Chapter 425: Chapter 270: After all this time, I’ve become a spy?
Over half an hour later.
In the office, doctors, secretaries, and other miscellaneous people had all dispersed, leaving only Yu Qin with a grave expression, and Lucas, who had barely escaped with his life after being bandaged up.
The secretary had brought him a wheelchair.
Lucas sat in the wheelchair, cursing inwardly, feeling that misfortunes really never came singly—he had hit a streak of bad luck.
They had lost the lawsuit, Steve had been taken away, Karl had been arrested, and his own knee was injured.
Just when his wound had been dressed,
Sania Weapons Research Company had called Yu Qin directly, speaking in a very nasty tone. He could vaguely hear some of it from the other end, cursing at Yu Qin, saying that she hadn’t properly investigated Lin Chuan’s background, resulting in them provoking a massive entity.
Now, they might face retaliation from the National Weapons Research Institute—a lawsuit.
Since they had initiated the lawsuit against Lin Chuan, would the National Weapons Research Institute strike back on Lin Chuan’s behalf, using their own method against them?
The answer was clear to Lucas, even without using his recently injured knees—of course, they would!
Right now, what worried Sania Weapons Research Company the most was whether they could detect that the evidence in Lin Chuan’s hands, which was falsified, was fake!
If they couldn’t detect it…
GG!
Because Karl had done the same kind of evidence falsification, and they hadn’t been able to spot it either.
Just how good was Lin Chuan’s technical skills?
They didn’t know.
On the phone, Yu Qin repeatedly emphasized that even if the National Weapons Research Institute sued Sania, she would coordinate with the Morgan Group to fight alongside Sania and bear the losses.
And only then did Sania’s company’s anger slowly subside.
But!
They hadn’t anticipated how swiftly the National Weapons Research Institute’s counterattack would come.
That evening.
The night of December 20th.
As night fell, hiding the remaining light of the setting sun, Lucas sat in the wheelchair in front of the window. The blue hues of the evening sky filtered through the glass pane into his vision, piling on another heavy layer of gloom to his already injured body and soul, creating a suffocating and decrepit shroud over his head!
Yu Qin stood beside him, glanced at his leg, then was reminded of the champagne they had uncorked earlier.
The champagne had already been cleaned up.
But the attitude of popping the champagne was starkly different from now.
If uncorking the champagne was akin to waiting at White Jade Capital, then now, they had fallen into the eighteenth layer of hell, enduring torture.
The turn of phrases between the two by the window resembled that of the joker cards in a deck of playing cards.
The ring-ring-ring—
The shrill ring of the mobile phone burst forth!
Lucas’s heart skipped a beat, suddenly feeling as if he might be unable to breathe.
Yu Qin’s face tightened, and her eyebrows had already begun to furrow.
