The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 536 There's Nothing Wrong With a Meal

Nicole pursed her lips and raised her eyes just in time to meet Eric's gaze. They coincidentally smiled.

Eric's voice was cold. "Since the system data and the chip records are both normal, there's only one thing that can be abnormal."

Everyone looked at him silently and nervously.

Eric said, "The test car."

For a long time, everyone was silent and did not make a sound. They were shocked, but they had no choice but to accept Eric's words.

"What could be wrong with the car?"

Eric pursed his lips. "The car was specially customized, but the components that work hand-in-hand with the Al system were custom-made by a different company. Has anyone checked this?" No one made any sound.

However, there was no doubt that a breakthrough had been found in this accident.

"Meeting adjourned."

Eric spoke and immediately ended the video conference.

Nicole's eyes fell on the man's face. She did not say anything, but she had the same thought.

She did not expect Eric to have the same idea as her.

Nicole raised her brows. "It's probably a problem with the brakes."

Eric said, "How clever."

Nicole rolled her eyes. That went without saying.

She stood up. She felt like the clouds would soon be dispelled to reveal the sun, so her heart suddenly felt a lot lighter.

"Let's have a meal together," Eric suggested.

Nicole said, "I've refused so many times. Can't you tell that it's because I don't want to eat with you?"

Eric froze for a moment before smiling. "I can't tell. What's wrong with a meal?"

Nicole had already experienced his roguish attitude and was really speechless. She snorted lightly and simply left.

There was good news from Gerard Lichman a few days after the meeting.

As expected, they were right. There was nothing wrong with the Al system. The real problem was with the car's brakes.

It was the latest braking system developed by a company in Liberty which claimed to be the best of all luxury cars.

Considering the superior performance of autopilot driving, every component was equipped with top-level configuration, so this superior technology would naturally not be left out. Thus, this technology company was chosen without any hesitation when the tender was put out.

No one expected this cutting-edge technology to be the cause of the struggle for the autopilot car.

As soon as the matter was found out, Gerard immediately returned to Mediania with the verification report from the relevant departments. He also sent a lawyer's letter to that company while he was in Europe. However, in order to protect the company's secrets, the other party requested to not make the investigation public and refused to disclose the core patent of the braking system.

In an instant, the difficulty of the investigation was raised to the point where it was impossible to proceed.

Gerard's always gentle and calm temperament was cold with a rare show of anger. He went to Ferguson Corporation as soon as his plane touched down.

He threw the related documents on the table, and his expression was extremely unpleasant.

Eric, who was at his desk, looked up faintly and said in a cold and clear voice, "Why don't you go back and have a rest?"

"I'm not in the mood!"

Gerard took a deep breath. "I learned through many insiders that the braking system Liberty Technologies developed was used in luxury cars with very good sales. It turns out there were more than a hundred braking accidents, but every time someone tried to expose them with a lawsuit, they would use all kinds of methods to suppress the accident and resolve it.

That's why there was no negative press about it so far."

"You went there personally?" Eric's voice was light.

Gerard sneered. "The funny thing is, they didn't care about me at all. I brought out all kinds of evidence, but they insisted that it was a problem with our autopilot system. Does that group of self-righteous capitalists really think that they can hide this from the world for the rest of their lives? I'll tell Ms. Stanton about it and get her opinion."

"Don't tell her."

Eric's eyes were cold and heavy.
