Chapter 341: Taking Advantage of the Situation
Outside the door, two figures, one in front and one behind, walked in in unison.
It was clearly Jiang Yao and Lan Qiuru.
He staggered back two steps, his eyes full of disbelief: "W-why are you here!"
"You're the stupid one!"
Jiang Yao crossed his arms and said with a half-smile, "I gave you some half-true, half-false data, and you actually believed it. You couldn't wait to hold a press conference and even broadcast the explosion live. I didn't expect anyone would do such a stupid thing."
Ryan's pupils shrank suddenly, and at this moment he suddenly realized, "You deliberately let him steal a fake core secret for me, are you kidding me?"
"To be precise, it's not just me." Jiang Yao smiled brightly.
Ryan was stunned.
"Do you really think the Chinese are so easy to bribe?" At this moment, Han Yuan's voice sounded from behind.
Ryan looked back in surprise.
His face was no longer filled with fear, but instead filled with sarcasm. "You don't think you can buy me off by giving me a blank check and using honey traps? Do you really think I'm such an unprincipled person?"
It is true that when Jenny tempted him with a bunch of benefits, he was shaken in his heart.
However, he has not forgotten his identity, principles and pride.
Over the years, his wife has supported him and taken care of his children and family.
Lan Qiuru is even more of his mentor. It was she who gave him the opportunity to join the team, which enabled him to get to where he is today.
"I have a wife, children, a family, and a mentor. I am proud of my Chinese identity. How could I become a traitor?"
So when he went to the laboratory the next day, he privately confessed the other party's conspiracy to Lan Qiuru and Jiang Yao.
Finally, the three of them decided to play along and gave Ryan a half-true and half-false information, letting him suffer the consequences.
"Mr. Ryan, I rejected your invitation before, but I didn't expect you to be so unscrupulous."
Lan Qiuru shook her head in disappointment and disgust.
"People like you are destined to never defeat us!"
At this moment, Ryan's face turned purple, and the humiliation and embarrassment of being teased flooded into his heart.
"Alright, you're so cruel! Just wait for me!"
He angrily threw his sleeves and left.
"Professor Lan, judging by his attitude, I'm afraid he won't give up!" Han Yuan said with some concern, "If he plays tricks behind our backs again, you must be careful."
Jiang Yao smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will protect my aunt."
With her fighting power, she will definitely be protected!
Lan Qiuru also believed in her.
"Han Yuan, thank you for your hard work in accompanying us in this play. Let's go celebrate!"
She then suggested with a smile.
The three of them then went to a nearby restaurant to get together and stayed until nine o'clock.
After saying goodbye to each other, Jiang Yao sent Lan Qiuru, who had some drinks, back home.
Lan Qiuru, still a little tipsy, waved at her after getting out of the car. "Okay, Yaoyao, we're already home. You should go back soon too. Be careful and let me know when you get home."
Jiang Yao was still a little worried, but Lan Qiuru had already turned around and walked inside.
Jiang Yao also prepared to turn the car around and leave.
But at this moment, a dark figure suddenly appeared in front of Lan Qiuru and grabbed her arm.
The man's appearance could not be seen clearly in the darkness.
But you can see Lan Qiuru's struggle.
Jiang Yao's face changed, and he quickly opened the car door and rushed over, grabbed the man's arm and threw him to the ground with a standard shoulder throw.
"ah--"
The man let out a scream and the flowers in his hand fell to the ground.
With the help of the neon lights on the roadside, Jiang Yao could see clearly that the person in front of him was a middle-aged man in his forties. He was wearing a suit and was well-groomed.
Beside him was a fallen bouquet of flowers.
Jiang Yao didn't have time to care about his life or death. He turned and looked at Lan Qiuru worriedly, "Auntie, are you okay?"
"I, I'm fine." Lan Qiuru had completely sobered up from her drunken streak and looked at the man on the ground awkwardly. "Mr. An, are you okay? This junior of mine didn't mean to hurt you. She just thought you were some bad guy... I'm so sorry."
A hint of embarrassment flashed across An Heng's eyes.
He got up from the ground in a panic, and said with a good temper, "It's okay! It's my fault. I was a little overly worried when I saw you coming home so late, so I was impolite. It's my fault! I apologize."
Jiang Yao realized that he might have misunderstood something, but he still did not let his guard down: "Aunt, do you know this person?"
"Yes, his name is Mr. An Heng, and he was my... previous collaborator." Lan Qiuru was afraid that she would worry, so she leaned over and whispered in her ear.
"What? He is the son of the woman who went to your antique shop to cause trouble last time?" Jiang Yao blurted out.
Of course she still remembered that.
The woman claimed to be Lan Qiuru's future mother-in-law, and said that there was nothing wrong with taking a few antiques from her daughter-in-law, and she acted as if it was a matter of course.
Now it seems that like mother, like son, both mother and son are tactless.
She said it loudly on purpose, intending to let the person on the other side hear it.
An Heng felt even more embarrassed and awkward when he heard this, and was also a little annoyed.
He didn't expect Lan Qiuru to tell outsiders about such things.
"Qiuru, what happened last time was also my fault. My mother has little education and knowledge, and she misunderstood our relationship. I've always wanted to apologize to you in person, but you've been too busy lately, so it's been difficult for me to see you. That's why I came to your house today to wait for you. I originally wanted to treat you to a meal."
He looked annoyed and guilty, and seemed to be apologizing sincerely.
"No thanks." Lan Qiuru refused bluntly, "Mr. An, I don't care why Ms. Cai misunderstood, but we are just ordinary partners. There is no need for apology or flowers.
Please keep a certain distance from me in the future and don't come to my house again to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings."
An Heng didn't expect that in front of outsiders, her attitude would be so tough and she didn't show him any mercy at all.
His hands hanging at his sides unconsciously clenched into fists, and he almost couldn't maintain his decency.
"I'm sorry for being so abrupt this time. Next time, I'll greet you before visiting you. Sorry, I'll be leaving tonight."
After saying that, he turned and left in a somewhat embarrassed manner, the mask on his face disappeared, revealing a ferocious face.
She's just an old woman who can't get married.
Why do you have to put on airs in front of him?
Does she really think she is so charming?
If it weren't for the Lan family's background, he wouldn't have been so humble.
He has already humbled himself to the core, why shouldn't she appreciate it!
If he had such a good family background, he would have been a celebrity long ago.
Just when he was filled with resentment, his cell phone suddenly rang.
