Rich Brat: Sweet Revenge Of A Lazy Princess - Chapter 344
“What is it?” Shreya asked impatiently. After what she just went through, she really did not have the patience to be polite and mindful. And her head hurt like bitch.
“Sri corp… they have broken into Sri corp. when you were coming here. Your office had been breached. The office blew up…” Zack cut to the chase and put it out there for Shreya.
By the time they got the news, it was already too late. Thankfully nobody was in there at those hours and since it was such an urgent matter, all of them worked from their own houses.
Because everyone was supporting Shreya here, nobody thought there would be something like this happening back in the office.
Shreya did not react for a second. But her eyes stiffened uncontrollably.
“How did they get into the floor?”, Shreya asked calmly.
“Anne… they took her just as she was leaving work today…” Zack answered without continuing.
Anne was someone they had overlooked these few months.
Everyone else who had access to the floor had security around them because they were family one way or another including Madhu. Shreya had arranged it a long time before everything started.
But Anne was the latest inclusion… and she was also an unexpected inclusion. And they had completely overlooked this point to let someone protect her. It had been neglect on their part that led to Anne being in danger.
Since the access to the top floor of the Sri corp. is kind of the ultimate privilege within the company they enjoy a status within the company… Especially with the current threats that have been looming around everyone…
“How is she?” Shreya asked. Her face couldn’t get any graver than it already was.
“We found her in the rubble along with the other guys who broke in. The guys are hurt pretty bad but they will live. They were inside your room. But Anne is alright. She must have gained consciousness somewhere before the bomb went off and tried to escape. She got herself out of the room just in time and the blast threw her off… she is bruised and injured. But otherwise peachy…” Zack replied.
Shreya really wished she can beat someone up right about now.
She was really not someone who gets violent when she was angry. But today they were really testing her patience. She had really tried so hard to keep herself good all this while and they had pushed her too far today.
“Keep them alive,” Shreya commanded. She was going to prepare a special kind of hell for them.
“Don’t worry, our guys are already on it,” Zack reassured.
Breaking into the office had the clearest and the most straightforward motive to it.
They must have tried to get into the server room. That server had more than just the data about this case. It had everyone’s personal information in her network. It was a goldmine of data on every person that ever came in contact with Shreya. It also had the personal information of her team members.
So, Shreya couldn’t let it get into the hands of the wrong people. So, as a fail-safe, she had placed a self-destruction system for the room.
As long as someone tried to force their way into the room without proper authentication, the room will blow up within minutes.
It is a controlled blast with the most minimal damage to the structure or people themselves. Most of the room should be intact. But even if they do not die, the culprits wouldn’t be able to escape whatsoever since it also releases toxic gas into the air that will knock them out for hours. The whole floor would have been knocked out within minutes.
And that had what happened today… those guys must have tried to get into the room and got themselves trapped.
The problem was, very few people actually knew there was such a room in her office. Even when Adithya was around, he kept the room a secret that he shared with only a very few trusted family members and friends.
And that just made this whole situation so much more worse for Shreya. Because, if there was one thing that Shreya detested more than anything that was the betrayal of people she trusted.
And the motive to lure her out was also for the same reason.
After all, if she was still in the building, they wouldn’t have been able to breach in the first place. Even when it is not apparent, the security in the building is pretty heavy when she was in the building.
And most of them had been pulled away from the building when Shreya left the building and was mobilized to do her bidding leaving the building itself vulnerable.
It was actually pretty smart of them to stage an accident without any prior warnings. Because they wouldn’t have been able to touch her hair otherwise even she had walked into the safe house alone.
But more than anything else, the accident was not just a lure but a clear attempt on her life. Somebody wants her dead.
With the place Naren is in right now, he really couldn’t have done this all on his own… he should have had help. A lot of it.
If Shreya’s guess is right, Naren should have just provided the manpower as he used to do in the syndicate while the others provided the plan. There should be at least two other parties involved.
One who betrayed her and one who wanted the information on the server.
Naren should have been the one who wanted her dead. Or maybe all of them did and the others were just benefits that came along with it.
Either way, she had enemies. And she was going make them sorry…
The car came to a standstill in front of a beaten-down house. The whole house looked old and desolate. It looked more like a ghost house than a safe house which was perfect since nobody will ever think a state witness will be kept in such a place with no security.
It was hiding in plain sight. Unless you know exactly where to look, there is no way they could have found Abishek here.
