Chapter 557: Chapter 332: Peeling the Layers (Fourth Update)
(Here is the fourth update for the 30th, with three more to come today. Then, begging for monthly votes at the beginning of the month, everything you hope to see will appear soon!!~~)
Mu Fan spoke with such calmness that Nuonuo almost forgot to notice the wounds on his body during their eye contact.
After Nuonuo had recounted to Mu Fan everything that happened before his arrival, Mu Fan’s eyelids lowered, and he remained silent for about ten seconds before speaking, “You said the Sky Communication you received during the rehearsal backstage at the auditorium was from Rodrick, that he’s the Grand Chief Mechanical Master of Loki Heavy Industry?”
“Yes, it was said to be at Space Port 15, and then the military should have been about to break in at that time. The Sky Communication was cut off, and then I encountered military personnel on my way to the Space Port.” Wang Nuonuo said confidently, also mentioning that the news of her grandfather’s encounter with misfortune came from them.
Mu Fan spoke indifferently, “He must have been lying…”
Huh?
Wang Nuonuo looked up abruptly, disbelieving, “You’re saying Uncle Rodrick lied?! Impossible, he also owns 0.5% of Loki Heavy Industry’s shares, one of the small shareholders. How could he possibly deceive me!”
“His Sky Communication location was that warehouse district… that’s where I encountered you.” After some thought, Mu Fan finally decided to reveal this discovery.
That was an area Black had initially locked onto.
After communicating with Wang Nuonuo, Mu Fan finally unearthed this slip-up that had been exposed from the beginning!
Because of Black’s existence, all ports that access the public network became potential points of invasion for Black.
And Rodrick, who was initially used as bait, was unexpectedly dug out by Black in this manner.
However, for now, Mu Fan couldn’t tell Wang Nuonuo the specific reasons.
“Impossible, I’ve already seen Uncle Rodrick covered in wounds, locked behind that warehouse.” Nuonuo murmured.
Hearing Mu Fan say this, she subconsciously chose to believe Mu Fan’s words for some reason.
But, why did her heart ache so much…
Did Uncle Rodrick, whom she regarded as family, also betray her?
Then, is the news about her grandfather’s life and death uncertain or not!?
A flicker of hope suddenly kindled in Nuonuo’s eyes.
Mu Fan naturally saw the glimmer of hope in Wang Nuonuo’s eyes, but ultimately, he couldn’t bear to shatter the girl’s hope.
Because as far as Wang Ji’s news was concerned, since the opposing party dared to claim it, and moreover, took shares so blatantly on Purple Jade Star, it was highly unlikely to be a baseless rumor.
After weighing his tone carefully, looking at the sadness in the girl’s eyes, Mu Fan finally said, “It’s very likely false, so you must stay strong. Loki Heavy Industry needs you!”
Mu Fan’s words, like a sounding gong and drum, reverberated heavily within Nuonuo’s heart.
Even if everyone betrayed the Wang Family, even if the confidants around her betrayed her, there was still Mu Fan here to give encouragement, to give her hope!
If there were still people willing to believe in her, support her,
then what reason did she have to continue to wallow in despair?
She absolutely wouldn’t let those people take away her grandfather’s hard work.
Her grandfather must not have died!
She had to last until the day her grandfather returned!
What Mu Fan didn’t know was, his casual words of comfort had become the only rope pulling the girl out of the Abyss at this moment.
But what lay before them was a bloody, cruel reality.
That is, as Loki Heavy Industry was undergoing tumultuous changes at the top, it was utterly incapable of fulfilling its original agreements.
During the interstellar era, the mineral enterprise was capital-intensive, while the more advanced Mecha industry extended from a capital-intensive base to a technology-intensive industry!
Loki Heavy Industry had already lost its capabilities to sustain and regenerate funds.
With defections at the top level, the liquid assets of Loki Heavy Industry had been frozen!
The massive enterprise that had a breakdown in its capital chain was now facing an extremely severe problem.
That is, how to achieve self-revitalization!
If this step could be achieved, the shares held by Wang Nuonuo would truly stabilize, and there would be a real chance for a turnaround!
It meant regaining support from the government of Purple Jade Star!
Nobody turns down money!
So now… she must secure a chance to contact the direct descendants of the Purple Jade Star’s Wang Family.
Sky Communication, her own Sky Communication!
Thinking this, Nuonuo suddenly stood up with excitement, only to sit down weakly again.
“My Sky Communication was left at the academy. Sir, I must now contact Loki Heavy Industry. I absolutely cannot go on feeling dejected. With Grandpa gone, I’ll definitely shoulder the responsibility of Loki Heavy Industry!” Wang Nuonuo’s eyes showed a resolute determination.
At this moment, some quality in her perfectly overlapped with that of Wang Ji, who had swept through the business sea for decades.
Just like the aura of an industry giant with assets worth hundreds of billions, which Mu Fan felt the first time he saw Wang Ji.
Hearing Wang Nuonuo’s words, Mu Fan placed his right hand on the ground and stood up straight.
He walked to the window under Nuonuo’s puzzled gaze, pulled apart the blinds, and looked outside.
“The tails have us surrounded within 300 meters, at three different angles–they’re tailing us.”
Turning back to look at Wang Nuonuo, Mu Fan suddenly asked out of nowhere, “Does Loki Heavy Industry have any Mechas available for sale right now?”
“Yes, but since the last successful Mecha exhibition, nearly half of the group’s funds have been shifted to Mecha production, so in another large storage facility at the transfer point between Purple Jade Star and Blue Capital Star, there are nearly ten thousand mass-produced mechas of Loki Heavy Industry.
“These Mechas tie up a vast amount of working capital, but this is also an area that they currently cannot control, because the authority is only in my and Grandpa’s hands,” Wang Nuonuo clearly organized the information she held in her mind.
Hearing this, a thought flashed through Mu Fan’s mind like lightning, his eyes radiating an arresting brilliance.
Beep beep beep, beep beep beep.
Just then, the Sky Communication on Mu Fan’s waist vibrated suddenly.
“Private number, located 2 kilometers away,” Black’s voice sounded.
2 kilometers away?
Mu Fan looked at the unknown caller ID flashing on the screen and pressed to connect.
“Who?” he asked in a low voice, his query just a single word.
“I am delighted to find Mr. Mu Fan still alive, but please hand the Sky Communication to Miss Nuonuo…”
As soon as the other party spoke, Mu Fan felt a sense of familiarity.
Black instantly analyzed the result, “Voice analysis compared to Lin family’s eldest son, Lin Wu. From the information just checked by Nuonuo, he has been watching from the shadows and is not a direct participant.”
Mu Fan raised his eyes to look at Wang Nuonuo opposite him and handed over the Sky Communication.
“Lin, Wu,” Mu Fan said softly.
Hearing this name, Wang Nuonuo’s eyes revealed a deep-seated hatred, but she still took the Sky Communication.
“Miss Nuonuo, good evening. I believe you must be aware of those tails outside, but don’t misunderstand, they have nothing to do with me… I have something to discuss with Miss Nuonuo. I believe it will be greatly beneficial for you and your family.” Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World.Site Only
The voice from the Sky Communication was steady, unhurried, like an old friend discussing a matter normally, compelling one to listen attentively.
This voice, at least, was a hundred times better than that of the madman and pervert Donald Natello.
Now, under these circumstances, Lin Wu contacted Nuonuo alone–what could it be about?
Nuonuo took the Sky Communication, her voice cold, devoid of any emotion.
“What is it?”
