You're dumping me, huh? Fine, then I'll just pick up the school beauty and make her my wif

Su Qinghe bent down and picked up the USB drive from the bookshelf, then turned her head slightly and asked Jiang Che with her eyes where she should put it.

Where to put it...that really is a problem.

If it's too obvious, it will inevitably arouse Gu Yanzhou's suspicion, making him suspect that it might be a trap.

But if it's hidden too well, and Gu Yanzhou doesn't find it, he'll wonder if he really has the document or if he's just lying to them.

Jiang Che frowned and looked around the study before finally focusing his gaze back on the small bookshelf on the desk in front of him.

"Just leave it here."

Su Qinghe blinked, somewhat confused.

Jiang Che took the USB drive directly from her hand, then randomly picked a textbook from the bookshelf and clipped the USB drive inside the book.

Fearing that Gu Yanzhou wouldn't be able to find him, he deliberately revealed half of his silver-gray shell.

Afterwards, Jiang Che carefully put the book back on the bookshelf, then opened the desk drawer and stuffed in several project drafts marked "Confidential".

After stuffing the documents in, he didn't close the drawer, but left a few centimeters of gap.

In this way, an ordinary study room that was "nothing special" was set up.

So all they had to do next was wait patiently for the fish to take the bait.

……

Wednesday arrived quickly.

At 2 PM, Gu Yanzhou appeared at Jiang Che's door.

He deliberately chose a day when Jiang Che had a full schedule of classes, and even had Lu Ziang help him confirm the class schedule, all so that he could successfully sneak into the villa today and steal the documents as Liu Wei requested.

Although Gu Yanzhou had prepared himself mentally beforehand, his legs still trembled uncontrollably when he actually stood at the gate of Jiang Che's villa.

There was no way around it; he really didn't want to do this lousy thing.

After all, breaking into a private residence and committing burglary are illegal. If he were to be caught one day, any one of those offenses would be enough to get him into serious trouble.

But he dared not disobey Liu Wei.

"Bin, are you sure this door can be opened?"

Gu Yanzhou lowered his voice and asked the tall, thin man beside him.

This tall, thin man was Ah Bin, whom he had hired for 3,000 yuan. He was said to be a well-known "craftsman" near Peking University.

Ah Bin, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, squinted and casually examined the door lock. "Don't worry, Brother Gu, these electronic locks are the easiest to deal with. I brought a decoder; I can fix it for you in three minutes."

"Keep your voice down!"

Gu Yanzhou looked around nervously.

The villa area was very quiet at this time; there wasn't even a dog walking around.

But he always felt a chill down his spine, as if someone was watching him.

"Hey, Brother Gu, why are you so nervous? I specially dressed up as a security guard in the community. If others see me, they will definitely think you are a resident and I am helping you open the door."

Ah Bin chuckled and tossed the cigarette butt on the ground, then pulled a small black box from his toolbox.

He squatted in front of the door and fiddled with it for less than two minutes before the lock made a clear "beep beep" sound.

With a "click," the door opened.

Gu Yanzhou subconsciously swallowed, and after confirming that no one was around, he lowered his voice and quickly instructed Abin, "Keep watch outside for me. Call me if anyone comes."

Upon hearing this, Ah Bin's face showed a troubled expression: "Ugh, Brother Gu, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that the risks of lookout are different, and then there's the money..."

"Okay, okay, I'll give you an extra five hundred, just keep a close eye on things."

Upon hearing that there was money to be made, Ah Bin's troubled expression instantly transformed into a fawning smile. "Don't worry, Brother Gu, you can go in and get things done."

Gu Yanzhou was relieved and pushed open the door to enter the villa, then quietly closed the door behind him.

The villa was eerily quiet. Although sunlight streamed in through the windows during the day, the large size of the house still created a chilling atmosphere that wafted towards Gu Yanzhou.

He was just standing at the entrance, not even going inside, and his heart was already pounding so loudly he could hear it himself.

"Second-floor study...second-floor study..."

Gu Yanzhou muttered to himself as he walked upstairs.

Lu Ziang had told him before that Jiang Che usually worked from home in his study on the second floor.

Upon reaching the second floor, Gu Yanzhou pushed open several doors from the outside in and quickly found the study.

Upon entering the study, he immediately noticed the desk in the center of the room.

After walking to the desk, Gu Yanzhou immediately noticed the drawer that wasn't closed properly.

The drawer had a few centimeters of gap, and you could vaguely see a document marked "Confidential" inside.

Gu Yanzhou was overjoyed and quickly went over to open the drawer.

Sure enough, there were several draft documents for the Binhai New City project inside, covered with dense financial data and approval opinions.

He quickly flipped through a few pages, becoming more and more excited as he read, and hurriedly took out his phone to start taking pictures.

After taking a picture of the documents, he turned his attention to the small bookshelf on the table.

The bookshelf wasn't large, but it was crammed with all sorts of textbooks and professional books.

Gu Yanzhou casually picked up a few books to flip through, and when he turned to the third book, his finger suddenly touched something hard.

A USB flash drive.

It has a silver-gray exterior with a Cinnamon Dog sticker on it.

"Found it!"

He quickly plugged the USB drive into his laptop and started copying the data.

A folder window pops up on the computer screen.

Inside were dozens of documents neatly arranged, all with titles such as "Fund Flow of Binhai New City Project", "Account Details of Southwest Branch", and "Related Transactions of Gangcheng Yingheng Capital".

Gu Yanzhou became more and more excited as he looked at it.

If these documents were handed over to Liu Wei, Zhenyuan Group's takeover of Jiang Sheng would be just around the corner!

He will then become Liu Wei's top contributor and favorite, and promotion and salary increases will be a given!

Gu Yanzhou had even begun to fantasize about his future life of luxury, driving luxury cars and living in villas.

Soon, the copy progress bar reached 100%.

Seeing this, Gu Yanzhou unplugged the USB drive and carefully put it back in its original place.

He glanced around the study to make sure no traces were left before quietly slipping out.

Ah Bin was squatting on the steps outside, scrolling through his phone. When he saw Gu Yanzhou come out, he put his phone away and stood up. "You're done so quickly? I thought it would take you an hour or two."

"I'm just looking for a file, how long could it take? I'm leaving."

The two quickly left the villa area.

Unbeknownst to Gu Yanzhou, although he closed the laptop, the screen remained on.

A hidden background program started silently.

7 PM, Zhenyuan Group President's Office.
