You're dumping me, huh? Fine, then I'll just pick up the school beauty and make her my wif

"I noticed you had a lot of documents on your desk, some of them seemed to be related to the company. Shouldn't you take these books home to study?"

Jiang Che shook his head: "No need, I deliberately left it in the dorm. It's all homework my dad assigned me, and I get annoyed just looking at it."

"Oh, I see. Then you should be careful to keep it safe," Lu Ziang said with concern. "People come and go in the dormitory, so don't leave important things lying around."

This sounds like just a friendly reminder from an ordinary roommate.

But after Lu Ziang finished speaking, he stared intently into Jiang Che's eyes.

He's gambling.

I'm betting Jiang Che can glean something from those words.

If Jiang Che discovered that the USB drive had been hacked, then this statement would be tantamount to implying that he was aware of the situation, but that he had no malicious intent.

If Jiang Che hadn't noticed, then this sentence would have been just an insignificant piece of advice.

When Jiang Che heard this, he glanced at Lu Ziang out of the corner of his eye.

Lu Ziang's expression was natural, and his eyes were clear, as if it were just a casual remark.

Jiang Che sneered inwardly. This kid's quite the actor.

In fact, as early as the day Lu Ziang cracked the USB drive, Jiang Che had already asked Liu Anping to track down and locate the email address that received the file.

Although the registration information for that email address was disguised, Liu Anping uncovered all the clues behind it in less than three days.

The email account belongs to the national security system and is used by Liu Zhenguo's secretary.

Now that they've investigated this far, Lu Ziang's identity is practically transparent.

He wasn't Liu Wei's man, but Liu Zhenguo's.

Jiang Che knew perfectly well that Liu Zhenguo's decision to send someone to infiltrate his side at this critical juncture was definitely not to help Liu Wei deal with him.

It was mostly used to protect him secretly.

After all, Jiang Che knew very well what kind of person Liu Zhenguo was; he was definitely not the kind of foolish father who would protect his son from acting recklessly.

After understanding this relationship, Jiang Che felt more confident.

The reason he hadn't confronted Lu Ziang wasn't because he hadn't discovered it, but because he wanted to see what Lu Ziang would do next.

It seems that Lu Ziang is more impatient than he imagined.

It's only been a few days, and they couldn't resist coming to test the waters.

Jiang Che collected his thoughts, then smiled and said, "Thanks, Lao Lu, but I don't usually look at paper things much. As for USB drives, I usually store important things on electronic devices, so there's nothing to leak."

It was just a casual remark, but after hearing it, Lu Ziang's expression froze almost imperceptibly.

Store it on electronic devices.

There's nothing to reveal.

A very complex analysis immediately began in Lu Ziang's mind.

Jiang Che denied that the USB drive contained important information and even implied that he was not worried about leaks at all.

What does this mean?

Is this telling him that the contents of the USB drive are fake, and that he already knew someone would take it?

Or is it simply an explanation of one's own habits, without any hidden meaning?

Lu Ziang's forehead was covered in an extra layer of sweat.

He was under a lot of psychological pressure at the moment. He was unsure whether he had been seen through or was just overthinking things.

"That's true," Lu Ziang could only follow Jiang Che's lead and try to make his tone sound natural. "Now everyone uses cloud storage and stuff like that. USB drives are indeed not very safe."

Su Qinghe, who was running nearby, listened to the two of them doing Tai Chi in a roundabout way.

At first, I could easily keep my composure, but the more I listened, the more I wanted to laugh.

Especially seeing Jiang Che maintaining a serious face and spouting nonsense, Su Qinghe was almost internally injured from holding back her laughter.

After all, the USB drive was bait that she and Jiang Che prepared together, deliberately hidden in the dormitory to lure Lu Ziang into a trap.

Now that Lu Ziang has brought up the USB drive, Jiang Che is giving this lukewarm response.

Su Qinghe understood without much thought that Jiang Che was pretending to be stupid.

So she pretended not to hear anything and continued running her lap while maintaining her breathing rhythm.

Seeing Jiang Che's unyielding attitude, Lu Ziang felt even more uncertain.

He tentatively changed the subject: "By the way, Lao Jiang, didn't you say you were paying attention to some financial matters? How did it go?"

Jiang Che turned to look at him, his expression somewhat confused: "What financial matters? You mean those reports my dad made me look at?"

"Uh, yes."

"I stopped looking at it a long time ago. My dad just told me to take a look and get a feel for it. Those dense data gave me a headache, so I never really looked into it."

Lu Ziang's lips twitched.

Just browsing.

We won't investigate further.

The file that he went through so much trouble to crack, and Liu Zhenguo even organized a team to do a round of analysis, but Jiang Che just "casually glanced at it"?

Lu Ziang was now genuinely unsure whether Jiang Che was faking it or not.

If it's an act, then the acting is just too good.

If it's true, then my attempt to probe indirectly was completely futile.

For the first time, Lu Ziang experienced what it meant to be at a loss.

This roommate seems lazy and unpretentious, but he can easily deflect any topic you bring up, leaving you with no basis for judgment.

He was either genuinely unaware of the situation, or he knew perfectly well and was deliberately making a fool of himself.

Lu Ziang knew that Liu Zhenguo had warned him that Jiang Che was not simple, but when they actually faced each other head-on, he realized what it meant to be completely unpredictable.

"Old Lu, you seem quite concerned about what I've been up to lately?" Jiang Che suddenly turned his head, his gaze falling on Lu Zi'ang's face.

Lu Ziang's heart jumped into his throat.

He then gave an awkward laugh: "I'm just concerned about you. I'm asking about your situation so I can tell Lao Xu about your recent progress later."

"That's true," Jiang Che smiled and looked away. "I'll talk to Xu Wenbin later and tell him to stop thinking about me and focus on pursuing his Lin tide."

Seeing that Jiang Che was no longer making things difficult for him, Lu Ziang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

When Jiang Che's gaze fell on him just now, Lu Ziang felt as if he had been completely seen through.

He was shocked. Could such a sense of oppression and burning intensity really be directed at an eighteen-year-old?

No wonder he's the heir of the Jiang Sheng Group.

It is indeed terrifying.

After their chat ended, Jiang Che and Su Qinghe quickened their pace slightly, and Lu Ziang also sped up to catch up.

After the three crossed the finish line, Su Qinghe bent over, supporting herself on her knees, panting heavily.

Jiang Che glanced at the stopwatch: three minutes and thirty-five seconds.

Not bad, a lot of improvement from yesterday, but still a long way from Su Qinghe's goal of three minutes and twenty seconds.

Lu Ziang adjusted his breathing, his gaze sweeping back and forth between the stopwatch in Jiang Che's hand and Su Qinghe.

"Old Jiang, your wife's speed is already quite good," Lu Ziang said, wiping his face with a towel. "I know quite a few girls who can run 800 meters in more than five minutes."
