    "Got it," Spencer answered.


    After Spencer left, Damon received a call from Tim.


    "Damon, what''s going on with Nyce Tech''s Gxy chip? Did someone in yourpany really leak the Agihop 6th Gen''s data?" Tim asked.


    Six months earlier, Tim had learned about Prospectus Technology''s ns for the Agihop 6th Gen. The fact that Gxy''s breakthroughs mirrored those ns exactly felt far too coincidental.


    "Most likely, yes. I''m currently investigating who leaked the core data," Damon replied.


    Tim''s voice carried a mix of amusement and casualness. "Even if you find the culprit, it''ll take a long time to resolve in court.


    "At this rate, it''s uncertain whether the Agihop 6th Gen willunch next year. This won''t affect our joint investment in the new energy vehicle project, will it?"


    Damon''s gaze darkened. "Don''t worry. It won''t."


    "Good to know. Well, I wish you luck with the investigation. I''ve got a meeting soon, so I''ll let you go," Tim said.


    After hanging up, Damon ced his phone down and walked to the window, gazing at the bustling traffic below. His expression was grim.


    Soon after, Falcon sent an update-bad news.


    Despite investigating everyone with ess to the Agihop 6th Gen''s data, including cleaning staff and their families, they found no evidence of recentrge transactions or new properties.


    "What''s the next step?" Spencer asked, visibly uneasy.


    If they couldn''t prove that Nyce Tech had stolen the Agihop 6th Gen''s data, Prospectus Technology''s multibillion-dor investment in the project would be at risk.


    This setback was far more damaging than the issues with the Agihop 5th Gen''s ipatibility with Longbow''s machinery.


    No one would favor apany that couldn''tunch new products.


    Even if they managed to develop the Agihop 7th Gen, it would take billions and years of research. By then, newpanies would rece Prospectus Technology.


    "Keep investigating. There''ll be


    traces once there''s a transaction Damon said, his voice cold. "Shift focus. Investigate any employees who''ve had contact with Nyce Tech recently."


    Spencer nodded. "Understood."


    Damon rubbed his temples, the weight of fatigue pressing on him. "Go."


    That evening, N learned about Nyce Tech''s Gxyunch. As their stock prices surged, Prospectus Technology''s continued to plummet. Her brows furrowed slightly.


    "N, I heard some rumors. Should I tell you?" Leon asked.


    N nced at him. "What rumors?"


    "People are saying Nyce Techunched Gxy using stolen core data from Prospectus Technology''s Agihop 6th Gen. But it''s just hearsay, and Nyce Tech has already stated they sue anyone who started the rumor," Leon said.


    N pressed her lips together and replied calmly, "Until the truthes out, don''t believe anything. Let''s


    focus on our work. This doesn''t concern us much."


    Noting her unperturbed demeanor, Leon nodded. "Got it."


    After work, for the first time, N didn''t wait for Damon in her office. Instead, she went straight to the top floor to find him.


    When Damon saw her, his eyes shed with surprise. "Didn''t I tell you to head home early tonight?"
