Chapter 969


    I pursed my lips and thought for a few seconds before getting into the car.


    In the car, they took away my phone.


    I looked coldly at them and said, "This is kidnapping."


    "We''re going through formal procedures to carry out a n investigation against you."


    I sneered and said no more.

    The car drove to awyer’s office, and I was taken into an enclosed room.


    The women kept questioning me about whichpany sent me but I had no way of answering


    them.


    After an hour, I lost my patience and said to them in a cold voice, "This is illegal imprisonment. You


    have no right to interrogate me either. I want awyer."


    One of the women said, "You don''t need awyer, Ms. Lane. No one will give you trouble if you''re


    honest with us."


    I was so furious that Iughed. "Alright, I won''t call mywyer now, but can I at least contact my


    family to let them know that I''m safe?"


    The woman said with a frown, "Of course, but the documents you stole are extremely confidential,


    so for


    the safety of your family, I suggest that it''s best you don''t contact them right now."


    "I don’t need you to be so considerate about me. I need to tell my family whether I’m safe or not. I


    hope you know your ce. You have no right to detain me nor stop me from contacting my family."


    I had only been in Riverbank City for less than a month. No one except Horton knew about my past,


    so who exactly set such a huge trap for me?


    Why did that person do that?


    Seeing that I was insistent about contacting my family, the women agreed but did not pass me my


    phone. Instead, they told me to wait a little longer.


    I waited until dawn, and a man walked in holding a te.


    He walked up to me and handed me the te, on top o f which were two buns.


    I did not take them and asked him, "Can I call my family now?"


    The man nodded and pulled out a phone from his pocket, handing it to me.


    I was stunned, not expecting him to hand me a phone so readily. After all, this seemed more like a


    kidnapping case than anything else.


    However, I had no time to think and quickly called Horton.


    He was the only person I knew in Riverbank City.


    The call was answered very quickly and a sleepy voice came through. "Yeah?"


    I pursed my lips. "Ourpany’swyers took me away, saying that I stole ourpany''s top


    secrets. They refuse to let me leave their office. Can youe with awyer?"


    Horton was struck dumb and only came back to his senses after a very long time. "I''ll be there with


    awyer immediately."


    When I hung up, the man asked for his phone back.


    He put the te on the table in front of me and said indifferently, "Have something to eat. Don''t


    worry. No one will give you any trouble if you can bepletely honest with us."


    I pursed my lips, not responding to him.


    Sincest night, these people had seemed very interested in knowing who ordered me to steal the


    company''s top secrets, but in fact, this was merely a pretense to detain me. 1


    I still had no idea why they were detaining me, though.


    The man left and locked the door once again.
