Lei Wenxiu had no idea how Xiao Xun ended up here. She had only heard that some of the company's senior executives were going for training, and he was among them.
But she never dreamed of encountering him here.
Instantly flustered, she asked, "Director Xiao, how come you're here?"
Xiao Xun stood up directly, walked to Lei Wenxiu, and his expression turned cold.
"I ask you, tell me the truth, what is your identity? Do you want me to call the police?"
Upon hearing that he might call the police, Lei Wenxiu quickly waved her hands. "Director Xiao, I don't dare anymore. I was just momentarily confused. Please, please don't call the police and arrest me."
After speaking, she glanced behind her, saw no one, and knelt directly on the ground, looking at him with a pitiful expression.
"Director Xiao, as long as you don't call the police, I'll do anything you ask, really..."
Xiao Xun sat directly on the desk. "I'm not someone who takes advantage of a person's misfortune. Just tell me directly how much company confidential information you've leaked, what you've leaked, and your relationship with Jingji Group. Then, submit a resignation letter, and this matter will be over."
Suddenly, voices and footsteps were heard outside. Lei Wenxiu quickly stood up. "Tonight, at Yue Sheng Hotel, Room 1406, I'll tell you everything." After saying that, she quickly walked up to Xiao Xun, grabbed his tie, and gave him a passionate kiss.
Xiao Xun was stunned. Lei Wenxiu gave him a sweet smile, then walked over to the drink dispenser and gently pushed it, revealing a hidden door behind it.
She said, "See you tonight,"
and walked into the hidden door, leaving a shocked Xiao Xun behind.
Five minutes later, Cui Zhihao rushed in anxiously. He looked at Xiao Xun and said, "You're here so early?"
Xiao Xun regained his composure and said playfully, "You're not late either!"
Cui Zhihao smiled and looked around. "Was there anyone else in the office when you arrived?"
Xiao Xun turned the computer screen towards him, revealing the game on it. "I've been playing games the whole time, didn't see anyone."
Cui Zhihao breathed a sigh of relief. "If I had known, this password would be useless to you, I should have sued you yesterday. You didn't leave any 'little traces' in my computer, did you?"
"I don't have that kind of hobby. I'm just a wage earner. I work for whoever pays me. I never do anything that harms others and benefits myself."
Cui Zhihao didn't care if what Xiao Xun said was true or false. He smiled at Xiao Xun. "I'm going to a meeting later. If you're willing, you can come along and listen."
"I told you, I'm not interested in your company's affairs. I'll just stay here and play games. You can find me after you're done, and we'll 'duo queue'."
"No problem."
After agreeing, Cui Zhihao came over, picked up a document from the desk, and left.
Xiao Xun pursed his lips and glanced at the hidden door, curious about where it led. But he knew that curiosity killed the cat, so he suppressed his curiosity and sat back down at the computer to play games.
Actually, he understood that Lei Wenxiu would tell Cui Zhihao. Now it depended on how Cui Zhihao planned to proceed. After all, he had told himself yesterday that Sheng Di Luoman had his business spies, but he hadn't expected them to be exposed so quickly.
What he didn't realize was that this was a trap set by Cui Zhihao for Xiao Xun. Otherwise, Cui Zhihao wouldn't have informed Lei Wenxiu about Xiao Xun's presence here, but would have made him deliberately stumble upon it.
More than an hour later, Cui Zhihao walked in with a blank expression. He said nothing, took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep drag.
Xiao Xun watched him without speaking, waiting for him to continue.
Unexpectedly, he took out his own laptop. "You can play on this one! That one's background data is being monitored by the head office. If they discover it's not me operating, it'll be troublesome."
Xiao Xun smiled playfully, shook his head, and got up to sit on the sofa opposite the desk.
The morning passed quickly. It felt like they had only played a few games, and the exhilarating combat left Cui Zhihao wanting more.
But Xiao Xun refused to play anymore. "Let's go eat quickly! If we're late, all the good food will be gone."
Cui Zhihao shrugged, indicating he was not interested in so-called delicacies. "What good food can there be? It's always the same few things every day."
Only when eating could Xiao Xun forget all his worries. Food could indeed heal the wounds of the soul.
After playing a few more games in the afternoon, as it was nearing the end of working hours, Xiao Xun got up and left again, leaving Cui Zhihao behind.
"That's very impolite of you, you know..."
Xiao Xun arrived at the underground garage and got into his car. As soon as he fastened his seatbelt.
A dark muzzle was pressed against the back of Xiao Xun's head.
"Dark Commander, we meet again."
The speaker was a blond man with white skin and a high-bridged nose. A moment later, a white man with brown hair, holding a butterfly knife, got into the passenger seat.
Xiao Xun said calmly, "You finally found me."
"We wouldn't have found you, but you're too high-profile. People want to kill you everywhere you go. Do you know how many people in 'Deep Sea' are trying to take your life, and how much they're paying?"
While Xiao Xun was thinking of countermeasures, he said, "I've been 'silent' for over three years, I have no idea what the current situation in 'Deep Sea' is."
"Drive!"
The white man in the passenger seat said coldly.
Xiao Xun didn't ask where they were going, but started the car directly and drove out of the garage.
The white man in the passenger seat took out his phone. "At the traffic light ahead, go straight. At the next intersection, turn right."
Xiao Xun drove very slowly. "Why didn't you just kill me in the garage? Aren't you afraid I'll escape?"
The person in the back seat chuckled. "We believe that while we can't catch you online, in reality, you have no escape."
The person in the passenger seat turned his head expressionlessly and glared at the white man behind him, then said to Xiao Xun, "You'd better behave yourself and not try any tricks. Killing you is very easy for us."
"How about I give you each a hundred Detroit coins and you let me go?"
The white man in the back seat said, "It's certainly tempting, but we dare not accept it."
The person in the passenger seat said, "Even handing over all your funds wouldn't compensate for our boss's losses."
Xiao Xun roared, "If you can't compensate, what's the point of killing me?"
The white man behind him put away his gun. "Therefore, our boss has decided not to kill you."
"What!"
Xiao Xun slammed on the brakes, narrowly avoiding running a red light.
"You're not killing me anymore?"
The person in the passenger seat turned directly to the white man behind him and said, "Can you say fewer words?" Then he said to Xiao Xun, "Yes, our boss admires you as a talented person who dares to think and act. Since the losses are irreversible, it would be too much of a pity to kill such a talent. Therefore, he wants to take you in."
Xiao Xun turned to look at the person in the passenger seat. "What if I don't?"
The white man said expressionlessly, "To put it in your country's words, that's refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. The shockwave that night was just our least powerful grenade."
As he spoke, he took a metal self-firing grenade from his chest bag. With just a press of the button, within seconds, this car, weighing less than three tons, would instantly be blown to smithereens.
