Chapter 832: Obviously Targeting You
Before Ji Weitian could respond, Leng Jian’s face had already darkened.
Seeing this, Ji Weitian quickly explained, "It’s not what you think. He just guessed that you have a connection with Dr. CC and wants to investigate further. But you’re my friend, and Yaoyao’s godfather, doing so would definitely involve your privacy."
Qin Nanyu brought this matter up to her, not to achieve any goal through her, but out of respect, to seek her opinion.
She believed that if she showed even the slightest hint of not wanting him to continue investigating Leng Jian, Qin Nanyu would never pursue it further.
Hearing this, Leng Jian’s expression eased slightly.
"You haven’t finished speaking." He glanced at Ji Weitian’s conflicted expression, his long fingers brushing the edge of the coffee cup, and said faintly, "Because of his respect, you softened, and wanted to tell him about Lu Jing leading you to write the small programs, including your identity as Dr. CC?"
Ji Weitian: "..."
Having a friend who knows you too well can also be a terrifying thing.
She hadn’t said anything, but Leng Jian had already guessed it all.
Ji Weitian lowered her eyes and nodded slightly.
From the beginning, their experimental progress had always been leading, even though there was an accident with Qian Min midway that caused data leaks, it did not affect the laboratory’s progress at all. Objectively speaking, if Lu Jing hadn’t taken those small programs from her, perhaps by now, Qin Technology Group would still be leading by far.
She felt she had a responsibility in this matter.
Ji Weitian clenched her palm tightly, biting her lip gently, trying to explain, only to see Leng Jian chuckle wryly.
"Are you truly feeling guilty for your unintentional mistake and wanting to make amends, or is it because of Qin Nanyu? You came to me because you think the work of Dr. CC’s studio is not just your business, and once exposed it will inevitably involve me, is that right?"
Leng Jian, with a stern face, spoke each word clearly, "I do not agree!"
Ji Weitian: "..."
"Cindy, let’s not even talk about how much effect those small programs you designed for Re Group can have. Just the technology used in them was developed by you, on your own merits, with no relation to Qin Technology Group. Why should you feel guilty?"
"..."
Leng Jian took a deep breath, trying to calm himself, and continued, "Do you really feel responsible for this, or do you want to help Qin Nanyu? You know very well in your heart; if it were any other matter, I wouldn’t stop you, but this isn’t as simple as you think."
Ji Weitian: "I know..."
"You don’t know!" Leng Jian interrupted her, "Lu Jing is already starting to suspect your identity. Once you get involved in this, do you think you can still keep it hidden? I don’t believe you can’t see it; there’s an expert in Re Group, clearly targeting you."
Ji Weitian’s pupils slightly contracted, a dark light flashed through her eyes.
She indeed knew and also knew she couldn’t hide it from Leng Jian.
The small programs she wrote were only the first set of data announced by Re Group. The subsequent experimental data was optimized, improved, and even reorganized by someone using her small programs... there’s an expert behind this.
Lu Jing wasn’t wrong in saying that Re Group’s current position wasn’t achieved by opportunists like Zhao Zhao. The core strength of Re Group’s experimental team is definitely not to be underestimated.
"Weitian." Leng Jian changed the form of address, his gaze turning serious, "You should know how many people, both openly and secretly, are searching for Dr. CC. In the past, you were the unattainable flower on the cloud peak, and everyone allowed your transcendence because you treated everyone equally, with no bias. But once you get involved in commercial conflicts, your existence will make many feel like a thorn in their side."
