Chapter 1310 USB Drive Shattered
Cheng Yunchuan picked up the document, read it carefully, and found that it was an investment plan for the company's new project.
"This project is too risky. I don't agree to invest." Cheng Yunchuan closed the document with a firm tone.
"But this plan has been approved by President Qin himself." The secretary reminded carefully.
Cheng Yunchuan sneered: "Boss Qin approved it? What does he know? He only knows how to eat, drink and have fun. How can he understand investment?"
The secretary didn't dare to say anything else and quietly retreated.
Cheng Yunchuan looked at the document in his hand, a cold light flashed in his eyes. He knew that this was a trap set for him by Qin Yuanqing. If he signed, he would bear full responsibility if the project suffered losses.
"You want me to take the blame? That's not that easy." Cheng Yunchuan threw the document aside, stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the bustling city outside the window, his heart full of fighting spirit.
He knew that he couldn't fall down, he had to stand firm in order to protect the people he wanted to protect.
In the next few days, Qin Yuanqing intensified his efforts to create trouble for Cheng Yunchuan, constantly assigning him some difficult tasks, and even spreading rumors within the company to discredit his reputation.
Although Cheng Yunchuan was exhausted, he did not back down. He handled every matter calmly, defusing the crisis step by step and stabilizing his position in the Qin Group.
One night, Cheng Yunchuan finished a day's work and returned home tired. He opened the door and found Jiang Mubai sitting on the sofa with red and swollen eyes and a haggard look.
"Mu Bai, what's wrong with you?" Cheng Yunchuan hurriedly walked to her and asked with concern.
Jiang Mubai raised his head and looked at Cheng Yunchuan, his eyes full of pain and struggle.
"Yunchuan, I..." She hesitated to speak, as if she had something to hide.
Cheng Yunchuan gently held her in his arms and stroked her hair tenderly: "Tell me if there is anything, I will always be with you."
Jiang Mubai leaned in Cheng Yunchuan's arms, feeling his warm embrace, her heart filled with a sense of security. She took a deep breath, and finally made up her mind to tell him about the USB flash drive.
"What did he give you?" Cheng Yunchuan's voice suddenly turned cold. A chill emanated from him, and the temperature in the room seemed to drop several degrees in an instant.
Jiang Mubai handed the USB flash drive to Cheng Yunchuan tremblingly, her hands were as cold as ice.
Cheng Yunchuan took the USB drive, inserted it into the computer, and the video began to play. As the video progressed, his face became more and more gloomy, and his eyes flashed with angry flames.
When the video ended, the room fell into silence, leaving only the heavy breathing of the two people.
Cheng Yunchuan stood up suddenly and threw the USB drive to the ground. The USB drive shattered and the pieces scattered all over the ground, just like Jiang Mubai's broken heart at this moment.
He walked to the French window, looked at the dark night sky outside, his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white.
"Qin Yuanqing!" He spat out these three words through gritted teeth, his voice terribly low, like the whisper of a demon from hell.
Cheng Yunchuan's silence was like an invisible wall, isolating Jiang Mubai from the outside. He stood in front of the French window, his back straight but revealing an indescribable loneliness.
The neon lights outside the window flickered, reflecting on his face, but not into his deep eyes. Jiang Mubai's heart sank little by little, as if falling into an icy abyss.
She didn't understand why he didn't say it? Did he really not care? Or was there something he couldn't tell?
"Yunchuan." Jiang Mubai's voice trembled, like a wisp of drifting smoke, light and floating, but with a hint of despair that was hard to ignore.
Cheng Yunchuan turned around and looked at her with a complicated look in his eyes, showing heartache, guilt, and a hint of avoidance.
"Mu Bai, there are some things I can't tell you right now." His voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of fatigue.
"You can't tell me? You can't, or you don't want to?" Jiang Mubai smiled bitterly.
Cheng Yunchuan was silent, and Jiang Mubai thought his silence meant he agreed.
"Okay, since you don't want to say it, I won't force you. Let's... sleep in separate rooms." Jiang Mubai took a deep breath and tried hard to suppress the bitterness in his heart.
After saying that, she turned and left the room, leaving Cheng Yunchuan standing there alone, looking at her departing back, with a trace of pain in his eyes.
In the following days, the two of them fell into a cold war. Cheng Yunchuan was still busy with work, trying to numb himself with busyness.
Jiang Mubai locked herself in the room, thinking about the video over and over again. The doubts and anxieties in her heart entangled her like vines, making it difficult for her to breathe.
Qin Yuanqing's news came at the right time, like a life-saving straw, allowing Jiang Mubai, who was struggling on the edge of despair, to grasp a glimmer of hope.
"Mu Bai, I know you've been in a bad mood lately. Do you want to come out and relax?" Qin Yuanqing's voice was gentle and considerate, with a hint of concern.
Jiang Mubai hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed. She needed someone to talk to, and Qin Yuanqing seemed to be the right person.
The two came to an elegant coffee shop, and Qin Yuanqing considerately ordered a cup of cappuccino that Jiang Mubai liked.
"Mubai, I know you must have a lot of questions in your mind. If you are willing, I can tell you something." Qin Yuanqing looked at Jiang Mubai, with a gleam in his eyes.
Jiang Mubai's heart skipped a beat. She raised her head and looked at Qin Yuanqing, her eyes full of anticipation: "What do you know?"
Qin Yuanqing smiled mysteriously: "I know a lot of things you don't know, including Cheng Yunchuan's secrets."
Jiang Mubai's heart beat faster. She couldn't wait to know the answer: "You talk, I'm listening."
Qin Yuanqing took a sip of coffee and said slowly: "Do you know? Cheng Yunchuan approached you for a purpose."
"Purpose?" Jiang Mubai frowned, with a bad feeling in his heart.
"That's right, he approached you in order to use you." Qin Yuanqing's tone was certain, with a hint of subtle malice.
"Use me?" Jiang Mubai felt a chill rising from the soles of her feet. She couldn't believe that Cheng Yunchuan would actually use her.
"Yes, he used you to take revenge on me. He hates me, so he wants to use you to attack me." A hint of viciousness flashed in Qin Yuanqing's eyes.
"Revenge you? Why would he want to retaliate against you?" Jiang Mubai was even more confused.
Qin Yuanqing sighed and pretended to be helpless: "Because I took away his beloved woman."
"My beloved woman?" Jiang Mubai's heart sank suddenly. She suddenly remembered the photos and videos in Cheng Yunchuan's room. Could it be?
"Yes, it's you. He has always loved your sister, but he knows that you will never belong to him, so he chose to retaliate against me." Qin Yuanqing looked at Jiang Mubai with pity in his eyes.
Jiang Mubai's mind went blank. She felt like a puppet, being led by Qin Yuanqing. She didn't know who to trust or what to do.
