When I saw this text message, my pupils shrank and my body shook uncontrollably.

This message was most likely sent by Jiu Ye. If that’s the case, does it mean that the assassination of Su Muyan at the wedding was his doing?

All the blood in my body seemed to be flowing backwards, telling me that Master Jiu was in danger. I never thought that the gift Master Jiu gave me would be this.

But the next second, another message came from Jiu Ye.

"This information leak is enough to make Fu Nanzhou and Su Muyan very upset. Taking advantage of this incident, you'd better fulfill your promise to me as soon as possible."

Seeing this, I was slightly stunned.

Data leak?

What's going on with Su Muyan?

Could it be that he wasn't the one who assassinated Su Muyan at the wedding?

Logically speaking, there was no need for Jiu Ye to lie to me. I was even more confused. If it wasn't him, then who could it be?

Just then, Gu Hanting came back from the door, saw that I was uneasy, and couldn't help but said.

"Xixi, what's wrong with you?"

I shook my head and said after a moment of hesitation that I couldn't tell him about this for the time being.

"Fu Nanzhou's company...has it encountered any problems recently?"

Hearing me ask this, he was a little surprised: "How do you know?"

Then he nodded and said firmly.

"Today, it was revealed that the Fu Group had an important document leak. Although it didn't say who did it, it was most likely Su Muyan."

I was silent. It seemed that this was the gift that Jiu Ye said he would give me.

Thinking of this, I pursed my lips and then listened to Gu Hanting continue speaking in silence.

"But after this incident came out, netizens' attention was also taken away by this incident. Now almost no one cares whether you killed Su Muyan or not."

What's more, such groundless things are not very attractive to netizens.

Hearing this, I took a deep breath and nodded.

"I see."

Back in the room, I was still feeling complicated as I thought about the attack on Su Muyan.

Although it was Jiu Ye who exposed the secrets, it was also the case that she was attacked.

I thought about it and sent a text message tentatively.

"Annie, were you responsible for Su Muyan's attack?"

Annie on the other end of the phone seemed a little surprised: "Why are you asking me?"

I frowned and after asking, I learned that since being captured by Jiu Ye last time, Jiu Ye has really listened to my advice and did not let Annie participate in this matter.

I was a little surprised to get this news. I just wanted Annie to disappear from Gu Hanting's company, but I didn't expect this to happen.

But Annie did not participate in this operation, and she knew very little about Su Muyan's affairs, and did not have a lot of knowledge.

I hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to send a message to Scorpion, even though I knew the probability of her replying to me was very low.

"Are you there? Were you the ones responsible for Su Muyan's attack?"

To my surprise, Scorpio actually replied to me this time, but still didn't say anything useful.

"Don't get involved in things that shouldn't be your business, just do your part."

I don't understand her reply.

Was it them who did it?

Before I could reply, Scorpion continued.

"Don't forget about the USB drive. Master Jiu specifically asked me to remind you of this."

"Can you give me a few more days?"

I swallowed and asked tentatively.

"Tomorrow is the deadline. You have no choice, Ji Xi."

On the other end of the text message, Scorpio gave me an ultimatum.

I had no choice but to agree.

After all, she was right, I really had no second choice.

Now that I am under the command of Master Jiu, do I still have room for self-selection?

After hanging up the phone, I looked at the coat hanging beside me, thought about it, and took out the USB flash drive from my pocket.

The next day, I went to Gu Hanting's company.

When Gu Hanting saw me coming, there was uncontrollable joy in his tone.

"Xixi, why are you here?"

Because the wedding incident hit me so hard, I had been imprisoning myself in my room and seldom went out. This was the first time I took the initiative to see him.

I just smiled and gently held his hand.

"I didn't miss you, I just came to see you."

Seeing this, Gu Hanting dropped the work at hand and pulled me into the office.

After entering the house, Gu Hanting still smiled at me gently.

"Is it hot today? Why are you sweating so much?"

My body stiffened, and then I forced a smile.

"Ah, is there any?"

"Yes, or are you a little nervous since you haven't been out for a while?"

I pursed my lips and smiled, without denying it, but my other hand held the USB drive tighter.

Although I love him very much and cannot bear to hurt him, I also have to consider myself. If I don't do this, Jiu Ye will definitely stand between us and destroy our relationship.

I also know that what I did was wrong, but I had no choice.

Thinking of this, I looked at Gu Hanting beside me and said with a smile: "It's getting late, aren't you going to eat?"

Gu Hanting shook his head and looked at me with tenderness in his eyes.

"I'm not hungry for the time being, and you finally came to see me, how could I just abandon you like this?"

I felt a little embarrassed by what he said and could only nod reluctantly.

After he stayed with me for a while and still showed no intention of leaving, I couldn't hold back any longer.

You know, Gu Hanting started to be busy in the afternoon, and he would not have so much free time to insert the USB drive into her computer in the future.

Seeing this, I gritted my teeth and forced myself to say, "Han Ting, I'm a little hungry, but I don't want to eat out at noon today. Can you go down and buy it for me?"

Gu Hanting was stunned for a moment, then he curled his lips and said, "Okay, I'll let Fu Lin run errands for us."

"that……"

I saw him about to make a phone call, and quickly reached out to stop him. Then I said hesitantly, "I want to eat the meal you bought..."

Gu Hanting looked into my eyes, and for a moment, I felt a strange emotion flash across his eyes, but the next moment he smiled and nodded.

"Okay, then wait for me in the office. I'll be right back."

I nodded and watched him leave.

Then, I finally breathed a sigh of relief, took out the USB drive from my pocket, and held it tightly in my hand.

The next step was easy. I just had to plug the USB drive into her computer and I'd be done. Then I could wait for him to come back, talk to him briefly and leave.

If it were someone else, I would do the same without hesitation.

But this person happened to be Gu Hanting.

I took a deep breath, looked at the computer beside me hesitantly, and fell into deep thought.
