Chapter 1655: Patent Stolen

Fast Chinese.

"Chairman, they are thieves; they stole our family's technology!"

"Chairman, I stake my life on this: no one would betray the company. Everyone has been drawing blueprints and running to the factory day and night, just thinking that one day when we succeed, we can make our families proud, but who would have thought..."

"Sob sob sob..."

Everyone was emotionally agitated upon entering. As they spoke, someone started crying, and soon, they were all crying together.

Originally, Sheng Hanyu still wanted to hold people accountable and investigate the mole among these people!

But now the plan has changed temporarily; he won't investigate for the time being. At the very least, he cannot investigate openly, as it would hurt a group of people who truly care about the company.

He listened quietly to everyone pouring out their grievances. That's right, everything they said was the truth.

These past two and a half years have not been easy for anyone. Not to mention how much money was invested, everyone's hard work cannot be in vain; the patent must be won back!

The meeting was noisy and didn't have much significance.

But Sheng Hanyu could be certain that there was no mole among the people at the meeting today; they were also in the dark.

Expressions can deceive, but eyes cannot.

These people were emotionally agitated, their gazes clear and open; there were no traitors among them!

Next, he went to the hospital to visit the head of the Environmental Protection R&D Group.

Although the head was not in life-threatening danger, they were left with very serious sequelae; half of their face was stiff, and they were constantly drooling.

Upon seeing the Chairman, the head was particularly agitated and almost rolled off the hospital bed.

Sheng Hanyu generally didn't waste words with his subordinates; if he could express a meaning in one word, he would absolutely never use two.

But today he said a lot, all of which were words of comfort.

The head could not be the mole. Before the Chairman could even ask, they provided a lot of information, swearing that they must ferret out the mole and must win back the research results!

After leaving the hospital, Sheng Hanyu went to the police station to personally bail out the people who had caused the disturbance. These people were just as agitated upon seeing the Chairman, all talking at once and expressing their own opinions, saying all sorts of things.

Although they said all sorts of things, there was no mole here either!

A noisy day passed. In the company, most of the lights were out, except for the light in the Chairman's office, which was still on.

Sheng Hanyu stood in front of the window, his brows tightly furrowed.

Since the founding of Dingsheng, he had encountered countless crises, big and small, but none had ever caused him such distress.

Such a major research achievement was stolen, yet not even a single trace could be found. Was he getting old?

Or was the opponent too powerful?

He felt a bit afraid.

He wasn't afraid of a powerful opponent; he was afraid that he was getting old.

The reflection in the glass showed a figure that was still as upright as ever. Although there were a few white hairs on his head, his medical reports from the last two years had all been healthy.

Why couldn't he even spot a mole?

Sheng Hanyu thought that perhaps after living a comfortable life for too long, one's edge and sharpness would diminish.

"Ring ring..."

The phone rang. He picked up his mobile phone; it was his wife calling.

After connecting, his wife asked with concern: "Hanyu, are you okay? Try to think about it less. If we can't find the mole, then we won't look for it. If Dingsheng can't go on, then we won't do it."

"Anyway, the money we've earned over these years is enough for our family to spend for several lifetimes even if we live extravagantly. Don't worry about worldly possessions; money is a bastard, if it's gone, it's gone..."

Sheng Hanyu smiled silently.

What kind of nonsense was this? She always had things to say that sounded like she was joking, but were actually very reasonable.

He asked gently: "How did you know the mole wasn't found?"

Shi Youxuan said: "It's so late, and you haven't called home. If it weren't for something very troublesome, you wouldn't forget."

"The most troublesome thing for the company right now is the patent project of the Environmental Protection R&D Group, and the first thing you would do is to ferret out the mole. Therefore, not calling means the mole hasn't been found!"

Sheng Hanyu:...

His wife's train of thought was unique, but her logic was very strong. She had guessed correctly.

"That's right, you guessed it exactly right. Not only was the mole not found, I didn't even find the slightest trace. Don't you think that's strange?"

Shi Youxuan: "If this matter was done by a person, it's strange. Conversely, if it wasn't done by a person, it's not strange. It can only be said that your investigation direction is wrong."

Sheng Hanyu: "Not done by a person? Could it be done by a ghost? Do you mean I should go hire some monks and Taoists to perform rituals at the company, and this matter will..."

"I know now, but is it possible?" His expression suddenly became serious, and he was suddenly enlightened.

Of course, his wife didn't mean the company was haunted; he was just joking.

The company's data would all be transmitted to computers. If the company's internal firewall was breached, all their secrets would be shared by hackers!

And a clever hacker could invade the other party's computer without them knowing, and there would be no prompt on the other party's computer.

It wouldn't be strange if this happened at someone else's company. Dingsheng's computers had firewalls personally built by Shi Ran, and there hadn't been any problems for years... but having no problems in the past didn't mean problems wouldn't appear in the future!

Shi Youxuan: "Anything is possible!"

Sheng Hanyu: "Where are you?"

Shi Youxuan: "Downstairs at the company."

The elevator opened, and Shi Youxuan walked in with a smile, carrying a thermal food jar, as if she were just delivering a late-night snack to her husband working overtime.

"Your stomach isn't good, drink some porridge first."

Sheng Hanyu was prepared to drink some, but his wife said something next that made him give up the idea.

"I made it."

"Forget it, I'm not hungry."

He took his hand off the thermal jar.

"What do you mean? You clearly wanted to eat just now, but suddenly you say you're not hungry. Are you discriminating against me?"

Shi Youxuan put her hands on her hips, glared with her large eyes, and said angrily.

Sheng Hanyu did not hold back either: "It's not that I'm discriminating against you, but put your hand on your heart and tell me, can you actually eat the food you make yourself?"

She did not need to put her hand on her heart to know that she could not eat it.

But she still opened the thermal container, ladled out a bowl of shredded chicken porridge, and set it in front of her husband: "Eat it, I didn't cook it."

The moment the thermal container was opened, Sheng Hanyu knew it wasn't cooked by his wife.

Thank goodness, thank goodness.

After eating the late-night snack, Sheng Hanyu said to his wife: "Can you check the computer? I don't want outsiders to know about this matter."

Shi Youxuan agreed to try, but she was not sure if she would succeed.

Although she was also an outstanding hacker, that was in the past.

Things update and change too quickly; if you slack off even a little, others will get ahead of you.

Shi Youxuan sat in front of the computer with her fingers flying, strings of code scrolling rapidly across the screen, while her husband stood behind her admiring her!

She was always so charming.

When she was young, she had the beauty of youth; now she is still beautiful, and has added the charm of time's accumulation!

The most correct thing he had ever done in his life was to take her hand.

An hour passed.

The code on the screen ended, and a normal page appeared.

Shi Youxuan turned her head and said: "There is no problem, but I still feel like there is a problem!"
