Chapter 409: Chapter 285: Evidence

Tang Xi glanced at Lin Ke, who had suddenly fallen silent, and didn’t need to look up to know why.

Fu Tingzhou may have asked her to be his assistant, but chatting for a moment with Shangguan Nanxian’s assistant was not allowed; this man was really hard to serve.

She began to stand here like a door god.

Waiting until an hour later when the meeting dispersed.

Only after Fu Tingzhou and Tang Xi left the conference room did Lin Ke heave a sigh of relief and raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

Drinking a sip of coffee, Shangguan Nanxian said, "Is that necessary?"

Lin Ke replied, "With President Fu’s gaze, if I had continued speaking to Miss Tang Xi for a few more sentences, his stare alone could have killed me."

Shangguan Nanxian also noticed that Fu Tingzhou was indifferent to almost everything; he showed little excitement for multi-billion-dollar deals, but he was very attentive to the little things concerning Tang Xi.

He was growing more frightened by the thought of it, thankful that he hadn’t offended Tang Xi in the past.

"About what Ms. Shen mentioned before, wanting Tang Xi to join her team, do we still need to tell Tang Xi?" Lin Ke asked. Tang Xi had been missing for the past few days, which put the matter on hold. They had only met today, and before Lin Ke could speak out, he received a cold and warning stare from Fu Tingzhou.

Previously, Shen Qinglin had mentioned that no matter the result of the jewelry design competition, she hoped Tang Xi would join her design team.

After pondering for a moment, Shangguan Nanxian said, "What do you think?"

"Miss Tang Xi is now Fu Tingzhou’s assistant, and it seems that he won’t let her go to work for other companies. Moreover, our jewelry competition is preparing to restart, and it’s likely that Miss Tang Xi won’t participate now... Ms. Shen has already returned to the mainland, and as for whether she can attend the relaunch of the competition, that’s another matter. It’s feared that she won’t be concerned with the affairs here anymore..."

Speaking of this, Shangguan Nanxian was troubled.

She had prepared for so long, invested so much.

And the competition was halted unexpectedly.

Her hard work had gone down the drain.

And Shen Qinglin, whose time was precious, had already left.

Restarting the jewelry competition now lacked allure.

Shangguan Nanxian once again sent an apologetic invitation to Shen Qinglin’s team, and her assistant said Shen Qinglin had an asthma attack these past few days and was resting.

Shen Qinglin had indeed suggested hoping for Tang Xi to join her team, but now, it seemed it would come to nothing.

Shangguan Nanxian said, "Let’s put this matter on hold for the time being, don’t tell Tang Xi yet. After all... we cannot be certain of Ms. Shen’s attitude. Telling Tang Xi would give her false hope. Furthermore, she is Fu Tingzhou’s ex-wife and her relationship with Fu Tingzhou is definitely more than just an ordinary assistant relationship now. A mere position in Shen Qinglin’s team, Fu Tingzhou might not even care for it."

"How did you deal with the matter concerning Chen Jiuyue that I asked you to handle?"

"The PR department has already suppressed it. Chen Jiuyue has been making a fuss these past few days, looking for minor media outlets to leak stories. But I’ve made some calls, and those leaks won’t appear online. Chen Jiuyue came to me, agreeing to our demands for compensation."

Narrowing her beautiful eyes, Shangguan Nanxian let out a cold snort, "Now she agrees, it’s too late."

She had once given her an opportunity, but since she missed it, let it be missed completely.

In the evening, Shangguan Nanxian walked into the underground parking garage, and as Lin Ke opened the car door and she was about to get in, suddenly a pleading female voice came from the side. Then, Chen Jiuyue rushed over and knelt on the ground, grabbing onto Shangguan Nanxian’s trouser leg, "President Shangguan, President Shangguan, please give me another chance, you can’t be so ruthless, I can’t lose my job in this industry, please, I beg you, it’s my fault, I admit it, I’ll tell you who instructed me to leak the stories."

Shangguan Nanxian frowned, not expecting this woman to squat in the underground parking garage waiting for her.

Although she was a woman, she managed the Shangguan Group and had some methods at her disposal.

Indeed, Chen Jiuyue was someone she really wanted to teach a lesson to, as it would be too embarrassing for her to sit in the position of heir to the Shangguan Group on Beidao if any ordinary person could extort and threaten her with impunity.

She glanced at Lin Ke.

Lin Ke stopped Chen Jiuyue, "Chen Jiuyue, just tell us who’s behind this, and President Nan can let you off easy."

Chen Jiuyue licked her lips, "Um, could we... go back to the original price we talked about?"

million, she was not willing to let it go just like that.

Where could she have imagined that Shangguan Nanxian would be so tough, nor could she have imagined that the person behind this had abandoned her. She really lost a lot, it would have been better if she had accepted the 5 million compensation from Shangguan Nanxian in the beginning.

Shangguan Nanxian closed the car door, and the driver drove away.

The matter was entirely left for Lin Ke to handle.

Lin Ke snorted coldly, "Chen Jiuyue, now is not the time for you to negotiate terms, this is your last chance, will you speak or not?"

"I’ll talk, I’ll talk, I’ll tell you everything I know," Chen Jiuyue hurriedly said, "This is his number, I made a call to him the day before yesterday, pleading for her help. But she said she couldn’t help, and wouldn’t give me the money she promised. I wasn’t raped; it was all fake, a play we concocted together aiming to slander the Shangguan Group."

Lin Ke gave a bodyguard a look, and the bodyguard immediately brought Chen Jiuyue with him, and the three of them went to the workshop.

Inside the workshop, he dialed this number, calling three times in a row, the other side didn’t pick up, Lin Ke composed a text message, "I’ve suddenly thought of a great way to threaten Shangguan Nanxian, surely she will fall into the trap, this will completely ruin her, accept my call."

Not long after sending out this message, Lin Ke dialed this number again and turned on the speakerphone.

On the other end, the call was connected.

"Speak quickly if you have anything to say, you’d better have a real solution!"

Is this? Gao Youhan’s voice!

Lin Ke’s eyes shifted.

He never expected that it was actually the Gao Family doing this.

He signaled Chen Jiuyue to speak.

Trembling, Chen Jiuyue followed Lin Ke’s instructions, "I know a very good hacker, he can hack into major platforms. I heard that the Shangguan Group is preparing to restart the jewelry contest, we can hack into their system during the restart and broadcast my fake rape video on the LED big screen. With all the media broadcasting live, the Shangguan Group’s second jewelry contest will fail, and Shangguan Nanxian will lose face in Beidao..."

"Interesting!! Your plan is good!!" On the other end, Gao Youhan got excited, "Good, very good, immediately give me the hacker’s contact information, I will contact him personally. After the job is done, I won’t shortchange you a penny of what I promised!"

Chen Jiuyue looked at Lin Ke with frightened eyes and quickly said, "Miss, it’s not that I don’t trust you, but you have stood me up once before, this time, could you pay a little deposit first?"

Lin Ke glared at her, but Chen Jiuyue’s greedy heart could not be subdued, and Lin Ke did not stop her, after all, human nature being what it is, since she helped to expose the person behind the scenes, she can profit however she wants, he would not interfere.

And if their financial transactions could be proven, it is also a kind of direct evidence.

Gao Youhan clenched her teeth, "What do you want to do?"
