Arranged marriage, love blossoms; a fiercely devoted soldier dotes on her alone.

"Miss Mako, what do you mean by this?"

Seeing that Ishida Mako's face was so gloomy it seemed she wasn't joking, Lin Zijian asked with a dark expression.

They actually pulled out a dagger to scare me? I'm not someone who's easily frightened.

The Lin family is a top-tier wealthy family in Beijing, and Lin Zijian's ability to become the head of the Lin family is certainly not to be underestimated.

"Phew~~"

Mako Ishida took a few deep breaths to calm herself down, then pointed to the USB drive plugged into the computer and said, "Lin Zijian, the password you gave me can't open the data on the USB drive at all, and it even blacked out my computer screen."

Aren't you going to explain this to me?

Lin Zijian blinked and said, "How is that possible? Didn't you check the USB drive and it opened on the spot? After I left, you said it wouldn't open, but we've already settled the money and goods."

Mako Ishida, her face turning ashen with rage, exuded a murderous aura as she said, "Lin Zijian, so you're saying it's my fault? I spent hundreds of millions to get a USB drive that can't be opened. To be honest, I've already sold the three-nanometer chip technology and received 50% of the payment. Now that I can't deliver the goods as agreed, I have to compensate the other party three times the amount. You must compensate me for this loss."

At this moment, Lin Zijian had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem. He shrugged and said, "Of course this is your problem. We exchanged money for goods on the spot, and the transaction was settled immediately."

"What does it matter to me if you can't deliver the goods now?"

Mako Ishida stared intently at Lin Zijian with fiery eyes and said, "I exchanged hundreds of millions for a worthless USB drive. If you don't acknowledge it, then I have no choice but to kill you."

Lin Zijian was shocked by Ishida Mako's words. Seeing her resolute attitude, he turned pale and quickly said, "Ms. Mako, let's talk this out. There must be some misunderstanding. The data on the USB drive was copied from the master disk by me. There can't be any problem."

Mako Ishida sneered, "Lin Zijian, even now you still won't admit it? Don't you realize the seriousness of the consequences?"

"Lin Zijian, let me tell you the truth. If you want to live today, give me the data on the USB drive, and we can continue to cooperate as before and put an end to our past grievances."

"Conversely, this day next year will be the anniversary of your death."

"brush!"

Cold sweat instantly poured down Lin Zijian's face...

At this point, he really panicked.

He was shocked to discover that Uncle Lin hadn't followed him in.

Uncle Lin was his safety guarantee...

Lin Zijian finally understood that Ishida Mako had sent him here to lure him into a trap.

This is fucking seduction!

Lin Zijian cursed inwardly, "Damn it, lust is a double-edged sword. I was so focused on sleeping with that slut Ishida Mako that I didn't expect to fall for her trick."

"It seems the USB drive does have a problem."

"Then how could the USB drive possibly be faulty?"

"The data inside was copied from the master disk by myself and then placed in the safe in the study. It had triple protection measures, and the final verification password was only known to me."

No, I already gave the verification code to Uncle Lin!

Could it be that Uncle Lin did something behind the scenes?

That shouldn't be the case.

Uncle Lin has been with me for decades and is absolutely loyal.

Lin Zijian was completely baffled as to where the problem lay…

But being a seasoned veteran in the business world and a shrewd old fox, he immediately realized what was going on and said, "I really don't know much about the USB drive. I've been leaving it to Uncle Lin. I'll go get him and ask him what's going on."

As Lin Zijian spoke, he strode toward the door.

"Stop him!"

Mako Ishida shouted loudly.

"brush!"

A flash of cold light streaked past.

"Pfft!"

Then Mu Xiuzi grabbed the dagger on the coffee table, and with lightning speed, plunged it into Lin Zijian's thigh.

Mu Xiuzi's stab was very deep, suggesting she was settling a personal score.

"Oh……"

Lin Zijian immediately clutched his thigh and howled in pain...

Mu Xiuzi was truly ruthless. Perhaps she had been bullied by Lin Zijian all night, and besides the countless offspring he had left behind, her belly was also filled with resentment and hatred...

"thump!"

Lin Zijian collapsed onto the carpet, his body unable to support him. Blood gushed from his thigh, quickly staining a large area of ​​the carpet red.

Mako Ishida didn't expect Hideko Ki to stab Lin Zijian with a knife. If Lin Zijian were really killed, it would be a real problem. The key is that it's not time to kill Lin Zijian yet.

So she quickly said, "Mu Xiuzi, quickly bandage Lin Zijian's wounds, he can't die now."

Mu Xiuzi only wanted to vent her anger, but she was too excited and her hand trembled, causing her to stab too deeply. It looked like she had stabbed Lin Zijian's carotid artery.

Having received professional spy training, Mu Xiuzi was very skilled in battlefield first aid. She immediately took out a tourniquet from the first-aid kit and tightly tied it above Lin Zijian's thigh wound to prevent blood loss, and then bandaged the wound with gauze.

The entire bandaging process was performed with skill and fluidity.

This incident left Lin Zijian feeling listless and unsteady due to excessive blood loss, and he was quite frightened.

Lin Zijian is now really afraid that Ishida Mako will take the opportunity to kill him.

So she pleaded weakly, "Miss Mako, let's talk this out. Call Uncle Lin in, I want to ask him what's going on? The USB drive was working fine before, why isn't it working now?"

Mako Ishida's goal was not to kill Lin Zijian, but to obtain the three-nanometer chip technology data.

So Mako Ishida picked up her phone and called Uncle Lin, saying, "Come in for a moment."

Lin Zijian was quite surprised to see that Ishida Mako had directly called Uncle Lin's number and asked, "How did you get Uncle Lin's number?"

Ishida Mako ignored him and gestured for Ki Hideko to open the door.

As soon as Mu Xiuzi opened the door, Uncle Lin walked in and stood respectfully in the doorway, saying, "What are your orders, Miss Zhenzi?"

Lin Zijian angrily retorted, "Uncle Lin, didn't you see me?"

Uncle Lin's eyelids twitched slightly, and he said calmly, "I saw it."

Lin Zijian angrily rebuked, "You see this and aren't you coming over to help me up?"

Uncle Lin didn't move or say a word.

At this moment, Mako Ishida asked, "Uncle Lin, Lin Zijian said that you are in charge of managing the USB drive. Now the USB drive cannot be opened, the computer has crashed, and the technical data inside cannot be read or copied."

"What do you suggest we do?"

Uncle Lin lowered his gaze to his toes and said, "There's only one possibility: the USB drive has been tampered with."

Lin Zijian angrily retorted, "Lin Weihua, what the hell are you talking about? I put the USB drive in the safe myself. Only you were there and knew the triple password and verification code. If anyone was tampering with it, it was you."

At this point, Lin Zijian had already realized that something was wrong with Uncle Lin.

Uncle Lin looked up at Lin Zijian and said, "President Lin, it wasn't me who did it, but your son-in-law Xiao Zhan."

Lin Zijian asked in astonishment, "You're saying Xiao Zhan was behind it?"

"How...how is this possible?"

Uncle Lin nodded.

Lin Zijian continued, "How did Xiao Zhan enter my study and open the safe? Even if Xiao Zhan was able to open the safe and get the USB drive, he couldn't have opened it without the USB drive's password."

"Lin Weihua, you're talking complete nonsense. You're the one who did it, and now you're trying to shift the blame onto my son-in-law. I was blind to have kept you by my side."

Uncle Lin sneered, "Boss Lin, just ask Lin Ruoxi and you'll know what's going on."
