Chapter 1229 - 1229: The Last Thirty Seconds!

It was dark inside the office because the lights were off.

When he first walked in, he was anxious and unfamiliar, almost bumping into something and making a banging noise.

The snoring sound from outside suddenly stopped: "Who is it? Walking around in the middle of the night instead of sleeping."

Upon hearing the voice, Xiao Chen's heart was filled with fear, but he didn't dare speak at this moment because he was afraid that once he did, the other person might recognize his voice, so he quickly kept quiet.

After not hearing anyone speak, the person continued to sleep.

It seemed that he was almost woken up, but didn't fully wake up.

Thinking about this made Xiao Chen even more terrified.

He hoped to quickly resolve this matter.

"Hurry up, hurry up... let me find that internal document."

"As long as I can hand over the document, I can take my sister to the best hospital."

"This is my biggest wish in life, I know I'm doing something stupid and wrong, and I will atone in the future."

"But today, I must steal the internal company documents, the worst thing I've done in my life."

Stealing these internal documents about the Elixir from Lin Feng's company would result in losses that can't currently be estimated.

Moreover, he knew well that it was a criminal act, and once done, he would bear the consequences, but he didn't care.

Because his current concern was his sister's safety.

It must be said, in these circumstances, if Lin Feng could investigate in advance, perhaps this disaster could have been avoided.

But Lin Feng didn't do this, which is why the documents were destined to be stolen tonight, something Lin Feng himself wasn't aware of.

Among so many doctors and researchers, to encounter such a bizarre event was unexpected.

If he had known.

He definitely wouldn't have let tonight's incident happen.

At the very least, as a boss, he would be much better than that heartless boss, Zhang Kaitian.

He wouldn't use the reputation of someone doing something bad to threaten whether someone's sister can be rescued.

This kind of thing is extremely lacking in virtue, and Lin Feng would never do it.

But there was no room for choice in any of this.

Xiao Chen was already doing this, leaving no room for regret.

On this extremely tense night, backing up the data with a USB drive was the scariest thing he had done in over twenty years.

Just at that moment, a sound suddenly came from outside: "...You say, at such a late hour, there shouldn't be any doctors in the lab building, why even bother going in?"

It seemed to be two security guards in the lab building, coming over.

Upon hearing the noise, Xiao Chen hurriedly opened the computer to quickly backup the internal data.

The sound came from outside again.

One person said: "What do you know? The more crucial the time, the more I suspect our lab building is prone to danger, so our task now is to check for any danger."

"If there is, it's better to report it in time."

"Otherwise, if something happens to this lab building, we can't escape the responsibility either."

The other person thought he was being too cautious, unaware of such anxiety, but didn't object as it was their duty.

Although generally speaking there was no danger in this building, they were conducting routine checks today as well.

Someone had already reached the floor Xiao Chen was on. The corridor was about fifty meters long, so as they slowly walked over.

Xiao Chen was rapidly backing up in the office.

Because he turned on the computer, it was very noticeable in the pitch-black research room.

But the file he needed took a long time to copy, about two or three minutes or so, but during these few minutes, it was difficult to ensure that those two patrolling outside wouldn't come here.

So now he must hurry: "Hurry, must be quick, otherwise, if the people outside discover me in here, they'll definitely be suspicious."

Because those security guards outside not only needed to check if there was anything unusual in the building,

But also knew who should be in an office.

Since the researchers in this building were just a few, they were clearly aware of that unavoidably.

But if they found Xiao Chen, who wasn't supposed to be in the office, they'd definitely be suspicious.

As for what would happen afterwards, they couldn't be sure, if they reported it to the top, Xiao Chen would be finished.

In Xiao Chen's plea, he finally saw it needed only thirty seconds.

But the footsteps outside were getting closer.

At this moment, he no longer cared if the others came or not.

He quickly took off his coat and draped it over the computer screen.

Trying to block the light from the computer.

As long as the computer screen didn't emit light, the others shouldn't know what he was doing inside.

As expected.

After covering the computer screen, the two patrolling outside passed by the window, shining their flashlights, seeing a few researchers sleeping on the lab table.

Without disturbing, they carefully stepped away.

After they left.

Chen finally sighed in relief, removed his clothing, and checked the USB drive, seeing that everything was backed up.

He was safely ejecting the USB drive, holding it, breathing a sigh of relief.

"Now that I have the crucial internal data, it's time to hand it over to that guy Zhang Kaitian, hoping he keeps his promise and doesn't deceive me."

Because every time, meeting his sister was very difficult for him.

If he didn't complete any of Zhang Kaitian's tasks,

It was hard to see his sister.

Therefore, over the years, transitioning from a small lab assistant to a researcher wasn't entirely due to his sister, it drove him to improve significantly.

If it weren't for his sister, perhaps he would've remained in his original position as an unspectacular lab worker.

Just when he finished copying the files from the computer, as he was about to turn it off.

At that moment, two more footsteps were heard from outside again.
