"Silence!" The judge's voice was authoritative and solemn. "Now, this court will pronounce its verdict!"

Everyone's hearts were in their throats, anxiously awaiting the final result.

"After investigation, the defendant, Su Group, and related individuals are found guilty of unfair competition, commercial espionage, defamation, and other crimes, and should bear corresponding legal responsibility!" The judge spoke each word slowly and deliberately, each word like a heavy hammer striking Su Ming's heart.

"The verdict is as follows: Su's Group shall compensate Qihang Technology for economic losses totaling RMB 1 billion and issue a public apology! The relevant responsible persons shall be sentenced to prison terms ranging from three to seven years!"

Su Ming's face turned deathly pale instantly, and his body swayed precariously, almost collapsing onto the defendant's seat.

A cheer erupted from Qihang Technology's side. Lin Fan's tense nerves finally relaxed, and a long-lost smile appeared on his face. Attorney Chen patted him on the shoulder, everything understood without words.

"I refuse to accept this! I'm going to appeal!" Su Ming roared hysterically, like a wounded wild beast.

“Appealing is your right, but the law is just.” The judge gave him a cold look.

The Su family immediately filed an appeal. However, the evidence provided by Qihang Technology was complete and irrefutable, and the appeal was quickly rejected, upholding the original verdict.

Outside the courtroom, reporters swarmed in and surrounded Lin Fan.

"Mr. Lin, congratulations on winning this case! How are you feeling now?"

"Mr. Lin, what are Qihang Technology's plans for the future?"

"Mr. Lin, what are your thoughts on the Su family's loss in court?"

Lin Fan smiled and calmly replied, "Justice may be delayed, but it will never be absent! Thank you for the fair judgment of the law! Qihang Technology will continue to uphold innovation and provide consumers with better products and services!"

News of Qihang Technology's victory spread like wildfire. Public opinion completely reversed, consumer confidence in Qihang Technology surged, and many expressed their support.

"I knew Qihang Technology was innocent!"

"Support Qihang Technology! Support domestically produced chips!"

"The Su family truly deserves it; they brought this upon themselves!"

Laughter and cheers filled the office of Qihang Technology. Everyone high-fived each other, celebrating this hard-won victory.

Lin Fan gathered his core team together, his gaze resolute: "This victory is just the beginning! Next, we must increase our R&D investment and bring the 'Nova' chip to market as soon as possible!"

Inside the R&D department, the lights were on all day. Engineers worked tirelessly, day and night, overcoming one technical challenge after another.

"The voltage has stabilized!"

"Frequency boost successful!"

"Power consumption has been reduced!"

Good news keeps coming in: the development of the "Nova" chip is progressing by leaps and bounds.

A few months later, Qihang Technology held a grand new product launch event.

On the giant screen, a dazzling "star" slowly rose.

"This is our latest 'Nova' chip!" Lin Fan's voice was full of passion. "It adopts a brand-new architecture design, with performance improved by 300% compared to the previous generation, while power consumption is reduced by 50%!"

Thunderous applause erupted from the audience.

"More importantly, the 'Nova' chip was developed entirely independently by us and has its own intellectual property rights! We will no longer be subject to others!" Lin Fan's words were resounding.

Following the press conference, orders poured in. Major mobile phone manufacturers, computer manufacturers, car manufacturers, and more all extended offers to Qihang Technology.

The "Nova" chip is in short supply.

Qihang Technology's stock price soared, and its market value multiplied several times.

On the other hand, the Su family was shrouded in gloom and despair.

The huge compensation payment nearly broke the Su Group's cash flow.

Banks are pressing for payment, suppliers are cutting off supplies, and partners are terminating contracts one after another.

"Dad, what do we do now?" Su Ming's son, Su Chen, asked anxiously.

Su Ming slumped onto the sofa, his hair gray, looking as if he had aged ten years in an instant.

"I don't know either..." he muttered to himself.

The Su family also began to fall apart.

"It's all because of that idiot Su Ming that we've suffered so much!"

"If I had known it would turn out like this, I shouldn't have worked with him in the first place!"

"Let's find another way out. The Su family is beyond saving!"

Family members blamed each other and argued incessantly.

Qihang Technology seized the opportunity to expand its market share and established strategic partnerships with more well-known domestic and foreign companies.

"Mr. Lin, this is the cooperation agreement we signed with Siemens AG of Germany." Zhao Qing handed a document to Lin Fan.

"Mr. Lin, this is the technology licensing agreement we reached with Qualcomm." Attorney Chen also brought good news.

Qihang Technology's international influence is growing day by day.

Lin Fan was not satisfied with his current achievements.

"We cannot stop; we must keep innovating!" he told his team. "We need to develop a series of products based on the 'Morning Star' chip to form a complete industrial chain!"

Under his leadership, Qihang Technology has successively launched smartwatches, smart glasses, smart home systems, and more.

Every product has been enthusiastically received by the market.

Qihang Technology has become a vast technology empire.

Industry experts and scholars have expressed their admiration for Qihang Technology's success.

"The rise of Qihang Technology is a miracle of China's technology industry!"

"Lin Fan is an outstanding entrepreneur. He led Qihang Technology to break the monopoly of foreign giants and made a huge contribution to the development of China's chip industry!"

Qihang Technology's success in the international market is at its zenith. But this brilliance has stung the eyes of some.

Established tech giants are getting restless.

They looked at Qihang Technology, this rising star, with mixed feelings. Jealousy, but even more so, fear.

"We can't let this kid continue like this."

"We need to teach him a lesson."

"We need to join forces and cause him some trouble."

Undercurrents are brewing.

A crackdown on Qihang Technology has quietly begun.

The first challenge came from technical standards.

"Qihang Technology's chips do not meet international standards!"

"Their products pose a safety hazard!"

"We cannot allow such a product to enter the market!"

Various doubts and criticisms have been raised.

Following closely behind, patent lawsuits ensued.

"Qihang Technology has infringed on our company's patent!"

"They stole our core technology!"

"We demand that Qihang Technology immediately cease its infringing activities and compensate us for our losses!"

Lawyer's letters arrived at Qihang Technology like snowflakes.

Qihang Technology's legal department is extremely busy.

"These patents are all fabricated by them!"

"Their goal is to suppress us!"

"We must actively respond to the lawsuit and safeguard the company's rights!"

The legal team acted swiftly, collecting evidence and preparing materials.

A series of tough battles are about to begin.

The atmosphere in Lin Fan's office was heavy.

"These old bastards are like ghosts that won't leave you alone!" Lin Fan slammed his fist on the table, his eyes burning with rage.

"They're trying to kill us!" Ye Yuyan frowned, looking worried.

"Brother, we can't just sit here and wait to die!" Lin Yue was also anxious. She knew that Qihang Technology was her brother's life's work.

"What's there to be afraid of? We'll meet force with force and water with water!" Lin Fan took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

"Yu Yan, you're in charge of public relations and stabilizing public opinion. We can't let these rumors damage our reputation."

"Lin Yue, you're in charge of contacting our partners and securing their support."
