ep - 4

Secretary Jin hadn't expected Qin Xian to actually embarrass her on the spot, and her face turned green. She pressed her lips tightly together, her expression as aggrieved as could be. She gazed at Qin Xian with resentful eyes, as if he were a heartless man.

Tang Jun, even more enraged, rushed to defend the damsel in distress, "You're really going to be this ruthless? This is simply an insult to Secretary Jin's character!"

However, faced with Qin Xian's genuinely cold demeanor and icy gaze, Tang Jun's anger subsided quickly, and he said, "If nothing is found, you must apologize to Secretary Jin."

Though the others didn't speak up, their expressions showed their indignation.

This incident had already caught the attention of the entire company, and many from the leadership had arrived.

After all, high-level talent like Secretary Jin was very important.

They also thought Qin Xian had gone mad. Everyone in their circle knew that Qin Xian could do without Ji Fei, the Mrs. Qin who only caused trouble and had no value, but he absolutely couldn't do without Secretary Jin.

However, Ji Fei suspected they had gathered more or less to watch the drama unfold.

Just look at those gossipy little glances.

After all, one was Qin Xian's wife in name, and the other was Secretary Jin, who had managed to stay so close to the usually aloof Qin Xian for so long.

People had probably even placed bets on this battle.

Ji Fei, who usually only watched the drama, never expected to become part of it.

Really, the joke was on her!

Ji Fei could only glare at Qin Xian with resentful eyes.

While Qin Xian only provided his back, straight as a pine tree, for Ji Fei's resentful attacks.

Although his ears were nearly deafened by Ji Fei's constant muttering.

Was she always like this?

Soon, the investigation results came out.

Unsurprisingly, there was no evidence of wrongdoing.

Tang Jun immediately became smug, "Qin Xian, do you still want to cover for Ji Fei?"

Qin Xian felt the gaze on his back becoming fiery.

"Mr. Qin, now you must believe me, right?" Secretary Jin's eyes were brimming with tears, as if she might cry at any moment.

Qin Xian lowered his head to glance at his phone before looking up at Secretary Jin.

In an instant, his cold gaze gave Secretary Jin an inexplicable sense of foreboding.

Everyone thought the matter was settled, but they saw Qin Xian stop talking to Secretary Jin and turn directly to look at the large screen behind him.

Confused, they followed his gaze and saw that a surveillance video had suddenly appeared on the screen.

The moment the image appeared, many people recognized it as the entrance to Tang Jun's office, and the video showed Secretary Jin entering Tang Jun's office.

Everyone was puzzled. It felt like a sudden plot twist.

Among those present, only Secretary Jin's face changed dramatically, her body chilled, her pupils shaking.

Tang Jun pointed at the screen and shouted angrily, "Qin Xian, what are you up to? You're checking surveillance footage of Secretary Jin delivering documents?"

Qin Xian ignored him and just coldly watched the screen.

At this point, the cunning Director Tang's expression became peculiar when he saw the time on the surveillance footage.

When he saw his son leave the office alone, leaving Secretary Jin behind, his face turned ashen in an instant.

Soon after, Secretary Jin left, and Tang Jun returned happily with a fruit platter, but not seeing anyone, he lost his temper.

As everyone was still confused, the screen switched to a recording of computer operations.

Surprisingly, the computer desktop was filled with beautiful photos of Secretary Jin.

The crowd's gaze towards Tang Jun became strange, and Director Tang felt like he was about to cough up blood.

Tang Jun, embarrassed and angry, jumped up and shouted, "Qin Xian, you even sent someone to mess with my computer?!"

Indeed, a technician had cracked Tang Jun's computer password, attempting to recover all deleted email correspondence.

Tang Jun had just finished shouting when he felt Secretary Jin sway beside him.

Tang Jun immediately became concerned for the beauty, still not realizing the problem at hand.

Meanwhile, Director Tang's face could barely contain his fury.

Many people in the room seemed to realize a possibility, and the atmosphere instantly froze. It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop, as if you could hear different people's heartbeats.

Until the recovered emails containing confidential documents were displayed, with the sending time prominently enlarged on the screen.

When compared with the time in the surveillance footage, who couldn't see the truth?

Well, there was still someone!

Tang Jun stared at the screen for a moment, then immediately berated Qin Xian, "You must have gone crazy, actually fabricating such a video to slander and cover for Ji Fei..."

Before he could finish his tirade, his father slapped him on the back of the head.

Tang Jun fell forward, crashing to the ground.

"Dad!"

"Shut your mouth!" Director Tang said, then quickly turned to Qin Xian and the other leaders, saying, "As you can see, my son has nothing to do with this. He was used! He's just an idiot!"

At this point, he had no choice but to admit his son was a fool.

If he didn't distance himself, in case they suspected Tang Jun and Secretary Jin were working together, he wouldn't be able to explain it away no matter how hard he tried.

"Secretary Jin, how vicious your heart is! Using my son and framing Mrs. Qin! Mr. Qin, how has he wronged you that you would betray him like this!"

Director Tang wished he could dig up some gossip about love and hatred to divert everyone's attention.

At this moment, all eyes turned to Secretary Jin.

There was shock, disbelief, resentment, and fury.

Especially the CEO's Office Staff, who were all trembling with anger, their eyes red. They had just confidently vouched for Secretary Jin and accused Mrs. Qin.

Now they were so ashamed and angry that they wanted to dig a hole and bury themselves.

Given Mr. Qin's personality, he would surely fire them all. They had truly been ruined by Secretary Jin!

But now they didn't dare say a word, only trying to minimize their presence as much as possible.

At this point, Secretary Jin's face was completely drained of color, her breathing rapid, her whole body shaking.

She looked at Qin Xian in despair, still unwilling to give up without a struggle.

"Qin Xian, I didn't..."

"Agent Wei is your sister-in-law. You conspired with her to frame Ji Fei, didn't you?"

Qin Xian's words were like the final straw that broke the camel's back.

The whole room was in an uproar.

"How did you... Did you already..." Secretary Jin's spirit was completely crushed.

Everyone else also looked at Qin Xian in shock, as no one could have imagined things would turn out this way.

Ji Fei's brain had stopped working since the video first appeared.

It was one thing for her to see all the truth herself, but how could Qin Xian be so incredibly perceptive?

When her agent was mentioned, Ji Fei finally reacted.

[Could it be that Qin Xian already knew Agent Wei's identity, so he suspected Secretary Jin? But how did he think of Tang Jun?]

Director Tang was also deeply frustrated, wondering how the investigation had led to his son.

Qin Xian glanced at the dazed Ji Fei. He couldn't very well say in public that all the truth came from Ji Fei's inner thoughts.

"Let's set aside the matter of the agent for now. Once you became a suspect, it was natural to review all surveillance footage of your independent activities and investigate all electronic devices you might have accessed."

Secretary Jin hadn't deleted those surveillance videos that could become evidence, which was the flaw Ji Fei had mentioned.
