Heart Stealer

In the evening, the sky was dyed orange and red by the setting sun, like a colorful painting.

The sun gradually sets, casting the last ray of afterglow on the earth, as if covering the whole world with a layer of golden gauze.

At this poetic moment, an ordinary black car was parked in front of a seemingly ordinary hotel.

There were two people sitting in the car - Qiu Rongyao and Xiao Tuobang. Their eyes were fixed on the hotel entrance, waiting for an important person to appear.

After half a cup of tea, a figure finally walked out of the hotel slowly.

He was carrying a black backpack and walking in a hurry. This man was exactly the person they were looking for - Assistant Chen.

Qiu Rongyao's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, and he quickly winked at Xiao Tuobang beside him.

The two of them pushed open the car door tacitly and walked towards Assistant Chen who was about to get in the car.

"Assistant Chen, we need to talk."

Qiu Rongyao's voice was calm and powerful, with a majesty that could not be ignored.

His words revealed firmness and determination, as if there was no room for negotiation.

When Assistant Chen heard the sudden voice, his body trembled violently and he slowly turned around.

When he saw clearly that the person who spoke was Qiu Rongyao, the blood instantly disappeared from his face and turned extremely pale.

Fine beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead, and he knew in his heart that he was now in a desperate situation.

He could no longer escape the situation before him and could only deal with it head-on.

Assistant Chen said respectfully, "Boss Qiu, if you have anything to say, we can talk over the phone. I'm just a nobody, and it's not worth your while to make a special trip to me."

Qiu Rongyao sneered,

"Some things are better discussed face to face. You should give me an explanation for leaking company secrets."

Assistant Chen's face turned even paler, and he trembled as he defended himself, "Boss Qiu, I...I have never leaked any company secrets! There must be some misunderstanding."

Xiao Tuobang interrupted, "Misunderstanding? Then why did you suddenly resign? And delete all the data on your computer? Is this all just a coincidence?"

Faced with the two people's questioning, Assistant Chen was speechless. He lowered his head and silently pinched the corner of his clothes.

Qiu Rongyao looked at his watch and said coldly, "I'll give you ten minutes to think about it. Do you want to admit your mistake or wait for me to find out and let you face the lawsuit." After that, he turned around and went back to the car.

Assistant Chen stood there, feeling panicked.

Ten minutes later, he took a deep breath and walked towards Qiu Rongyao's car...

Qiu Rongyao did not immediately question Assistant Chen, but instead invited him to dine at a nearby high-end restaurant.

Qiu Rongyao ordered a table full of delicious dishes and even poured a glass of red wine for Assistant Chen.

"Assistant Chen, I know you have a lot of secrets, but I believe everyone has the opportunity to reform. Tonight, let's not talk about business, let's just chat about family matters." Qiu Rongyao's tone was gentle, which surprised Assistant Chen.

In this tense and depressing atmosphere, Assistant Chen's heart began to waver, and his psychological defenses slowly collapsed.

Finally, he mustered up the courage and told Qiu Rongyao everything he knew.

It turned out that during work, Assistant Chen accidentally discovered evidence that the company's senior executive Zhu Dongming was secretly colluding with external forces in an attempt to embezzle company property.

He was worried that he would be implicated if the matter was exposed, so he chose to resign in the hope of escaping the storm.

When Qiu Rongyao heard the news, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

But he quickly regained his composure and said to Assistant Chen, "You did very well. Next, all you have to do is stay quiet and follow my instructions."

Assistant Chen nodded repeatedly, his future was closely linked to Qiu Rongyao.

He was very grateful to Qiu Rongyao for giving him a chance to reform.

He vowed to fully assist Qiu Rongyao in the investigation.

Qiu Rongyao then arranged for someone to safely place Assistant Chen in a secret place.

Only when the time is right can Assistant Chen appear as a key witness and expose Zhu Dongming's crimes.

Before that, all actions must be cautious and careful.

One night a few days later, Xiao Tuobang received a call from Zhu Dongbai.

Zhu Dongming's low voice came from the other end of the phone: "Mr. Xiao, I heard that you have been investigating me recently?"

Xiao Tuobang's heart was shocked. He pretended to be calm and asked,

"Mr. Zhu, I don't understand what you are talking about?" Xiao Tuobang tried to play dumb.

"Stop pretending, Xiao Tuobang. Do you think hiding Assistant Chen will solve all the problems?"

Zhu Dongming sneered, "I have enough evidence to bring your reputation to ruin!"

Xiao Tuobang's face darkened, and he clenched his fists. "Zhu Dongming, don't get complacent. I've already got evidence of your crime, and I'll see you get the punishment you deserve soon."

"Then let's see who falls first!" Zhu Dongming hung up the phone.

Xiao Tuobang felt a huge pressure coming, but he did not back down.

He decided to speed up the investigation and bring Zhu Dongming to justice as soon as possible.

Reflected by the company's glass curtain wall, sunlight shines through the gaps onto the marble floor, creating mottled light and shadows.

Zhu Dongming walked into the company gate with steady steps, with a barely perceptible hint of pride on his face.

As one of the company's partners, Zhu Dongming does not hold many shares.

But he has been in the company for many years and has many followers, so Zhu Dongming's influence cannot be underestimated.

This made him covet the position of president and he was determined to get it.

However, the appearance of Xiao Tuobang disrupted his plan, which made him full of dissatisfaction and resentment towards Xiao Tuobang.

Zhu Dongming met Xiao Tuobang by chance in the corridor. Their eyes met and the air seemed to be filled with gunpowder.

"Xiao Tuobang, are you still so self-righteous? Do you think you can find something to hold against me?" Zhu Dongming said sarcastically, with a sneer on his lips.

Xiao Tuobang refused to give in and retorted, "Zhu Dongming, your actions will sooner or later be exposed to the light of day. Don't think you can cover up everything."

The quarrel between the two grew louder and louder, attracting the attention of the surrounding employees.

At this time, Qiu Rongyao walked over, and his appearance immediately made the atmosphere on the scene tense.

"That's enough. You two are both backbones of the company. How can you quarrel like this?" Qiu Rongyao's voice was not loud, but full of majesty.

He turned to Zhu Dongming, his tone apologetic: "Vice President Zhu, I apologize for the previous misunderstanding. Without solid evidence, we should not make any judgments lightly."

Zhu Dongming's expression softened slightly, but he still refused to fully accept the apology: "Boss Qiu, although you said so, your behavior has already affected me."
