Chapter 72: Seventy-two Billion “I feel like I have to work really hard to be worthy of her…
The next afternoon, after a short rest, Xin Jingli went out to look at real estate.
Ling Yao's incident reminded her that if she didn't take security measures as soon as possible, if her identity was exposed one day, it would definitely bring disaster to those around her.
Last night she contacted an agency. In addition to the security company, there will also be an investment company in the future. She thought of buying the entire property directly for convenience.
Driving out of Chenhong, passing the city center, and heading towards the suburbs, Xin Jingli always felt something was wrong.
Behind him, in the Rolls-Royce following far behind, Jin Jingfang received a call from Xu Zhanyan.
"Your location is moving, where are you going, sister?"
Jin Jingfang stared at the Bugatti's tail, but the suburbs were remote and there were many forking roads, so if he wasn't careful he would lose it.
"I don't know. She didn't tell me."
Xu Zhanyan originally thought that Jin Jingfang wanted to take advantage of his proximity to Xin Jingli to meet her alone, but after hearing this, it seemed that was not the case.
He quickly checked the locations of the remaining rivals, and none of them were in the same direction as Xin Jingli.
It's strange. There are no tourist attractions or entertainment places there. Why would she go there?
Because he couldn't interfere with her actions, and if he called to ask, Xin Jingli would definitely know that they didn't have a good relationship in private, Xu Zhanyan didn't ask any more questions.
He received an invitation from a company last night, saying that they admired his defense system and wanted to discuss cooperation. The offer was twice as much as Xi Jiyu's.
When contacting Xi Jiyu, Xu Zhanyan also looked for other companies. After all, who would want to find a rival when they can cooperate with others?
With the mentality of giving it a try, Xu Zhanyan agreed.
"I have a report to make later and don't have time to stare at you. The map shows that the place you're going to is very remote. Remember, okay, sister, it doesn't matter what happens to you, but I can't let anything hurt me."
After giving these instructions, Xu Zhanyan turned off his phone, picked up his computer, and walked into Yingying Technology Company.
The security guard at the front desk was slack, and three or five people with computer bags on their backs passed by him with gloomy expressions. They looked like the typical internet company employees who had worked overtime and were tired and lifeless.
He knew that this company had just been established and had a lot of capital, so it must be backed by some wealthy man. Unfortunately, its products were not technologically advanced, so it had not gained popularity.
The person who contacted him said that he would make his defense system the company's signature product.
Apart from the double quote, this was the one that attracted him the most. Everyone wants their achievements to be seen by others.
As soon as I stepped out of the elevator, a man in a suit and tie with Mediterranean hair came up with a smile and extended his hand to greet me: "Mr. Xu?"
"Yes, hello." Xu Zhanyan shook hands back.
"Just call me Manager Wang. My secretary contacted you last night. So, let's cut to the chase and go directly to the conference room to demonstrate your defense system."
Although Xu Zhanyan felt it was hasty, he was now worried about Xin Jingli who had fled to the suburbs, afraid that she would be in danger. The sooner it ended, the sooner he could know about her.
"Okay." Xu Zhanyan nodded.
I will just briefly show you the working process of the defense system. Since we haven't reached a cooperation yet, I naturally cannot say much about the important parts.
Many companies seek him out, and Xu Zhanyan has said the same presentation script countless times. He is fluent and at ease throughout the entire presentation process.
"That's about it." He finished neatly and waited for Manager Wang to speak. His thin shoulders were straight, without any of the timidity of a recent high school graduate.
"Not bad." The man clapped his hands. "That's all for today. I'm very satisfied. We can discuss further cooperation."
In a word, Xu Zhanyan left the company again in a daze.
It was strange that the other party didn't seem to be eager to cooperate with him, but he was very enthusiastic during the phone call last night, saying that he was indispensable and that his defense system was what the company had been looking for.
Why is there no follow-up now?
Don’t you like the defense system?
Although it was a little regretful, Xu Zhanyan just shrugged.
There are many companies looking for him, so we can talk slowly. If it doesn't work out, we can sign with Xi Jiyu, but he will just be annoyed by his identity as a rival.
Xu Zhanyan took out his cell phone, opened the system, and found that he could not locate Jin Jingfang's communication device.
He called Jin Jingfang, but the line was always busy, busy, or had no signal.
Checking Xin Jingli's equipment, it was the same.
Did they go to a place with no signal? Even so, they shouldn't have disappeared so cleanly.
Are you in danger?
Xu Zhanyan frowned and ran to the flower bed.
The handsome young man in a white T-shirt and black pants always easily attracts the attention of passers-by. When he squats in the flower garden and operates the computer skillfully and orderly, the wind blows, and everyone's thoughts are brought back to high school, thinking of the spotless and excellent school hunk.
Xu Zhanyan didn't notice that the crowd stopped to look at him, he was only busy turning on the computer to check the defense system.
After checking several times and finding nothing abnormal, he finally relaxed his shoulders.
At the last step, the computer flashed for a short time, less than half a second. Xu Zhanyan took a breath and tensed up again.
In that half second just now, if someone had attacked, Xin Jingli's information would have been likely leaked.
He immediately took out his cell phone and dialed Xin Jingli's number.
When the beep sounded, Xu Zhanyan didn't dare to neglect it for a moment and went straight to the point, "Sister, was there anything wrong with your phone just now?"
If the information is leaked, Xin Jingli's equipment must be malfunctioning. If we tell him the reason, there is still time to remedy the situation, but we have to race against time.
"Just now? No, I didn't feel anything." Xin Jingli's puzzled voice came, "What's wrong?"
Hearing this, Xu Zhanyan felt as if a huge stone had been lifted from his heart. He let out a long breath, "It's okay, as long as there's nothing unusual."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Zhanyan realized that he was so nervous that he was sweating profusely, and his cheeks, temples and the back of his T-shirt were already soaked.
Also, at some point, a lot of passers-by gathered behind me, all recording videos with their mobile phones.
On this side, Xin Jingli had just come out of the unfinished building and was already confused. He became even more confused when he received Xu Zhanyan's call.
An hour ago.
According to the address given by the agent, her car was parked in front of a dilapidated house. It was an unfinished building with drafts on all sides. The weeds were taller than her. There was no one around and there was an echo when she walked in.
What happened? The agent recommended this to her?
She looked it over.
The area is large enough, but her requirement is that it can be used as an office after simple decoration. It looks like it needs to be demolished and rebuilt.
She called the agent to ask if she had given the wrong address, but it kept showing an invalid number.
Behind her, there was a sound of footsteps coming from the corner, kicking the broken pieces of paper on the ground. The sound was getting louder and louder, approaching her direction.
It seems like today is a setup, isn't it a kidnapping attempt? Just like last time with Ling Yao?
Xin Jingli pretended not to hear anything and continued to dial the invalid number.
Until the footsteps stopped behind her.
Bang!
A dark shadow appeared from the side, blocking the man's hand that was about to fall on her shoulder, and flew to the corner of the wall.
"Ah!" Qin Mo wailed and held onto the wall. His elbow was immediately scratched by the bricks, leaving red blood streaks. His facial features wrinkled in pain, and he glared at Jin Jingfang with a pulled mouth.
Jin Jingfang was one of his own men back then, but now that he has a new boss, he dares to attack him, twice! This time, he directly kicked him in the stomach!
"That's the second time! Can you please watch more carefully next time you do it?" Qin Mo was furious.
"I asked him to do it, so you came to me?"
Hearing Xin Jingli's question, Qin Mo rolled his eyes at Jin Jingfang with disgust on his face.
He looked at Xin Jingli and was stunned.
She seemed... much more beautiful than in his memory. He couldn't tell where she had changed, but just seeing her made him feel refreshed, even so fascinated that he couldn't take his eyes off her.
Noticing Qin Mo's absent-minded gaze, Xin Jingli raised his eyebrows in confusion.
"Ahem..." Qin Mo came back to his senses, lowered his head and looked away, brushing off the dust on his clothes. "I didn't look for you. I came here first. He said he wanted to give me a gift. It turns out that gift was you."
"What gift?"
Qin Mo was stunned and blurted out what happened in a moment. He opened and closed his mouth, not knowing how to answer.
Every time Wang Quan said he was giving him a gift, he was actually giving it to someone, either a man or a woman.
Either someone who can help him expand his sphere of influence, or someone who can drink and have fun with him.
He is the young master of the Qin family. With this title, everyone has to bow their heads when they see him. Wang Quan just needs to make an appointment with people at a certain place. If he is satisfied, he will come out and take the people away. If he is not satisfied, he will just leave. It is convenient.
When I received the call last night, Wang Quan guaranteed that it would be a big surprise and that the person would be more powerful than anyone else. He was so excited about this that he stayed all night and even came early.
The result was Xin Jingli, and Qin Mo felt very disappointed.
This damn Wang Quan dares to mess with anyone.
Xin Jingli is a black card holder of Fujin. Her grandfather has repeatedly warned him not to mess with her. No matter how rich and powerful he is, he cannot gamble with the Qin family's fortune.
She couldn't tell Xin Jingli now that she was the so-called gift, otherwise her original intention of investigating her would be exposed, and she would be doomed.
"Oh, that... birthday present... forget it if you don't have it." Qin Mo frowned, not daring to look Xin Jingli in the eye.
"Is it your birthday?" Xin Jingli looked him up and down, casually said "Happy Birthday", and turned away.
Qin Mo was stunned. He looked at Xin Jingli and swallowed.
I thought she would hate me, after all, we had so many unpleasant things before, but I didn't expect her to send me her blessings.
No wonder grandpa always praises Xin Jingli, saying that she has a broad mind and it is no surprise that she can achieve great things.
He chased after her and said, "Thank you. What happened today was just an accident."
Qin Mo apologized because she felt that it was inappropriate for Wang Quan to want to treat her as a gift.
Xin Jingli thought Qin Mo was talking about how he had tricked her here today.
"This time, follow the rules. If you apologize, help me find a property, and there won't be a next time." She shrugged.
"Sure, the Qin family has real estate development, and my brother also has it under his name."
Xin Jingli glanced at him, got in the car and left.
It doesn't matter whose name it is under, as long as the property is suitable. After all, Dongcheng is so small, and you must deal with these companies when doing business.
But the "Happy Birthday" she just said was just something she said casually, not something she meant sincerely.
Qin Mo lived a life of debauchery. She didn't want to make close friends with him, nor did she want to make enemies with him to avoid trouble.
At this moment, the cell phone rang in the car. It was Xu Zhanyan calling.
The first thing he asked her anxiously was whether there was anything wrong with her communication equipment.
Xin Jingli looked at his phone, then at the various electronic gadgets in the car, "No problem."
I have just been dealing with Qin Mo and really didn't find any problems.
As for Xu Zhanyan, after hanging up the phone, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
After returning to the rented house from the company, Xu Zhanyan thought about it all the way, until he sat at the table in the room and remembered that the problem was with Jin Jingfang's equipment.
Although he didn't dare to follow Xin Jingli, he always knew Jin Jingfang's location. Their situations must be the same, so Jin Jingfang was out of contact for a while, which meant that Xin Jingli was also out of contact.
Xu Zhanyan called Jin Jingfang again and asked what happened during that time.
"Jingli was chatting with Qin Mo at the time, and none of us three looked at our phones the whole time," Jin Jingfang explained.
Xu Zhanyan turned on the defense system and finally knew where the problem lay.
With that flash, Xin Jingli's equipment was out of the system's protection. Since there was no signal and the area where she was was tampered with, he had no way to detect it.
Although it was only half a second, more than half of the information was stolen.
Xu Zhanyan immediately dialed Xin Jingli's cell phone number.
To Xu Zhanyan's surprise, Xin Jingli didn't seem surprised.
"What information was stolen?" she asked calmly.
After he reported the leaked information, Xin Jingli replied calmly: "Just pretend it never happened. Don't worry about it."
He seemed confident and had a plan in mind to deal with it.
Xu Zhanyan was confused.
However, faced with a whole page of information about Xin Jingli, knowing her alias, her past, and the way she had just handled the situation with such composure, Xu Zhanyan clenched his fists, unable to calm down.
He fell in love with a very powerful person, so powerful that it seemed like it would take him a long time to catch up with her.
