Lin An held his phone, staring intently at the screen, his eyes fixed on Zhang Wanru on the screen.
In the video, Zhang Wanru walks gracefully into his office, her high heels clicking crisply on the floor.
She seemed to be in a good mood; her whole face was smiling.
She walked to the desk and gently put down the lunchbox in her hand.
Lin An's heart sank; he hoped Zhang Wanru would turn around and leave.
In the video, Zhang Wanru slowly turns around, but instead of walking out as Lin An wished, she tiptoes to close the office door and lock it behind her.
After doing all this, she took a deep breath.
Then, she quickly walked to Lin An's computer and turned it on.
To make it easier for her to operate, Lin An had already canceled the power-on password.
Then, she took the small hard drive that Chen Xiaohe had prepared for her out of her pocket and inserted it into the computer's port.
With a crisp click, the hard drive was successfully connected to the computer. Next, Zhang Wanru got to work.
She copied and pasted everything she could see on the computer into her hard drive, including desktop shortcuts.
Lin An's computer contains a lot of information, including all the company's important documents and financial statements.
At this moment, Lin An and Xu Mo watched silently as Zhang Wanru stole company documents, their faces grim.
Lin An was completely disillusioned with Zhang Wanru; she was utterly hopeless. However, he didn't seem to care much about the things Zhang Wanru had stolen.
The main reason is that there is nothing particularly confidential. The company had just begun its transformation into a high-tech industry when its R&D team was poached, and there has been no real progress yet.
Moreover, Lin An conducts business in accordance with the law, pays all taxes due, and has nothing to hide.
The most valuable thing Zhang Wanru could steal is probably the summary of her live-streaming scripts.
In the surveillance footage, Zhang Wanru looked nervously at the transmission progress bar, paying attention to the sounds outside the office. The process lasted for a long time, and she was afraid that Lin An would suddenly come back from the meeting and catch her.
She knew in her heart that what she was doing was wrong; taking something without asking is stealing, something even a child knows.
If discovered, Lin An certainly wouldn't let her off easily.
But she was like a demon, constantly telling herself that as long as she could get the information and please Chen Xiaohe, she could build a new family and rise to the top, becoming a person that everyone envied.
Zhang Wanru breathed a sigh of relief when the last file was successfully copied.
She removed the hard drive from the computer and carefully put it into her handbag.
She then shut down her computer, tidied up her desktop, and made sure everything was back to normal.
After finishing these tasks, Zhang Wanru stood up happily. It was as if God was helping her; she had been copying for more than half an hour without being disturbed by anyone. Looking at the hard drive in her hand, she was overjoyed.
She couldn't wait to tell Chen Xiaohe: "Xiaohe, I did it!"
Lin An looked at her smiling face, his expression turning frighteningly grim. His eyes flashed with anger, his fists clenched so tightly that his nails dug deep into his palms.
After leaving the office, Zhang Wanru was even more arrogant than when she entered. She surveyed the office area: "Very good, everyone is working diligently! Only a few are distracted..."
The scrutinizing look in her eyes made many employees feel uncomfortable.
Everyone was chatting enthusiastically in the chat group:
"Why is this woman here again?"
"Look at the way she looks at me, like she's some kind of leader on an inspection tour."
"Holy crap! I was just eating a cookie and she glared at me! Who does she think she is? Even President Lin doesn't glare at me!!!"
"She must think of herself as the lady of the company."
"It's somewhat of a serious illness!"
"Has Mr. Lin really reconciled with her?"
"It seems that since President Lin is not here, she can freely enter and leave the president's office. It must be because President Lin has given her permission."
"Ugh...so annoying!"
With an arrogant smile on her face, Zhang Wanru rolled her eyes at the receptionist and confidently walked into the elevator.
At the elevator entrance, Lin An was quietly waiting with Xu Mo and the five-person startup team.
Lin An said expressionlessly, "You five, wait for Zhang Wanru to come down, capture her, and take her to the building's security room."
A dozen seconds later, the elevator doors opened, and Zhang Wanru was stunned for a moment as she and Lin An locked eyes. She instinctively covered her mouth and exclaimed:
"Lin An! What are you doing here? Weren't you in a meeting?"
At this moment, she was still unaware of the seriousness of the situation.
Lin An ignored her and tilted his head at the person next to him.
Everyone instantly understood.
They immediately rushed into the elevator and surrounded Zhang Wanru. Zhang Wanru was so frightened that she didn't dare to move. The two men stepped forward, one on each side, and pulled Zhang Wanru out of the elevator.
Xu Mo carefully held his phone, pointing the camera at Zhang Wanru. He meticulously filmed everything, ensuring that every detail was accurately recorded to form a complete chain of evidence.
He knew this evidence was crucial for the subsequent legal proceedings and could not be omitted or flawed in any way.
Zhang Wanru's face turned pale. She tried to struggle, but was held tightly by the crowd.
"What are you doing? Let me go!" Zhang Wanru screamed, her voice revealing a hint of panic.
However, no one answered her calls. Lin An calmly surveyed the scene before him and said coldly, "Take him to the security room!"
"Son, what are you doing? I'm your mother, why are you grabbing me?"
Lin An, who was walking ahead, paused for a moment and said coldly, "Don't you know why we arrested you?"
As they were talking, Lin An took a hard drive out of her bag and waved it in front of her.
Out of fear, Zhang Wanru gasped for breath and asked incredulously, "How did you know?"
"I clearly saw that there was no one there!!"
The two young men who grabbed her put their arms behind her back and, no matter what she said, roughly pushed her into the security room.
It's currently working hours, and the security guards are all on duty outside; there's no one else in the break room.
Lin An decided to talk to Zhang Wanru alone.
There are some things that need to be said properly.
