114 Annihilation
“What did you say? What price did you say just now?” Li Jinteng thought he had heard wrongly.
“Freedom! My price is your freedom.” Li Chengqian repeated his words clearly.
Then, before Li Jinteng and Zhang Yunjian could react, he gently tapped on the computer.
Instantly, the image on the big screen in the data center changed.
It became the surveillance footage of the lobby of the software support department.
In the surveillance footage, Li Jinteng and Li Lin could be clearly seen standing at the table under the big screen.
On the big screen, it was still showing the scene of them hacking the Divine Dragon Optimization App. The progress of hacking had even reached 90%.
Li Jinteng’s voice came from the surrounding speakers.
“Dr. Li, how long will it take to successfully hack it?”
Right on the heels of that, Li Lin’s voice also came. “President Li, we’ve increased the rental of computing power from the supercomputer center. The current computing power is ten times that of last night.”
“Based on the current progress, we will be able to hack the Divine Dragon Optimization App in 10 minutes.”
In the surveillance footage, Li Jinteng had a smile on his face. At that time, he had already regarded the Divine Dragon Optimization App as his.
When Li Jinteng saw the surveillance footage on the big screen, his face turned pale.
When he heard the sounds coming from the surrounding speakers, cold sweat instantly drenched his clothes. It was as if his strength had been sucked out of him. If not for someone supporting him from behind, he would have collapsed to the ground.
He was so proud of himself in the surveillance footage! He was now as regretful as he was proud.
With the surveillance footage and his voice, Li Jinteng had no way to deny anymore, in the face of this concrete evidence.
Zhang Yunjian’s eyes were filled with fear. She looked at Li Chengqian as if she had seen a lunatic.
Li Jinteng had already conceded defeat and asked Li Chengqian to name a price.
The meaning was obvious. He could ask for as much money as he wanted, as long as he didn’t send them to jail.
However, Li Chengqian was like a mad dog. He refused to let go and insisted on releasing the video of Li Jinteng instructing Dr. Li Lin to commit a crime so that there was no room left for negotiation.
Isn’t money the reason for everyone’s hard work? Working hard, developing new technologies, setting up companies… weren’t all these for money?
Li Jinteng was already willing to compensate!
Li Chengqian was still latching on. If he wasn’t crazy, what was he?
When the senior management of Tencent Corporation saw the video on the big screen, their eyes were filled with fear as they looked at Li Chengqian.
“We can’t provoke this person. He doesn’t care about money. As long as we offend him, he would have no qualms about doing anything.” This thought appeared in everyone’s head.
“This brat is really ruthless! He bids his time, and when he strikes, he goes all the way out. Every move is precise and deadly, his opponent doesn’t even have a chance to react or fight back. I had thought that he was only technically accomplished, but it turns out that his strategies are even more powerful than his techniques.” Wang Xinbo looked at Li Chengqian solemnly.
Li Chengqian turned to look at Wang Xinbo.
“Director Wang, it has been proven that Li Jinteng instigated Li Lin to hack the Divine Dragon Optimization App. He’s the mastermind in this matter.”
“He has to receive the punishment he deserves.” Never give your enemy a chance to get back at you. Li Chengqian was clear about this principle.
“Cuff Li Jinteng and Li Lin and bring them back for investigation!” Wang Xinbo waved his hand and asked the relevant personnel to command the police to take action.
Li Jinteng and Li Lin’s faces were ashen. They were fearful as they were handcuffed.
“Li Chengqian, you’re simply a lunatic! An unreasonable lunatic.” Li Jinteng looked at Li Chengqian, his heart filled with endless regret.
If he hadn’t been so arrogant when he went to Tianyi City back then, if he had taken the initiative to admit his mistake, if he had honestly compensated…
None of this would have happened today.
Unfortunately, no one can turn back the clock.
“Li Chengqian, you’re a lunatic! I’m f*cking crazy to provoke a lunatic like you.” Li Jinteng smiled bitterly.
“Zhang Yunjian, you’ll be in charge of the company’s matters from now on. You’ll also be in charge of my case this time.” Li Jinteng instructed as he was being taken away.
Although Zhang Yunjian was a woman, her ability was unquestionable! She did everything flawlessly.
Zhang Yunjian definitely wouldn’t have lost if the opponent this time wasn’t someone as formidable as Li Chengqian.
He would only be assured to leave things in Zhang Yunjian’s charge.
“Alright, President Li. You… don’t worry. I’ll definitely guard the company well for you.” Zhang Yunjian originally wanted to say, ‘Don’t worry, I’ll definitely think of a way to get you out.’ However, she held back when she saw that Li Chengqian was around.
She was completely terrified now. She was afraid that if Li Chengqian heard her words, he would think of a way to sabotage her plans. He would keep watch on Li Jinteng, making it impossible for Li Jinteng to be rescued.
“Zhang Yunjian, at this point, you know how to deal with the Divine Dragon Optimization App! We have to do what we have to do.” Li Jinteng didn’t say it explicitly, but Zhang Yunjian had worked with him for nearly 10 years and naturally understood what he meant.
Since Li Chengqian was determined to destroy him, they have reached the point of no return.
Then the previous plan had to be abandoned!
Then everything would be done according to legal procedures and standards.
The compensation for the Divine Dragon Optimization App couldn’t be calculated in the same way as before.
The courts would have to adjudicate the compensation, and their computation methods wouldn’t yield such a large amount.
“President Li, don’t be in a hurry to plan your funeral. It’s not time yet.” Li Chengqian had been quietly listening to Li Jinteng’s instructions to Zhang Yunjian. From time to time, Li Jinteng would look at him. Although there was fear and regret in his eyes, there was even more intense hatred.
Li Jinteng’s heart skipped a beat, and Zhang Yunjian trembled in fear.
“When I instructed Zhang Yunjian to destroy the evidence, the location was in my office. There were no surveillance cameras in my office.” Thinking of this, Li Jinteng finally calmed down a little.
“President Li, I suggest you appoint someone else to settle your matters because Lawyer Zhang Yunjian might have to follow you in.” After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he tapped his fingers on the computer again.
Immediately, the scene on the big screen changed again.
This time, the scene changed to Li Jinteng’s office. Looking at the surveillance footage, the camera was a wide-angle camera that included Li Jinteng’s desk and sofa.
On the sofa, Li Jinteng and Zhang Yunjian sat opposite each other.
Zhang Yunjian’s arrogant voice came.
“President Li, just in case, I suggest that we destroy all the surveillance hard disks and all the computers and servers that might have accessed the Divine Dragon Optimization App…”
“That’s impossible! There are no surveillance cameras in my office!” Li Jinteng couldn’t believe it and couldn’t accept all of this.
Zhang Yunjian saw the scene and heard the voice. Her face turned white.
She was a lawyer, so she naturally knew that this time… she was finished!
The crime was the destruction of evidence!
“This is fake. This is an image created by Li Chengqian. Yes, Li Chengqian’s computer skills are so good. This is definitely an image created by him. This is fake! Because there are no surveillance cameras in my office.”
“Li Chengqian, you’re too vicious.” Li Jinteng completely lost control of his emotions.
If Zhang Yunjian was in charge of Tencent Corporation, he was confident that he would be released soon.
If it was someone else, that might not be the case!
