Forced marriage by a substitute bride? The spoiled son of a prominent Beijing socialite! His whole f

While Tang Xiaoyue was fiercely accusing He Yan, Tang Yong and He Huijun both wore expressions of watching a good show.

They exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing undisguised smugness.

Let's see how He Yan can explain this now!

He Zhengyuan also frowned, his heart filled with complicated emotions.

He didn't want to suspect He Yan, but this matter had a great impact, and he couldn't make up his mind for the time being.

Su Wan was incredulous throughout, which also led to her resentment towards He Yan.

Why does this keep happening?

"I'm a suspect, where's the evidence?"

Upon hearing this, He Yan looked sharply at Tang Xiaoyue.

At this moment, her emotions were also stirred, and she exuded a powerful aura.

Regardless of whether she was acting under someone's orders, or who was acting on her orders.

Ultimately, she will pay the price for her ignorance.

"Tang Xiaoyue, I thought you were just stupid. Have you forgotten the consequences of slandering me last time so quickly?"

He Yan really couldn't stand it anymore; her eyes were cold and sharp, and she felt annoyed.

She could feel the malicious gaze directed at her.

She doesn't care about her parents' attitude.

She doesn't need their trust either.

But things shouldn't happen more than three times. Since Tang Xiaoyue has repeatedly provoked her, she won't let it go.

"He Yan, do you think we would come after you without evidence?"

He Huijun immediately chimed in, putting pressure on He Zhengyuan.

She was wary of He Yan and couldn't wait to get rid of her.

“Brother, we can all prove our innocence. Right now, He Yan is the most suspicious. Don’t ignore her just because she’s your biological daughter. If word gets out, it won’t convince the public.”

Tang Yong chimed in from the side, his eyes filled with malice.

"As the biological daughter of the He family, her betrayal should have a greater price to pay."

"Are you all trying to convict Xiaoyan? I only agreed to let her come back and explain herself, not to treat her like a criminal!"

Grandpa He was angry. He beckoned to He Yan, asking her to come and sit down.

He held He Yan's hand, his eyes filled with heartache.

"This is a family matter to understand what happened, not an interrogation."

He Yan smiled at her grandfather, reassuring him.

She looked up and then at Tang Xiaoyue.

She was willing to cooperate because she didn't want the drug research project to run into problems, which would affect her investigation.

"What evidence do you have this time?"

This time, Tang Xiaoyue learned her lesson and handed over a genuine surveillance video.

The surveillance footage showed He Yan's entry and exit times from the pharmaceutical research center, as well as computer system data indicating that she logged into the company network, viewed internal documents, and even made a copy.

“I didn’t tamper with this surveillance footage. He Yan, you’re finished.”

Tang Xiaoyue smiled smugly.

"This is truly a case of catching a mouse and having it delivered to your door."

Seeing that the matter was already settled, He Huijun immediately put pressure on her elder brother.

She refused to believe that this wouldn't be enough to drive He Yan away.

“Dad, you feel sorry for He Yan and brought her home, but she doesn’t know how to be grateful. First, she took Yi Yi’s things and took advantage of the Bo family. Now she’s even stealing things from our house.”

“Huijun, we can’t be sure that Xiaoyan did this.”

He Zhengyuan was still somewhat hesitant.

He didn't want to jump to conclusions, but the surveillance footage was genuine.

Su Wan wanted to say something, but she couldn't open her mouth.

Grandpa He simply didn't believe it; he insisted on protecting He Yan.

"You think you can implicate Xiaoyan with just this one surveillance video?"

He Yunyi, who stayed away from the battle, had a subtle expression, but his gaze towards He Yan was filled with suspicion.

He Yiyi then pretended to speak up, feigning righteousness.

“Aunt, my sister is actually very serious about her work. She cares a lot about the progress of the project and follows up several times a day. She doesn’t seem like the type to betray the He family.”

She seemed to be trying to exonerate He Yan, but she also raised new questions.

He Yan looked at the surveillance footage, remained silent for a moment, and then spoke.

“This surveillance footage is indeed genuine. I admit that I logged into the system and viewed the data.”

Her tone shifted, and her gaze became firm again.

“But I did not copy it, and I will not admit to that.”

He Yan was willing to explain because of her grandfather and didn't want to trouble him.

Tang Xiaoyue scoffed, her lips curling into a mocking smile.

"What's the point of denying it when faced with evidence?"

This was a carefully designed trap. No matter how lucky He Yan was, she was doomed to fall for it!

If we get rid of He Yan, there will be one less person competing with her.

Thinking this, Tang Xiaoyue's eyes were filled with urgency.

He Yan raised her eyes and scanned everyone present, finally fixing her gaze on Tang Xiaoyue's face.

Her gaze was as if she were looking at a bouncing clown.

Tang Xiaoyue's expression tightened; that look inexplicably made her feel uneasy.

But she still tried to remain calm.

There won't be any problems, we'll definitely succeed this time!

"Grandpa, there's nothing wrong with the surveillance footage, but the records on the computer have been deliberately deleted."

He Yan smiled, her expression relaxed and slightly content.

As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions on the faces of the people present varied.

When Grandpa He saw how confident He Yan was, his eyes lit up.

"Xiaoyan, can you recover?"

Some people were skeptical, while others were anxious, but He Huijun immediately spoke up to stop them.

"Dad, how can you trust her so much? He Yan came back from the countryside and doesn't know anything. How could she possibly recover deleted files from the computer?"

"Grandpa, this matter is extremely serious, perhaps we should..."

He Yiyi had witnessed too many accidents, and she didn't want to give He Yan a chance to shine.

He Yan ignored their fussing and looked at her grandfather, smiling calmly.

"Grandpa, I can restore it, but I need the highest level of privileges."

Grandpa He immediately logged in.

He was also very angry.

"Investigate. Xiaoyan, I need to know who's behind this."

He Yan did not hesitate and quickly retrieved the deleted files.

According to the recovery time, the file was copied and deleted after she left.

"Grandpa, I've discovered something interesting."

He Yan found an account without a name and then tracked it.

Everyone could see that it was an account that only members of the He family had the authority to log in, and it was running an internal website.

This is where things get really interesting.

"The other party is controlling it remotely, which is why the surveillance cameras can't capture it."

"It turns out there really was a thief within the He family!"

He Zhengyuan was shocked, but happy that He Yan's suspicions had been cleared.

"But if we can't find the person, we can't recover the losses."

Grandpa He was also very pleased.

At this point, He Yan had completely seized the initiative.

She looked at Tang Xiaoyue with composure in her eyes.

"Tang Xiaoyue, what other evidence do you have? Don't end up crying wolf again."

"Of course I have more evidence! It's your connection with the Kim family."

At this point, Tang Xiaoyue had already decided to go all out.

She was determined to drag He Yan down with her.

"I sent an invitation to the Jin family. Is there a problem?"

"I asked Xiaoyan to deliver the invitation."

He Zhengyuan also knew that this did not prove anything.

Tang Xiaoyue, however, was confident.

"Uncle, you probably don't know that He Yan went to the Jin family alone later, did you? She even accepted gifts from the Jin family!"

"So what? What kind of evidence is this?"

He Yan remained indifferent.

She went to the Jin family to get some tonics for Grandma Bo on behalf of Bo Siheng.

But she didn't need to explain these things.

He Yunyi, who had been leaning against the wall in silence, suddenly spoke up.

"He Yan, I saw it."

All eyes turned to them, some with anticipation, others with shock.

He Yunyi frowned, his gaze fixed on He Yan.

“I saw everything when you went to the Jin family and met with them that day.”
