Chapter 272 A Cunning Plan!
The next morning, sunlight streamed through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, casting warm dappled patterns on the floor.
When Zhang Yan woke up, Nie Qingcheng was still curled up in his arms like a cat, fast asleep.
Her breathing was steady, her long eyelashes cast a small shadow under her eyelids, and the beauty mark at the corner of her eye was particularly clear in the morning light.
The past few days of running around and staying alone have taken a toll on her mental and physical energy.
Zhang Yan carefully withdrew his arm, trying not to disturb her.
He picked up his phone from the bedside table, unlocked it, and opened the unread message from last night.
After reading Qin Xiao's words, Zhang Yan's expression showed little surprise.
Expected.
At that exchange meeting, he overturned not only the table, but also the arrogance and dignity of Tanaka and his group of technical personnel.
How could an apology letter possibly erase such a deep-seated humiliation?
He didn't reply immediately, but instead opened another program.
On the screen, several red dots are slowly moving across the map of Jinghai City.
Those were real-time signals from several miniature "Wolf Gaze" reconnaissance robots that he had left near the Jiangda campus, disguised as stray cats and dogs.
Last night, he had Qin Xiao input the biometrics of the members of the Japanese delegation into the monitoring system.
At this moment, most of the delegation members' signals were focused on the hotel area where they were staying.
Only three signals left the hotel at four in the morning, their movements were erratic, they deliberately chose to go to blind spots of the surveillance cameras, and finally disappeared into an old industrial area in the west of the city.
Ordinary scholars don't have this ability.
Zhang Yan tapped his fingers lightly on the screen, sending out a command silently.
"Qin Xiao, use 'dog' to keep a close eye on them."
"Don't alert them. I just want to see what kind of people they've brought."
The so-called "dog" is a smaller and more stealthy insect-shaped reconnaissance robot than the "wolf look".
They can easily adhere to any vehicle or building surface, truly achieving a silent and undetectable effect.
After he finished doing all this, he had just put away his phone when the person in his arms stirred and made a muffled nasal sound.
Nie Qingcheng woke up.
She opened her eyes, looked at him groggily for a few seconds, then instinctively reached out and hugged his waist, buried her face in his chest, and tried to fall asleep again.
"What time is it?"
Her voice was hoarse from just waking up.
"Eight o'clock."
Zhang Yan patted her on the back, "Are you hungry? What do you want to eat?"
"I don't want to move, so feed me."
She cheated.
Zhang Yan smiled and leaned down to kiss her forehead.
"Then you can go hungry."
Nie Qingcheng reluctantly lifted her head from his embrace, only to find Zhang Yan looking at his phone. Although there was still a smile on his lips, there was no warmth in his eyes.
She immediately sensed that something was wrong.
"What happened?"
"It's nothing, just a little trouble." Zhang Yan didn't want her to worry.
Nie Qingcheng sat up, the straps of her silk nightgown slipping off her shoulders, revealing glimpses of her cleavage, but she didn't seem to care.
She reached for Zhang Yan's phone, glanced at it, and her face darkened.
"The Land of Cherry Blossoms?"
Her voice instantly turned several degrees colder.
"Tanaka? I remember that name. Last time, when they were bidding for the South African mining area, it was the consortium behind them who was behind it."
She looked up at Zhang Yan, her eyes filled with undisguised murderous intent.
"They want to get you?"
"They might not just want to mess with me."
Zhang Yan took back his phone and calmly recounted the whole story, along with his own speculations: "They're investigating my social connections, trying to find my weaknesses."
"And you are the most obvious target in their eyes."
After hearing this, Nie Qingcheng actually laughed.
That smile was cold, like the thin ice that forms on a lake in winter.
"weakness?"
She extended a finger and gently traced its line along Zhang Yan's jawline. "They see me as your weakness?"
She stood up, walked to the window, picked up her phone, and dialed a number.
"it's me."
"Short the stocks of all listed companies under the Zefeng Consortium. Use all available resources. I want them to lose half their market value within three days."
"In addition, notify the person in charge in South Africa to terminate all cooperation with Japanese companies and void all previously agreed terms."
"Also, check out the biggest sponsors of the Sakura National Institute of Technology. I want their supply chains to experience an 'unpredictable' disruption within three days."
She spoke of a series of instructions with a nonchalant air, yet every word reeked of bloodshed.
This is Nie Qingcheng. When her man is wronged, she won't ask why; she will only retaliate a hundredfold or a thousandfold in the most direct and brutal way.
After hanging up the phone, she turned around and looked at Zhang Yan. The coldness in her eyes melted instantly, replaced by a gentle smile.
Is this enough?
Zhang Yan walked over, both amused and exasperated, and hugged her from behind.
"That's enough. If you don't stop, you'll ruin Japan's economy."
He rested his chin on her shoulder. "But that would be too easy on them."
Nie Qingcheng was taken aback. "Then what do you want?"
"Aren't they trying to find my 'weakness'?" Zhang Yan's lips curled into a playful smile. "Then we'll just give them a 'weakness' in the first place."
"A trap that they could never escape from."
He explained his plan in detail.
The more Nie Qingcheng listened, the brighter her eyes became.
"You mean...make a robot that looks exactly like me?"
"They're not robots," Zhang Yan corrected her. "They're Mohist mechanical puppets, or rather, highly biomimetic combat mechs."
"It not only has your appearance, but also your physique, your voice, and even... part of your 'temperament'."
"I need all your body data."
"The more detailed the better." Zhang Yan looked at her with a serious expression.
Nie Qingcheng was stunned for a moment, then realized the double meaning in his words. Her pretty face turned red, and she reached out and pinched the soft flesh on his waist.
"rogue!"
She was cursing, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up.
She was captivated by the feeling of being cherished and protected in such a grand manner.
"Okay." She turned around, wrapped her arms around Zhang Yan's neck, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him. "Then I won't go out for the next couple of days."
"Let the company handle it themselves."
"My time is all yours."
"Whatever data you need, I'll give it to you."
Her eyes held a hint of cunning and provocation.
"However, as compensation for the 'bait,' you have to satisfy me first."
Before Zhang Yan could reply, she pushed him down onto the large bed behind him.
His hot body pressed against him, carrying an irresistible force and a tenderness that only he could enjoy.
The sunlight outside the window was perfect, but the air inside the villa was rapidly heating up.
Zhang Yan felt that dealing with a few reckless individuals might not require such a complicated plan.
But since his woman wanted to play, he would play a big game with her.
A hunting game that could make the entire Sakura Country feel the pinch.
