Termination of Cooperation

Chapter 73 Termination of Cooperation

He glared fiercely at the people around him.

"Did you hear me? Get those handcuffs off right now! I'm a member of the military!"

Just as he was roaring unrestrainedly, the interrogation room door was pushed open, and Xu Xu walked in with a cold expression.

Liang Shaoyu was stunned for a moment when he saw Xu Xu.

Xu Xu walked to the interrogation table and sat down, his gaze sharp as a blade as he looked at him.

"Go on, I'm listening!" Xu Xu said coldly.

Liang Shaoyu's heart skipped a beat, his expression changed instantly, and he quickly put on a fawning smile.

"Director Xu, you've finally arrived! Please have them release me."

"They arrested people without any evidence; this is a slap in the face to our military industry!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Xu Xu's long-suppressed anger erupted. He grabbed a teacup from the table and smashed it hard at Liang Shaoyu.

With a "bang," the teacup hit Liang Shaoyu squarely on the head, and blood instantly streamed down his forehead, causing him to scream in pain.

"Xu Xu, what the hell do you want to do?" Liang Shaoyu roared angrily.

Xu Xu rushed forward and slapped him hard across the face, angrily shouting, "What do you think you're doing? You colluded with the Americans, bribed the appraisal center, passed off inferior goods as superior ones, and defrauded the state of its assets. You still have the nerve to ask me?"

Upon hearing this, Liang Shaoyu was struck dumb, never expecting that his scheme had been exposed.

But now he knew that if he didn't fight back desperately, there was probably no hope left.

So, he endured the pain on his face, raised his blood-covered face, and said, "That's right, I did it. I fabricated the fake medical report, and I bribed the person."

"But! Have you ever considered where we'd get all those materials if I didn't do this? If I didn't ensure the materials for the US met standards?"

"I've put so much effort and used so many connections for this, and you're still holding a grudge over this little thing?"

These words completely enraged Xu Xu. He rushed forward again, swinging his fists and beating Liang Shaoyu until his face was bruised and swollen, looking like a pig's head.

"You bastard! You spineless traitor, you actually consider betraying national interests something to be proud of!"

Xu Xu trembled with rage. "Let me tell you, even without resorting to your underhanded methods, we can solve the technical problems of high-temperature alloy materials!"

Liang Shaoyu, his face covered in blood, raised his head, glared fiercely at Xu Xu, and roared, "You dare not believe me? Without me, the US will never sell you even a single gram of high-temperature alloy again!"

"Let me tell you, even without the US, our China can produce just as much, and even better!"

Xu Xu responded without backing down, then turned to the police officer beside him and said sternly, "This person must be dealt with seriously; there will be no leniency!"

Several policemen immediately stood at attention and saluted.

"Director Xu, rest assured, we will severely punish such traitors who betray national interests and thoroughly investigate all the networks and chains of interests behind them!"

After leaving the police station, Xu Xu immediately instructed his secretary, "Drive to the branch of Norway Materials Company."

Soon, the car stopped in front of an impressive office building.

Xu Xu stepped forward and knocked on the door. A blonde, blue-eyed American female secretary walked over.

"Is there anything I can help you with, sir?" the secretary asked in English.

Xu Xu said directly, "Go and call Tom out. I need to talk to him."

The female secretary shrugged helplessly and switched to Mandarin, saying, "Sorry, the manager has left."

"Do you think I can't see him? His car is parked downstairs, and you're telling me he went out?"

Xu Xu roared loudly towards the direction of the office.

"Tom, I know you're in there."

"You can remain silent, or pretend you don't understand, but I'm making this clear today: your 'substituting inferior goods' behavior seriously violates our cooperation agreement."

"We solemnly demand that you provide compensation; otherwise, we will present all the evidence and make you pay a heavy price!"

After saying that, Xu Xu turned and left.

Just then, the sound of a door opening came from behind, and Tom, a tall man in a sharp suit, walked out and called out, "Director Xu, what do you mean by that?"

Xu Xu turned his head and looked at Tom with icy eyes. "If you understand, I won't repeat myself."

"You'd better compensate us immediately, or we'll take this to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and terminate our cooperation!"

Upon hearing this, Tom not only wasn't nervous, but burst into laughter.

"Director Xu, are you threatening me? Don't forget, only we can supply you with high-temperature alloys."

"Aren't you cutting off your own escape route?"

In the past, Xu Xu probably would never have come here.

But today, he had the confidence that Wu Zu gave him, and facing Tom's arrogant appearance, he did not back down at all, saying: "Cutting off your own escape route? Sorry, we have already paved the way out."

"I'm giving you two choices: either compensate me, or terminate the cooperation!"

After saying that, he took a small part out of his pocket, placed it on the table, and turned to leave.

Tom watched his retreating figure and sneered, "A Chinese dares to be so arrogant in front of me? They're courting death!"

After saying that, he walked to the table, picked up the parts left by Xu Xu, glanced at them, and was immediately stunned.

"This is actually a high-temperature resistant alloy?" the secretary next to her exclaimed in surprise.

"Did we sell this to them?"

Tom didn't respond, but instead took out a magnifying glass from his pocket and began to examine it carefully.

Immediately afterwards, his eyes were filled with shock.

The cut edges of the parts have uniform color and texture, which means that there are no impurities inside the material during the high-temperature calcination process.

Such purity can only be produced in their laboratory.

He immediately handed the alloy in his hand to his secretary.

"Go quickly and get a test report from the testing center!"

The secretary took the die-sized piece of alloy, and although somewhat puzzled, she quickly delivered it to the technical department.

Two hours later, the head of the technical department personally brought the test report to Tom's office.

"Mr. Tom, where did you get this alloy?"

The head of the technical department was filled with surprise.

Tom looked at his excited expression, but he couldn't feel happy at all.

"How were the test results?"

"It exceeds our highest standard by about 20%, its purity is extremely high!"

"What?" Tom exclaimed in surprise.

At this point, the head of the technical department, somewhat puzzled, cautiously asked, "Where did this alloy come from?"

Tom put down the test report, looked out the window, and gritted his teeth, saying, "Damn it, China has actually developed a high-temperature resistant alloy!"

At this moment, Tom felt some regret, but his inherent arrogance remained undiminished.

"You think you can threaten me with something you made in a lab? You're too naive! Without mass production capabilities, you'll still have to buy from us!"
