Chapter 704: Theft
The only direction he had arranged was covered by the Heavenly Net. Anyone who tried to enter his office without his permission or harbored any dubious intentions would find no escape and face inevitable doom...
Of course, this was just his precautionary measure. In fact, as the owner of the building, he was extremely confident about its security. He believed that even a martial arts expert like himself, with abilities beyond ordinary people, would find it absolutely impossible to breach the multiple layers of protection and enter the core of the building. When the building was first completed, they had even invited the strongest Special Forces Team from Country M to test it. The final conclusion was that even those highly professional agents could not break through the building’s stringent security!
After he returned, he even personally tried and ultimately failed...
Thus, Li Ziyoung was very confident, even arrogant, about the security of his office...
When Li Ziyoung pushed open the door to his office, he was in a particularly good mood, even humming a tune. According to the messages and intelligence he had learned today, those annoying police officers who had been entangled with Chen Jianguo’s case for several days had finally shifted their focus, completely drawn away by two consecutive, unexpected incidents. He estimated that for the coming period, the case involving Chen Jianguo would likely be put on hold. They probably wouldn’t have the capacity to deal with it anymore.
Originally, he had not planned to return to the office and was going straight home, but as he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered that an important document had been left in the office during the day. Although it was not a very critical document, and he could have dealt with it tomorrow, he always believed that leaving today’s work for tomorrow was not a good habit because tomorrow would bring its own tasks.
However, the moment he opened the door to the office, his facial expression suddenly changed, and the tune in his mouth abruptly stopped!
His office had been robbed!
Li Ziyoung immediately had an ominous premonition, sensing something unusual in the office...
Ever since he took over the great responsibility of the Li family from his grandfather, besides home, this office had become like his second home. He had spent the longest time here, even more than at the Li family old mansion!
He was incredibly familiar with this office. He could say that any slight rustle or unusual change could not escape his notice. To exaggerate a bit, even if the smell in the office changed, he could detect it!
With an unbelievable, dire premonition, his eyes slowly moved towards the front desk, towards the cabinet behind the desk...
When his gaze made out the situation inside the office, his brain almost buzzed explosively, his whole body wobbled, and he nearly collapsed on the spot from dizziness!
The office was in such disarray that it looked like a battlefield that had just undergone a fierce fight. The documents on the desk were scattered in a mess, and the cabinet behind the desk had all its doors flung open. The floor of the office was also chaotically covered with things...
After a while, Li Ziyoung finally regained his composure, despite the feeling inside him that seemed to have ignited. He shivered and dashed towards the back of the desk, his gaze moving towards a drawer below the desk.
In the moment he rushed there, his heart was almost suspended in his throat!
He kept praying in his heart, even reciting the names of all the gods and buddhas, both Eastern and Western, whom he never believed in or respected. He hoped that they could help him this once, hoping that there had been no theft there...
However, when his gaze clearly saw the direction of that drawer, his body could no longer stand it and collapsed onto the ground, his complexion turning pale as if drained of all blood...
The gods and buddhas had either not heard his prayers or had ignored them...
The drawer was completely pulled out, utterly empty, and the mini-safe that was supposed to be inside had vanished...
"How could this happen!"
Li Ziyoung murmured to himself, his face deathly pale and his eyes filled with fear and despondence. If there was anything in this office that was most crucial to him, it would undoubtedly be this drawer. Inside this drawer, the micro-safe was supposed not only to contain his most important business documents but also many other items concerning the Li Group and his own secrets that could not withstand the light of day...
"How could this happen!"
"How could this happen!"
"......"
Li Ziyoung’s heart was completely in turmoil, and in his mind, only this sentence remained, repeating over and over...
"Thump!"
Finally, he could no longer control himself. He felt like he was going crazy, about to explode. His hand fiercely slapped the desk in front of him. The entire expensive, solid-core rosewood desk instantly emitted a sound, a slight cracking noise, and a large crack appeared on the surface of the desk.
"Who is it, who is it, who is the bastard that did this? He can’t escape... I must tear him into a thousand pieces!"
Li Ziyoung didn’t pay attention to the cracked desk. Only after hearing that slight cracking sound did his mind begin to regain some ability to think and reason. He started mumbling to himself while trembling, and as he mumbled, he picked up the phone from the adjacent desk and dialed the company’s security center.
"You bastard, you can’t escape, you definitely can’t escape... Daring to make a mess in my office, I’ll make you wish you were dead! I will make sure you have no grave to be buried in!"
Li Ziyoung’s eyes were completely bloodshot, layers of web-like blood vessels instantly filled his eyes, and his gaze was incredibly venomous. His teeth gritted with a creaking sound, his fists clenched so tightly as if he was going to exert all his strength, and the veins on his forehead appeared fearsomely hideous.
His heart was constantly cursing, wanting to torment to death the person who entered his office.
The response time of the security system at Oriental Plaza was undoubtedly outstanding. Less than a minute after Li Ziyoung’s call, the security guards appeared one after another at the office door. Seeing the chaotic situation in Li Ziyoung’s office, all the security guards were stunned.
Each one had a hint of guesswork in their minds, but a look of disbelief appeared in everyone’s eyes. They simply couldn’t believe that such a thing could happen, especially right under their watch...
They wanted to say something, but upon seeing Li Ziyoung’s ferocious demeanor, they shrank back and lowered their heads...
"Can someone tell me what exactly is going on here!"
Li Ziyoung coldly stared at the security guards in front of him.
"Director Li, this..."
"I spend so much money to hire you not to come here for fun and relaxation, but to protect the assets and safety of our Li Group and the building! Now, just look at this, look, what all these are..."
The head of the security team just started to explain, but before he could even start, Li Ziyoung interrupted him. Like a wounded beast, Li Ziyoung found a vent for his frustration, and began to roar furiously.
All the security guards, seeing Li Ziyoung wild like a mad beast, could only bow their heads in silence, not daring to say a word...
"Immediately, right now, check for me, find out what is going on, who did this! If you can’t find it out, then you won’t need to work here anymore!"
Finally, after venting for a while, Li Ziyoung managed to expel some of the rage burning inside him, and became somewhat clearer-headed. He realized that the most important thing now was to track down that damn thief and recover those important items.
"Yes, we’ll investigate right away!"
The head of the security team, not daring to say another word, quickly turned and left. It wasn’t just because of Li Ziyoung’s fury; at this moment, he felt a deep humiliation and anger. Someone had sneaked into the building, into Chairman Li’s office, and left it looking like a dog’s kennel! Wasn’t this a slap in their faces?
At the same time, he felt puzzled. Li Ziyoung could question their professional ethics and quality, but they knew very well that they hadn’t neglected their duty. During working hours, they had always been seriously performing their security tasks, including his subordinates, whom he trusted completely. They were all from the same military unit with him, absolutely unlikely to commit dereliction of duty, especially since he managed them very strictly. (To be continued.
