Chapter 240 I'm Sorry to Disappoint You

Jiang Yao's face darkened and he shouted angrily, "Who would do such a thing—"

Halfway through her words, she suddenly thought of something and a light bulb went off in her mind.

It turns out...something was done in this regard.

Seeing the sudden enlightenment on her face, a sharp light flashed in Zhou Yifei's eyes.

…

Three days passed in a flash.

On the fourth day, Jiang Yao and his team of three arrived at the research institute, but soon they were blocked by Chu Yue again.

"Three days have passed, and you haven't made any movement at all. Are you trying to get away with it?"

Her eyes were defiant, and she said proudly, "Unfortunately, I will never give you such an opportunity. Now, you can get out of the institute."

Most people in the courtyard gathered to watch the farce.

However, facing Chu Yue's pressure, Jiang Yao and others said calmly, "It's a pity to disappoint Miss Chu! The problem has been successfully resolved."

"Just you guys? How is that possible!" Chu Yue thought she was just bragging to save face.

But the next second, Sui Yunli also slowly walked over, "What Miss Jiang said is true. Not only did they recover the losses, they also completed it a day ahead of schedule and submitted the results to me."

He still had the results of the experiment in his hand, and he opened it in front of Chu Yue's astonished gaze.

Everyone in the audience came over to take a look, and all looked shocked.

"Oh my god, I saw that right! They actually turned the tide."

"This problem was solved using the latest technology? Amazing."

"She's truly a genius. Nothing can stop her."

Chu Yue's face turned pale as he looked at the scene in disbelief, clenching his fists in anger.

She never dreamed that at this point, Jiang Yao could actually save the situation.

But she was unwilling to let the other person go just like that.

After all, this was an opportunity she had finally gotten.

"Even if she manages to turn the tide, the previous mistakes were indeed caused by Lian Yingying from her team. We absolutely do not tolerate people who drag us down in our lab. At the very least, she must be expelled and publicly criticized as a warning to others!"

Her attitude was overbearing and domineering.

"Yeah?"

Jiang Yao sneered and suddenly changed the subject, "But wasn't Yingying's mistake caused by Miss Chu's deliberate frame-up?"

After he finished speaking, the whole audience fell silent.

Chu Yue's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately retaliated, "What does this have to do with me? Stop slandering me. I never even entered your lab, so how could I have framed her?"

"Yes, Miss Chu hadn't been to the institute for more than half a month before this."

"Every laboratory has a fingerprint lock. No one except researchers can enter."

Listening to everyone's discussion, Chu Yue's face once again raised a confident smile, "You heard it too! You said I framed her, how did I frame her? Tell me!"

Jiang Yao curled his lips and said word by word, "It doesn't matter if you don't enter the lab. Miss Chu can just tamper with the experimental program through a cyberattack and cause the experiment to go awry, making everyone's hard work go to waste!"

After he finished speaking, the whole audience was stunned.

Chu Yue's face flushed with anxiety, and she immediately retorted: "How can I perform a cyber attack?"

"You can't, but you can bribe a hacker." Jiang Yao had no intention of letting her off the hook this time. "I've checked. The device Yingying used shows signs of tampering. With a careful investigation, we should be able to find records of you bribing a hacker pretty quickly. Are you sure you want to keep making excuses?"

"I didn't..." Chu Yue looked flustered, and subconsciously looked at Zhou Yifei beside her for help. "Yifei, I have been with you all this time. Tell everyone quickly that I have never done such a thing."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yifei walked forward slowly with his arms folded.

Under Chu Yue's hopeful gaze, he spoke calmly to Jiang Yao, word for word, "You're right, she did it. I heard her call and bribe the hacker with my own ears, and I even have records of the calls and transfers. She never intended to let you and your team go from the beginning."

After he finished speaking, the whole audience fell into silence.

Chu Yue was even more shocked, "Zhou Yifei, you are crazy!"

She never dreamed that the man who had always licked her would betray her one day.

"You're just too stupid. You resorted to such low-brow tactics and harmed the interests of the entire research team. You should just admit your mistake."

Zhou Yifei didn't expect that Jiang Yao would be able to find the flaw with his intelligence with just a slight reminder from him.

He has always admired smart people, so it's no wonder that he betrayed Chu Yue.

"well!"

At this moment, the anger of being betrayed and exposed completely devoured Chu Yue's reason.

She simply admitted, "So what if it's me! Jiang Yao, I'm telling you the truth, I just can't stand you and I want you to get out! This is the research institute founded by my grandfather, it's our Chu family's territory, I can do whatever I want!"

The onlookers were stunned, but most of the people present had received favors from Mr. Chu.

Due to my position, it is difficult for me to stand up and say anything.

"Today, you must get out of the institute, otherwise I will make you pay!" Chu Yue said in a sinister tone.

Jiang Yao's eyes turned slightly cold, but before she could speak, a more authoritative voice rang out, "Who do you want to get out?"

Chu Yue was shocked.

I suddenly looked up and saw Old Master Chu walking out from behind the crowd with a serious look on his face.

"Grandpa..." Chu Yue trembled with fear, "Why are you here?"

"If I hadn't come here, I wouldn't have known that you would actually do such a cruel thing. For personal grudges, you would destroy the experiment and affect the entire research group.

Even after being exposed, you still refuse to repent and continue to show off your power by using my name. How could I have raised a granddaughter like you?

Mr. Chu's eyes were full of disappointment.

Facing such a gaze, Chu Yue felt cold all over, as if falling into an icy cave.

She wanted to say something to save the situation: "Grandpa..."

"That's enough." Old Master Chu interrupted in a deep voice, "I will criticize you for your actions. You must compensate for the losses and issue a public statement apologizing to everyone you implicated!"

"Grandpa!" Chu Yue's eyes widened in disbelief, "You can't do this to me—"

If she makes a public apology, the reputation she has built up will be ruined.

From now on, people who know her will no longer regard her as the emperor's pride, and she will be ridiculed wherever she goes.

"There is no room for negotiation on this matter. Also, from this moment on, you are officially kicked out of the institute's project." Old Master Chu made the final judgment.

Only in this way can the public's resentment be calmed.

Chu Yue staggered back two steps, knowing that there was no room for recovery. Her face turned pale and she ran away in shame and embarrassment.
