the other side.
Just as Qiu Bingrui was worried that Fang Zhengkang would succumb to the pressure and betray Aurora Company's secrets.
While hiding away to focus on developing the "super destructive bomb," Ishino was not idle either.
He had his men contact several international mercenary groups with incredible efficiency through anonymous transactions.
The mission of these mercenary teams was to target several secret research bases under the Aurora Corporation and obtain the core research data contained therein.
This is the "timely loss-cutting" method that Shi Ye came up with—to get his hands on Qiu Bingrui's achievements that were scattered in different baskets.
Then quickly convert it into cash on the black market.
In this way, even if Qiu Bingrui fails this time and Aurora Company goes bankrupt as a result, it won't all benefit the Great Qian Dynasty.
At the very least, Ishino could sell these core technical documents for a high price on the black market.
You should know that the research data from these projects conducted by the secret research bases under Aurora Corporation, which Qiu Bingrui intended to use for revenge, are extremely valuable.
Once you get these things, you won't have to worry about selling them on the black market!

The Imperial Capital – Headquarters of the Imperial Security Agency.
"Reporter Rong, could you tell me the source of this video you have?"
Min Wenyao, the director of the Imperial Security Administration, personally served Rong Xinyuan a cup of strong tea that had been brewed: "Our Security Administration's black tea not only tastes good, but it is also particularly invigorating."
"Thank you. I've heard for a long time that the tea from your Security Administration is incredibly effective at boosting energy."
"This is the first time I've had the chance to taste it today." Rong Xinyuan smiled, picked up the teacup, and blew on the steam.
"To be honest, the video I broadcast on the show was obtained from an information broker for a high price of 200 million yuan."
Rong Xinyuan did not deliberately conceal the source of the exposed video: "However, there are rules in every industry, and Director Min should know that as well."
"I can't just buy someone's things and then 'sell' them, can I?"
"Besides, I don't actually know their real identity."
"Those who work in this line of work usually use aliases and fake identities when they travel around the world."
"Okay!" Min Wenyao nodded. "I understand!"
"Anyway, the source of this video isn't important right now."
"The important thing is whether the content of this video is true."
"The forensic report provided by reporter Rong and the results of our Imperial Security Agency's re-examination of the video have both confirmed that there are no signs of forgery in the video."
"To be honest, we activated our emergency plan and took a series of measures as soon as your program aired."
Min Wenyao looked at Rong Xinyuan, who had been invited to the Imperial Security Administration, and said solemnly, "I'm sure you already know, reporter Rong, that we are conducting a comprehensive inspection of the 'Aurora X All-Round Assistive Robot' involved in the incident."
"The testing team included not only Aurora Company's technical team and our Imperial Security Agency's testing team."
"We also invited the industry's top third-party testing team to participate in the testing of the 'Aurora X All-Around Assistive Robot' throughout the entire process."
"Furthermore, we recorded the entire testing process."
"If needed, or if anyone questions the final test results, we can release the video recording of the testing process at any time."
"Director Min, I personally appreciate and approve of the Imperial Security Agency's attitude in handling this issue."
Rong Xinyuan nodded in satisfaction: "To be honest, Director Min, before I came to your Security Administration to report after the program ended, I had already prepared for the worst."
"The worst-case scenario?" Min Wenyao immediately asked, "The worst-case scenario that Reporter Rong is referring to is not the belief that our Imperial Security Administration will renege on its promises, is it?"
"To be honest—I'm talking about a situation that's even more serious and worse than this!"
Rong Xinyuan smiled: "I'm even prepared to be threatened, intimidated, or even tortured by you as soon as I arrive at the Imperial Security Administration, so that you'll 'refute' the rumors for me..."
"Oh?"
"Does Reporter Rong think that our Imperial Security Agency is so worthless?"
"And yet, you've already entertained the worst thoughts, and you still dare to come alone?"
Why didn't you bring a lawyer with you, instead choosing to go alone again?
"Perhaps it's because—deep down, I still want to believe in your Imperial Security Agency..."
Rong Xinyuan laughed and said, "Of course, the main practical reason is that this matter has now become known to the whole world."
"Not only are the people of the world closely watching the vulnerability incident of the 'Aurora X All-Round Assist Robot,' but His Majesty must also be paying attention to the progress of this matter, right?"
"This matter has already reached the highest levels of authority..."
"I believe that even if there are corrupt individuals within the Imperial Security Agency, they wouldn't dare to go too far under these circumstances, would they?"
"So, I came by myself..."
Rong Xinyuan shrugged: "My guiding principle has always been—as long as it upholds justice in the world, I, Rong Xinyuan, am willing to pay any price! Including my life!"
"If I can die on the road of upholding justice, then I, Rong Xinyuan, will have died a worthy death."
"Therefore, I can face such dangerous work with a very calm attitude every time I encounter it."
"I had long heard of Rongda reporter's reputation as an 'ambassador of justice'."
"Seeing you today, you truly live up to your reputation..."
Min Wenyao said with a wry smile, "Reporter Rong, your program today has really mobilized the entire State Security Administration."
"Due to the collapse of the 'Aurora X All-Round Assist Robot,' we have urgently suspended the use of all 'Aurora X All-Round Assist Robots.'"
"And what followed was—the entire Imperial Security Agency had its vacations canceled......................."
“I’m very sorry about this,” Rong Xinyuan said with a smile, “but if I had to choose again, I would still do the same thing.”
"I'm sorry to have caused so many people to have to postpone their vacations..."
“You’re right, Reporter Rong,” Min Wenyao said helplessly. “Compared to finding the truth and understanding the problems with the ‘Aurora X All-Around Assistive Robot,’ these little things are utterly insignificant and incomparable…”
"By the way, while conducting a comprehensive inspection of the 'Aurora X All-Round Assistive Robot'."
"We are also conducting inquiries and investigations into relevant personnel, including Qiu Bingrui, the chairman of Aurora Company."
"Although I have already stated my attitude toward this matter."
"However, in front of Reporter Rong, I still want to reiterate my position on behalf of the Imperial Security Administration in my capacity as the Director of the Imperial Security Administration."
"Regarding all investigations into the 'Aurora X All-Round Assist Robot' vulnerability incident, our Imperial Security Agency will adhere to the principles of 'fairness and impartiality, and seeking truth from facts'!"
"If there are really problems with the 'Aurora X All-Around Assist Robot,' our Imperial Security Agency will absolutely not shirk its responsibilities!"
"Those responsible should bear whatever responsibility they are supposed to bear, and they should be dealt with accordingly!"
"There will absolutely be no favoritism or malicious cover-up!"
"If these problems arise, I, Min Wenyao, will immediately resign from my post and assume all the responsibilities I should bear."
"With Director Min's clear stance, I think this matter will surely have a final result soon."
Rong Xinyuan smiled and said, "To be honest, the attitude that Director Min is showing now has actually surprised me."
"After all, I have dealt with many other departments of the imperial court in my career."
"However, the Imperial Security Agency's handling of this matter is absolutely the best among all of them..."
"Oh, right!"
As he spoke, Rong Xinyuan placed a small USB drive on the table: "This USB drive contains the materials and instructions I have compiled."
"This contains a complete and detailed record of the 'Aurora X All-Round Assist Robot' vulnerability incident."
"I think this should still be of some use to the investigation that your Imperial Security Agency is currently conducting..."
"Is this a complete collection of materials personally compiled by Reporter Rong?"
Min Wenyao picked up the USB drive, looked at it, and then handed it to his assistant: "Thank you very much, reporter Rong, for your help."
"Besides the routine inquiry, there's another matter we hope you can cooperate with when we invite Reporter Rong here."
"Oh? How does the Imperial Security Agency want me to cooperate?"
"I am willing to cooperate actively as long as it is conducive to finding out the truth and does not violate principles."
"But I must make it clear first—I will absolutely not cooperate in a way that violates my principles..."
“Of course.” Min Wenyao said solemnly, “I already said that such a thing will absolutely not happen.”
"Reporter Rong, please don't misunderstand."
"We invited you here just so you could act as our inspection and supervision notary."
Min Wenyao then explained: "Although our testing of the 'Aurora X All-Around Assistive Robot' involved in the case was conducted under the premise of full monitoring and the participation of a third-party testing team."
"However, reporter Rong is the one who exposed the vulnerability of the 'Aurora X All-Around Assistive Robot'."
"We feel that you are the most suitable person to serve as the on-site inspection and supervision notary."
With you, the "ambassador of justice," present, everyone will have more faith in the final test results.
"This will also reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble for us."
“I see…” Rong Xinyuan nodded: “I’m sorry, it seems I misunderstood earlier.”
"If this is how the Imperial Security Agency wants me to cooperate, then of course I would be more than happy to do so."
"By the way, Director Min."
Rong Xinyuan then asked, "While I'm watching the testing of the 'Aurora X All-Round Assistive Robot,' may I do a live broadcast to create a program?"
"Wouldn't the test results be more convincing in that case?"
"Reporter Rong, we really can't agree to your request right now."
Min Wenyao shook his head: "After all, the 'Aurora X All-Around Assist Robot' is a police product exclusively used by our Imperial Security Agency."
"We invited reporter Rong to serve as the on-site supervisor and impartial judge for the testing today in order to avoid showing the testing process of the 'Aurora X All-Around Assistive Robot' to the public as much as possible."
"After all, such a demonstration would expose the core technological secrets of the 'Aurora X All-Around Assistive Robot'..."
“That’s true…” Rong Xinyuan didn’t press the issue further: “I’m sorry, I didn’t think it through.”
"Director Min, I am very willing to serve as the testing and supervision impartial officer."
"If there's anything I don't understand, can I ask the technical staff questions on the spot?"
“Of course.” Min Wenyao nodded: “During the entire supervision process, Reporter Rong can ask whatever questions she wants; we will not restrict her.”
"Great! Perfect timing, I can do an exclusive episode on this topic."
“Oh! Of course—I’m also aware of the Imperial Security Agency’s secrecy protocols.”
"We will absolutely not allow any content that shouldn't be on the show to appear!"
"Reporter Rong truly deserves the title of 'Ambassador of Justice,' never forgetting her work..."
With that, Min Wenyao stood up: "Reporter Rong, if you have no other questions, please come with me."
"By the way! Reporter Rong just finished her program, she probably hasn't eaten yet, right?"
"This testing should take several more hours to complete. Would you like to grab a quick late-night snack before you go?"
"Thank you, Director Min, but no need. I basically don't feel hungry once I start working."
"Okay! Please come with me, I'll take you there myself."
"The testing site is right next door..."
"Director Min, am I not allowed to bring my recording equipment in either?" Rong Xinyuan asked as he quickly caught up with Min Wenyao.
"Bringing your recording equipment in won't make a difference."
Min Wenyao smiled and said, "The testing site has a shielding device."
"Apart from the dedicated recording equipment installed on-site, none of your recording devices are working properly there..."
