Oh my god, this is a bolt from the blue! A true heiress of metaphysics!

At this moment, Lin Yifan's face turned extremely pale, and large beads of sweat rolled down his face. His eyes were wide open, and his body trembled involuntarily, but he couldn't utter a single word.

About ten minutes later, there was a knock on the conference room door.

Lin Peilan's secretary, Deng Wenyue, opened the door, and standing outside was none other than Xiao Jiang.

She looked panicked and terrified, her face as pale as Lin Yifan's.

Not only that, Xiao Jiang was also wearing a pair of gleaming silver handcuffs, the cold metallic sheen of which sent chills down one's spine.

Two police officers in uniform stood behind Xiao Jiang, their expressions serious and their eyes sharp.

One of the police officers showed his identification to the crowd and explained his purpose before walking straight toward Lin Yifan.

Lin Yifan was slightly taken aback, then suddenly stood up and looked at Lin Peilan with pleading eyes.

His lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but when he saw Lin Peilan's cold eyes, he finally shut his mouth.

He knew that no matter what he said, Lin Peilan would not let him off this time!

Subsequently, Lin Yifan and Xiao Jiang were both taken away by the police.

The conference room door closed again, and the entire room fell into a deathly silence; no one made a sound.

Lin Peilan watched all of this silently, her expression remaining calm and composed.

After a moment, she switched the video on the screen and explained to everyone: "Actually, I had already discovered that there was an undercover agent sent by Tianle Company inside the company. So, taking advantage of this project, I deliberately set up this scheme to test who it was."

Now that the mole has been eliminated, I can inform the board members that everything that's out in the open has been tampered with. Even if Tianle Company stole the data, they'll discover serious problems with their products within three days. Then we can take the opportunity to launch our own products..."

After the meeting, Lin Peilan returned to her office and sat in her chair without saying a word.

She stared blankly ahead, lost in thought.

"boss,"

Deng Wenyue walked in carrying a steaming cup of tea, gently placed it on the table, and said, "President Duan just called to ask if I need any help."

Lin Peilan was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, but quickly regained her composure and replied softly, "I understand."

Deng Wenyue knew that she was troubled by Lin Yifan's matter, but it was Lin Peilan's family affair, so she didn't interfere.

Lin Peilan raised her head and said in a low voice, "I wonder... if my parents down there will blame me for being too heartless..."

After saying that, tears streamed down her face.

......

After finishing a task, Shi Xiaxia returned to the villa.

Qiao Zihao, who had sneaked back from the film set, greeted her and said, "Xiaxia, Brother Shi came today and brought you a lot of things."

Shi Xiaxia had already seen the large and small bags piled up in the living room, but she just nodded.

Shi Fuxi didn't see her, but sent her a message asking when she would be willing to return to the Shi family. However, she was busy with tasks assigned by her department these days and didn't have time for the time being, so she postponed it for a few days.

Afterwards, Qiao Zihao continued filming, while Shi Xiaxia handled other tasks to improve her rank within the department.

She was taken aback when she saw a task from Mujiang City University.

The task file indicated that many students at the university had the same nightmare.

Just then, Shi Fuxi and Shi Fanghai kept urging her to return to Mujiang City, so she decided to take on the task.

Just as she finished packing her luggage and was preparing to leave the capital for Mujiang City, Qiao Zihao once again took advantage of the fact that he had no scenes to film and secretly slipped back from the set.

When he saw Xiaxia looking like she was about to leave, he cried out in panic, "Xiaxia! Are you going to abandon me?"

Shi Xiaxia: "......"

She looked at the childish guy in front of her and smiled helplessly: "What are you talking about! I accepted a mission, the location is in Mujiang City. My brother and father are also urging me to go back, so I plan to go back and take care of it together."

“Then I’ll go too!” Qiao Zihao said immediately.

Shi Xiaxia did not answer immediately.

Seeing her expression, Qiao Zihao panicked and quickly explained, "It's not that I'm worried about my older brother and uncle."

He also changed his form of address to Shi Xiaxia: "Mainly because the Shen family is also in Mujiang City, I'm afraid that although Shen Qingqing has gone abroad, she may have left people behind to deal with you!"

And...and...and my older brother! It's been so long since I've seen him! I miss him terribly.

Qiao Zihao's voice grew softer and softer as he spoke, and he didn't dare to lift his head, afraid that Shi Xiaxia would notice his guilty conscience.

Looking at his expression, Shi Xiaxia couldn't help but laugh out loud: "If President Mu knew you were using him as an excuse, he'd be heartbroken!"

Qiao Zihao immediately retorted, "That's because you don't know how badly he used to beat me!"

After my mother passed away, I became rebellious and almost killed myself several times, but my older brother beat me so badly that I never dared to do it again!

"You're quite proud."

Shi Xiaxia looked at him speechlessly and urged him, "Hurry up and pack your things! I'll book your plane ticket."

"Okay!" Qiao Zihao smiled like a flower when he saw Shi Xiaxia agree. He happily ran back to his room to pack his things.

......

Soon, the two arrived safely in Mujiang City.

Upon exiting the airport, they were greeted by Shi Fuxi, who was holding a bouquet of flowers. Shi Fuxi smiled and looked expectantly at the exit gate.

However, when he saw Qiao Zihao next to Shi Xiaxia, his smile vanished instantly, replaced by a hint of impatience.

However, remembering how many times Qiao Zihao had defended Shi Xiaxia before, he finally smiled again.

"Xia Xia!"

Shi Fuxi walked quickly to Shi Xiaxia's side, took the luggage from her hands, handed her the flowers, and said gently, "Welcome home."

Seeing that Shi Fuxi was quite considerate, Qiao Zihao smiled and said, "Hello, Big Brother!"

"Big Brother?!" Shi Fuxi exclaimed in surprise, "President Mu is here too?"

Then, he turned his head and looked around, but did not find Mu Yun.

After a moment, he realized that Qiao Zihao's "Big Brother" was directed at him, and his face darkened even more.

However, he still maintained a smile and said, "Young Master Qiao is calling me?! I am just an ordinary person now, and I am not worthy of being called 'Big Brother' by Young Master Qiao."

Qiao Zihao's smile froze. He hadn't expected that even after performing so well, Shi Fuxi wouldn't appreciate it!

He sneered and said shamelessly, "Xiaxia and I are family, so her older brother is naturally my older brother."

"But brother, you won't accept me. Is it because you're still holding a grudge against me for not giving you face when you defended Shen Qingqing?"

Shi Fuxi: "..."

What a silver tongue!
