My Wife is Actually a top-tier Soldier King?!
Chapter 461 - 461 461 Terrified!

461: Chapter 461: Terrified!

461: Chapter 461: Terrified!

Are they all scared to death?

Tang Xiao guessed that anyone seeing that terrifying amount would get a shock.

Whether they could actually be scared to death… well, that was hard to say.

But one thing for sure was that the top echelons and shareholders of the three corporate giants, upon seeing such a terrifying amount and the rich content of the extortion email, would definitely not be in a good mood.

They’d probably be so angry they could explode, going absolutely insane…

But who cares!

As long as Tang Xiao felt relieved, that’s all that mattered.

Those shameless three giants, for their own interests, dared to let the Aseyah Youth Army create horrifying serial bombings.

Who knew what kind of wicked tricks they would come up with in the future.

For such ‘three big hooligans,’ Wu Jie’s ‘tit-for-tat’ approach was truly satisfying to everyone.

So they just want to tear off the facade and have an outright confrontation?

Let’s see who will have the last laugh!

Heaving a long sigh.

Tang Xiao watched Wu Jie pack up the laptop, her lips curling up slightly, her eyes curious.

“I really didn’t expect that you’re not only skilled in martial arts and acupuncture, but you’re also a top hacker!”

Wu Jie chuckled and said, “Having lots of skills doesn’t hurt when you’re wandering the world!”

“Damn!

Can’t you come up with a different line?” Tang Xiao scolded with a laugh.

Wu Jie pondered for a moment, then laughed, “It’s all for the sake of ‘showing off,’ you know!”

Pfft!

Tang Xiao burst into laughter.

Clutching her stomach and trying to suppress her laughter, she asked,

“Then why were you so low-key before?

You were indistinguishable from a poor loser!”

Wu Jie zipped up his backpack and sat down beside Tang Xiao.

“Because I hadn’t met the right person before!”

“So you mean, whatever you do, it’s all for me?”

Tang Xiao turned to face Wu Jie, teasingly asking.

“Isn’t it?

If it weren’t for you, how could I possibly compare martial arts skills with others?

If not for you, why would I need to compete in technology with the three big hooligans?

If it weren’t for you, how could I…”

Wu Jie hadn’t finished speaking when Tang Xiao covered his mouth with her hand.

“Stop, stop, stop!

Don’t end up saying that even eating, drinking, pooping, and sleeping are all for me!” Tang Xiao pouted her red lips and said, “Don’t tell me without me, you can’t live?”

“Pretty much!”

Wu Jie gazed at Tang Xiao’s limpid eyes and smiled,

“I’m really curious, how did you feel after fainting today?

How did your hand get injured while everything was fine?”

Tang Xiao snorted defiantly and said,

“I didn’t feel anything!

Just sent you to the hospital, then waited for you to wake up!”

Wu Jie chuckled softly,

“Look at you now, I know you’re lying!

You must have been really anxious, right?

Worried I wouldn’t wake up?”

Tang Xiao pursed her lips, “Nope!

You’re so tough, what would I have to worry about?

If you really didn’t wake up, I’d rather be happy because then no one could bully me ever again!”

“Is that so?” Wu Jie asked with a sheepish smile, “Then why, when I woke up, did I see your eyes all red?

Surely you haven’t cried?”

Tang Xiao, leaning on Wu Jie’s chest, defiantly exclaimed,

“Cry?

Do you think I’m a sentimental, weak woman?

What kind of scenes haven’t I seen?

A little situation like that couldn’t scare me.

My eyes were red because I was excited by the miracle!”

Wu Jie laughed.

He always knew Tang Xiao had a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

Even if her heart was already filled with stormy waves, she appeared calm on the surface.

She was used to being ‘dominant and strong.’ She would never admit that she had also been ‘lonely, weak, and helpless.’

The two of them, one beside the other, quietly enjoyed this rare peace.

Tang Xiao felt a calmness in her heart she had never experienced before.

It was very solid, very warm!

How she wished time would stop, to continue like this forever, how wonderful would that be?

But…

The tranquility was only temporary.

Soon, Cai Xu came to remind them that it was time to depart.

Dusk had settled.

In front of the embassy, three armored SUVs waited silently.

Flags hung on either side of each vehicle’s hood, and all bore foreign diplomatic plates for the embassies in Aseyah.

After shaking hands and saying goodbye to the embassy staff, Cai Xu did not get into the vehicle, bidding them farewell instead.

The three cars slowly exited the compound, speeding through the night towards the airport.

The air traffic control restrictions due to the general ban had been lifted.

But the curfew in the city continued.

The already not-so-bustling city had even fewer vehicles at night, and absolutely no pedestrians, making it seem even more deserted.

To save electricity, many places only had a fraction of the streetlights on.

The road to the airport couldn’t help but carry a sense of worry.

Even the drivers were particularly cautious, keeping away from vehicles parked by the road and suspicious items.

Because one couldn’t tell when something might just explode.

The atmosphere inside the vehicle was somewhat tense.

The security officer in the passenger seat kept his hand pressed on his gun.

Should anything happen, he was ready to counterattack.

Wu Jie and Tang Xiao sat in the back, one watching the left, the other the right.

The closer they got to the airport, the more cautious they were—the road home was fraught with trepidation.

…

Meanwhile, at this very moment.

The bidding team of Lansekor CSA was on a large intercontinental airliner soaring high above the Atlantic at ten thousand meters.

Aishin TLM and Nuoximen NSN, the respective private jets of the two companies, flew directly to Europe, which was comparatively closer.

They were both about to land at airports near their companies’ headquarters in their home countries.

Feeling upset, Thomson, after a hearty lunch, had been sleeping on the plane since takeoff.

If it weren’t for the plane about to land and some major problem arising, nobody would have dared to wake him up.

And the awoken Thomson didn’t hurry either.

He first washed his face, tidied his dress—his demeanor had to be that of a gentleman—before heading to the conference room in his sharp suit.

However…

Looks don’t last three seconds.

Just as he sat down after entering the room, he heard the news: the company’s servers had been hacked, a massive amount of confidential data stolen.

A single sentence left Thomson utterly dumbfounded.

Having failed to secure the East African SAM project, he was already in a gloomy mood.

Now, this bombshell suddenly dropped, was it trying to piss him to death?

But what infuriated him even more was…

The content of the received email.

There were pictures and facts, indeed their confidential materials.

But what the hell did that number, 1000200, mean?

“OMG!!”

“A hundred quadrillion Gold Coins!”

“Is…

Is this for real?”

“The hacker couldn’t have used the wrong unit, could they?”

“A hundred quadrillion, we could sell our entire group and still not come up with that much money!”

“Nonsense!

The total value of all the wealth in Europe isn’t even a hundred quadrillion Gold Coins!”

“If it’s not a unit error, then it must be a typo!”

Bang Bang Bang!

Thomson suddenly stretched out his hand and slammed the table.

“Never mind what he got wrong, the problem now is, who is this hacker?

What does he want to do?

Does he want to kill our group?”

“Also, have the other two partner enterprises been infiltrated?

Is there any problem with our operation service?”

“What are you standing around for?

Investigate immediately!”

No sooner had he finished speaking than someone immediately raised their hand.

“Mr.

President, I don’t think there’s any need to investigate, is there?”

“Who else could have breached layers of defenses, entered our core servers, and stolen confidential data?”

“Sending out such a terrifying extortion email asking for so much money, what they want to do, do we need to guess?”

The group’s Chief Financial Officer gave Thomson a wake-up call.

Thomson suddenly saw the light, and with a thud, he slammed the table hard.

He understood!

In a flash, he figured it all out.

Anger!

Annoyance!

Frustration!

Madness!

Fear!

Thomson was almost grinding his teeth to bits, clenching his fists until they could burst.

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!

He really underestimated those yellow-skinned monkeys!

But still…

He was not resigned.

Picking up the satellite phone, he called the senior management of the other two enterprises one after another.

The answer he got…

was of course, surprisingly consistent.

All had been infiltrated and robbed of secrets, and each had been asked to transfer a hundred quadrillion Gold Coins into a specified account within the set time!

They were really being as brazen as could be, acting all high and mighty!

After making the calls in a hurry, Thomson’s face was as dark as could be.

What to do?

The real coup was to overturn the president of Aseyah and support a compliant politician to take power.

But who would have thought…

Tang Xiao and Wu Jie would be so ruthless!

They seized their Achilles’ heel in an instant, making the three international giants passive and helpless.

Analysis!

Research!

The list of information exhibited in the email, along with some screenshots of confidential files, was genuine and lethal.

If they let these leaks become public after the deadline, the consequences were unimaginable.

The whole world would probably boil over!

Their clients would inevitably be furious, wondering why they were taken for fools and made huge illicit profits from?

Their shareholders would definitely be angry about the enormous discrepancy between the reported and actual profits due to the presence of so many corrupt officials.

…

This was an absolute, unmitigated disaster!

If exposed, the consequences were unthinkable!

We can foresee that countless people would be implicated and sent clanging into jail!

The enterprise would fall into an unprecedented crisis of trust and business.

They could very likely face a class-action lawsuit from shareholders for illegal operations and be compensated directly to death!

This kind of thing had happened before.

The Enron Company, with assets of a hundred billion Gold Coins, collapsed due to falsifying financial statements, their trading halt, a fine of five hundred million Gold Coins, and the imprisonment of many people along with multi-million Gold Coin fines, involving investment banks and accounting firms.

First of all, it led to the direct bankruptcy of Andersen, one of the so-called top five global accounting firms.

Finally, the Enron Company had to pay compensation of over seventy billion Gold Coins to investors who filed suit and thereafter collapsed with a bang.

And this was a warning from the past!

A fine and compensation of several billion Gold Coins—which was the case over a decade ago—equates to compensation and fines of over a hundred billion Gold Coins today.

So…

Even though the three international giants possessed astounding connections and strength,

there would be even more people willing to crush them!

According to their country’s laws, public companies suspected of fraud not only commit a serious crime but also face severe penalties.

Investment institutions and individual shareholders owning their shares would love to see them in trouble and then aggressively claim compensation!

Anyway, they hadn’t secured the East African SAM project, and they might even lose the entire East African market.

Human instinct is to pursue benefits and avoid harm!

When the wall falls, everyone pushes it over; it’s stupid not to take the money when it’s on offer!

Therefore.

With Tanglong Industrial Group making its move, it was truly a death blow.

It caught the three behemoths by the ‘throat’ and controlled their ‘life or death.’

The leaked confidential materials absolutely couldn’t be exposed.

Otherwise…

Enron, from a decade ago, would be their best ‘example.’

Whether to die tragically or to miraculously recover?

The once haughty and overbearing three giants,

suddenly found themselves on the edge of a cliff, possibly to die without a resting place…
