Hidden identities of the AI Heiress
Chapter 859 - Chapter 859 Chapter 859 Otherwise Bear the Consequences

Chapter 859: Chapter 859: Otherwise, Bear the Consequences Yourself Chapter 859: Chapter 859: Otherwise, Bear the Consequences Yourself She was originally playing with Lu Shiran and the others, but then Han Wang asked her if she wanted to come to the institute for a visit.

Of course, it wasn’t the real R&D base, just Tianqi’s public research institute.

Having not returned for a long time, Qiao Yun decided to take a look.

Li Hanzhou said, “Give me the address, I’ll come pick you up.”

“Okay.” Qiao Yun didn’t refuse Li Hanzhou’s offer to pick her up and gave him the address.

It took over two hours to drive there, and Li Hanzhou didn’t go in, but waited outside the gate.

Li Hanzhou sat in the car and after waiting for a while, he saw Qiao Yun’s figure from a distance.

Without needing Li Hanzhou to get out of the car to greet her, Qiao Yun already reached out to open the passenger door, got into the car without dawdling, then closed the door and fastened her seatbelt, her voice tenderly asking, “Have you been waiting long?”

“Not long.” Li Hanzhou turned his head to look at her, and seeing her relaxed and pleased, he couldn’t help but smile as well, “You really do love doing research.”

Qiao Yun pursed her lips, her eyes seemingly bright, “Because it’s interesting.”

With her vast wealth of knowledge and having once been an emotionless, desireless AI, she was destined to be out of sync with those around her.

Doing research was the only way she found to relax.

“I even made a lot of little robots before,” Qiao Yun said slowly, “They kept me company for a long time.”

Even though Pei Yao and the others were there.

But Qiao Yun wasn’t the type to confide in them, so she made many robots that could listen to her talk. These listeners, who wouldn’t respond and had no emotions, made her feel at ease.

Li Hanzhou looked at her intently, “Now you have me, you have your family, you can talk to us.”

“Mhm.” Although Qiao Yun had let them into her world, she hadn’t yet become accustomed to confiding in them, but she was always trying to change.

Li Hanzhou knew that Qiao Yun mentioned these things offhandedly, not out of sadness or pain, yet he still changed the subject, “There’s something about the Huo family that I need to tell you.”

“Oh?” Qiao Yun was indeed distracted.

Li Hanzhou shared his suspicions about Huo Lin with Qiao Yun.

As a party involved, Qiao Yun had the right to know. Huo Lin might be using Tianqi to make Huo Chi slip up, so he could deal a heavy blow to Huo Chi and also cut down the power of the Huo family’s third uncle.

After listening, Qiao Yun nodded slowly, her face showing no emotion, “So, Huo Lin has taken advantage of Tianqi.”

“…” Li Hanzhou was silent for a while, “It seems that could be said.”

Qiao Yun blinked, her eyelashes fluttering, “Having taken advantage, he should show some sincerity in his apology, right?”

Li Hanzhou was taken aback.

“I know what to do now.” Qiao Yun actually wasn’t interested in the Huo family’s internal strife, but when it involved Tianqi, that was a different matter.

However, from beginning to end, Huo Lin hadn’t really done anything; it was all Huo Chi jumping up and down.

Moreover, she had already made the Huo Research Institute pay a hefty price, and in the upcoming press conference, the Huo family was going to be slapped in the face again.

But since the internal strife had spilled over to Tianqi, Qiao Yun was still a bit annoyed. After thinking for a moment, she took out her phone and made a call to Han Wang.

Han Wang answered quickly, “Teacher?”

Qiao Yun spoke indifferently, “I want you to contact Huo Lin.”

“Ah?”

Qiao Yun said firmly, “Tell him that Tianqi has suffered heavy losses, the Huo family is the main culprit, and they need to compensate Tianqi.”

Li Hanzhou raised his eyebrows upon hearing this.

Han Wang was flabbergasted, “Compensate?”

“Yes. I want two billion.”

Han Wang: ???

Qiao Yun curled her lip, then changed her mind, “Never mind, that seems a bit little, let’s make it ten billion instead. Give them one day to prepare. Otherwise, they will bear the consequences.”

Han Wang was a little stunned.

Jumping from two billion to ten billion, was the price hike a bit too ruthless?

Truly the style of Professor Qiao.

Han Wang didn’t ask too much, anyway, Professor Qiao’s orders were sacred, and whatever Professor Qiao wanted to do was always right.

“I understand, I will make sure they carry it out to the letter.”

Qiao Yun said thanks for the hard work, then cheerfully hung up the phone; actually, she felt that ten billion was still a bit too little.

Li Hanzhou didn’t expect Qiao Yun to do this, and he chuckled to himself, “Qiaoqiao, you really are too adorable.”

Ten billion wasn’t a lot, but for a major family like the Huo Family, most of their wealth was held as liquid assets. To suddenly come up with ten billion in one day, even a family like the Huo Family would be in a tight spot.

Especially since they had already paid out a lot of money due to Huo Chi’s incident.

But if they didn’t want to pay, the kid definitely had ways to make them pay.

Qiao Yun blushed at the praise.

She didn’t feel that she was close to being cute.

Qiao Yun made a serious face and explained, “Research takes a lot of money, and since people are willing to give it, and it’s compensation, it can be taken.”

As for what Huo Lin was feeling when he suddenly received Han Wang’s call, saying that they had to pay ten billion in compensation, that was none of Qiao Yun’s business.

She didn’t know how Han Wang communicated with them, but by the next day, the ten billion had indeed been transferred into the account.

Such a huge sum of money would scare anyone silly.

Qiao Yun had no concept of money, so she merely told Han Wang that she got it.

Later, Han Wang told Qiao Yun that when she relayed this demand to Huo Lin, she could clearly feel his face turn dark, probably not expecting Tianqi to be so bold with their demands.

Han Wang simply said, “If you choose not to give the compensation, then we’ll let the whole world know what the Huo Family has done to Tianqi.”

Because of that sentence, the compensation was paid.

Han Wang lamented once again, so why provoke Professor Qiao?

…

Meanwhile, at City Hospital.

Huo Chi was half-reclining in a hospital bed with an IV drip in his arm, his face pale and bloodless, looking as if he was at death’s door.

His eyes brimmed with hatred as he said frantically, “Dad, you have to help me take revenge! We can’t let it go like this!”

Huo Chi was buried for two whole days before being found by his father. At the time, he and Han Luo were severely dehydrated after not eating or drinking for two days and were confused when they were dug out.

He thought he’d been rescued and was taken to the hospital for treatment. When he woke up, however, he was told that his legs, due to not receiving treatment in time, would be confined to a wheelchair from now on.

He hated!

He hated so much!

He hated Huo Lin, Li Hanzhou, Qiao Yun, and Han Luo, he hated everyone who had ever been an obstacle to him.

Huo Chi’s father saw the depth of hatred in his eyes and looked at him with disappointment, then dropped a bombshell, “Huo Lin has already announced to the public that, starting today, you are no longer a member of the Huo Family, and all your actions are unrelated to the Huo Family.”

“What?” Huo Chi felt as if he’d been struck by lightning. He had some confidence in talking about revenge because he was a member of the Huo Family.

Li Hanzhou treating him this way was an attack on the Huo Family.

What was his father saying now?

He was disowned?

And Huo Lin had made it known to all?

Huo Chi felt a chill run through his body; he could imagine how those he had offended in the past would deal with him now without the Huo Family name as his shield.
