Rebirth of an Idle Noblewoman (1-200)

Chapter 177: Sweet Sweet Karma

“Look, our company firmly believes in personal freedom. I still have to consult the higher-ups of our company, get their opinion on the matter. If they agree to your request, then there’s nothing I could say to change the outcome. I hope you all understand that although we are lagging behind in scientific research, I will absolutely never allow you to trample over the fruits of our labor!”

Liu Guosheng’s voice was clear and his words reverberated loudly through the room. The way he spoke sounded like he was taking a last stand.

An interpreter translated his words into English for the United Nations personnel verbatim.

How dare this little Asian stand up to them!

Although none of them spoke Chinese, they were well aware of Liu Guosheng’s stance based purely on his tone when he spoke.

They stared at Liu Guosheng with their faces full of disbelief, especially the representative of the American engineering department. He had never met someone who refused to bow down to America in his life. Was something loose in his mind?

The Engineering representative’s face twisted out of rage. Fine, if negotiations didn’t work, then there’s no choice but to bring out the big guns. He was about to issue an ultimatum when someone whispered into his ear. “Perhaps they just need to find a way down from their position. Let’s use them to lure out the man behind Nine Heavens. They’re just a private establishment, are they not? No way they would dare cross the world’s strongest nation would they?”

It did make sense. And so, the representative’s tense expression loosened up a bit. He looked over to his Chinese counterpart and requested to hold a discussion with Nine Heavens’ legal representative.

Mu Zong and a bunch of his men were all busy researching about this when news finally arrived at their headquarters.

“Uncle Mu, Miss Gu left a software at my place yesterday. It’s pretty interesting. I can directly send a virus over to any IT network of whoever is trying to mess with us, no matter which corner of the Earth they are in.” Yu Ning chuckled. Out of curiosity, he had studied the virus that Gu Xiqiao left at his laboratory. It was a brand-new kind of virus that spreads rapidly wherever it is sent to, disabling whatever tricks their opponent had employed.

Although it was a dirty tactic through and through, it was still pretty cool. Ever since working at Nine Heavens, cases of hackers infiltrating the Chinese National Security Agency had pretty much ceased. Yu Ning rubbed his thumb around his fingers.

Mu Zong’s mouth twitched awkwardly upon hearing what Yu Ning said.

“Why are you guys so scared?”

How weird!

Luo Wenlang shook his head. “I’ve just caught wind that this situation might just evolve into an all out conflict. We must keep our cool. Just yesterday, Miss Gu helped me sort out our financial centres around the globe.”

It sounded to him like they were planning to expand beyond their country’s borders.

“They’re coming for us just because of the chip.” Mu Zong looked at Yu Ning.

“If that’s so then they still have to be able to understand what the hell’s going on within that component!” Yu Ning was surprisingly confident about this. If they wanted the chip, sure, they could have it! But, can they manage to comprehend how it functions? Suddenly, an idea popped up in Mu Zong’s mind. “Uncle Mu, gimme a moment!”

Yu Ning dashed back in front of his computer, into which he inserted the chip they were talking about. Then, after a few taps of his keyboard, he successfully implanted the virus into said chip.
