"I have contacted several media friends and asked them to help speak out, but... the effect is not very good."

"Those navy troops are too powerful. They are overwhelming. Our forces are not enough to deal with them."

Xu Ke also frowned.

They mobilized all the forces they could.

On WeChat Moments, Weibo, and even paid some marketing accounts to try to whitewash Qin Luo.

However, their efforts were soon drowned out by a flood of negative news.

Tang Yu picked up the red wine on the table, poured himself a full glass, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Don't worry too much. Qin Luo is as slippery as a loach. He might be thinking about how to fight back now!"

"But... those negative news..."

Yao Yanyan pointed at the phone screen, which was full of insults and slander against Qin Luo.

"Even if Qin Luo is fine, this reputation..."

Xu Ke also sighed.

"Yes, the current situation is worse than we imagined. Zhao Tianming, this old fox, is really ruthless."

Tang Yu sneered.

"Cruel? This is just the beginning. Just wait, Qin Luo's counterattack will be more cruel than his!"

She poured herself another glass of wine.

"I bet a box of Lafite that within three days, Qin Luo will be able to turn the tables!"

Yao Yanyan and Xu Ke looked at each other. Although they were still nervous, Tang Yu's confidence gave them a glimmer of hope.

They know Qin Luo too well. That guy has never been one to suffer losses.

"Then what should we do now?"

Yao Yanyan clutched her phone tightly, her knuckles turning white.

Tang Yu drank the remaining red wine in the glass, with a gleam in his eyes.

"Hold still and wait and see what happens."

"Since Zhao Tianming dares to mess with Qin Luo so blatantly, he must have something fishy going on. If we rush in now, it will be like hitting a rock with an egg. It is better to hold on first, and when the time is right, kill him with one strike!"

Yao Yanyan and Xu Ke looked at each other and saw a bit of helplessness in each other's eyes.

They understood this truth, but watching Qin Luo being slandered made them feel like their hearts were on fire.

"But... Qin Luo... can he hold on?"

Yao Yanyan's voice trembled and her eyes turned red again.

Tang Yu walked over and put his arm around Yao Yanyan's shoulders.

"Believe him! That guy is very tough! Besides, we are not doing nothing, right?"

She raised an eyebrow at Xu Ke.

Xu Ke nodded and took a deep breath.

"Yes, Yanyan, we have to trust Qin Luo."

Yao Yanyan sniffed, tears still welling up in her eyes, but she still nodded vigorously.

"Okay, I...I believe it."

Tang Yu patted her shoulder, with a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.

"Don't worry, Yanyan, we will definitely get back what Zhao Tianming owes Qin Luo with interest!"

……

Jiangcheng No. 1 Detention Center.

Qin Luo sat cross-legged on a hard bed, closing his eyes and meditating.

This shabby place doesn’t even have a cushion. Does that old guy Zhao Tianming want to hurt him to death?

However, with just this little trick, do you think you can trap Qin Luo?
It’s simply a fool’s errand!

"Xiao A, what is the old guy doing now?"

The mechanical voice of System A immediately sounded:
[Reporting to the host, Zhao Tianming is holding a press conference to announce that you stole the commercial secrets of Xingyao Group and embezzled public funds for personal extravagance. The evidence is irrefutable and public opinion is currently very unfavorable to you.]

"This old guy Zhao Tianming is really at his wit's end. He can only resort to these despicable tricks."

Qin Luo stretched out, and his joints crackled.

"Xiao A, did the old guy get the blueprints of Luoshen No. 1?"

[Report to the host, when Zhao Qiang arrested you and sealed off the laboratory, he secretly took the drawings you placed on the table and gave them to Zhao Tianming.]

"Heh, this old guy really can't wait to jump into the pit I dug."

There was a hint of cunning in Qin Luo's eyes.

"He took the bait?"

[Yes, host. As you expected, Zhao Tianming was completely fooled.]

[According to my analysis, Zhao Tianming is currently convinced of the authenticity of the blueprint. He is gathering the scientific research team of Xingyao Group to try to overcome the technical difficulties of "Luoshen No. 1".]

"Conquer? Just relying on those good-for-nothings like them?"

Qin Luo snorted disdainfully.

"My fake blueprint is enough to make them suffer a lot."

[Host, what are you going to do next? ]

Little A asked dutifully.

Qin Luo touched his chin, a gleam in his eyes.

"Since Zhao Tianming likes my 'Luo Shen No. 1' so much, let him study it carefully. However, it's not good to just let him study it. I need to give him some extra ingredients."

[Add ingredients? What does the host mean? ]

"That's what it means literally."

Qin Luo's eyes flashed fiercely and the corners of his mouth rose.

"Xiao A, make some minor changes to the blueprint of 'Luoshen No. 1' and add some 'seasoning' to it."

[Understood, host. Implanting the 'Lost Virus'...]

The cold electronic sound of System A remained unchanged, but the speed at which it executed commands was astonishingly fast.

"Lost? What kind of virus is this?"

Qin Luo became interested. The name sounded interesting.

[The 'Lost Virus' is a special logic bomb that lurks in the data of the blueprint and leads Zhao Tianming's team astray. ]

[The experiment will eventually run briefly, creating the illusion of success, and then completely fail, turning into a pile of scrap metal.]

"Great! This is a slow-acting poison that kills without leaving any blood!"

Qin Luo couldn't help but admire.

The things produced by this system are just different.

It's insidious and vicious enough, I like it!
"Let them be happy for a few days, and when they have burned all their money, I will give them a fatal blow!"

……

In the next few days, Zhao Tianming was in high spirits and walked with a breeze.

He wears a suit and tie every day and shuttles between various high-end cocktail parties and business banquets.

The media flash lights blinded him.

The microphone was handed to him one after another, and it was full of compliments.

His ears are almost callused by such terms as "business genius", "technological rising star" and "leader of the energy revolution".

Zhao Tianming even began to fantasize.

Once "Luoshen No. 1" is truly mass-produced, he will be able to multiply the market value of Xingyao Group several times.

By then, not to mention CATL, even Tesla will have to bow down before him!
All of this originated from the "Luoshen No. 1" drawings he stole from Qin Luo.

"Mr. Zhao is really a young and promising man. The launch of 'Luo Shen No. 1' has completely revolutionized the entire new energy battery industry!"

Zeng Fanbo, vice president of CATL, raised a glass of champagne and clinked glasses with Zhao Tianming.

Zhao Tianming was secretly happy, but pretended to be humble on the surface.

"No matter what, it's just good luck, good luck..."

He secretly glanced at his phone, which showed the latest stock price information of Xingyao Group.

Wow, it hits the daily limit again!

This feeling is even better than taking the Ten-Ingredient Tonic Pill!

"Regarding the cooperation between our two companies... do you think we can officially sign the contract?" Zeng Fanbo's face was filled with a flattering smile.

"Wouldn't it be great if we joined forces and monopolized the new battery market?"

Zhao Tianming pretended to be reserved, crossed his legs, and held a glass of red wine in his hand, shaking it gently.

"Mr. Zeng, it's not impossible to discuss cooperation. But the technology of my 'Luoshen No. 1' is unique, so the conditions for cooperation cannot be too low."

Zeng Fanbo forced a smile.

"Mr. Zhao, as long as the conditions are reasonable, we at CATL will definitely not hesitate!"

Zhao Tianming was secretly happy, but he remained expressionless.

"One price, Xingyao Group holds 60% of the shares."

Zeng Fanbo was stunned.

This appetite is too big!
But he still suppressed his anger and continued to deal with it.

"Mr. Zhao, isn't this ratio a bit high? Our CATL..."

"High? Mr. Zeng, this is a groundbreaking technology. Whoever controls the 'Luoshen No. 1' will have the final say in the future new energy battery market! If you think it's high, forget it. I believe there are many people who want to cooperate with me!"

Zhao Tianming interrupted him directly with an arrogant tone.

Zeng Fanbo gritted his teeth and finally agreed.

This is "Luoshen No. 1", a technology that is enough to subvert the entire industry!
Even if the Xingyao Group asked for a huge sum, he would have to accept it.

As long as it can catch this express train, CATL will be able to completely leave other competitors behind and become the absolute overlord in the new energy battery industry!
By then, what would a mere 60% controlling stake mean?
"Mr. Zhao is indeed young and promising, with a long-term vision! It is my honor to cooperate with you!"

Zhao Tianming smiled proudly.

"Mr. Zeng, you are too polite. Cooperation is a win-win situation!"

He raised his glass and clinked it lightly with Zeng Fanbo's.

"From now on, the new energy battery market will be ours!"

……

On the other side, Qin Luo was lying leisurely on the bed in the detention center.

"Xiao A, what stage are they at now?"

[Reporting to the host, Zhao Tianming's team has completed the assembly of 'Luoshen No. 1' and is currently conducting the final debugging. ]

"Oh? Looks like the fun is about to begin."

A cold light flashed in Qin Luo's eyes.

[Yes, host. According to my prediction, the 'Lost Virus' will break out in three days.]

Qin Luo raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth.

Three days is enough.

During these three days, he would let Zhao Tianming enjoy this stolen glory to the fullest.

Then, he personally dragged him from the clouds into hell.

"Xiao A, help me check Zhao Tianming's recent schedule."

[OK host, searching...]

[According to data analysis, three days later, Zhao Tianming will attend the Jiangcheng Business Elite Summit and announce the successful development of "Luoshen No. 1" in a high-profile manner.]

"Jiangcheng Business Elite Summit?"

Qin Luo opened his eyes, a gleam of light flashing in his eyes.

"This is a really good opportunity..."

……

Shining Star Group and CATL officially signed a cooperation agreement.

As the news came out, the share price of Xingyao Group soared again, and Zhao Tianming's net worth also rose.

Zhao Tianming felt like he was floating, really floating.

The first thing I do when I wake up every day is to check the stock price of Xingyao Group and watch the green numbers soaring.

He felt like he was walking on clouds, so light and floating that he could ascend to become an immortal at any time.

"Mr. Zhao, this is the latest issue of the financial magazine, please take a look."

Secretary Lisa twisted her slender waist and placed the magazine on Zhao Tianming's desk. She also deliberately bent down to reveal her snow-white chest.

Zhao Tianming waved his hand without even raising his eyelids.

"Leave it there."

Lisa stepped back tactfully, her hips swaying like willow branches in the wind.

It’s a pity that Zhao Tianming didn’t even raise his eyelids.

All he has in mind now is the upcoming press conference.

After the press conference, he became a leading figure in the new energy industry.

As for Lisa, she is just a toy that can be replaced at any time.

"Luoshen No. 1" is his real treasure and the key to the peak of wealth!
"Luoshen No. 1! Epoch-making technology! The future of new energy!"

Zhao Tianming muttered in a low voice.

"Zhao Tianming! A business genius! A hero who can turn the tide!"

Thinking of Qin Luo, that down-and-out guy, Zhao Tianming curled up a cruel smile.

"Qin Luo, Qin Luo, you are such a loser! What do you think your little bit of skills can change? In the end, isn't it just me who gets the advantage?"

……

Three days passed in a flash. The Jiangcheng Business Elite Summit was held as scheduled.

Zhao Tianming was wearing a high-end suit and his hair was combed meticulously.

With a confident smile on his face, he walked into the venue surrounded by the crowd.

Flash lights flashed wildly, and reporters surrounded him in an instant, with the microphones almost pointing at his face.

"Mr. Zhao, is the performance of 'Luoshen No. 1' really as miraculous as the rumors say?"

"Mr. Zhao, does the cooperation between Shining Star Group and CATL mean that the new energy battery industry will be reshuffled?"

"Mr. Zhao, how did you lead the Shining Star Group back to life in such a short period of time? Do you have any secrets to share?"

Zhao Tianming enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention.

He raised his hand slightly, signaling everyone to be quiet.

"Everyone, today I am very honored to announce to you that the 'Luoshen No. 1' battery technology independently developed by Xingyao Group has made a breakthrough!"

As soon as he finished speaking, thunderous applause broke out in the conference hall.

The smile on Zhao Tianming's lips became even brighter.

"'Luoshen No. 1' has higher energy density, longer service life, and safer performance. It will completely change the range anxiety of new energy vehicles and lead the new energy industry into a new era!"

He paused, leaving the question in suspense, then raised his voice.

"I can tell you responsibly that 'Luoshen No. 1' is the most advanced battery technology in the world! No doubt about it!"

There was warm applause again in the conference hall.

Some people even started to shout "Mr. Zhao is awesome!"

Zhao Tianming in front of the camera is dressed in a suit and looks very proud.

Yao Yanyan turned off the TV angrily, her chest heaving violently, her delicate face full of anger.

"This damn hypocrite! He stole Qin Luo's technology and is still showing off here!"

Tang Yu sat beside her and patted her shoulder gently.

“Yan Yan, don’t be angry, Qin Luo won’t let him have an easy time.”

Although she said this, she was not sure in her heart.

They have been running around these days, trying every possible way to contact Qin Luo, but there has been no news.

Xu Ke folded his arms, paced back and forth, and frowned.

"What on earth is Qin Luo doing? Is he really going to fail?"

Although she believed in Qin Luo's ability, Zhao Tianming came with great momentum this time and had the support of CATL behind him.

What kind of waves can Qin Luo make when he is alone in the detention center?
Chu Xiong sat on the sofa, not saying a word, just smoking silently.

The smoke obscured the expression on his face.

He was more anxious than anyone else. Qin Luo was his future son-in-law and his only hope.

If Qin Luo falls, all his plans will come to naught. (End of this chapter)
