Chapter 227 Rescue
On the other side, in a suite on the top floor of Huangtian Group.
Song Yiqiao was watching the barrage of comments that were flooding the live broadcast room. People were cursing the heavens and Qiao Zhizhang, almost criticizing him verbally and in writing.
They accused him of being cold-blooded, cruel, and inhuman, a vampire capitalist, the public enemy of the entire empire, a rotten cucumber with corrupt personal ethics, a chewed-up piece of gum, the garbage that crawled out of his father's anus, a murderer, a scum, a beast... their words were extremely sharp, cruel, and sarcastic.
She couldn't help but laugh out loud. The anger that had been pent up in her heart for a long time was finally released, and she felt a sense of relief.
This arrogant chaebol boss probably never imagined that she would tear off his hypocritical mask. Seeing his ugly face exposed to the public and being reviled by thousands of people is truly satisfying.
Now the emperor has incurred public wrath. If this matter is not thoroughly investigated, the people will not agree. Even if Qiao Zhizhang wants to cover up the matter as he did before, he probably can't do it.
Once the judicial authorities launch an investigation into Huangtian, not only Qiao Zhizhang will be thrown into jail, but the entire top management of Huangtian will also be imprisoned.
By then, I believe that Huangtian, the evil capital consortium, will be not far from collapse.
I was lost in thought when a low voice suddenly came from behind me, "Someone's coming."
Song Yiqiao was startled and immediately became alert. She turned to look at Lan Yingzhang, the bodyguard sent by Tianqiong to pick her up.
She stood up quickly, staring at the door, and held the telescopic stick at her waist with her right hand.
Lin Mai, who was standing by, also dodged and hid behind her, saying in a trembling voice, "They must be Huang Tian's men. They're coming to kill us both and silence us!"
Song Yiqiao's heart suddenly tightened. She had no doubt about Lin Mai's words. She had seen how despicable the methods of the Huangtian Group were.
If she hadn't been alert and deliberately kept a trick up her sleeve when Tang Jianshan tricked her to the top floor yesterday, and hadn't taken out the holographic glasses and put them on before getting out of the elevator, she would probably have been stuck in this room with Lin Mai, where no one could help her, imagining the possible tragic ending and crying bitterly.
She originally thought that Tianqiong would choose to call the police to rescue them.
But if they do this, not only will the police response be delayed, but it will also alert the emperor, giving them time to destroy the evidence, and they will not be able to turn the tables at the hearing.
But apart from this, Song Yiqiao couldn't think of any good way to get them out of danger without alarming the emperor.
Therefore, when Lin Wei told her, "Mr. Zhou already knows, you can just wait and have peace of mind," she was not relieved, but became even more uneasy.
After leaving the virtual conference room, she curled up on the sofa, her body shivering and many terrible thoughts emerging in her mind.
Would Tang Jianshan force her to sign an agreement to volunteer to be an experimental subject, and then drag her into the laboratory, just like he did to the volunteers in the videos?
Will she be like those people?
She died tragically on the operating table, blood dripping onto the floor from her fingers that had fallen onto the table...
Just as Song Yiqiao was lost in thought and about to be overwhelmed by fear, a light tapping sound suddenly came from outside the window.
She turned her head and her eyes widened instantly.
I saw a dark figure hanging outside the window, his hands in tactical gloves pressed against the glass, his lips moving, apparently saying, "Open the window."
Song Yiqiao realized that this person might have been sent by Tianqiong. He immediately came back to his senses from the bloody scenes, jumped up from the sofa like a spring, rushed over to open the window, and let the person jump into the house.
Lin Mai's shocked voice rang out, "Oh my God! This is the 100th floor, how did you get up here?"
The other party glanced at them and said in a steady voice, "Take the cargo drone to the top floor and then use the rope to come down."
Then he pressed the headset and said, "I'm here, hang the things down."
Three minutes later, an alloy box was silently carried into the room. Lan Yingzhang flicked a switch, and the lid automatically opened, revealing a complete set of electronic equipment inside: a laptop, a signal jammer, a miniature drone, and so on.
Lin Mai instantly forgot his dangerous situation and was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. "How cool! It's just like in the movies!"
Lan Yingzhang looked at Song Yiqiao, "Where is the evidence you mentioned?"
Not a word of nonsense.
Song Yiqiao frowned slightly. "The hard drive was taken away by Tang Jianshan, the head of the laboratory. It should be in his office. I know the password to the laboratory door. I can wait until night when no one is around and steal the stuff out."
"No need to go through so much trouble. Just use a drone to get it. Otherwise, if we alert the people of Huangtian, we won't be able to catch them off guard."
As she spoke, she tapped on the keyboard, calling up the three-dimensional model of the Huangtian Group building, and then controlled the drone to sneak into the ventilation duct and go all the way down to the laboratory on the tenth floor underground, to Tang Jianshan's room.
The drone transmitted real-time images, and the backs of Tang Jianshan and his assistant could be seen on the screen. Song Yiqiao recognized at a glance that the hard drive containing the evidence was placed on the table in front of the two men.
She cried out excitedly, "That's it!"
Before Lan Yingzhang could do anything, the assistant's voice came from the other side, "Professor, I'll take this hard drive and destroy it."
Song Yiqiao's heart suddenly tightened. If they were really allowed to destroy it, things would be troublesome.
Fortunately, Tang Jianshan immediately rejected his assistant's suggestion, "No, I'll take care of it. You can leave first."
The assistant left and Tang Jianshan was the only one left in the office.
Song Yiqiao breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this old fox did not trust his assistant and did not dare to hand over such evidence that could be used as a handle to him.
But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Tang Jianshan took out a screwdriver from the drawer and started to disassemble the hard drive.
Song Yiqiao's heart was in turmoil again. He wanted to take out the disc inside and destroy it!
Tang Jianshan had just removed a screw when the phone next to him rang. He looked at the incoming call and frowned in confusion.
But he still picked up the phone. When he heard the voice on the other end, he straightened up suddenly and said, "Okay, I'll be right there!"
With that, he walked out quickly, and with a click, the office door locked automatically.
Song Yiqiao looked at Lan Yingzhang in disbelief, "What did you do?"
Lan Yingzhang turned off the intelligent AI dialing system and said calmly, "I faked Qiao Zhizhang's voice and called him."
Song Yiqiao swallowed involuntarily and moved a few inches away from Lan Yingzhang. In such a short time, they had prepared so thoroughly that they even thought of how to lure people away.
She had originally simply sought help from the foundation, but now she was left with only awe in her heart.
It was also at this moment that she felt that the sky could really compete with the emperor of heaven.
She smiled lightly, fearing that those people in Huangtian were still immersed in the beautiful fantasy of sealing off Tianqiong, but they didn't know that Tianqiong's strength was far more terrifying than they thought.
"This won't delay him long. He'll come to his senses soon."
Lan Yingzhang didn't have time to explain more to her. After a brief explanation, he controlled the drone to extend its robotic arm, remove the baffle of the vent, and then fly towards the hard drive on the table.
There were footsteps outside the door, mixed with a few faint curses, "You damn scammer, you wasted my time..."
The drone's robotic arm grabbed the hard drive and flew towards the ventilation duct.
The sound of entering a password was heard at the door.
Song Yiqiao held his breath and his heart stopped beating. Hurry up!
With a click, the door was pushed open from the outside.
When Tang Jianshan saw the situation in the room, his eyes froze instantly.
The hard drive... is gone.
Lan Yingzhang operated the drone and carefully put the baffle back, then let out a soft sigh. Song Yiqiao's whole body went limp, his palms were sweaty, and he seemed even more nervous than her.
They got the hard drive back, and everything went smoothly afterwards. Everything was as they expected. Tianqiong cleared up the rumors of murder, while Huangtian was disgraced for conducting illegal human experiments.
The situation reversed instantly.
Before today, Qiao Zhizhang, who intended to judge Tianqiong, probably never thought that he would be the one standing on the judgment stand in the end.
Song Yiqiao wanted to see how he would argue like a clown in the face of irrefutable evidence, but Tang Jianshan rushed in with security personnel.
He immediately spotted Lan Yingzhang and the drone equipment, then fixed his gaze on Song Yiqiao. His face twisted for a moment, "So... that's how you stole the hard drive."
Song Yiqiao sneered, "That's my own stuff, how can you say it's stolen? When you took my research results, didn't you think about stealing it?"
"You—!" Tang Jianshan was furious, gritting his teeth. "Song Yiqiao, I must have been blind to leave an ungrateful person like you in the lab."
Anger flared in his eyes. "Do you know why I locked you up here instead of taking you to see Director Qiao? Because I hid your theft of company secrets from you, and I wanted to give you another chance! And this is how you repay me?"
"All the hard work of the laboratory over the years has now been destroyed by you! What benefit did Tianqiong give you that was worth betraying me like this?"
Song Yiqiao was slightly stunned.
But then I realized that not a single word said by a scumbag like him was worth believing.
She raised her lips and sneered, "Don't flatter yourself. You didn't dare report it to Director Qiao because you were afraid of being scolded. That's why, even though the hard drive disappeared right under your nose, you didn't dare to make a fuss and could only search for it secretly."
"While watching the live broadcast, you must have been praying desperately in your heart that nothing would happen. But unfortunately, like the desperate Mr. Qiao, you can only watch helplessly as the situation develops in the worst possible direction until it becomes irreversible. You will also fall into the abyss and pay the price for your actions!"
Tang Jianshan was furious. "Bullshit! Your testimony doesn't mean anything. As long as the evidence is destroyed...there will be no evidence!"
He turned around and yelled at the security guard, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry and grab the hard drive for me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, seven or eight security personnel rushed towards the three people.
Lin Mai retreated in a hurry, and Song Yiqiao turned pale with fright. Lan Yingzhang pushed her back with his backhand, pulled out the telescopic stick and rushed forward.
One against many, this is too dangerous.
Song Yiqiao's heart tightened. "What should we do? Didn't Mr. Zhou anticipate this situation? How can we leave safely?"
As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes widened in surprise.
Lan Yingzhang suddenly rushed into the crowd, his telescopic baton wielding a flash of silver light. In an instant, the security guards fell to the ground one after another, clutching their thighs and wailing. The remaining man froze in his place, then recovered his senses and hurriedly pulled out his intercom, about to call for help, when a baton whipped him in the face, sending him flying backwards, his body slamming into the door and collapsing like mud.
Lan Yingzhang looked down at the blood on the stick, and knocked it on the corner of the table expressionlessly, and drops of blood rolled to the ground.
She slowly approached Tang Jianshan and asked, "Do you want me to do it, or do it yourself?"
Tang Jianshan, a researcher who was busy with experiments, had never seen such a scene before and almost fainted.
He hurriedly said, "I... I can do it myself." He spoke so quickly that he almost bit his tongue.
As he spoke, he held the back of his head with his hands and slowly squatted down.
Just as he was about to say something else, a foot suddenly kicked him in the face, and he immediately fell on the ground with his legs up in the air. There was a teeth-grinding sound of breaking in his nose bone, and blood flowed from his nose into his mouth, and the smell of iron spread in his mouth.
He looked up in horror, only to see Song Yiqiao staring down at him coldly, murderous intent in his eyes.
Tang Jianshan's body trembled violently, thinking of what he had done to this person in the past, and was afraid that she would risk her life to kill him at this moment.
"Don't be impulsive, let's talk it over nicely! You know I'm just an employee. Taking your experimental results and using them for illegal human experiments are all company requirements. They have nothing to do with me!"
He looked at Song Yiqiao carefully, and when he saw her raise her hand, he reflexively raised his hand to cover his head.
"Don't hit me. We're colleagues after all. I can just let you go. Besides, if I had rushed in with my men while you were testifying, you wouldn't have been able to sue the Heavens, right?"
Song Yiqiao looked at his embarrassed appearance and sneered, "You are about to die, and you still want to lie?"
"Actually, you'd already led your men outside the room when I was giving my video testimony. It's just that you weren't trying to make things easier for me. You were afraid to rush in. You were afraid of exposing yourself to the entire empire, and you were afraid that the online criticism of Qiao Zhizhang would be directed at you!"
Tang Jianshan was speechless, despair welling up in his eyes. How, how could this woman see him so clearly?
He still wanted to struggle, "No, it's not like that—"
There was a sudden sharp pain in the back of my neck, and my consciousness fell into darkness.
