Chapter 151 A Little Frightened
"What is this?"
The three people were stunned when they saw what fell out from under the table.
The object was only the size of a USB flash drive, very thin, and stuck to the bottom of the desk with a kind of chewing gum-like adhesive.
Perhaps it was because the adhesive was of poor quality, or perhaps it was because the impact of Zhou Xiaoli kicking the desk in anger was too strong, that the thing fell down.
"It looks like a bugging device."
"Don't touch it with your hands, protect the scene, and let the police come."
When Ye Kai saw Zhou Xiaoli trying to take the item, he stopped her and then gave instructions to Lin Fangshi, the HR director who was standing there dumbfounded.
"ah?!"
"oh!"
"I'll make a call right now. Should I notify the criminal investigation team or the economic crime investigation team?"
After realizing what was happening, Lin Fangshi took out her phone and asked the two bosses for their opinions.
Although we don't know how this thing got in here, its presence here definitely indicates that someone inside has a problem.
Ye Kai decided that it was absolutely necessary to thoroughly investigate this matter and uncover the mastermind behind it.
Soon, Lin Fangshi called the police.
The police are taking the suspected wiretapping incident at the high-tech company very seriously. They said they would send people over soon to investigate and collect evidence, and instructed them not to touch anything and to protect the scene.
"That's incredible!"
"The scenes from movies and TV shows have actually happened, and right here in our company!"
"Who put this thing here, and what is their purpose?"
Zhou Xiaoli stared blankly at the object that had fallen to the floor and was suspected of being a bugging device, a chill running through her heart.
She really didn't expect that starting a business would lead to something like corporate espionage, with even listening devices being installed in the office. What else is impossible?
It seems that as companies grow bigger and stronger, they will need to be more vigilant about security in the future.
Whether it's corporate security measures or the personal safety of senior executives, both need to be taken seriously and placed on the company's important agenda.
The police arrived very quickly, in less than half an hour.
There were four people in total, two men and two women, all dressed in police uniforms. They looked very capable and young, the kind of tech-savvy young people of the new era.
"Chairman Ye, Chairman Zhou."
"I am Xing Wenli, deputy director of the Economic Crime Investigation Division of the Binhai Bureau. These three are my colleagues. We are responsible for investigating your company's suspected commercial espionage case."
The young policewoman at the head of the group, looking quite capable, introduced herself to everyone.
"Thank you all for your hard work."
"Please feel free to make any requests that require our cooperation."
Ye Kai shook hands with the other party and then expressed himself very sincerely.
"Protecting law-abiding businesses within our jurisdiction is also our responsibility, so Mr. Ye need not worry too much."
""
Xing Wenli seemed to know a lot about Green Energy Core Power's situation, and she comforted her with a smile.
Her subordinates immediately sprang into action, using specialized equipment to take photos and conduct a full scan of Lin Fangshi's office. Sure enough, they found several more listening devices, but no cameras or anything like that.
"Chairman Ye, if I may be so bold, since there's a problem here with Director Lin, there are probably similar situations in the offices of other senior executives."
Xing Wenli studied the situation and then offered her opinion to Ye Kai.
"That's possible."
Ye Kai naturally agreed, so he asked them to go all out and search the offices of the other senior executives of Green Energy Core Power as well, to see what other unexpected discoveries they might make.
The search lasted the entire afternoon, uncovering over twenty listening devices and more than a dozen wireless surveillance devices, including listening and surveillance equipment found in the laboratory.
This situation greatly shocked Ye Kai and Zhou Xiaoli.
They never imagined that such a major security vulnerability would exist in the Green Energy Core Power company they had invested in.
If they hadn't remembered to investigate Lin Xiaobo's background and followed the clues to Yu Mofei, and if Zhou Xiaoli hadn't happened to know that Yu Mofei worked at Green Energy Core Power, they would never have imagined encountering such a thing.
Of course, the kick Miss Zhou gave Lin Fangshi's desk was a truly valuable one.
If it weren't for Zhou Xiaoli's kick, they might still not have realized that their security had such a huge vulnerability, and that the entire senior management team had been wiretapped.
"Chairman Ye, Chairman Zhou."
"Personally, I think your company should set up a cybersecurity department specifically to prevent this kind of thing from happening. Otherwise, it's really easy for others to steal your trade secrets."
"By then, your losses will be enormous."
Finally, Deputy Director Xing Wenli offered her suggestions to Ye Kai and Zhou Xiaoli with a touch of emotion.
As an important leader in the economic investigation department of the Binhai Bureau, Xing Wenli pays close attention to high-tech enterprises in the area. Naturally, she knows that Green Energy Core Power is developing very well and is a leader in the research and development of new energy power batteries.
If the development of green energy core power goes smoothly, their market value will be astonishing in the future, reaching a valuation of tens or even hundreds of billions.
Such a promising company would certainly be of great benefit to the economic development of the Binhai District.
Because of her optimism about the future development of Green Energy Core Power, Xing Wenli felt she should remind Ye Kai and his team to pay more attention to cybersecurity as soon as possible, lest they lose everything because their trade secrets were stolen by their competitors, which would be a great pity.
"clear."
"Thank you for your concern, Director Xing!"
"Our company is newly established, and there are indeed significant oversights in this area. We will correct them as soon as possible."
Ye Kai readily agreed.
Ever since he saw the bugging device fall out from under the desk of HR Director Lin Fangshi, Ye Kai had been considering raising the level of security.
Hearing Deputy Director Xing Wenli emphasize this again, Ye Kai naturally took the matter even more seriously.
Fundamentally, Ye Kai believes that the root cause of this incident still lies with Lin Xiaobo, who absconded with the money.
Unless Lin Xiaobo is apprehended, a shadow will always loom over Green Energy Core Power.
"If Chairman Ye trusts us, I can recommend a reputable security company in this field."
"They are composed of retired military and police personnel with clean backgrounds, are very reliable, and provide a wide range of security services."
Before leaving, Deputy Director Xing Wenli gave Ye Kai a suggestion and handed him a business card.
"Giant shield security?"
Ye Kai glanced at the text on the business card, then put it away.
The company's security is no small matter; he needs to handle it with utmost care.
He wouldn't make a decision lightly until he figured out the true background of the security company.
"Director Xing, we've found a lead on Yu Mofei!"
At this moment, a policewoman next to Xing Wenli whispered to her.
