The man’s already cold facial features were terrifyingly cold. Right now, his eyes were gloomy and it was even more spine-chilling terrifying.

Lin Xiu trembled, and she tried to think…

Her mind went blank. She opened and closed her mouth, trying to think of the right words to say. It took her a long while to say,  “I…I, I don’t know, I didn’t take it, it really wasn’t me.”

Lou Wei ignored her and lowered his head to check on his phone. When he found that the phone was turned off, the aura surrounding him finally dropped to freezing point. 

He was really furious when he discovered that Lin Xiu stole his phone. But the moment he saw Wen Fan hugging his knees in despair, curling his body in a corner when the phone turned on, the anger in his heart had reached its peak. 

Wen Fan no longer held on to the hope that he would be found, he never expected that Lou Wei would find him again!

When he saw Lou Wei’s face, he thought he was hallucinating. The world in the phone that was completely black had lit up once again because of Lou Wei’s appearance.

He slowly stood up and looked at Lou Wei. When he managed to react, he immediately leaned on the giant glass in front of him and shook the big ears on his head, rubbing his hand on the phone screen. He wished he could rub himself against Lou Wei’s palm now. Lou Wei reached out his hand to touch the tiny man’s head on the screen. But because Lin Xiu was there, he couldn’t expose Wen Fan’s overly human nature. So, he only comforted Wen Fan with his actions silently. His cold aura immediately disappeared, and a worried look appeared in his eyes.

When he lifted his gaze to look at Lin Xiu again, his eyes were already filled with coldness, “Who sent you here?”

Lin Xiu is not a person who specializes in stealing things, she was already jumped out of her skin by Lou Wei. Her calves are shaking and she stammered for a long while before spitting out the words, “Si… Si Yu.”

As soon as Lin Xiu muttered the words, the elevator door slowly opened. Lin Xiao stood behind the door and he was about to ride the elevator upstairs to call Lou Wei for a meeting. He saw Lin Xiu’s panic-stricken face and then looked at his boss who wore an icy cold face. He furrowed his brows as he sensed something wrong, “What’s wrong? What happened?” 

After all, Lin Xiao was Lin Xiu’s cousin, she grasped at the last glimmer of hope, “Ge, I was wrong, I was wrong. I really knew I did wrong this time. I took a wrong step. I swear I will never do this again!” She tugged Lin Xiao’s sleeve and turned around in fear to look at Lou Wei who was watching her crying with his cold eyes. Her shoulders trembled as she said,
Ge, please help me to persuade President Lou.”

Lin Xiao looked at Lin Xiu, then looked back at Lou Wei.  After thinking for a while, he raised his shoulder and withdrew his arm.  

Having known Lou Wei for more than five years, Lou Wei usually doesn’t get angry at all. It is even rarer to see him looking so cold like today.

Moreover, he didn’t have any special feelings for Lin Xiu. After all, the two of them hadn’t seen each other very often since childhood. If it wasn’t because his father accidentally revealed his workplace and salary, Lin Xiu wouldn’t have come to him so suddenly.

“Explain to me what had happened.”  Lin Xiao raised his voice and said.

Of course, there is no way that Lin Xiu could tell him. Her pale face flushed suddenly, and the shame and panic emotions were written on her face.

The employees around them noticed the situation here. Lou Wei wasn’t thinking of giving any face to Lin Xiu, but he didn’t want to embarrass Lin Xiao. After all, he, Lin Xiao and Lin Xiao and Zhao Mengke have been working hard to start this business for so many years. And of course, he would never doubt Lin Xiao. So, Lou Wei turned his head to Lin Xiao and asked him to hold on to Lin Xiu as they got back inside the elevator to his office. 

He then said,  “She took my personal mobile phone and intended to give it to Si Yu.”

Lin Xiao’s originally blank expression instantly changed. He stared at Lin Xiu in disbelief, and immediately put a distance between them. For a period of time, Zhao Mengke had been dragging him out for drinks almost every day after Si Yu tricked them with the game plug-in. Even if Lin Xiu had just joined the company, she should have heard from the others about the relationship of Gao Qing with Yuancheng Technology now. How is it possible that she is not aware that she had to stay away from Gao Qing? And now she even did this?

Then, there is only one possibility.

Lin Xiao stared at Lin Xiu, “You were sent by Si Yu from the very beginning.” This sentence was not a question, because the answer was clear.

Lou Wei was still thinking about Wen Fan, and he was too lazy to bother with how to deal with Lin Xiu. He turned his head to look at Lin Xiao.

Although he was angry at Lin Xiu for wanting to take Wen Fan away, and he was afraid that Wen Fan might disappear, Lin Xiu was Lin Xiao’s younger sister after all. If Lin Xiao was to beg for mercy on her behalf, he could treat it as if it never happened.

However,  Lin Xiao was more determined than he thought.

“Just follow the normal procedure.” Lin Xiao said, “We’ll do it according to the confidentiality agreement that she signed when she accepted the job offer.”

In order to protect the company’s intellectual property, Yuancheng Technology would sign a confidentiality agreement with the employees when they offer them their employment contracts. From a legal perspective, if the company does not sign a confidentiality agreement with their employees, even if the employees disclosed the top secret of the company, the employees did not commit a crime. But it is different once they sign the confidentiality agreement. The company could make an appeal in the courtroom based on the agreements.

————

If Lin Xiao only intended to fire Lin Xiu, even if this matter was revealed, Si Yu would be fine as Lin Xiu was not interrogated. But Lin Xiao intended to follow the protocol of the confidentiality agreement. This implied that he intended to bring this to the courtroom and do this in accordance with the law.

Wen Fan leaned against Lou Wei’s phone screen, looking at Lin Xiu who wore a mixed expression of sadness, anger, and embarrassment.
