Chapter 358: Tracking? Trap?
Jiang Yao thought about it and felt that Lu Xuan was still of some use, so he finally let him get in the car.
The vehicle sped all the way to Binhai City, and the atmosphere along the way was relatively cold.
"Yaoyao, I will help you get the technology back, even at any cost." Lu Xuan's firm voice sounded in his ears.
Jiang Yao remained unmoved.
Doesn’t this guy brag enough?
She started to speed up, but it suddenly started to rain heavily outside, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier.
Jiang Yao's face darkened slightly. He glanced at the coordinates that Qiao Wei had just sent on the tablet and frowned.
"The signal source is in the container at Binhai Pier 1."
Jiang Yao always felt something was strange. Logically speaking, after such a long time, Song Mian could have just taken a plane and fled the country, so why did he choose to go to the dock to conduct the transaction?
I always feel like something is wrong, but I don’t have time to think about it for a while.
The car finally stopped at the pier.
It was raining heavily outside, so the two of them had to put on protective clothing, get out of the car, and walk towards the control room at the dock.
After some negotiations with the administrator, she successfully entered the monitoring room and retrieved the surveillance footage.
I scrolled back about an hour and reviewed the footage frame by frame.
Lu Xuan also followed her to check.
"here--"
At a certain moment, he suddenly pointed at the screen.
Jiang Yao quickly clicked pause. In the picture, a woman holding an umbrella walked towards a container. The umbrella was completely open, blocking the camera, making it impossible to see what she was doing.
But not long after, she turned and left again.
"I suspect that container is where they're doing the business. I want to go check it out myself."
Jiang Yao made a decision quickly.
"I'll go with you..."
"No, you stay outside to guard and find out where Song Mian is. I'll go there alone."
Jiang Yao was firm this time.
Lu Xuan knew that she didn't trust him, and he felt bitter inside, but he could only nod.
Watching her back as she hurried away.
Jiang Yao ran all the way in the rain and arrived in front of the container. According to the position he had observed before, Song Mian finally stopped inside container No. 10.
She quickly locked onto her target, pulled out a hairpin from her head, pried open the inspection hatch of the container with deft movements, and then walked in silently.
It was pitch black inside, so she could only take out her cell phone and turn on the light, finally able to see the scene inside clearly.
A device is transmitting data and has reached 195%!
“Oh no!”
Jiang Yao immediately understood that this was her core technical secret, so she took out a USB flash drive that she had prepared in advance and inserted it into it without hesitation.
Her fingers flew across the keyboard quickly, and she quickly completed a series of operations.
After doing this, her expression was just about to relax.
At this moment, a cold voice sounded from behind.
"Miss Jiang, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Jiang Yao turned around suddenly and saw the black muzzle of a gun.
Standing not far away was Song Mian holding a gun.
Her pupils shrank, and her previously confused thoughts suddenly became clear. "You did this on purpose. You parked at the dock on purpose, luring me here. This was a trap you set from the beginning."
Then all the unreasonable things before have been explained.
"It seems you're not that stupid." Song Mian chuckled. "I know how much you value this research, but it's a pity. Do you really think I'll let you successfully retrieve the data?"
Jiang Yao responded calmly, "Whether I get the data back or not isn't important to me. What's important is...that you don't get it."
Song Mian's pupils shrank upon hearing this, and his face darkened as he looked at the garbled text on the screen behind her. "You destroyed the data!"
It was a waste of her hard work to obtain this technology. She was almost successful, but failed at the last moment.
In fact, Jiang Yao’s original purpose was not to retrieve the data, but to destroy it.
After all, the technology is kept in her mind, and as long as she is there, it can be reproduced at any time.
It only took Song Mian a few seconds to calm down from her anger. She suddenly sneered, "Do you think you can still survive and go back to make technology?"
Jiang Yao's heart sank slightly, his ominous premonition confirmed. "You want to kill me? If you're a corporate spy, why would you go to such lengths? Who ordered you to do this, and what benefits did he offer you?"
"You don't need to know this." Song Mian snorted and laughed, "It's just your own bad luck. You will die with doubts."
She gripped the gun tightly in her hand and was about to pull the trigger.
At such a close distance, Jiang Yao had almost no way to escape.
In a panic, she shouted, "Aren't you afraid of being imprisoned for a murder?"
Jiang Yao's forehead was covered with fine beads of cold sweat, his heart was beating like a drum, and even his palms were sweating.
"If I were afraid, I wouldn't be here today! Go to hell." Song Mian said and was about to take action.
At this critical moment, a fierce gust of wind blew from behind.
Song Mian realized that something was wrong and subconsciously moved to the side.
The stick behind him swung in the air.
Song Mian's pupils shrank when he saw who was coming. He said in disbelief, "Lu Xuan, you actually—"
Just when she was distracted, Jiang Yao seized the opportunity, rushed over at lightning speed, and as nimble as a cheetah, grabbed her gun-holding hand and twisted it hard.
With a "click" sound, the hand was twisted off on the spot.
The gun fell to the ground uncontrollably.
"Ah!!!" Song Mian let out a heart-wrenching scream in pain.
Her knee was kicked, and her legs went limp and she fell to the ground.
Lu Xuan on the opposite side immediately dropped the stick in his hand and nervously stepped forward to look Jiang Yao up and down, "Yaoyao, are you okay? Is everything serious?"
Jiang Yao had a complicated expression. In such a dangerous situation just now, Lu Xuan actually had the courage to save her.
It seems that he is really not as arrogant and selfish as before.
"I'm fine."
Her tone was relatively calm.
Only then did Lu Xuan breathe a sigh of relief.
His gaze immediately fell on the woman kneeling on the ground, and he scolded her bitterly, "Song Mian, I trusted you so much and handed over all the power to you, but you betrayed me and even wanted to harm Yaoyao. Tell me! Who sent you to target her?"
Even though Song Mian was sweating profusely from the pain and her whole body was shaking, she still clenched her teeth tightly and said nothing, obviously not wanting to betray the person behind her.
Lu Xuan was immediately furious and raised his hand to hit her.
At this moment, Jiang Yao suddenly said, "It was Ryan who ordered you to do this!"
Song Mian was stunned for two seconds after hearing this, then suddenly opened his eyes wide and blurted out, "How did you know?"
Her behavior made Jiang Yao have some ideas in mind.
"No, it has nothing to do with him." Song Mian quickly realized that something was wrong and immediately denied it: "I stole the secrets myself. I am the one who wanted your life. It has nothing to do with anyone else."
Lu Xuan was almost amused by her words. "Even now, you're still trying to protect your master. What a loyal dog you are! I want to see if your master will come to rescue you if we catch you now."
