"Jinjiang Park?" Ling Han repeated the address that Qiao Mu gave him word by word, and his face was already shrouded in a layer of frost.
"You're saying that the information leak this time came from somewhere near my house?"
Qiao Mu lowered his head with a calm expression. "Director Ling, from the company's technology department's investigation, the initial location of the information leak has already been accurately pinpointed to your villa in Jinjiang Park, not just nearby. Also, there's something else that I think I need to remind you of."
"Speak."
"On the afternoon of the incident, when I sent Secretary Ye back, she made a lot of inquiries about the leak. I don't know how much you told her, but she kept asking about the company's plan to deal with it, so I think …"
"Pa."
A crisp breaking sound rang out in the air. A gel pen broke in Ling Han's right hand, and ink seeped out of the pen's plastic casing and soaked the white paper on the table.
Qiao Mu's expression stiffened, and he swallowed back the words he wanted to say.
Ling Han looked up at him and questioned, "You think that Ye Huanyan did this?"
"I … I'm just stating facts." Qiao Mu only felt suffocated under his intense gaze.
Ling Han's face was cold, and he revealed a displeased expression. "Qiao Mu, what do you think will benefit her from leaking the company's artists' information?"
Tiny beads of sweat seeped out of Qiao Mu's forehead, and he hesitantly said, "I … don't know."
His sharp eyes kept staring at him as if he wanted to see through his thoughts. After a while, the owner of those eyes suddenly changed the topic. "Is there any information about Su Nianhua in this information leak?"
"No." Qiao Mu was slightly taken aback. "The company's A-list and A-list artists are all in it, except for Su Nianhua."
"There's no information at all?"
"No."
The office returned to silence, and Ling Han's expression became increasingly gloomy and cold.
Qiao Mu stood to the side and did his best to maintain his composure. However, when Ling Han told him to leave, he turned around and slowly exhaled.
Ling Han wasn't a fool. If the target of this incident hadn't been Ye Huanyan, and if it hadn't been for the unclear relationship between Su Nianhua and Ye Huanyan, he would have exposed his intentions with his words just now.
Keeping Su Nianhua's information and letting Ling Han discover it himself was his last trump card.
On the way back to Jinjiang Court, Ling Han's face was very ugly, and the coldness in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest.
Qiao Mu escorted him to the entrance of the villa. After inquiring about how to deal with this matter, she did not dare to ask any more questions.
It was noon in June, and the moment they stepped out of the car, they were greeted by the scorching sun.
The sun shone on the black suit, which absorbed the heat with all its might. That figure disappeared from Qiao Mu's sight, but it still made his heart cold.
A trace of regret flashed through his eyes. He slowly rolled down the car window and anxiously shouted, "Director Ling."
Ling Han turned around and looked at him with a frown. "What's wrong?"
A ringtone rang in the car. It was her exclusive ringtone.
Qiao Mu's expression froze, and the words that were about to come out of his mouth changed. "I just wanted to say that since this matter is over, Director Ling shouldn't take it to heart."
Ling Han did not comment and turned to walk into the house.
Behind him was the sound of the car starting and driving away. Finally, it disappeared around the corner covered by trees and exited the west gate of Jinjiang Court.
Qiao Mu did not answer the phone until a long time after he left Jinjiang Court.
On the other end of the phone, the woman's voice sounded very anxious. "How is it? Does he believe you?"
A trace of sadness flashed through Qiao Mu's eyes. "He does."
"Then Ye Huanyan …"
Qiao Mu glanced at her phone's battery. "I'll go to Fujin Court in a bit. Let's talk when we meet."
After saying this, she hung up without waiting for Sheng Anran's response.
The moment he hung up the phone, his eyes were filled with a complicated expression, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings.
Ever since Ye Huanyan entered Pleasure and Pleasure, they were colleagues. Back then, when she was Ling Dongming's secretary, he was still the assistant of the branch company's manager, Ling Han. Not many people in the company knew of her identity. Because of his relationship with Ling Han, he knew about this, so he always kept a certain distance from her and was very reserved.
At that time, Ye Huanyan was very lively and called him 'Brother Qiao Mu' without the slightest air of a young lady. Perhaps it was because of Ling Han, but every time he went to the headquarters to do something, Ye Huanyan would always make things convenient for him.
At first, he thought that Ye Huanyan was only a rich missy who lived off her parents. Later on, when they worked together at the headquarters, he truly witnessed her outstanding work ability and adaptability.
He admired her. As an outsider who had always observed her relationship with Ling Han, his admiration for her was indescribable. A woman whose work ability was on par with his, who was smart and quick-witted, who had top-notch resistance to pressure, and who had several years less experience than him.
He didn't dare to think about what kind of slander this kind of woman would face under his calculations. He stomped hard on the accelerator, trying to numb his conscience with the stimulation of speed.
Ye Huanyan sat on a cushion next to the swimming pool in the backyard. Her feet were submerged in the pool water, and she occasionally stepped on it. She had a parasol over her head and a magazine in her hand, looking very content.
When she heard voices in the living room, she pulled out her feet and carelessly stomped on the carpet by the pool before running barefooted into the living room.
"You're back!"
Ling Han was handing the suit to Lingling when he heard this. He raised his head and coldly sized up the woman in front of him who was already very familiar to him.
Unexpectedly, she suddenly jogged a few steps and rushed into his arms. Her hands passed through his waist and the inside of his arms and hugged his back. His arms immediately warmed up. "Did you know that the baby moved again?"
The voice that came was very sweet and gentle, with heartfelt joy.
He was stunned for a few seconds, but in the end, he slowly put his hands around her shoulders and asked softly, "When?"
"Before you came back. I was sitting by the swimming pool, and he kept kicking me. The baby seems to be very sensitive to water. Come with me …"
As she spoke, she pulled Ling Han's hand and walked toward the swimming pool in the backyard.
In Fujin Court, a black SUV was parked in the garage. In the living room, Sheng Anran was holding two glasses of juice, one of which she handed to Qiao Mu.
"You said on the phone that Ling Han believed you. Then where is he now?"
"He dropped all his work and directly returned to Jinjiang Court."
Hearing this, Sheng Anran immediately sneered, "I don't believe that he can spare Ye Huanyan after such a thing happened this time."
"Don't you want to ask his attitude toward this incident?"
Qiao Mu looked up at Sheng Anran with a very complicated gaze that seemed to be pity and mockery. "He ordered the HR department to fire Secretary Dong and dismantle the Secretary's Office."
Sheng Anran frowned. She seemed to have thought of something, and her expression softened. "That was to give the people in the company an explanation. If Ye Huanyan was in the Secretary's Office, she would probably be the one to be fired. This was within my expectations."
Qiao Mu snickered. "Was it within your expectations that he told me to find a new servant for Jinjiang Court?"
