Chapter 418: Chapter 266 You Are Suspected of Engaging in Espionage Activities… (Please Subscribe)_2

Lin Chuan's gaze was piercing, like that of a cheetah locking onto its prey, or perhaps more like the Grim Reaper coming from hell, holding a plain and unremarkable scythe, eyeing the life he was about to harvest.

Steve's heart faltered, and a flash of panic quickly crossed his eyes.

But as the chief expert of Sania's rocket launcher program, he had a strong psychological constitution, not so easily intimidated.

He swallowed dryly, then said, “Of course I'm certain, this is ironclad evidence!”

It was their ace in the hole!

As long as they had this piece of evidence, they could firmly pin the crime of cyber theft on Lin Chuan, no matter what.

Hacker, cybersecurity theft, huge amounts involved, estimated at 30 billion, that would mean life imprisonment at the very least!

Perhaps it was this piece of evidence that restored Steve's confidence.

He quickly recovered from Lin Chuan's initial offensive pace, silently calculating his counterattack strategy.

But Lin Chuan didn't give him the chance.

Lin Chuan chuckled, his voice faint, “What a clever scheme you have, but that piece of evidence is purely fabricated. You've committed the crime of false accusation, do you realize that?”

In the courtroom, all eyes turned to Lin Chuan.

This tall and thin figure, now in front of Steve, was like a judge, swiftly commencing Steve's trial.

It seemed as if Lin Chuan was the plaintiff, and Steve had become the defendant.

How the tables had turned!

Seated below, Zhang Biao smiled slightly, thinking to himself, this kid really has something special, cool under pressure, he shares my character from back in the day.

The Little Landlady's face bore a smile, her eyes were vibrant, her heart blooming with joy, indeed worthy of being my chairman!

“Do you have any evidence to prove that my evidence is false?”

Steve's tone was tough, his expression just as stubborn.

He didn't believe it!

This was their never-before-seen ace in the hole, Lin Chuan couldn't possibly know about this perfectly forged evidence!

And it was even less likely for Lin Chuan to have a means to prove that the evidence was fake!

Steve believed that only a god could achieve that!

In Southeast Asia, at the AsiPacific Branch of Morgan Group.

A cool breeze circled inside the hall, then, after wandering around, passed through the half-open grand door, carrying the moist scent of the garden's flowers slowly into the office and mingling with the aroma of champagne.

Different weather in two places.

Here, the sun was bright but not glaring, showering through the sparse clouds and the bright glass windows, perfectly illuminating Yu Qin's face in the office.

Comfortable, peaceful.

Yu Qin was wearing a light cyan dress with a collar, embroidered with a decorative peony that seemed to drip with color, and her long, white legs crossed over each other, revealing a small portion of her fair calves as they swung slightly.

The champagne in her hand also swayed gently.

One could see she was quite pleased.

“Yu.”

At that moment, Lucas, sitting across the sofa, topped off Yu Qin's champagne.

He was dressed in a neat and proper suit, his shoes shined to a gleam, and hair slicked with mousse; the hallway's gentle breeze didn't disturb a single strand.

Today, both were elegantly dressed for the occasion.

On the coffee table between them lay a tablet.

The tablet was conducting a video call.

It was Karl.

Karl sat in the offices of the technical department of the 720 Company, and without saying, he was dressed just as sharp and splendid as Lucas and Yu Qin.

The only difference was that he held coffee in his hand.

“To our imminent victory,” Yu Qin raised her glass slightly and said with a smile.

Across the network, three inhabitants of the same ecosystem drained their glasses!

Lucas felt a bit unsatisfied and started to share the news he heard today, “Yu, Karl, do you know what I looked like when I heard Lin Chuan's lawyer was a college graduate who had just finished school?”

Victory within reach, the pleasantness made Karl much more amiable towards Lucas, “Lucas, tell us.”

Yu Qin also looked at him with interest.

Lucas immediately opened his mouth wide, stuck out his tongue, and rolled his eyes upwards, making an incredulous expression.

Yu Qin and Karl burst into loud laughter.

“I was so shocked, I was wondering, has Lin Chuan completely given up?” Lucas returned to his normal composure, rubbing his face as he spoke.

Karl laughed as well, chiming in, “Quite likely, he's already thrown in the towel. Last time I figured out he was trying to flee, now, his only hope lies in fighting on his home ground.”

Yu Qin set down her wine glass, a hint of contempt curling her lips.

She laughed and said, “Home ground advantage, this route has been completely blocked by our international public opinion!”

Ha ha ha—-

The three of them laughed again, clearly delighted.

Yu Qin added, “Lately, a lot of our regular clients have been inquiring about my arms shipment schedules. You can imagine, we're already gaining a huge advantage!”

“Don't worry, with that network trace evidence of mine, you can rest completely easy,” Karl was brimming with confidence.

After all, the weight of being one of the top ten hackers in the world was reliable!

“Indeed, you are the first hero!”

Yu Qin praised her old friend.

“This operation, the effort I've put in is not small either. The Hass Armed Forces over there were all taken care of by me!” Lucas poured himself some champagne and laughed.

“When the trial results come out, I'll report back to headquarters that you're one of the main heroes, consider it a merit for you!” Yu Qin said with a smile.

Thump thump thump.

In the video, there was a knocking sound at Karl's office door.

Karl then said to the two, “It's probably the staff from company 720 looking for me. Once Lin Chuan is sentenced, I will come straight back and have a proper celebration with you guys!”

“Totally OK!”

Lucas promptly answered, “I'll acknowledge your strength when you're back!”

Karl looked at Lucas and laughed, “Likewise, I acknowledge your strength too. Even though you're not in the top ten, I'd place you at eleventh!”

Lucas immediately burst into a joyous smile, saying Karl would be his best friend.

“Wait for me!”

Karl closed the video, cleared his trails with utmost speed, and then casually picked up his coffee and took a sip before heading toward the door.

He was cursing inwardly, your boss is about to be sentenced, with 30 billion, how can he afford it?

This company is also about to go under, yet you still have the mood to work?

Thump thump thump.

This time, the knocking was a bit more urgent!

“What's the rush? F*ck!”

Karl cursed in English, venting his joy!

Click, click.

He twisted the door handle and lazily opened the office, immediately confronted by two deep blue uniforms.

Karl was startled and his eyes widened at the two figures in front of him, “You?”

“Karl, come with us, please.”

At the doorway stood a middle-aged man in a police uniform, his voice deep and bearing an authoritative aura, making Karl somewhat at a loss.

This man was none other than the veteran captain of the Criminal Police Brigade, Hu Daqiang.

“What?”

Karl uttered a simple and clear question, his expression both panicked and utterly puzzled.

Hu Daqiang had already grabbed Karl's arm.

Clink!

The shimmering handcuffs were already on his wrist, firm and tight. Karl instinctively tried to shake them off, but it was futile.

This wasn't a TV drama; the chances of escaping handcuffs were virtually zero.

“What! What! What!”

Karl issued three consecutive questions, his voice growing higher like overlapping waves!

By this time, a crowd had already gathered outside the office, curious onlookers.

Several other police officers stood nearby, blocking every escape route.

If Karl could look out the window, even if he thought of jumping, there were eager police comrades ready to catch him below.

In short, everything was well thought out!

At that moment, Hu Daqiang looked at Karl with a resounding voice, “Karl, you are suspected of fabricating evidence, framing others, illegally accessing other people's networks, engaging in espionage activities…”

Hu Daqiang listed a whole series of “suspicions,” and Karl immediately began to resist vehemently.

He shouted, “I need to contact the embassy!”

Hu Daqiang twisted Karl's arm behind his back, subdued him, and snorted, “First, you'll come with us!”
