h.e.l.lo, Luoluo.

Where did you go? Are you alright? When are you coming down?

The light on her face suddenly dimmed. Ye Qingqiu took a deep breath and said, Its fine. Wait for me for a while more. Ill be down soon.

Hurry up then.

Okay.

Ye Qingqiu hung up and placed her phone in her bag. Her palms were already covered in cold sweat.

Miss Ye, its true that were fated, right?

Qin Hao seemed very calm at this moment, as if he wasnt the one who had appeared here.

Ye Qingqiu forced herself to calm down. She smiled and walked towards him slowly.

Did Young Master Qin come to the wrong place?

Qin Jianjia chuckled and said, Of course not. Its a rare weekend. Why is Miss Ye here at this time?

Ye Qingqiu didnt say anything. After a while, she asked, You dont seem to mind being caught by me.

Qin Hao sat on the desk with his legs crossed, looking relaxed.

Since Miss Ye didnt expose me just now, does that mean we can discuss something?

Ye Qingqiu fell silent for a moment before laughing.

So you heard what I said to Li Tingshen at the entrance of the hospital that day?

Qin Jianjia didnt deny it. It was purely a coincidence. I just wanted to send Xuer out of the hospital that day.

Ye Qingqiu walked towards him and the two of them seemed to be chatting.

To be honest, our first impression of each other is terrible. I seem to have misunderstood you. I really couldnt tell that Young Master Qin is a devoted man.

Qin Hao smiled and took off his mask. Miss Ye, Im doing something bad after all, so can you give me your phone? If you secretly call someone up, Ill be finished.

Ye Qingqiu paused and took out her phone from her bag.

She accidentally pressed the unlock b.u.t.ton on her phone and the screen lit up. She suddenly saw a USB flash drive that had been lying in her bag for a long time.

The moment Ye Qingqius phone lit up, Qin Hao s.n.a.t.c.hed her bag away.

She picked up her phone and looked at it. It seemed that there was really no call or anything else.

Then, he poured out everything in her bag worriedly. Other than simple makeup, tissues, bank cards, and other daily necessities, there was also a simple USB drive.

Taking out the USB drive, he raised his eyebrows and chuckled. Can I a.s.sume that Miss Ye came here for the same reason as me?

Ye Qingqiu curled her fingers and stared at the USB drive for a while before shaking her head. Im not sure.

Yes?

Ye Qingqiu leaned against the desk and faced Qin Hao. She spoke slowly with a sarcastic tone.

Everyone understands that the most important thing to the cold and indifferent Li Tingshen in this world is his mother and the Li Corporation that his father left for him. Everyone knows that I like him. However, even though were getting married, he has never said that he loves me. I dont know when he will leave me, so I think that if I can hold the most important thing to him, he wont leave me anytime.

You should know very well that his mother likes Liang Xuer. Even now, she still wants to matchmake him and Liang Xuer. I cant get my hands on his mother, so I can only have designs on the Li Corporation.

Ive mentioned to him a few times that I want to put the Li Corporation under my name. He didnt agree and said that if the software development results this time dont work, the Li Corporation will suffer a loss and it will be easy for me to obtain the Li Corporation. Actually, the Li Corporation pales in comparison to the Ye Corporation. It doesnt suffer a loss and I dont care how valuable it is. I only want the Li Corporation.

After Ye Qingqiu finished speaking, she smiled at Qin Jianjia.

Thats why Im not sure if Young Master Qin has the same goal as me. My goal is to completely destroy the procedures this time. The Li Corporation will face a huge loan problem next. Then, the Ye Corporation will help to return it and the Li Corporation will be under my name.

If Young Master Qin still wants to use this software to find another path, its a pity that I cant let you take it out. Destroying it is not the same as fulfilling your wish.

But I think Young Master Qin has made so many preparations because he doesnt have a backup plan. So theres no need for you to use it to gain any benefits. Even if you take it out and continue to develop it yourself, Li Tingshen will find out sooner or later and wont let you off easily. So destroying it should be the best choice, right?

Qin Hao listened to her quietly. After some thought, he suddenly smiled.

A woman who only has the brain of love is really terrifying. In order to keep a man, she can actually be so ruthless. Your a.n.a.lysis is indeed not bad. Ive even kidnapped Gao Mings son. From the start, I didnt leave any way out for myself. Youre thinking the same as me. Li Tingshen has destroyed the Qin Corporation, which is the most important to me. Then Ill let him have a taste of losing the most important thing. The Li Corporation is my goal!

Thats why I dont plan to use this stupid program to earn more money. Im afraid Ill lose my life to earn money. Its good to let it be completely destroyed. But

Qin Jianjia paused and looked at her with a faint smile. Arent you worried that if Li Tingshen finds out that this is your doing, he wont dump you?

Ye Qingqius heart tightened. You dare to come in so openly today. Arent you afraid that the surveillance cameras will find you?

Qin Jianjia sneered. Gao Ming is in my hands. Isnt it easy for me to get him to use his ability to tamper with the surveillance cameras?

Ye Qingqiu nodded. Thats right. Without the surveillance cameras, I cant find out who it is. He has no reason to suspect me.

Qin Hao stared at her and smiled sarcastically. So lets go in together?

Ye Qingqiu stood up and walked towards the office.

Qin Hao followed behind and opened the office door with another access card.

Then, he sat in his office chair and turned on his computer. He entered the pa.s.sword that the high-level employee had given him. It was completely correct.

Then, he took out his USB from his pocket and was about to insert it when Ye Qingqiu suddenly spoke.

Young Master Qin.

Qin Hao paused and looked up at her. Why? Are you regretting it?

Ye Qingqiu smiled and said, If I want to destroy it, Ill destroy it completely. I know a little about programming. Take this ordinary USB drive and move these doc.u.ments. I think any engineer here has the ability to retrieve the missing doc.u.ments. Whats the point of doing this?

Qin Jianjias expression changed drastically. So Gao Ming had a backup plan?

He had almost been tricked.

Then what should we do?

Destroy that computer.

Qin Jianjia was puzzled. Smash?

Ye Qingqiu chuckled and said, It seems like Young Master Qin doesnt know much about computers. The hard and soft disks are still there. Its easier for them to retrieve the files than to directly copy them.

Qin Hao panicked. What should we do?!

Ye Qingqiu pointed at the USB flash drive beside her.

Qin Hao took it out of her bag.

Theres a virus in that USB drive. I specially got someone to prepare it for me today. Once its inserted into the computer, the virus inside will automatically shatter everything inside, including the computers calculation data. The data will be destroyed and the computer will be sc.r.a.pped.

It sounded like a fantasy to Qin Jianjia, but it wasnt impossible.

Why should I believe you?

Do you have any other way? Were already standing here. If I lie to you, will you let me go?

Qin Jianjia thought for a long time before gritting her teeth and choosing to believe Ye Qingqiu.

Oh right, return the USB drive to me after this. I spent a lot of money to buy it. Perhaps I can use it to take revenge on others in the future?

If everything on this computer is as clear as you say, I have no use for it.

Ye Qingqiu raised an eyebrow and fell silent.

Qin Miao took a deep breath and inserted the USB drive into the interface.

The computer screen suddenly changed and a white code flashed behind the black screen.

After about two minutes, the image stopped. Five seconds later, the computer screen suddenly went black.

The main computer stopped running, and even the light on the computer screen went dark.

Indeed

Ye Qingqius tense heart suddenly relaxed. She thought that there was a flaw in Xu Wenxuans program and that it wouldnt achieve the effect she had mentioned. It seemed like there shouldnt be a problem.

Qin Hao also took a deep breath. Unwilling to give up, he pressed the switch. There was no reaction, and so was the display.

She hadnt lied to him.

She heaved a sigh of relief and looked up at Ye Qingqiu.

He could easily see the smile on her lips.

He chuckled softly. Only now did he fully believe that love could indeed drive people crazy.

Women couldnt be more ruthless.

Ye Qingqiu lowered her gaze and met his gaze. She raised her eyebrows and asked, What are you thinking about?

Nothing. I just feel that Li Tingshen is indeed capable to force the princess of Ping Cheng to such an extent.

Ye Qingqiu walked over and tried the computer switch. After confirming that it didnt light up again, she bent down to remove the USB drive.

Its not a big deal to me. No matter what, the Li Corporation cant compare to the Ye Corporations shares. At most, Ill give him some shares as compensation.

Hehehe, Miss Ye is indeed generous.

He smiled and stood up. Since the matter is settled, the rest is up to Miss Ye alone. Take care of yourself. Ill get going first. Oh, Ill take your phone first. When Im out of the Li Corporation safely, Ill place it by the fountain downstairs. Remember to get it.

Ye Qingqiu remained silent.

Five minutes after Qin Jianjia went downstairs, she left the engineering department.

She found Luo Luo and Ye Ze in the parking lot.

Luo Luo ran over hurriedly. Qingqiu, why did you take so long? Where did you go?

Ye Qingqius energy was almost exhausted from the confrontation with Qin Jianjia. She shook her head with an ugly expression and said, Its nothing. Where are you staying tonight? Ill get Brother Ye Ze to send you.

Seeing that there was something wrong with her expression and that she might not have the patience to answer her no matter how much she asked, Luo Luo shook her head.

No need. Ive booked a hotel nearby. Ill take a taxi there myself. You dont look too good. Go home and rest early.

Ye Qingqiu nodded. Be careful on the way.

Luo Luo agreed and pushed her into the car.

The moment she got into the car, Ye Qingqiu leaned back and closed her eyes.

Miss, what happened?

Ye Qingqiu took a deep breath and slowly opened her eyes. Didnt you see anyone else coming out of the building?

No. Ye Zes voice suddenly tensed up. You met someone else in the company?

Qin Hao.

The car suddenly swayed and stopped by the roadside.

Ye Ze immediately turned to look at her with a frown. Are you alright?

Ye Qingqiu shook her head. Im fine.

Ye Ze heaved a sigh of relief.

Then, she started the car again. Why is he going to the Li Corporation?

No one wants to destroy Li Tingshen more than him. He went to steal that software program.

Ye Ze paused slightly. So now that youre back safely, did he succeed?

Not really Ah, right.

She suddenly stood up and took out her phone to call Xu Wenxuan.

Before ten oclock, Xu Wenxuan picked up the call quickly. He seemed surprised and uncertain.

Qingqiu?

Xu Wenxuan. Ye Qingqiu quickly asked, Has the cracking program for the USB drive you gave me last time been released?

The cracking program This matter has been put on hold for a long time. Why are you suddenly asking about this?

Ye Qingqiu bit her lips. This answer made her panic and her voice sounded like she was crying.

I used it accidentally today. There are important doc.u.ments inside. Why did I shelve them? Cant I make them?

Xu Wenxuan could clearly feel her anxiety and panic through the phone. The person who was lying on the bed and preparing to sleep on her phone jumped up.

No, I was delayed by something. Dont worry, I Ill contact Senior now to ask about the situation.

Ye Qingqiu gripped the phone tightly as tears welled up in her eyes. Dont hang up. You have to listen to him too.

Okay, wait.

Xu Wenxuan took his phone and called the senior.

Speaking of the cracking program, I encountered some problems that were a little difficult to resolve. Later on, because of other projects, I shelved it. Whats wrong?

Xu Wenxuan was also a little anxious because of Ye Qingqius current situation. He hurriedly said, The USB drive has been used and we need to recover the doc.u.ments inside urgently. Senior, can we study it and hurry up to produce it?

Is it urgent?

Xu Wenxuan nodded and said, Its best if we start tonight.

The other party was silent for a while before agreeing.

Ye Qingqiu relaxed slightly and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. Are you going to school? Im going too.

Okay.

After hanging up, Ye Qingqiu bit her lips and sent a message to Li TingshenI might have to stay with Luoluo for a while more tonight. Dont wait for me, sleep first.

Then, she sent him a coquettish emoticon before turning off her phone.

Brother Ye Ze, lets go to school.

Ye Ze pursed his lips. Missy, you cant help even if you go. Why dont you go home and rest?

I cant sleep even if I go home. I dont know how to tell him I was the one who caused the trouble. Whats important now is to find the thing. Lets go to school. Turn off your phone too. Dont let Li Tingshen find you.

Yes.

Not long after Ye Qingqiu arrived at school, Xu Wenxuan and the senior arrived one after another.

Seeing Ye Qingqiu standing there with red eyes, the two of them didnt know what to do. They could only seize the time to sit in front of the computer and study countermeasures.

Ye Qingqiu stood behind them and listened to their conversation.

Xu Wenxuan had never seen Ye Qingqiu with red eyes, let alone a proud girl like her.

Actually, you dont have to stay here. You cant help with such matters. Why dont you go home and take a shower

Ye Qingqiu shook her head and grabbed his arm tightly. No, Xu Wenxuan You have to decode it. Otherwise, I really dont know what to do

As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes again.

Xu Wenxuan felt bad and guilty. Dont worry, there will be a solution. I was the one who gave you the USB drive back then. Im also responsible for this. Alright, if youre not going home, go sit by the side. Its best if you rest first.

Ye Qingqiu was completely at a loss. She couldnt help even if she wanted to, so Xu Wenxuan pulled her to a seat.

When Li Tingshen received Ye Qingqius message, he had just driven out of the house.

From Gao Mings tone when he answered the call yesterday, she had thought that something was amiss. After she was done with work today, she got Xiao Chu to investigate and indeed, she found something.

Gao Mings family was not at home.

After asking all the residents and relatives around Gao Mings family, there was no news. In the end, they started investigating again.

Then, they found out that Gao Mings son, who had just started elementary school, had gone missing. Mrs. Gao was also taken away on the way to fetch her son from school. After that, Gao Ming received news and threatened him to fetch his wife alone.

She had never returned home since then.

It had been an entire day since yesterday afternoon.

It wasnt until just now that Xiao Chu confirmed the location of Gao Mings family. They had already received them and were rus.h.i.+ng to the company.

Seeing Ye Qingqius message, he didnt urge her to go back since she was with Luoluo and Ye Ze was protecting her.

*

She was in a sorry state when she saw Gao Ming in the company.

Seeing Li Tingshen, Gao Ming fell to the ground and cried.

CEO Li, CEO Li, Im sorry. I really have no choice. He threatened me with my sons life

Li Tingshens handsome face darkened.

Who threatened you with your sons life?

Its the young master of the Qin family, Qin Hao. Hes a lunatic

If Li Tingshens expression was considered indifferent just now, at this moment, he stood up from his chair. The coldness in his eyes froze the air in the office.

So why did he look for you?

He wants to s.n.a.t.c.h my companys access card and the offices access card. And and my computer pa.s.sword and our software programs storage route

Xiao Chu felt her scalp tingle.

If not for the fact that CEO Li felt that he had targeted the Qin family for no reason, attacked the Qin family, and crippled Qin Haos life, he wouldnt have felt sorry for the Qin family. He wouldnt have thrown him into the police station to fend for himself after he injured Miss Ye again.

She knew that Qin Hao hated CEO Li, but she didnt expect him to do such an extreme thing.

But CEO Li, Qin Hao doesnt seem to know much about computers. If he just deleted the file or copied it, I still have a way to get it back.

When Li Tingshen heard this, he didnt feel relieved. Instead, his face darkened.

You know when hell be here?

Gao Ming was stunned. He left after taking what was on me. Isnt it tonight?

Li Tingshen looked at Xiao Chu.

Xiao Chu hurriedly turned around and walked out of the office. Li Tingshen thought for a while before following her.

Gao Ming scrambled to wipe the tears off his face and chased after her.

*

In Gao Mings office on the twelfth floor.

Xiao Chu bent down and stood in front of Gao Mings computer. She tried a few times but to no avail.

Gao Ming tried to open it nervously.

He hurriedly tried to operate the other computer, but within a few minutes, the blood drained from his face.

Whats wrong?! Xiao Chu asked anxiously when she saw Gao Mings expression.

Gao Mings pale lips trembled. CEO CEO Li that computer all the data has been cleared

Li Tingshens pupils constricted and the coldness between his brows slowly spread. His cold voice almost shattered the solid snow mountain.

What do you mean by that?

Gao Ming was so frightened that he almost fainted. Its its that all the basic data supporting the computer has been cleared. Without this data, this computer is completely useless. Its just a piece of trash

Xiao Chu closed his eyes in despair.

Oh no.

After preparing for nearly two years and spending so much money, only a pile of waste was left.

This pile of waste was probably the most expensive waste in the world.

Li Tingshens hands hung by his sides as he clenched his fists tightly.

I thought he didnt understand computers?

I dont know Im not sure either Back then, I only saw him install a USB drive. He even specially asked me if I could copy it into the USB drive But the current situation is obviously the work of a computer expert

Gao Ming paused and glanced at Li Tingshens gloomy face. He quickly retracted his gaze and lowered his head.

CEO Li I think there should be someone helping him. Otherwise, with his knowledge of computers, he wouldnt have emptied all the data on a computer so easily.

Xiao Chu immediately turned around. Ill go check the surveillance cameras.

Li Tingshen didnt say a word. So what if he got the surveillance footage?

She couldnt find what had completely disappeared.

At this moment, Gao Ming said fearfully, The surveillance cameras are useless He made me erase the surveillance records
