Chapter 321 Wu Jiezhen's Thoughts
Fu Sihan's gaze, sharp as a torch, fixed on Fu Mukai's back as he operated his computer. It seemed as if his gaze could penetrate the screen and plumb the depths of the data. Wu Jiezhen sat in a corner, feigning composure, her fingers unconsciously tugging at the hem of her clothes, their tips turning white from the strain. She knew that if the data was recovered, her actions would be exposed. Fear surged within her like a tide; if she were discovered, she would be finished.
At this time, Zhang Chendong was hiding in the sewer, not daring to come out. Special Assistant Chen and Zhang Yuan came to Fu Sihan, panting tiredly and saying, "President, that person seemed very familiar with our company. We suspect that someone on the inside was tipping off us. Otherwise, why would the power go out just when we were about to check the computer?"
Fu Sihan's eyes instantly became as sharp as an eagle's. He slowly stood up and scanned the conference room, finally landing on Wu Jiezhen. His eyes seemed to see through everything. Wu Jiezhen's heart tightened, and she subconsciously avoided Fu Sihan's gaze, her heart beating as if it was about to burst through her chest.
"An insider..." Fu Sihan murmured in a low and cold voice, "This matter is by no means simple, we must investigate it thoroughly. Special Assistant Chen, immediately retrieve all the company's surveillance footage, starting from one hour before the power outage, and review it frame by frame. Don't miss any details. Zhang Yuan, go check everyone's phone in the company and find this person. I want to see who dares to cause trouble under my nose."
After hearing Fu Sihan's order, Zhang Yuan didn't dare to delay for a moment. He immediately strode forward with a serious expression, approaching the crowd. His eyes revealed an unquestionable determination, and he said loudly, "Hand over your phones. We're just doing a routine check."
As soon as these words were spoken, the previously quiet room erupted in a commotion. Everyone looked at each other, confusion and dissatisfaction written all over their faces. Some frowned, a flicker of displeasure in their eyes; others whispered to each other.
"What kind of thing is this? Why are you checking our phones? Our phones contain our privacy. You are invading our privacy," Zhang Na couldn't help but complain in a low voice. There was a hint of anger on her face. She held the phone tightly with both hands, and seemed reluctant to hand it over.
"That's right, this is too much. We are not prisoners." Chen Anqi next to her echoed, her tone full of dissatisfaction and her eyes revealed resistance to this practice.
"Assistant Zhang, isn't it a bit inappropriate to check your phone? We can't do without our phones at work. It would be so inconvenient to suddenly take them away. We've been working diligently in the company, how could we possibly betray it?"
Zhang Yuan patiently explained, "Chen Anqi, we're not trying to pry into your privacy. We're just checking your communication records and messages before and after the power outage. If we find any clues, we'll return your phone to you immediately. If you're truly innocent, why worry about being checked?"
Seeing that everyone was still hesitant, Zhang Yuan continued, "We're all veterans of the company. We've worked together for so many years, and when the company thrives, we all benefit. But this time it was really strange. Just when we were about to find out who it was, the power went out. Someone must have tipped us off, and we were just conducting a routine inspection."
As everyone murmured, half-believing and half-doubting, Wu Jiezhen quietly retreated to the edge of the crowd, her heart pounding as if it would burst through her chest. Her hands trembled slightly at her side, and her eyes were filled with panic and anxiety. While everyone's attention was on Zhang Yuan, she pretended to casually reach into her pocket and pull out her phone.
Wu Jiezhen's fingers slid across the screen rapidly, her eyes darting nervously around, afraid to be noticed. She clicked on the chat windows with Zhang Chendong and Lin Youyou, looking at the conversations that could have sent her into the abyss. With trembling fingers, she pressed the delete key. With each deleted message, her heart tightened, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead and trickled down her cheeks.
"Wu Jiezhen, what are you doing?" a voice suddenly rang out. Wu Jiezhen's hands trembled with fear, and she almost dropped her phone. She looked up in panic and saw her colleague Xiao Li looking at her in confusion.
"No... nothing, let me check the time." Wu Jiezhen pretended to be calm, forced a smile, turned the phone screen downwards and hid it behind her.
Xiao Li raised an eyebrow, as if sensing something unusual, but didn't ask any further questions. He turned back to continue discussing the phone inspection with the person next to him. Wu Jiezhen breathed a sigh of relief, then quickly lowered her head and deleted the files faster, confirming that all sensitive information was gone before she put the phone back in her pocket.
By then, Zhang Yuan had collected everyone's phones and hurried off, clutching a stack, to a dedicated office for inspection. Wu Jiezhen watched him depart, feeling a mixture of relief at having escaped a disaster for now, yet also dreading the unknown future.
In the conference room, Fu Mukai remained raptly staring at the computer screen, his hands furiously tapping away at the keyboard, attempting to recover the data as quickly as possible. Fu Sihan stood nearby, his brow furrowed, his eyes filled with anxiety and anger. His gaze flickered around, as if trying to identify the hidden traitor in everyone present.
Wu Jiezhen returned to her seat and sat down, trying to calm her breathing. She pretended to be nonchalant as she watched Fu Mukai operate his computer. However, her heart was surging like a raging storm. She knew that even if she deleted the chat history, it wouldn't completely eliminate the hidden dangers. Zhang Chendong and Lin Youyou could be the final straw that broke her back at any moment.
Time passed, each second tormenting Wu Jiezhen. Horrible scenarios of being discovered kept popping up in her mind: losing her job, being ruined, facing legal sanctions... The more she thought about it, the more terrified she became. If Lin Youyou hadn't tricked her, how could she have sold out the company?
At the same time, Zhang Yuan was in the office checking the cell phones, carefully checking the communication records and messages of each cell phone. His eyes were focused and determined, not missing any suspicious details. After he checked most of the cell phones, he did not find any obvious clues, which made him feel a little frustrated.
At this moment, Wu Jiezhen's phone rang. Zhang Yuan answered the call and heard Zhang Chendong's voice. "Wu Jiezhen, I'm telling you, if you don't give me half a million, I'll tell you everything. I was hiding in the sewers, and you said you betrayed the company and caused a power outage. Now look what happened. They've chased me and I have nowhere to escape. You have to give me an explanation!"
Zhang Yuan was shocked. No wonder he couldn't find Wu Jiezhen. It turned out that someone was behind this. In order not to alert the enemy, he turned on the recording in advance and said, "Hello, I'm Wu Jiezhen's colleague. She just went to the bathroom. Why did you ask her for 500,000 yuan?
Zhang Chendong stopped pretending when he heard this and started cursing, "That woman seduced me at first and made me a laughing stock. I almost got divorced because I thought she wasn't with me for my money. But she actually sold out the company's evidence and threatened me that if I didn't do what she said, she would make public what happened between us."
