Chapter 718: An Unexpected Turn (Extra for Silver Leader Arain) (3 Updates)
"Alright, if there's no rush, there's no rush. With such a long lifespan nowadays, waiting a bit might yield better options. I'll head off first."
Sister Zhang said to Liu Mei.
"Okay."
Liu Mei raised her hand to wave goodbye to Sister Zhang.
Soon, only Liu Mei was left in the office. Her smile gradually faded as she hesitated, then picked up her phone to edit a message to an unfamiliar number.
Soon, a message popped up.
"My dear baby, I love you."
Liu Mei looked at the message with a longing smile on her face.
Then she stood up, walked to the office door, closed it, and returned to her computer.
She skillfully opened the company's account, then began inputting commands, using her access to initiate a large public transfer and fictitious plan expenditures.
She quickly got up again and ran to Sister Zhang's computer, turning it on.
Sister Zhang's computer soon entered the key recognition state.
Liu Mei skillfully entered an eight-digit password to access Sister Zhang's computer.
She pulled up the company account and took a black box out of her pocket.
Opening the box, it contained a cloned key data shield and two fingerprint films.
She inserted the cloned key data shield into Sister Zhang's computer for authorization.
Meanwhile, she quickly entered a complex sixteen-digit password.
"Recognition successful!"
"You have a financial expenditure order pending confirmation."
Liu Mei clicked on the authorization order and pressed confirm.
A key box popped up again.
Liu Mei swiftly entered another set of passwords and carefully placed a fingerprint film on her index finger, pressing it on the scanner!
"Recognition successful!"
Soon another prompt appeared on the computer!
"Due to the transaction amount exceeding the daily limit, please have Qian Chengxue perform a secondary authorization."
Liu Mei then applied another fingerprint film and pressed it on the scanner again.
"Authorization successful! Transfer in progress, successful!"
...
Seeing the successful prompt, Liu Mei raced towards the door without a second thought.
The on-duty sisters in the corridor waved to Liu Mei as they saw her.
"Sister Liu!"
Liu Mei nodded slightly in acknowledgment and kept running for the elevator.
The sisters were puzzled.
"What's Liu Mei up to, rushing like that?"
"No idea, maybe something urgent came up."
"Perhaps, though I do envy her, being the company's financial supervisor at such a young age."
...
Soon, Liu Mei drove away from Chenxi Building in her flying car.
Later, in a patch of barren forest on the outskirts of the Imperial City, Liu Mei parked her car.
She stepped out joyfully, seeing a figure standing a short distance ahead.
"Brother Xiao, I did it. Let's leave here quickly, we won't have to worry about life for the rest of our days, and we can be carefree together."
With happiness all over her face, Liu Mei ran up, reaching out to hug the figure from behind.
The figure slowly turned around, none other than Xiao Jie, who caressed Liu Mei's hair with a doting expression.
"Thank you, dear. With this money you got for me, I'll become even more powerful. And that bitch Qian Chengxue and Su Mo will fall into a deep abyss, haha."
Liu Mei was briefly stunned and looked up at Xiao Jie.
"Brother Xiao, I thought we agreed to take the money and fly away together."
"We will fly away, but you need to go first, and I'll come find you soon!"
Xiao Jie suddenly reached out with his gloved hand and grabbed Liu Mei's neck.
"Xiao, Xiao..."
Liu Mei clasped Xiao Jie's hand, crying out in pain but unable to make a sound.
"Thank you."
A ruthless glint flashed in Xiao Jie's eyes.
Crack!
Liu Mei's struggling body instantly went limp, ceasing to struggle.
Xiao Jie released his grip, and Liu Mei fell to the ground motionless, seemingly dead.
He looked down at Liu Mei's body, crouched down, took her phone, and began dealing with the body.
...
Elsewhere, in a restaurant.
Su Mo and Qian Chengxue sat with flushed faces, their eyes a bit misty.
As the restaurant's music played softly, the atmosphere became more intimate.
Su Mo stared at Qian Chengxue's beautiful face, swallowing hard, his heart racing.
He slowly leaned closer, their lips drawing nearer.
Qian Chengxue's hands on her lap clenched nervously, and she couldn't help but close her eyes.
Just as Su Mo was about to kiss Qian Chengxue,
Qian Chengxue's phone vibrated at the most inopportune moment!
Bzzz~
Qian Chengxue instinctively opened her eyes, while Su Mo's expression froze, and he quickly retreated, sitting properly.
The atmosphere turned a bit awkward, and Su Mo inwardly cursed, wondering who the bastard was that messaged at that moment.
To dispel the awkwardness, Qian Chengxue picked up her phone to check the message.
After reading, she suddenly stood up, her expression changing drastically.
"What is it?"
Su Mo was slightly taken aback and asked.
"The company's money has been transferred out."
Qian Chengxue said calmly.
"Could it be some large purchase? But no, what purchase requires a transfer at night? Maybe don't panic yet, try calling to check?"
Su Mo listened and found it incredibly hard to believe.
Qian Chengxue immediately dialed Liu Mei's number.
"Sorry, the number you dialed is switched off and cannot be connected at the moment."
Hearing the message, a bad premonition grew stronger in Qian Chengxue's heart, and she quickly searched for Zhang Yue's number.
Before Qian Chengxue could call, Zhang Yue's call came in.
Qian Chengxue immediately answered.
Zhang Yue, in a panic, said to Qian Chengxue, "Sister Xue, something's wrong. The company's money was inexplicably transferred, and I can't reach Liu Mei."
"Where are you now, and where is Liu Mei?"
Qian Chengxue asked.
"I'm home. I just called the on-duty sisters at the company; they said Liu Mei left the company in her flying car, and the sisters have already gone after her."
Zhang Yue replied immediately.
"Don't worry, I know about it now."
Qian Chengxue then hung up the call.
Su Mo now sensed something was indeed wrong and said to Qian Chengxue, "Did something really happen?"
"Yes, something happened."
Qian Chengxue replied with a very grim expression.
"How much was taken?"
Su Mo asked calmly.
"All of it, not a cent left."
Qian Chengxue clenched her fists, the bones cracking, showing a trace of anger on her fair face.
Su Mo looked serious and said to Qian Chengxue, "Don't panic, let's head back to the company."
"Let's go!"
Qian Chengxue didn't hesitate for a moment.
...
On the way back, Qian Chengxue drove while taking calls on speakerphone.
Sun Li and others called one after another, each sounding very anxious.
Qian Chengxue reassured them one by one, "I know, you all look for her first, I'll be at the company soon, and don't alarm the police yet!"
"Okay."
Sun Li and the others nodded.
"Why not call the police?"
Su Mo asked, a bit curious.
