Asked you to write a book, not to confess your criminal record!

Over half an hour later.

In the office, doctors, secretaries, and other miscellaneous people had all dispersed, leaving only Yu Qin with a grave expression, and Lucas, who had barely escaped with his life after being bandaged up.

The secretary had brought him a wheelchair.

Lucas sat in the wheelchair, cursing inwardly, feeling that misfortunes really never came singly—he had hit a streak of bad luck.

They had lost the lawsuit, Steve had been taken away, Karl had been arrested, and his own knee was injured.

Just when his wound had been dressed,

Sania Weapons Research Company had called Yu Qin directly, speaking in a very nasty tone. He could vaguely hear some of it from the other end, cursing at Yu Qin, saying that she hadn't properly investigated Lin Chuan's background, resulting in them provoking a massive entity.

Now, they might face retaliation from the National Weapons Research Institute—a lawsuit.

Since they had initiated the lawsuit against Lin Chuan, would the National Weapons Research Institute strike back on Lin Chuan's behalf, using their own method against them?

The answer was clear to Lucas, even without using his recently injured knees—of course, they would!

Right now, what worried Sania Weapons Research Company the most was whether they could detect that the evidence in Lin Chuan's hands, which was falsified, was fake!

If they couldn't detect it...

GG!

Because Karl had done the same kind of evidence falsification, and they hadn't been able to spot it either.

Just how good was Lin Chuan's technical skills?

They didn't know.

On the phone, Yu Qin repeatedly emphasized that even if the National Weapons Research Institute sued Sania, she would coordinate with the Morgan Group to fight alongside Sania and bear the losses.

And only then did Sania's company's anger slowly subside.

But!

They hadn't anticipated how swiftly the National Weapons Research Institute's counterattack would come.

That evening.

The night of December 20th.

As night fell, hiding the remaining light of the setting sun, Lucas sat in the wheelchair in front of the window. The blue hues of the evening sky filtered through the glass pane into his vision, piling on another heavy layer of gloom to his already injured body and soul, creating a suffocating and decrepit shroud over his head!

Yu Qin stood beside him, glanced at his leg, then was reminded of the champagne they had uncorked earlier.

The champagne had already been cleaned up.

But the attitude of popping the champagne was starkly different from now.

If uncorking the champagne was akin to waiting at White Jade Capital, then now, they had fallen into the eighteenth layer of hell, enduring torture.

The turn of phrases between the two by the window resembled that of the joker cards in a deck of playing cards.

The ring-ring-ring—

The shrill ring of the mobile phone burst forth!

Lucas's heart skipped a beat, suddenly feeling as if he might be unable to breathe.

Yu Qin's face tightened, and her eyebrows had already begun to furrow.

When hit by a major setback, plummeting from heaven to hell, one is very afraid of receiving phone calls, even unwilling to hear any bit of news.

These messages were likely to add insult to injury.

Yu Qin sat motionless for a long time.

Finally, she still took out her phone and answered the call.

It was the President of Sania Company on the line.

On the phone,

the President of Sania exploded like firecrackers, rapidly speaking with a voice that was hoarse with exhaustion, "Yu Qin, just now, I received a message from the court, the Weapons Research Institute there has already sued us, demanding we immediately cease infringement and compensate 30 billion! 30 billion in US Dollar!"

Hearing this, Lucas opened his mouth but was utterly speechless.

In the end, he could only utter one word, "Fuck!"

Yu Qin's face was ashen, biting down hard on her lower lip, "I know, I will handle this issue, and if we lose the lawsuit, I'll cover for it!"

"How will you cover for it?"

The President of Sania directly asked back loudly, "This blow is like a direct cut to my main artery. If we lose the lawsuit, it doesn't matter whether it's you or me, our reputations in the arms circle will be completely ruined!"

Yu Qin had no rebuttal.

Her reputation had already suffered a serious blow after losing today's lawsuit at Anling Court.

To lose again in the next round...

30 billion US Dollar, neither Sania nor she could afford it.

The President of Sania cursed for a long time, using crude language, then hung up the phone, leaving Yu Qin silently struggling within. In her heart, she seethed with hatred towards Lin Chuan.

Tonight's wind was restless, howling as it blew in through the window.

Yu Qin didn't see the bright moon, only the dark sky and the dirty windows that hadn't been cleaned, with the shadows outside akin to Lin Chuan gesturing threateningly, and the rustling noise as if Lin Chuan was laughing scornfully.

She knew, with Lin Chuan's intelligence, he must surely be aware that she had orchestrated the operation.

The two were locked in an invisible battle of wits.

In the first half, she had lost miserably.

But she wouldn't concede!

A determined spirit surged in her heart, whether it was to prove herself or to take revenge for Keke, she was intent on dooming Lin Chuan.

The agitated wind tousled her hair.

A fierce light flashed in her eyes, and at the same time, she forced herself to quickly calm down, contemplating her next move.

"What are you planning to do now?" Lucas lifted his head and asked.

Yu Qin turned back and sank down on the sofa, suddenly declaring, "I suspect we have a spy among us."

"Hm?"

Lucas's eyes widened in surprise.

"I've had someone look into it; the evidence Lin Chuan presented in court was as if they knew our every move beforehand. It feels very much like we were playing our cards openly against him," Yu Qin said with a cold gaze and a heavy voice.

Lucas pondered, "Can his reach really be that long?"

Yu Qin shook her head, looked up at Lucas, "It's hard to tell, the level of this spy inside our company must be very high."
