"I'd like to see who dares!"
The scene was in a complete mess. Some people were about to draw their guns and batons. The ambassador quickly stepped in front of Chi Wannian, spreading his arms to protect him. "What right do you have to illegally detain our citizens? Produce the complete official documents immediately, or we'll contact the International Court right away!"
The agent leader stepped forward and showed the pre - fabricated documents. At the top was a bold - printed arrest warrant, ruling Chi Wannian as an international spy. Chi Wannian frowned tightly and retorted, "The procedure is legal. If you're still not convinced, then let you see the witness! Bring him down!"
At the order, an agent directly brought out a man with a hood from the car. After removing the hood, a face they had never seen before was revealed. The agent pointed at the man and said, "He's a Dragon List killer we captured recently. He testified to us that Chi Wannian hired a killer to hurt people, illegally transferred our country's data, and carried out espionage activities. If you don't believe it, let him speak for himself!"
The man looked around the scene for a while before he found out who Chi Wannian was. He framed, "Yes, it's him. It was Chi Wannian who hired me to destroy the helicopter and transfer the control data! He's a spy!"
Afraid that saying one more word would expose his lie, the agent quickly covered the man's head again and had him taken back to the car. Then he shouted at Chi Wannian, "We have both the official documents and the witness. You must come with us right now!"
Saying that, he was about to step forward to pull Chi Wannian. But Chi Wannian wasn't fooled. "You say he's a killer, and he's a killer? You say I hired him, and I did? Where's the evidence? Anyone can just open their mouths and make up lies. I can also say that you're framing me. All this is just a setup to harm me!"
The ambassador said, "It's just one - sided words. The evidence is insufficient. We don't accept this kind of slander and harm. Our side firmly opposes your exercise of hegemony over our citizens. If you want to take our citizen away, you have to get through us first!"
The situation in LA was intense, and it was no better in Philadelphia.
Tang Hanxiao was so angry that he was hospitalized, but Lowell still didn't stop. He paid off the internal members of LC to spread rumors and shake people's confidence. He also spent a fortune to poach LC's internal R & D team. He didn't poach them for R & D. He just wanted to stop LC's work progress.
Alice said, "You're all from LC. I want you to testify from the inside. Stand up and accuse LC of infringement!"
In the LC building, Cen Shen was transferred to control the situation. He frowned and reported to Zhu Ning, "Miss, quite a few people from LC's original R & D team have been poached. The current internal and external situations are not good. When should we start to fight back?"
"Wait."
Wait? Wait for what?
Overnight, all the poachable people from LC had been poached. Alice had more and more witnesses in her hand. First, she bombarded Zhu Ning, saying that she bullied her subordinates at work. Then she said that all the patent terms in Zhu Ning's hands were illegal. She also said that the funds in Zhu Ning's hands had already run out. LC was now just an empty shell and was unable to maintain the customer funds, thus shaking its credibility.
Alice asked, "How about it? What's Zhu Ning's reaction?"
"She hasn't made any reaction!"
"Seems the fire isn't hot enough. Go and get some people to smash their building!"
In the afternoon, Lowell manipulated the patent alliance. Under the pretext of collecting debts, they rushed into the LC building with a group of people. "Where's Zhu Ning! Let her come out! When will you pay the patent fees you owe us! Pay back the money! Pay back the money!"
The receptionist reported in panic. The relevant department immediately got in touch and arrived at the first floor. Looking at the messy and damaged floor everywhere, they were heart - broken and angry. "Who allowed you to damage our company? Your terms of sky - high price hikes are simply illegal. Don't even think about extorting a single cent from us!"
"Not going to pay, right? Then we demand that you immediately stop using all our basic patents. If you don't comply, we have the right to directly apply to have your building mortgaged to us!"
"Robbery! This is just robbery!"
"Stop talking nonsense. Stop using our patents right now!"
A customer stepped forward and cried, "You can't stop! If you do, all the products we're producing will be illegal!"
"Yes. If you stop, we'll really be doomed. Please have mercy and spare LC."
No matter how rich LC was, it couldn't take care of all of them at once.
In the end, it would still be these small enterprises that would perish!
The representative of the patent alliance said, "Spare them? We're just targeting them! I'm putting it out here today. If LC still hasn't paid us the patent usage fees by tomorrow, we'll directly apply to the court for enforcement and take all the money in Zhu Ning's account!"
"Dream on!" Cen Shen gritted his teeth after hearing the report. "A bunch of hooligans. What right do they have to rob the miss's things!"
The young maid was extremely angry. "Calling them robbers is already giving them too much credit. Do they even deserve to covet the miss's assets?!"
The subordinate was very anxious. "Miss, they're pressing on step by step. When will we fight back?"
Zhu Ning leaned back in her chair, her eyes heavy. "Wait."
Wait.
Wait for what.
Alice strode forward. "Zhu Ning still hasn't taken action?"
"Yes. Zhu Ning is still standing still. There's no sign that she's going to take action."
"What on earth is she up to!"
Jam said, "Maybe she's run out of tricks, miss. Strike while the iron is hot!"
Alice snorted, her eyes full of ferocity. "It's time to be tougher on her. Since she's not afraid of being targeted on her own, then expand the scope. Doesn't she care about the Chinese people? Then let her care properly!"
That night, another bombshell was dropped. The Lowell family reported 3,000 Chinese foreign - trade enterprises in Country M for malicious competition to the USITC and demanded that the USITC initiate a case for investigation.
"These Chinese low - lives have made enough profit here. They're fat enough to be slaughtered. Now drain all their blood and divide up the meat. Doesn't Zhu Ning care about the Chinese people? Then I'd like to see how she'll react when all these Chinese people die right in front of her eyes!"
Soon, the people from the USITC took action. They kicked open the doors of the Chinese enterprises on the list, showed their IDs, and said, "You're suspected of maliciously infringing on others' patent safety. Now you're ordered to immediately stop all business operations and cooperate with the lawsuit. Otherwise, we'll enforce it!"
"When did we ever infringe on others' patents! You're framing us! I understand. You're using us as hostages to blackmail Miss Zhu! Don't even think about it!"
"Dare to insult and slander us. Come on, take them away!"
"Get out of the way! You beasts!"
"Slap!"
There were continuous sounds of smashing and scolding. One enterprise, two enterprises, three enterprises... Thousands of Chinese enterprises were involved. Many enterprise leaders and their families were forcibly detained and taken away for various reasons. Zhu Ning crumpled the newspaper and bit her lips hard.
"Wait!"
