Xiao Han smiled disdainfully: "I have a clear conscience, how can I feel sorry for her? I do this for our future and hers!"
Lu Anning frowned, suspecting that Xiao Han was drunk.
"Why don't you listen to what you're saying! You know very well that we are in competition with the Gong family, but now... aren't you going to explain?"
"There's nothing much to explain. It's just as you thought. Since I dared to do it, I'm not afraid of being discovered. Anyway, I've got the stuff. I forgot to tell you that I'm planning to leave Professor An's experimental base."
"What did you say?"
"If I stay there, I'll always be just a handyman. But it's different here with Master Gong. I can have the best resources, and everyone in the lab has to listen to me. Anyone would know what to choose!"
"Is this what you did?"
Xiao Han suddenly laughed: "If not for this, is it like Professor An, for justice? Of course, she has everything she needs, so she doesn't care about these things. But I'm different! You don't understand how difficult it is for an ordinary person to get to where he is today. Everything I do is for my own better development in the future. If I stay with Professor An, I will live in Gu Yu's shadow all my life. Even Liu Lin can only see Gu Yu now. I have to let her know that I am no worse than Gu Yu."
"Liu Lin doesn't care about these things at all."
"But I care! I'm a man. Every day in the lab, all I hear is praise for Gu Yu. They even talk behind my back, saying that Liu Lin must be possessed to choose me and break up with your second brother. I've heard too much of that. I'm fed up."
"Then you shouldn't betray everyone."
"Betrayal? People die for money, birds die for food. This shows that I am valuable enough! If they want to keep me, they can offer a higher price. If you want to blame someone, blame them for underestimating me. It doesn't matter if you see me today. To tell you the truth, I am now Young Master Gong's man, and all your efforts will be wasted!"
Xiao Han smiled arrogantly and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, being extremely arrogant.
Lu An Ning looked at the unfamiliar Xiao Han and was too lazy to waste any more words.
When she turned around, Gong Ming was looking at her with his lips curled.
"Don't be so anxious! Victory and defeat are common in the military. Be careful with the baby in your belly. Even though it's not mine, I still feel bad for it."
Lu An Ning glared at Gong Ming fiercely, pulled Ding Wan away quickly, and heard Gong Ming's teasing voice behind them.
"An Ning, slow down and be safe. If you miss me, call me anytime."
Lu Anning gritted his teeth and left with Ding Wan without looking back.
After coming out of the club, Lu An Ning immediately called An Li's phone. It rang for a long time but no one answered. She then contacted Liu Lin, but the result was the same.
"Why is there no one answering?"
"Will they all be in the lab?"
"No. This is a serious matter. I have to tell my mother the news immediately. I don't know how many confidential documents Xiao Han knows."
The two didn't dare waste time and quickly asked the driver to take them to the lab. When they arrived at the experimental base, it was completely silent, as if something serious had happened. All the lab staff were in the conference room.
The door of the conference room was closed, and Lu Anning and Ding Wan were stopped outside.
"What happened?"
"The laboratory data formula has been leaked, and all the computers have been infected with a virus and paralyzed. Professor An is now calling a meeting to solve this problem."
Lu Anning thought of Xiao Han's smug look in the box and guessed something.
"I know what's going on. Let me in."
The assistant couldn't stop Lu An Ning. The laboratory door was pushed open and everyone looked at Lu An Ning.
An Li's face was solemn, but the moment he saw Lu An Ning, he quickly revealed a gentle smile.
"An Ning, why are you here? I have something to take care of right now. You and Wan Wan should go to the office and wait for me first!"
"Mom, I came to you for this matter. You don't need to check, it was Xiao Han who did it."
Liu Lin didn't believe it and was the first to stand up.
"An Ning, are you kidding me? Xiao Han didn't even come today because he took his leave. How could he be related to the lab incident? I took the wrong USB drive with the virus, causing great losses to the lab. Professor An, I have no objection to any punishment you choose."
"I saw Xiao Han and Gong Ming having fun in a private club with my own eyes. He has already admitted what he did in front of me. Do you still want to defend him? Besides me, Ding Wan was also there. Mom, I rushed over to tell you this news just to remind you to first confirm what Xiao Han knows so as to minimize the losses as much as possible. He is now a member of the Gong family."
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire conference room exploded.
Everyone involved in the experiment knew how important this project was to them. Those who stayed in the lab were all trusted by Professor An, and no one was treated differently. Xiao Han's betrayal meant that all their lab data would be in Gong's hands, didn't it?
"It's over! All our previous efforts have been wasted."
Liu Lin slumped in the chair, not coming back to her senses for a long time, muttering to herself.
"Impossible! Xiao Han...how could he do this? Why would he do this?"
It was An Li who cleared his throat, and everyone quieted down.
"Now that the incident has happened, we need to figure out how to resolve it. I'll have a computer expert repair the lab's computer system first, and we'll consider other matters later. Everyone, go back and rest up for the next two days and get yourselves back in shape. Meeting adjourned!"
Since An Li said so, everyone else had no choice but to get up and leave, leaving Liu Lin sitting in her seat motionless.
Only after everyone left did Liu Lin slowly come back to her senses.
She suddenly grabbed Lu Anning's hand and said, "Where did you see Xiao Han? Tell me! I must go find him and ask him for the truth."
Lu Anning frowned: "He should have left. You can try to call him and ask. But, Liu Lin, you have to be mentally prepared."
Liu Lin's heart sank, knowing that Lu An Ning was not lying, but she still wanted to ask him in person.
She stood up and looked at An Li: "Professor An, Xiao Han is mine, I will definitely give you an explanation."
Lu Anning originally wanted to contact An Li in time to minimize the losses, but he was still a step too late.
"mom……"
"Let's talk in my office."
An Li smiled and took Lu An Ning and Ding Wan back to her office. She asked them if they wanted dessert. She didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.
Lu Anning noticed something was wrong: "Mom, such a big thing happened in the lab, why aren't you worried at all? Xiao Han is with the Gong family, and they're also researching anti-cancer drugs. If they get the formula first, won't all your efforts be wasted?"
An Li smiled faintly: "Young man, be patient and don't be impatient. My formula, not everyone can steal it!"
