Chapter 187: So Close
There was a brief commotion in the conference room, but soon all the executives present reacted, and without much resistance, they immediately handed over their mobile phones, watches, and sports bracelets.
A large table was set up by Lin Lin.
What made Gu Ze couldn't help laughing was that a few executives actually took off their suits and shirts with red faces.
Their respective assistants also moved quickly, and the computers were quickly delivered.
Soon, the manager of the technical department walked forward hesitantly, waiting for Gu Ze's order.
"What are you looking at me doing? You are the only one in our company who can find out these things. Let's start quickly. If we finish early, we can go home and have dinner early."
Gu Ze raised his chin to signal.
At this moment, Liu Rongguang, who was extremely silent on the side, suddenly coughed.
"President...I..."
Liu Rongguang took two steps forward, with a troubled look on his face.
"What's wrong? Just say what you have to say, and I won't blame you."
Gu Ze glanced at him lightly, his tone was slow and inexplicably had a magical power that could soothe people's hearts.
"I think the problem is more likely to be on my side. The last time I went out with you, President, I went to buy coffee. At that time, I was bumped by a woman and my phone fell to the ground.
She picked it up and gave it back to me."
"She also said at the time that he didn't do it on purpose and that if my phone was broken, she could compensate me."
"But when I saw that the phone was fine, I didn't ask her to pay for it. In addition, the time was urgent, so I didn't say much, bought coffee and hurried back."
"From that time on, there was always an electric sound when I answered the phone. The phone also dropped badly when it lost power, and it was always very hot."
"But because I have never been exposed to so-called surveillance, I didn't think about it."
Liu Rongguang's voice became lower and lower as he spoke, and he gestured to his cell phone placed next to the table.
"Let's check his cell phone first."
Gu Ze said to the manager of the technical department, and then looked back at the dejected Liu Rongguang.
"You don't have to blame yourself so much. People are always growing. If we haven't experienced it before, we will definitely not be prepared for these things. It seems that our opponents also understand us very well."
There was no reproach in Gu Ze's tone, and he was even very patient and comforting.
"But the president..."
"There's nothing wrong with it. Even if your phone is actually monitored, it's not your fault. Just don't worry."
Gu Ze immediately interrupted Liu Rongguang's guilt-filled words.
Such a situation made Liu Rongguang, who was already feeling guilty, not even knowing where to put his hands. He could only stare at the movements of the technical department manager.
At this moment, he really hoped that he could detect the spying software on his mobile phone, so that everything would come to fruition.
But at the same time, the uneasy tension tortured him and made his whole body confused. His heart was in his throat, and every breath he took was filled with tension.
Because there was a major suspect, the manager of the technical department came to check Liu Rongguang's mobile phone in person.
Other technical department personnel inspect other personnel's electronic equipment in batches.
Everything was going on in an orderly manner, and the atmosphere in the conference room was actually much more relaxed.
With Liu Rongguang's matter in front of them, they also saw Gu Ze's attitude.
I originally thought that if I really found out that I was being monitored, I would definitely be blamed by the president, but now it seems that the president is really not the kind of person who offends others at will.
The inspection process is extremely long. After all, it must be sufficiently meticulous and not perfunctory in every detail.
For two full hours, it was completely dark.
The final result was quite unexpected.
There was indeed a monitoring device in Liu Rongguang's mobile phone. Even when the manager of the technical department disassembled the device, which was not much larger than a soybean, from the receiver of the mobile phone, the device was still running.
No less than ten similar monitoring devices were found in other executives' cell phones, computers, and tie clips.
Because the equipment needs to be arranged quietly without people's knowledge, these things are very small, so small that they are difficult to detect without careful screening.
Fortunately, for this reason, most devices sacrifice a lot in performance in order to ensure they are small enough. Most of them can only transmit some sound, and do not even have the function of storage.
But this also creates a big problem.
Such a large number of detected devices will definitely make the other party aware of it and cut off the signal directly.
By that time, these devices will be pure scrap metal, and there is no possibility of anti-tracing.
Therefore, when all the staff in the technical department made sure that no fish had slipped through the net, they began to work overtime to counter-track, trying to find the information on the receiving end before the signal was completely cut off.
As time passed, the technical department manager's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and his expression became more and more solemn.
"...I'm really sorry, President. The other party was too cautious and cut off the signal source in an instant."
"But because these devices are too small and have insufficient power, what is certain is that the receiving end is definitely not too far away from us. Maybe it was done by those people who are entrenched near our headquarters building."
Finally, the technical manager raised his head.
In just a short time, his eyes were bloodshot and his voice was hoarse as if it had been sandpapered.
"Okay, I've written this down, but the more important question is, how come you were all bugged at the same time?"
Gu Ze nodded first, and then his eyes swept over the executives who had been installed with listening devices one by one.
Such a situation made the senior executives who were already too nervous to speak out loud to be extremely nervous. When they met Gu Ze's eyes, they all lowered their heads in guilt.
"We rarely appear at the same time due to different department responsibilities. After all, everyone is very busy."
"But if I remember correctly, there was a reception nearly a month ago. It was a charity event and all of us were invited."
"But because there were a lot of things going on in the chamber of commerce at that time, not all the senior executives went, only a few of us went."
"If there is really a problem, I can probably only show up at that cocktail party, right?"
A silver-haired executive said hesitantly, and after finishing speaking, he looked at others for their opinions.
As expected, the executives who had the listening devices found on their bodies all nodded in agreement after recalling it.
"Which company invited you to the cocktail party?"
Gu Ze was silent for a moment and then asked.
"Xifeng Group, they started their business in real estate, and they have been very popular recently."
