Chapter 144 Getting to the bottom of things
"Are you the one who called me?"

Li Qing asked, with a hint of indifference in his voice.

The man nodded, then said, "I'm here to discuss some cooperation with you."

"You talk first, and I'll listen."

Li Qing's tone remained indifferent.

The man smiled and said, "I heard that you have some expertise in technology and security, and I happen to have some projects that I could use your help with."

After hearing what the other party said, Li Qing couldn't help but feel confused. He didn't understand what the other party was talking about.

"What specific project is it?"

Li Qing asked, a hint of caution in his tone.

The man smiled mysteriously, and then said: "This project involves some high-tech fields, I can't explain it in detail here.

If you are willing to cooperate, we can go to a safe place to talk."

After hearing what the man said, Li Qing's doubts deepened.

He knew that this man must have some ulterior motive, but he decided to continue listening to him.

"I'm not really interested. You'd better give me a reasonable explanation, or I'm leaving!"

The man glanced at Li Qing, seemed to notice his vigilance, smiled slightly, and then nodded.

“Okay, I understand your concern.

Actually, I represent an investment company, and we are looking for capable experts to start some cooperative projects in the high-tech field.”

The man explained, a hint of sincerity in his tone.

After hearing these words, Li Qing relaxed his vigilance a little, but he still remained alert.

He knew that what the man said might not be entirely true, but he also sensed the existence of a business opportunity.

"investment company?"

Li Qing frowned: "Can you tell me specifically what this project is about?"

The man smiled and said mysteriously: "This project involves cutting-edge scientific research, and we need your expertise and technical support.

Of course, we will also give you a generous reward. "

After hearing what the man said, Li Qing's doubts deepened.

He knew that the other party was deliberately keeping it mysterious, but he also understood that this might be an opportunity, an opportunity to show his strength.

"I need more information and assurance before I can consider this collaboration."

Li Qing expressed his position firmly.

The man nodded to show his understanding.

They continued their conversation in the café, discussing various aspects of the collaboration.

Throughout the process, Li Qing kept asking questions and conducting in-depth analysis and thinking on the other party's words.

Although he still had doubts about the other party's true intentions, he decided to wait and see whether the other party could provide sufficient evidence and guarantees.

Li Qing secretly pondered over this conversation. Although the man's words sounded reasonable, he still felt that something was wrong.

To confirm his suspicions, he decided to use one of his special skills.

In Li Qing’s mobile phone, there is a special application that can redeem various items using system points.

For example, a disposable polygraph card.

This card looks ordinary, but it contains mysterious energy that can help Li Qing discover the other party's lies at the critical moment.

Li Qing secretly stared at the man sitting opposite him. He quietly reached into his pocket and took out the glowing card.

There was a small button on the card. Li Qing pressed it gently and activated its energy.

"Is what you just said true?"

Li Qing suddenly spoke, his tone calm, but his eyes revealed a hint of determination.

The man was slightly stunned, and then his expression changed slightly, as if he noticed that Li Qing was unusual. "Of course it's true, I'm not lying."

The man tried to maintain his composure, but there was a hint of unnaturalness in his voice.

At this moment, the polygraph card emitted a faint blue light and vibrated slightly.

Li Qing's heart moved, he knew that his suspicion was not groundless.

"Are you telling the truth?"

Li Qing asked again, with a hint of indifference in his tone.

The man swallowed and his eyes became a little unnatural when he looked at Li Qing.

He tried to maintain his lie, but the polygraph card ruthlessly revealed his true heart.

"How did you know?"

The man suddenly showed a look of horror. He didn't expect that his lie would be discovered by Li Qing.

Li Qing looked at him coldly, with a hint of majesty in his tone: "I don't like being deceived. If you are not sincere, there is no need for us to continue to cooperate."

When the man faced Li Qing's gaze, his heart was filled with panic and fear.

He knew that he could no longer hide the truth and had no choice but to confess and admit his mistake.

"I'm sorry, someone sent me to find you. He wanted me to find out your background and situation."

The man admitted dejectedly, a hint of regret in his voice.

When Li Qing heard this, his doubts were confirmed.

He knew there must be a bigger conspiracy behind this, but he also realized that there was no need for the man to continue hiding it.

"who's that person?"

Li Qing asked, a hint of seriousness in his voice.

Just as Li Qing was thinking about his next move, the door of the cafe was pushed open and a man in a suit walked in.

He looked smart and capable, walked steadily, and had a pair of cunning eyes with a hint of arrogance.

The man walked up to Li Qing, clapped his hands unceremoniously, and showed an expression of appreciation.

"Li Qing, you are really not simple. You can actually detect my arrangement.

Not bad."

He said with a smile, a hint of challenge in his tone.

Li Qing frowned slightly. He looked at the man in front of him and asked bluntly, "Who are you? Why are you doing this?"

The man smiled and introduced himself: "My name is Wei Sheng, the president of Huasheng Group.

Our company is also involved in the technology and security fields, and I am interested in your capabilities.”

Wei Sheng's identity made Li Qing's heart move. Huasheng Group has always been a competitor of Lin Group, and there has always been a fierce competitive relationship between the two companies.

"Why are you investigating me?"

Li Qing asked directly.

Wei Sheng smiled, with a sly look in his eyes: “We have been competing, and you are a variable.

I want to know how strong you are and whether you can be our partner or a threat."

After hearing what he said, Li Qing understood.

He knew that he had indeed attracted the attention of some different forces, and this game was far more complicated than he had imagined.

"Now that you've found me, what are your plans?"

Li Qing asked, his eyes determined.

Wei Sheng looked at Li Qing, and the smile on his face became more obvious: "I hope we can cooperate, learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses, and become the best in the industry.

Lin Group and Huasheng Group may be able to create a new world."
