Fantasy Game: Infinite City

Chapter 244 Apology Gift (Page 13)

A few days later, in City A, at a law firm on the commercial street.

"Chen Lu, shall we go home first?"

"Well, go back and have a good rest. You did a good job on this case. I'll give you a few days off after this quarter."

"Thank you Chen Lu!"

"Let's go, by the way, remember to turn off the lights."

"understood!"

Several young lawyers who had just been hired as full-time lawyers were saying goodbye to the boss of the law firm. They were very excited because they had successfully won the first lawsuit after being hired as full-time lawyers.

"What would you like to eat? It's my treat today!"

"Okay! Finally you're generous for once!"

"This lawsuit was indeed well fought. Let's go eat hotpot. I happen to know a very famous restaurant."

"Let's go! Oh, I almost forgot, we need to turn off the lights in the law firm."

One of the young lawyers trotted over and turned off the light in the law firm. The firm suddenly became dark. The only light came from the desk lamp on the desk of the man called Lawyer Chen.

"Hurry up! The car I called is here!"

"coming!"

After turning off the light control, the young lawyer jogged a few steps, caught up with his colleagues, left the law firm together, and got into the special car called outside the door. Not long after their car drove away, Han Zu walked out of an empty office next to the light control.

Han Zu walked quietly to the door of the law firm, picked up a glass artifact from the shelf where decorations were placed next to it, and stuck it above the door handle. If someone opened the door of the law firm from the outside, the glass artifact would fall to the ground and make a loud noise, which could be heard very clearly at least in the law firm with only two people.

After arranging everything, Han Zu walked quietly to the stairs of the law firm and went up to the second floor. He was not in a hurry to go upstairs to find the target he was going to "visit" this time, that is, the lawyer named Chen. He used his perception ability to determine his location. He was in his office at the moment and did not move. Han Zu spent some time searching all the rooms on the second floor. Although Han Zu's perception ability showed that there were only him and Lawyer Chen in the entire law firm, many experiences told Han Zu that he could not rely entirely on his perception ability. After all, sometimes some people and things would have some way to avoid Han Zu's perception.

After searching the second floor in person, Han Zu confirmed that there was no one else in the law firm, so he went up to the third floor through the stairs of the law firm. In the entire law firm, only Lawyer Chen's office had the light on, so all his movements could be easily seen. From his tired but serious expression, and the occasional movement of covering his face with his hands, he should be handling a difficult case.

Since he was strengthened by the Gift of Death again and after absorbing a deformed fetus, Han Zu discovered that he could change the flow rate of energy in his body, thereby greatly reducing the sound he made and reducing energy fluctuations. Boots and leather shoes are the most commonly worn shoes by Han Zu. However, with his current height of two meters, his muscular body, and even hiking boots with steel toe guards, he did not make any sound when stepping on the marble floor.

Han Zu walked around Lawyer Chen's office and carefully searched the remaining three floors of the law firm that had not been searched. He had checked the first floor when he sneaked into the law firm in the afternoon. Just when those young lawyers left, Han Zu also turned off the internal surveillance of the law firm. So unless there was a big commotion, no one would know what happened in the law firm.

However, although Han Zu's series of actions seemed to be intended to kill Lawyer Chen, in fact, Han Zu was not planning to attack Lawyer Chen. He just wanted to have a talk with Lawyer Chen. Of course, it was a real talk, not a metaphor.

After confirming that the law firm was safe, Han Zu walked to Attorney Chen's office. Attorney Chen was concentrating on the documents in his computer. He didn't even hear Han Zu opening the door and then closing it. He didn't even notice Han Zu sitting on the chair opposite his desk. Han Zu didn't seem to want to disturb him either. He just sat there quietly without making any sound.

But a few minutes later, perhaps because he was craving for cigarettes or simply bored, Han Zu took out a cigarette and lit it with his fingers. But it was not until he reached out to take the ashtray that Lawyer Chen had placed next to the computer that Lawyer Chen noticed something was wrong. He turned his attention back from the documents and followed the smell of cigarettes to see the man sitting across from his desk in the shadow of the desk lamp. What surprised Han Zu a little was that after seeing him, Lawyer Chen did not have any frightened overreaction and was relatively calm. However, judging from Lawyer Chen's shrinking pupils and tightening muscles, he seemed to be a little nervous.

“Are you from the company?”

Han Zu took the cigarette from his lips with his fingers and nodded.

"Can I make two calls?"

Han Zu spread out a palm and pointed to the phone on the desk, saying please go ahead. Although Han Zu did not ask, Chen picked up the phone, dialed a number, turned on the speakerphone, and put the phone where Han Zu could see it.

"What's the matter, Dad?"

"Oh, it's nothing. I just missed you a little. Where's your mother?"

Lawyer Chen's first call was to his child. Judging from the voice, he should be very young, probably still in high school or just starting college. Soon a second voice was heard on the phone. It should be Lawyer Chen's wife. Lawyer Chen did not say anything strange, but just showed normal concern for his wife and daughter.

"I may have to go on a business trip in the next few days. I will leave as early as tomorrow morning. I may not go back today."

"Are you in such a hurry? Well, the weather has been bad recently, so remember to bring two more thick clothes."

"I see. You and your daughter should go to bed early."

"I understand, husband. Don't be too tired. Remember to rest."

"it is good."

"Goodnight, Dad!"

"Good night, baby."

"beep."

After hanging up the phone with his wife and daughter, Lawyer Chen dialed a second number. Again, he turned on the speakerphone and placed the phone where Han Zu could see it. The second number was that of a lawyer in his law firm.

"What's the matter, Boss? You haven't finished get off work yet?"

"I have a lot of cases on hand. I'm still looking at the documents. By the way, are there any cases you are following recently?"

"No, the previous breach of contract case just ended, and I plan to take a two-day break. What's wrong? Is there a case for me to take over?"

"Well, I have too many cases here. There is a very important lawsuit. I decided to hand it over to you. I am not sure about letting those young people handle it."

"Okay, then send me all the documents and I'll take a look at them now."

"Don't worry. Take a rest today. Go find my assistant tomorrow morning. The paper documents are on her desk."

"Okay then, anything else, boss?"

"No, let's go to bed early."

"Well, don't stay in the law firm anymore. Listen to me and go home to be with your wife and children."

"You kid..."

"Hang up, hang up!"

"beep."

Lawyer Chen hung up the phone, straightened his clothes, and then placed his hands flat on the desk.

"I did leak the company's confidential documents on purpose, but this has nothing to do with my family. They are completely unaware of it. If possible, I hope you can give me a quick death."

After saying that, Lawyer Chen took two deep breaths, calmed his nervous emotions, and closed his eyes. However, after waiting for a long time, he seemed to feel that the man sitting opposite his desk did not make any movements. In the quiet office, he could clearly hear the sound of burning tobacco.

"Chi~"

Half a minute later, the sound of a cigarette butt going out reached Lawyer Chen's ears. He thought to himself that maybe the man opposite him was going to take action this time. He heard the man stand up from his chair and walk to his side. The heavy boots stepped on the wooden floor in the office, making a dull sound.

"Clap clap."

However, the man still did not choose to take action, but just patted his shoulder gently. Lawyer Chen opened his eyes and looked at the man leaning on the desk next to him in confusion.

"Don't be nervous, Lawyer Chen. I'm not here to kill you, but leaking the company's confidential documents is indeed something that cannot be easily forgiven, so I hope to talk to you."

Han Zu took out a paper list with some names written on it. There was a mark behind each of these names, some were triangles, some were circles, and of course more than half of them had an x ​​behind them. Lawyer Chen's name was the last one on the list, and there was no mark behind his name yet. After putting the list on the desk in front of Lawyer Chen, Han Zu reached out and lowered the desk lamp a little so that Lawyer Chen could clearly see the names on the list.

"Can you remind me what the important company documents you leaked contained?"

"I leaked the abilities and weaknesses of a high-ranking member who was in great conflict with them to a certain black organization in City A, as well as his travel route, the number of the private plane he was going to take to City A, the means of transportation he used during his stay in City A, his usual route in City A, and detailed information about the security personnel around him."

"So, why did you do this? You have to know that a leak of this magnitude could very likely lead to the assassination of this senior executive by someone with bad intentions."

"What a pity! The guards around him were very powerful. They helped him escape the pursuit and return to the headquarters of Infinite Company."

"You seemed to have tried to get rid of the guards around him?"

"Yes, I did that, but it didn't work."

"You don't seem to be prepared to excuse yourself."

"I understand that leaking the company's secrets is unforgivable, especially when almost all the information is posted, but I don't think I did anything wrong."

"You regret that you were not able to kill him?"

"If I can, I would even like to do it myself! But I am different from him. I have not been enhanced by the company. Essentially, I am still an ordinary person."

"I understand. Then tell me why you want to kill him."

Lawyer Chen thought that it was the last day anyway, so he explained why he leaked company secrets and why he wanted to use it to get rid of one of the senior executives.

According to Lawyer Chen, the senior executive he wanted to put to death was originally a colleague who joined the unlimited company at the A City branch at the same time as him. At that time, the unlimited company was undergoing a new internal reorganization and was short of staff, so Lawyer Chen was working as a basic assistant in the Legal Department, while the senior executive was a clerk in the Finance Department. After many years of hard work, Lawyer Chen became a senior executive in the Legal Department, while his colleague was very capable in the workplace and climbed to the main management level of the Finance Department. Not long after, the colleague became the deputy director of the Finance Department.

During another work coordination, Lawyer Chen, who was handling legal documents, discovered a problematic contract. Simply put, it was a cannibalistic contract. On the surface, it gave the other party a lot of benefits, but in fact, if the contract was signed, it would be equivalent to letting the Finance Department sell the company and help count the money. Moreover, if something happened in the future, it would be a trouble for the unlimited company. This problematic contract was made by Lawyer Chen's colleague at the same time as him.
