Chapter 99: Wang Xin's Audacious Ambition

Under Lu Yu's direction, Chen Qiao rented an entire floor of a five-star hotel in the center of Mo Du as the venue for the celebration banquet.

The celebration banquet started at seven o'clock.

By ten o'clock, almost half of the people were drunk.

But the celebration banquet hadn't ended yet; Chen Qiao had also prepared a karaoke room for everyone.

Everyone then went upstairs to the KTV.

As the founder of Grand, Chen Qiao had drunk quite a bit and was already tipsy.

Chen Qiao also didn't try to show off; with colleagues' support, he returned to the room that had been prepared in advance.

The remaining people continued to revel.

Of course, there were also exceptions.

For example, Wang Xin of Technical Department Two.

Wang Xin hardly drank any alcohol tonight.

But because there were too many people and the scene was chaotic, no one noticed this.

Wang Xin also put on a tipsy act and left the private room.

But he didn't return to his room; instead, he left the hotel, got into a vehicle that had been prepared in advance, and went to Grand.

……

The plan is actually quite simple.

Wang Xin proposed the celebration suggestion.

With Legend's situation looking extremely promising, Chen Qiao had no reason to refuse.

Of course, Wang Xin wouldn't personally say this himself; instead, he incited the supervisor.

This actually isn't important either; what matters is that almost everyone went to celebrate, leaving only a few technical staff on duty at the company.

And these people are all Wang Xin's trusted aides.

In other words, tonight, right now… he, Wang Xin, is the person in charge of Grand.

Wang Xin's goal is naturally Legend.

He wants to steal all of Legend's source code and know all of its operating methods.

He also wants to… destroy Legend.

The game was indeed created by Lu Yu leading a team; even if Legend were destroyed, Lu Yu has the ability to remake it.

But this requires time, a not‑short period.

And during such a long period, what if another game appears?

Will Legend's players still wait for Legend?

Doing something like this is naturally dangerous.

But what does danger have to do with him, Wang Xin?

Once he succeeds tonight, tomorrow… he will already be abroad!

Yes!

This is naturally Mr. Qin's plan.

Pulling the rug out from under.

At the same time, it was also Mr. Qin's all‑or‑nothing gamble.

Mr. Qin originally didn't want to use such a method either.

But Legend's quality is too good, to the point that Sword and Distant Horizon isn't even in the same league.

This is no longer a gap that operations can bridge.

So, Wang Xin came.

……

Wang Xin had the on‑duty staff rest, then he himself began to act.

In such a large technical department, only Wang Xin remained.

Watching the progress bar on the computer, Wang Xin's smile grew larger and larger.

Sometimes, the simplest method is actually the most effective.

Who could have imagined that he, Wang Xin, would have such audacity?

How dare he come to Grand to do such a thing?

But he did come, so… it's foolproof!

Wang Xin felt his bright future beckoning him from ahead.

Beep beep beep!

Suddenly, footsteps sounded outside.

Wang Xin frowned slightly; he had just said that staying here alone was enough, so why was someone coming over?

Although he was dissatisfied inside, Wang Xin still hurried to the door, because he couldn't let anyone else in.

He opened the door, and then… he froze.

……

"Chen… Director Chen…" Wang Xin's eyes widened like bull's eyes, his mouth unable to close; in an instant he felt his three hun and seven po have left his body.

Why is Chen Qiao here!

And… Lu Yu!

"I never expected it to be you." After a brief silence, Lu Yu's voice sounded.

"Lu… Lu Yu, what are you… what are you saying?" Wang Xin's heart pounded wildly; he himself hadn't noticed that his voice had become hoarse and extremely unpleasant.

"I didn't expect you could still refuse to admit it; your cheek is really thick." Lu Yu's voice sounded again.

"You... what are you saying?" Wang Xin continued to feign ignorance.

"Take him away." Lu Yu had no intention of wasting words with Wang Xin, and simply stepped aside.

Immediately someone came up from behind and grabbed Wang Xin.

Wang Xin's face was full of terror, he wanted to struggle, but... there was simply no room to struggle.

He was dragged outside by two people.

Suddenly...

"How did you know? No! You couldn't possibly have detected my intentions beforehand."

"This is impossible!"

"No one would have thought of it, no one would have thought of it..."

Wang Xin suddenly began to howl like a madman.

But Lu Yu did not answer, merely standing there silently.

Wang Xin was taken away.

Finally, Grand fell silent again.

"Little Yu..." Chen Qiao couldn't help but look at Lu Yu and speak.

"Tonight there probably won't be any other accidents; let's all go back to sleep." Lu Yu nodded at Chen Qiao, then walked outside.

Chen Qiao watched Lu Yu's back, for a moment not knowing what to think.

Chen Qiao still remembered when he went to find Lu Yu yesterday.

At that time, he had just said someone wanted to hold a celebration party, and Lu Yu's expression changed.

Then...

Lu Yu then arranged everything for him tonight.

Lu Yu had Chen Qiao heavily promote the celebration party, but... he also required Chen Qiao not to get drunk, and even to leave midway.

At the time, Chen Qiao didn't know what was going on, and even now...

Chen Qiao also couldn't figure it out.

Why did Lu Yu know that someone would cause trouble at Grand tonight?

What's wrong with holding a celebration party?

Holding a celebration party is naturally fine, but the fact that this proposal came from the Technical Department Two makes it problematic.

Don't forget, in the entire production process of Legend, the Technical Department Two actually had little involvement.

What qualifications and face do they have to propose a celebration party?

Moreover, Lu Yu has made it clear up to now that he does not trust the Technical Department Two!

The conflict between the Technical Department Two personnel and Lu Yu remains strong.

So... right away, Lu Yu thought this might be a trap.

But at that time, he actually didn't expect Wang Xin to be this bold.

Or rather, he didn't expect Mr. Qin to be this ruthless.

But fortunately, Lu Yu still noticed in time and took precautions.

Also, another point to mention is that if Lu Yu weren't here tonight, Legend wouldn't be destroyed.

You should know, Lu Yu led the computer lab classmates in helping Professor Chen complete the firewall system!

The level of that firewall system can be said to be top-notch nationwide, even globally!

If Lu Yu didn't want the core stuff stolen, how could Wang Xin possibly manage it?

Unless Wang Xin sabotaged the physical equipment.

Of course, this hypothesis is now irrelevant.

Now...

What Lu Yu most wants to see is Wang Xin's confession.

He intends to use that to topple Mr. Qin!
