Chapter 240 Unable to Convict

"Go ahead," Huo Jiansheng said calmly.

"OK."

The private investigator responded and made sure to close the office door behind him as he left.

Huo Jiansheng picked up the USB drive and plugged it into the computer.

He was stunned when he saw the contents of the USB drive.

Realizing that it was Huang Dehan who lost it, he instantly understood.

Huang Dehan is a real old fox. No wonder he couldn't find any evidence that he was selling company secrets. It turns out they were trading through the trash can.

This is the evidence.

However, this evidence is not enough to convict Huang Dehan.

Because to catch a thief, you need to catch him red-handed, and to catch an adulterer, you need to catch them in the act, he didn't find any evidence that Huang Dehan was trading with someone else. Huang Dehan could argue that he accidentally lost the USB drive.

Although copying company secrets without authorization is illegal, Huang Dehan did not use them for profit, so he did not commit the crime of infringing trade secrets and was not held legally responsible.

At worst, I'll be fired by the company.

However, if he gets fired for copying company secrets, he'll be ruined in the industry, and no company will dare to hire him in the future.

In fact, this also achieved Riemann's goal of making Huang Dehan lose his job.

It has to be said that Huang Dehan is a real old fox; it's incredibly difficult to find evidence against him.

After returning home, Huang Dehan felt increasingly uneasy. He suspected that someone had discovered what he had done, otherwise his USB drive would not have disappeared.

Who would bother rummaging through the trash cans? Who would bother taking this inconspicuous USB drive?

It's not like it's anything valuable.

The fact that the USB drive is missing can only mean that he has been targeted.

Thinking of this, Huang Dehan broke out in a cold sweat.

...

Huo Jiansheng picked up the landline and instructed his secretary, "Book me a plane ticket to Ancheng."

"Tonight?"

"Yes, the sooner the better."

"Okay, Mr. Huo."

When we arrived in Ancheng, it was already 11:30 p.m.

After getting off the plane, Huo Jiansheng didn't call Li Man; he took a taxi directly to the hospital.

Upon arriving at the ward, Huo Jiansheng gently knocked on the door.

Li Man opened the door and saw Huo Jiansheng, her face beaming with surprise, "Huo Jiansheng, what brings you here?"

"What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"

"Happy? How could I not be happy?"

Huo Jiansheng's lips curled up involuntarily as he looked at the hospital bed; Li Liangsheng was already asleep.

Not seeing Zhang Yan, Huo Jiansheng asked, "Where's Auntie?"

"My mom went home. Come on, let's go outside and talk."

With that, Riemann walked out of the ward.

The two sat down on chairs in the corridor.

"Why did you come so late? You didn't even call me so I could have picked you up," Riemann complained.

Upon hearing this, Huo Jiansheng's smile deepened. "No need for that trouble, I can just take a taxi here myself."

"Are you tired? Do you want to go and rest first? Come on, I'll book a hotel for you."

As she spoke, Riemann stood up.

"Wait a minute, I have something to tell you."

"What's up?"

Upon hearing this, Riemann sat down again.

“I have obtained evidence that Huang Dehan sold company secrets.”

As he spoke, Huo Jiansheng pulled out a USB drive. "However, this USB drive can only make him lose his job, because I didn't catch him making any transactions with others."

Riemann took the USB drive, looked at it, and asked, "Is this containing company secrets?"

Huo Jiansheng nodded.

"How did you get it?" Riemann asked curiously.

“I had someone keep an eye on Huang Dehan. My men noticed him suspiciously throwing away trash, so they picked it up and found this USB drive inside.”
