Chapter 1042: Discovered

Shangguan Yuan had breakfast and went straight to the hotel to find Pierce.

"Mr. Pierce, I'm very interested in that virus."

As soon as they met, she stated her purpose straightforwardly.

Pierce raised his eyebrows, "Then you agreed to join SA's research team?"

"No." Shangguan Yuan shook her head, "I want to cooperate with you."

"What do you mean?" Pierce didn't understand what she meant.

Shangguan Yuan smiled and said, "Shangguan Group also has its own research institute. I am the person in charge. I think we can cooperate."

Pierce shook his head, "Miss Shangguan, I think I should make it very clear that the SA Group's research team needs you, and only you."

He deliberately emphasized the word "only" very strongly.

"Mr. Pierce, wouldn't win-win cooperation be better?" Of course Shangguan Yuan would not give up because of this.

Pierce was silent for a while before speaking: "I said it directly, this involves the interests of the SA Group and cannot be shared with others."

In other words, virus research can only be done by the SA Group, and no one else can do it.

Shangguan Yuan laughed out loud, "Mr. Pierce, you are really direct. Okay, just pretend I haven't been here today."

As she spoke, she stood up and pretended to leave.

"Wait a minute." Pierce quickly stopped her, "Miss Shangguan, you haven't told me yet, are you willing to join our research team?"

"Sorry, I don't want to." Shangguan Yuan refused simply.

"Why? The SA Group's research institute may not be the best in the world, but it is at least better than the research institute you are currently working at. And whatever conditions you want, just apply, and I will try my best to satisfy you."

"Thank you for your favor, but now I don't want to make wedding clothes for others. I just want to concentrate on doing the research I want to do."

Pierce is direct, and so is Shangguanyuan.

She came here today to discuss cooperation.

Since cooperation cannot be negotiated, forget it. She has virus samples anyway, so she can do her own research.

"When you go to SA's research institute, you can do independent research," Pierce said.

Shangguan Yuan didn't want to waste any more time, so she smiled and said, "I'm going back. I'll treat you to dinner another day when I have time."

After finishing his words, before Pierce could react, he turned and left.

"Damn it!"

Pierce picked up the cup on the table and slammed it on the floor. Fortunately, the floor was carpeted. The cup didn't break but rolled around a few times and stopped right at Suna's feet.

As soon as they finished talking, Suna came out immediately and happened to witness Pierce losing his temper.

She knelt down and picked up the cup, holding it in her hand for a while before slowly walking to Pierce's side.

"What happened?" Su Na asked concerned.

Pierce glanced sideways at her, then sat down, "That Shangguan Yuan is unwilling to join the SA research team."

"Why, haven't the conditions been agreed upon?" Su Na sat down next to him.

"No. What she wants is cooperation."

Suna frowned, "Cooperation?"

"Well, she is indeed interested in the virus, but she is more interested in the benefits behind the virus."

At this point, Pierce was a little irritated. He turned to Suna and said, "Make me a cup of coffee, strong, without sugar."

"good."

Suna got up and went to the bar to make him coffee.

When she poured the coffee powder, she looked back at Pierce sitting in the living room, her eyes flashing slightly.

She looked away and waited for the coffee to be brewed.

"Ok?"

Pierce asked after a while.

"Okay, okay." Shangguan Yuan took out a small pill from her coat pocket and threw it into the cup while receiving the coffee.

Then, he shook it gently and put it in Pierce's hand.

Pierce was only thinking about the conversation he had just had with Shangguan Yuan, so he took it and started drinking without paying much attention.

Seeing him drink the coffee, the corners of Su Na's mouth slowly raised.

"Suna, today's coffee is too bitter." Pierce said with a frown.

"Then I'll add some sugar cubes to you."

Su Na turned around and was about to go to the bar, when there was a sudden "thud" behind her.

She turned around and saw Pierce lying on the ground.

Done!

Suna couldn't control the curve of her mouth anymore, walked up and kicked Pierce, but there was no reaction at all.

With the amount of medicine she just gave him, Pierce should be able to sleep for several hours.

She looked up at Pierce's room, her eyes narrowed, and what Jing Liuyue wanted was inside.

…

Jing Liuyue's eyelids had been twitching since morning, which made him extremely irritable.

"What do you think is wrong with my eyelids? I've been dancing for several hours and they're still dancing!" Jing Liuyue complained to Ji Dongtang who came to see him.

Ji Dongtang said calmly: "The left eye jumps for wealth, and the right eye jumps for disaster."

When Jing Liuyue heard this, he jumped up, "It's over, my right eye jumped. And it jumped so hard, no disaster will happen to me, right?"

"You're overthinking." Ji Dongtang glanced at him coolly, "Actually, your eyelids are twitching because you didn't get a good rest. Where did you wander off last night?"

"No, I'm at home." Jing Liuyue sat down again, he raised his hand and rubbed his eyelids.

Ji Dongtang changed the subject and asked, "How is the matter that Brother Chen asked you to do?"

"The results will be available today."

As soon as Jing Liuyue finished speaking, his cell phone rang suddenly.

It's Suna.

He quickly picked it up, but before he could speak, Su Na's breathless voice came from over there: "Put the things in the same place."

"Suna, what's wrong with you? What happened?" Jing Liuyue heard something was wrong in her voice and asked anxiously.

"Discovered."

After Su Na said this, the phone hung up.

Jing Liuyue quickly called back.

"Hello, the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable..."

Ji Dongtang saw that his face turned ugly instantly, and asked worriedly: "What's wrong with Su Na?"

"She was discovered." Jing Liuyue turned to look at him.

"How could it be?" Ji Dongtang was surprised, "How could someone as cautious as Su Na be discovered?"

Jing Liuyue felt strange when he thought about it. He said, "No, I have to find her."

With that said, he ran out.

Ji Dongtang couldn't stop him in time, so he had no choice but to catch up.

Suna thought the mission would be completed smoothly, but unexpectedly, Pierce's men would come in and not only found Pierce lying on the ground, but also discovered that she was stealing the secrets of Pierce's computer.

But thankfully, the file was transferred exactly the second it was discovered.

She unplugged the USB flash drive, turned around, opened the window and jumped out.

The thing happened so suddenly that the other party didn't have time to react. By the time he reacted, Su Na had already escaped.

"Chase!"

Following the order, Pierce's men began to chase Suna.

She thought she could escape, but she bumped into someone as soon as they arrived on the first floor of the hotel. Su Na could only run out and try to get rid of those people.

During this period, while the other party was not paying attention, she hid the USB flash drive in a place only she and Jing Liuyue knew.

But when I was on the phone, I was caught by the other party.
