Chapter 945


    “No, he isn''t. I''ve checked with the Maintenance Department, and they''ve confirmed that he isn''t one of


    theirs. In fact, he isn''t even from thispany. He knocked out one of our staff from the Maintenance


    Department and took this uniform off him!” Ss replied angrily.


    The coldness in Shane''s expression intensified as he asked, “How is that employee''s condition now?”


    “He''s fine and has already returned to duty. The elevators are scheduled for maintenance today, and


    this guy knocked the staff out while he was on his way to service the elevators. He then changed into


    this uniform and snuck into your office, Mr. Shane,” Ss said while pointing at the man.


    The man looked up at them with tears and snot all over his face as he whimpered in fear. “I''m sorry, Mr.


    Shane! Please spare me! I''m begging you!”


    The man leaned forward submissively, only to have Ss kick his head back as he said with a sneer,


    “That''s it? You were stealing from our CEO''s office! Did you really think a simple apology would


    suffice?”


    The man trembled even more intensely as he stammered, “I-I was just blinded by the money! I—”


    Shane cut him off coldly, “Are you one of Sean''s men? Or did he hire you just for this job?”


    “I... He hired me just for this job. I''m a professional thief for hire that specializes in stealing corporate


    documents. I was gaming at home when I got a call from someone asking me to steal an equity


    transfer agreement from your office. I knew Thompson Group wasn''t some smallpany that I can


    easily steal from, but the money offered was just so great that I...”


    Had I known that I would get caught like this, I would never have agreed to the job no matter how much


    I was offered! I can''t believe I let my sessful attempts in the past get to my head! I actually thought I


    would get away with it even though Thompson Group is one of the top fiftypanies in the world.


    Ugh, those smallerpanies sure are nothingpared torge ones like these. Right now, I''m


    completely at their mercy...


    The man smiled wryly and regretted his actions greatly at the thought of that.


    “You specialize in helping others steal corporate documents?” Shane narrowed his eyes. This is the


    first time I''ve heard of such a profession!


    All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Ss cleared his throat as he said, “It''s true that such a profession exists, albeit in the shadows. When


    companies wish to obtain top-secret data or evidence from otherpanies, they would hire men like


    him to steal it for them. You can think of it as an underhanded method of acquiring said documents, Mr.


    Shane.”


    Shane sneered. “Heh, this certainly is eye-opening.”


    Ss shot the man a cold re. “No one has ever dared steal from Thompson Group, so it''s normal


    that you haven''t heard of such things. This guy is just a little bolder than the others, that''s all!”


    The man shrank back a little. “I''ve already told you everything, Mr. Shane! Please let me go! I didn''t


    steal anything! I''ve got an elderly mother and a young child to look after!”


    “You have a child, and yet you''re still doing this sort of thing? Do you want your child to live the rest of


    his life in shame because of you?” Shane asked coldly.


    The man lowered his head. “I... It''s not like I wanted to... I''m only doing this to survive!”


    “To survive? Heh!” Shane couldn''t be bothered to see if he was lying nor look into his actual identity. He


    then turned toward Ss and said, “Where''s his phone? Have him call Sean and tell him he got the


    equity transfer agreement.”


    Ss'' eyes lit up instantly. “Are you trying to bait Sean intoing out of hiding, Mr. Shane? Get him to


    reveal his location or something, perhaps?”


    Shane nodded slightly. “Yeah.”


    “All right.” Ss then whipped out the man''s phone and held it up to his face as he said, “Unlock it and


    make the call.”


    Shana snaarad. “Hah, this cartainly is aya-opaning.”


    Ss shot tha man a cold ra. “No ona has avar darad staal from Thompson Group, so it''s normal


    that you havan''t haard of such things. This guy is just a lit boldar than tha othars, that''s all!”


    Tha man shrank back a lit. “I''va alraady told you avarything, Mr. Shana! asat ma go! I didn''t


    staal anything! I''va got an aldarly mothar and a young child to look aftar!”


    “You hava a child, and yat you''ra still doing this sort of thing? Do you want your child to liva tha rast of


    his lifa in shama bacausa of you?” Shana askad coldly.


    Tha man lowarad his haad. “I... It''s not lika I wantad to... I''m only doing this to surviva!”


    “To surviva? Hah!” Shana couldn''t ba botharad to saa if ha was lying nor look into his actual idantity. Ha


    than turnad toward Ss and said, “Whara''s his phona? Hava him call Saan and tall him ha got tha


    aquity transfar agraamant.”


    Ss'' ayas lit up instantly. “Ara you trying to bait Saan intoing out of hiding, Mr. Shana? Gat him to


    ravaal his location or somathing, parhaps?”


    Shana noddad slightly. “Yaah.”


    “All right.” Ss than whippad out tha man''s phona and hald it up to his faca as ha said, “Unlock it and


    maka tha call.”
