Chapter 755: Chapter 752 Miss’s Concerns
Liu Wenxing took out the USB drive and handed it to Miss Xiao, who took it and carefully examined it.
Having settled back into his seat, Liu Wenxing heaved a big sigh of relief. After Lin Tian started driving, he asked curiously, "Wenxing, what are you nervous about? No one’s going to eat you."
Liu Wenxing pointed to the Xiao sisters in the back and spoke in a lowered voice, "The two beauties back there have an intense aura, especially Miss Xiao; her presence is too formidable."
"I didn’t feel that way," Lin Tian blinked, quite puzzled as to how Liu Wenxing could feel that way, "Maybe it’s because it’s your first meeting. After spending more time together, you’ll find Miss Xiao is quite friendly and adorable."
"You’re the brave one, facing such beauties every day and still staying cool. I couldn’t do that." Liu Wenxing secretly gave a thumbs up and said admiringly, still speaking softly, thinking Miss Xiao couldn’t hear him.
"Hehe, I, Lin Tian, am the Liu Xiahui of modern times; amidst the myriad of flowers, I remain unattached," Lin Tian chuckled, then started exaggerating his virtues with Liu Wenxing. His philosophy was that boasting was tax-free entertainment, for both himself and others.
"Cough, cough..." Miss Xiao coughed a few times, cutting him off. If she didn’t interrupt, who knows if he would have gone on to reveal some embarrassing tales.
Having been kissed and touched, Miss Xiao’s heart raced just thinking about it and couldn’t dare imagine what scene it would create if such matters were discussed in front of her sister.
"Miss Xiao can hear our conversation?" Liu Wenxing was taken aback and said, feeling very embarrassed that he had been overheard by a beautiful woman while speaking in such a manner.
"Of course. You talking through the car, and my sister can hear everything," Xiao Manxuan said proudly, clearly proud of her sister.
Miss Xiao didn’t join in their conversation but said, "I’ve looked over the USB drive; it’s not domestically produced. On the front of the USB drive, a pattern is etched with laser, and if you look closely, this pattern is the English letter ’S.’"
"The letter ’S’? What does it mean?" Lin Tian eyed her from the rearview mirror, intrigued.
"The letter ’S’ is the first letter of the English word for ’shield,’" Miss Xiao said.
"Shield?" Lin Tian questioned.
"Yes, it represents the name of the company that makes this kind of USB drive. Shield symbolizes that its encrypted drives are as strong as shields, very hard to break. The letter ’S’ is also the first letter of ’safety’, hence ’S’ also stands for safety," Miss Xiao explained.
"These USB drives are sold only to top-tier clients, but they are not available for sale domestically because the S company is unwilling to disclose the encryption methods used in the drives. Due to security concerns, our country doesn’t allow it to be sold in Huaxia. Do you understand what I mean?" Miss Xiao elaborated and then asked back.
Lin Tian thought for a moment and responded with surprise, "Are you suggesting that Sun Hai got this USB drive from abroad, and the information inside could likely be his confidential files with some foreign companies?"
"But that’s not right. Even if these USB drives aren’t sold domestically, Sun Hai could still buy it abroad and bring it back to use in Huaxia," Lin Tian further puzzled.
Miss Xiao shook her head and said softly, "If it were just an ordinary product, of course, that would be possible. However, it is not like that. Just like those enterprise-level servers that require a domestic license to use, would a company dare to use an illegal product? Furthermore, there are other local alternatives available, so there’s no need to risk buying this kind of USB drive."
"Of course, if what they’re doing is illegal to begin with, then that’s a different story," Miss Xiao added.
"From what you’ve just said, it’s almost certain that the information stored on this USB drive isn’t something benign. It could be that Sun Hai is betraying the company, secretly collaborating with foreigners to hollow out Xiao Group, or else Sun Hai is involved in illegal activities," Lin Tian analyzed.
"Indeed, either scenario is bad news for Xiao Group. Not to mention the attempt to hollow out the Xiao Group; if it is something illegal Sun Hai has done, it poses a crisis for the Xiao Group, given that Sun Hai is also a shareholder in the group. His troubles could drag the Xiao Group down," Miss Xiao sighed lightly.
So that was what Miss Xiao had already analyzed, no wonder she hurried back to the country. Lin Tian suddenly realized, feeling the same concerns he had previously anticipated.
"Once we decrypt it, we’ll figure out what to do. Sister and Lin Tian will definitely come up with a solution, just like what we did with the Bai Family," Xiao Manxue optimistically said, showing great confidence in Lin Tian.
Lin Tian remained noncommittal. There were solutions to the problem. If push came to shove, they could just eliminate Sun Hai completely.
Of course, Lin Tian wasn’t crazy, nor a pathological killer. Every person he killed had a compelling reason. Without sufficient cause, he wouldn’t randomly kill someone.
"We’re here," Lin Tian pointed to the landmark at the end of the road, the Xiao Group Building, and said calmly.
The building had an underground garage. With Xiao Manxue, the president, there, Lin Tian’s drive in was naturally smooth. Of course, even if Miss Xiao wasn’t present, Lin Tian could have shown his identification, as he also had presidential-level access to the building.
Logically speaking, the lab was even further below, so they should have headed downstairs, but Miss Xiao first took a dedicated elevator to her office floor. She crossed the corridor, then took another elevator down.
Once downstairs, Lin Tian was quite familiar with the surroundings, though he had only been there once before, the memory was still vivid.
The flower room was still filled with all sorts of strange plants, giving Lin Tian a sense of déjà vu as if he had returned to the Shrine’s flower room in Japan, which he had emptied and mysteriously brought back a nurse.
Fortunately, Kikuchi Mika kept herself busy at the Xiao Family’s house all day, seemingly repaying Lin Tian for saving her life through her diligence.
This aptly demonstrated the resilience of Japanese women, outwardly fragile but inwardly strong. An ordinary woman might not have been able to endure as she had.
This place was also a rare medicinal plant cultivation flower room, seemingly even larger than the one at the Shrine.
"Are you reminded of the flower room at the Shrine? That place must be rich in materials. I wonder how you dealt with them," Miss Xiao asked with interest as she led the way.
"You’ll find out soon enough," Lin Tian answered teasingly.
Xiao Manxuan curiously pricked up her ears, wanting to ask something more but felt that the place was inappropriate, so she held back. As for Liu Wenxing, he didn’t know what to say.
But his attention was entirely focused on the plants. For him, this was his first time witnessing such magical and stunning plants in his life, as if he had arrived on another planet.
After passing through the flower room, the lab, and the offices, and walking through a few more rooms, Miss Xiao led Lin Tian and the others to a corridor but then stopped in front of it.
