Lu Lingche had a cold expression on his face. His team had identified nine faults - so why did Dongfang Mu emerge victorious?
He didn't dwell on his suspicions for long. Soon enough, Cross revealed the number of faults discovered by each corporation.
In first place was Eastern Empire. The number following its name wasn't nine—it was ten.
A substantial stir ensued within the room at the sight of that number.
Lu Lingche understood the situation the moment he saw the number. He shot a glance at his corporation's team, convinced they were good-for-nothings.
Cross was visibly excited: "As everyone can see, Eastern Empire's team found ten faults – in fact, our own team could only find nine! Thank you, Eastern Empire. Your engineers gave us a great surprise!"
Dongfang Mu had a broad smile on his face. He stood up on behalf of his team, nodded at Cross, then sat down to a round of applause.
He was delighted, but he couldn't look at Qiao Yin.
