Chapter 15 The Female Supporting Character in the Control Group—Little Thief, Don't Even Think About Escaping!

After seeing the message, Shen Yu immediately called back, but as expected, the phone was switched off.

His thin lips were pressed into a straight line, his face was expressionless, and his eyes, which had been shocked at the beginning, were now calm and still. The bright sunlight shone in from outside the curtains, bringing some light to the unlit lounge.

At first, Shen Yu was a little angry, with a tightness in his chest that he couldn't get out of, and he even felt a little wronged. Not only had his carefully planned scheme been ruined, but more importantly, he missed her.

Shen Yu was overjoyed and experienced the taste of longing for the first time. He thought he would soon see the person he longed for, but before he could even carry out the surprise he had prepared, he received such a big "surprise".

After spending half an hour alone in the lounge, Shen Yu went from being angry to reflecting, and finally he completely let go of his resentment. He concluded that the main problem was that he was too busy on weekdays and didn't have time to spend with his wife.

No wonder Yaoyao was unusually well-behaved last night. Thinking of the promise he made to her at the end, Shen Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He dug this pit himself, so he deserved to fall into it.

After calming himself down, Shen Yu replied to Yao Yao's WeChat message: Have fun out there, I'll be waiting for you to come back. [Heart emoji]

The lounge was fully equipped. In the early days of Shen Yu's full takeover of the Shen family business, in order to better steer this great ship, Shen Yu often stayed in the lounge. He always believed that hard work pays off, and of course, he was a very smart and diligent person.

After everything was settled, Shen Yu first notified the captain of the private jet to cancel the flight, and then walked out of the lounge with steady steps. Everything was as calm as it seemed on the surface.

As Shen Yu's most capable secretary, Zhou Feng had a precise grasp of Shen Yu's whereabouts, preferences, and emotional changes. However, he made a mistake today.

Shen usually starts work at nine o'clock. In the past, Zhou Feng would arrive on time because he had a child to take to school, and his boss didn't mind.

Today, Zhou Feng arrived at Shen's at 8:30. Because his boss was going to Shanghai, his work was busier than usual. He prepared for the day's work in advance. He estimated that his boss was already on his way to Shanghai.

Yesterday, Shen Yu instructed Zhou Feng that he would be in charge of arranging the company's affairs for the next few days, while Zhou Feng would be responsible for reporting major matters by phone.

Zhou Feng, carrying a stack of documents, headed to the conference room, which was right next to the president's office. As he entered, he glanced over there instinctively and noticed a crack in the door to the president's office, letting in a sliver of light.

The president left, and his office was locked; no one was allowed to enter!

What's the situation now?

The usually shrewd and capable Secretary Zhou stood frozen in place, his eyes wide and his mouth agape, as if his entire body had turned to stone.

Has the Shen family been robbed? Is it an inside job or an outside job? Is it for money or corporate espionage? For the few dozen seconds that Secretary Zhou was frozen in shock, his brain was racing with speculation, engaging in a mental storm.

The situation was dire and urgent. While inwardly berating the security guards for their negligence, Secretary Zhou was also thinking about how to handle the aftermath.

Since they didn't know how many people were inside and didn't want to alert the thief, Secretary Zhou directly contacted the security captain via WeChat to bring people up to the 26th floor to catch the thief!

Soon, the security captain arrived with a dozen or so men, all of them drenched in sweat. They tiptoed toward the president's office.

The security captain stared intently at the office door with a fierce expression, as if he wanted to swallow the thief inside. Today's situation was his mistake, and he didn't dare to think about what might happen next.

The security captain silently gestured to the dozen or so people who had followed him, reminding them not to forget the layout they had just discussed in the elevator.

Everyone nodded emphatically!

Everyone's face was tense, and the air was thick with tension. Time ticked by, and the dozen or so meters of road were finally covered.

The crowd gathered in front of the office door. The security captain and another security guard led the way, while those behind had clear roles: some were responsible for surrounding the door, while others were responsible for blocking it. Secretary Zhou, on the other hand, was responsible for taking videos with his phone as evidence.

"You little thief! Don't move! You're surrounded!" The moment the door was pushed open, the security captain shouted at the air with a baton in hand, his voice deafening.

The rest of the people moved as smoothly as eels, quickly splitting into two lines, shoulder to shoulder with the security captain, forming a circle to trap the thief inside. Secretary Zhou then quickly found a corner that wouldn't get in the way and had an excellent vantage point for taking pictures, so that he could capture all the footage clearly.

The arrest operation was perfectly planned, a true classic. The only flaw was that the thief wasn't there.

Chen Yu sat at his desk, staring at the dozen or so burly men opposite him. Silence reigned for a long time; the silence was so profound you could hear a pin drop.

When Secretary Zhou realized what was happening, he cowered in the corner, too embarrassed to move, and wanted to pick his toes in embarrassment!

The security captain's face turned bright red as he inwardly cursed Secretary Zhou for being unreliable; the situation was worse than if there had actually been a thief! Although it had just been a false alarm, the current scene was even more terrifying!

Who dares to call the big boss a thief to his face?! The security captain felt his career was over! Thinking about the excellent benefits and compensation at Shen's company, the security captain was already on the verge of tears!

Shen Yu's brows remained furrowed, and he leaned back, his voice serious: "What's going on?"

The people gathered in a circle looked at each other, and no one spoke up for a moment. How could they express themselves in a way that would satisfy both the boss and the people, so as not to offend Mr. Shen or lose their jobs?

As the security captain was mentally preparing his words, Secretary Zhou cautiously stepped forward and sincerely admitted his mistake: "President Chen, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I was the one who called the security captain up. I had insomnia last night and didn't get enough sleep, which made me feel unwell this morning and I was dazed."

In the end, Secretary Zhou took the blame for everything. He couldn't very well question his boss, "You should be on the plane to Shanghai right now, why haven't you moved yet, and why are you sitting calmly at your desk? Who was it that notified him yesterday that he was flying to Shanghai at 8:30 this morning?"

Listening to Secretary Zhou's explanation, Shen Yu understood what had happened. Considering the cause and effect, Shen Yu knew that he had his own reasons for today's events, and that Secretary Zhou's actions were to protect the interests of the Shen family, so there was nothing to blame him for. However, he also had to protect the boss's reputation.

Shen Yu glanced at the people standing in front of him and said calmly, "I'll let it go this time. You were all acting in the company's best interests. Next time, please avoid acting impulsively."

Upon hearing President Shen's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and bowed in thanks: "Thank you, President Shen!"
