Chapter 1228 - 1228: First Time as a Thief

At the other side.

Inside Zhang Kaitian's company.

After hearing the report from his subordinate.

He nodded, looking at the person with a very kind expression, and then said.

"Don't worry, any grievance you suffer at Lin Feng's place, once you return to this company, I will compensate you doubly."

"By then, whether you want a bonus or a promotion, it's all possible."

"However, for now, you need to continue staying undercover in Lin Feng's company and send me all the research report data from his studies."

"Although you've only sent a unique data so far, all of this is too simple, I want more complex, more in-depth data. Do you understand?"

After hearing his conversation, the person on the other end of the phone replied timidly.

"Rest assured, Director Zhang, I will definitely do as you say."

"But, can you let me see my sister this weekend? I haven't seen her in a long time."

Originally, he was already inside Zhang Kaitian's company.

But the other party kidnapped his sister, forcing him to stay undercover at Lin Feng's company, providing data about Lin Feng's new body technology.

He has been doing this for many years without stopping, so he deeply hates Zhang Kaitian.

Because Zhang Kaitian has prevented him from reuniting with his only family.

It's devastating for him, but he has no choice but to listen to Zhang Kaitian.

He has nowhere else to go.

Yet, Zhang Kaitian is unwilling to give him many opportunities to see his sister.

Even having a chance once a month is rare and precious to him.

So he cherishes this opportunity very much.

Zhang Kaitian snorted coldly after hearing this.

"Did you forget? You were promised you could see your sister once every month on the fifteenth, if you see her too often, you might become less determined."

"Everything I do is for your good."

"As long as you can help me defeat Lin Feng's company, then you and your sister can not only afford a big villa, but also buy luxury cars."

"You can even bring your sister to find a more suitable hospital for treatment. Don't you think I'm helping you now?"

"I'm making you richer in the future."

"Now I am helping your sister by hiring the best doctors to maintain her life, you should be grateful to me."

Although Zhang Kaitian kidnapped his sister, he indeed hired the best doctors.

Otherwise, given his current economic situation, he simply wouldn't be able to afford treatment for his sister.

But Zhang Kaitian is a despicable and shameless person.

He has always used the other party to provide intelligence from Lin Feng's company for him.

Although the person is just a rather powerless researcher in Lin Feng's research lab, he can still bring some benefits slowly and steadily, so Zhang Kaitian keeps him around.

"I understand, Director Zhang."

"I will definitely deliver the information from Nanchong to you soon, but I hope you'll keep your promise and eventually release my sister, I want to take her abroad for treatment."

Zhang Kaitian nodded and said: "Absolutely, it's good that you can see the situation clearly, don't waste your efforts pleasing others, helping Lin Feng won't benefit you at all."

"If you want to be a righteous person, then your ultimate fate will be to watch your sister die."

After saying this, Zhang Kaitian hung up the phone.

On the surface, he can act as a very kind person.

Projecting a very friendly image.

That's just to appear righteous and set an illusion for the other party.

He immediately called the hospital: "Continue maintaining that girl's life."

After finishing the phone call, his secretary Lisa walked in from outside, carrying a fruit salad and placing it on the desk, saying to him: "Director Zhang, it's already afternoon, eat something before getting back to work."

Zhang Kaitian looked pleased and said to her, "Feed me, if you do, I'll eat."

Secretary Lisa, who was slapped by him yesterday, was still fearful today.

So, she dared not approach him.

But at that moment, Zhang Kaitian's mood seemed okay.

Thus, she cautiously picked up a fork and brought the fruit to his mouth.

"Eat up, Director Zhang."

The two began feeding each other fruit.

This pleasant moment passed by just like that.

But in Lin Feng's lab, after hanging up the phone, Xiao Chen.

He felt very uneasy inside; during this time, he earned the respect of everyone in the lab and realized Lin Feng wasn't a bad boss to him.

If he could choose again, he would rather have joined this company initially.

Instead of joining Zhang Kaitian's company.

But if he chose that way, then his sister would die.

Now he has no choice but to betray Lin Feng for the sake of his world's only family member.

He silently thought to himself, when the time comes, once his sister receives treatment, he will return from abroad and confess to Lin Feng.

Then he will surrender himself, so he can repay and compensate Lin Feng, while taking Zhang Kaitian down in the process, wouldn't this be a better choice?

Thinking this made his resolve even firmer inside.

"Sorry, Director Lin, if I don't do this, then my sister is gone."

"So, I will pay the price for my actions, and I hope then you won't show me mercy."

In this laboratory, they typically split shifts between day and night to match the workload for elixir preparation.

Thus, Xiao Chen mainly works during the night.

However, nighttime generally makes all the researchers especially sleepy.

Whether they sleep in the day or night, once evening arrives, everyone tends to be sleep-deprived.

So drowsiness is inevitable.

But he can use this loophole to achieve his goal.

Previously instructed by Zhang Kaitian, he must accomplish it now.

He took out a USB drive.

Earlier, he helped Zhang Kaitian copy some preliminary data already.

This time, the request was even more excessive, demanding access to internal materials.

If deeper data were needed, he must enter the offices of his mentors in the lab to obtain it.

Otherwise, relying on just a few computers, tracking down such internal materials is impossible.

So the best opportunity now is while people are asleep, that's when he can grab the items.

Otherwise, he might miss the chance.

"Xiao Chen, why not take a break in the dead of night?"

"After three in the morning, we need to continue working overtime, staying up late?"

Upon hearing himself being called, Xiao Chen nervously smiled and said to the other party, "Don't worry about me, I'll know when to rest myself, someone related to my sister just called me."

"They said I could see my sister this month, I'm very happy inside."

After all, everyone in the lab knew about this matter.

Everyone knows he cherishes his sister dearly.

Under normal circumstances, no one jokes about his sister.

Because to him, his sister is indeed very important.

She's his only family, as everyone is aware.

When he brings up his sister at this time, it must be something significant.

So, nobody asked further: "Xiao Chen, make sure to rest well later, else when we continue working tonight, if you become sleepy, the doctor won't pardon you."

"Haha, big brother, I'll listen to you, go sleep, I'll watch here."

Once he finally lulled this group of colleagues to sleep.

Xiao Chen carried a USB drive, finding it relatively easy to enter his mentors' office.

But his heart was really remorseful and uneasy.

This was his first time committing theft, after all.

Though previously, his friend copied external data and gave it to Zhang Kaitian's company.

However, that data wasn't particularly important to him.

But this time things are different, so he feels very uneasy inside.

"Can't be nervous."

"If I get nervous, I will certainly fail, so I just have to confront it head-on."

After murmuring to himself, he pushed the door open and walked into his mentors' offices.
