Nu Xin suddenly remarked, “Lao Wang, are you logged into your internal account or your assistant Xiao Liu’s?”

Hearing this, Wang Rui shot him a glare. “Even though I’ve had a few drinks, I’m perfectly sober now. Do you think I wouldn’t know if it’s my own account?” “Then what’s going on?” Nu Xin looked bewildered at the information displayed on the desktop.

Although Fuzhou was a 4.5.6-tier city, it couldn’t withstand its high level. Wang Rui enjoyed a level 6 treatment. If even he couldn’t access this information, it spoke volumes about Zhou Chao’s background.

What Wang Rui and his companions didn’t know was that after Zhou Chao handed over the relevant technology and data on controlled nuclear fusion to the higher-ups, his security clearance was raised to the highest level. Even his online information was deleted, including the few times he had appeared publicly. Otherwise, Wang Rui’s previous investigation wouldn’t have yielded any information about Zhou Chao.

Just as Wang Rui and the others were puzzled, the landline on the desk rang. Wang Rui’s expression changed upon seeing the red phone, and even Nu Xin and the others behind him were shocked, mixed with a hint of panic.

Wang Rui glanced at Nu Xin and the others beside him. “Lao Nu, you guys step outside for a moment.”

Nu Xin and the others understood the seriousness of the situation and nodded. Without any delay, they briskly walked out, while Wang Rui picked up the phone.

Taking a deep breath to calm himself, Wang Rui said, “Hello, I’m Wang Rui.”

“Xiao Yang from the security department. You were just checking information on Zhou Chao. Please state your reason for the inquiry!”

Hearing this, Wang Rui’s heart skipped a beat. He had thought he was stepping on a landmine, but it turned out he had stepped on a massive bomb.

“This Mr. Zhou is investing in Fuzhou, buying land to build a factory, and donating ten million for education. I just wanted to confirm the relevant details!”

There was silence on the other end of the line for a while, and Wang Rui felt beads of sweat forming on his back. The slight intoxication he felt earlier vanished without a trace.

“I see. I’ll have someone follow up on this. You are not to investigate anything further about Zhou Chao, nor are you allowed to mention it to anyone else. Someone will contact you to sign a confidentiality agreement. Besides you, does anyone else know about this?”

“And my three partners!” Wang Rui promptly sold out Nu Xin and the others, quickly mentioning their names.

“Alright, let them know to be cautious. Curiosity killed the cat!” With that, the call ended.

Putting down the phone, Wang Rui slumped back in his chair, feeling drained. It took him a while to recover.

He shouted towards the direction of the door, “Lao Nu, you guys can come in now!”

Nu Xin and the others pushed open the door and walked in quickly, looking somewhat nervous as they glanced at Wang Rui.

“What’s going on, Lao Wang? Don’t scare me like that, my heart is weak!”

Wang Rui took a deep breath, looking at them. “This matter ends here. Keep Zhou Chao’s name to yourselves. Don’t bring it up again. Also, someone will contact us to sign a confidentiality agreement.”

Hearing this, the expressions of Nu Xin and the others changed. They understood the seriousness of the situation. Nu Xin opened his mouth to ask questions but swallowed them back down.

Wang Rui knew they were feeling uneasy now. They had thought they had stumbled upon a golden opportunity, but who would have thought there was such an unfathomable background behind it?

“Alright, let’s all go back. Someone will call us later.”

With a sigh, they all left the office.

On the way back, Wang Rui repeatedly instructed his secretary Xiao Liu, despite his puzzled thoughts. He buried his questions deep down.

As the secretary’s assistant, keeping confidential information was a top priority!
