The love story of a wealthy family amid anti-fraud storm at the border

At the same time, outside Joseph's residence in South Africa, the noise just now turned out to be a group of men chasing a cheetah that accidentally strayed in.

At this moment they were gathered together, talking about what had just happened.

Yi Chen in the study took this opportunity to quietly walk out from behind the curtains and continued to search carefully for the crucial evidence in the study.

He couldn't give up this rare opportunity, as he might be just one step away from success.

Even if this step is the most dangerous one...

After searching all the hidden corners, he still found nothing.

Outside the house, Joseph's men, with the help of several strong servants, had captured the little leopard that had broken into the residence.

When Yi Chen heard the noise outside the house, he became more and more anxious. He didn't have much time left.

Helplessly, he could only close his eyes and quietly recall the situations he encountered during the search work when he was on a mission.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes and thought of a place in the study where he could hide confidential documents.

He came to the antique clock in the study and looked at the exquisite clock carefully.

It has a gorgeous appearance, and the hands are still moving slowly, making a slight ticking sound, as if telling the story of the years.

Yi Chen took a deep breath, stretched out his hand carefully, and began to feel around the clock.

His fingers gently touched every place where a mechanism might exist, his eyes focused and nervous.

Finally, at the bottom right side of the clock, he felt an extremely hidden small protrusion, which would be difficult to detect without careful exploration.

He had an idea and gently pressed the bulge.

In an instant, there was a slight "click" sound, and a secret compartment slowly popped out from the base of the antique clock.

Yi Chen's eyes lit up instantly, and he hurriedly looked into the secret compartment, and sure enough, there was a USB flash drive inside.

He couldn't wait to take out the USB drive and plug it into his microcomputer.

Turn on the computer and it is reading the contents of the USB drive.

This was exactly the crucial evidence he had been looking for, and he immediately copied the information in the USB drive.

While the information was being copied, the people downstairs had finished their work and returned to the house.

They were each preparing to return to the house, but at this moment, footsteps were heard outside the house, coming from far away and getting closer. It seemed that Joseph was returning with his men.

Yi Chen's heart suddenly tightened. Why did he come back early?

I was wondering, wasn't I responsible for tomorrow's meeting with the South American drug lord?

He knew that the situation was even more dangerous now.

He stared at the progress bar of copying data on the computer, and beads of sweat gradually appeared on his forehead.

Every beat of his heart seemed to be beating heavily on his heart, and the slow progress seemed extremely painful at this moment.

While paying attention to the movement at the door, he quickly thought of a way to escape.

The room was so quiet that the only sounds were the ticking of the clock and my own rapid breathing.

Just as the copy progress bar was about to reach the end, the clear footsteps of Joseph and others approaching the study were heard outside the door.

They seemed to be talking in low voices, as if they were talking about something important.

Yi Chen was quick-witted and quick-handed. The moment the data copying was completed, he quickly pulled out the USB drive, turned off the computer, and placed the U7 drive into the secret compartment of the pendulum, restoring it to its original state.

Then, he rushed to the study window, ignoring the possible danger, pushed the window open, turned over and jumped out from the second floor.

The moment he landed, he took advantage of the cover of night, crouched down and ran quickly into the bushes in the yard.

After Joseph and others pushed open the door of the study, he looked around with sharp eyes and a frown, scanning everything in the room.

He felt that someone had come in!

Then, one of his subordinates whispered a few words in his ear, and he nodded...

After a while, Joseph's men came to him with a man in custody.

It turned out to be the confidant who had just sneaked into the study.

Yi Chen did not dare to stop. He shuttled through the bushes and ran into the night based on his previous observation and familiarity with the area.

After a while, he ran to the side of an off-road vehicle.

He got in the car, started it, stepped on the accelerator, turned the steering wheel, and sped towards Joseph's residence!

He drove into the residence at a speed of 180 mph, stopped in front of the house, and walked slowly towards the second floor, as if he had just returned from outside.

When he was about to reach the door of the study, Yi Chen couldn't help but slow down his pace.

Then, when he passed by, he heard Joseph's voice calling him!

"Chen, you're back? Come in for a moment!"

Yi Chen's heart tightened, but he remained calm. He took a deep breath, turned and walked into the study.

"Joseph, what do you want from me?"

Yi Chen asked in a nonchalant tone, but his eyes inadvertently swept across every corner of the study, secretly paying attention to whether there was anything unusual.

Then he saw the confidant who had just sneaked into the study, being forced to kneel on the ground by Joseph's men.

He couldn't help but feel a little surprised as to how Joseph knew the man's whereabouts.

Would he be exposed as well?

Joseph sat on the chair behind the desk, looked at Yichen with deep eyes, and said slowly:

"Chen, it seems like there were some uninvited guests here just now, and some things seem to have been moved."

"Then, this is..." Yi Chen pretended to be calm and pointed at the person kneeling on the ground, asking in confusion.

Joseph narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Yichen, and said after a moment:

"Someone just released my little leopard to attract everyone's attention. Then, he sneaked into the study! What do you think I should do with him?"

Yi Chen listened to what Joseph said calmly, but he was quickly thinking of a countermeasure in his mind.

He knew that he had to be more cautious at this moment and not reveal any flaws.

"Do you think he was sent by that person? He wants to get the information of all your trading customers? Do you want to check if the things are still there first?"

Yi Chen pulled Joseph aside and said with a look of pretended indignation.

Joseph frowned slightly after hearing what Yichen said, as if he felt that there was some truth in it. He turned and walked towards the antique clock.

Yi Chen's heart instantly rose to his throat, and he stared closely at Joseph's every move.

Joseph stopped in front of the antique clock, examined it carefully, then reached out and groped around, and soon found the small protrusion that popped out of the secret compartment.

Yi Chen's palms were covered in sweat, and he secretly prayed that his previous action of returning to the original state did not reveal any flaws.

Fortunately, after Joseph pressed the protrusion, the secret compartment popped out. The things inside did not look unusual, and the USB flash drive was still lying quietly inside.

Joseph breathed a sigh of relief, took out the USB drive, inserted it into the computer and checked it carefully. After confirming that there was no problem, he put it back into the secret compartment and restored it to its original state.

"It seems this kid hasn't had time to make a move yet."

Joseph said this, his eyes revealing a hint of ruthlessness. He turned to look at the confidant kneeling on the ground, "However, if he dares to be so presumptuous in front of me, he will not be let off easily!"

Then, he signaled his men to take the person away...

After a while, the man's screams were heard from the little leopard's cage in the backyard of the residence!

The voice was as miserable as a ghost in the dark night, making everyone present shudder!

At this moment, the corners of Joseph's lips rose slightly with a hint of sneer, and his eyes revealed a sinister coldness.

His originally cold temperament now turned into a sinister and vicious one, which made people shudder.

Seeing this, Yi Chen secretly felt relieved that it seemed that he had not been exposed.

"Can you tell that he is his man?" Yi Chen continued to ask Joseph, observing the changes in his facial expression.

"Well, tomorrow's meeting with the South American team is crucial! It's not hard to guess that they will take action tonight."

Joseph responded and sat back in the chair behind the desk, his eyes falling on Yi Chen again.

"Chen, you have to pay more attention to this matter. Tomorrow's meeting with the South American drug lord is crucial, and nothing can go wrong."

"Don't worry, Joseph, I have made all the arrangements. There will be no problem."

At this moment, Yi Chen was thinking about how to safely send the copied evidence out before dawn.

"That's good. You go down first and prepare well." Joseph waved his hand.

Yi Chen felt relieved. He nodded to Joseph and turned to walk out of the study.

As soon as he walked out of the study, he quickened his pace and quickly returned to his room.

He closed the door, drew the curtains, took out the microcomputer with backed-up evidence from his arms, and confirmed the integrity of the data again.

Then, he turned on the data jammer and made a video call to the command center...
