I Treat You as My Sister, But You Want to be My Wife?!

"The result was actually not what I expected, which shocked me. It’s quite impressive for such a young girl to have this kind of plan, but she ran off before I could ask her early this morning. This was indeed a surprise. Now it’s not easy to find her, it’s really a troublesome matter," Shen Dong said and then shook his head.

After hearing this, Zhang Tao’s mouth hung open wide enough to fit an egg—he had never imagined that one of his subordinates could do such a thing, sell his proposal. If that proposal was sold to a rival competitor, and they created it first, then wouldn’t his own be branded as plagiarism?

All of these had not been patented yet, this won’t do—I might have to hurry and apply for patents. If she sells it to someone else, then mine will be deemed plagiarism... This incident also gave Zhang Tao a certain idea. Whether it was getting the person back or something else, he couldn’t let this issue continue to ferment.

Shen Dong patted Zhang Tao’s shoulder and began to say, "Losing that bit of money isn’t a big deal, but I hope that the person can be caught soon and give me an explanation. And I want her to compensate for the loss. You can’t just sell it like that, that’s not ethical. If I remember correctly, wasn’t there a contract with your documentation? This could be taken to court."

Zhang Tao was not some clueless young master—if he were, he wouldn’t have survived this long in a prominent family. He had his methods, only that he didn’t use them often; having a kind heart didn’t mean he allowed others to bully him. With such an event unfolding, he could no longer stand idly by.

He then seriously said to Shen Dong, "I’m sorry for this incident; I did say that I didn’t keep a close enough watch on my staff. I will get her back and give you an explanation, as well as return all the money."

After these words, Zhang Tao returned to his own office and began making phone calls. It seemed like he was summoning some people from the underworld to track down Shi Jia and see if they could get her back. Shi Jia mustn’t be an ordinary woman; otherwise, she wouldn’t have gotten involved with the dark web. She was likely converting all that money into foreign currency now.

Then planning to flee to another country—countries in chaos are much harder to search. Shen Dong felt that if he didn’t help out, relying on Zhang Tao alone might take who knows how long to catch her. He then gave Wang Xiaocon a look, signaling him to bring Shi Jia back.

Wang Xiaocon was the best at this kind of thing. Upon receiving the order, he immediately got to work. Zhang Tao was just informed as a courtesy, without expecting him to actually bring her back. This put Zhang Tao in a tough spot.

Therefore, he went to Zhang Tao and said, "Don’t worry; your most important task right now is to get the software done. Leave the rest to me. Catching a person is easy for me but would indeed drain a lot of your energy.
