Chapter 247 Wanting to Escalate the Situation but Being Sanctioned Two days later.
Early in the morning, Tiffany was summoned to Edmund's office.
Edmund handed Tiffany a computer filled with gibberish. However, Tiffany immediately recognized it as a company's internal firewall program. If she could break through this firewall, she could steal all the company's secrets.
It seemed Edmund was ready to make a move.
"Tiffany, you know what I want, don't you?" Edmund's meaning was clear: he wanted Tiffany to break the firewall as soon as possible.
Tiffany frowned at the computer. She already knew what to do when she saw the gibberish.
But Edmund was impatient, starting with a small company.
Could something unexpected have happened in the past two days? "Did something happen outside?" Tiffany took the computer, sat down, and looked up at Edmund, asking seriously.
She knew that if she asked, Edmund wouldn't hide anything from her.
Sure enough.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEdmund threw out a report, his face looking grim.
"I don't know which robot went out of control and got caught by this company. They suspect we're deliberately using high-tech to create human-like robots to replace everyone and want to report us. I tried to solve it with money, but they wouldn't take it, so we have to bankrupt them." The more Tiffany listened, the more nervous she became. It seemed Edmund wasn't planning to give this company any way out.
"Why don't you just acquire the company?" Tiffany looked at Edmund in confusion. This seemed like the best solution.
After all, acquiring a company could also make its people work for you. "They don't deserve it!" A flash of malice appeared in Edmund's eyes. He clearly wasn't planning to let this company off the hook. Tiffany knew Edmund's vengeful nature well. It was best not to provoke him, or he might do something unexpected.
As Tiffany worked on decrypting the firewall, she realized it was quite simple to break in. However, she didn't want to do it too quickly, so she deliberately dragged it out. Every half hour, Edmund would glance at his phone, growing increasingly impatient. "Do you really need that long, Tiffany? I remember you being faster than this!" Edmund's suspicious tone made Tiffany realize she couldn't delay any longer.
She quickly decrypted the program and handed the computer back to him, pulling up the company's information. "Everything's here. Take a look. I'm leaving now." "Okay." Edmund's attention was entirely on the computer, not noticing the calculation in Tiffany's eyes.
After leaving, Tiffany immediately went to find Steven. Just as she was looking for a place away from the cameras, she ran into Lauren and Ulysses.
They weren't surprised to see Tiffany and Steven together.
Lauren quickened her pace and whispered in Tiffany's ear.
"Did the boss ask you to decrypt the firewall?" Tiffany nodded.
"What exactly happened? Why does this seem so sudden? How did a robot end up on the street and get discovered by that small company? Was this a setup?" Tiffany voiced her doubts. Lauren glanced at Ulysses before nodding. "Tiffany, Ulysses arranged this." Lauren's words made Tiffany look at Ulysses in surprise.
"You? But why would you do that, Ulysses? I remember you and Edmund are in cahoots, and you want to take down the Cooper group and Leon. Staying at Global Nexus Corporation gives you that chance. Aren't you afraid Edmund will find out?" Hearing Tiffany's concern, Ulysses felt pleased, thinking she was worried about him. "Are you worried about me? Don't worry, I'm meticulous. No one will find out. Letexplain everything..." Edmund's mind wasn't on them, giving them a chance to exchange information.
Ulysses began recounting what he'd done over the past few days.
He had gone to the robot lab and noticed a malfunctioning machine. Ulysses saw that the robot was modeled after the small company's boss. Once the robot was fully functional, it could completely replace that person. But an accident occurred, and the robot was about to be destroyed and reprogrammed with a new identity.
Ulysses had an idea and unplugged the robot when no one was looking.
Unexpectedly, the malfunctioning robot had its own thoughts. It booted up, processed the memories input into its mind, and believed it was the small company's boss. Ulysses helped it leave the lab.
By the tthe researchers noticed, the robot was long gone.
They didn't dare inform Edmund immediately. After all, when "Leon" left the lab, they had been scolded by Edmund and warned that if it happened again, they would pay the price.

When "Leon" left the lab, he only wandered nearby because his memory was incomplete.
But the missing robot had all its memories fully input and could act like a normal person. Finally, the researchers used a locator to pinpoint the robot's location.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut someone had turned off the robot's locator, making it impossible to find.
If the robot was nearby, they could have activated the shutdown program, stopping all its activities. But they couldn't even see the robot! As for the robot, it used its memories to find the small company.
The employees thought their boss was there for an inspection and greeted the robot.
The robot responded normally.
Then the real boss showed up.
When he stood next to the robot, it was like looking in a mirror, scaring the employees.
Eventually, the boss saw a label on the robot's back that read"Manufactured by Global Nexus Corporation."
Of course, Ulysses had put that label there to make the Global Nexus Corporation and blow things up. The content is on.
novelenglish.net! The boss, experienced in business, wasn't fooled by Global Nexus Corporation's tactics.
He made a scene at the company, and Edmund scolded the researchers harshly.
If Edmund hadn't contained the situation quickly, it would have becwidely known.
But the boss wasn't planning to let Edmund off, prompting Edmund to target his company. Tiffany was shocked after hearing all this, looking at Ulysses in disbelief. "Ulysses, why did you do this?"
