"I only believe in facts." Ning Nanxue opened the folder and took out a stack of documents. "These are the evidence I collected after going out this time about Howard's acquisition of other companies, and—" She paused, her eyes sharp as a knife, "proof of the 30 million public funds you and Xu Zhao secretly transferred."
"Compared to the 30 million you and Xu Zhao resold, some people's vision is ten years later."
The meeting ended with the board of directors unanimously voting to temporarily revoke all of Fu Chen's powers. Fu Chen's face was ashen, and as he was escorted out of the meeting room by company security, he turned back and glared at Ning Nanxue, "You'll regret this!"
Xu Zhiru rushed out from the side door and blocked Ning Nanxue's way, tears in her eyes: "How could you treat Ah Chen like this? You were once a family, after all, so you can't stand to see him get along well? Do you want to deprive him of everything?"
"A family?" Ning Nanxue sneered, a trace of pain flashing in her eyes. "Back then, you all joined forces to cause my daughter to die of despair. Now it's your turn to endure the same pain."
Xu Zhiru's face suddenly changed: "You——"
"Please move aside." Jiang Tingchen stepped forward and stood in front of Ning Nanxue, his tone unyielding.
Xu Zhiru gritted her teeth and stepped back, then turned around and caught up with Fu Chen who was being taken away.
As night falls, the Fu Building is brightly lit.
Ning Nanxue sat alone in the office, with a complete timeline of today's events on the screen.
She reviewed every step in detail, from the negotiations in France to returning home, from setting traps to arresting people, just like a carefully planned chess game.
"I've finally waited for this day." Ning Nanxue whispered to herself, and suddenly she felt dizzy, her vision blurred, and the documents in her hand scattered all over the floor.
She held onto the corner of the table, but was unable to support herself, and her body tilted uncontrollably toward the ground.
The office door was pushed open at this moment, and Jiang Tingchen rushed forward in two steps and caught her in time when she was about to fall.
"Nanxue!" He exclaimed, feeling the weakness of the person in his arms, and couldn't help but tighten his arms.
Ning Nanxue's eyes were dazed, and she unconsciously grabbed his wrist. Her lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but only vague syllables came out.
"Don't talk, you need to rest." Jiang Tingchen put one arm around her shoulders, supported her knees with the other, and gently picked her up.
In the corridor, security manager Zhang happened to be patrolling. Seeing this, he asked in surprise, "What happened to Mr. Ning? Should we call an ambulance?"
"Hypoglycemia, I'll take care of it." Jiang Tingchen walked straight to the lounge holding Ning Nanxue without looking back.
In the lounge, Jiang Tingchen carefully placed Ning Nanxue on the sofa, poured a cup of warm water, added sugar cubes and stirred evenly.
He gently lifted her head and brought the rim of the cup to her lips.
"Drink a little, you'll feel better." His voice was surprisingly gentle.
Ning Nanxue obediently took a few sips, and a hint of color gradually returned to her face. She slowly opened her eyes and met Jiang Tingchen's worried gaze.
“Sorry…I seem to…”
"You've been busy for three whole days and haven't eaten a single bite properly." Jiang Tingchen interrupted her and took out a piece of chocolate, "Eat some of this to replenish your energy."
Ning Nanxue took the chocolate and suddenly found that there was an exquisite bracelet on her wrist. The silver chain flickered slightly under the light. Looking closely, she saw the initials of their names engraved on it.
"This is..." She looked up in confusion.
Jiang Tingchen reached out and stroked her hair, smiling and saying, "I designed this two-way encryption bracelet specifically for you. From now on, I will be your mobile keystore, guarding you at all times."
Ning Nanxue stared at the bracelet, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.
Everything that happened today replayed in her mind like a kaleidoscope: Jiang Tingchen calmly helping her deal with Howard, contacting Hua Yun behind the scenes for help, setting up a trap to catch the traitor, and now his meticulous care.
"Why do you always stand by me unconditionally like this?" she couldn't help but ask, with an imperceptible tremor in her voice.
Jiang Tingchen stared into her eyes, the light in his eyes was firm and gentle, and he was about to speak——
"Ring, ring, ring--" His cell phone rang suddenly.
Jiang Tingchen frowned as he answered the phone. After a moment, his expression suddenly changed: "I understand. I'll deal with it immediately."
After hanging up the phone, he said with a serious expression, "Howard has started to fight back. The media he controls has begun to spread rumors that 'Fu's technology has major vulnerabilities' in an attempt to suppress the stock price."
"How serious is the situation?" Ning Nanxue quickly sat up, suppressing the dizziness, and her eyes became sharp again.
Jiang Tingchen showed his phone screen. "The Global Financial News just published a bombshell story, accusing Fu's New Energy Technology of having 'systemic security vulnerabilities' and claiming that this could lead to a large-scale data leak."
Ning Nanxue snorted coldly, "Howard's move was so quick." She flipped through the news, her expression growing increasingly gloomy. "The transaction has already begun."
The phone rang again, and the board secretary's voice was urgent: "Mr. Ning, Fu's stock price has plummeted, down over 20%. Several directors are requesting an emergency meeting immediately!"
"Tell them we'll have a video conference in an hour." Ning Nanxue hung up the phone with a serious expression.
Jiang Tingchen nodded. "Let's split up. You'll be responsible for publicly demonstrating the security of the system, and I'll go to New York myself to dig up more evidence."
"Are you sure you want to go alone? Howard is not an easy character to deal with." Ning Nanxue frowned, with rare worry in her tone.
"Compared to me, I'm more worried about you facing this storm of public opinion alone." Jiang Tingchen approached her, "Are you sure you can do it?"
Ning Nanxue stood up, a determined light flashing in her eyes: "I will not back down this time. The Fu family belongs to Fu Chen and Sui Sui, they can't take anything away from them anymore."
Jiang Tingchen took out a metal piece the size of a fingernail from his briefcase and said, "Install this on the company's main server. If someone tries to hack into it, it will automatically record the intruder's IP address and operation traces."
Ning Nanxue took the tracker, and her fingers accidentally touched Jiang Tingchen's palm. Their eyes met, and a silent understanding spread in the air.
"I'll contact Louis first and ask him to prepare a technical report to prove the security of the system." Jiang Tingchen dialed the phone and hung up after a few brief conversations. "He agreed and will release a professional assessment within two hours."
Ning Nanxue's fingers suddenly stopped tapping on the keyboard. "I have a better idea." A sneer appeared on her lips. "Since they question our security system, let's show the whole world how safe it really is."
“You mean—”
"A global live test. Invite top hackers to challenge our 'dynamic fingerprint authentication' system in real time." Ning Nanxue's eyes flashed with fighting spirit. "At the same time, track Howard's financial operations and catch him manipulating the stock price."
Jiang Tingchen smiled: "This is the Ning Nanxue I know."
"By the way, get me a ticket to New York." Ning Nanxue stood up and straightened her clothes. "I also want to face Howard in person. I'll go with you."
"You almost fainted just now, don't be so stubborn." Jiang Tingchen frowned.
