Chapter 522: I Didn't Have a Good Rest
The thief seemed to be very familiar with the environment, and he navigated several obstacles to the door of the study.
He tried to open it, only to find it locked.
Undeterred, he took a wire out of his pocket and began to pick the lock.
When Jiang Chen saw this scene, he was even more sure of the other party's purpose in his heart.
He quietly approached the thief, ready to catch him the moment he entered the study.
However, at this moment, the thief seemed to sense something, suddenly stopped what he was doing, and looked around vigilantly.
Jiang Chen's heart tightened, he knew that he had been discovered.
Instead of flinching, he lunged out and grabbed the thief by the shoulder.
The thief was startled and struggled to break free from Jiang Chen's hand.
However, Jiang Chen's strength was surprisingly great, and he tightly clasped the thief's wrist, making him unable to move.
"Who are you? What are you doing here? Jiang Chen asked in a low voice.
The thief tried to break free from Jiang Chen's control, but in vain.
He looked at Jiang Chen with wide eyes, and a trace of horror flashed in his eyes.
He didn't answer Jiang Chen's question, but tried to touch the things in his pocket with his other hand.
Jiang Chen's eyes were quick, and he pressed the thief's other hand.
With a twist, he slashed the thief's hands behind his back.
The thief screamed in pain, but his voice was firmly covered by Jiang Chen.
"Don't scream! You're welcome to call me again! Jiang Chen threatened in a low voice.
The thief was shocked by Jiang Chen's momentum and immediately stopped struggling.
He stared at Jiang Chen with wide eyes, his eyes full of fear and uneasiness.
"I ...... I'm just here to steal......" the thief stammered.
"Stealing? Steal something? Jiang Chen asked.
"I ...... I do not know...... I'm just being told......" said the thief, shuddering.
Jiang Chen frowned, he sensed that this thief didn't seem to be telling the truth.
He didn't continue to ask questions, but decided to take the other party back to the house first and then interrogate him slowly.
He dragged the thief hard towards the house, and the thief, overwhelmed by his strength, obediently followed him in.
Jiang Chen took the thief to the sofa in the living room and sat down, then turned on the light.
Under the light, he took a closer look at the thief.
The other party is not very old, about twenty years old, with a thin figure and a delicate face.
Jiang Chen really couldn't connect him with a thief.
"What's your name? Why do you come here to steal? Jiang Chen asked.
"I ...... My name is Xiao Zhang...... I'm ......" Xiao Zhang stammered, but was interrupted by Jiang Chen before he could finish speaking.
"Okay, okay, don't make it up. I know you're not here to steal, you're here to steal my confidential documents. Jiang Chen said coldly.
Xiao Zhang was taken aback by Jiang Chen's words, and he looked at Jiang Chen with wide eyes, his eyes full of horror and uneasiness.
He didn't expect Jiang Chen to say his purpose so directly.
"I ...... I don't know what you're talking about......" Zhang tried to quibble.
"Don't know? So what do you pick the lock for? Didn't you want to come into my study and steal something? Jiang Chen asked rhetorically.
Xiao Zhang was dumbfounded by the question, he knew that he could no longer hide it.
He lowered his head and was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "Well, I admit that I'm here to steal your confidential documents." ”
"Who asked you to come? What is the purpose? Jiang Chen asked.
"Yes...... It was a man named Mr. Li who asked me to come. He said he'd give me a large sum of money as long as I could get my hands on your confidential documents. Xiao Zhang confessed.
"Mr. Li? Who is he? Why my confidential documents? Jiang Chen asked suspiciously.
He hadn't heard of the name and didn't know why the other party wanted his confidential documents.
Is it a business competitor? Or is it something else?
Xiao Zhang shook his head and said, "I don't know who he is, and I don't know why he wants your confidential documents. I'm just a thief who takes money to do things. ”
Jiang Chen frowned, he felt that this Mr. Li didn't seem to be simple.
Jiang Chen frowned, weighing the pros and cons in his heart. He looked at the young man named Xiao Zhang in front of him, and a trace of complicated emotions flashed in his eyes.
After some thought, he decided to let Xiao Zhang go for the time being.
"You can go, but I want you to understand that it's not because I'm afraid of you or the people behind you."
Jiang Chen's voice was cold and firm, making Xiao Zhang shiver involuntarily, "I just want to see what tricks you want to play." ”
Xiao Zhang nodded again and again, glanced at Jiang Chen gratefully, and then left in a hurry.
Unbeknownst to him, a figure quietly followed him in the darkness.
In the second half of the night, the moonlight was hazy. Xiao Hei suddenly came with the news that someone was going to kill Xiao Zhang.
He rescued Xiao Zhang and asked Jiang Chen for instructions on his next move.
Jiang Chen's eyes lit up, he knew that his guess was not wrong, and there was indeed a bigger conspiracy behind all this.
He immediately instructed Hei to bring Zhang back.
Soon, Xiao Hei returned to Jiang Chen with Xiao Zhang.
Xiao Zhang looked shocked, but there was an indescribable gratitude in his eyes.
He knew that he owed Jiang Chen and Xiao Hei a life.
"Say, everything you know." Jiang Chen looked at Xiao Zhang, his voice was calm but with an unquestionable majesty.
Zhang took a deep breath and began to tell everything he knew.
It turned out that Mr. Li was not from Jiangcheng, but a wealthy businessman from other places.
He has always wanted to enter the market in Jiangcheng, but he has no chance.
So, he found Xiao Zhang and promised to give him a large sum of money as long as he could get Jiang Chen's confidential documents.
"I don't know why he wants your papers, I'm just a tool to be used." Xiao Zhang said bitterly.
Jiang Chen frowned slightly, and he became more curious about the identity and purpose of this Mr. Li.
But he knew that now was not the time to delve into this.
He asked Xiao Hei to leave with Xiao Zhang, arranged for him to escape to another place, and gave him a sum of money as a travel fee.
"Remember, don't come back to Jiangcheng again. The water here is too deep for you to grasp. Jiang Chen looked at Xiao Zhang and said.
Xiao Zhang nodded again and again, his gratitude overflowing.
He knew that Jiang Chen was saving his life.
And Jiang Chen didn't care about it for the time being, just rested.
The next morning, Jiang Chen woke up.
When he went out, Tang Yanran had already gone to the company, and he went to the company after breakfast.
Soon arrived at the company, he also saw Xiao Tang, but Xiao Tang's dark circles were a bit serious.
"What's wrong with you? Didn't get a good rest? Jiang Chen looked at Xiao Tang with some surprise and asked.
Xiao Tang shook her head, and she finally said, "I've been dreaming lately...... I don't know what's going on. ”
Jiang Chen frowned, if it was just an ordinary dream, it wouldn't be like this, she looked like her spirit and spirit had been sucked dry now.
"You can't be dreaming about that, are you?" Jiang Chen looked at Xiao Tang with a strange expression and asked.
