It Started With a Kiss: Leng Shao's Beloved Wife

Ten minutes later, the atmosphere in the conference room of the core technology R&D department was solemn and depressing.

Luo Yichen sat at the head seat at the conference table, his face gloomy, his sharp eyes scanning everyone present, as if he could see through the secrets in their hearts.

Wu Xinyan stood quietly beside him, a hint of worry in her cold eyes.

"I'm sure everyone is wondering why we're calling a meeting so late at night." Luo Yichen's voice was low, yet filled with unquestionable authority. "Recently, the company has experienced a series of leaks, which have seriously affected its interests and reputation."

As soon as he finished speaking, a buzz of discussion broke out in the conference room.

"A leak? How could such a thing happen in our department?"

"That's right. We always strictly abide by the company's confidentiality regulations. How could there be a leak?"

"Is there a mistake? Could it be a problem in another department?"

Luo Yichen raised his hand to signal for silence, his tone becoming even more stern. "I know everyone's been working very hard and doing their job very diligently, but the leak did happen, and the evidence is irrefutable. I hope the leaker will come forward and admit their mistake. The company will punish them based on the severity of the offense, but if they're caught, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

His words were like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's heart hard.

The atmosphere in the conference room became more solemn. Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look him in the eye, but their eyes were filled with anxiety and suspicion.

In the next few days, Wu Xinyan and Luo Yichen personally led the team to conduct a carpet-style inspection of the core technology research and development department, leaving no links or details unchecked.

However, to their dismay, the investigation was not going smoothly.

The department employees were full of resistance to their investigation, believing that they were being unreasonably suspected and their work enthusiasm was severely affected.

"Mr. Luo, Mr. Wu, we really don't know what the leak is!"

"Yes, we work diligently every day and do our best for the development of the company. How can you doubt us like this?"

"We are also veterans of the company and have made great contributions to the company. You can't treat us like this!"

Faced with the employees' doubts and dissatisfaction, Wu Xinyan and Luo Yichen also felt helpless.

They knew that suspecting everyone was the dumbest approach, but now they hadn't found any clues, so they had no choice but to resort to this dumb method.

At the same time, competitors also learned that Wu Xinyan was investigating the traitor, so they began to act secretly, trying to fish in troubled waters and create more trouble for the Luo Group.

They deliberately spread false information, saying that Wu Xinyan's company had chaotic management and unclear rewards and punishments, causing panic among the people. Some potential customers who had originally intended to cooperate with the Roche Group gave up the idea and turned to the arms of competitors.

Roche Group's stock price was also affected by this and began to decline slightly...

All of this was seen by a person who was secretly observing. He curled up a cold smile and muttered to himself: "Luo Yichen, Wu Xinyan, your good days are over..."

He picked up his phone and dialed a number, "Hello, the plan can begin..."

His words were like a thunderclap, exploding over the Luo Group...

"Boss Luo, something terrible has happened!" The assistant rushed into Luo Yichen's office in a panic, his face pale. "Shareholder Sun..."

The assistant's exclamation interrupted Luo Yichen's train of thought. He frowned, and shot a sharp gaze at the panicked assistant, saying in an icy tone: "Why are you panicking! The sky won't fall!"

The assistant took a deep breath, trying to calm himself, and spoke intermittently: "Sun, Sun, the shareholder, he, at the company's senior management meeting... publicly accused you and Mr. Wu of improperly handling the leak incident, which caused damage to the company's interests. He also said..."

"What?" A cold light flashed in Luo Yichen's eyes.

"Speaking of Mr. Wu..." The assistant's voice became smaller and smaller, almost inaudible.

"What are you talking about Xinyan?!" Luo Yichen stood up suddenly, with a barely perceptible hint of anxiety and worry in his tone.

The assistant didn't dare to hide it anymore and whispered, "Shareholder Sun said that Mr. Wu couldn't distinguish between public and private affairs. He was willing to sacrifice the interests of the company for his personal revenge. He also said, and said..."

"What else is there to say?!" The veins on Luo Yichen's forehead were throbbing, and he was obviously on the verge of a rage.

The assistant was so frightened that she trembled all over and shouted with her eyes closed: "She also said that President Wu is not worthy of being the wife of the president of Luo Group!"

Luo Yichen's face suddenly became terribly gloomy, like the calm before the storm.

He grabbed his coat from the back of the chair and strode out of the office, leaving only a cold and piercing sentence echoing in the air: "Convene the board of directors immediately!"

At the same time, Investigator Li finally made some progress.

Through technical means, he discovered some abnormal communication records in the internal network of the core technology R&D department.

These records are encrypted, making it difficult to trace the specific sender and receiver, but the timing and frequency of the communications are suspicious.

"It seems that we are getting closer and closer to the truth..." Investigator Li said to himself as he began to crack the encryption program.

However, at this moment, his cell phone suddenly rang and an unfamiliar number flashed on the screen.

Investigator Li hesitated for a moment, but still answered the phone.

"Hello, who is it?"

"Are you investigating the leak of information at the Roche Group?" A low and hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone.

"You, who are you? How do you know?" Investigator Li was shocked and an ominous premonition came to his mind.

"I know more than you think..." The other party sneered, "If you don't want to get into trouble, it's best to stop the investigation, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?!" Investigator Li asked.

"Otherwise, prepare to bear my wrath!" the other party said, and hung up the phone.

Investigator Li held his cell phone, his expression uncertain.

He knew that the other party was definitely not joking.

But he knew better that this matter was of great importance and he absolutely could not give up halfway!

At this moment, a news push suddenly popped up on his computer screen: "Roche Group is mired in suspicion of insider trading, its stock price has plummeted, and partners are withdrawing their investments..."

Upon seeing this news, Investigator Li's heart sank. He knew a bigger storm was about to come...

Partner Zhou, who was thousands of miles away, also saw the news. A meaningful smile appeared on his face as he muttered to himself, "Luo Yichen, Wu Xinyan, it seems you're really in trouble this time..."

He put down his phone, picked up the red wine glass on the table, and shook it gently, with an unpredictable light flashing in his eyes...

"It's time for me to come on stage..."

Partner Zhou gracefully shook the red wine glass in his hand. The scarlet liquid rippled gently in the glass, reflecting his handsome yet slightly cold face.

He looked at the negative news about the Roche Group on his phone, a playful smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

"Luo Yichen, ah Luo Yichen, you have come to this day..." Zhou's partner muttered to himself, with a hint of gloating in his tone.

He put down his wine glass and called Wu Xinyan.

"Mr. Wu, long time no see." Partner Zhou's voice was as gentle as ever, but with a subtle hint of alienation.

"Hello, Mr. Zhou." Wu Xinyan forced herself to cheer up and responded politely, but a sense of uneasiness rose in her heart.

"I won't beat around the bush. I need to re-evaluate our previous cooperation project." Partner Zhou's voice was still gentle, but it was like a bolt from the blue, exploding in Wu Xinyan's ears.

"Re-evaluate? Why?" Wu Xinyan's voice trembled a little. She knew that at this critical juncture, any disturbance could cause a fatal blow to the Luo Group.

"You also know that the most important thing in the business world is profit. The current situation of the Roche Group..." Partner Zhou did not continue, but the meaning was self-evident.

"Mr. Zhou, please believe us. We will solve the problem as soon as possible and it will not affect our cooperation!" Wu Xinyan was almost begging the other party.

"I believe in Mr. Luo's ability, and I also believe in yours, Mr. Wu's, but..." Partner Zhou deliberately prolonged his tone, with a hint of joking in his voice, "The business world is like a battlefield, it changes rapidly, and I can't wait that long."

After saying that, without waiting for Wu Xinyan to say anything else, Partner Zhou hung up the phone.

Wu Xinyan slumped weakly in the chair, her face pale and her eyes full of despair.

The withdrawal of investment by Zhou's partners undoubtedly made the situation worse, pushing the Roche Group to the brink of greater danger.

But she had no time to be sad, let alone despair. She had to find a solution to the problem as soon as possible!

Wu Xinyan took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. She decided to go to the core technology research and development department again. She didn't believe that among so many people, no one knew who the traitor was!

This time, she came to the core technology research and development department alone without bringing anyone with her.

"Everyone, I know you've all been very hard-working and wronged during this period." Wu Xinyan's voice was sincere and earnest. "But please believe me, the reason I doubt you is not because I don't trust you, but because this matter concerns the survival of the company. I must get to the bottom of the truth!"

"It has not been easy for the Luo Group to get to where it is today. We are all veterans of the company. Do we really have to watch the company go to pieces like this?!" Wu Xinyan's voice became more and more excited, and her eyes were slightly red.

Her sincerity touched some of the employees present, who began to reflect on their attitudes and realize the seriousness of the problem.

"Mr. Wu, you're right. We can't go on like this!" An older employee stood up. He was one of the founding employees of the Roche Group and had deep feelings for the company. "I'm willing to cooperate with your investigation, and I believe others will too!"

"Yes, we are all willing to cooperate with the investigation!"

"We will definitely find the traitor and clear the company's name!"

Seeing this scene, Wu Xinyan felt a glimmer of hope in her heart. She knew that as long as everyone worked together, they would be able to overcome the difficulties!

However, at this moment, a sneaky figure appeared at the door of the core technology research and development department...

A sinister smile appeared on his lips, and he pulled out a USB drive from his pocket, silently inserting it into one of the computers...

"Mr. Luo, Mr. Wu, something's wrong. Our department's computers..." A panicked voice broke the harmonious atmosphere that had just been established in the meeting room...
