Even an honest man like Lin Hai was so agitated, it was certain that there was a serious problem, but Qin Fang had not expected it to be this severe.

"What's the damage?"

Qin Fang's eyebrows were furrowed, but he was still relatively calm.

"A lot of experimental equipment has been damaged, and some research data has been stolen... However, I've always kept the core data in a safe place, no one else knows about it!"

Lin Hai said nervously. Nevertheless, his words reassured Qin Fang quite a bit.

He understood what Lin Hai meant. His concern was about the experimental equipment because they were the property of the research institute. Any damage would need to be compensated for by Qin Fang.

"Then there's no problem! Destroy all those data..."

Qin Fang paused for a moment, then immediately instructed Lin Hai.

"Mm... Understood!"

On the other end of the phone, Lin Hai paused for a moment before nodding in agreement.

He could also understand Qin Fang's intention. The intruder targeted the lab specifically for that research data, and now that the core data was still in his hands, it was like a ticking time bomb. So, it made sense to just destroy it, and thus avoid any trouble.

Qin Fang took this call in front of Miss Aoi without hiding, face-to-face, though she could at most only hear Qin Fang's side of the conversation.

But there was something peculiar about this incident.

The laboratory belonged to Qin Fang, a fact known by not many people, just a handful, such as... Chen Jiangnan.

Did Chen Jiangnan betray me?

Qin Fang felt that it was possible, but not certain.

The intruder's intent was very clear, which was to steal that piece of technical data worth at least 40 million dollars, indeed incentive enough for commercial spies to act.

The suspects could thus be narrowed down to manufacturers from Japan or Korea.

And today, Li Enhui had specifically discussed purchasing details with me, offering a high price. The likelihood of her company being involved in the theft was there but not very high.

On the contrary, the possibility on the Japanese side was quite high; their bid had always been very low, always wanting to buy but never willing to raise the price...

At that point, Qin Fang immediately threw a "Mind Reading Technique" at Aoi and cursed inwardly, "Damn it!"

"Miss Aoi, I don't want to waste anyone's time! Let's do this, I'll give you a price now. If your company agrees, the technical data are yours..."

Qin Fang was indeed furious, but even more than that, he was cunning. If these little devils couldn't be kind, they shouldn't blame me for being unrighteous!

"Please speak, Mr. Qin!"

Aoi's expression turned stern, without a doubt, Qin Fang's sudden change was due to that phone call he just received.

As to what had happened, Aoi was well aware. It was unfortunate that things didn't go smoothly on their end, but if a breakthrough could be made with Qin Fang, that was also good news.

"I can agree to your offer of 38 million dollars plus that property. But... I want her too!"

However, Qin Fang's response made Aoi pause for a moment, because, besides the money, he unexpectedly pointed at Matsushima Cainaizi, who he hadn't even touched before...

"Mr. Qin, she was already prepared for you..."

But soon Aoi was smiling, this unexpected outcome actually seemed to advantage her.

"No, I don't mean that! Or rather, you should understand what I mean..."

Having said that, Qin Fang immediately stood up, ready to walk out.

After a few steps, he turned back and said, "Miss Aoi, you have all night to consider this. Tomorrow... if I don't hear from you by nine in the morning, I will sign a deal with the Seven Stars Group!"

This time, Qin Fang truly left, walking away with swagger.

But Aoi felt that this sudden incident had disturbed Qin Fang, or rather, caused him concern. This was why he acted so swiftly rather than continuing to hold out...(To be continued.
