Chapter 276 Threat
4 hours before being killed.

Qiao Susu stared at him and saw Han Chen clapped his hands twice, and the glass in front of Qiao Susu suddenly became transparent.

But this layer of glass is one-way. She can clearly see Ye Xi's situation, but Ye Xi cannot see what is happening on her side.

Han Chen called his assistant, turned on the speakerphone, and placed the phone in front of Qiao Susu.

There was a malicious smile on his face.

"How about I make a bet with you? What do you think Ye Xi will choose between saving you and saving herself?"

Han Chen saw Qiao Suisui clenching her fists, her expression a little stiff, her eyes fixed on Ye Xi's figure. He couldn't help but chuckle, and leisurely walked behind her, with his arms resting on her chair.

"Don't be nervous, the answer will be revealed soon."

On the other end of the phone, Han Chen's assistant said to Ye Xi coldly: "Ms. Ye, I think I don't need to introduce myself anymore."

Ye Xi looked at the other person coldly for a long time, and said: "I know you, you are a dog beside Han Chen."

The assistant was not angry, but smiled slightly.

He threw a stack of information on the table, and a few photos flew out from the scattered documents.

The protagonists of each photo are Ye Xi and an elderly man.

Ye Xi's expression changed drastically, and he raised his head suddenly: "If you want to check me, check me, don't disturb my grandma!"

She and her grandmother have been dependent on each other since childhood. Her first computer was bought with the money her grandmother saved. At the beginning, the two of them lived on the minimum living allowance in a small bungalow of 30 square meters. Her grandmother usually collected waste and sold starch sausages, balloons, and snacks at the school gate for 50 cents a bag. But her grandmother never sold at the school gate where Ye Xi was studying, because she was afraid of bringing shame to her granddaughter.

Ye Xi has had a great talent in mathematics since she was young. At the beginning, in order to please her grandmother, she would always get the first place in the class and go home with certificates. But one time, the head teacher came to her and told her grandmother that Ye Xi was a child prodigy and her education should not be delayed. She should be allowed to participate in the Mathematical Olympiad. The teacher was willing to pay the registration fee, but they had to bear the travel expenses themselves.

She had never left this small town since she was a child, and she had no idea how much it would cost to stay in a hotel, travel expenses, and food and drink for a competition in a big city. But in the eyes of little Ye Xi, that was very expensive.

Grandma didn't say anything, she just kept bowing and thanking the teacher. After that, she started leaving early and coming back late.

In order to raise money for her granddaughter's trip, the grandmother washed dishes for others but was disliked for her slowness. She also worked as a cleaner but was disliked for her age. As an old lady who had retired long ago, she could not find a way to make a living in society. Finally, the grandmother spent the whole night picking up bottles and waste along the street, carefully looking through every trash can, and dragging her worn-out snakeskin bag for a long, long way.

The 4:30 in the morning of that day was a 4:30 that Ye Xi would never forget.

She woke up and found that her grandmother was not sleeping beside her. She waited for a long time but no one showed up. She hurried out in her slippers and knocked on every door, asking everyone she met: "Have you seen my grandmother?" "Have you seen my grandmother?"

Finally, grandma walked back slowly with the rising sun, carrying a bulging snakeskin bag on her back. She was walking in the opposite direction of the rising sun, her back hunched, her wrinkled hands tightly grasping the mouth of the snakeskin bag.

When grandma saw Ye Xi sitting on the steps, she smiled kindly.

"Xiao Xi, I have the travel expenses."

From that day on, Ye Xi stopped showing off her talent. She cut her hair short, put on dull black-framed glasses, and rarely talked to her peers. She did not go to a big city to participate in the competition, but used her family's money and borrowed from neighbors to buy a computer.

She began to deliberately maintain her mediocre grades, taught herself computer skills during breaks, and within half a year she was able to answer private calls using the code she wrote. During her adolescence, Ye Xi took on the responsibility of supporting her family.

Fortunately, grandma has always been in good health, and the lives of the grandparents and grandchildren are getting better and better thanks to Ye Xi's efforts.

After finishing middle school, Ye Xi decided to drop out of school because she had more important things to do, which was to stop letting her grandmother pick up bottles.

Qiao Suisui saw that Ye Xi became very excited after seeing the photo. The assistant's voice continued to come from the phone -

"Ms. Ye, I hope you will think it over carefully. Since you terminated your contract with INF, you no longer have any rights related to this game. Your repeated actions have completely crossed the red line and constituted a leak of commercial secrets. Our company reserves the right to pursue your legal responsibility."

The assistant changed the subject and said, "But if you sign this agreement, we will not pursue the matter any further."

He took out an agreement, but Ye Xi couldn't read it at all. He only saw a line of bold words. He looked at the other party angrily and said, "You want me to commit perjury?"

"So what? As long as you attribute all your actions today to your friend who instigated you, the follow-up of this matter will have nothing to do with you. You can still continue to do your old job and take care of your grandmother in her old age."

Ye Xi gritted her teeth and yelled, "But this game is my idea! I designed everything! I didn't understand the law at the beginning and you took advantage of me and tricked me into buying out the copyright!"

The assistant had a ridiculous expression on his face. "Without INF's technical and financial support, you only have a prototype. How can you achieve the scale you have today? Besides, those players are all empty and hungry losers like you. We spent a lot of money to make this game to fill their hearts, and you are still talking about your self-worth in the live broadcast. It's ridiculous."

Seeing Ye Xi speechless, the assistant picked up the pen and handed it to her, saying, "Sign it, why are you struggling? As long as you sign, the responsibility will be borne by your friend, and it has nothing to do with you. In addition, Mr. Han will give you an extra million for your contribution to the company."

Here, Han Chen looked at the solemn expression on Qiao Susui's face and smiled more deeply: "How about it? What do you think Ye Xi will choose?"

Han Chen's eyes were full of provocation.

Qiao Suisui looked at Ye Xi who was separated by a wall and said, "I believe her. No matter what she chooses, we are friends."

Han Chen smiled, looking somewhat disdainful: "Naivety is good, but going too far is stupidity."

Ye Xi in another meeting room slowly took the pen, and the assistant smiled with satisfaction.

Ye Xi's hands began to tremble. It was very slight at first, but the trembling became more and more severe, and even his shoulders began to shake.

The assistant saw the girl in front of him with her head down, thinking she was crying because she was too sad. He was about to say something, but saw Ye Xi raised her head, and the eyes behind the black-framed glasses were surprisingly bright.

"you"

"Hahahahahahaha, that's enough. I can't go on any further." Ye Xi held his stomach and laughed, wiping the physiological tears from the corners of his eyes with his fingers.

Han Chen's expression changed slightly and he looked at Qiao Susu.

She was seen sitting upright in the chair, without any of the solemnity and despair she had just shown.

The assistant was obviously surprised by Ye Xi's reaction: "What are you talking about?"
