Jiang Shang begged Ling Zhao to go home with a bitter face.

"Madam, it's already very late. Mr. Huo is waiting for you at home."

"Madam, Mr. Huo has no ill intentions. He is just asking for routine questions. Those of us who know the project information must accept the company's investigation. You asked Mr. Huo personally, and his attitude was gentle. He did not cause you any harm, right?"

Ling Zhao sewed one stitch after another until all the pearls were strung.

The needle tip flashed a sharp light under the lamp. Jiang Shang's pupils shrank, as if the needle was about to pierce his mouth, and he quickly shut his mouth.

But Ling Zhao showed no sign of going home.

She checked the stitching and weighed the garment.

It seemed to be too heavy, so she took out an electronic scale to weigh it. Jiang Shang watched her take off the pearl peony that she had sewn all night.

When will this be demolished?

"Madam..." Jiang Shang was about to cry, "Boss Huo knows he did something wrong, so he asked me to take you home. Don't waste your eyes here, it's not good for your eyes."

Ling Zhao seemed to have turned on the automatic blocking function.

Jiang Shang did not send the person back to Jinxi Garden, but he did not dare to leave. He had to move a chair and sit down. He was really bored, so he grabbed the small box containing decorative materials and started playing with the little gadgets inside.

Drop by drop, rustling sound.

But Ling Zhao seemed not to hear it.

……

Golden Seal Garden.

Huo Yixiu was sitting in the study. All three computers on the desk were turned on, but he was not looking at any of them. His eyes fell on a safe.

The safe uses both password and fingerprint.

The password is difficult for others to guess, but it is easy for Ling Zhao to try if he wants to.

The password was the date she was abandoned at the Huo family’s gate.

Fingerprinting was also easy for her. He collected her fingerprints and pressed them.

The man stared at the lock with sharp eyes. On such a special day, if she had thought about how she came to the Huo family, would she still betray him like that?

The man bent down, pressed a few numbers, and finally placed his finger on the fingerprint lock.

The safe popped open with a soft click.

But the man didn't open the door for a long time. After a long time, when he was about to reach out, his cell phone rang.

The name Fan Wenxin was flashing on the screen.

Huo Yixiu picked up the phone, and Fan Wenxin's anxious voice came over: "Yixiu, I heard that Qin Zhan, the representative of Dragon Domain, took our company's core information to become the airborne representative of Dragon Domain? He took our information and came to negotiate with us?"

Huo Yixiu said "hmm" lightly. Fan Wenxin couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry, but she was anxious and said eagerly: "I'm on my way to Jinxi Garden now. I want to talk to you, now, immediately."

She hung up the phone after she finished speaking, and a few minutes later, she appeared in Jinxi Garden.

"Zhao Zhao isn't here?" Fan Wenxin entered the huge house.

This was her first time entering Jinxi Garden. Looking at the mansion that showed off her noble status in every detail, Fan Wenxin's heart felt like it was soaked in vinegar, but her face showed the indifference of someone who had seen the world.

Huo Yixiu gave her a bottle of water and did not answer her question.

Fan Wenxin sat down and started talking: "Such a big thing happened, but you didn't tell me anything. Is it because my position level is not worthy of knowing, or was I demoted?"

"You are still recuperating. Given your illness, you should stay out of things that can make you anxious and angry."

Fan Wenxin took a deep breath and said angrily: "Huo Yixiu, I take care of the company. If such a big thing happens and you hide it from me, can I pretend that I didn't know anything?"

"I thought the company had signed a contract with Dragon Domain and was happily planning to hold a banquet, but I only found out at this time that Qin Zhan had become the representative of Dragon Domain. Who is Qin Zhan? The Qin Group doesn't want him to get involved, and as long as he spends money and doesn't come to make trouble, this dude actually wants to be involved in such a big project. Isn't this a joke!"

"So many people are watching our project. How will they view it when they find out that such a scoundrel is involved? What's the point of fighting back against foreign technology monopoly? Many media people will question us."

"How can you sign such a contract!" Fan Wenxin was so angry that she slammed the cup onto the coffee table, spilling water and creating a crack on the coffee table. Water dripped down from the crack.

Huo Yixiu looked at the crack quietly and said coldly: "Are you questioning me?"

When he became serious, everyone was afraid of him.

Even Fan Wenxin, one of the company's founders, had to hold back her strength. She pursed her lips and said, "I'm not questioning you. It's just that the information was leaked. I think we should first find out who leaked the company's secrets before discussing the bidding."

"With this hole, I can't even imagine what will be leaked out in the future. If we continue to develop this kind of project, within two years, there will be many companies of the same type. They might even develop something before us. Then is there any point in continuing our project?"

"In my opinion, the bidding should be suspended until the person who leaked the information is found, and then the project can be started again."

The water on the coffee table was still leaking down along the gaps. Under the dual blessing of shadow and wet water, the color of the carpet was particularly dark.

Fan Wenxin said so much in one breath, but Huo Yixiu kept looking at the crack. She bit her lip and said in a heavier tone: "Yixiu, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

"Or do you already know who leaked the secret, but you don't want to tell me?"

As he spoke, he glanced upstairs.

At this moment, a slender figure was walking across the yard.

She saw a new car in the house and recognized its license plate number.

Oh, if she doesn't go home, then that woman can come in casually?

Asking Jiang Shang to take her home was just a pretense because they knew she would be in a bad mood and refuse to come back.

Ling Zhao walked to the small arch bridge and stopped.

From this position, you can see the people in the living room through the translucent glass.

It was a large place with bright lights and shadows swaying behind the light green curtains.

Ling Zhao just looked inside quietly, feeling an indescribable feeling in his heart.

I don’t know if it’s sadness or the numbness of a dead heart.

She looked at the scenery in the yard and remembered the scene of her and Huo Yixiu chasing each other in the villa that night.

She hated herself again. She clearly had no expectations of him and hated him for hurting her so much. Why was she sad again at this moment?

In her previous life, he was the only one in her heart and eyes, and she listened to everything he said.

Fan Wenxin was his secretary and his most capable assistant, helping him share his worries and work, so she respected her, listened to her, and never doubted what was going on between them.

Sometimes, Fan Wenxin asked a one-on-one tour guide to accompany her out, saying that Huo Yixiu was too busy and had no time to accompany her. Were they actually at home, enjoying the flowers and the moon?

In this life, she is no longer obedient, so they fabricate false charges against her, scare her, make her angry, and make her not want to come back, so that they can find a chance to spend time with her under the moonlight?

Ling Zhao clenched his fingers.

She definitely couldn't accept such humiliation!

She crossed the bridge and walked straight to the window.

One of the floor-to-ceiling windows was not closed tightly, and was half open for ventilation.

A breeze came in from the window, ruffling the curtains.

As Fan Wenxin was speaking, she glanced toward the window and saw what looked like a ghost there. She was so frightened that she forgot what she was going to say next.
