The ward instantly quietened down. There was a faint smell of disinfectant in the air, but it was like the fragrance of flowers, refreshing the mind.
The gazes of the man and woman intersected, creating ripples in the air.
After a long time, Lin Ruoxi furrowed her brows and said with resentment in her eyes, "Why did you talk about digging out my heart and slicing it? How disgusting. Can't you put it in a nicer way?"
Yang Cheng rubbed the back of his head and curled his lips. "You can just say 'nothing good comes out of a dog's mouth'. You might not be willing to listen to me even if I said something nice. Why don't you put it in a more provocative way?"
As he spoke, Yang Cheng passed the cup of water to Lin Ruoxi. "Rinse your mouth and drink some water. Your body has just recovered. Although it's fine now, it's better for you to rest."
Lin Ruoxi took the cup of water and slowly got off the bed. "There's still a lot of things to do in the company. I'll go back to work after tidying up. I'm fine now."
Yang Cheng let out a long sigh. "I knew you wouldn't listen to me obediently."
"I'm fine. You should turn on your phone and think of a way to solve Mingyu's matter." Lin Ruoxi looked at Yang Cheng with a faint smile before heading to the bathroom to wash up.
Although Yang Cheng felt a little heartache, he knew that Lin Ruoxi's body had recovered quickly after infusing his True Yuan into her body. It shouldn't be a problem for her to go back to work. Furthermore, Yu Lei was in a difficult position without her, so he didn't force it.
Turning on his phone, Yang Cheng immediately saw several missed calls from Mo Lin, Mo Qianni, Anxin, and Wu Yue.
Just when Yang Cheng was about to ask Mo Lin about the matter, he saw that Mo Qianni had called again.
After picking it up, Mo Qianni said worriedly, "You've finally turned on your phone. Yang Cheng, are you and Ruoxi in the hospital? How's Ruoxi? Is she in danger? "
Yang Cheng smiled and said, "Don't worry. She's fine now. I'll send her back to the company later. Why did you call me so many times? It's not just to ask about Ruoxi's health. "
Irritated, Mo Qianni replied, "I'm on the verge of collapsing. Initially, when this incident happened in the company, those reporters from the mainstream media came over to ask us to explain the current situation. No one knew who leaked the news just now, but the reporters all knew that the CEO, Ruoxi, had fallen ill! Even internal personnel like us were caught unprepared! The reporters surrounded our company in three layers, reporting all kinds of conspiracy theories. I was thinking that if Ruoxi was fine, she should come back as soon as possible. Otherwise, the whole company would be in chaos! Now that the employees know that the CEO is sick, they don't have a backbone. Once the stock market opens, there will be another wave of blows, and we will be completely finished! "
Yang Cheng snorted coldly. "They're really relentless, trying to kill us."
Mo Qianni seemed to have encountered some kind of emergency situation. After a flurry of reports, Mo Qianni didn't care too much. She said, "I'll go get busy first." Then, she hung up.
Yang Cheng smiled bitterly and shook his head. He then dialed Molin's number.
"Molin, how's the analysis going?" Yang Cheng asked.
Molin was a little embarrassed. "Your Majesty Pluto, I'm very sorry. Li Minghe's background is a little too complicated. It's hard to investigate it in a short time. I still need some time. However, we've already gotten the results of the two things you wanted to analyze. "
Yang Cheng frowned. "Complicated? Li Minghe is just a manager sent by Hong Kong's Muyun Corporation. At most, he's a distant relative of the Li family. Why does it take so long to investigate his information? "
"Actually …" Molin said in distress, "I thought so at first too. However, according to the information I've gathered, the name Li Minghe isn't his original name. It seems that he changed it after he came to Hong Kong to work. Also, Li Minghe doesn't seem to have any relationship with the Muyun Li family. They just share the same surname. This gave us some misdirection at the beginning. There are many strange things in his resume since he was young. Many of the contents have been tampered with. It will take a lot of effort to investigate it. It's hard to explain all of this now. I hope Your Majesty can give me more time. I promise to complete the task! "
Yang Cheng didn't expect so many problems to arise after investigating Li Minghe's background. However, this meant that the situation was much more complicated than he had imagined.
"What about the evidence I asked you to investigate? What's the result?" Yang Cheng asked again.
This time, Molin said confidently, "We've already obtained the report. There's indeed poison in that coffee! It's a type of 'tannic acid' that's similar to tea leaves. When this acid comes into contact with some animal protein extracts, such as canine protein components, it will produce a carcinogen that can damage the internal organs of the human body, especially the liver!
Coincidentally, this cup of coffee not only contains tannic acid, but also some special protein components that aren't found in coffee. It can be said that this cup of coffee was the fuse that completely triggered the poison!
However, this kind of poison needs to accumulate over a long period of time before it can have a strong effect when a chemical reaction occurs. Therefore, according to my speculation, the person who poisoned the coffee must have been very familiar with the coffee drinker's daily consumption and planned to add this kind of extract into the coffee. Although we can't be sure of the exact time of the onset of the illness, according to the specific calculation, the error is at most one week. "
Hearing this, deep murderous intent surfaced in the depths of Yang Cheng's eyes. Lin Ruoxi had actually been drinking coffee with chronic poison all this time?! Regardless of whether Li Minghe had done this behind Wu Yue's back, even if he had to kill Wu Yue on the spot this time, he couldn't let her continue being Lin Ruoxi's assistant.
"As for the thing you mentioned …" Molin continued, "As you said, it was indeed tampered with, but as evidence, it's still a little insufficient …"
When Molin was almost done, Lin Ruoxi also finished cleaning up and walked out of the bathroom. Seeing that Yang Cheng was on the phone, she asked softly, "Is there something urgent?"
Yang Cheng had just finished the call and hung up the phone. He smiled and said, "The company urgently needs you back. The reporters are blocking the door. Let's go. "
A trace of worry flashed across Lin Ruoxi's face as she nodded.
After leaving the hospital, on the way back to Yu Lei International, Yang Cheng called Anxin again. Anxin was only worried about whether something had gone wrong. After confirming that everything was fine, she didn't say much.
Lin Ruoxi sat in the front passenger seat and quietly thought for a while. Then she turned her head and asked, "Have you found out who the thief was? Who stole the documents from Mingyu?"
Yang Cheng held the steering wheel with one hand and shook his finger at Lin Ruoxi with the other. He smiled evilly and said, "This criminal is very cunning. We were all tricked from the beginning."
"What do you mean?" Lin Ruoxi was a little confused.
Yang Cheng let out a breath and said, "That thief didn't steal anything from Mingyu at all. All the information was obtained by him."
Lin Ruoxi's eyes were full of surprise. She obviously didn't know what Yang Cheng was talking about.
Yang Cheng explained carefully, "From the beginning, we had our eyes on the safe in Mingyu's office. That's because there were only two copies of the documents. As the CEO, of course you didn't have the chance to leak it. So, everyone thought that it was Mingyu who leaked it, or that someone found a way to get the documents from Mingyu.
So, our direction of thinking was who had the chance to get the documents from Mingyu, and who had the means to steal the password. We even suspected that there was a high-tech pinhole camera installed in Mingyu's office to secretly watch Mingyu open the safe … "
Lin Ruoxi asked in return, "Isn't that the case? If it wasn't Mingyu, then it was even more impossible for it to be in my office. Other than Wu Yue, there was almost no one who could enter my office. Also, the area near the safe in my office was completely empty, so there was no way to install a camera."
Yang Cheng smiled and said, "Let me finish. Speaking of which, I was the one who fell into the trap … The opponent was very prepared. He probably knew about me beforehand, or rather, he did a lot of things to confuse us.
That guy, in the past two to three months, has been going to Mingyu's office from time to time. He's very diligent, as if he doesn't have a destination. His actions not only made people like me, who only occasionally go to Mingyu's office, see it, but it also made people in the company curious about his relationship with Mingyu, and they started discussing it.
Don't tell me that you don't know who that guy is. You must have suspected that he found a chance to steal the documents from Mingyu, so you asked me to investigate, right? "
Lin Ruoxi didn't deny it. She nodded and said, "You're talking about Li Minghe, right? I do know that he has been going to Mingyu's office for no reason recently, and the news has spread throughout the company. I believe many people in the company have the same guess, but there is no evidence to prove that he stole the documents. This is also why no one mentioned Li Minghe during the meeting. No one has any evidence. "
"Of course there is no evidence." Yang Cheng smiled and shook his head. "I even went to watch the surveillance footage and calculated the possibility of him opening the safe, as well as how he could steal such a pile of documents without anyone seeing it … Now that I think about it, I laugh my head off. This is just a calculation that comes out of nowhere, because he never intended to steal the documents from Mingyu in the first place. There is only one reason for him to do so — to attract our attention and make us think that he did it from Mingyu's office."
Lin Ruoxi wasn't stupid. She reacted quickly and said, "You're saying that this was all a cover up to mislead us? Then how did he steal it? "
