Meng Ruozhao's face instantly flushed bright red, and her heart seemed about to leap out of her chest.
How could this be possible?!
She shook her head violently, trying to shake off these absurd images.
It must be a dream!
Yes, it must be because of the excessive stress recently that she had such a shameless dream.
Moreover, it was bad enough to dream about something else.
But she actually dreamed about making a move on the "little brother" who was staying at her home.
He trusted her so much, yet she secretly lusted after his body!
Meng Ruozhao, are you still a human being?
She slapped her burning cheeks hard.
"Meng Ruozhao, wake up!"
Outside the door, Pei Jiangmu, pretending to have just gotten up, listened to the faint noises in the room.
Imagining the entangled and annoyed expression she might have at this moment, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
This game was getting more and more interesting.
To avoid embarrassing her if she came out and saw him, he prepared breakfast and left a note.
It said that he was going to school for classes, and then he left the house at the right time.
He had to give her some space.
And Qi Yu had been waiting in the car downstairs.
"Where's the surveillance?"
His voice showed no emotion as he asked.
Qi Yu immediately handed the tablet to him. On the screen were several surveillance videos displayed in split - screen.
"Mr. Pei, these are all the angles we could access."
"However, to protect the guests' privacy, there is no audio recording in all the surveillance cameras in the store."
Pei Jiangmu took the tablet and his cold fingertips swiped across the screen, quickly browsing through.
The footage showed that Meng Ruozhao and Yan Qiubai left the private room one after another. Yan Qiubai caught up with her, and the two tugged in the corridor.
Then Meng Ruozhao actively pulled Yan Qiubai into the elevator.
The key part was in the elevator.
Although there was no sound, the picture was brutally clear.
He saw Yan Qiubai forcefully corner Meng Ruozhao in the elevator and trap her with his body.
On that face that usually looked decent.
When facing Meng Ruozhao, there was undisguised anger and an almost ferocious sense of oppression.
The surveillance captured his lips moving, obviously saying extremely impolite words.
Because his eyes were like those of a man who wanted to devour the person in front of him alive.
What hurt Pei Jiangmu even more was Meng Ruozhao's reaction.
She tilted her head slightly and looked at Yan Qiubai.
Due to the angle, the camera clearly captured half of her side face.
There was no pettiness or argument on it, only a clear, undeniable panic and helplessness.
She even instinctively shrank her shoulders, which was a natural reaction when a person felt threatened.
Pei Jiangmu's gaze finally landed on Meng Ruozhao's wrist that was grabbed by Yan Qiubai.
No wonder there were red marks.
He could almost imagine how much force was used at that time!
"Bang!"
Pei Jiangmu suddenly slammed the tablet hard on the car's console.
The screen instantly cracked with cobweb - like traces!
The air in the car suddenly dropped to freezing point.
Qi Yu held his breath and didn't even dare to make a sound.
Pei Jiangmu's chest heaved violently, and there was a terrifying scarlet storm surging in the depths of his eyes.
It was a kind of furious rage that almost wanted to destroy everything.
He remembered Meng Ruozhao's "drinking to drown her sorrows" last night.
Remembered the unhealed wound on her wrist.
Remembered the fright and grievance she suffered...
Every moment was like hot oil poured on his anger.
Yan Qiubai! That dirty thing who had taken over someone else's place, how dare he?
After a long time, he slowly squeezed out a sentence through his teeth. His voice was as cold as if it had been quenched in ice.
"I remember that the largest technology company under the Yan family has been going all out recently to develop that service - type robot project combining AI and medical care, right?"
Qi Yu immediately replied.
"Yes, Mr. Pei. The project code name is 'Xinglin'. They have already invested a huge amount of funds and a large number of R & D forces."
"Currently, it has indeed entered the final crucial stage and has received extensive attention from all walks of life, but..."
He paused and added.
"I heard that they have encountered a bottleneck in the deep - learning module of the core program and the precise movement coordination."
"There is a key programming problem that has not been solved for a long time, which has led to the robot being unable to reach the preset precision and response ability."
"So they have been secretly looking for top - notch algorithm engineers recently, especially trying to contact that mysterious genius engineer 'TG', but it seems they have no clue."
"TG..."
Pei Jiangmu repeated this name, and the corner of his lips curled up in a cold and cruel arc.
But there was no trace of a smile in his eyes, only a blood - thirsty cold light.
"Of course they can't find him."
He tilted his head slightly and looked at the rapidly passing street scenery outside the window. His voice was light, but it carried the weight of deciding life and death.
"Immediately go and find out who the biggest competitor of the Yan family in this field is."
"Then, contact them and say that TG is willing to cooperate with them and unconditionally provide the solution to the core module that is holding back the 'Xinglin' project."
Qi Yu gasped sharply, his face full of disbelief. He even forgot about the hierarchy and blurted out.
"Mr. Pei? You... You know TG? How is this possible? TG has been missing for several years."
"And it is said that he has a very eccentric personality. He never shows up and never cooperates directly with any institution. He only takes a very small number of sky - high - priced bounties through the Internet."
"Last year, the eldest young master wanted to contact him, but it ended up in vain."
Pei Jiangmu slowly turned his head, and his deep, bottomless eyes looked at Qi Yu.
He showed no expression, but it made Qi Yu instantly shut up, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.
"Do as I say."
Pei Jiangmu only uttered these two words, leaving no room for doubt.
"Yes, Mr. Pei."
Qi Yu immediately lowered his head to accept the order and didn't dare to ask another question.
But there was a storm raging in his heart.
An incredible guess took shape in his mind, but he firmly suppressed it and didn't dare to think further.
After all, if Pei Jiangmu was the legendary TG, how could even the eldest young master of the Pei family not know?
And why would he refuse to work for the Pei family?
So it should just be that he knew TG.
Pei Jiangmu ignored his suspicious and uncertain gaze.
He looked out of the window again, with madness and coldness intertwined in his eyes.
Of course he knew TG.
Because he was TG.
At the age of sixteen, he became famous overnight in the international hacker competition with a revolutionary neural network optimization algorithm.
He was a mysterious figure who shocked the entire network security community but no one could trace his real identity.
The "Tide" underlying architecture concept anonymously published at the age of seventeen was still regarded as the standard by many top - level technology companies but could not be fully replicated.
After the age of eighteen, he hardly ever made a move.
The few orders he took occasionally were all sky - high - priced and extremely challenging problems.
And his whereabouts were even more of a mystery. He was respected as the "genius ghost" in the industry.
Since Yan Qiubai dared to touch the person he cherished most, he had to pay a painful price.
Didn't he value the "Xinglin" project?
Didn't he want to take a step further in the family and the company with it?
Then Pei Jiangmu would personally destroy his greatest hope.
He would also use the hands of his competitor to make him watch helplessly as the thing he had painstakingly built became a weapon for his opponent to crush him.
This would make him more miserable than being beaten up by Pei Jiangmu directly.
Pei Jiangmu slowly closed his eyes and leaned back on the seat, his fingers unconsciously rubbing the corner of his clothes.
Zhaozhao, don't be afraid.
I will make all those who have made you suffer pay a hundredfold.
