Chapter 220: Danger

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

As soon as Shi Xiao went to Africa, many people started eyeing the Shi family covetously. They saw that Yuan Shu was brainless and gullible at that time, so they wanted to use her to take the opportunity to harm the Shi family.

Tan Jing was no exception.

At the banquet at the Shi family’s ancestral home, Tan Jing looked for Yuan Shu and offered her an olive branch. He hoped that she could use the Shi family’s name to invest in his own software company. However, he was rejected.

However, after this incident, Yuan Shu borrowed one million yuan from Shi Lu. Liu Lan’s husband, Xiao Sheng, used Shenglan Venture Investment Company to invest in Tan Jing’s software company.

However, this matter was done very discreetly. Other than the people from the Shi family, no one else found out about this. Even Tan Jing himself didn’t know who the investor of this sum of money was.

This matter had been going on for a few months. Yuan Shu had handed this matter over to Shi Bin to handle, so she didn’t pay attention to the subsequent development of this software company.

If she knew that this software company would focus on developing an attack program after Li Ci withdrew from Yuan An and caused a bug in Yuan An’s system, she would probably regret not withdrawing the money in time.

But that was all in the future.

Tan Jing had something on Yuan An, so of course, he would spare no effort to attack this loophole. At this moment, the most important secret code in Yuan An’s database had already been lost and was in Tan Jing’s hands.

Although Yuan An’s employees fixed the loophole in time and didn’t completely lose all the program code regarding this online system, as long as they had this most important piece of code, it was only a matter of time before they replicated a similar system.

This was also what Shi Xiao was most worried about now.

If Yuan An didn’t fix the loophole in the online system before Tan Jing’s software company replicated this system and allowed the online system to go online again, Yuan An might have to face the risk of disappearing.

The biggest problem was that there was no time.

Thus, the most effective solution that Shi Xiao could think of was to get rid of Tan Jing.

As for the one million yuan that Yuan Shu had invested, although he didn’t want her to fail on her first investment, he had to consider the overall situation and make up for it later.

Li Ci, who had been watching from afar, had a grasp of the current situation as well. He knew Shi Xiao too well, so he wasn’t surprised by Shi Xiao’s decision. The only surprising thing was that Shi Xiao handled this matter faster than he had imagined.

It was as if after Shi Xiao went to Africa, he had become even more decisive. However, his previous ruthlessness seemed to have decreased.

The sky was getting darker and darker, while the surroundings were getting quieter and quieter.

The lights in the room weren’t switched on, and only the cold moonlight shone into the room through the floor-to-ceiling window. Li Ci was swirling the glass of red wine in his hand in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. His gaze was cold as he stared at the lake outside the window.

His phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Chen Chen.

Chen Chen was Chen Lu’s brother. Chen Lu was the one who pretended to be friends with Shi Yi but kept framing Shi Yi and causing trouble for her behind her back. Two days ago, the two of them quarreled at the cocktail party.

Chen Lu was the illegitimate daughter of the family and wasn’t favored, so she didn’t have a deep relationship with Chen Chen, her brother. Chen Chen used Chen Lu to befriend Shi Yi for his own benefit.

At the same time, Chen Chen was also one of Li Ci’s business partners. In fact, rather than a business partner, he was more like Li Ci’s agent in the business circle. His position was similar to Gao Shan’s, but his status was much higher than Gao Shan’s.

He had many business partners in the business world, and they were involved in almost all fields. However, these people only touched the surface of these fields and couldn’t be considered outstanding in the field at all. This was something that Li Ci had been worried about.

What he lacked was a powerful assistant who could compete against those big bosses in the business world, so after Shi Xiao returned this time, he could fight him head-on..
