"Adam, you must fix this as soon as possible. There is lots of false accounting in the Huiteng Internet. If it were found by Linda Xia, it will be more difficult for us to transfer something else."
"Don't worry. I will take care of everything. Haven't seen you for some time. I miss you a lot. Come to me tonight?"
There was a rare flush on May Shen's cheecks. She looked around nervously and whispered, "OK, I'll make up an excuse and come over to see you. I miss you, too."'
The man let out a chuckle over the phone and said, "Fine, don't forget to wear the lingerie I bought you. I like you being so sexy."
"You..." Cheeky bastard."
For reasons unknown, May Shen felt a surge of excitment when she heard the man's voice.
In the afternoon of the next day, the television broadcast the following news.
"A major fire broke out at the 10-storey building, the Huiteng Internet Tower which was a subsidiary of the Xia's Group at 3:00 a.m yesterday. The fire brigade rushed to the building after an emergency call, but the third floor of it was totally destroyed. Eyewitnesses said the fire has started around 2 a.m. and spread quickly. It happened at midnight, so there were only three staffs on duty at the office. Two of them have been confirmed dead and one injured. The fire has been under control and its cause as well as damages is under investigation. This is our Zhang Wei at the scene reporting live."
With her white, smooth hand, Linda flicked off the TV in rage.
"How swiftly they reacted, " sneered Linda.
"Yesterday I offered to take over the Huiteng Internet. Then it was set on fire today and the third floor no less?" thought Linda.
The third floor was where the accounting and HR offices were located.
"My Lady. Your stepmother is all crazy to set the building on fire. Didn't she know there were staffs on duty? Such a fire in the midnight is bound to cause casualties."
After watching the news, Bun was also furious.
Linda responded with a sneer. A evil person like May Shen couldn't care less about other people's lives.
"Alas, I did not except that someone would be burnt to death." Linda felt guilty asking her father to give her the company. If she hadn't done that, those staffs would not have died today."
"Don't be sad. I've already had someone visit the family members of those victims and pay them a large amount of compensation. I have something that might interest you. You want to hear?"
Said Charles Mu as he walked in.
"What is it?" Linda was getting curious.
Charles Mu took a bag from Paul and said, "At your father's home yesterday, I had Bun slip into May Shen's room and install a bug and a GPS tracker on her phone."
Linda remembered Bun was absent for a while yesterday and she simply assumed that Bun had gone to the toilet.
Lily stuck out her tongue, making a face and said, "Sorry, My Lady. I forgot to tell you about this yesterday."
Taking the bag off Charles's hand, Linda took out a USB flash drive and then inserted it into a laptop.
There were many audio clips in the flash drive. Linda clicked one at random.
And then the audio recording began to play.
After hearing it, Linda was taken aback and closed it in a hurry. She took her hands off the keyboard.
What the hell?
