Tyler gripped the contract tightlyb, /bas if something had just clicked in his mind. He turned to the others stillbing through the files.

b“/bYou can stop investigating.”

Everyone bfroze /bmid–task.

“Mr. Hunt, what do you mean? Stop? We’re not investigating anymore?”

“I already know what they were after.” Tyler rose with the contracts in hand. “Their target must have

been these documents.”

A few people exchanged confused looks.

b“/bMr. Hunt, what do you mean by that? Are you saying they broke in just for these projects? But that doesn’t make sense–the contracts are with foreign partners, aren’t they?”

“Yeah, and once contracts like these are signed and printed, they’re final. Nothing about them should be

a problem.”

Yale quickly jumped in, trying to muddy the waters and divert suspicion.

“Mr. Hunt, could it be that you already approved and signed them earlier, but then forgotter on?”

Tyler red at Yale. “Yale, do you take me for my old man, so senile I can’t tell if I signed something or

not?b” /b

Yale immediately lowered his head. “I wouldn’t dare, Mr. Hunt.”

Pointing to the stamp and handwriting, Tyler continued coldly, “At first nce, it looks like mine. But if byou /blook carefully, the handwriting has a delicate, almost feminine quality to it. Itcks the force of a man’s pen. Which means it was forged by a woman imitating my signature.”

Yale’s heart jolted violently.

Did Tyler already figure everything out? They hadn’t even nned their next move yet.

Yale dared not say another word. He was afraid that any slip would shift Tyler’s suspicion directly onto

him.

At that moment, the technicians approached cautiously.

b“/bMr. Hunt, we tried to recover the surveince footage just now, but we failed.”

Their voices grew smaller and smaller. They didn’t dare to even meet his gazeb. /b

The office air–conditioning was set to its lowest, yet Tyler’s expression was colder than the room itself.

He walked bto /btheputer with the ck screen before knocking on the desk with his knuckle.

b“/bbYou’ve /bbeen at this for two hours, and this is the result you brought me?”

The technicians broke out in a cold sweat. Their voices trembled.

“M–Mr. Hunt, we really did everything we could. We don’t even know who this person is. They’re far too skilled. We’ve been trying to figure it out for so long, but we still…b” /b

“Still what?” Tyler suddenly stood up. His suit jacket swept across the table, scattering papers in a harsh rustle. He loomed over the technician, his presence crushing. “I pay you generously, not to hear excuses.”

b“/bMr. Hunt, we-”

The man tried to exin, but Tyler cut him off with a single raised hand and a cold re. “Don’t bother showing up tomorrow.”

“Mr. Hunt-”

They tried to plead, but Yale had already stepped forward to drive them out.

“Enough. Your skills arecking–that’s on you. Mr. Hunt was clear from the start. The one thing he won’t

tolerate is outside forces breaching our system. The surveince was destroyed, and now you can’t even

restore it. You know thepany rules.”

The technicians nced at each other before leaving in defeat.

Tyler then questioned the other staff one by one, but the answers were the same. None of them had seen

anyone enter the building.

Leaning back in his chair, Tyler frowned intensely. b“/bIf that’s the case, the intruder was most likely

someone on the inside. Only an insider would know the building’syout well enough to slip in unseen.”
