Chapter 300 Son-in-Law

After the incident, both Jiang Yue and Angler Tech maintained their silence.

However, it did not mean that people followed the flow. After the attack, Angler Tech suffered a huge blow in terms of their stocks and overall reputation in the business world. Of course, who would want to collaborate or work with someone, who had stolen trade secrets from another company? Who knew, what kind of things Angler Tech had done, to maintain their ground in the tech industry? Who knew, if any of their other products had also been stolen.

Although it was not confirmed that Angler Tech really had stolen Jiang Yue"s malware, many people had already made up their mind not to a.s.sociate their businesses with that company. After all, it was always better to be safe, than sorry.

Meanwhile, Jiang Yue was nearing the completion of her "Colossus" project. Until then, that project had been done under utmost secrecy. For Jiang Yue, the amount of money that project could have risen if it was announced, was nothing, compared to the knowledge about her mother being indeed alive.

Fu Jin had already informed her about Li Qiang"s location, being found. It only meant that she could do her surveillance easily and more conveniently.

Speaking of Li Qiang. He was currently busy with his family affairs and looking for w.a.n.g Ruo. For some reason, Li Qiang couldn"t find w.a.n.g Ruo anywhere. It was as if she just vanished into the thin air. Li Qiang knew that once w.a.n.g Ruo disappeared, it would be difficult for him to locate her. After all, she was an expert in disguise. He couldn"t help but wonder if w.a.n.g Ruo was still following Jiang Yue around, or she found a way to get close to her.

On that particular day, however, Fu Jin received a very surprising visitor at his office. Fu Jin had just had lunch with Jiang Yue and took the private elevator through his office when all of a sudden the elevator stopped moving.

Fu Jin initially thought that it was just some electronic problem, so he tried to call Chu Yang, but his call did not go through. Sensing that something was wrong, Fu Jin"s senses got alerted but found nothing particularly threatening. Until he heard a loud thud, just above his head.

Footsteps echoed before the emergency trap door above Fu Jin opened, revealing a woman he had never expected to see.

"Long Die?" Fu Jin said while watching Long Die climb inside the elevator and jump in front of him.

"Relax." Long Die raised her arms, silently telling Fu Jin that she was harmless. "I am here to talk to you."

"Who are you?" Fu Jin asked the moment he heard the confidence in Long Die"s voice. Jiang Yue mentioned that Long Die was a shy and self-conscious, forty-year-old woman. He was sure that Long Die would not climb out from elevators nor she would have the guts to talk to him like this.

"Good catch, young man." Long Die smirked. "I am indeed not Long Die…" she calmly said before removing the contact lens in her right eye, revealing her silver-gray orbs.

Fu Jin"s eyes instantly widened. "w.a.n.g Ruo? You… You…" he stuttered, unable to voice out the things that he wanted to say.

"Oh please… what"s with that reaction?" Long Die stifled a laugh before putting back her contact lens into her eyes. "I was expecting a hug from my son-in-law."

"Just kidding." She added. "I have some important matters to told you and this was the only way that I could talk to you, without raising any suspicion."

"What is it?"

"First, I will let you call your secretary. Inform him you are safe. Just trapped inside the elevator. They need at least five minutes to open it. So, don"t worry."

"I"m not." Fu Jin said as he dialed Chu Yang"s number and informed him about the situation.

"Don"t worry about the camera. They can only see you, standing here, not me." Long Die said when she noticed Fu Jin"s gaze at the CCTV on the elevator.

"You"re alive?!" It wasn"t a question, but a statement. Fu Jin was honestly shocked to see w.a.n.g Ruo, getting close to Jiang Yue to the point of even working with her.

"You"re not surprised?" she asked. "Don"t tell me that… she also knows?"

Fu Jin nodded, making Long Die"s expression darken. Jiang Yue knew that she was alive?

"She is looking for you."

"How did she know that I"m alive? Did Li Qiang tell her? Was it Jiang Mian?"

"It was Wu Minxia. The woman, who pretended to be Jiang Yue. At first, we did not believe her, but Jiang Yue couldn"t stop her mind from a.s.suming… hoping."

Long Die felt how tears pooled in her eyes. So, her daughter hoped that she was still alive?
