Chapter 98 Limited Ability
Just then.
The phone she had thrown on the sofa lit up again.
The name on the caller ID made Gu Baozhu's face turn pale instantly.
Jiang Dongwei.
She walked over stiffly, picked up the phone, and swiped the answer button with trembling fingertips.
Jiang Dongwei's calm but oppressive voice came from the phone.
"Baozhu, how are things going?"
Gu Baozhu's heart sank suddenly.
Anxiety suddenly emerged in her heart.
When she spoke, her voice trembled.
"Uncle, I...I've thought about it."
She clenched her phone tightly, and her voice was filled with a hint of cruelty.
"I'm definitely going to do this. But I just don't know how to do it."
A light snort came from the other end of the phone.
His tone was full of undisguised disdain.
"Can't do it? It means you're not trying hard enough."
"Don't tell me you can't bear it."
Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at Aunt Wang who was wiping a vase not far away.
She clutched her phone, stood up, and walked towards the garden outside the living room.
Keep your voice down as you walk.
"I'm not heartless, I just can't find a breakthrough."
"I secretly looked at the computer in his office, and there was no useful information in it at all."
"That's all I can do."
The sound of Jiang Dongwei's fingers tapping on the table came from the receiver.
Every blow seemed to hit Gu Baozhu's heart.
"Since we can't get the secrets, we'll just plant a virus in his computer."
Jiang Dongwei's voice was concise and cold.
Gu Baozhu's footsteps paused for a moment. She turned back nervously and looked around.
After confirming that there was no one around, she spoke into the phone, her voice changing in tone.
"I...I don't know how! Uncle, please don't make things difficult for me."
She changed the subject, adding a hint of probing tone.
"Even if you want to give Jinnian a chance to train, you can start with him from the grassroots level..."
"You want to interfere in my affairs?"
Jiang Dongwei's voice suddenly became sharp.
Gu Baozhu shuddered with fear.
She immediately made a panicked excuse.
"I dare not! I dare not!"
"Uncle, I will do whatever you say."
The tension on the other end of the phone seemed to ease a little.
"Come to the Jiang family's old house now. I'll give you the USB drive."
Gu Baozhu's heart sank, and she stood there without saying a word.
Jiang Dongwei heard her silence.
He spoke slowly, each word carrying a deadly temptation.
"This is the only chance."
"If you don't want it, I can only give it to someone else."
She has been planning for the position of the future mistress of Jiang Yanbai for so long, and she must not give it to anyone else!
Gu Baozhu no longer hesitated and spoke eagerly into the phone, fearing that the opportunity would slip away if she was a second late.
"I want to! Uncle, I want to do it!"
On the other end of the phone, Jiang Dongwei's tone revealed a subtle sense of relief.
"That's not bad."
"Don't say anything more, come here quickly."
The call was abruptly hung up.
Gu Baozhu held the phone tightly, suppressing the promise deep in her heart, not daring to waver in the slightest.
She grabbed the car keys from the sofa and rushed out of the villa.
The Jiang family's old house.
The car stopped steadily in front of the ancient and heavy gate. A servant was already waiting there, leading her through the courtyard.
In the living room, Jiang Dongwei was sitting on a throne chair, holding a celadon teacup in his hand, with a relaxed posture.
On the sofa next to him, there was a young man sitting lazily. His features were somewhat similar to Jiang Dongwei's, but his expression was a bit more cynical and frivolous.
Gu Baozhu's heart skipped a beat uncontrollably.
She collected her thoughts and walked respectfully in front of Jiang Dongwei.
"uncle."
Her voice was particularly clear in this overly quiet living room.
She didn't dare to look up, her eyes fell on the tips of her polished shoes.
"Where is the USB drive?"
Jiang Dongwei did not answer immediately.
He simply used the cup lid to slowly skim off the foam on the surface of the tea.
Then, he pointed with his chin at the mahogany chair opposite.
"No hurry. Sit."
Just then, a smiling voice broke the deadlock.
"Yo."
Jiang Jinnian spoke, he stood up and looked at Gu Baozhu with interest.
"I thought she really loved Jiang Yanbai to death."
"I didn't expect that driven by interests, they would be willing to do such a thing."
Gu Baozhu's cheeks turned red instantly.
She suddenly looked up and met Jiang Jinnian's eyes that were watching the show.
"I did this all for Yanbai!"
Jiang Dongwei placed the teacup heavily on the table.
His eyes turned to his son with clear reproach.
"There's nothing for you to do here, so go ahead."
Then, his gaze fell on Gu Baozhu again, but his words were directed to Jiang Jinnian.
"Don't say that again."
"Baozhu is clearly doing this for Yanbai, how can you say that about her?"
These words were like a shot in the arm.
Gu Baozhu's tense nerves slowly relaxed.
Her uncle was on her side and he understood her.
Jiang Jinnian curled his lips, not caring at all about his father's scolding.
He stood up, pulled his car keys from his pocket and dangled them between his fingers.
"Okay, Dad. I'm going to go out and play. I won't be an eyesore to you guys anymore."
When he reached the door, he seemed to remember something and turned around to smile at the two of them.
"Looking forward to your good news."
In the living room, only she and Jiang Dongwei were left.
Jiang Dongwei slowly took something out of the pocket of his Zhongshan suit.
He pushed a black USB drive onto the mahogany table.
"You just need to plug this thing into Jiang Yanbai's computer."
Jiang Dongwei's voice returned to its coldness.
"In five minutes, the virus can be implanted in his computer."
His sharp eyes were fixed on her.
"However, you cannot be interrupted during these five minutes."
Gu Baozhu gently picked up the USB flash drive.
She could imagine the rage that would burn in Jiang Yanbai's eyes when he discovered everything.
Her hand paused.
"Are you sure..."
Her voice was as thin as a mosquito.
"He won't break up with me after I'm done?"
The last bit of gentleness in Jiang Dongwei's eyes disappeared completely, leaving only scrutiny.
"My patience is limited."
He leaned back in his chair, his posture showing the calmness of a person in control.
"If you hesitate any longer, our cooperation will no longer continue."
Jiang Dongwei issued a final ultimatum.
She clutched the cold USB drive in her hand tightly, her tone firm.
"good."
“I will never regret the path I have chosen.”
Jiang Dongwei's face finally showed a look of satisfaction.
He tapped his fingertips on the mahogany tabletop.
"Very good. Besides this, there is one more thing I need you to do."
Gu Baozhu raised her eyes, her eyes sparkling with deliberate tenderness.
"Uncle, my ability is limited..."
