Wen Fan listened to her, and instantly felt that he had been deceived.

When he met Lin Xiu for the first time, he thought that she was a cute and gentle girl. But he never thought that she is….stealing information now? !

And moreover, she’s trying to steal such an important core of technology!

While Wen Fan was still in deep thoughts, he sensed that the drawer was pulled open and a woman’s face slowly appeared in front of the phone screen.

Lin Xiu who was searching anxiously for the information met eyes with Wen Fan who was in Lou Wei’s phone.

Wen Fan was already awake, so Lou Wei’s phone has changed from a black screen to a desktop display mode. They stared at each other.

Lin Xiu immediately took a step back in guilty conscience.

Because she wasn’t a member of the Compagnon team, she was not allowed to enter the research room of the designing team. And after she started joining the company Lou Wei does not hold any meetings with the entire staff of the company, but only held departmental meetings with the staff of the designing department. Moreover, the company clearly prohibits the employees from discussing matters regarding ‘Compagnon’ outside of the meeting room. Therefore. Lin Xiu never saw Wen Fan before and never learned about ‘Compagnon’ in great detail. She also never spoke to Wen Fan before.

She only gets to learn about ‘Compagnon’ based on Lin Xiao’s brief explanation that ‘Compagnon is a virtual character RPG game with endless possibilities. The virtual character could communicate with its phone owner like a real human and also based on Ke Yanan’s post regarding Compagnon on Weibo

The moment she saw Wen Fan, she had a feeling that this tiny man would expose her wrongdoing! Because Lin Xiao ever mentioned that Wen Fan is very human like. He could hold a conversation with his owner and he was like a real human being. He could even replicate the emotions of that of a human.      

If he told Lou Wei later that he had seen a woman who pried open his drawer and searched around it, wouldn’t that expose her?    

This is the first time she did such a sneaky thing. She was already lacking in confidence in pulling this off, and now, her body went weak all over.     

However…

Lin Xiu recalled that there was no surveillance camera in Lou Wei’s office. If she took away this mobile phone with Compagnon installed in it, doesn’t that mean she would be able to destroy all the evidence of what she’d done and she could also complete the mission that Si Yu passed to her? 

To Lou Wei, it would be just another cell phone. She took the phone and ran away. There is no surveillance camera in this office. Even if Lou Wei knew that it was her who took his phone, there would be nothing he could do about it.

After Si Yu paid her the five million dollars, there will be no need for her to hang around, stuck with a lousy job of serving tea and handing water here.

Lin Xiu widened her eyes that looked similar to her cousin, Lin Xiao, to look at Wen Fan. The greed in her eyes had completely replaced its original gentleness and kindness. She no longer looks like Lin Xiao at all and she was radiating with meticulous aura.

At first, she was still thinking about what she wanted to do as she picked up the phone. But when she saw Wen Fan already calling Lou Wei’s phone number, she decided to take action immediately!

When Wen Fan just managed to dial Lou Wei’s number, the phone was forced into a shutdown. Wen Fan didn’t manage to send the video  footage to Lou Wei and also the message to inform him to call the police.      

Although Wen Fan could contact others through the internet, he wasn’t able to control the phone on the outside world. Lou Wei’s phone could only be turn on by pressing on the power button. With Wen Fan inside the phone, there is no way for him to turn on the phone. And because the phone was turned off, he was unable to connect to the internet and he couldn’t contact Lou Wei’s working phone.

It’s over.

Wen Fan thought.

He probably understands why Lin Xiu wants to take away the mobile phone. Today is the day before Compagnon’s official release. Lin Xiu is here for no other reason than to steal the core technology of Compagnon. And now, he was about to be stolen, taken away from this place.

Wen Fan sat on the dark mobile screen. The QQ Penguin and Meituan Kangaroo stood still and stared at each other with wide eyes. Even the desktop background behind Wen Fan also froze. It was as if the world came to a stand still and he was the only living thing in that space, like in a movie where he was lost in the city full of corpses.

" "

Wen Fan is brave, he especially loves to watch suspense horror movies. But at this moment, he still felt a shiver down his spine. 

He couldn’t connect to the outside world and at the same time, the connection to Lou Wei’s computer was interrupted. He vaguely felt that he was placed inside Lin Xiu’s pocket.

And he was then taken away from the room.

Lin Xiu took Wen Fan out of Lou Wei’s office. Wen Fan immediately heard Lou Wei talking on the phone in the corridor. Wen Fan was getting really anxious that he dashed to the screen and shouted Lou Wei’s name. But because he was not connected to the internet, the audio program that Lou Wei installed for him was not functioning at all. He can’t make any sound now.

Wen Fan could only pound on the phone’s glass screen, calling out to Lou Wei without a sound.      

Wen Fan never felt so useless before. 

He is about to be taken away, leaving Lou Wei, and even likely to be taken apart for data research.

Wen Fan has tried before, but there’s simply no way for him to get out of Lou Wei’s phone. He couldn’t understand why. But if he was taken away, it would be impossible for him to come back by himself. And after Lin Xiu took him away, there’s definitely no way that they would let him live. Even if they were unable to replicate Compagnon’s source code, they would destroy the phone in order to destroy the evidence.

The more Wen Fan thought about it, the more he felt smoke rising above his head. He could sense that his life was over. He clasped his tail in between his legs and leaned his face against the phone screen, calling out to Lou Wei’s name silently. 

Lou Wei! Lou Wei! Lou Wei!

For some reason, his telepathy might have worked. When Lin Xiu pressed on the elevator’s button, Wen Fan heard Lou Wei suddenly stopped talking on the phone and turned around to speak to Lin Xiu, “Wait.”      

Lin Xiu didn’t want to turn her head at all. She took a deep breath with her back facing Lou Wei, and then turned her head to look at him without turning her body around. She tried to put a smile on her face, “Yes, President Lou?”

Wen Fan held his breath as he leaned closer to the phone screen, listening to Lou Wei’s voice outside.
