"Mr. Ling is too polite!" Xu Xinxiong smiled and nodded at Ling Yun." I wonder when Mr. Ling will let me see that portable hard drive?”
" This…Hehe, I'm sorry, I didn't bring that hard drive with me. Mr. Xu, look at this…" Ling Yun smiled innocently as he apologized.
"It's okay, I can wait!" Xu Xinxiong said unhurriedly.
"Is Mr. Xu not afraid that I'll peek at the contents inside or make a copy of it?”Ling Yun asked.
"I already said that everything inside is encrypted. Without a password, no one could open it. Moreover, this portable hard drive was very special. It could only be read and not written, so it was impossible for Mr. Ling to copy it. However, just in case, I'll limit Mr. Ling and I to three hours. I hope Mr. Ling can show me the hard drive within three hours. If I still don't see the hard drive after three hours…Mr. Ling, we've hit it off the first time we met. To be honest, I really don't want anything unpleasant to happen between us!”Xu Xinxiong's words were soft yet firm, but Ling Yun couldn't get angry.
Three hours?
Alright then!
"Alright, I'll give Mr. Xu three hours. Ling Yun promised to let Mr. Xu see the hard drive within three hours. However, he couldn't let Mr. Xu take the hard drive back. Ling Yun had to destroy it!”
"No problem. We'll do as Mr. Ling says!”
The external hard drive was in Ling Yun's presidential suite.
Ling Yun had almost forgotten about it when he put it down casually. Speaking of which, if Xu Xinxiong hadn't come, Ling Yun might have destroyed it if he discovered that the thing inside couldn't be operated.
However, Xu Xinxiong's arrival made Ling Yun realize that there was a huge secret hidden in the portable hard drive. As such, Ling Yun wouldn't destroy the hard drive before his curiosity was satisfied.
When Ling Yun opened the door, Xie Xiaoyu immediately greeted him. Ling Yun, you're back. Are you alright? He didn't do anything to you, did he?"
"He can't do anything to me. Quick, turn on the computer in the living room.”Ling Yun kissed Xie Xiaoyu.
Very quickly, Ling Yun found the hard drive that he had casually thrown on the sofa.
Ling Yun looked at the hard drive carefully. Hehe, something worth more than 100 million USD! What was so shameful inside?
Xie Xiaoyu quickly turned on the computer in the living room. Ling Yun took a look at the computer and unplugged the network cable before connecting the external hard drive to the computer.
Sure enough, just as Xu Xinxiong said, after entering the hard drive, no matter which folder he opened, a " Please enter the password " prompt would pop up.
It seemed like there was nothing he could do.
At this moment, Xie Xiaoyu suddenly exclaimed,"Ah!"
"Xiaoyu?" Ling Yun turned around." What's wrong?”
Xie Xiaoyu's eyes widened as she pointed at the display screen, clearly shocked,"This is…Blackhawk! This is Black Eagle…"
"What Black Eagle?" Ling Yun didn't understand.
" That's it, look-" Xie Xiaoyu pointed at the display screen.
Following the direction that Xie Xiaoyu was pointing at, Ling Yun saw a folder named "Blackhawk".
"Blackhawk, what's wrong? Was there something wrong? Xiaoyu?" Ling Yun asked gently as he double-clicked the folder. Similarly, a dialog box with the words " Please enter the password " popped up.
Xie Xiaoyu's tears flowed down," Mummy said that before daddy died, he kept saying one sentence…it was…it was-'Black Eagle'! And now, whenever Mom mentions the word 'Black Eagle', she will be greatly agitated. I think Dad's death must have a lot to do with' Black Eagle'!”
Ling Yun's heart sank. In that case, Xie Xiaoyu's father's death was very suspicious.
"Tell me in detail. What exactly happened?”Ling Yun held onto Xie Xiaoyu's shoulders as he looked into her eyes.
Under Ling Yun's gaze, Xie Xiaoyu also calmed down. She sat gently in Ling Yun's embrace and said slowly,
"Dad's original company is called White Swan. There was once when he overheard his parents talking about how Black Eagle was coming and the company might not be able to survive. At that time, his father seemed very worried.
Now that she thought about it, it was indeed strange. Her father was not a person who would take things too hard. She heard from her mother that the company had encountered a bigger survival crisis, but her father had survived it. I once heard my father say half-jokingly," Even if the company collapsed, they could just start from scratch and open a new one. Besides, the company had not collapsed this time. Why would his father suddenly commit suicide? Now that Black Eagle has appeared on this disk, it's very likely…"
It was highly possible that Xie Xiaoyu's father had committed suicide! Ling Yun thought to himself. A father who loved his daughter dearly, no matter how serious the matter was, would not commit suicide on the eve of his daughter's college entrance examination? There might be something fishy going on.
Just this folder alone was related to the survival of a company and a life. Then how many secrets were hidden under the other folder on this hard drive? No wonder Xu Xinxiong wanted to destroy it regardless of the cost!
Now, it seemed that not only could he not return this hard drive to Xu Xinxiong, but he also could not destroy it. He even had to find a way to find its password and see what was hidden inside!
However, Ling Yun knew that he would be standing on the opposite side of Xu Xinxiong. Even though he was now opposing Xu Xinxiong, it would be strange if he didn't oppose Xu Xinxiong after crippling his son!
But at least he was still maintaining a superficial harmony with Xu Xinxiong, not to the point of falling out with him. If he really wanted to turn hostile, with Xu Xinxiong's courage and tenacity, he would definitely mobilize all the power he could use to launch a concentrated and continuous attack on him until he surrendered or even died.
Ling Yun wasn't afraid of it, but what about Xie Xiaoyu? Ling Yun's family and friends might not be in the city, but with the despicable nature of the Datong Corporation, it was hard to guarantee that Xu Xinxiong wouldn't take action against them!
Damn it, no matter how strong an individual was, it was useless without a powerful force! Ling Yun cursed.
The question now was, what should he do?
Ling Yun's eyes turned. He had no choice but to ask Young Master Xu for help.
