The desperate people were slumped helplessly in the chairs of the boardroom. They, of course, knew that everything online and the company's computers being hacked were all Jiang Cheng's doing.

They were shocked by Jiang Cheng's capabilities and felt a deep fear of him.

The person who had opened the door was detailing Apple's current losses—it's not just Apple's headquarters; all Apple's branches globally, as well as any company closely related to Apple, had their computers hacked, leaving no data behind!

This incident can't simply be described as a major loss because it involves the core of Apple Company!

At this point, Cook's thoughts seemed to stop. Vaguely in his ears, he heard Jiang Cheng's words from just a day before—he had believed Jiang Cheng didn't have the ability to truly bankrupt Apple. So what if you don't get a compensation of twenty billion US Dollars? Could you really hit Apple's tablet and laptop market?

He truly didn't expect Jiang Cheng to follow through!

He said he'd leave Apple with no way out, and he indeed left Apple with no way out. The current situation is that the products produced by Apple have caused resistance from countless people, and the future is extremely precarious.

However, in this precarious situation, not only Apple's computers but also those of other subsidiaries were hacked, leaving no information at all! How can Apple survive?

Some people sat powerlessly in their chairs, staring blankly at the ceiling, while others were leaning against the walls, their whole bodies seemingly limp.

They couldn't imagine how Jiang Cheng managed to accomplish all this. It's simply terrifying! Simply horrifying!

Hacking all of Apple's departments globally—what kind of hacker or hacker organization could achieve this?

Who exactly is Jiang Cheng? At this moment, their brains felt enveloped by an extreme sense of fear that couldn't be shaken off!

Meanwhile, some were looking at Cook with eyes filled with anger. It was precisely because of what Cook had done that they provoked Jiang Cheng, making Apple end up in its current state!

The day of bankruptcy was not far off!

The products couldn't sell, and all the computers were hacked. What does Apple have to survive on now?

They couldn't find any solution!

After a long time, a board member managed to calm down and, with a shaky voice, said, "After this incident, Apple has probably become a deadwood, even unsellable. Might as well sell the mobile phone department to the military to at least recover some losses." The other board members nodded one after another, while some remained silent, realizing Apple's current plight was due to provoking Jiang Cheng.

Cook had no energy to speak anymore. He had no role in the board's current decisions nor the right to voice out.

Among these people, the one who feared Jiang Cheng the most was probably him. He didn't even have the strength to stand, as his normal thought processes seemed gone while recalling what Jiang Cheng had told him.

Subsequently, under the board's decision, Apple was sold off to the United States military at a rock-bottom price. Apple's reputation existed in name only!

All of Apple's global branches were also dealt with by the United States military.

On that day, countless people lost their jobs. Apple's true collapse had an enormous impact on the global economy.

Some people, presidents and chairmen of various companies, presidents and senators of certain countries, upon realizing it was Cook provoking Jiang Cheng that led to Apple's bankruptcy, couldn't help but feel a deep fear of Jiang Cheng.

At this time, after hearing about Apple's bankruptcy and acquisition by the U.S. military, Jiang Cheng just smiled faintly, not taking the matter to heart at all.

"You did well, Lucy." Smiling and shaking his head, Jiang Cheng praised the Lucy on the computer screen.

"How could Lucy not carry out the master's orders diligently? Moreover, this matter wasn't too difficult." The Lucy on the screen smiled, squinting her eyes, radiating a sunny and adorable demeanor.

"Ha, Apple dared to think of stealing our company's top-secret technology, which led to this outcome. They brought it on themselves," Jiang Cheng said nonchalantly, sipping his coffee.

Apple's bankruptcy and acquisition by the U.S. military were within Jiang Cheng's expectations because the Transparent Phone produced by Cosmic Umbrella Technology Company was almost unusable by the U.S. military, whereas Apple's devices held great value for them; thus, being acquired in a near-bankruptcy state was quite normal.

Just then, someone knocked on the door of Jiang Cheng's office.

"Come in," Jiang Cheng said lightly.

Then, Zhang Manlin entered with a tired expression. Looking at Jiang Cheng, she smiled and said, "Chairman Jiang, I didn't expect Apple to actually go bankrupt. I think no company will dare covet our company's technology in the future."

Cosmic Umbrella Technology Company, Chairman's Office.

Zhang Manlin entered with a weary expression. Looking at Jiang Cheng, she smiled and said, "Chairman Jiang, I didn't expect Apple to actually go bankrupt. I think no company will dare covet our company's technology in the future."

Jiang Cheng said lightly, "The situation with Apple is just a warning to those companies. I believe many will still covet our company's technology. By the way, how's the work on the company's security and confidentiality department going?"

Zhang Manlin said, "The company's security and confidentiality department has been formally established. The department head and employees have almost all been hired, and with the technical security system you provided, our company's technology security has reached a new level."

Zhang Manlin wasn't overly worried about this issue. She genuinely admired Jiang Cheng because, with the technical security system in place, the work of the security department had become much simpler.

The employees and managers hired for the security department all expressed considerable shock after understanding the powerful function of the security system.

They promised that with the help of this system, all technological leaks would be effectively controlled, ensuring significant protection for the company's technology security.

"Hmm, very good. Considering Apple's incident, the companies with intentions will probably also have some apprehension. With the addition of the security department, I believe similar incidents will nearly be impossible," Jiang Cheng said calmly, taking a sip of coffee.
