Chapter 404: Chapter 259: Firmly Grasping the Winning Ticket! (Request for Subscription)
Winter day, the sun was bright and not blinding.
On a relatively secluded road on the outskirts of Anling City, the gentle light and shadows lingered where not many vehicles passed by.
Lin Chuan pulled over to the roadside and stopped.
In the passenger seat,
The Little Landlady looked at Lin Chuan with slight confusion and asked, “Chairman, why have you brought me here?”
Lin Chuan unfastened his seatbelt and made a shushing gesture.
Then, he took out a tablet, lightly tapped the screen, and remotely connected to the computer at Falcon Technology Company’s office.
Soon after, Lin Chuan put on an over-ear headset.
A moment passed.
The headset emitted faint sounds, resembling the wind, interspersed with noises of someone rummaging through things.
Lin Chuan was not in a hurry; he quietly listened.
Finally, he heard a cellphone ringtone from the Asia-Pacific office of the Morgan Group.
Lin Chuan glanced outside the car, saw no suspicious activities, pursed his lips slightly, and listened more intently to the sounds coming through the headset.
“Run?”
It was ‘Yu’s’ voice.
Although the sound wasn’t loud, Lin Chuan could still hear clearly.
Shortly, Yu spoke again, “Alright, I’ll investigate immediately!”
Lin Chuan furrowed his brows.
At that moment, he heard Lucas’s voice clearly in the headset, “Yu, is there an emergency?”
Yu replied, “The news from over there suggests that Lin Chuan might run!”
Lucas paused, “Where would he go?”
“Abroad.”
“Going abroad now? Isn’t that suicidal?”
“It’s hard to say, this man is very cunning and full of tricks. They have a saying over there, ‘a crafty rabbit has three burrows.’ Once he leaves the country and vanishes from our sight, it truly won’t be easy to find him!” Yu spoke with a certain gravity.
On the other side,
Lucas, surprised by this news, asked, “He doesn’t care about his little girlfriends anymore?”
Listening to this, Lin Chuan’s mouth twitched.
What did he mean by ‘his little girlfriends’? There’s only Xinxin, right!
“Zhang Xinxin, who co-founded the company with him, should be in his car, probably planning to run together!” Yu Qin looked at Lucas and said.
“What about the other two?” Lucas asked.
“Shen Qianqian and Xia Qingqing haven’t moved, but we can’t touch those two. He probably figured this out as well, which is why he’s taking Zhang Xinxin first,” Yu Qin speculated.
“Didn’t think he’d be such a coward!” Lucas scoffed, “Then our lawsuit is as good as won!”
Yu Qin nodded slightly.
Following that, Yu Qin and Lucas immediately began to investigate Lin Chuan and Zhang Xinxin’s travel itinerary.
Lin Chuan had no trips planned in the coming days.
He had been sued and had lawsuits pending, which temporarily restricted his travels.
Yu Qin incidentally found the overseas flight ticket of Li Qing from Company 720, and after verifying with Lucas, they quickly concluded: Lin Chuan planned to disguise himself as Li Qing to flee the country.
Huff—
Having listened to this lengthy conversation, Lin Chuan took off his headset and breathed out lightly.
Basically, a conclusion could be drawn.
—The Karl in the company equaled Karl from the AW hacker organization.
Lin Chuan, unsure whether to praise Karl or to mock him, simply commented, “Very bold!”
“Chairman, may I ask who you’re referring to as bold?”
Beside him, the Little Landlady sat obediently for a long time, neither playing with her phone nor leaving the car, just sitting quietly, waiting for Lin Chuan to finish his business.
Lin Chuan turned his head and habitually pinched the Little Landlady’s cheek, then smiled, “A rat has sneaked into our company!”
“Huh?”
A look of surprise flashed across the Little Landlady’s pretty oval face, “What rat?”
“A big rat!”
Lin Chuan said with a smile tinged with interest.
The Little Landlady furrowed her brow and pondered for a while, “You mean Karl?”
“Very smart!”
Lin Chuan nodded lightly in praise, “You would never guess his true identity!”
Although the Little Landlady was quick-witted, she had never been exposed to the sort of shadowy battles between Karl and Lin Chuan and couldn’t guess Karl’s identity right away.
Seeing the Little Landlady’s puzzled look, Lin Chuan didn’t play coy anymore.
He glanced around once more and smiled, “Karl is a core member of AW, and he’s come to our company to go undercover!”
“Ah?”
The Little Landlady was momentarily stunned, even more confused.
A core member of AW?
What kind of high-profile identity was that?
Lin Chuan then recounted the details and played the intercepted recording for the Little Landlady, leaving her even more bewildered.
“So what do we do now? Shall we arrest Karl?” the Little Landlady asked hesitantly.
“Arrest him? Why?” Lin Chuan countered.
“To get rid of the cancer in our company and incidentally add some achievements for Sister Qianqian and Sister Qingqing!” the Little Landlady said, nodding as she spoke.
Lin Chuan laughed heartily and waved his hand, “With Karl in our company, I see a chance to take down both the Morgan Group and AW!”
“I understand now!”
Xinxin’s little mind finally caught on, “You want to use Karl?”
“Such a good loudspeaker, it’d be a shame not to use it.” Lin Chuan raised his eyebrows, a smile playing at the corners of his mouth.
“So what are we doing next? Heading to the airport?”
“Of course, we need to play out the whole act!”
Lin Chuan started the car, stepped on the accelerator, and after driving around the outskirts of Anling a few times, he headed for the airport.
Anling Airport was not far from Lin Chuan’s location.
However, getting on a plane for Lin Chuan and the Little Landlady proved to be problematic.
