Chapter 96 Encountering a Thief
"Boss, I have some bad news for you, but you must hang in there."
Xue Bai hesitated before walking up to Gu Ye, and decided to give him a heads-up first.
"Spit it out!" Gu Ye gave him a cold look.
"Boss, you can see for yourself." Xue Bai couldn't bring himself to say it, so he handed the video clip he had taken from his phone to Gu Ye.
Gu Ye glanced at it casually.
Xue Bai could hardly bear to look at him.
The boss must be furious, right? Probably... more heartbroken, after all, his feelings for Chu Xinglan were genuine. What on earth is this Miss Chu thinking? Giving up her life as a wealthy heiress to come and work, and to make matters worse, she even helped another company steal from her boss's house?!
"And then?" Gu Ye asked calmly.
"Boss, aren't you angry?" Xue Bai asked, somewhat puzzled.
If the boss is truly this love-obsessed, then it's a real tragedy for the company; one woman could bring down the Gu family business.
"Why am I angry?" Gu Ye asked back.
"This, this Miss Chu helped President Wan steal our company's information, such a big thing, and you're not angry?" Xue Bai put his hand to his forehead.
Men who are obsessed with love are truly beyond saving.
Gu Ye looked up at Xue Bai, then beckoned him over.
Xue Bai approached Gu Ye, puzzled.
"boss……?"
"Are your eyes just for show? Does she look like she's stealing information?"
Gu Ye grabbed Xue Bai's tie and pressed his eyes close to the phone screen.
Xue Bai examined it carefully.
It certainly didn't look like they were stealing documents; it looked more like they were looking for something.
"What was she looking for in the personnel department's archives?" Xue Bai asked, puzzled.
Gu Ye rubbed his forehead, deep in thought.
He probably knew what Chu Xinglan was looking for.
"Boss, should we stop Miss Chu from going to the archives again, so as to avoid misunderstandings?" Xue Bai asked tentatively.
"Don't stop her. Let her do whatever she wants. Just pretend you don't know anything."
"Boss, aren't you spoiling her too much?" Xue Bai forced a smile.
"You have a problem with that?" Gu Ye glanced at Xue Bai.
"No, no, absolutely not," Xue Bai hurriedly said. "The boss's words are law. I'll tell the security team not to harm Miss Chu."
Xue Bai hurried out.
Gu Ye clasped his hands together.
Lanlan... isn't it time for you to know the truth?
"Is there no information about Shirley in the archives?" Chu Xinglan kept searching through the archives.
Who exactly is this Sherry? There isn't even a trace of her. It's as if she doesn't exist in the company at all. If it weren't for her memories from her previous life, she would really think that Sherry doesn't exist in this world.
Clang!
Suddenly, a file folder fell into the corner.
Chu Xinglan looked in that direction.
Could it be that her wishes will come true, and whatever she desires will appear? Sherry's file just happened to be delivered to her like this? Has she somehow gotten the lead role in this drama?
Chu Xinglan was secretly delighted and hurriedly ran over to bend down and pick up the file folder.
Just then, a man sneaked into the archives room.
Chu Xinglan watched the other person enter and wondered why this person seemed to be doing something like a thief.
Before she could even speak, the man rummaged through the archives, taking photos of or taking away any documents he deemed useful.
Is he... stealing documents?
Chu Xinglan suddenly realized that the other person was a thief.
This won't do. This is Gu Ye's company; we can't let Gu Ye's company suffer losses.
Just as Chu Xinglan was about to call Gu Ye, she bumped into the wooden cabinet in front of her in her excitement.
"Damn it, my head!"
"Who?" The man was startled by the sound. He turned around alertly and saw Chu Xinglan holding a file and covering her head.
Oh no, he found out!
She's a delicate woman, probably no match for this man, especially since she's pregnant. What if she hurts the baby?
Chu Xinglan sensed something was wrong and nervously gripped the file folder.
The man saw that Chu Xinglan was clutching the file folder tightly, looking nervous and frightened.
He chuckled and said, "So you're in the same industry."
He mistakenly thought Chu Xinglan was an accomplice, so he said in a good-natured manner, "Were you also hired by Boss Wan to steal documents?"
Boss Wan? What the heck?
Seeing that the other party had lowered their guard, Chu Xinglan decided to play along and nodded gently.
"This Boss Wan is really worried. He specially hired me at a high price, but he also hired a frail woman."
The man muttered to himself.
"So someone hired him to steal Gu Ye's documents? We absolutely can't let him steal them," Chu Xinglan thought to herself.
“Let’s make this clear beforehand: although we’re employed by the same boss, you can steal all the other documents, but you can’t take the T country project proposal, it has to be given to me!”
The T country project proposal? Isn't that the overseas project that Gu Ye is about to expand into?
Chu Xinglan glanced at the file folder in her hand and was startled. It wasn't Sherry's information; it was the T Country project proposal!
No way?! What a coincidence!
Chu Xinglan tried to hide the file folder in her hand.
The sharp-eyed man immediately saw Chu Xinglan's intention and asked sternly, "What are you holding in your hand?"
"No, it's nothing," Chu Xinglan quickly said. "Weren't you looking for information? Then you go ahead and do your work. I'll head out now."
Chu Xinglan wanted to escape.
"Wait." The man blocked Chu Xinglan's path, staring at her fiercely. "Take the things out."
"I discovered it first, I'll just hand it over to Boss Wan."
Chu Xinglan quickly protected the file folder.
"You wretched woman, are you tired of living? This is a project worth tens of billions. If we hand it over to Boss Wan, he'll get hundreds of millions in compensation. You dare to compete with me for it?"
The man spoke fiercely, reaching out to grab the file folder.
In his eyes, Chu Xinglan was just a soft woman, and he would definitely hand her over obediently if he threatened her like that.
But before his hand could even touch the file folder, Chu Xinglan tightly protected it and took a step back.
"I think you're asking for it!" The man raised his hand and slapped Chu Xinglan across the face.
Chu Xinglan's head was buzzing from the blow, and blood was trickling from the corner of her mouth, but she still tightly protected the file folder.
"You stinking woman, let go of me now!" The man used all his strength to snatch the file folder from Chu Xinglan's hands.
Chu Xinglan knew that if she confronted the man head-on, she would be no match for him. This man was not only physically strong, but also seemed to be a trained fighter. However, if she did nothing, the plan would be snatched away by the man, and Gu Ye would lose hundreds of billions.
Chu Xinglan watched as the man prepared to leave with the project proposal. She was extremely anxious. If she tried to forcibly take it, not only would she not be able to get the proposal, but it might also harm the baby in her womb.
Just as Chu Xinglan was in a dilemma, she suddenly saw the alarm button in front of her.
