Chapter 003 Eavesdropping Storm
Lin Fuzhang introduced with a smile: “Xia Qing, let me introduce you, this is our group’s distinguished guest, Mr. Su Rui.”
“Hello, Mr. Su.” Xia Qing leaned forward slightly and extended her flawless white hand, which Su Rui took in his.
When Su Rui held Xia Qing’s hand, which was as smooth and delicate as milk cream, he almost blurted out: “This feels amazing!”
“Mr. Su Rui, this is our group’s chairman’s assistant, Xia Qing. If you have any problems with work or life in the future, feel free to ask her for help.”
“I will definitely trouble her often,” Su Rui spoke his true thoughts. He wouldn’t be polite – it would be a waste not to find ways to “trouble” such a beautiful woman.
“It’s no trouble at all, please feel free to ask for my help.” Xia Qing’s face was still flushed. When this man shook hands with her earlier, while Lin Fuzhang wasn’t paying attention, he had tickled her palm with his finger, making Xia Qing feel ticklish and forcing her to hold back her laughter.
“This girl is really nice, hot figure but blushes easily, just my type.” Su Rui smiled, somewhat reluctantly letting go of Xia Qing’s hand.
“Xia Qing, go call the CEO,” Lin Fuzhang said.
“Right away.”
Su Rui watched Xia Qing’s graceful figure walk away, discreetly withdrawing his gaze before turning to say: “This Xia Qing is so young yet already a chairman’s assistant. She has a bright future ahead.”
“She’s a top graduate from Capital University who also studied at Yale. She’s very capable,” Lin Fuzhang said. “Mr. Su, in a moment I’ll introduce you to my daughter, Lin Aoxue.”
“I know about her. If it weren’t for that damn paper she published, I wouldn’t have had to get involved in this mess,” Su Rui said bluntly. That ice beauty might be pretty enough, but there was already too much bad blood between them.
“Hehe.” Lin Fuzhang could only respond with an awkward laugh to Su Rui’s comment.
Sure enough, when the cold-faced Lin Aoxue walked in and saw Su Rui sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, her beautiful eyebrows immediately furrowed: “Who let you in? Get out now!”
“CEO Lin, do we have to be so unfriendly when we meet?” Su Rui said with a smile. This Lin Aoxue had both looks and figure, truly deserving of being called Ninghai’s number one business beauty.
“Aoxue, Mr. Su Rui is our group’s honored guest! Don’t be disrespectful!” Seeing his daughter being so impolite, Lin Fuzhang immediately spoke up. If his daughter offended this hard-won VIP, that would be a huge problem!
“Hmph, he’s just a scoundrel! What do you mean by inviting a scoundrel as an honored guest?” Lin Aoxue said angrily. Every time she saw the smile on this guy’s face, she felt like going crazy.
Su Rui laughed to himself. This woman was truly cold, speaking so disrespectfully to her father at the company.
“Aoxue, what’s wrong with you today?” Lin Fuzhang’s face immediately darkened.
“Today at the airport exit…”
Just as Lin Aoxue was about to say something, Su Rui immediately cut in: “Today at the airport exit, I happened to meet CEO Lin and wanted to make friends with her on the way, but CEO Lin rejected me.”
Su Rui shrugged, appearing very helpless.
Hearing this, Lin Fuzhang immediately understood. He knew his daughter’s personality best – always cold, especially frigid when approached by men. If there was a conflict with someone, it must be her fault!
“Aoxue, don’t be rude. Mr. Su Rui was specially invited from abroad to help our group solve problems!” Lin Fuzhang said, “You must fully cooperate!”
“Help our group solve problems?” Lin Aoxue sneered. “Our group’s business is booming. Once the new process for Tricloramlin goes into mass production, we will become one of the most renowned pharmaceutical companies in all of China and even the world. What problems could our group possibly have?”
Lin Fuzhang was exasperated. His arrogant daughter didn’t even realize she was in danger!
Su Rui spoke slowly: “Business is like warfare. Don’t expect capital and scientific research to solve everything. If it weren’t for your Tricloramlin, Bikang wouldn’t be facing such huge risks, and I wouldn’t have come back from abroad to help.”
“What do you mean?” Lin Aoxue’s expression grew colder. The successful development of the new synthesis method for Tricloramlin was her proudest achievement. What did this guy mean by saying it was full of risks?
“You really won’t believe it until you see it. Since you don’t believe me, let me prove it to you.”
Su Rui stood up and reached directly toward Lin Aoxue’s chest!
“You pervert! What are you doing?” Lin Aoxue quickly covered her chest and stepped back!
“Don’t make a fuss. I’m just borrowing a button from you.”
As he spoke, Su Rui’s right hand flashed out and back, and the next second he opened his palm to reveal a button!
It was the first button from Lin Aoxue’s business suit! Somehow Su Rui had removed it!
With one button’s restraint gone, Lin Aoxue’s snow-white cleavage was partially revealed, showing a glimpse of the deep valley that seemed to draw in one’s gaze!
“What are you doing? I’ll call the police if you continue!” Lin Aoxue hadn’t realized her wardrobe malfunction, her face growing even colder.
Lin Fuzhang hadn’t caught Su Rui’s movement either, but he didn’t comment, as Su Rui was still shrouded in mystery to him.
Su Rui pinched the delicate button between two fingers, splitting it in half to reveal a tiny electronic device!
“What is this?” Lin Fuzhang exclaimed!
“Just a miniature listening device, nothing to be alarmed about,” Su Rui said. “Hiding bugs in buttons is a common tactic used by competitors.”
“How could I have a listening device on me? Who put it there?” Clearly Lin Aoxue was also shocked by Su Rui’s actions! She didn’t know how long the bug had been on her, but it was possible that all her conversations had been monitored for some time!
Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out on Lin Aoxue’s forehead!
Su Rui flicked his finger, and the tiny bug flew in a perfect arc, landing precisely in the glass cup on the tea table!
“Don’t worry, this type of bug becomes ineffective once submerged in water. The urgent matter now is to find out who planted these bugs on you.”
Lin Fuzhang came to his senses and immediately said solemnly: “Mr. Su, if you hadn’t come, my daughter and I would have been in danger without knowing it. Lin Aoxue, quickly apologize to Mr. Su! Apologize for your rudeness earlier!”
“Hmph!” Lin Aoxue snorted coldly. Even though she now knew Su Rui possessed extraordinary skills, how could she possibly apologize to a scoundrel who had called her “hormonally imbalanced”?
“The apology can wait. There are more important matters at hand.” At this point, Su Rui opened his silver briefcase!
When the case opened, Lin Aoxue gasped in shock, because what met her eyes was a silver Desert Eagle!
Next to the silver Desert Eagle was a gleaming flick knife! Just looking at it made one’s pupils contract involuntarily!
This was just the first layer of the case. Opening the second layer revealed some instruments that neither Lin Aoxue nor Lin Fuzhang could identify. They had no idea how Su Rui had managed to bring these items onto the plane! If discovered, he could have been shot on the spot!
Thinking about how she had earlier poured cold water on this armed man’s head, Lin Aoxue felt a bit scared in retrospect.
As if seeing through their confusion, Su Rui explained: “My briefcase is made of special density material that can block X-ray penetration, so airport security scanners can’t detect what’s inside.”
“What a master!” Looking at Su Rui, Lin Fuzhang became even more certain that he had made the right choice! This man would definitely help Bikang Group overcome its difficulties!
Su Rui took out a disc-like black device, and when he pressed a switch, the entire disc lit up like a screen with several red dots flashing on it!
“Do you see this?” Su Rui brought the screen close to the father and daughter, lowering his voice to explain: “Seven red dots, meaning there are seven bugs in this room!”
“What?”
Lin Fuzhang could hardly believe it! He never imagined that his office had been bugged, and with seven devices no less!
Lin Aoxue was also too shocked to speak, her beautiful face growing even colder!
Following the device’s guidance, Su Rui quickly found seven bugs from the desk, sofa, lamp, and other places!
Looking at the small pile of devices, Lin Aoxue said coldly: “I must find out who did this!”
Su Rui remained silent, placing the pile of bugs on top of the metal safe. Then he took out the Desert Eagle and used its handle to smash each bug to pieces!
“Ah!”
Meanwhile, in a somewhat dark office elsewhere, an effeminate-looking man threw off his headphones and covered his ears in pain!
Obviously, Su Rui’s violent destruction of the bugs had transmitted through the headphones, injuring his ears!
“Mr. Su, thank you so much. Without you, our every move would have been under surveillance!” Lin Fuzhang excitedly shook Su Rui’s hand. Clearly, this young man’s actions had thoroughly impressed him!
“Director Lin, you can just call me Su Rui. Being called Mr. Su all the time feels strange,” Su Rui said modestly, though Lin Aoxue saw this modesty as complete hypocrisy.
“Alright then, I’m a bit older, so I’ll call you Brother Su. If you don’t mind, you can call me Brother Lin!” Lin Fuzhang laughed.
Su Rui pursed his lips, thinking to himself: “A bit older? You’re several decades older!”
However, looking at Lin Aoxue’s graceful figure, Su Rui’s eyes gleamed as he said: “Brother Lin, since I’m calling you that, does that mean your daughter Aoxue should be considered my niece?”
