Chapter 45: William's Night
William sat on the ground, waiting for the progress bar to finish, and kept saying: Hurry up, hurry up!
He was more anxious than ever before. Even when he first started working in his youth, he was not as nervous as today. Google Search Reading
Why?
People or things?
When the progress bar was halfway, William's mood magically calmed down again.

He turned his head and looked out the window. Through the high-rise buildings on the road, he saw the bustling crowd in the central square and the lights that gradually illuminated the night.
His mind seemed to have a problem. The microcomputer in his hand became less heavy, and the act of breathing seemed to be out of the control of the body. The soul left the body and peeked into the essence through the body.
How about Umbrella Company?
The Umbrella Company in the past was no different from any other capital enterprise, but the Umbrella Company today has become less bad under the arbitrary rule of the current leader.
Employees who used to slack off and complain are now full of smiles. Those who originally shouted to resign suddenly feel proud of their identity as employees of the umbrella company.
Citizens no longer have prejudices against the umbrella company, but like the umbrella company more and more, and like the changes that the umbrella company brings to them.
No matter how you look at it, the umbrella company is now changing in a good direction.
So what is the meaning of his doing this?
The colorful lights carry the beauty of life and the happiness of citizens, and what he is doing seems to be destroying such happiness.
If the umbrella company fails in the end, Janice may not see such a prosperous age...
Why do I think of her?
William suddenly woke up and shook his head, but he couldn't get rid of those disturbing thoughts.
"William?"
Suddenly, a familiar voice called out his name.
William was startled and immediately turned his head to see Janice, who was wearing a dress under the yellowish light and staring at him with a puzzled look.
When did she come? !
Janice originally saw William by accident in the square and thought he had changed his mind and wanted to find him.
As a result, he didn't catch up with the man, but followed him all the way into the company and saw this scene.
Janice's eyes swept across the microcomputer in William's hand, and saw the data storage device and the line connected to the office host. She didn't think in some bad directions, but just asked in confusion: "I just saw you in the square, and thought you were here for an appointment... What are you doing now?"
"I'm dealing with some work matters and repairing this computer." After the initial panic, William used his excellent professional quality to make up a reason and tried to get away with it.
Janice is an ordinary woman who doesn't know about electronic components. She easily believed William's words.
However, things did not develop in William's good direction. Seven or eight big men in suits and headphones on their ears suddenly rushed in from the door of the purchasing department's office area, holding Tasers in their hands, and quickly surrounded the two.
"Put your hands up!"
"Put your hands where we can see them, now!"
"Stand up!"
The deafening roars shook Janice. She looked confused, but she instinctively raised her hands. She subconsciously looked at William, but saw a bitter smile on his face.
William threw down the microcomputer and raised his hands to surrender as required. He was discovered. Sure enough, he still couldn't bypass the security system of Umbrella.
The people who came to arrest the commercial espionage were several old acquaintances of Duncan, Rob, Buck, Kevin, Snow, who followed him to the Marvel world, plus two clone security guards.
They knew a lot of things. After leaving the security force, they entered the exclusive intelligence department of Umbrella, which was responsible for spy investigation and arrest.
Today was their first operation. They successfully arrested a big fish that had been lurking for five years. This made them very excited. They tied William's hands behind his back in no time and searched his body, only finding a mobile phone and a wallet.
Janice, who raised her hands next to her, was ignored. After realizing this, she almost put her hands down.
Seeing William being arrested, she said anxiously: "Wait, why are you arresting him? He is just helping to repair the computer... right?"
In order not to destroy the image that the umbrella has finally established, Kevin explained to the anxious Janice: "He is a commercial spy. We have absolute evidence. Now we will arrest him and hand him over to the police. If you have any questions, you can check the internal forum announcement later. If you are not assured, I still have recording evidence here!"
Hearing that William, whom she likes, is actually a commercial spy, Janice's head went blank with a bang, and she stared blankly at William with his hands tied behind his back.
The latter saw Janice's dull eyes, and his mentality was much better, and he nodded silently.
The moment he became a commercial spy, he was ready to be discovered and go to prison. Even if he went to prison, as long as he had money, he could live well, so he was not very afraid.
But now, facing Janice's gradually disappointed eyes, William's heart became less calm than he imagined.
"The first exposed commercial spy in the company, I didn't expect it to be Mr. William who has worked in the company for five years!"
A young voice came from the entrance of the purchasing department.
Everyone turned around and was stunned.
The person who came formally received the news, and just happened to come downstairs from the president's office to see Duncan who was in the excitement.
His arrival straightened the backs of Buck and others, and also made Janice temporarily forget the shock that William was a commercial spy.
"Relax, today is a special day."
Duncan stepped into the office area of the purchasing department, patted Buck and others on the shoulders, smiled and nodded to Janice, and finally looked at William, who had his hands tied behind his back, as if he had defeated a rooster.
"Although the information you want to steal is not too important, this behavior is still illegal, so you still need to go to jail and reflect... However, thank you for the five years you have devoted to Umbrella Company!"
Hearing this, William lowered his head. Thinking of his current protective umbrella and Janice beside him, he couldn't help but begin to regret it.
I regret that I should not have continued the mission.
Obviously as long as he stays in the umbrella company, he can work until retirement without any burden.
Obviously, as long as he doesn't do this, he can stay with Janice with peace of mind and live peacefully.
There were so many reasons, but he didn't realize until he regretted that money is no longer that important!
Janice's eyes were red, and her original intention to plead for William disappeared, and she said softly: "William, please reflect in prison."
William raised his head and looked at Janice.
Seeing the scene where the two fell in love, Duncan clapped his hands, interrupted their eye contact, and said with a smile: "It's not a bad night to go to jail. Let's go and watch the opening ceremony together."
William turned his head and looked at Duncan in shock. He originally thought that he would have no chance to see the opening ceremony, but unexpectedly he still had a chance. He couldn't help but regret it even more. He lowered his head and said to the two of them at the same time: "I'm sorry..."
