Chapter 597: Chapter 597: Sell Off

Across from her, the indicator simply showed "typing...," but no message had come through yet. Shi Jia was particularly anxious. Suffering from a guilty conscience, whenever someone glanced at her computer, she felt extremely nervous, as if she wanted to hide it inside her coat, fearing being discovered and ending up in prison.

Her heart thumped wildly. Only when she checked her account and saw the amount had indeed increased, did she truly feel happy. However, seeing that the person across didn’t reply, she couldn’t help urging, "You don’t need to worry. I’m not asking for much, just enough money to survive. I believe you’re financially robust; you shouldn’t be so stingy. Besides, this software will definitely be profitable, and you will earn far more than what you pay."

"Stop being so tight-fisted. I’ve provided such a great idea. If you can’t make money off it, I don’t know what to say."

Fearing that the other party might eventually backtrack, demanding her to return the money, Shi Jia boosted her efforts to convince, sure the other side would see the profitability and she could smoothly take the money.

"Haha, beautiful lady, I am actually quite willing to collaborate with you. However, from what I’ve found, this doesn’t seem to be your idea, but your company’s. I hadn’t expected you to be so ruthless, selling your company’s secrets. If you’re caught, you’ll be behind bars for years.

"You dare price it here? If you don’t provide more insights for free right now, I can immediately call the police or directly contact your boss. Which option do you prefer?"

The person kept typing because they were researching. She hadn’t anticipated that they could gather such detailed information and expose her theft from her company. Regret set in—why had she posted this information on the dark web.

She was completely at this person’s mercy; if they truly called the police, she wouldn’t survive. The police approaching would be shameful enough, but her colleagues would gossip and she’d lose her job.

Watching her from the dark web, the person didn’t reply and eventually laughed aloud. Modern young women are like this, easily intimidated by a few threats, still daring to ask for more money.

They don’t consider their own background. I’ve suffered more setbacks than she’s eaten rice. Wang Xiaocon thought that now he had a new strategy to offer his boss.

"Given your pitiful state, I’ll give you one chance. What I’ve given you could have bought a complete business plan. Now, just photograph this business plan for me, including any future strategies. Lay it all out to me, and then, I might consider not calling the cops.

"Can we settle this as quid pro quo? If not, I don’t mind helping your company deal with you, the traitor."

After saying this, he waited for her reply. Shi Jia dared not disagree now; if the other party had found out, her disagreeing would mean getting arrested here. If she returned now, she might escape this ordeal, leaving her no choice but to agree. After all, the money was enough for her to live on for a long time. She had to admit, her counterpart was exceedingly cunning.

The dark web wasn’t as safe as she had imagined, casually gathering information, including all the frustrations and malicious comments she had posted anonymously as an unknown worker.

Shi Jia wished she could delete all that content immediately, but once posted on the dark web, it was impossible to remove.

"I agree, but this plan isn’t that complete; we’ve only made a rough framework. I’ll send you what we have so far, but I can’t stay here. If I’m discovered, I’m doomed. I want to escape this place.

"I can only provide a rough outline for now; you’ll have to come up with the rest. But with this framework, you should be able to develop the remaining parts, as long as you’re not too dim-witted. I believe you can manage this software well," Shi Jia said, then started packing her things.

Seeing Shi Jia preparing to leave, her colleagues also sensed from her words, she had been holding back anger for a while and now was ready to leave. This departing of two colleagues would inevitably make their future tasks a bit heavier.

Wang Xiaocon, after receiving the detailed business plan, was thrilled. He had struck gold and immediately called his boss, certain this design would be lucrative, something unheard of till then.

Driving, Shen Dong received a call, "Boss, guess what useful stuff I dug up on the dark web? You’d never guess." The voice of Wang Xiaocon came through the phone, clearly excited about his find.

"Stop teasing and tell me, what’s the great discovery? I need to get back to soothe your sister-in-law, wondering what she’s bothered by daily," Shen Dong felt quite helpless.

"Alright, if Boss won’t guess, I’ll tell. It’s a very detailed business plan, packing lots of content. It’s a new money-making venture, which I think will interest you. I haven’t seen anything like it on the market yet. However, it’s a bit murky,

since it was smuggled out by a company’s employee. I impulsively bought it without much thought, certain I can handle this situation even if someone comes after us," Wang Xiaocon said, blatantly ready to claim the file, ignoring anyone who might come searching.

Shen Dong massaged his temple, planning to first see what exactly this file was.
