One Word Changed, Characters in Chaos

Chapter 93: Chapter 70 Argument

Ye Xiao raised an eyebrow, “What’s inside here is most likely the core secrets of the Liu Family. Considering how closely you’ve been interacting with the high-level executives and deputy managers of the Liu Family, this must contain some good stuff.”

La Jingzhou’s complexion immediately darkened.

He couldn’t help but glance at Bai Shilan angrily.

Bai Shilan!

This woman, she even told Ye Xiao about this kind of thing.

She really wants to put herself in a deadly situation!

Little did he know.

Bai Shilan herself was completely clueless at the moment.

This USB drive… wasn’t it locked in the safe in La Jingzhou’s study?

How did it suddenly appear in her bag?

Moreover, she hadn’t told Ye Xiao about these things, how did she know?

Bai Shilan felt a bit dazed for a moment.

Ye Xiao said loudly, “Shilan, don’t be afraid of him, I am here! La Jingzhou has long been plotting against the Liu Family’s assets. The evidence you have in your hands is enough to get La Jingzhou locked up!”

Bai Shilan’s complexion changed.

She looked towards La Jingzhou.

La Jingzhou’s expression was uglier than ever before.

Bai Shilan suddenly realized.

The omnipotent La Jingzhou in her heart was truly in crisis at this moment.

If the contents of this USB drive were made public, his plot against the Liu Family would be confirmed.

The one facing prison wouldn’t be her, but La Jingzhou!

Bai Shilan’s expression changed slightly.

She had always been crying out in hatred against La Jingzhou, wanting to escape from him.

But when La Jingzhou truly fell into trouble, she didn’t know why, but she actually felt heartache!

Ye Xiao raised an eyebrow and continued, “Shilan, you can’t go soft now! You finally managed to steal this USB drive, if you give up now, you will really lose everything.”

La Jingzhou clenched his teeth and glanced at Bai Shilan.

Stealing the USB drive!

Indeed. Bai Shilan had been plotting meticulously, eager to doom him long ago!

La Jingzhou felt as if his heart was being simultaneously slashed by countless knives.

Apart from status.

He had given her everything else he could.

Now. Bai Shilan, single-minded, wanted to drag him through the mud.

Where had he wronged her.

“Oh? It’s my Liu Family’s secrets?”

La Jingzhou’s heart hadn’t even finished aching when the light voice of Liu Yan sounded beside him.

La Jingzhou instantly snapped back to reality.

Now was not the time for heartache!

If this matter wasn’t handled properly, the problem would be much more serious than being caught supporting a canary.

“Xiaoyan, haven’t you always trusted me the most? This USB drive isn’t real. It’s all nonsense from Ye Xiao,” La Jingzhou said, looking at Liu Yan with a hopeful face.

He believed.

Liu Yan would trust him completely, as she always had.

Liu Yan gave La Jingzhou a sweet smile, “Of course, I trust you the most.”

La Jingzhou let out a sigh of relief.

The next moment, Liu Yan said, “Nowadays, people are getting better at spreading rumors. First, they said you had an improper relationship with Bai Shilan, now they’re claiming you stole the Liu Family’s secrets. Isn’t this a deliberate attempt to smear you? I can tolerate it if you can, Jingzhou, but I can’t. I’ve decided.”

Liu Yan looked as if she had reached a final decision.

Everyone couldn’t help but turn their gaze towards her.

This young miss of the Liu Family was famously known for being lovesick.

Regarding the matter between La Jingzhou and Bai Shilan. The whole world knew what was going on, yet only she, stubbornly trusting La Jingzhou, believed that their relationship was purely professional.

Today’s incident was clear to any discerning eye.

But Liu Yan has never been one to see things clearly.

Liu Yan smiled radiantly and said, “Let’s call the police. By slandering us, Jingzhou, you seem to disregard the law! Once the police arrive and conduct a thorough investigation, Jingzhou will be vindicated!”

As Liu Yan spoke, she immediately took out her phone to make the call.

La Jingzhou: “???”

He was completely panicked.

If the police didn’t come, there might still be a chance to turn things around, but once they arrived, his and Bai Shilan’s affair wasn’t really a problem; such matters weren’t illegal.

But the theft of the Liu Family’s secrets…

“Xiaoyan, I think…” La Jingzhou tried to intervene.

But Liu Yan had already dialed the number.

“I want to report a crime! Someone is spreading rumors and framing my fiancé!” Liu Yan spoke righteously, and after a thorough tirade, she gave the Ye Family’s address to the police, asking them to come as soon as possible.

La Jingzhou’s face turned pale, and with the last bit of strength, he said, “Xiaoyan, there’s no need to make such a fuss, we should still…”

“Oh, Jingzhou!” Liu Yan looked at him with pity, “Look at you, always so gentle, always thinking of others. Do you know how much that makes me worry? This time, just listen to me, the rumor-monger must pay the price. We’ll hand this USB drive directly to the police, let them see how they’ve framed you! How could you possibly steal secrets from my Liu Family? Really now!”

La Jingzhou’s lips trembled slightly.

He really wasn’t sure for a moment.

Was Liu Yan his true fan, or his anti?

Could it be, to be fanned too deeply turns one dark?

Ye Xiao, upon hearing Liu Yan’s all-out defense, felt indignant. She couldn’t help but retort, “You’re talking nonsense! Your La Jingzhou is not gentle or kind at all. It’s Shilan who is too kind and too gentle, and that’s why she’s been bullied by you.”

Unconvinced, Liu Yan shot back, “Your Bai Shilan is just a two-faced, shameless wretch.”

Ye Xiao retorted, “Your La Jingzhou is nothing but a despicable, shameless, and scheming rogue.”

Liu Yan scoffed, “Your Bai Shilan is the one so shameless she’s unmatched in the world.”

Ye Xiao expressed, who can’t scoff?

“Hmph, your La Jingzhou is the one who’s sinister, crafty, and underhanded!”

The two of them hurled insults back and forth.

They were enjoying the argument, but neither of them took any casualties.

La Jingzhou and Bai Shilan, on the other hand, both looked downright gloomy.

Why are they the ones hurt by your argument?

Ye Xiao and Liu Yan happily continued their quarrel.

Ye Bolin looked at them with some amusement before turning to the others and said, “Sorry, the hospitality at tonight’s banquet was somewhat lacking. There are some matters here that need to be dealt with, so I’m afraid the dinner will have to end early.”

Ye Bolin was indicating it was time for the guests to leave.

The crowd was somewhat reluctant to go.

Ahhh!

The police were about to come, a drama was unfolding!

They didn’t want to just leave like this!

But then again.

They were all dignified people.

Since Ye Bolin had spoken, they could only nod their heads in regretful agreement.

Before leaving, they cast longing glances at La Jingzhou and Bai Shilan.

Sigh.

The live event comes to an end here, and any further news would have to come through the media.

How sad indeed.

Yet,

thinking that they at least caught part of the real-time action, when many hadn’t seen any of it at all, they immediately cheered up.

Let’s go!

Such an exciting event, why not spread the word to friends?

Ye Mingcheng and Du Yaru had played the role of the steady ones at tonight’s banquet, staying in the background and watching the drama without getting involved.

Now, as the guests were leaving, they appeared beaming, personally seeing off everyone.

Yes.

What a joyous banquet it had been.
