Chapter 58 How dare he come to see me!

Wang Qing'er stammered, "After turning it over and over in my mind, I finally concluded that using water to manufacture silicon wafers has the lowest cost. Because Earth's oceans are inexhaustible, it is practically impossible for humanity to use them up with our current capabilities."

"Furthermore, using water to make silicon wafers can create an eco-friendly cycle, which aligns even better with the nation's carbon-recycling philosophy."

"But just as I was preparing to register the patent..."

Zhao Tiezhu's heart skipped a beat.

"Surely someone hasn't registered it in advance, have they?"

Wang Qing'er's face also turned completely pale.

"Yes!"

"Someone registered water-based silicon wafers in advance, and the person who registered it turned out to be Professor Ji!"

"Mr. Zhang Fan, it's that Professor Ji who had a fallout with you some time ago."

Zhang Fan narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Go on."

Wang Qing'er was already burning with anxiety and could never maintain her composure the way Zhang Fan did.

"And I discovered something that terrified me to the core. Not only did he register the water-based silicon wafer patent, but he also registered all one thousand methods of silicon wafer production found in the book as his own patents."

"Mr. Zhang Fan, what should we do?"

"We can't develop any silicon wafers at all right now. Producing even a single piece would be equivalent to infringing on his patent rights, and we would have to pay a massive amount in damages."

A playful smile appeared on Zhang Fan's face.

Seeing that he could still laugh, Wang Qing'er was dumbfounded, finding it hard to believe her own eyes.

"Mr. Zhang Fan?"

"What is wrong with you? Why can you still laugh?"

"Good heavens, you..."

Zhang Fan's eyes flashed with mockery.

"That old fellow must have sneaked around behind your back, printed out the contents of the book, and then registered them as patents."

"Well, look at that now. He took the things I came up with to make a profit for himself. He's got quite some nerve, hasn't he? He really didn't take my warning to him seriously at all."

Wang Qing'er couldn't help asking, "Do you have any way to target him now?"

After all, she had also spent these past few days studying without sleep or food!

Who would have thought that the final fruits of her labor would all be stolen by Professor Ji?

Zhang Fan smiled faintly, his expression calm as he said, "There are plenty of ways."

"You can put your mind at ease."

Zhao Tiezhu had been silent the whole time, checking patents on the side.

His expression changed dramatically, and his eyes narrowed as well.

"Bro, something's wrong!"

"Come look at this. The owners of these patents have all changed."

Curious, both Zhang Fan and Wang Qing'er walked over to Zhao Tiezhu and glanced down.

Sure enough.

Originally, the owner of all ten thousand patents was Professor Ji.

But now, the owner had unexpectedly changed to Logan.

Zhao Tiezhu was so furious that smoke practically came out of his seven orifices, and he clenched his fists with intense rage.

"That damned Logan! He really deserves to die!"

"He's coming up with all sorts of tricks to target you, Bro!"

"I was wondering how that old professor managed to register ten thousand patents in such a short period of time. Turns out he had the help of the Rothschild family."

Wang Qing'er was a clever person.

Combined with the fact that Logan had previously clashed with Zhang Fan on the Chinese internet, she immediately understood everything.

Gone was the timid demeanor she usually had in front of Zhang Fan; instead, she revealed her sharp, formidable side, her face cold as she said, "This heir to the Rothschild family is indeed utterly unscrupulous."

"Mr. Zhang Fan, relying on normal legal means to protect our rights probably won't work."

"The Rothschild family represents the interests of the Americans, and Americans have always been untrustworthy."

Zhang Fan nodded slightly.

[Ding! Detected that the host has encountered a shameless scoundrel. Triggered new mission: Kill Logan]

[Mission Reward: The entire wealth of the Rothschild family]

Zhang Fan was amused.

Kill Logan?

And get the entire wealth of the Rothschild family as well?

Very good, very good. Is that how we're playing this?

Seeing that his good brother and female subordinate were both extremely anxious, Zhang Fan gently shook his head.

"You two don't need to get involved in this matter anymore."

"I am going to make a trip to the United States myself."

"I'll talk to Logan face-to-face."

Zhao Tiezhu turned pale with fright and grabbed Zhang Fan's arm.

"Bro, you can't go to a place like that!"

"That's Logan's home turf to begin with. If you insist on going anyway, given Logan's current berserk state, he will definitely try to finish you off."

Zhang Fan laughed and patted Zhao Tiezhu on the shoulder.

"Don't worry. Since I dare to go, I'm not afraid of him trying to kill me."

"It'll be fine."

No matter how Zhao Tiezhu tried to persuade him, Zhang Fan was determined to go head-to-head with Logan.

After all, this was a chance to inherit the wealth of the entire Rothschild family!

Who could turn down a mission reward like this?

Besides, the system would surely provide him with a legitimate identity for his wealth, and who knows, it might even directly alter everyone's memories?

Who could say for sure?

Zhang Fan stood up.

"Book the plane tickets right now!"

"I want to arrive in the United States by tomorrow."

"I'm going to see Logan in person."

Zhao Tiezhu could only let out a helpless sigh.

His brother's personality was as stubborn as ever.

Once he set his mind on something, nine bulls couldn't pull him back.

Wang Qing'er quickly said, "Mr. Zhang Fan, I'll go with you!"

"After all, I understand this field much better than you do."

"Leave the negotiations regarding the silicon wafers to me."

Zhang Fan gave a hum of agreement.

The two of them immediately booked their flight tickets and flew to the United States.

The next day, 8:00 PM US time.

Los Angeles.

Liu Yan lay in Logan's arms, her body still covered in scars.

Her gaze landed on Logan's face, and even now, the thought of her experiences in northern Myanmar filled her with dread.

"Darling, do you not despise me?"

"Those scum in northern Myanmar not only beat me and humiliated me, but they also, they also..."

Logan immediately pressed a finger to Liu Yan's lips and smiled tenderly.

"How could I ever despise you?"

"If I despised you, I wouldn't have spent a massive amount of money to rescue you."

These words melted Liu Yan's heart completely.

Prior to this, she had loathed Zhang Fan to her core.

She had been unable to escape her hatred for Zhang Fan, believing that the only reason she was captured was because of his scheming!

But now, Liu Yan felt that she had vaguely let go of that hatred.

Instead, she had become infatuated with Logan beyond redemption.

To meet such a wonderful man, marry him, and even be able to share in his wealth!

Spending the rest of her life here was truly wonderful.

Logan, however, had completely different thoughts running through his mind.

Dammit.

He couldn't get rid of that bastard Zhang Fan right away just yet.

But the moment he caught an opportunity, he would definitely kill him!

Even though he couldn't kill him right now, being able to play with his woman—heh...

A bodyguard walked in with a peculiar expression on his face.

"Young Master, Zhang Fan is here to see you."

Logan didn't process it for a second and brushed it off casually.

"Make him wait. I'm busy today and don't feel like dealing with anything."

"I just got ahold of Zhang Fan's ten thousand patent rights."

"What? Zhang Fan?"

Logan was utterly shocked, turned his head to stare at the bodyguard, and sprang to his feet.

"He came to the United States?"

"How dare he?!"
