Chapter 198: Chapter 133: The "Good" Neighbor Is Caught! (Double-Length)

After finishing the meal, Xu Li sent Jiang Xue downstairs to catch the school bus.

Jiang Tao transferred 50,000 yuan of startup capital to his father’s phone and then they acted separately.

His parents were responsible for settling matters at the market stall.

Meanwhile, Jiang Tao drove towards Longze Garden.

Today, he planned to discuss the Eight Treasure Pickle Secret Recipe with Jiang Yi.

Midway, Jiang Tao found an open area to park.

After parking, he retrieved a hundred thousand yuan in cash that he obtained last night and brought it into the car.

Seeing the neatly stacked cash, Jiang Tao realized he felt very calm inside.

One could say he felt no waves!

With increasing earnings, his threshold also rose higher and higher.

Now, a hundred thousand yuan no longer provided any excitement for him.

He casually placed the cash in the storage box in front of the passenger seat.

Jiang Tao first cracked open the car window, then lit a cigarette.

Only then did he mentally rehearse how to phrase his conversation before reviewing the first piece of intelligence refreshed last night.

[Today’s Intelligence 01]:

Yesterday, you had contact with your neighbor Qi Jinxiong and obtained relevant intelligence—

Qi Jinxiong colluded with foreign forces to steal top-secret company documents worth 30 million yuan.

Contact the company’s security department to report him, and you can earn a 300,000 yuan cash reward!

Security department contact number: 139XXXX8876.

[Note:] 3 hours and 17 minutes remaining until the data leak.

In his mind, he rehearsed what to say when he dialed the phone number.

Jiang Tao took a deep breath, then began dialing the number for the security department head on his phone.

...

About 4 kilometers away from Bai Gezhuang New Village District, within an industrial park.

Inside the Jingxin Fishery Feed Processing Factory.

Security Section Chief Dong Qiang was leisurely sipping tea in his office.

While idly glancing over the office’s several monitoring screens.

His mind still on the backing singers from last night at the KTV.

Ring, ring, ring—

The phone on the desk suddenly rang.

Dong Qiang picked up the phone, seeing an unfamiliar local number calling.

The number was clean, unmarked as promotional or delivery.

After hesitating for two seconds, Dong Qiang swiped his finger to answer the call.

"Hello, who is this?"

"Yes, I’m Dong Qiang."

"What!"

"..."

The call lasted 3 minutes and 27 seconds.

When Dong Qiang removed the phone from his ear, beads of sweat had already formed on his forehead despite the cold winter.

"Damn it, that old bastard Qi Jinxiong, biting the hand that feeds him!"

Dong Qiang cursed aloud, not daring to delay, hurriedly headed towards the general manager’s office.

The information he just received on the phone was of great importance.

If true, it’s no exaggeration to say it would cause Jingxin Feed Factory losses in the billions!

Knock, knock, knock—

Arriving at the general manager’s office door, Dong Qiang knocked nervously.

Upon hearing voices inside, he urgently pushed open the door and entered.

"What’s the matter, Section Chief Dong?"

General Manager Qi Dongqiang’s expression became serious upon seeing the anxious look on Dong Qiang’s face.

After entering, Dong Qiang quickly closed the door, walked straight to Qi Dongqiang’s desk, lowered his voice, and said with a grave expression:

"President Qi, someone just called saying our laboratory group leader Qi Jinxiong stole the company’s eel feed formula."

"What!"

Hearing Dong Qiang’s report, Qi Dongqiang instantly couldn’t sit still and jumped up from his seat!

Jingxin Fishery Feed Processing Factory is a feed factory integrating research and sales of fish feed.

The factory has been established for over a decade, holding dozens of patented technologies, and its products sell well domestically and abroad.

The annual sales of the factory reach over 300 million, making it a very powerful enterprise in the industrial park.

Among them, the eel feed formula is definitely the most valuable and precious formula at Jingxin Fishery Feed Factory!

Mainly because eels have high economic value, selling for hundreds of yuan per kilogram.

This feed developed by Jingxin Fishery Feed Factory not only accelerates the eel farming cycle but also effectively removes the earthy smell from eels.

This type of feed can be sold for more than 30,000 yuan per ton.

Just this one kind of feed can achieve annual sales of about 100 million!

The reason this feed is so expensive and sells so well is mainly because its effect is excellent and it is favored by many farmers.

Another main reason is that this feed is only available at the Jingxin Fishery Feed Factory; others don’t have it.

Because the formula for this feed is extremely complex, involving the additive ratios of dozens of trace elements.

Any imbalance in one ratio can significantly reduce the effectiveness of the finished product.

If farmers want to buy it, they can only purchase from Jingxin Fisheries.

If the feed formula is leaked and copied by other feed factories, it would be a fatal blow to Jingxin Fisheries!

This matter is of great importance and naturally cannot be taken lightly.

Better to believe it than to dismiss it!

Qi Dongqiang thought that just yesterday Qi Jinxiong had asked him for a day off, saying he would rest today.

If someone else asked for leave, there would be nothing to suspect.

But Qi Jinxiong has been with the company for so many years, and this was his first time actively asking for leave!

Thinking back to the scene of Qi Jinxiong asking for leave yesterday, the more he thought about it, the more something felt wrong.

Yesterday, when Qi Jinxiong came to the office to ask for leave, his eyes were shifty, and his tone had a hint of nervousness.

At the time, Qi Dongqiang didn’t sense anything, but in light of the current situation, the likelihood that he stole company documents seems high!

As for why the whistleblower knew, he didn’t have time to delve into it.

The most urgent thing now is to get control of Qi Jinxiong and intercept the secret formula from him!

"Qi Jinxiong! You damn traitor! How dare you stab me in the back!"

After cursing in anger, Qi Dongqiang immediately picked up his phone and dialed Captain Wu of the Pingchang District Economic Crime Investigation Brigade.

The Jingxin Fisheries Feed Factory has many confidential formulas, and occasionally they attend meetings at the local economic crime unit.

Over time, Qi Dongqiang became relatively familiar with the people at the economic crime unit.

"Captain Wu..."

Once the call connected, Qi Dongqiang briefly explained the situation to Captain Wu.

He also explicitly stated the huge losses the company would face if the information was leaked.

Finally, he submitted some of Qi Jinxiong’s details, including his current home address.

...

In the Pingchang District, inside the Economic Crime Investigation Brigade.

After hanging up the phone, Wu Xiangnan’s face was both excited and somewhat solemn.

"Captain Wu, what is it? Is it another big case?"

A newly recruited female officer across from Wu Xiangnan, who looked valiant and spirited, asked excitedly.

"The general manager from the Jingxin Fishery Feed Processing Factory, Qi Dongqiang, just said that the head of their laboratory is suspected of stealing confidential files from the company."

"This case is urgent, Xiao Li, immediately notify the action team to begin the capture operation at Bai Gezhuang New Village District!"

"Yes, Captain Wu!"

Xiao Li agreed with a shout and hurried out.

9:27 AM.

Four police cars drove out of the courtyard of the Pingchang District Economic Crime Investigation Brigade, heading straight to Bai Gezhuang New Village District.

9:49 AM, the economic crime unit arrived at Qi Jinxiong’s home and arrested the just-about-to-leave Qi Jinxiong.

They found documents suspected of being classified and a small USB drive in his briefcase.

Qi Dongqiang brought the factory laboratory’s researchers to the economic crime unit for verification.

It was confirmed that the documents in Qi Jinxiong’s briefcase were indeed the confidential formulas he had stolen from the company.

Upon inquiry, it was learned that Qi Jinxiong had already arranged with the buyer to make the trade at the Baodi Hotel in Bei Qi Jia at 11 AM.

Since both parties did not fully trust each other, he had only received a deposit of 100,000 yuan and had not yet disclosed the content of the documents to the other party.

Upon hearing that the information hadn’t been disclosed, Qi Dongqiang and his group finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But they certainly wouldn’t let this matter go with Qi Jinxiong and would definitely prosecute him to set an example.

By the time Qi Dongqiang left the economic crime unit with Dong Qiang and several company researchers, it was already past 11 AM.

After learning of the interrogation results, Qi Dongqiang was finally able to put his mind at ease.

"Dong Qiang, although this matter has been brought under control, the responsibility of the Security Department cannot be shirked."

"Hold a comprehensive security meeting as soon as you return."

"Also, your security measures need to be upgraded and strengthened. Give me a detailed plan."

"I don’t want this kind of incident to happen a second time."

"Additionally, deduct 3,000 yuan from your bonus this month."

"Yes, President Qi!"

Faced with Qi Dongqiang’s punishment, Dong Qiang dared not express any objections.

He himself was also scared to his core.

If Qi Jinxiong had leaked that formula, his punishment wouldn’t stop at a 3,000 yuan fine.

Being fired would have been the least of his worries!
