Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Xing Jue is the person in power at Fanxing Group. If it becomes known that he is in a coma, it won’t be good for the entire Fanxing Group.

Of course, for those who want to take advantage of the chaos, the benefits are plenty.

Hu Shuo is now at his wit’s end, as the false news released earlier has been debunked.

If Xing Jue doesn’t wake up immediately and appear in front of the media to clarify, this matter could escalate.

"Who exactly leaked the information?"

"Only a handful of people know about this. The media knows it so well, maybe..."

The person did not continue, but everyone understood the implication.

"A traitor?"

Everyone looked at each other, tension in the air.

"It might not necessarily be someone here." Hu Shuo said, "The company’s higher-ups also know, so let’s not speculate. Just focus on your work for now."

Besides the company’s higher-ups, there are also the Xing Family members.

If someone really leaked the information, this scope isn’t small.

"But how do we deal with the media? The boss can’t go out currently."

Not clarifying is akin to admitting it, and then the whole group will be in trouble.

"I’ll think of something. Your top priority right now is to make sure the boss wakes up."

Hu Shuo himself wasn’t confident.

But as a leader, he couldn’t panic.

Others exchanged glances for a moment, "Yes."

Chuzheng couldn’t handle these things; she just needed to ensure Xing Jue was fine.

Hu Shuo took people to the company while Ruan Liang and others continued their research with the team.

By evening, the media outside had mostly dispersed, leaving only a few persistent ones remaining.

Chuzheng went online to check; Hu Shuo somehow got hold of a document saying that Xing Jue was cooperating with a confidential government project and couldn’t contact the outside world for now.

Please rest assured, Xing Jue is fine, and so is Fanxing Group.

Please do not spread rumors and panic, to avoid unnecessary disputes.

The unnecessary disputes naturally referred to those wanting to cause trouble during this time.

The media, of course, questioned this.

But that document from Hu Shuo was very effective.

It was issued officially and could be verified.

The media couldn’t prove the document was fake in the short term.

But this excuse can’t be used for long.

So the responsibility on Ruan Liang and his team’s shoulders was even heavier.

-

Night fell.

The Xing Family Estate was dead silent. Chuzheng sat by the window, gazing at the pitch-dark sky devoid of stars.

Hu Shuo rubbed his weary brows and came over, slightly surprised to see Chuzheng still there.

"Miss Chuzheng, it’s so late, why are you still up?"

"Is there a problem?"

"..."

Too surprising.

But Hu Shuo didn’t dare say anything; he was very tired, greeted Chuzheng, and quickly returned to his room to sleep.

Hu Shuo felt like he had only lain down for a few minutes before being jolted awake by an ear-piercing alarm.

Hu Shuo quickly got up and ran out.

As Hu Shuo went out, he saw a man run past Chuzheng, followed by the robotic bodyguards.

Hu Shuo: "..."

What’s going on here!?

The man was quickly caught. Hu Shuo glanced at him, not recognizing him.

They found a media credential on him; he was a reporter.

He probably wouldn’t give up and wanted to uncover some big news.

Hu Shuo irritably instructed the robot to call the police, enough for him to serve some time on iron rice bowl duty.

"Miss Chuzheng, why didn’t you stop him just now?" That person ran right past her, and she didn’t even reach out a hand.

"He’s a human."

"???

"Not my responsibility." I’m a person of principle!

"..."

Hu Shuo had no retort.

This wasn’t a bodyguard they hired; it was as if they hired an ancestor to serve.

A kind that can’t be offended!

Hu Shuo sighed, went back to continue sleeping; dawn was near, and if he didn’t rest, he’d drop dead from exhaustion.

But it seemed Hu Shuo was destined not to rest well today.

Just as Hu Shuo closed his eyes, Ruan Liang’s side sent over the latest information.

Hu Shuo got up again to meet Ruan Liang and the others.

"We’ve written a program, but due to the current state of the game, it can’t be directly intervened. So, Miss Chuzheng needs to enter the game again."

"We’ll implant it into Miss Chuzheng’s wristband program. In the game, it should randomly become an item. Miss Chuzheng just needs to find a way to give it to the boss."

Chuzheng was skeptical: "Will he wake up this way?"

Ruan Liang shook his head: "This is to collect the boss’s data. We still lack information about the boss within the game."

Chuzheng: "..."

Such trouble.

Not very eager to go.

Chuzheng: "What about after getting the information?"

Ruan Liang: "Then we can understand why the boss is like this and administer the right remedy to bring him out!"

Chuzheng: "..." It sounds good, but who knows if it can be realized?

"Miss Chuzheng, we’re counting on you." Ruan Liang and the others looked at her fervently.

Only she could get in now; others couldn’t.

They had no other way.

Chuzheng remained silent for a while, eventually tossing the wristband onto the table.

For all the time I’ve wasted!

For world peace!

For the Good Person Card!

I can do it!

I can endure it!

-

Ruan Liang soon returned the wristband to Chuzheng.

"The program has been implanted; once in the game, it should appear directly on Miss Chuzheng."

"I still have to find out what it is?"

"Uh... yes." Ruan Liang was a bit embarrassed.

"???"

How unreliable?

I’m not going then!

Ruan Liang was also helpless; this was not his fault. The game was currently in a closed state, restricting them greatly.

Chuzheng’s wristband was the only breakthrough.

He wasn’t even sure if the program could eventually run...

Of course, he couldn’t say this.

After all, this person seemed very inclined to quit the project.

If she knew this, would she still enter?

"How will I differentiate what it is?"

"Once you pass the item to the boss, you should be able to see a data collection progress bar."

Chuzheng seized on the key: "Should?"

Ruan Liang: "..."

Ruan Liang forced a friendly smile.

Chuzheng pounded the table: "Increase the price!"

Ruan Liang, thinking Chuzheng only wanted money, directly agreed on behalf of Hu Shuo: "No problem, Miss Chuzheng, as long as you help, these are not issues."

Hu Shuo: "..."

No problem, my foot!

Who told you to agree!

Ruan Liang realized Hu Shuo glared at him right after he agreed, dumbfounded.

What, did he say something wrong?

This is the boss we’re talking about?

The group can afford this little money.

Hu Shuo didn’t want to speak, just wanted silence.

Last time she raised the price, it was Professor Su’s help.

Where could he get that thing this time?

Hu Shuo took a deep breath: "Rest assured, Miss Chuzheng, I’ll prepare it for you."

The boss is important, the boss is important, the boss is important, I can find a way, I can, I can, I can...

Chuzheng: "Hope I can see it when I return."

Hu Shuo was on the verge of tears, I’ll try my best.

Chuzheng put on the wristband and went straight into the game cabin.
