Chapter 109: False Alarm

“Manager Jia, what do we do if President Fang really came to the company and uncovered the products we’ve been making?” An anxious employee inquired, fearing that Fang Yuan would expose their activities.

“Considering President Fang’s investigations, it won’t be long before all our secrets are laid bare!” 𝘣𝑒𝘥𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝑙．𝘤𝘰𝘮

“Could we lose our jobs over this?”

“If President Fang discovers our actions, losing our jobs would be the least of our concerns. We might even end up behind bars!”

Manager Jia overheard their frantic chatter and scoffed, “If something happens to someone on their way to work, like a car accident or the like, it won’t be our fault… She can only blame it on her misfortune.”

The employees were taken aback by his response. Manager Jia was implying that if President Fang came to the company and uncovered something she shouldn’t see, he would harm her? However, President Fang was dispatched by the headquarters. Could she have some powerful backing they were unaware of?

After a while, the person who had checked the surveillance cameras returned. “Manager Jia, President Fang did not visit the company tonight. The person who claimed to have seen her must have been mistaken.”

Manager Jia sighed in relief. “It was a false alarm. What are we waiting for then? Let’s get back to work!”

“Phew, that was a close one. 1 was genuinely concerned that President Fang had already made her way to the warehouse!”

As they chatted, five or six individuals switched off the lights and prepared to leave.

At that moment, Fang Yuan’s phone began to vibrate several times. It was a call from Bo Yi, and her voice recording function was forcibly interrupted.

Manager Jia seemed to catch wind of something and immediately inquired, “Whose phone is ringing?”

“None of ours…” Several employees checked their phones, but none of them had received a call.

Fang Yuan quickly ended Bo Yi’s call, turned her phone on silent mode, and responded to him on WeChat: [1 have something to attend to. We’ll meet later.] [Alright.] Bo Yi assumed that she was in trouble and reasoned that he might be overthinking things.

Manager Jia strained to listen for any further sounds but heard nothing. Had he really been mistaken?

“Manager Jia, you’re being too jumpy. I think that girl has gotten you all worked up! Hahaha…”

“Exactly. This warehouse isn’t that big. If there were truly someone hiding, we’d have found them by now.”

Their laughter and taunts eased the tension, and they led Manager Jia away. The warehouse door was closed.

Fang Yuan’s expression darkened. It appeared that they harbored more secrets than she had initially suspected.

The warehouse remained shrouded in darkness. Fang Yuan didn’t descend immediately; instead, she waited on the beam for a while.

Outside, the illumination was as bright as daylight. A few figures lingered near the warehouse door. Through the gap in the door, their silhouettes cast long shadows on the ground.

After some time, the warehouse door was abruptly pushed open, and the individuals entered once more.

Manager Jia activated the lights, his eyes scanning the area like torches as he hoped to spot the concealed intruder.

The workers joined the search, but they still found no one.

“Manager Jia, we even went through the boxes in the corner. There’s absolutely no one here.”

“Now you can relax!”

“You mentioned the sound of a vibrating phone. You must have misheard it.”

Manager Jia continued to survey the warehouse, sensing that something was amiss, though he couldn’t quite pinpoint it. The atmosphere felt ominous.

“If there was truly someone inside the warehouse, they’d have made their move once we left…”

“We waited by the door for quite some time earlier. If there was someone inside, it’s impossible for there to have been no sound whatsoever.”

“That’s right, Manager Jia. You’re probably overthinking it.”

Manager Jia’s gaze continued to scan the warehouse, but everything seemed unchanged. He eventually relented, saying, “I hope so.”

This time, he genuinely switched off the lights. However, before leaving, he opted to change the password and retain the previous one, thinking that if his instincts were accurate, and if someone was genuinely inside the warehouse, the new password could ensnare them. Conversely, if no one was present, anyone trying to enter using the old password would be unsuccessful.

Upon hearing the prompt to change the password, Fang Yuan couldn’t help but smirk coldly. This man was indeed quite cautious. Regrettably, this door posed no challenge to her. Regardless of how many passwords he changed, it was futile. There was no system in this world that could withstand her hacking skills. How could a mere door keep her at bay?

Fang Yuan descended from the beam and explored the warehouse further. She discovered a substantial pile of substandard fabric concealed in a less noticeable corner of the warehouse. It appeared to be the raw materials employed in the production of the inferior goods. Her expression darkened as she infiltrated the company’s surveillance system. When she confirmed that no one was lurking outside the door, she opened it and departed.

Bo Yi had been waiting outside for over 40 minutes. As he spotted the familiar figure emerging, he hastened towards her and embraced her. “Is it done?”

Fang Yuan nodded, saying, “Yes.”

“I’ll take you home.” Bo Yi, noting that it was getting late, drove her back to her place..
