A dozen minutes ago, Jiang Cheng said he was going to do a small experiment, so he took her to the basement and tied her to a roulette wheel.
Then she was shocked to discover that, despite its scientifically advanced body representing the pinnacle of human civilization, the device was unable to break free and could not use any abilities; it could only speak normally and could not perform any actions.
In other words, she became a lamb to the slaughter.
After tying her up, Jiang Cheng looked at her with a satisfied smile. He then manipulated the robotic arm to remove her extra suit jacket, trousers, shoes, and even her hair tie.
He began to prepare some things one by one, and the robotic arm moved back and forth. At this time, Gu Qingwan still did not know what her boss was going to do.
The handsome man, now sitting leisurely, had a hint of mockery in his eyes.
He stared at the embarrassed and angry Gu Qingwan and said coldly, "I have given you countless chances, but you have never been honest with me."
"To be honest... what the rhombus-shaped creature said? No, boss, I don't actually know anything about the Heart of the Universe. I was also surprised when it mentioned it. You can believe me."
"No, you still won't tell the truth even now!" Jiang Cheng snorted coldly, grabbed a document from the control panel behind him, and slammed it to the ground. "These past few days, I've sent you on other tasks, but I never expected... Xiao Gu... that you, as a robot, would be monitoring my life in every way. Although it wasn't to harm me, I really dislike this feeling. To deceive you, I've made a tremendous effort, secretly investigating your identity. Over a hundred years ago, the SuWER2 project developed robots powered by sapphire. This document is beyond my comprehension even in China! It was obtained from another country's intelligence department under my title as the chief engineer of the global mecha joint manufacturing! As a research achievement of SuWER2, you encountered an accident before your functions could be tested and were secretly given to China. Since then, you've been active in high-level positions under a false identity until you became my bodyguard, responsible for protecting and monitoring my actions."
Seeing that her identity had been exposed, Gu Qingwan's cheeks turned even redder. The lack of clothing made her feel even more insecure under Jiang Cheng's gaze, as if she was about to be pierced by his sharp eyes.
She silently stared at the documents lying on the ground, stamped with a bright red "Confidential" seal, without saying a word.
"As your boss, who has been one boss after another, I am not your highest-ranking subordinate, unable to carry out all your orders, and I don't even have the right to know your true identity! It's truly disheartening! I predicted your machine's operating procedure, the way your orders are executed, and I anticipated when you would submit your report—tomorrow! But you won't have that chance..." Jiang Cheng rested his chin on his hand, looking at her with a very mocking gaze, a slow smile curving his lips.
Where was the innocent boy he was when they first met? He had completely transformed into an "evil" strategist.
Many things have helped him grow a lot.
"How did you figure out my execution method...? It went through twelve layers of encryption."
“So what if it’s twelve layers of encryption? I can crack it even if it’s twelve more,” Jiang Cheng said, watching the loading indicator go from full to 100%. He then turned to Gu Qingwan and said, “Forgive me, but the matter of the Heart of the Universe is far too important. Whoever possesses it can achieve immortality. If this news gets out, even if it reaches the leadership… it will have unpredictable consequences. I don’t need to recount the story of the Qin King’s pursuit of immortality. To avoid internal strife and bloodshed among humanity, everyone who entered the Death Dimension died. I must be the only one who knows. In this situation, I have two choices: one is to make you lose your memory, and the other is to modify your encrypted program so that you only submit to me. After all, I need to prepare for future interstellar wars, keeping it a secret from all of humanity… to save our civilization.”
“Boss, you’re trying to cover up the highest level of authority over commands, and you know what that means… You’ve turned me into your personal property.”
"Don't make it sound so vile. It's all for the sake of the world. Einstein could guarantee his own purity, but could he guarantee the purity of other war leaders? The formula was used in war the moment it was created. Don't worry, I won't erase your memories. However, from this moment on, you will forever be my subordinate. This is a contract that cannot be broken..."
Jiang Cheng stood up and affectionately patted Gu Qingwan's head.
He was truly reluctant to part with Gu Qingwan, and even more unwilling to let her betray him, so doing this was the only option.
