Mr. Domitos closed his eyes and drank up the small bottle in one go.
Carla quickly brought him warm water to rinse his mouth.
"What the hell is this? It's bitter, smelly, and astringent!"
The taste of the solution had Mr. Domitos frowning with a twisted facial expression.
"It's just a laxative to treat constipation…"
As soon as Carla finished speaking, Mr. Domitos started to look odd and he shouted, "Quickly, help me to the toilet!"
"Hurry, hurry!" Naya hastily notified the male doctors outside.
Several male doctors came in to help, and Naya took Carla outside to wait.
Carla paced around the corridor anxiously like a father waiting for his wife to give birth.
Half an hour later, a male doctor walked out and announced emotionally, "It came out!"
"Huh? The chip is purged?" Carla asked excitedly.
"Yes…" The male doctor took the chip with tweezers and held it up high. "It's finally out!"
"That's great!"
Carla almost jumped up in excitement.
Forty minutes later, Carla took the chip to the president's office on the 68th floor…
Never before had Carla beamed so proudly that she almost laughed out loud thinking of the one million that would be paid imminently.
"Mr. Giblo, I have the chip!"
Standing before the office desk, Carla held out the box in a ritualistic gesture.
Inside the box was the golden chip which had cost billions to locate. Finally, it was returned in good condition…
After a while, Zayn looked away from the tablet and up at Carla.
His glance was rather cold; it was not a look of surprise and gratitude Carla had expected.
"What's the matter?" Carla felt uneasy.
Zayn did not speak but coldly made a gesture.
Benard stepped forward and took the chip. He then skillfully installed the connector and linked it up to the computer.
The Whyte wall behind Zayn suddenly turned into a projection screen showing the S-shaped logo that represented Divine Corporation. Right after that, a circle was seen spinning…
Carla craned her neck and looked over curiously. What exactly is inside this priceless chip?
However, after spinning for a long time, the circle did not go away.
Beep—
Bang! A loud noise sounded, the screen flickered, and finally, smoke started coming out of the computer.
Carla was startled and quickly backed away.
Benard stepped forward to turn off the power and took out the chip that was now scorched and deformed.
"Wh-what's going on?" Carla asked in astonishment.
Benard looked at Zayn, and after receiving approval, he explained, "In order to prevent someone from stealing the secrets in the chip, we have added a self-destructing feature to it. Once the chip has been stolen for ten days, it will automatically destroy itself."
"Huh?" Carla opened her eyes widely and was stunned for a while before recovering her senses. "It's been almost a month since the chip was lost. So…you know that it is useless to get the chip back. Why do you still put in so much effort to find it?"
"If we don't continue searching, how will our opponents lower their guard?" Benard asked back.
"Just because of this?" Carla could not understand. "Then why make me go to Mr. Domitos…"
"As long as the chip is in his system, Mr. Domitos will be under surveillance, " Benard explained, "Mr. Giblo is only protecting him."
"Th-then tomorrow's event…" Carla asked in a panic, "The chip is now destroyed. What are you going to do?"
"On the seventh day after the chip was stolen, I made a new chip to replace it."
Zayn took out the new chip from his phone, which was precisely the same as the previous one…
"So that's why you firmly said during Wednesday's meeting that the chip would be back before dark today…" Carla suddenly came to a realization. "But the new chip has always been in your hands!
