Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss - Chapter 1632

1632 The Chip Was Destroyed

Huo Yao simply smiled. She turned to place the untouched cup back onto the coffee table.

What she didn’t say was that she simply had very sharp ears.

Wu Yue touched his nose. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Qiao En’s assistant hurriedly coming back after leaving earlier.

“My apologies. Prof Qiao has something urgent to attend to. Let me see you off,” said the assistant quickly.

!!
Wu Yue could tell it was very urgent, so he did not want to stay and disturb them. He got up and said, “Since Prof Qiao is busy, allow us to take our leave. You don’t have to show us out. I’m sure we can find the way on our own.”

The incident was very serious, so Qiao En’s assistant did not even bother to smile politely. Instead, he heaved a sigh of relief and said to Wu Yue, “Ok, thanks.”

After the assistant walked them downstairs, he went back to the laboratory.

“Something must have happened.” As Wu Yue walked, he glanced in the direction Qiao En’s assistant had left.

Huo Yao nodded and retrieved her phone from her pocket.

Uncle Changfeng had sent her a text message.

When Qiao En got to the laboratory block and back to his laboratory, he saw the damaged equipment. He could feel his blood vessels nearly exploding.

He stumbled backward and nearly died of internal bleeding on the spot.

There were two pieces of equipment in his laboratory. Both of them had been carefully modified. They contained nearly over two decades of research data. It took years of work for him to gather this data.

If they got destroyed, it was no different from killing him.

Qiao En’s eyes turned bloodshot. He staggered to the computer and turned it on. No matter how he tried, it refused to come to life.

At the same time, other than the computer’s gold metallic exterior, the hardware and chip inside was also destroyed.

Judging from the degree of damage, even if they sent it for repairs, there was probably no saving it.

Since the chip was irreparable, this meant his life’s work was gone.

Qiao En’s hands trembled. He had only left the laboratory briefly. He did not understand how it could end up completely wrecked!

The assistant came back. After seeing the state of the laboratory, he inhaled deeply in shock.

The laboratory was very important to Prof Qiao. The assistant swallowed with great difficulty without daring to walk over to Prof Qiao.

Qiao En gripped the damaged chip with his eyes almost bloodshot. “Who did this?”

The assistant trembled and hurriedly explained. “The surveillance in the lab was destroyed. The culprit came prepared. Also, they avoided the teacher in charge completely. This meant they knew the lab layout well.”

Qiao En could taste blood coming up his throat, but he suppressed it. “Does this mean it was an inside job?”

“It’s very likely.” The assistant lowered his head and analyzed the situation. “Also, your lab is secured by several locks. Other than you, no one else can enter.”

That meant if someone tried to intrude into the laboratory, the alarm would be triggered just by touching the door. It was impossible for anyone to destroy everything in the laboratory in such a short time.

Qiao En looked increasingly agitated.

The assistant glanced at Qiao En, paused, and continued. “I’ll go and see how the other floors are doing.”

Qiao En looked angry and did not utter a word while the assistant quickly walked off.
