<h4>Chapter 560: Chapter 0562: How Is It You</h4><h4></h4>


    The Bald Man humphed, "I’m telling you, you better give us a heftypensation to keep our mouths shut, otherwise, I’ll expose all of your shady dealings!"


    "Right! Expose them!"


    Chu Ge didn’t know what had happened, but he knew that Jinxiu Group wouldn’t dismiss someone for no reason, nor would they dy paying an employee’s sry.


    Chu Ge turned his gaze to Wang Shunjie, as if asking what exactly was going on.


    Wang Shunjie stepped forward and whispered into Chu Ge’s ear: "This woman has only been with thepany for three months and hadn’t even been made a permanent staff member before she was bought over by Ge Group. She took advantage of everyone being at lunch to steal confidentialpany documents. Thepany suffered considerable losses because of this incident. It waster discovered from the surveince footage that she did it, which is why she was dismissed."


    Wang Shunjie briefly exined the situation.


    Chu Ge’s eyes narrowed slightly, a dangerous light fixated on the woman.


    The woman, who hadn’t been intimidated by this young man in his early twenties, not even considering him a threat, now felt a chill slowly creep over her shoulders as his sharp gaze bored into her.


    It made her shiver all over, and she quickly averted her eyes, no longer daring to look at him.


    Chu Ge squatted down, staring straight at the woman and sneered softly, "Didn’t you say thepany dismissed you for no reason? Don’t you know what you’ve done?"


    The woman was clearly nervous but retorted stiffly, "I don’t know what you’re talking about? I was just doing my job well when you suddenly fired me!"


    Chu Ge scoffed. He knew that Mu Bingtong had not publicly disclosed the woman’s theft ofpany secrets, giving her onest chance. Once it was made public, the woman’s future would be utterly ruined,


    Nopany would be willing to hire someone who had stolen confidential documents.


    "Do you really not know what you did?" Chu Ge asked again, "Or would you prefer I recite all your past misdeeds in front of everyone here?"


    The woman became very anxious, her eyes darting around, unable to meet Chu Ge’s. If he really did reveal her actions, the rest of her life would be over.


    "Right now, you have two choices: one, take your people and beat it, and don’te back causing trouble; or two, keep causing a scene, and I’ll make your deeds public, and you’ll spend the rest of your life in prison."


    At that, the woman looked up sharply at Chu Ge, "Prison? Stop trying to scare people! I haven’t done anything illegal! Why should I be thrown in prison?"


    Chu Ge smiled, leaned in close to the woman, and whispered in her ear so only the two of them could hear, "Stealingpany secrets is illegal, and as for the sentencing, it depends on how much damage your actions have caused thepany."


    The woman swallowed nervously, suddenly growing fearful as Chu Ge spoke these words.


    She couldn’t go to jail! She didn’t want to go to jail at all!


    "You need to think carefully, whether you want to take the first path or the second."


    After Chu Ge finished speaking, he stood up, his hands in his pockets, quietly watching the woman.


    The woman sat on the ground, struggling internally for a while before slowly getting up.


    She thought her actions were wless, yet didn’t expect they had been known all along. Her making a scene now was nothing but a joke.


    The woman was ashamed, her head hung so low, her chin nearly touching her chest.


    And so, the woman turned around in silence to leave.


    But the bald man was not having it. He came up puzzled, grabbed the woman’s arm, and said, "That’s it for you? We haven’t even gotten the money yet!"


    They had previously agreed to split whatever money they got, fifty-fifty!


    If this deal falls through, wouldn’t he be at a huge loss?


    The woman’s head hung even lower; she wanted to shake off the bald man’s hand, but the disparity in strength between men and women was too great, and no matter how she struggled, she couldn’t break free.


    "Let go of me! I don’t want the money!" At this moment, the woman wished she could just burrow into the ground and hide.


    The bald man snorted, "You’re being unfair, we had a clear agreement to split the money half-and-half, and now what’s this all about? Give me my share and I’ll let you go!"


    By then security had already called the police, and just at that moment, the cops arrived to see the two grappling with each other, and took them both away.


    Thepany’s entrance returned to its usual serenity, and Wang Shunjie approached with a smile, looking up to Chu Ge with ttery, "Manager Chu, when did you get back?"


    "Last night." As Chu Ge spoke, he nced indifferently at the little security guard beside him.


    The man pursed his lips, scratching his head somewhat sheepishly. He wanted toe forward and apologize but didn’t know how to begin.


    Chu Ge had no intention of holding a grudge, and patted Wang Shunjie on the shoulder before turning and entering thepany.


    Chu Ge didn’t return to his own office first, instead, he headed to Mu Bingtong’s office.


    He effortlessly made his way to the door of Mu Bingtong’s office when Secretary Xiao Shan came out from the pantry with a cup of coffee in hand.


    Seeing Chu Ge, she came forward with surprise, "Manager Chu..."


    Secretary Xiao Shan was about to say that Manager Chu had returned, but before she could finish her sentence, Chu Ge shushed her, "Give me the coffee."


    Secretary Xiao Shan smiled and handed over the coffee.


    Chu Ge, with the coffee in hand, knocked on the door and upon hearing a voice from inside inviting him to enter, he pushed the door open.


    Because of Chu Ge’s sudden return the previous night, there was still some unfinished work. Mu Bingtong was hurrying to catch up and did not look up when someone entered.


    Chu Ge set the coffee down in front of Mu Bingtong’s desk, then quietly stood there watching her.


    Today, she was in her usual professional attire, her long hair casually tied up, with a few strands falling over her forehead, adding a different kind of charm.


    Mu Bingtong only nced up to see a cup of coffee ced beside her, instinctively assuming that it was Xiao Shan who had brought it.


    But after a long while, Xiao Shan was still standing there, silent as ever.


    Mu Bingtong looked up suspiciously, only to see Chu Ge looking at her with a smile on his face. She felt her cheeks inexplicably heat up and asked with a shy undertone, "Why is it you?"


    "Why can’t it be me?" Chu Ge countered.


    "Weren’t you supposed to be out on business?"


    Chu Ge nodded, "I finished up and came back."


    Mu Bingtong tucked the stray hair behind her ear, "Then why aren’t you at your workstation? Whye to mine?"
