Chapter 1623 The Hunter's Tracking Trap

It must be said that different upbringing and experiences can greatly change a person.

A few years ago, Li Juan would never have dared to lie through her teeth, let alone casually throw out her watch, worth tens of thousands of dollars, and then quote a price of "six hundred dollars."

This was a gift from Fu Yiruo's "second sister" last year. What if Wu Zhengyan bid 600 yuan on the spot and took the watch away? Who would she turn to for a pill to undo her mistake?

But now Li Juan dares to do it. Over the years, she has been "instructed" by shrewd people like Wen Leyu, Fu Yiruo, Li Ying, and her eldest sister Li Yue, and has indeed become more cunning and has a certain understanding of human nature.

Therefore, Li Juan was certain that throwing the watch out would throw Wu Zhengyan off balance.

Sure enough, when Wu Zhengyan heard Li Juan quote six hundred yuan, he immediately said, "Fake? Li Juan, is there any point in you saying that? This watch is a limited edition Cartier. Ordinary people don't even recognize this watch. Who would buy a counterfeit?"

And just because your nephew and niece had a conflict with their classmates, you went and brought in a videotape of a lion and tiger fighting from overseas to show that classmate. Would people like you wear counterfeit goods?

Li Juan raised an eyebrow and said calmly, "Let's not talk about whether this watch is real or not. Who told you about the lion and tiger? It was Xu Lingmiao who told you, right? You're going to give this confidential data to her, isn't that what you're copying?"

"It's not Xu Lingmiao, don't drag others into this."

"Who told you that? There must be a source of information, right? Do you, Wu Zhengyan, have eyes and ears everywhere and saw it yourself?"

"That's not important."

"No, this is very important. You just said that you are not familiar with Xu Lingmiao at all. Apart from occasional work-related encounters, you have no communication with her in private. But my nephew and niece tell you about every little thing they have with their classmates. Just how bad is your personal relationship?"

“.”

Wu Zhengyan was dumbfounded. Li Juan's sudden barrage of questions hit the spot he had been unwilling to admit, and cornered him.

A liar can argue with a crowd of scholars without fear before being exposed, but once a small flaw is exposed, he will become speechless and unable to defend himself.

Master Ni suddenly stood up and said sternly, "Wu Zhengyan, are you still not going to confess? Everyone has been so lenient with you, don't be ungrateful, don't be so stubborn."

"I'm ungrateful? I'm stubbornly unrepentant? Hahahaha~"

Wu Zhengyan suddenly burst into laughter, and after laughing, he said contemptuously, "If you want to condemn someone, you can always find a pretext. You privileged people are always so high and mighty, pointing fingers at us poor kids."

But no matter how eloquently you describe it, it's all just your own speculation. If you dare to accuse me without any evidence, what will Microsoft think? Have you considered the international repercussions?

“.”

Master Ni was stunned, and so was Li Juan.

They really couldn't understand how Wu Zhengyan, who seemed so intelligent when doing research, could be so dim-witted when considering these issues.

Who do you think you are? What do you mean by "what Microsoft thinks"? What about "international influence"?

An older colleague sighed, "Xiao Wu, how much hypnosis have you been given? Don't even mention a lowly technician like you. Even if we interrogated Xu Lingmiao, we wouldn't cause any international impact."

“.”

Wu Zhengyan was taken aback, then suddenly laughed: "You simply don't understand the civilization and laws of the Lighthouse. Xu Lingmiao has a Lighthouse passport; you have no right to ask her any questions. Even if I don't want to answer your questions right now, you have no right to interrogate me."

The older colleague said calmly, "We may not understand the rules of Lighthouse, but we understand the mind of capitalists. Capitalists want to make money. In Microsoft's eyes, do you think we are more worthy of being curried over, or you and that Xu Lingmiao are more worthy of being cherished?"

“.”

Wu Zhengyan was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously felt a little flustered.

Microsoft sent so many people from across the ocean to negotiate with the mobile company, which clearly indicates their desire to cooperate with the company. In contrast, Xu Lingmiao and I are just ordinary employees within both companies. It seems obvious which side is more important.

However, Wu Zhengyan firmly shook his head in the end: "No, Lao He, you don't understand Western civilization and human rights. In the West, even the most ordinary person can criticize the president, so Microsoft will not infringe on the rights of any ordinary person for the sake of profit."

"Sigh, you're hopeless."

Old He looked at Wu Zhengyan with pity, then turned to Master Ni and said, "Engineer Ni, how about we just let it go?"

Ni Dashen gritted his teeth, suppressed the pain in his heart, and nodded.

"Fine, you can report it!"

"Alright, I'll report this. Meeting adjourned! It's snowing outside today, and the company has arranged shuttle buses to take everyone home. However, until this matter is resolved, please don't spread this news."

"Okay, Team Leader He."

Everyone stood up, looking tired and ready to leave. Wu Zhengyan also stood up and walked out as if nothing had happened.

Old He asked in surprise, "Wu Zhengyan, do you want to leave too?"

Wu Zhengyan asked curiously, "What? Do you want the police to arrest me? Or do you want to imprison me privately?"

"Heh~"

Old He smiled and said, "Xiao Wu, our unit has a discipline inspection department. Since you can't reach an agreement with our old colleagues, why don't you go and talk to them?"

"You...you're breaking the law."

"No, we are compliant."

“.”

As Lao He finished speaking, several security guards from the mobile company entered and coldly surrounded Wu Zhengyan.

"What are you doing? What are you doing? I haven't committed a crime!"

“.”

Wu Zhengyan's vehement protest drew the attention of Li Juan and the others.

However, none of his former colleagues felt he was wronged, because the core data that Wu Zhengyan copied without authorization represented the culmination of everyone's hard work over the years. If he touched it, it would harm everyone's interests, and no one would show leniency.

...

When Li Juan left the office after the meeting, she saw Li Ye's car parked outside, with a thin layer of snow on the roof, indicating that he had been waiting for some time.

Li Juan quickly got into the car, saying somewhat uneasily, "Brother, I have a car and a driver, why did you still come to pick me up? It'll only make my wife scold me again."

Will your sister-in-law scold you for this?

Li Ye glanced at Li Juan, then said earnestly, "Everyone's celebrating your birthday at home today. You know what's going on without me saying anything. I came to pick you up to test your feelings beforehand. If you really want to stay an old maid, I can help you out later."

Li Juan blushed slightly: "I...I didn't want to be an old maid."

Li Ye chuckled: "So how did you meet your current boyfriend?"

“.”

Li Juan lowered her head and remained silent for a long time before replying in a barely audible voice, "We met on a BBS technology forum. We have a lot in common regarding communication technology."

Li Ye slammed on the brakes and almost pulled off a snow drift.

Despite all the precautions, this girl still fell in love online!

Originally, Li Ye was worried that Li Juan would deny it to the death, making everyone anxious, so he came over in advance to persuade Li Juan "not to be shy" and to be open and honest about dating!

Now, things have turned out differently; Li Juan has stepped on one of the most dangerous landmines in a relationship.

Li Ye pursed his lips tightly, forced a smile, and asked, "And then? Which organization does he work for? Where is his organization located?"

Li Juan smiled slightly and said with some pride, "His work involves state secrets, so I'm not sure about his workplace address."

It's over, it's over, it's really all over.

"And then what? Have you met?"

"Yes, we've met! Just a few months ago, we actually bumped into each other in real life."

【My dear sister, there aren't that many "just right" moments; this is a hunter's tracking trap!】

Li Ye had already sketched out a clear image of a swindler in his mind, as well as eighteen tragic ways the swindler could die.
