Chapter 388: Chapter 174: The Female Lead’s Aunt (Part 12)_3

He immediately reported to Mr. He and He Sitian.

”...The computer was stolen? How is that possible? Our R&D department’s doors aren’t made of paper, how could a thief easily get in?”

He Tiantian exclaimed loudly, her tone filled with obvious disbelief.

Meanwhile, Zhao Yongkang was sitting in the living room, seemingly engrossed in a foreign art magazine.

In reality, his ears were perked up like a rabbit’s.

Hearing the words ”was stolen,” Zhao Yongkang’s heart started to race.

However, he wasn’t too shocked or panicked.

It was early morning when the news broke; it was normal, after all—a missing computer, something so crucial, was bound to be noticed by anyone.

Even if it had been stolen, it wasn’t likely that he would be suspected of being the one behind it.

Because, during the day yesterday, Zhao Yongkang had closely observed the lab and noticed that there were no surveillance cameras installed.

It was said to be to prevent data leaks.

Another reason was that the security in the R&D department was extremely strict.

With so many iron doors, each requiring a code, a criminal would need to use explosives to forcefully break in—otherwise, it would be very hard to get inside.

Loose on the inside but tight on the outside, that was the R&D department.

It was precisely because of this realization that Zhao Yongkang dared to go steal in the middle of the night.

”Then let’s call the police!”

Just as Zhao Yongkang was comforting himself with ”It’s fine, it’s fine,” he heard He Tiantian casually make that suggestion.

Call the police?

Oh, right, something was stolen, indeed the police should be called!

But the problem was, without surveillance, even if they reported it, they wouldn’t catch anyone.

And it might also stir up a storm in the city and potentially even affect the stock prices of Lady He’s company.

He Sitian, although a wayward Crown Princess, still had some basic common sense.

She wouldn’t make such a foolish move.

Zhao Yongkang was uneasy; he put down the magazine and slowly walked over to He Tiantian.

Seeing that He Tiantian had just hung up the phone, though she looked unhappy, she wasn’t in the frantic despair you would expect from someone whose core technology had been compromised.

”Sitian? Is there trouble at the company? Why did I hear something about calling the police?” Zhao Yongkang tentatively asked.

”Yes, ugh, I don’t know who the idiot was who ran off to my lab to steal things!”

He Tiantian cursed angrily, her words filled with disdain and mockery for the thief.

Idiot?

Zhao Yongkang felt slightly uncomfortable, not knowing if it was his imagination, but he always felt like he was being implicated.

Could ”He Sitian” have noticed something?

Had she started to suspect him?

”Hmph, it must be some employee. There was already one spy before, and now this—”

He Tiantian ranted angrily, ”And my dad too, he vouched for these people when hiring them, claiming each one was completely reliable!”

”And he said he signed confidentiality agreements with each of them and stipulated huge penalties. Those people wouldn’t dare betray us just for money!”

”...At the time, he spoke so convincingly, but now, here we are with a theft at the lab!”

”When I see dad later, I’ll definitely have a good talk with him. He always scolds me for not focusing on serious business, but he’s the one who’s diligently creating spies—”

Hearing He Tiantian’s words, Zhao Yongkang finally relaxed.

Just knew it wasn’t about me!

While relieved, Zhao Yongkang also felt a bit smug and inwardly scorned ”He Sitian”: So naive, not even suspecting me.

”Employee leaking secrets?”

Zhao Yongkang feigned surprise, then expressed some concern, ”Even if it was done by an employee, without evidence, it might be tough for the police to handle!”

”Who says there’s no evidence?”

At this, the anger on He Tiantian’s face instantly vanished, turning into a glowing, triumphant smile.

”There’s evidence?” Zhao Yongkang’s heart began to pound again.

”Yes!”

He Tiantian nodded, pulled out her phone, and directly made a call, ”He Yonghao, I’m giving you the password to the holographic surveillance. Check it out quickly!”

Surveillance?

And holographic surveillance at that?

Zhao Yongkong felt a chill down his spine, as if he was standing in an ice cellar, ”Sitian, are there cameras in the lab? When I was there yesterday, why, why didn’t I see them?”

”Yes, of course, there are cameras. It’s Lady He Group’s latest holographic surveillance, invisible, yet providing clear, unobstructed views...”

He Tiantian spoke as though it was obvious, as if saying, ”How could such an important place not have surveillance.”

Zhao Yongkong: ...

His face instantly turned ashen.

”Also, Lady He’s holographic surveillance covers the entire building and several intersections nearby—” He Tiantian continued to brag triumphantly.

Zhao Yongkong: ...So, me stealing the notebook and the footage of me meeting with Assistant Zhou by the roadside, all got captured?!
