Chapter 75: Couple

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The two police officers were young and thought that Xing Shu was unwilling to forgive her boyfriend, so they sighed. “Miss, are you still angry with your boyfriend? This is not good for your relationship. You should talk it over.”

Xing Shu did not reply. She stared at the jacket in the man’s hand and said,

“Send me to Manor No. 1. Thank you.”

Seeing how dejected and sad Xing Shu was, the police did not reject her request. Moreover, people who live in Manor No. 1 were extraordinarily rich and powerful.

The police car stopped about 200 meters away from Manor No. 1. Xing Shu got out of the car barefooted and in a daze. The two police officers looked at her receding figure and shook their heads slowly. “Young people nowadays are really fragile.”

The man and the mastermind had planned the whole thing perfectly. No one would think that an attacker would deliberately photoshop so many intimate photos. Coupled with the assurance from Fenglei Group, the police really believed it to be a lovers’ tiff.

Xing Shu walked barefoot all the way. She did not know what had cut her foot, and it became increasingly painful with each step. She stared at the door of

Manor No. 1 and suddenly laughed at herself. What was the use of coming here? She limped to a chair by the roadside and pulled out the glass shards embedded in her foot. Blood gushed out and sharp pain seared through her. Xing Shu fought back her tears. She whipped out her cell phone again. “Mr. Policeman, my name is Xing Shu. I wish to report that someone stole Cheng Corporation Group’s trade secrets. Yes, it’s him. The jacket in his hand belongs to the President of Cheng Corporation Group—Cheng Lang. There’s a small USB drive inside containing Cheng Corporation Group’s confidential document. Please take this matter seriously.”

Who did not know Cheng Corporation Group in Beijing? Cases related to Cheng Corporation Group must not be taken lightly. Xing Shu and the man just now were brought to the police station half an hour later. The man did not expect to end up in the police station. His face was grim, but he pretended to be affectionate at the sight of Xing Shu. “Baby, I already said that we should resolve our matter in private. Don’t trouble the police…”

Xing Shu did not look at the man. Instead, she sat on the chair. Blood was still flowing from her soles, but she did not seem to feel any pain. She only looked at the police and said, “The clothes he robbed belonged to Cheng Lang, the

President of Cheng Corporation Group. If you don’t believe me, you can call Cheng Lang. Also, this is my business card.” Xing Shu’s designation was printed on the business card—Xing Shu, Director of M&A; Cheng Corporation Group.

“The USB flash drive in the jacket involves the merger and acquisition—worth more than 10 billion yuan—that our company is currently working on. Now that the USB flash drive is missing, who will be responsible for Cheng Corporation Group’s losses?” Xing Shut s tone was indifferent. “There’s a mastermind behind this man. If you don’t believe me, you can investigate his bank account. Someone instructed him to steal Cheng Corporation Group’s trade secrets. Do I need to emphasize how serious this is?”

Cheng Corporation Group… Trade secrets… President Cheng Lang—any of these three phrases was enough to attract the attention of the police. A lovers’ tiff was no longer a valid cover..

The man was shocked by Xing Shut s words and immediately restrained his sloven attitude. “Xing Shu, what do you mean? When did I steal trade secrets? When did I take the USB flash drive? Don’t slander me!”

Xing Shu was calm and composed. Although her soles hurt, the pain kept her mind clear. “What? Are you claiming the jacket is yours? That is a bespoke jacket. Every piece has its own name and serial number. If the police officers think that I’m lying, feel free to trace the origin of that jacket.”

The man panicked. He had casually picked up this high-end jacket; and the thought of corporate espionage did not occur to him at all.

Xing Shu’s aura was very strong now. She gained control of the entire situation in the blink of an eye. “I hope to find the mastermind who sabotaged Cheng Corporation Group.”

A case involving trade secrets worth tens of billions was major. They had already begun investigating the man’s financial activities and realized that there was indeed a million yuan of unknown funds deposited into his account a few hours ago.

The evidence was conclusive.

The man gritted his teeth, and his palms began to sweat. Corporate espionage of over 10 billion yuan in value. If convicted, he would be imprisoned for at least 10 years! Xing Shu was out for blood! She was killing two birds with one stone—going after the mastermind as well.. How could such a beautiful face be so ruthless?!
