C292 Have You Ever Thought about It
Both of them seemed to be thinking about something.
After a long while, Old Master Zhang raised his head and looked into Xiao Chen's eyes. He asked, "What do you think?"
"I have checked the documents inside. The information about the Health Potion is not missing. Also..."
Xiao Chen paused and continued with a complicated expression, "Some of the research and development projects and related materials have backups."
"So, you are saying that Chi Ping did not betray us?"
Old Master Zhang was very wise. From Xiao Chen's tone, he could tell what Xiao Chen was thinking.
"Although there is no direct evidence, I think so!"
"Then why didn't he come back? He had to do something unnecessary!"
"At that time, the situation was critical, so perhaps this was the only choice. Or perhaps, he simply had some sort of difficulties. So... "
Xiao Chen said, and his tone suddenly became serious.
"I want to ask you a small favor!"
"You want me to withdraw the investigation on Chi Ping? "Old Master Zhang frowned even more deeply.
This USB could perhaps be used as indirect evidence that Chi Ping had not betrayed him, but it could not prove that the information had not been leaked.
As the leader of Zhang's, this matter obviously could not be easily resolved by Old Master Zhang.
However, he did not expect that Xiao Chen would shake his head directly.
Staring at the old man's face with a pair of serious eyes, Xiao Chen opened his mouth.
He said, "No, I'm asking you to continue investigating. It's best to make it more lively! "
Xiao Chen's words clearly stunned the old man. For a moment, he did not quite understand what Xiao Chen meant.
After all, he was the same as Lin Yichao and the others. He saw Chi Ping as Xiao Chen's only true friend, and that was why he was even more surprised.
"No matter what the reason is, since he chose to protect the information in such an awkward way and did not show up and explain it to me directly, I should let this' misunderstanding 'continue!"
"Besides, this is also a chance for us!"
Xiao Chen said it seriously, and at the same time, his tone implied something.
Old Master Zhang was silent for a moment before he understood. He immediately said, "You mean you want us to create the illusion that the information about the Health Potion has been lost? So that the people who are watching us in the dark can change their target?"
"That's right!" Xiao Chen immediately nodded.
After all, both Xiao Chen and Old Master Zhang were very serious about studying the Health Potion.
However, if they came here every once in a while just like the night before yesterday, what was the point of studying it?
"But have you ever thought that this might cause Chi Ping's death?"
Old Master Zhang did not immediately reject Xiao Chen's suggestion. He only reminded him sincerely.
"He is not stupid! If there is really danger, there is no place safer than me. Since he chose to leave, I believe he has the confidence to protect himself."
Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes and took a deep breath. He was thinking about the time when he was in Yanjing.
Chi Ping had said that he wanted revenge. That moment of determination was still fresh in Xiao Chen's mind.
But this time, after sending the USB back, Chi Ping did not leave behind any other information.
He did not even ask Xiao Chen to help him take revenge.
He had lived two lives. He knew that hatred could make a person crazy and strong.
Therefore, he chose to believe that Chi Ping wouldn't let anything happen to him before he took revenge.
Most importantly, Lingling had gone missing.
If the two of them were together, with his understanding of Lingling, since he had chosen to leave, he would definitely have a way to save his life.
That was why he had made such a decision.
Furthermore, he had another plan.
It was like looking for a needle in a haystack in the endless horizon. Sometimes, it was not a good thing to find some helpers.
After all, he had already set up spies on the person who was keeping an eye on the information.
However, Xiao Chen did not give the old man a detailed explanation, and there was no need for that.
The old man looked deeply at Xiao Chen and pondered for a long time before nodding his head.
Only then did Xiao Chen hand the USB to the old man. As for how to use it and how to arrange it later, he believed that the old man knew.
This matter ended here.
However, the old man then brought up the robbery of the car and the attack on his research room the night before.
Xiao Chen told him all the information he had gathered.
The old man wasn't really surprised when he heard this. However, when he mentioned the Xue family, the old man thought of something else.
"By the way, you haven't forgotten what I told you last time, have you?"
"What?"
"It's the Martial Cultivation family's social gathering! If it wasn't for this, I don't think the Xue family would only send so few people here. "
"Oh, oh, oh. I almost forgot if you didn't say it. When was the social gathering?"
Xiao Chen scratched the back of his head in embarrassment when he heard that. After all, he had agreed to it back then.
In the end, when things got busy, he threw it to the back of his mind.
Old Master Zhang rolled his eyes. He could only give Xiao Chen another time to announce the start of the Exchange Conference.
"There are twenty days left. Anyway, don't run around in the near future." The old man said to him seriously.
The Exchange Conference this time was of great importance.
However, the research room was attacked, and the Zhang family had suffered a great loss. He had to bring Xiao Chen there, and nothing could go wrong.
"I'll try my best, but you should know that even if I don't go out, trouble will come knocking on my door sometimes."
Shrugging his shoulders, Xiao Chen chuckled. Although he didn't really care about it, he still took it to heart.
The old man rubbed his forehead and hesitated. He wondered if he should find someone to follow Xiao Chen.
But in the end, he gave up.
After chatting for half a day, it was getting late. The old man asked him to stay for lunch.
After thinking about it, Xiao Chen did not refuse.
Now, the media was probably still staring at him and Ruan Xiangjun. It was fine if it was the Chu's, but Ruan Xiangjun was afraid that she could not go to work for the time being.
Should he go back and stare at Ruan Xiangjun? Xiao Chen rejected it in his heart!
But obviously, he neglected one thing: gossip was not the privilege of a person alone.
After sitting for a while, Zhang Xiaoxiao came in with two documents.
"Grandfather, the amendments are done. Which media do you think should we pass it to?"
"There's no hurry. After all, the main point of the story is right here. Let him take a look first. If there is anything he is not satisfied with, then fix it!"
Waving his hand, the old man smiled and threw the two documents in front of Xiao Chen.
Without even having to flip it open, Xiao Chen's eyelids twitched when he saw the huge eye-catching title on the cover.
Wasn't this the record that he had worked as a laborer with Chu Huaiyu and the others yesterday?
Oh, that's not right. It also strictly stated the relationship between Ruan Xiangjun, Chu Huaiyu, and his friends. It also denounced the fraudster.
Although it was very clear about the manuscript, when he looked at it himself, he felt that it was strange.
