Chapter 39 Is it not theft if there is no profit?

"I didn't mean to steal the tape, I just wanted to record a short piece to share with my family, after all, it's a cool thing to work in a film company."

When Edmondo arrived, the man was quibbling. In front of him stood several unfriendly managers and security guards, none of whom believed his statement.

"I know what you want to do, delaying time, right? Now the entrances and exits are closed and even a mouse can't get out. Your accomplice is still in this building." Edmundo walked over and bent down to meet his gaze, " I need his or her name."

As the director who controls the overall emotional changes in the film, he can sometimes judge whether a person is lying by the micro-expression on his face.

The man didn't speak, and Edmundo continued to ask: "Then tell me, if you really got the 40-minute video, what are you going to do? Let me guess - maybe you can get a lot of money by using it to blackmail the company." money."

The innocence on the man's face cracked, and he became flustered and angry.

"We didn't intend to make money! We just showed it at a party, and the people who came were friends and family. We didn't make a profit. It's not a crime!" He explained loudly, obviously to comfort himself, "I'm Working in a film company, shouldn't this be our most basic benefit? Why do you bastard speak of me!"

"Who told you that if you don't make a profit, it's not considered stealing. If you steal something from someone else and don't sell it, it's not considered stealing." Edmundo looked at the man coldly after speaking, and then he rushed to the door before everyone could react. The other party flipped to the ground, then squatted down and held down the other party with his knees: "And--just because I am the director of that movie, and I have a company contract in my hand, how can you, a bedbug in the gutter, have the right to shout at me?" Yelling, after stealing from me."

The man started pretending to be a victim and yelling like a rogue, and the people around hurried forward to stop him. Now that the police are not here, if the man sues them for his injuries, then the piracy lawsuit is very likely to fail.

Rui Fan who followed also helped to pull Edmondo away, "Relax, Dudu, don't be provoked." He comforted, "We will find his accomplices and pack them up and send them to prison, don't do it .”

"Don't worry, silly bird, I won't." Edmondo waved his hand to signal that Rui Fan could let him go, then he rolled up his sleeves, laughed jokingly, and said in a drawn-out voice, "Everyone, leave us a room." Space, I need a private environment to have a good talk with this gentleman."

Several people in the room looked at each other in blank dismay, no one was sure and dared not leave.

"I don't mean anything else. It's obviously embarrassing to be looked at by so many people. I believe my sincerity will impress him." Edmondo shrugged to reassure them and explained, "I know I can't do anything, please Don't worry, I won't touch him with a single finger."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Dimat. Mr. Legal Counsel hesitated for a while, and then took the lead in agreeing to Edmundo's request. He and several others left the room in sequence.

Soon there were only Edmundo and the man left in the room.

The man looked at Edmundo warily.

Edmondo stretched his neck and moved the stool to sit next to the man.

"let's start."

……

Edmondo stayed in that room for a long time, the neighborhood was quiet, and no news came out.This aroused the interest of everyone in the office area on the floor, but just as they started to discuss in a low voice, Edmondo slowly walked out with the access card in his hand and opened the door. The security guard immediately entered the room to check, and then They brought out the man who had been caught red-handed, and now he looked terribly frightened, wobbly and quail-like.

Watching what was going on over there, the two employees chatted over coffee near their seats.

"Look at him, he's so scared to death that he doesn't have any injuries, what did Edmondo do to him?"

"It must be mental torture. You forgot that Edmundo Moreira came out of a slum in Brazil. I heard from my friends that people there practice witchcraft."

"Witchcraft? You mean—wait a minute, they're looking this way, is the fellow here?"

"Relax, and you won't arrest people casually. You didn't do it. Why are you nervous?"

"Edmundo's coming our way! He's smiling at me, isn't he at me—God he's so pretty!"

Before the two of them finished talking, the tall and thin man with a goatee sitting behind them couldn't stay any longer. He quickly grabbed a few things and stuffed them into his backpack, and then rushed towards the door like a madman regardless. Hit a few people.

However, he couldn't reach the door after all, and Edmondo flipped over a few tables lightly to catch up and pin him to the ground.

"Don't rush to leave, sir, the party is not over yet, we can't do it without you." Edmundo put on a lazy and complacent smile, "Your friend said that there is more than one video in your place, come on, Let us see and see."

The two people holding the coffee stayed where they were.

Edmondo led several people in charge to search the desk of the man with the goatee, and took away all the CDs hidden under it. Before leaving, he patted the shoulders of the two nearest employees in a good mood.

"Good job, guys," he encouraged with a wink and a smile. "Keep up the good work."

The two looked at their shoulders in unison, their faces seemed to be burning.Nearly 20 minutes after Edmondo left, they were still standing there, as if there were two more lifelike sculptures in the office.

Soon, there were envious murmurs all around.

"Lucky bastards."

……

Dimat called the police. The two secretly recorded 58 movies from the year before last to the present. The top management has sent the financial department to liquidate. It is estimated that they still caused a loss of at least 100 million to Universal.

But these are the headaches for Universal. Edmondo walked up to Dimat and cleared his throat to attract his attention.

"So--satisfactory resolution." He spoke up, "Not bad."

"Yes, although "Entanglement" does not involve the issue of being leaked, it can still be prosecuted. The attempted theft of an unreleased movie can be linked to a commercial secret case. If combined, they may be sentenced to 2-3 years more in prison." Di. Matt told Edmundo in a businesslike manner, "The company will definitely sue them in the most serious case, so you don't have to worry."

Edmondo pursed his lips. He was no longer interested in prosecuting the thief after he had taught the thief a lesson.

"It's up to you to sue or not, I just look at the result." He said without prejudice.

Then, Edmondo's eyes couldn't help but fly over Dimat's chin to his chest. The legal counsel wore a dark suit today, and his muscle lines were not as obvious as usual, but there was a bit more abstinence|extravagance.

"I really need to replenish my energy. I have only eaten milk and cereals since morning. Asking questions is a physical task." He paused, and invited: "Would you like to have a meal together, Dimat Sir? I know that there is a new restaurant recently opened near here, and the reviews are very good."

Dimat didn't speak, he glanced indistinctly at River Phoenix who was waiting aside, and sneered briefly as if thinking of something.

"I don't have as much time as you do." He refused mercilessly.After speaking, the legal adviser turned and left the floor without making any further remarks.

This is the fifth time he has rejected Edmundo, which broke a record that Edmundo had kept for many years. Even Leonardo, who hated him at first, only kept the rejection at 5 times.

Edmondo has never met such a person who becomes more mysterious as he gets in touch with him. Dimat has always been alone. He has never seen him have a girlfriend or boyfriend. He does not go to most celebrations and parties, and his usual whereabouts Few people knew, and the entire Universal company couldn't find a single person who had been to his house.

"Don't worry, Mr. Lawyer, one day I will find out everything about you." Edmondo stretched his waist, and then waved to Rui Fan, "Let's go and have something to eat in the afternoon. Going to the beach to soak up the sun, are you coming, dear?"

Rui Fan smiled reluctantly, neither agreed nor refused.

He saw everything just now, it's hard to say what mood he is in now, he is happy that finally someone interested in Edmondo rejected him, but he is afraid that this situation will last too long Edmondo Will get serious about that lawyer.

He can accept Edmundo hanging out among many people, but only because he knows what he thinks, and Edmundo is not ready to settle with anyone, such as Jim Rose, or Leonardo.No one can shake his position, not even Keanu.

But Di Matt Moore easily drew attention with his refusal.

Seeing that Rui Fan was silent, Edmondo waved his hand in front of his eyes.

"What's the matter today, did you make an appointment to reject me together?" He teased, "If you don't like my arrangement, just say so, Rui Fan, I can listen to you too."

"No, I just thought of some work problems." Rui Fan shook his head and explained, "If you want to go to the beach, then we can go. I have no other arrangements in the afternoon. The promotion of "Black Blood" and other auditions will have to wait until at least next Wednesday .”

The two chatted and took the elevator downstairs, but just as they were about to find a taxi to go to the restaurant, Leonardo ran out of nowhere, literally, literally.

"wait wait wait--"

The blond boy ran up to Edmundo and stopped. He propped his knees and panted heavily. His shirt was more than half wet, and sweat dripped down his hair to the ground.

"My God, Leo, did you just come back from swimming?" Edmundo looked over in surprise, and then patted him on the back to give him relief, "Why are you in such a hurry, you learned a new posture Or did you buy a new toy and want me to see it?"

"Don't bother me, it's a very serious business. I just ran over halfway when I encountered a traffic jam." Leonardo gave him a slightly dissatisfied look, and then threw a pager into Edmondo's hand. Li, "I finished filming today, and I just went to the office to see you, and you weren't there, but your pager kept ringing, so I went to check - Anderson wants you to call him back."

Anderson?

Edmondo raised an eyebrow.

But before he could ask a question, Leonardo went on to narrate: "I'm worried about something important, and I've already talked to him on the phone, and he asked me to tell you that a man who claims to be your relative has come to your house and is arguing to see him." You, he doesn't know what to do."

relative?He has relatives?

Edmondo showed a puzzled question mark face. He lived with his mother when he was a child, so it was impossible for him to belong to his mother, and when his father inherited the manor, no one told him that there was any possibility of robbing him. Inherited relatives.

and so--

Is this a scam?

Leonardo finally calmed down his breath: "By the way, he also has the same white hair as you."
