Chapter 891
Hearing this, Frederic''s face turned livid.
The two remaining bombs on Frederic''s body were still ticking away, which distracted Marinos.
When he saw that Henry seemed to have no intention of helping him, he frowned and the smile on
his face disappeared. He said, "Sir, I hope you understand that it is not me asking you to protect our
apanying professors, but yourpany has received the money for ensuring their security.
This is what you should do. Do you understand? If anything happens to Professor Qiu, your Lins
Group will not be able to afford it!"
Henry reached out his right hand and cleaned his ear with his little finger. He said, "100 million yuan
for security? Howe our Lins Group doesn''t know about this? I remember that Professor Qiu
seemed to think that our security system was too weak at that time. He found a securitypany
by himself. You should have asked the securitypany that Professor Qiu found to protect him,
not our Lins Group."
Hearing Henry''s words, the faces of Marinos and Frederic changed at the same time.
Marinos''s expression turned a little dumbfounded.
As for Frederic, he lowered his head as if he had done something wrong.
After Marinos came to his senses, he looked at Frederic with a frown and questioned him,
"Professor Qiu, what do you mean by doing this? Who allowed you to go to look for the security
company by yourself?"
Marinos, as the representative of the research centre, was certainly not a fool. He just thought
about it for a moment and could understand why Frederic found a securitypany by himself.
This time, the security funds allocated by the higher authorities were one hundred million yuan.
Although this one hundred million yuan was a kind of security funds, in fact, it was just a kind of
subsidy for the Lins Group. Such arge sum of money would easily make people envious.
Frederic lowered his head and stuttered for a long time before he said, "I, I saw that thements
about the security of the Lins Group were not very good, so..."
"You were looking at thements?" Marinos interrupted Frederic without any reservation. "Which
securitypany did you hire?" "It... It..." Frederic hemmed and hawed for a long time, and his
eyes kept rolling in the rims of his eyes. He could not say anything.
"It''s a servicepany!" Marinos looked at Frederic coldly. "Professor Qiu, you''re experienced. You
know the rules very well. You''ve heard of this kind of thing several times. You know what had
happened to those people. Don''t you understand, Professor Qiu? You''re breaking thew!"
Frederic suddenly raised his head with a pale face. He was even more frightened now than he was
by the bombs moments ago. "Professor Xue, I''ve been in a daze for a while!"
"Enough!" Marinos waved his hand. "You don''t have to tell me about this. You know very well what
the consequences will be, and it has nothing to do with me. I think it''s most important for you to
think about how to survive!"
Marinos flung his sleeves away, looking as if he didn''t want to care about it anymore.
On the other side, the ticking of the bomb became even more urgent, and the ticking sound was like
a reminder of death.
Marinos''s eyes showed irritation, and he nced at Frederic from time to time.
Hearing the constant counting, Frederic began to tremble involuntarily with a helpless look on his
face.
When the countdown of the bomb was only one minute away, Marinos, who stood there silently,
said to Frederic again, "What are you doing? Hurry up and give the security money to President Lin.
Do you think that the securitypany you have found can be better than the Lins?"
Marinos saw that Frederic''s brain had gone nk and hecked the ability to think, so he couldn''t
help but urge him.
Hearing this, Frederic shivered. He quickly looked in the direction of Henry and Sylvia and begged,
"President Lin, it was I who failed to recognize your abilities. Please don''t take it to heart, President
Lin."
Sylvia didn''t answer. Instead, she looked at Henry.
"It''s hard to say." Henry shrugged indifferently. "But as you know, our Lins Group is doing business.
Since Professor Qiu wants to hire our securitypany now, we must follow the rules regarding the
expenses. We can''t get a penny less than 100 million yuan."
"Of course, of course!" Frederic nodded repeatedly. At the moment, he had no time to think at all.
He would agree to any request without hesitation.
At this moment, there were only thirty seconds left.
Marinos couldn''t help but take a few steps back.
Hearing Frederic''s agreement, Henry grinned. He took out a paper contract and a pen from his
pocket and said, "Okay, since you don''t object, let''s sign the contract as soon as possible."
"Sign! Sign!" Frederic looked at the timer that only showed twenty seconds left and nodded
repeatedly. He took the pen and documents from Henry andid them on the ground to sign without
paying attention to the content. It could be seen that Frederic''s hand holding the pen was trembling.
He had written a name that he had written many times. He took a few deep breaths and then wrote
it down.
When Frederic signed the contract, there were only ten seconds left on the countdown. The
numbers on the timer were like sickles that could take one''s life away.
"Okay." Henry nodded and put the agreement away with satisfaction. "Okay, Professor Qiu, that''s it.
Remember to transfer the money to the ount of ourpany before 12 o''clock tonight."
"Please, please, help me deactivate it!" Frederic''s eyes turned red and his face was filled with
pleading. There were only two seconds left on the timer.
"No hurry." Henry stretched.
Marinos looked at the numbers on the timer that jumped to 1 in an instant. He no longer cared
about anything else and ran.
Frederic closed his eyes hard and clenched his teeth.
"Beep beep!"
As a light sound came into Frederic''s ears, he felt weak in his legs and sat down on the ground. A
large pool of water spilt out from his body.
The timer on time bomb became zero.
At the same time, Captain Richard''s voice rang out.
"Good. Let''s call it a day. You all did a good job in today''s manoeuvre. Thank you for all your hard
work!"

The voice of Captain Richard clearly reached Frederic''s and Marinos''s ears.
Marinos, who was running wildly, suddenly stopped. He stood on the spot and turned around.
Frederic sat paralyzed on the ground and wet his pants. He opened his eyes slowly and murmured,
"Ma... manoeuvre?"
"Yes, it''s just a manoeuver." Captain Richard said, "Professor Qiu, we didn''t inform you in advance.
Please don''t me us. This is also a way to strengthen your self-defence."
