Although Yuanan’s employees fixed the vulnerability in time and did not completely lose the program code of the online system, it was only a matter of time before they could replicate a similar system once they had mastered this most important code.

This is also what Shi Xiao is most worried about now.

If Yuanan did not copy the system at Tan Jing's software company and fix the loopholes in the online system before putting it back online, Yuanan would probably face the risk of disappearing.

The biggest problem is lack of time.

Therefore, the most effective way Shi Xiao could think of was to get rid of Tan Jing.

As for the one million Yuan Shu invested, although he didn't want her to fail on her first investment, he had to consider the overall situation and make up for it later.

Li Ci, who was watching from a distance, also understood the situation. He knew Shi Xiao too well, so he was not surprised by Shi Xiao's decision. The only surprise was that Shi Xiao handled the matter faster than he had imagined.

It seems that since Shi Xiao went to Africa, he has acted more decisively, but his previous ruthlessness seems to have been reduced.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and the surroundings were getting quieter and quieter.

There was no light in the room, only the cold moonlight shining through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Li Ci was shaking the red wine glass in his hand in front of the window, looking at the lake outside with cold eyes.

His cell phone suddenly rang. It was Chen Chen calling.

Chen Chen is Chen Mo's younger brother. Chen Mo is the one who pretended to be Shi Yi's friend but framed Shi Yi behind her back and caused trouble for Shi Yi. The two had a fight at a cocktail party two days ago.

At the same time, Chen Chen is also one of Li Ci's business partners. In fact, rather than being a business partner, it is better to say that he is Li Ci's agent in the business world. His position is similar to Gao Shan's, but his status is much higher than Gao Shan's.

He has many partners in the business world, covering almost every field, but these people have only touched the surface of these fields and are not considered the best in the field at all. This is what Li Ci has always been worried about.

What he lacks is a powerful assistant who can compete with the bigwigs in the business world, so when Shi Xiao comes back this time, he can confront him head-on.

Chen Chen's company is also a software company and has been paying attention to the development of this industry. Chen Chen called to talk about Tan Jing's matter.

Chen Chen said on the other end of the phone: "Second brother, Shi Xiao has already taken action, but I think Tan Jing doesn't seem to have any intention of stopping. He wants to silence Shi Xiao before he kills Yuan An."

Although Li Ci is Chen Chen's boss, he cannot work in any company because of Li Ci's identity. So it is not appropriate to call Li Ci chairman or general manager, but he cannot call him by his name either. Finally, Chen Chen thought of a compromise.

Li Ci is the second child in the family and has an older sister, who is Li Ran's mother, so everyone under Li Ci calls him the second brother.

Li Ci replaced the transparent red liquid in the wine glass, drank the remaining red wine in one gulp, and sneered, "He overestimates himself. If he stops now, his company still has a chance. If he fights hard, he will be doomed."

Chen Chen was a little puzzled. "Second brother, the Tan family has always been neutral. The Jiang family and the Shi family have never stood together. At most, they have a close relationship with the Xu family. Why do so many things seem to be targeting the Shi family recently? First, Shi Xiao got drunk in the no-man's land and had to marry Yuan Shu. Then, Shi Xiao disappeared. Many people wanted to use Yuan Shu to directly attack the Shi family. Isn't it obvious that they have begun to take sides?"

Li Ci said calmly: "Perhaps, he is not just taking sides now, but he already has a stance?"

The person on the other end of the phone was a little confused and silent for a moment.

Li Ci continued, "It seems that some people can't help themselves and can't wait to make this secret public."

Chen Chen asked doubtfully: "You mean, the Jiang family has already started to take action?"

Li Ci was confused and worried. This was just the first step of the Jiang family's plan against the Shi family. If their identities were exposed directly, then how many cards would the Jiang family have in the future? And these cards might be even more powerful than Tan Jing's.

Just as I was thinking, the door on the second floor behind me opened, and a dim light suddenly came on, and then a muffled voice said, "Uncle, the room is so dark, why don't you turn on the light?"

Li Ci turned around and looked towards the corridor on the second floor, and saw Li Ran standing in front of the door, rubbing his eyes sleepily.

Li Ci said to the phone, "Let's talk about the rest tomorrow. I'm hanging up."

After hanging up the phone, he put the phone on the sofa beside him and turned to look at Li Ran who was slowly walking down the stairs.

Li Ci asked, "Why did you get up suddenly?"

Li Ran's voice was very light, and he was obviously still groggy. "I was thirsty, so I got up to find some water to drink."

After hearing this, Li Ci poured her a glass of warm water. When she came closer, he handed the water to her and said, "Don't drink too much water, otherwise you won't sleep well at night."

Li Ran took a sip and put down the cup, "Why aren't you sleeping yet?"

Li Ci touched Li Ran's head lovingly, "I was about to go to bed, and wanted to see if you had kicked off the quilt, but you came out."

Li Ran pouted, "Why is my sleeping posture so bad!"

Li Ci didn't say anything, but he didn't argue with her in the middle of the night, for fear of disturbing her sleep. "It's okay, your sleeping position is the best."

Li Ran nodded with satisfaction, got up and went upstairs. When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped and leaned against the corridor and said to Li Ci downstairs: "Uncle, did you just talk to Chen Chen on the phone? Is there any problem at the software company?"

Li Ci was stunned for a moment before he said, "It's okay, don't worry about it."

Li Ci had never concealed his business affairs from Li Ran, and he knew that Li Ran was not interested in these things, so Li Ran only had a general understanding of his business. As for the operations and intrigues behind the scenes, Li Ran knew nothing about them.

Li Ran said seriously: "Uncle, Zhou Liu is a programmer. If you really have any problems with the software, you can ask him for help."

Li Ci laughed at his niece for being stupid, the company had its own rules, how could Zhou Liu help him?

However, Li Ci did need Zhou Liu's help with something.

"Okay, I understand. You should go to bed quickly and get up early tomorrow and go somewhere with me." Li Ci said.

Li Ran asked curiously: "Where are we going?"

Li Ci continued to keep her in suspense: "We'll know tomorrow, now go to bed."

"Oh."

After Shi Xiao and Liu Lan had dinner together, Shi Xiao planned to ask Zhao Cheng to send Liu Lan home. Liu Lanxi bit her lower lip, looked pitiful, and gently pulled Shi Xiao's clothes.

Liu Lan had something to say to Shi Xiao, so she invited Shi Xiao to dinner. Unexpectedly, Zhao Cheng and Zhao Mian also came. She and Shi Xiao sat diagonally opposite each other and had no chance to talk properly. The room was very quiet and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

Now Shi Xiao asked Zhao Cheng to send her back. If she goes back today, she doesn’t know when she can see Shi Xiao again. Liu Lan has no choice but to pull Shi Xiao’s clothes to arouse his sympathy.

When in Africa, Liu Lan saved Shi Xiao and Zhao Cheng and took care of them for more than a month before she recovered from her injuries. After Shi Xiao brought her back to China, he never had the chance to take good care of her. He was too busy with work to even have time to see her, and Shi Xiao felt somewhat guilty.

So Shi Xiao compromised and told Zhao Mian: "That's all for today. Let Zhao Cheng take you back."

Zhao Mian was a little worried that today's data would not be available until after 10 o'clock in the evening. Shi Xiao's original plan was to stay in the office waiting for the data to come out, but now he was delayed by Liu Lan, and Zhao Mian was afraid that time was too tight.

So Zhao Mian asked, "Where's the data?"

Shi Xiao frowned when he heard this. He was not the kind of person who would waste time on other things, but today's circumstances were special, and he hadn't had a good rest for a long time, so he might as well let himself rest first and let Tan Jing go for the time being.

"We'll deal with it tomorrow morning and give me a plan based on the data as soon as possible."
