Chapter 36 Stay Calm
"What are you all doing here? Don''t you all have work?" A cold voice sliced through themotion just
as Jaden was fuming. Be appeared with a still face catching everyone''s attention.
The senior managers immediately bowed their heads and moved to both sides to make way for her.
Despite Be''s short stay in thepany, she was already able to establish a strong reputation.
Apart from Jaden, no one dared to challenge Be in Silvend Group, let alone offend or displease
her.
Everyone knew of the rivalry between Jaden and Be. Jaden still harbored ill feelings towards Be
especially after shended her position as president. Jaden was the main candidate for the post had
Be not been transferred. There had been friction between them ever since.
"What''s happening?" Be demanded, walking to Jaden''s side.
"I caught this security guard stealing confidential information from myputer. Miss Song, you need
to decide what to do with him, on behalf of thepany, "
Jaden advised dutifully, hiding his ulterior motifs. He knew Be wanted to back Peter up, but he was
determined to make the situation difficult for her, not as easy as she wished.
Be didn''t know what to do, cursing inwardly. He was speaking in front of everybody so she couldn''t
openly defend Peter.
She was sure that if she did that in front of her managers, news of her bias would reach the directors in
less than 10 minutes and her position as president would be in jeopardy.
As Be was trying to find the best way to go about the situation, four policemen suddenly came
rushing in.
"Officers, thank God you''re here. This man stole confidential information. Please arrest him and find out
who he''s working for!" Jaden immediately requested, grabbing the opportunity to have Peter detained.
Silvend Group was known as the biggest financial group in the Golden City. The police would surely
prioritize this issue and immediately jump at Peter.
But as they came closer, they recognized him right away. "Mr. Wang, is that you?"
The officer-in-charge was Richard Xing, Director of the Southern Regional Bureau. He didn''t expect
that the spy Jaden reported would turn out to be Peter.
"Mr. Xing, you came right on time. I need your help to prove my innocence, " Peter told Richard calmly.
"Innocence? What else is there to prove?" Jaden said in anger. He didn''t expect a mere security guard
to even be acquainted with the director of the police force.
"Mr. Xing, as an honorable officer, surely you wouldn''t bend thew just because you know the person
involved, would you? This man sneaked into my office to steal confidential information. I caught him in
action. This is the sh drive he used to store the data. We have witnesses and evidence. You have
everything you need to arrest him, right now!"
Richard didn''t know what to do. Had he known that the reported person was Peter, he would not have
come here. Now what? He was holding a wolf by the ears. How would he find a way around this?
Was it wise to arrest Peter? If the allegations were true, then there would not be any problems. But if
they weren''t, his position as director would surely be in jeopardy.
If he didn''t arrest Peter, he''d surely be under scrutiny for his refusal in front of the senior managers of
Silvend Group. Neither side wasn''t without risk. Realizing that he was in a severely precarious
situation gave Richard a very bad headache.
Thankfully, Be came to the rescue. "You don''t have to arrest him right away, Mr. Xing. Peter is
denying the allegation. We might as well listen to his side of the story."
"Be Song, you are obviously covering up for this culprit. I will file aint against you!" Jaden
used, pointing a finger at Be.
"How dare you! Who are you to address me as such? Know your ce! As president of thispany, I
will not hesitate to put a criminal behind bars; but also I am not going to allow any of my employees to
be unjustly used of a crime they did not do."
"If he is a real spy, I won''t defend him anymore. But if the allegations against him are proven wrong,
then mark my words, I WILL find out who is behind this trickery."
Be boomed, regaining her control over the situation.
Peter looked at Be with appreciation. "Mr. Xing, I am wronged indeed, " he exined calmly. "First of
all, I have never seen that sh drive before. You can check it for my fingerprints if you want to.
Second, although there is no camera in this office, there are cameras in the corridor outside. You can
check the time of when I came in andpare it to the timestamp on the data in the sh drive so you
can see if I was able to copy all the pieces of information there, in such a short time.
Third, you can also check his keyboard, mouse, and even his desk, and see if my fingerprints are on
there.
Fourth, I can admit that I sat on this sofa for a while. You will surely find my fingerprints on the armrest
and the ss if you want to check it too.
Finally, you can check if hisputer is wired to anything that would allow for remote ess. I believe
all these things should be enough to prove my innocence."
What Peter said left everyone silent.
Both Richard and Jaden clearly did not expect a mere security guard to be so calm and clear-minded
under a situation as high-pressure as this.
''Is he really just a security guard?''
Jaden felt very uneasy.
Only Be didn''t seem so surprised as she was well aware of what Peter was capable of.
Richard did not waste time. He immediately called for his team to check the CCTV footage and the
pieces of evidence Peter suggested.
Jaden''s face was white as ash. He knew he lost this battle and there was no way to salvage the
situation.
Jaden''s secretary was sweating so hard that she couldn''t manage to stand up straight. She attempted
to slowly exit the scene, but the police stopped her.
Two hourster, all the pieces of evidence were traced back to her. The policemen handcuffed her and
took her to their custody. The storm finally subsided.
Although he was taken off the hook, Peter could not help but feel bad that the secretary allowed herself
to be arrested instead of admitting that it was all the doing of her superior. It seemed that Jaden had
strings that he wasn''t aware of.
Back in the President''s Office
"You can no longer work at the Security Department. From now on, you''ll be transferred to the Logistics
Department as my driver. Lisa and Shelly have been performing excellently, so we''re going to have
them trained to be transferred to the Sales Department, " Be said, looking at Peter.
This is from N?velDrama.Org.
The Security Department was managed by Jaden. 80% of the staff there were loyal to him. After what
happened that day, Be was sure that it would be difficult for Peter to integrate himself with the team,
so Be had him transferred.
Peter was against the decision on his new assignment at first, but when he learned that Lisa and Shelly
were also going to be transferred, he decided that he also did not intend to stay anymore and finally
agreed to the transfer as well. "Can I get a raise?" he couldn''t help but ask.
"Yes, you may." Be nodded.
"Are there many beautiful girls in my new assignment?" he asked.
"Yes, there are, " Be said, starting to feel irritated.
"Will I be able to touch their thighs?" Peter asked excitedly.
"Go away!" Be snapped. He was unbearable!
''The son of a bitch is so difficult to change. You give him a hand, he takes an arm.''
Peter arrived at the Logistics Department and found that all the other drivers had gone out to work. He
felt bored being all by himself.
As his duty was about to end, he received a text message.
"Don''t leave after work. Wait for me at the basement parking."
Peter smiled with glee.
