Chapter 258 - Embezzlement. (2/2)

Someone was obviously messing with her.

She ran her eyes around the house and found nothing strange or suspicious.

As she slowly began to move closer to the door, she saw a yellow postcard taped to the door.

She removed it from the door and read out the words..

'Merry Christmas little sister. Do not forget to check the laptop'

She looked at the note in confusion before peeking outside to check if she would probably see the person who had left it there but the hallway was empty.

”Little sister? Laptop?” She looked again at the note in confusion before closing the door. And straight she went into her room.

As soon as she entered inside the room, she quickly took her laptop to check for any mail and after searching and waiting for over five minutes, there was still nothing.

She shut the laptop and hissed angrily.

Who the hell was messing with her? What was she supposed to check her laptop for?

As she asked herself these questions, her eyes fell on her Aunt's bag that was on the ground.

After Cixi left, Sara had carried back her luggage and backpack back inside the room but since she wanted to meet Changyu quickly, she hadn't bothered to leave them in the wardrobe so she had dropped them on the ground.

As she looked at the backpack, she remembered the laptop she had taken from Joreen's school principal's office.

Was that it? She wondered before walking to where the bag was.

She was skeptical about it since no one else knew about the laptop except for her aunt, the principal and herself.

Even if the principal told someone about it, they would come for her and the laptop instead of reminding her to check the laptop right?

As she took the laptop out of the backpack, she carefully placed it on the table and opened it.

It was the same screensaver she had seen on the day she broke into his office. It was of the principal, his young wife, and little son all having fun in a park. The only difference was, the laptop was not locked now.

She took in a deep breath before searching for his mail. But when she finally found it, she could not access it. She guessed he probably must have tempered with it so they wouldn't be able to access it.

She sighed before remembering her aunt had made mention of a secret file.

She searched through the system and finally came across a file labelled with a capital letter X.

Out of curiosity, she clicked on it and saw many other documents and pictures of a building.

She had seen the picture in the leaflet the school had shared during the graduation party and so she knew this was the school's new project. They were making plans to relocate to this building after it was completed.

She was about exiting that particular page to go look at something else when something suddenly caught her eyes.

Underneath the picture, there were two tables that looked like a ledger of some sort.

She furrowed her brows as she carefully began to study it.

The table included the list of the materials that were purchased for the building, the number of materials and the amount they were purchased with.

From the look of things, she guessed the first table was the real ledger while the second was forged.

The prices of the first were all very low in contrast to the exorbitant prices she was seeing on the second.

Although she didn't know much about things like these, she knew it was near impossible to buy construction materials for such a low price, especially with the quantity demanded.

She quickly opened her laptop again to search for the prices of some of the materials in other to know the exact prices they were sold for.

When her system showed her the prices of such materials, she frowned even more. It was just as she expected.

The first word that came to her mind was 'Embezzlement'

He was obviously buying counterfeit materials for meager prices while pocketing the rest and presenting a fake statement of account.

How could someone be this evil? Everyone knew there was going to be a change of principal soon. Was that why he was doing this? What if the building collapsed? They do hear cases of collapsed buildings at least twice in a year.

Was he really subjecting other people's children to this kind of danger?

There was a ban on the sales of counterfeit goods. So who still had the effrontery to sell such goods in the country?

She continued to search through every documents in case she could find where he was getting the goods from and the more she searched, the more angry she got because she happened to come across more documents to prove he was a very dedicated embezzler.

No wonder he was living in a very nice and well furnished apartment. She had suspected since that moment that he was an embezzler.

Soon, her eyes came across something.

It was the mail she had been looking for. So it was saved here all long?

She quickly clicked on it and saw the message..

'For the graduation party, keep Wang Joreen out of the prizes. It's the only way your embezzling acts won't go public.'

An emoji of a sword was felt at the end of the message.

Her angry eyes remained fixed on the sword emoji and it didn't take long before her eyes shone as she finally recognised who the culprit was.
