"What happened?"

Su Yanxi stopped at the entrance of the copy room. She had heard Shen Shi'an's voice as soon as she stepped out of the elevator. She had never heard Shen Shi'an so angry before, so she rushed over immediately. But she never expected that it was Gu Yannian who had angered Shen Shi'an so much.

"Gu Yannian shredded my files!"

Shen Shi'an stared at Gu Yannian, his tone harsh.

"Documents? Documents for your overseas projects?"

"That's right! This information was something I found with great difficulty, and it was the only copy! But now, Gu Yannian has shredded it!"

Upon hearing this, Su Yanxi turned to look at Gu Yannian: "What's going on?"

"how could I know?"

Gu Yannian was completely bewildered. He was just helping someone out, how did he end up making a mistake?

But seeing Shen Shi'an's expression of wanting to tear her apart, Gu Yannian tried to calm herself down and then explained the whole story: "That's how it is. I had no idea what the information was. I was just helping out."

"you are lying!"

Shen Shi'an simply didn't believe Gu Yannian's explanation: "I had Xiao Chen help me translate this document. Xiao Chen knows the importance of this document, so why would he ask you to help him destroy it?"

"Whether I'm lying or not, just call the person over and confront me!"

Shen Shi'an didn't answer, but just stared intently at Gu Yannian.

Su Yanxi frowned slightly, turned her head and instructed Zhao Xu to immediately go and find Xiao Chen.

Soon, Zhao Xu brought Xiao Chen over. Xiao Chen looked around at everyone and greeted Su Yanxi.

Upon seeing Xiao Chen, Shen Shi'an was the first to ask, "Xiao Chen, where is the document I asked you to translate?"

"In the meeting room," Xiao Chen replied. "There's a rather obscure word in the document, and I came to the secretariat to ask about it. But I ate something wrong and have a terrible stomachache, so I left the document in the document room for now."

"Did you see anyone in the reception room?"

After hearing what Xiao Chen said, Su Yanxi also asked a question.

"Yes." Xiao Chen nodded and pointed to Gu Yannian: "I met President Gu in the meeting room."

"Have you spoken to President Gu?"

"As I said, I told Mr. Shen that this document belongs to him and is very important, and asked Mr. Gu to take a look at it. I will come back to pick it up when I get back."

"You bullshit!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yannian immediately retorted, "You never said those words. You asked me to help you shred this document!"

"How could that be?" Xiao Chen shook his head: "If it's data that needs to be shredded, why wouldn't I take it and shred it myself?"

Gu Yannian hadn't expected Xiao Chen to distort the truth like this.

Isn't this blatantly trying to frame him?

Seeing that Gu Yannian remained silent, Shen Shi'an continued, "Gu Yannian, things have come to this point, what else do you have to say? You've really gone too far. Knowing that this information is very important to me, why did you still do this?"

“Yes, I admit I shredded the documents. But I still maintain that I didn’t know these documents were yours,” Gu Yannian said in a deep voice.

"So you mean Xiao Chen wronged you?"

"Whether he's been wronged or not, he knows it in his heart." Gu Yannian glanced at Xiao Chen, who looked away guiltily. "I'm just curious, since Xiao Chen came to the secretariat to ask questions, why did he hand over the documents to me for safekeeping? And how did he know I was in the meeting room? Secondly, how did President Shen happen to arrive just as I was shredding the documents?"

Gu Yannian asked the question to both Shen Shi'an and Xiao Chen, but only Xiao Chen answered.

"I needed to use the restroom urgently and was afraid of getting the documents dirty, so I thought of leaving them outside. But then I was afraid they would get lost, so I left them in the meeting room."

I didn't know Mr. Gu was in the meeting room; I only found out after I went in. I was worried that Mr. Shen might urgently need the documents, so I sent him a WeChat message.

After Xiao Chen finished speaking, Shen Shi'an continued, "Gu Yannian, what else do you have to say now?"

“His answer was so flawless, what else can I say? But didn’t he mention WeChat? Then take out your phone and let me see!” Gu Yannian held out her hand to Xiao Chen, gesturing for him to take out his phone.

Xiao Chen took two steps back and stammered, "WeChat, I deleted WeChat."

"Deleted?"

Gu Yannian withdrew her hand and sneered, "It's not confidential information, why delete it?"

"me……"

Xiao Chen, who had just been answering so confidently, was now stammering and unable to give a reason.

"Gu Yannian, you did something wrong, why are you still being so aggressive here?" Shen Shi'an couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward: "Xiao Chen has already said that he deleted WeChat. It's his habit, what's wrong with that?"

“Okay, nothing’s wrong. What about President Shen? Didn’t President Shen receive a WeChat message? Then President Shen, take out your phone and let me see.” Gu Yannian turned her attention to Shen Shi’an: “What, President Shen didn’t delete the message too, did he?”

Shen Shi'an pursed his lips and did not answer, his hands clenched into fists beside him.

Seeing this, Gu Yannian, who had just been relentlessly criticized by Shen Shi'an, pressed her advantage: "What, President Shen, you're speechless now? Weren't you so eloquent when you were criticizing me? Now you can't even prove your innocence?"

"Gu Yannian".

Shen Shi'an let out a long sigh and said, "I was thinking that even if you destroyed my data, as long as you apologized to me, this matter would be over."

But I didn't expect that not only would you not admit your mistake, but you would also try to pin this mud on me. All you've said is to tell everyone that Xiao Chen and I conspired to frame you, isn't it?

"Fine, you want to see WeChat? I'll let you. I'm going back to get my phone now! But I have to make this clear: if I find any WeChat messages from Xiao Chen on my phone, then I'll hold you accountable, and you'll pay the price!"

"Shen Shi'an, you don't need to threaten me. I, Gu Yannian, am not easily intimidated. If you have the guts, go get your phone. If you have that WeChat message, you can do whatever you want with me!"

"Alright, stop making a scene!"

Su Yanxi, who had been silent all along, stood up and stopped Gu Yannian and Shen Shi'an: "Let's leave it at that. No one should pursue this any further."

"why?"

Gu Yannian couldn't understand why Su Yanxi was stopping her when she could figure it out with just a glance at her phone.

Does Su Yanxi not trust Shen Shi'an, or does she not trust him at all?
