Catherine, who was originally ready to leave after finishing the discussion, was in a bad state after receiving a call from ifu.
The notion that Bai Xiaosheng used himself as bait to direct her full attention while covering for a servant to steal evidence sounded absurd and unbelievable.
Yet it actually happened!
How could that fool ifu allow a servant to access confidential docunts!
Catherine was furious, but there was no ti to dwell on it now; she was not in the mood.
At this mont, Catherine stared at Bai Xiaosheng, waving her disconnected phone, "Mr. Bai, what’s going on? What do you an by this!"
"What’s going on?" Bai Xiaosheng feigned surprise.
"Daisy stole sothing important from us. Did you instruct her?" Catherine’s gaze beca sharper as she revealed her accusation.
"Did that happen?" Bai Xiaosheng looked astonished. "Since your household has lost sothing so important, why not call the police."
Bai Xiaosheng offered a suggestion.
"!" Catherine was really infuriated by Bai Xiaosheng.
Could they call the police without their family’s secrets being exposed to the public!
"I hope this was a decision you made before I arrived, Mr. Bai, and after our conversation, we no longer fight against each other!" Catherine said in a deep voice. "Since Daisy is soone you’ve helped, if you still wish to cooperate with us, I’d like to ask your help to recover the originals of the docunts we lost! This way, it benefits both you and ..."
Bai Xiaosheng nodded slightly, a non-committal response.
Catherine nodded expressionlessly in return, then turned and left.
Bai Xiaosheng watched Catherine’s back as she walked away.
With her back to Bai Xiaosheng, Catherine’s face was extrely grim.
After Catherine left, Bai Xiaosheng raised his hand, called the café manager over, and ordered another cup of his favorite freshly ground coffee.
"Aren’t you leaving..." The café manager was a bit surprised and tentatively asked.
"The coffee here is pretty good; why should I leave?" Bai Xiaosheng laughed. "By the way, your boss is a friend of mine. Shouldn’t you comp the coffee for ?"
The café owner, "..."
After exiting the café, Catherine, with a cold expression, didn’t speak to anyone and took the lead, walking briskly away alone.
Catherine’s subordinates, seeing this, didn’t dare to speak and quietly followed her at a slight distance.
Once out of the café’s visible range, Catherine dismissed everyone, took out her phone, and made a call.
"Dear, it’s !" Catherine’s contact was, of course, Landvo.
"How did it go? Did that Bai Xiaosheng agree to beco friends with us?" ca Landvo’s deep voice from the other end.
"I’ve told him everything and agreed that he will reply before midnight tonight," Catherine said. "However, I feel he’s probably not planning to be our friend!"
After speaking, Catherine inford Landvo about the situation with ifu.
Landvo was shocked and furious upon hearing it.
"Bastard! Is ifu an idiot or simply blinded by lust! How could he allow an outsider, a servant, to access sothing so important!" Landvo shouted angrily.
Catherine completely agreed with her husband’s view that ifu was indeed a fool!
To Catherine, even if ifu were her real brother, she wouldn’t hesitate to give him this evaluation if he made such a mistake, let alone ifu being just a half-brother.
"Don’t worry, Landvo. What ifu had there was only a small part of our business, and only so docunts were stolen, which can be redied." While Catherine said this, it was only to comfort Landvo.
They still didn’t know what was taken and needed to figure it out imdiately. The worst part was that although the amount was not much, it was intricately connected with every aspect, especially internally.
If only one or two, or even seven or eight companies encountered an issue, Catherine could fill the gaps and fix them, but if it were this situation, she might even be helpless.
As long as Bai Xiaosheng decides to investigate or takes it to the group headquarters, if the headquarters is determined to investigate, they’ll face trendous trouble and passivity, possibly even endangering their survival!
"Tell how to redy this!" Landvo coldly replied, "Unless..."
Catherine had foreseen a crisis scenario with him, although not this exact one, but still caused by Bai Xiaosheng.
Should it co to that point, it wouldn’t be about filling gaps any longer.
But preemptive action!
If the trouble couldn’t be solved, then eliminate the troublemaker!
That’s the way!
"I’ve been preparing for that plan these days!" Catherine said. "But seeing Bai Xiaosheng today, I realized he’s a very frightening guy! Calm, wise, and with a quality that deeply unsettles ! I really don’t want to be enemies with soone like him. I’m afraid if we can’t trap him here, it will surely leave a major threat behind!"
Landvo was also surprised to hear Catherine rate Bai Xiaosheng so highly, "That young man, is he really that formidable?!"
Catherine said in a serious tone, "So I think, if my original plan fails, we must, by any ans, prevent him from leaving peacefully!"
"We have to root out the problem, eliminating future troubles!"
Catherine, not one to advocate violence, now harbored killing intent.
Just what kind of figure was the Greater China Region Executive President!
Landvo remained silent for a few monts, then simply replied, "Alright!"
After finishing the call with Landvo, Catherine pondered and then called ifu with a stern face.
This matter, the fool ifu couldn’t escape bla!
But the most crucial thing now was to find out what had been taken, so they could have an understanding.
At the very least, make the worst possible plan...
The phone only rang twice before being answered, and Catherine imdiately scolded, "ifu, what are you doing! Why would you let a servant exploit a loophole!"
On the other end, ifu said in a panic, "Sister Catherine, it’s truly not my fault. That wench has been with us for so long, staying by my side for so long, she knows all my habits and preferences. She might even guess my set passwords; how was I to know she dared to do this!"
"Enough, don’t tell all this!" Catherine interrupted ifu angrily.
ifu couldn’t help but say, "I’ve already sent people to look for her, and I believe..."
"Bring your people back; the stuff is no longer with her. It’s not worth wasting energy on a lowly traitor. Right now, you have more important matters to handle!" Catherine said. "What exactly did you lose?"
Upon being asked by Catherine, ifu once again hesitated, saying the items were so piled up that he had forgotten many, and Daisy had taken docunts irregularly, requiring a process to sort out, which couldn’t be done quickly.
The aning being, ifu lost important docunts but didn’t know which ones. Now he was like a headless fly!
Catherine was about to explode with rage.
How could such a foolish half-brother exist, and if he weren’t reliable, she wouldn’t have used this useless person!
The more Catherine thought about it, the angrier she got, unable to stop herself from growling furiously into the phone, "You, take a few confidants and investigate right now!"
"No als, no sleep; if by tomorrow morning I still don’t know what was lost..."
"Then go to Siberia and dig coal for !"
