Chapter 468 The Root Cause
They go… to the Editorial Office?
Can they have found out her secret?
Leng Weiwei has hung up the phone. Wan Liqing feels a chill go up from her toe to her head. Leng Weiwei tells her to go there while Zhang Hai is there, too. Will she be arrested?
At this time, should she run away as far as possible?
However, if they really want to arrest her, why don’t they come directly to her?
Wan Liqing takes a deep breath and tries to comfort herself. If she had been proved to be guilty, she wouldn’t have been sitting here now.
If she runs away at this time, it will only be more suspicious.
Thinking about this, Wan Liqing fixes her clothes and goes to the Editorial Office.
When she gets to the Editorial Office, Wan Liqing feels shocked in surprise!
Inside the large Editorial Office, all the computers are on!
Isn’t there a virus on the computers? Didn’t they shut off the electricity and network connections? Why are computers still on?
Leng Weiwei sees her and waves her hand at her from far away.
Wan Liqing goes there. Zheng Hai is sitting beside Leng Weiwei with an instrument in his hand. He is typing some instructions on the computer.
When Wan Liqing notices the seat Zhang Hai is on, she feels frozen at once!
Leng Weiwei glimpses the uneasiness of Wan Liqing. She asks, “Director Wan, what’s wrong? Don’t you feel well?”
Wan Liqing feels her heart almost jump out. The computer in front of Zhang Hai is the one which she got rid of.
“No. I am worried that the data on my computer may be deleted. Seriously, I am worried about that…” Wan Liqing says. She gives a long sigh.
Leng Weiwei turns to look at Zhang Hai. She winks quickly at Zhang Hai. Zhang Hai says, “Director Wan, don’t worry. Other people may feel helpless. However, it is nothing to me. I can one-hundred percent guarantee that after the virus in the computer is deleted, all the information in it will remain totally safe!”
Zhang Hai’s words are just like a hammer which gives a strong hit at Wan Liqing’s heart.
Wan Liqing reluctantly puts on a smile. She says, “That’s good. Thank you.”
“You are welcome. It is my pleasure.”
Wan Liqing twitches her lips. She tentatively asks, “Chief Editor Leng, I heard that the virus in the computer was found just a few minutes ago. Zhang Hai came here so soon. Did you know the virus in advance?”
Leng Weiwei shakes her head, “No. I asked the military department for Zhang Hai to help deal with some things. We got to the company and happened to learn this problem. It is lucky that we are here in time. Or, it may cause some problems.”
“Help deal with some things…about World Era Weekly?”
Leng Weiwei purses her lips, “Yes. There are some problems in the report of Tang Qieying’s exclusive interview. World Era Weekly can’t deny the responsibility for it. Zhang Hai is here to investigate the case.”
Hearing this, Wan Liqing turns pale. She feels herself float in the air as if she is going to fly up to the sky.
“Chief Editor, it was done by Xia Ning, wasn’t it? Why did he investigate in World Era Weekly?”
Leng Weiwei mysteriously looks around. She goes closer to Wan Liqing and says by her ear, “It is said that it might not be done by Xia Ning. The administration requires a reinvestigation and asks the army for assistance.”
Wan Liqing freezes her eyes. What does the word Reinvestigation imply?
It means that the administration has found that someone else did something to the QR code!
It is bad!
Wan Liqing rolls her eyes. She responds at once, “Chief Editor, the fewer people know it, the better. Or, we may alert the snake because of beating the grasses. When they are alert, it will become difficult for us to catch them.”
“Thank you for your reminding.” Leng Weiwei smiles, “Director Wan, you are a senior in World Era Weekly. Now, you are my partner, too. I should have discussed this with you. However, I was afraid that the malicious people might notice that and make it tough for us to deal with. Therefore, I talked with Commander Yi firstly and asked Zhang Hai to help us.”
Wan Liqing nods as if she finally understands. She asks, “Then, what is Zhang Hai going to do today?”
“He comes here today to download the operation instructions from all the computers in the Editorial Office to check whether any abnormal operations were taken on the computers during the days when the case happened.”
Wan Liqing feels her heart tightened. She sweats on her forehead.
“Do you mean that all the operation instructions are downloaded? Chief Editor, there are many confidential documents on the computers. Well…”
“Don’t worry. As to this concern, I have got the approval from the administration and signed an agreement with the military department. It is OK. Don’t worry.” Leng Weiwei says and holds out her hand to pat Wan Liqing’s shoulder.
They have signed an agreement…Leng Weiwei’s smile is frozen on her face.
Are they going to take all the operation instructions away today?
Wan Liqing swallows her saliva. She turns to look at Zhang Hai. If Zhang Hai takes all the data away today, they will find out something was done to the report of the exclusive interview very soon!
Wan Liqing feels her brain in a mess. She feels so worried that it even becomes a little difficult for her to breathe. If they figure it out, she will be put in jail!
She will be totally done!
“Director Wan? Director Wan!” Leng Weiwei calls her several times. When she finds no reactions from Wan Liqing, Leng Weiwei slightly lifts her lips, but only for a very little while. She holds out her hand to pat Wan Liqing forcefully.
“Ah!” Suddenly, Wan Liqing cries in panic. In an instant, everyone in the Editorial Office turns to look at her.
Wan Liqing realizes the confusion from everyone. She collects herself. Leng Weiwei asks, “Director Wan, are you OK? Didn’t you hear I call you just now?”
“Oh…” Wan Liqing quickly fixes her hair and responds with an excuse, “I was looking at Zhang Hai and lost myself. Ha. Ha. If only I am as skillful as he is. I liked the computer when I was young.”
At this time, Zhang Hai turns to them, “If Ms. Wan wants to learn, you can find some time and I can teach you.”
Hearing this, Leng Weiwei twitches her eyebrows.
At the moment, someone comes fast to them. A clear bang is heard and a cup of hot coffee is put on the desk in front of Zhang Hai.
“Wow!” In an instant, Zhang Hai jumps up. The coffee splashes on him. The coffee is very hot. Zhang Hai shouts, “Shu, what are you doing? Do you want to murder your husband?”
Hearing the words Murder Your Husband, Jing Shu lifts her eyebrows. She responds in a cold voice, “Excuse me. Commander, I don’t even have a boyfriend yet! Please show some respect!”
“You dare ask me to show some respect! The coffee is hot enough to kill me!” What is more annoying, the coffee splashes onto his uniform. It is hard to clean!
Jing Shu smiles dismissively, “Army men are all as strong as steel physically and psychologically, aren’t they? Do you cry because of being scalded by hot coffee?”
“Zhang Hai stares at Jing Shu. He twitches his lips when hearing her ridicule. He is just going to respond when he suddenly glimpses that all the people in the office are looking at them. He swallows his words. He points at Jing Shu with his hand, “Well. A real man doesn’t fight against women. There are many people here. I won’t argue with you.”
“Commander, do you mean you are going to argue with me when there are fewer people?”
“You!” Zhang Hai widens his eyes, wondering why Jing Shu suddenly becomes irrational while she usually is so obedient and smart.
“What?” Jing Shu snorts, “Bitches are pretentious!”
Jing Shu finishes her words and turns around to leave, stamping heavily on the ground.
Zhang Hai feels shocked in confusion.
What did she say? Bitch?
Leng Weiwei comes to him with a seemingly smile, “Zhang, may I ask you a personal question?”
Zhang Hai blinks his eyes, “Yes?”
“Do you have a girlfriend?”
Not expecting Leng Weiwei will ask about this, Zhang Hai feels surprised.
If he honestly says no, that is very embarrassing. If he says yes, he feels a little unsure.
Leng Weiwei notices that Zhang Hai feels embarrassed. She pats on his shoulder, “Well. I see. You may go on working. I should not disturb you.”
Then, Leng Weiwei goes to Wan Liqing.
Zhang Hai strokes his head. Does she see? What does she see? He didn’t respond at all!
“Chief Editor Leng, what are we expected to do to cooperate in the investigation?”
Leng Weiwei hears Wan Liqing’s question. She shrugs her shoulders, “The army will have their arrangements. We may just follow their orders. I am not sure what we are expected to do exactly.”
“Oh…” Wan Liqing responds. She thinks about solutions at once in her head, “Chief Editor Leng, I am going to make some coffee. Do you want to have some?”
Leng Weiwei thinks for a while and says, “Yes. Please.”
Wan Liqing walks out of the Editorial Office. Leng Weiwei looks at her back. The smiles on her face disappear in an instant. Something is confirmed. The root of the problem lies in the Editorial Office, right here!
It is in the military compound.
“Sweetheart, what are you doing?”
The cry scares Xia Ning and she almost throws the desk lamp in her hand. She feels a wind come to her and suddenly, the desk lamp in her hand is taken away.
Xia Ning feels shocked. She turns to look at her worried husband. Then, she feels amused, “I carelessly poured some milk here just now. I am cleaning the desk. Look, it spurts to the desk lamp.”
Xia Ning says and holds out her hand to take the desk lamp again.
Yi Yunrui takes a step backward. He puts the desk lamp on another side. He holds his wife’s hand and gets her to sit on the bed, “You sit here. I will do the cleaning.”
Then, Yi Yunrui turns around and leaves the bedroom. When he comes back, he takes a dust cloth with him.
“Darling…” Xia Ning says in a sweet voice, “Isn’t it just a desk…”
“You leave all the housework to me. You are pregnant. You have to be careful. OK?”
“But, Darling, I am very careful. I am so careful that I only walk around the house or type on the keyboard. Didn’t the doctor say that proper exercises were necessary? I can manage easy labor like this.”
“Walk around and type on the keyboard are proper exercises. Excepts for that, you are not allowed to do anything. No labor. You can ask your husband to do things such as cleaning a desk or moving a desk lamp.”
Xia Ning rolls her eyes. She feels really helpless about Yi Yunrui’s over protecting and over-cautious.
Other people may criticize her for being ungrateful to the given happiness. The great commander of the military region becomes a househusband. That is really something far beneath him.
She feels really sorry when she sees Yi Yunrui busy with everything in the house for her.
She wonders whether she can figure out a way to stop her husband from doing so much.
Xia Ning bites her hand. Suddenly, an idea pops up in her brain. Her eyes brighten!
