Chapter 299 No Choice

"The Prime Minister and the current King are cousins, as well as their wives." Fu Jin said.

"Really?"

Fu Jin nodded. "So, there is a possibility that the order came directly from the Queen."

"But why? Why are they deliberately provoking me? When it was the Prime Minister, who invited me. Why is she trying to go against her husband?"

"There is no way for us to know it right now... But I have other news for you." Fu Jin said. "I believe, we found the Island where Li Qiang is staying."

"In the northern part?"

"Yes... It is a private island, under a different person's name. But we have the coordinates. So, as soon as you finish your drone, you can immediately start your surveillance."

Jiang Yue nodded at his words. Based on her current progress, she was a hundred percent sure that she would be able to finish the drone project within a month. Just in time for her to go to the M Country.

"By the way... are you coming with me?" she asked before cuddling in Fu Jin's arms.

"I will try and finish everything as soon as possible, so I can come with you. If not, then I will have to come later."

"It's okay... you don't have to rush anything. I can handle it. It is just a simple meeting, anyway. Moreover, Bei Ye and Wang Bolin will be coming with me."

"I don't trust them." Fu Jin frowned. "Li Qiang always has a way to breach our security and do whatever he likes. I don't..."

"Then, just trust me. I promise, I'll be safe," she interrupted and felt Fu Jin kiss her forehead before drifting off to sleep.

Meanwhile, Quan Lei was in a meeting with a representative from the M Country.

Quan Lei was frowning. while staring at the middle-aged man in front of him.

"So, you want me to stop CEO Jiang from going to the M Country, to see the Prime Minister?" he asked.

"You are right."

"What if I can't do that? As you know, CEO Jiang is extremely smart and cunning."

"Then, sabotage her presentation for the King and General," the middle-aged man answered, without batting an eye.

Quan Lei scoffed at the man's words. "You should know that she has created the malware that attacked Angler Tech's security system, right?"

"I am aware... But..."

"If you are aware, then you should know that it is very hard to sabotage her. If you are not aware, there once was a foolish family, which tried to get ahead of her and sabotage her presentation, do you know what happened to them?"

"If you are talking about the Wu Family... then, I am well aware of their outcome," the middle-aged man answered.

"In that case, why are you asking me to sabotage her?" Quan Lei asked, earning a smile from the middle-aged man.

"Mr. Quan, why do I feel that you seem to like CEO Jiang?" the middle-aged man asked. "You supposed to be CEO Jiang's competitor. I was sure that you would immediately grab this opportunity, once I offer it to you. However, If you refuse, it will not actually be a big issue. I can just approach other international companies and have them do my Mistress' bidding instead."

Quan Lei narrowed his eyes at the middle-aged man. 'So, these people are adamant about destroying Jiang Yue, and not letting her see the King,' he thought. Then, he gritted his teeth in annoyance before saying, "Alright. I will do it."

Although Quan Lei didn't like doing something to sabotage Jiang Yue, he really had no choice, other than accepting this proposal. In that way, he could have made sure that he could still protect Jiang Yue from the shadows. He would sabotage Jiang Yue's presentation and maybe, try to stop her from going to M Country while making sure that she was safe in the process.

The middle-aged man instantly beamed at Quan Lei's words. "Don't worry about anything else, we will invest in your company, once Jiang Yue try to do something as crazy as trying to bankrupt your company."

"I only have one question about all of this." Quan Lei said, trying his best to hide the contempt in his voice. "Why are you doing this? What will happen if the Prime Minister get a hold of this matter and make an enemy out of us? He has the King backing him."

"That's already two questions, Mr. Quan. First, the reason behind all of this is none of your business. Second, you don't have to worry about the Prime Minister finding out about this matter, as my Mistress is sure that she can keep this hidden."

"So, what will happen if they discover that we are doing something to prevent CEO Jiang from going to the M country? What will happen if they discover the sabotage?"

"Then, you will be on your own. I and my Mistress will not acknowledge this conversation in any way." The middle-aged man answered straightforwardly.

Quan Lei could only stare at the man in astonishment. So, if something happened, they would just abandon Angler Tech. How convenient. It seemed that he really didn't have another choice, than protecting Jiang Yue and maybe, even letting her know of the dangers that were about to come.
