Super Island Tycoon

Chapter 361: Chapter 360: Bewitched

After receiving Jiang Cheng’s affirmative response, Yang Ming immediately instructed the several police officers by his side. Upon seeing their superior’s orders, these officers promptly subdued Luo Ancheng, whose whole body had gone limp.

At this moment, not only did Luo Ancheng feel like all the bones in his body had softened, but his limbs were also trembling, filled with a sense of fear. How could he not know why Jiang Cheng would bring the police to find him at this time?

However, he still harbored a trace of luck in his heart because he trusted the skills of the hacker who helped him, believing that Jiang Cheng and the others could not obtain the key evidence of his leaking company secrets.

Jiang Cheng smiled slightly, looking at the frightened Luo Ancheng, and said, ”The company’s annual salary for you seems to be about twice that of the same position in other companies, right? What, are you not satisfied?”

Because of his fear, at this moment, Jiang Cheng seemed terrifying in Luo Ancheng’s eyes.

After hearing Jiang Cheng’s words, he was stunned for a moment, then said, ”Satisfied, of course I’m satisfied. I don’t know what business you have with me, Chairman Jiang, and why you brought the police?” Zhang Manlin said with some anger, her tone icy: ”The company treats you so well, yet you leaked company secrets. Do you think you did the right thing? Do you think Apple Company will have the ability to compete with our company even if they stole the secrets?”

The atmosphere instantly cooled down, and those employees who were working heard Zhang Manlin’s words and immediately understood what had happened.

So, it was the supervisor of their department who leaked secrets to Apple Company!

In the eyes of these employees, Luo Ancheng was originally a good supervisor, quite amiable and honest. However, knowing a person by their appearance is not enough; they never expected such a seemingly good supervisor to do something like leaking company secrets.

This inevitably caused them to despise Luo Ancheng, and someone even spat into the trash can, looking at Luo Ancheng with intense disdain.

Feeling his face burning, Luo Ancheng was filled with deep regret; before committing that crime, he already understood the seriousness of leaking business secrets and knew that based on his situation, he would definitely be incarcerated for more than three years. However, he hadn’t given up and was still thinking about a solution.

”The company has been good to me; it’s my fault for being blinded by money for a moment. I’m sorry, Chairman Jiang, President You, I truly erred.” With his hands cuffed behind him, Luo Ancheng lowered his head and emotionally said, ”Chairman Jiang, I am willing to surrender all the illicit gains I obtained to the company, hoping to make up for some of the company’s losses. Can you forgive me, considering all I’ve done for the company?”

”No.” Before Zhang Manlin could speak, Jiang Cheng said firmly and resolutely, ”The value of the company secrets you leaked can’t be measured by money. These are epoch-making technologies. Do you think just paying money will settle everything? How laughable.”

Indeed, Jiang Cheng found Luo Ancheng’s words utterly ridiculous.

He wasn’t worried that Apple Company, after obtaining his company’s key technologies, would be able to retaliate. After all, fish remain fish. It was merely Luo Ancheng’s actions that repulsed him, and thus Luo Ancheng had to be punished accordingly.

Upon hearing Jiang Cheng’s firm tone, Luo Ancheng, feeling a bit unwilling, said, ”Chairman Jiang, I truly admit my mistake. I can act as a double agent and provide some useless misleading technology to Apple Company. I believe this can recover the company’s losses. What do you think?”

”No.” Jiang Cheng sneered, waved his hand, and then said to Yang Ming, ”Director Yang, handle this kind of criminal as you see fit. I have some things to attend to, so I’ll excuse myself first.”

After saying this, Jiang Cheng turned and left.

In the mobile department’s office area, the employees were so shocked that they could barely concentrate on their work, each eyeing Luo Ancheng with disdain and gossiping about the matter.

Luo Ancheng was already deeply disheartened, bowing his head. How did Jiang Cheng know he had leaked company secrets? He had no idea and couldn’t even bring himself to believe any of it.

How did he not know that his future and all his efforts in the first half of his life were completely ruined? Although the rewards he received in exchange for the technology were substantial, Apple Company had only paid him a small portion up front.

Because what he stole was such crucial technology, his sentence would certainly be severe, and the fine would be astronomical. When he got out of prison, he would be nearing old age.

With a criminal record, how could he possibly find a good job in the future? That was fundamentally impossible.

With a face ashen as death, Luo Ancheng was escorted out of the mobile department’s office area by two police officers and then placed into the police car, awaiting judgment.

Meanwhile, the employees in the mobile department were still unable to calm down. Upon seeing this situation, Zhang Manlin immediately rebuked them for a few moments.

They were already well aware of Zhang Manlin’s strictness, so at this moment, they sensibly shut their mouths.

Leaving the mobile department, Zhang Manlin went to Jiang Cheng’s office. There was still an unresolved matter, which was regarding the establishment of branch companies.

Although Jiang Cheng had roughly mentioned which branch companies would be established, he hadn’t spoken about future development. Zhang Manlin wanted to hear Jiang Cheng’s plans thoroughly, as this would be crucial for the future development of the company.

Especially regarding the field involved in one of the three branch companies, the biotechnology company, which Zhang Manlin found perplexing. Did the biotechnology company intend to sell the Qing Tengsu, which Jiang Cheng once proposed could cure cancer?

Cosmic Umbrella Technology Company, Chairman’s Office.

Jiang Cheng informed Zhang Manlin about some matters needing attention regarding the establishment of branch companies.

At this moment, Zhang Manlin also asked Jiang Cheng, ”Chairman Jiang, what kind of products will our branch company, Ark Biotechnology, produce in the future?”

She was truly curious about this.

Jiang Cheng said, ”Ark Biotechnology’s future products, the first one will not be the Genetic Evolution Potion. This will be released at an appropriate time. The first product I’m currently researching is intended to be named the Genetic Recovery Potion.”

Zhang Manlin felt somewhat surprised. Genetic Recovery Potion? What is that? Just like Xia Xiaowei and the others were puzzled when they first heard this name, she was filled with questions, not really understanding the specific effects of this potion.

The Genetic Recovery Potion can achieve limb regrowth, tissue reconstruction, and treat most genetic-level diseases known in medicine today. It’s an immensely important invention and will be the core product of our branch company, Ark Biotechnology,” Jiang Cheng explained to Zhang Manlin.
