Rebirth with a Space to Counterattack and Abuse the Scumbag

Chapter 155 The First Sign of a Traitor: The Crisis of Supernatural Abilities

Cold sweat trickled down my back, and the air conditioning in the office made me feel unbearably hot.

I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down.

Zhang Siqi, I believe I have treated you well. I even forgave you after your betrayal last time by simply asking you to apologize. Why did you do this?

I quietly followed behind her, keeping a safe distance.

Instead of going straight home, she turned into a quiet alley.

The dim streetlights cast her long shadow, giving off an eerie atmosphere.

Deep in the alley, a man in a black trench coat stood with his back to her, and his figure seemed strangely familiar.

Zhang Siqi walked quickly to him and whispered something.

I strained my ears, but only caught a few fragmented words: "...Plan...successful..."

My heart sank. The plan?

what's the plan?

Is it...

Is it part of the company's new product development plan?

That confidential project that consumed countless hours of our team's effort?

A chill ran from the soles of my feet to the top of my head, and I felt like all the blood in my body had frozen.

I suppressed my anger and unease and turned back to the company.

I need to find out what Zhang Siqi is doing and why she betrayed me!

The next morning, I called Zhang Siqi to my office.

"Siqi, where did you go yesterday?" I asked in as calm a tone as if it were just a casual question.

"I...I went home yesterday, Mr. Miao." Her eyes darted around, avoiding my gaze.

"Really? But I think I saw you go somewhere and meet a man." I stared into her eyes and said, word by word.

Zhang Siqi's face turned deathly pale instantly. "President Miao, you...you must have seen wrong?" Her voice trembled, clearly panicked.

I took a USB drive out of the drawer and put it on the table. "The surveillance footage is all here. You can watch it yourself."

With trembling hands, Zhang Siqi picked up the USB drive and inserted it into the computer.

On the screen, there was a clear image of her meeting the man in black in the alley.

"I..." She opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything.

"Why?" I asked, my voice low and hoarse, barely containing my anger.

"I..." She tried to argue, but I interrupted her.

"Who ordered you to do this?" My gaze was like a knife, piercing straight into her heart.

She trembled, a flicker of fear crossing her eyes. "I...I can't say..."

"Not going to talk?" I sneered. "You think I can't find out just because you don't talk?"

I walked up to her, leaned down and whispered in her ear, "You'd better think this through. Some things, once done, there's no going back."

Her face was pale, her lips trembled, and finally, she slowly raised her head, her eyes filled with despair, "It's...it's him..."

Zhang Siqi's betrayal broke my heart, but what angered me even more was that the company's business plan had been leaked and discovered by our competitors.

In the office, the employees wore helpless, bitter smiles, their eyes filled with disappointment.

I stood by the window, looking at the bustling traffic below the company building, feeling an immense pressure in my heart.

Just when I was at my wit's end, the man in black, Shen Hao, reappeared.

He thought Zhang Siqi had completely succeeded and came again to steal the secrets.

However, what he didn't expect was that I had already taken precautions and set a trap.

The office door was quietly pushed open, and Shen Hao walked in triumphantly, unaware that he had already stepped into a trap.

Suddenly, the mechanism on the floor activated, and he was instantly entangled in a huge iron net, unable to move.

"You... how did you know?" Shen Hao's face turned ashen, his eyes filled with anger and frustration.

I stepped out from the shadows and looked at him coldly. "I saw through your tricks the moment you first stepped into the company." "Heh, you think a mere Zhang Siqi can bring me down?" I sneered, looking at Shen Hao struggling in the iron net. His sinister face was now twisted like a vengeful ghost. "You underestimate me, Miao Qing."

He was still struggling in vain, the wire mesh making a harsh metallic scraping sound.

I walked up to him, squatted down, and stared at him with eyes as cold as ice. "Speak," I said, "who sent you? What is your purpose?"

"Pah!" He spat at me, and I slightly turned to avoid it, frowning in disgust.

This little fry is really stubborn as a mule.

I stood up, ignored him, and turned to walk to the window.

My heart was still racing, not from anger, but from an indescribable sense of anxiety.

I could feel that restless power stirring within me again, like a caged beast ready to break free at any moment.

I clenched my fists tightly, my nails digging deep into my palms, trying to suppress the pain.

"Qingqing, don't push yourself too hard." Gong Lin's voice came from behind me, warm and firm, like a tranquilizer soothing my anxiety.

He walked up to me and pulled me into his arms.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." His voice was as gentle as a spring breeze, gradually relaxing my tense nerves.

I leaned against him, took a deep breath, and filled my nostrils with the faint scent of tobacco emanating from him—the scent that brought me the most peace of mind.

I looked up into his deep eyes, which were filled with trust and encouragement.

"I'm fine, just... a little tired," I said softly.

"I know you've done enough." He patted my head, his eyes full of tenderness.

"Leave the rest to me, I'll handle it." His tone was both domineering and gentle, which put me at ease.

"President Miao, about this matter..." Chen Lixin's hesitant voice rang out at the door.

I turned around and saw that his face was full of worry.

“Zhang Siqi, she…”

“I already know.” I interrupted him, not wanting to mention the traitor’s name again.

“But…” He frowned, hesitating to speak.

"The company's new product plans... I'm afraid... I'm afraid they'll be..."

"I will handle it," I said firmly. I couldn't show any weakness at this time, or the company would be in chaos.

"Next, I will strengthen security, and... we need to develop a new plan."

“But… the new plan…” Chen Lixin sighed, his worry deepening. “This… the time is too tight.”

"Time can be made," I said firmly, my eyes sweeping over the documents on my desk.

"Right now, the most important thing is to stabilize morale. Then, I will make those who betrayed us pay the price." I paused, then looked at Gong Lin. "What do you say?"

“I support all your decisions.” Gong Lin gave me a reassuring look.

Looking into his determined gaze, a warm feeling welled up in my heart. I pursed my lips and nodded.

Suddenly, I felt the supernatural power within me begin to stir again, its frequency becoming even more erratic, like the sea before a storm, surging and ready to erupt at any moment...

"You all go out first, I need some peace and quiet," I said, trying to control my tone and not let anything unusual show.

I took a deep breath, closed my eyes, and focused all my attention on the restless energy within me.

It was like a blazing flame, rampaging through my meridians and scorching my nerves.

I tried hard to recall the feeling when my powers had been unleashed before, attempting to find the pattern within it.

Failure after failure almost made me give up, but when I thought about the difficulties the company was facing, I gritted my teeth and persevered.

Gradually, I discovered that this energy fluctuation was not entirely untraceable.

It's like the tide, with its ebb and flow, its strength and weakness.

I tried to guide it, using my own will to control its flow direction.

At first, it was like a wild horse that had broken free of its reins, completely out of control, but with my unremitting efforts, it gradually became docile and began to flow according to my will.

I opened my eyes and felt my body brimming with power, as if I could control everything.

I stretched out my hand, palm up, and a faint blue light slowly rose up, like stars twinkling in the night sky.

Under my control, it sometimes expands, sometimes contracts, sometimes rotates, and sometimes remains still, like an obedient child who completely obeys my commands.

I walked up to a computer that had previously malfunctioned due to the influence of supernatural powers and gently placed my hand on the case.

Blue light flowed from my arm into the computer, and the previously flickering indicator light instantly returned to normal.

I pressed the power button, the computer screen lit up, and everything returned to normal.

"I did it!" I clenched my fist with joy, my heart filled with a sense of accomplishment.

I tried several more devices, and successfully fixed the problem on all of them.

This means that I have finally found a way to control my superpowers, and the crisis facing the company has finally been resolved.

In the office, the employees smiled with delight at the sight.

They all crowded around me, exclaiming, "Mr. Miao, you're amazing!" and "We knew you could solve this problem!" Their praise and encouragement strengthened my resolve.

However, just as I was basking in my joy, a phone call shattered the tranquility of the office.

A strange voice came from the other end of the phone, deep and hoarse: "Miao Qing, do you think you've won? The game has only just begun."

My heart sank suddenly and an ominous premonition came over me.

I looked out the window. Night had fallen, and the city lights were dazzling, but they couldn't conceal the crisis lurking in the darkness.

I gripped the phone tightly and asked coldly, "Who are you?"

"Who I am is not important," the other party sneered. "What is important is that you will soon find out what happens when you offend me." After saying that, the phone went dead.

I put down the phone, walked to the window, and looked at the bustling crowd below, a sense of unease rising in my heart.

Shen Hao...

He escaped...

Moreover, it seems he has found some help...

I sense that an even bigger storm is about to break...
