Spending the Villain's Money to Extend My Life

Chapter 161 – Amazing Employee Benefits (1)

Gu Shishi pursed her lips.

“What were the charges?”

Did that mean Boss Huo knew about the hiding inside of the closet and how she had set her up?! Then he took care of Fan Qing, for her?

“Dereliction of duty and thievery,” said Butler Lin.

“After you were ill, Dr. Qin said that it was because of what you had eaten. The young master asked me to find out what you had eaten, and we found out that your dinner night was prepared by Fan Qing. She wasn’t part of the kitchen team. Per our rules, she should not be allowed entrance into the main kitchen. The employees had their own kitchen.

“After the investigation, Fan Qing was let go. But while she was packing up, security and legal stepped in and discovered suspicious income under her name, and it appeared that she had stolen valuables from the mansion.”

Butler Lin paused.

“We are looking at a 10-year sentence.”

“Ten years?” Gu Shishi was very surprised.

Butler Lin nodded solemnly. “Partly it was due to my poor management.”

“No, no, no. I am just asking. I don’t mean anything by that.”

Gu Shishi quickly shook her hands.

“Okay, I am done with these gift boxes. You can go ahead and hand them out now.”

“Okay, Miss.” Butler Lin promised that he’d bring her hers that afternoon and walked away.

Gu Shishi, on the other hand, sat there and spun the color pencil still in her hand.

Ten years? How much valuables did she steal from the mansion?

And nobody ever noticed it?

Gu Shishi frowned and scanned around the living room.

She had been to the cleaning supply room before. There was a schedule in there, and two people were assigned to each location.

One responsible for performing the work and the other to double check and complete what had been missed. They were very well trained and very strict.

With Huo Sishen’s personality, the mansion was so clean that no visible dirt could be seen with naked eyes, let alone any large valuables.

How would it be possible that the person who was double checking would miss that fact that an item was missing? That was almost impossible. How was Fan Qing able to steal anything?

Gu Shishi mulled over it for a little bit before she gave up.

Soon after, she ran into Siyi, who just returned from the outside.

Siyi was the one closest to the boss and was also the one who could best read the boss’s mind. He knew very well that Gu Shishi’s status was going up and up by the minute.

He wasn’t as subtle as Butler Lin and just told her bluntly.

“It wasn’t possible to steal from inside of the mansion. There are security cameras and security guards performing daily checks.”

Having said that, Siyi scratched his head and pointed at the second floor. “The day that you got sick, Young Master got sick as well.”

“Oh?” That was the first time Gu Shishi heard about that.

Siyi nodded, more worried now that he was then. “He fell ill for three days with day one being the worst day of all. We found out about Fan Qing, and the boss was infuriated. He gave her one last chance to come clean.”

Gu Shishi didn’t really know what he meant by that and Siyi went on.

“We loosened up the security the day we let her go and let her roam around the mansion freely.”

Siyi stopped there, but that was enough for Gu Shishi to figure out the rest.

The boss had set her up. Had Fan Qing still had a shred of moral left in her, she’d just have been fired.

Yet she wasn’t able to resist the temptation of money and went to steal valuables on her last day. And that was an opportunity that was created for her intentionally.

They took her to court for stealing afterward.

“Miss Gu, she’d spend some time in jail and won’t be able to victimize anyone else,” said Siyi calmly. “If she learns her lesson, her sentence will be reduced.”

Gu Shishi nodded; letting Siyi know that she understood what he meant.

She was not a saint and had no intention to speak up for Fan Qing, who had tried to set her up time and again.
