Miss Star, spoiled by her father and brother

Chapter 619 The Theft at Furui Group

Plans can't keep up with changes.

The father and daughter had just finished their meal and hadn't even left the house yet when the old man's personal terminal suddenly went off.

At first, no one paid much attention, thinking it was just a regular phone call, until the old man exclaimed in astonishment, "What?!"

The atmosphere suddenly became heavy, and everyone stared at his reaction, waiting for an explanation.

There are few times when this powerful patriarch, who has been in charge for many years, can lose his composure like this; it must be something serious that happened on the other end of the phone.

"okay, I get it."

After hanging up, the old man said to everyone with a stern face, "A warehouse on the fourth basement floor of the Furui Building has been breached."

"What's missing?" Siforth asked immediately.

"A newly developed detector."

Except for Xu Weiwei, who didn't understand the deeper meaning behind this, everyone else instantly realized the criminals' purpose. They hadn't expected their worries to come true so quickly.

Xu Weiwei also understood the situation after her family explained it to her.

"We must get it back! We can't let it become a tool to harm people." Her heart was pounding.

"The warehouse's alarm system was activated the moment the door was broken into, and the suspects' vehicle has been locked. They can't escape," the old man said confidently.

Xu Weiwei then thought of another question: "How did the thief know about the detector and where the items were placed?"

"Its existence is no secret. At the time, in order to improve efficiency, we conducted open bidding for several technology companies to find partners. But in the end, due to various reasons, we completed it on our own."

"As for how the thief was so accurate, we'll have to ask our own people."

That's a good question; the president the group hired also wants to know.

"You two are really something! One of you is letting thieves in, and the other is letting them out! The Furui Group can't contain you anymore!"

In an office in the Furui Building, a row of senior executives, from the HR director to the department directors and the general manager, were being reprimanded with their heads bowed. Standing at the very front, bearing the brunt of the criticism, was the HR manager, followed by the security captain.

It's certain that there are criminals within the group, so they admit they're in the wrong.

"Postpone all other work. Human Resources is to investigate all employees involved in personnel changes within the past year and report the suspicious list. Department heads are to conduct one-on-one interviews. Security is also to check the work logs for any abnormal records. If there are none, move the timeline forward. Get it done now," the president commanded, his tone both irritating and methodical.

The people below rushed out of the door, but one person remained standing in place.

"Do you have anything else?"

"There is something..." the security chief said, choosing his words carefully.

“My colleagues have run into him a few times. It happens when the power goes out at the end of the workday, and everyone else has left, but the lights are still on on the 78th floor. I think that guy is a new employee who joined this year…”

The man himself wasn't sure, but if he didn't report it, he had nothing else to say.

They patrol every day, and the logs mostly record "everything is normal".

"78th floor..."

Isn't that the place where the team that was in charge of the detector project was located before?

Thinking of this, the president immediately dialed the internal line.

A short while later, a young man with a name tag around his neck came up. He looked like a perfectly normal intern, cautious and reserved.

The CEO looked him up and down and said, "You really can't judge a book by its cover."

The boy's heart tightened suddenly, then he stubbornly asked, "Boss, what do you mean by that?"

"You'll find out what that means when the police arrive."

……

Time ticked by, and the entire Siforth family gathered in the living room, anxiously waiting in silence, hoping for good news.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned in the end.

The secretary following up called to say that the robbers' vehicle had spontaneously combusted on the side of the road. Police quickly extinguished the fire and went to investigate, finding it parked directly above a manhole. The people inside, carrying machinery, continued their escape down the underground sewage system. This would significantly increase the difficulty of the search.

The group has indeed apprehended a suspicious individual, and it's almost certain that he's the mole planted within the group by the mastermind. However, he's not admitting it yet, and they're currently trying to break down his defenses.

Xu Weiwei understood that the detector was most likely irretrievable.

This was clearly a planned and premeditated theft. The perpetrators had been planning it for who knows how long, even devising an escape route in advance.

Underground pipes, oh, underground pipes...

Who can outrun a mouse in a mouse hole?

Xu Weiwei suddenly stood up and strode out.

Kane hurriedly caught up with her and grabbed her wrist: "Where are you going?"

"Go find His Majesty! It's too late! We have to get ahead of them!" Xu Weiwei couldn't wait a second longer.

The palace's reception hours are from 2 PM to 5 PM, but in an emergency, rules and etiquette are less important than human life.

"Let's go."

"Father……"

Sifus walked past his daughter and ahead of her. Xu Weiwei paused for a moment, then broke free from her brother's hand and caught up with him.

Before this, she wanted to help out of a sense of friendship, but after the unexpected incident, the "friendship" had turned into "responsibility".

I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me.

She couldn't accept that this was happening.

"Father, would His Majesty be willing to intervene?"

"If there are enough benefits."

The conversation between the two seemed particularly oppressive in the quiet car.

Sifus gave an ambiguous answer, which Xu Weiwei felt was not a good sign, as if he was indirectly answering her something. And the truth was indeed so.

Sifus didn't want to deceive his daughter, nor did he want to give her false hope.

Nothing in this world comes for free. Odu II was a politician, a military strategist, and an ambitious man, but certainly not a philanthropist.

Making the Guderians offer equivalent benefits is tantamount to tearing off their spine and severing their tendons.

In a sense, their so-called "help" is also a form of "aggression," but compared to the bloody tearing of other predators, "devouring" and "assimilation" seem less cruel.

The Guderians probably understood this as well, which is why the priest reacted that way.

It’s difficult.
