206 Ch. 206 Strange Videos

As Anxia had expected, Richard was currently holding an important meeting with his company’s director and general manager. For some reason, the number of shares he owned suddenly dropped overnight, causing everyone with a stock presentation to panic.

At first, he thought that only the robotics company Calvin in London had suffered losses, but he was wrong. Not only the branch in London, his father’s subsidiaries in Birmingham, New York, and China also experienced the same decline.

Richard even had to hold a video conference with Raymond, Andrew, and Ariel Lin, who held each company’s branches in their countries. Not long after, Richard received a report from a member of the Cerberus team that someone was deliberately toying with stock figures through horrible rumors.

There was a video where a mini robot produced by TRH—Twin R Harmonie Industries experienced a severe error and attacked its owner. This video spread like a virus until Cerberus members are overwhelmed to stop the spread of this video. Someone cleverly distributed the video when everyone was asleep, so they had no preparation to anticipate this video attack.

As a result, the shares owned by TRH Industries have plummeted, and there is very little chance of getting back up.

After struggling in front of a computer screen for a long time, one of the newest Cerberus members managed to destroy all the videos and embed a virus program that would instantly stop uploading videos that contained the same as the previous ones.

Ling Meng smiled broadly when she heard praise from one of her colleagues. Even though Ling Meng still couldn’t walk and would probably be paralyzed for the rest of her life, the girl didn’t give up on surviving.

She might not be able to travel around the world like she used to, but by becoming a member of Cerberus, her eyes could see hidden places she had never seen before.

Because of that, she had no regrets about joining the Cerberus team. During the two years she worked in this hidden place that was the main headquarters of the Cerberus team, Ling Meng came to know that their superior, the Guardian Angel, was none other than Richard Calvin, the husband of her best friend.

.....

That was why she wouldn’t let anyone who tried to attack Richard because that would also mean indirectly attacking Anxia. Ling Meng loved Anxia even more than herself, and she wouldn’t stop until she found the main culprit who spread the video in the first place.

Meanwhile, Richard, who was still in a video call meeting with the top leaders of each subsidiary, heard Ariel Lin’s shocking report.

“The IT team found traces of the virus implanted in the Elios robotic system. This robot is supposed to help humans to cook, but instead of cooking, this robot uses a kitchen knife to attack all the house inhabitants. As soon as no targets enter the vision camera, Elios deactivates itself.”

“Have you investigated what kind of virus was implanted?”

“Yes. But the encryption code for this virus is so unique that no one from the IT team can crack it.”

“Send it to me through our hidden network. I’ll try to crack it.”

“Yes, sir,” said Ariel before she ordered her assistant to do what Richard asked.

“What should we do now? We must ease the public’s unrest in the system of errors in our products.” Raymond couldn’t think of a solution now and hoped his intelligent brother could find a way.

“We must think of a solution as soon as possible before other people demand compensation or return our products.” Andrew agreed to Raymond’s suggestion, yet he needed to know the best solution.

“Sir, you may want to take a look at this.” Thijs, Richard’s longtime assistant, handed over a tablet to show a video.

There was another video that showed the error in one of its products. This time, one of the production robots moved out of the house and walked towards the main road blocking the vehicles passing by.

As soon as a car hit the robot, the robot exploded, killing the victims nearby, making Richard’s eyes widen in disbelief.

It was impossible for the robot to explode on such a large scale. Moreover, Richard was sure that all products produced by TRH Industries do not have an electrical tension capable of creating an explosion.

What is this? Did someone deliberately make fake videos to bring down their company?

“Where is this video from? Has this video also spread?” Richard’s demands on Thijs prompt the other three leaders to search for the latest viral videos quickly.

However, the three of them found nothing and asked Richard in confusion.

“What kind of videos? Why do you look so tense?”

“Mr. Richard,” Thijs answered first before Richard answered his twin brother’s question. “Our members managed to prevent the video upload and tamper with the source in a nit time.”

‘Our members?’ Richard immediately understood that the ‘our members’ Thijs was his Cerberus team. Thijs was a member of his trusted Cerberus team and the only person who didn’t fake his death and has worked by Richard’s side all these years.

“Not important. We’d better think of a way out of this problem before our company is forcibly closed. Thijs, find out the background in the first video and this video. Investigate the area and find out the truth. If an explosion occurred, there should be reports of injuries.”

“Yes, sir.”

They all discussed each other seriously dealing with this emergency problem without Richard realizing that his wife had been trying to contact him. They even forget about lunchtime and ignore hunger because their whole body wants to finish the viral video attacking them as soon as possible.

Imperceptibly, the sky began to turn cloudy, and many clouds covered the bright sun. It was evening; Lori had also gone home and was now resting in her room. Anxia, ??who still couldn’t reach her husband, decided to give up and collect the test result herself.

Although she felt a bit disappointed, Anxia didn’t feel irritated because she understood when her husband focused his attention on his work. Besides, Richard rarely came to the office and only came twice a week to be with her. Hence, Anxia had no choice but to return to the hospital without her husband accompanying her.
