Chapter 20 - Mysterious File

"Are you winning? I think I\'m losing against myself." The old man in the screen said.

"Of course, I never lost against myself. That\'ll be stupid." The old man in the couch said.

"Hahaha! Pardon me for being stupid. You\'re still the same old Xiong with the same rude mouth of yours." The old man in the screen laughed. He was not a bit offended by what the other old man said.

"And you\'re still the same, stupid old Guan."

"Old Xiong, I know you did not contact me just to offend me. You\'re not that bored aren\'t you?"

"Of course. Xiong corp. still doing great. I called you because I have some matter to change in our deal last time."

"Last time? The only deal we made is the marriage arrangement for your eldest granddaughter and my youngest grandson."

"That\'s what I\'m talking about."

"Oh, what is it? Do you want to introduce them to each other now? I already sent my grandson to that school. I still want to let them meet first by themselves."

"Have you told him who is his fiancé?"

"Not yet, it is his mission to know. Why asking?"

"I made a deal with my granddaughter."

Old Guan stopped moving his go, and looked at old Xiong on his screen.

"That\'s news. Since when did you make deals with youngsters? Do you suddenly realized to become a filial grandfather?"

Old Xiong glared at him.

"Of course not. I just realized that maybe I don\'t need your help anymore."

Old Guan raised his eyebrow.

"What do you mean?"

"Do you want to know what deal I agreed from my granddaughter?" Old Guan noticed the arrogant tone of his old friend. This made him curious.

"Don\'t make it a suspense. Just said it already."

" Well, Zhi\'er proposed that she will create her own company and make it big in four years. Do you know what I consider big? She even said that it will reach in my ears.That\'s how confident she is. You know me, old Guan, I will never invest to a company that was only a drawing. How much more a company made by a 16 year old? But I felt it. I have a hunch that this granddaughter of mine would surprise me. I want to see how far she can grow. Maybe, I can finally find my rightful heir."

"So? What does it have to do to our previous deal?"

"Well, there is a condition. If she win, made her company big enough to gain my attention, then she would choose her way in her life, hands off."

"Hmm..it means you cannot invade any decisions in her life including marriage."

"Yes, you\'re not stupid after all." Actually Old Guan was not stupid, how could an owner of Guan group that was internationally famous be stupid? He just had a low EQ.

And Old Xiong, who grew together with him knew his secret.

"So you are saying that you want to break our deal for that agreement between you and your granddaughter?"

"Well, if she manage to be successful. But if not our deal will come in then."

"So I\'m like your second plan ha? Your heartless as always. But you know me old Xiong---"

"I already sent the contract to your email. Just fax it to me after you signed it." Old Xiong knew what this old and crafty Guan wants. He need to coax this old man.

Old Guan told something in his secretary and minutes later the secretary bring some doc.u.ments. Old Guan read the content. After the last page, he laughed.

"Hahahaha! You are really confident towards your granddaughter aren\'t you? To compensate me with a billion project! I tried to talk to you this project for three months but you never blinked! Now, you invest with billions! Hahaha! Remember, this compensation is only for breaking the deal nothing more. " Then old Guan laughed again.

"I know, if she fail, she has to marry the man I chose for him. Besides she is a Xiong. I will give her a chance to prove herself. This chance wasn\'t even given to any of my kin. "

"Hahaha! Why don\'t we make a bet? 100 million."

"Fine. But let\'s raise it. It\'s too small."

"500 M?"

"1 Billion." Old Xiong said with straight face.

"What?! That\'s how confident you are to your granddaughter?!"

"2 Billion. I\'m not confident. She is a Xiong. A billion or two is not what she\'s worth."

Billions for them was only a part of their money. Both were owners of Big company internationally. They could spend billions without even blinking an eye. But for these two old man, losing a penny for the other was like losing their whole company to the other. That\'s how competitive they were to each other.

"Fine! You and your beliefs! How can I win them?! So what side you are betting?" Old Guan gave up. Well, two billion was not big for him. But it was still a money. But it was ok, he thought this time was a win-win situation for him. He got the billion project from his old friend, he could win 2 billion, he would get a granddaughter-in-law, and he could tease this serious old man once he lost.

However, little did he know that he was the one who will be in this situation.

"Of course, on my granddaughter\'s side. The blood of Xiong runs in her." Old Xiong said with pride.

"Then I\'ll take the other side. I don\'t quite believe that your granddaughter who haven\'t seen the business world will be successful. She has so much to learn. Even the harsh reality."

"En. That\'s what I thought, but I want to see what she can do.,I\'ll believe in her for now."

Silence was heard afterwards.

Then Old Guan asked.

"When is your Xiong Corp anniversary?"

"Two weeks from now. Are you going this year?"

"I don\'t plan to. But I want to see your bold granddaughter that managed you to waste your money."

"Then see it for yourself. "

After the video call ended, Old Xiong stand up and walked towards the window. He looked at the city lights below, a beautiful scene like stars in the dark sky.

"Zhi\'er , I hope you won\'t disappoint me."

________________________________

Xiong Zhi walked downstairs with gracefulness, like a beautiful goddess that was descending on earth. That was Linfeng and the maids thought when they saw Xiong Zhi coming down.

However, the goddess herself, was actually in deep thought and walking down slowly with depression. Every step was heavy.

Xiong Zhi was still thinking what she felt yesterday and how childish she acted. Now, she did not know how to face Linfeng. Did Linfeng think she was overacting?

However, Linfeng , the subject of Xiong Zhi\'s torment already forgotten the tantrums Xiong Zhi did yesterday. It was actually unnoticeable.

Linfeng reached out his hand to guide Xiong Zhi.

"Good morning, Young Miss Zhi."

"En." Xiong Zhi did not accept the hand nor look at him.

This made Linfeng stiffened.

They walked towards the car and rode quietly.

Xiong Zhi was in a bad mood again. She felt that she had hurt Linfeng by not accepting his hand. Well, she wanted too. But she was still guilty for accusing Linfeng flirting with the maid.

While Linfeng was confused.

His heart was heavy and disappointed. To what? He did not know. Its like he felt rejected.

The two was immersed in their own thoughts.

The driver was also in the bad mood.

***[RR] : Why? Did he have a heart ache too?***

(A/N :? your alive! No...he was angry at himself. He thought he disappoint his young miss because his young miss was in a bad mood after that day. You know, their personal talk.)

***[RR] : ohh..poor driver ...he got it all wrong...A/N tell him.***

(A/N : I kept giving him hints but he didn\'t get it. Poor him.)

Xiong Zhi entered the class with heavy heart.

In the entrance she saw Gu Zhen sitting next to her usual spot. His hair was in disarray which was always- more disarray, he had dark circles under his eyes and his clothes looked like it was put hurriedly.

He stand up quickly when he saw Xiong Zhi.

"I\'ve been waiting for you! Come here!" He excitingly said.

Xiong Zhi\'s eye brow raised.

What can get him so excited other than compu---?

Then Xiong Zhi walked hurriedly towards Gu Zhen.

"What is it? Did you find something?" She asked once she seated next to him.

"Of course. But there\'s more..."

Gu Zhen opened his laptop and opened a file.

It was an image.

"I hacked all the accounts you have written. I copied all of them. It was on your USB. But there\'s an account that I spent hours with. These accounts that I hacked were completely defenseless against me within minutes. 4-5? minutes the maximum. But this account--"

Gu Zhen typed something and the account of the President of CJ\'s came out.

"I hacked this account. And I copy all of his file easily. But there is one file that was heavily protected. When I tried to copy it, this file produced virus and destroy all the data on my computer. It is good that I was inventing my own security system against hackers and virus. If not I will not recover any file in my computer. Do you know how many hours this file virus fought with my defense? They fought for six hours!That\'s insane! This is the first time I encountered something like this. Who ever invented this type of virus is a genius." Gu Zhen said with awe.

"But of course, I\'m more a genius. I fought and my system won. If I was given more time I can completely wipe out his virus and trace that file and copied it ." Gu Zhen said with excitement. Despite the dark circles in his eyes, he looked enthusiastic than ever. Xiong Zhi guessed this guy did not sleep.? Thinking this, Xiong Zhi was grateful.

"Thank you for helping me. In return I will keep my promise." Xiong Zhi said with sincerity.

Gu Zhen just scratched his head.

"Yeah ...you should fulfill it. By the way, do you want to infiltrate that file?"

"Can I see?"

Gu Zhen beckoned Xiong Zhi to come closer and peeked on his laptop.

Gu Zhen used his mouse and point the arrow to a certain file.

L

"?!" Xiong Zhi was startled . Seeing this letter she can\'t help but remember the guard in the rooftop wearing the same symbol on his collar, and also the silver boy.

\'Are they connected? Or coincidental?\'

"What me to open it? But you need to add some compensation. It will probably take a whole day." Gu Zhen said with enthusiasm. He felt challenged. And he like it.

"No. I don\'t think I need it. Besides if that file is protected heavily while the other files are not it must probably connected to a bigger party. And I don\'t need an additional problem. I think these files are enough." Xiong Zhi felt there was something more behind that file. That if she peered into it, she might be in trouble for the rest of her life. Besides she thought it doesn\'t have anything to do with the evidence she needed.

So for now, let it pass.

Little did she know, that far in the future she would return to this situation and had no choice but to open the file.

(A/N : and that is in the future. Don\'t get too excited. XD joke. Be excited ;) )

***[RR] : Lol..***
