stunned for quite a while.

Qiao Yun spoke unhurriedly, “Somebody wants to steal it, so it’s better to go public.”

“What? Who wants to steal it?” Pei Yao was shocked, and before Qiao Yun could reply, a thought flashed through his mind. He spoke in a grim tone, “Is it the Huo Family?”

No wonder Professor Qiao seemed to be paying attention to the Huo Family lately, and Huo Chi, with no foresight, tried to sling mud at Tianqi. It turned out to be about the AI system.

With a complicated tone, he said, “Sorry, I have caused you trouble.”

If it weren’t for him having a brainwave a few years ago about setting up the AI project, all these troubles wouldn’t exist now, nor would the Huo Family have gotten involved.

Qiao Yun didn’t like to hear this and frowned slightly, “You shouldn’t think like that. You are my family, and no one is allowed to bully you.”

Pei Yao was so touched he nearly broke down, “Boss, you are too kind. Since that’s the case, when will you come to take over the group?”

Qiao Yun responded coldly, “Not considering it.”

Pei Yao: “…”

His tears welled up again.

Pei Yao suggested, “Let me take care of the press conference.”

Qiao Yun was silent for a while before telling him, “Members of the Huo Family might come.”

“…”

There was silence on the other end for a while, and then a relaxed voice came through: “Is that so? It doesn’t matter if they do come. I consider Yaoyao like my own daughter, so naturally, it’s my responsibility.”

“Alright.”

Qiao Yun agreed.

Although Qiao Yun didn’t know the exact relationship between Pei Yao and the Huo Family, since he insisted, the professor naturally pampered him.

Qiao Yun didn’t talk much with Pei Yao; after informing him of the matter, she hung up the phone and went to meet with Li Hanzhou.

After the assessment ended, Li Hanzhou came over to wait for Qiao Yun, at the same time his phone rang.

“Sir, we went to the hotel but couldn’t find Huo Chi. The front desk said he checked out.”

Li Hanzhou’s eyes darkened as he thought for a few seconds and then said, “Go to the airport and look for him.”

“Yes.”

Li Hanzhou’s lips curled into a cold smirk, and his tone remained lazily nonchalant, “He likes to run, so let’s make it so he can never run again.”

“Understood.”

…

Meanwhile.

Huo Chi, out of fear of Huo Lin, booked a flight and rushed to the airport without stopping, intending to flee the country first and lay low for a while. Han Luo was sitting beside him.

His plan was to coax Han Luo back to K port and make him take the blame.

Han Luo wasn’t stupid; he immediately saw through Huo Chi’s intentions. Fortunately, he had a lot of leverage on Huo Chi, so he threatened him to take him along.

Now that the plan had failed, he had completely made it onto Tianqi’s blacklist. If he continued to stay in the country, he certainly had no future; he might as well gamble on leaving the country.

No matter how powerful Tianqi was, could they reach into other countries?

As everyone knows, scientists from other countries have always looked down upon those from his own. Moreover, his former mentor abroad is a well-known research magnate in the M country. It just so happened that he could go seek refuge with his mentor.

When he chose Tianqi in the past, his mentor expressed incomprehension and regret.

Just now, he had already contacted his mentor, who, unaware of what he had done, welcomed him warmly.

Han Luo closed his eyes and thought to himself that once he settled down, he would always have a chance to make a comeback.
