Zhou Chao's face immediately turned grim, and his gaze became icy.

"Tell me, what happened."

His cold tone sent shivers down the spines of everyone present. Xu Yu glanced at Zhou Jilong and thought, "You brought this upon yourself. Let's see how this unfolds."

"Boss, I investigated, and it turns out the patents for the 5nm lithography machine were registered as early as March, and the owner is the Chinese Academy of Sciences!" Zhou Jilong lowered his head as he spoke, avoiding eye contact with Zhou Chao.

Inwardly, he cursed himself, "Why did I talk so much? I should have just explained the situation directly. I'm in for a scolding later!"
