My Toxic Ex-Wife: BOSS, Stay Away！-Chapter 545 - 553: Do You Think I Did It?

Regarding the software incident, there are already several versions of the story circulating online. The first version claims that Shi Yi is a corporate spy sent by the Guo Group, who had a dubious relationship with the head of the Guo Family. She pretended to collaborate with the Leng Group at first, only to later seize the opportunity to deliver a heavy blow to Leng’s. The second version suggests that Shi Yi once dated Leng Yixiu, and when Leng Yixiu suddenly got engaged to Gu Yilin, it enraged her. The leak of the game software was just her way of getting back at Leng Yixiu.

Among these versions, people are more inclined to believe the second one. After all, when a woman gets insanely jealous, she is capable of doing anything.

Shi Yi squinted her eyes, finding the online statements utterly ridiculous. Even if she were jealous and seeking revenge, she wouldn’t involve Lei Man and Leng’s. That’s the least bit of professional ethics.

Shi Yi carefully examined the photo on the screen again. From the shooting angle, it was clear that the photographer had excellent photography skills. It was evident that someone with intentions took the photo and then posted it online, with the clear purpose of framing her for this incident.

She didn’t know who was behind this but was very sure that the matter wasn’t that simple.

Just as Shi Yi was pondering how to handle the current situation, a call came from Leng’s, asking her to come over.

Shi Yi already had a rough idea of what it could be about. Her heart sank slightly. She hadn’t expected Leng’s to contact her so quickly.

"Alright, I’ll be there in a bit," Shi Yi hung up the phone and then called Shen Xu to have him accompany her.

When Leng’s asked her to come over, Shi Yi thought it must be for one of two reasons: either to hold someone accountable or to discuss a resolution. Although the online reports had already caused a massive stir in the industry, Shi Yi believed that Leng’s wouldn’t convict her based on a single photo. Thus, she thought it’s more likely that Leng’s wanted to discuss a resolution.

However, she never expected that she would misjudge the situation this time.

When Shi Yi and Shen Xu walked into Leng Group’s president’s office, they immediately sensed something was off.

Shi Yi lowered her gaze, looking at Leng Yixiu who was seated behind the desk, and asked in a deep voice, "I wonder why President Leng asked me to come over?"

Leng Yixiu raised his eyes to glance at Shi Yi. Although their recent meetings had not been pleasant, with Leng Yixiu always having a stern face, this time he seemed even more severe, even his eyes were cold.

He picked up a document from the side of the desk and threw it in front of Shi Yi, "Miss Shi, please give me a reasonable explanation."

Seeing Leng Yixiu’s indifferent expression, Shi Yi felt that something was wrong. She turned her eyes to the document on the desk and reached out to pick it up. The document contained only a few thin A4 papers, but the content left Shi Yi astonished.

The A4 papers printed her recent email correspondence, even some spam emails. But these were not the most critical parts. The crucial thing was that one of the A4 papers contained her email records with the Guo Group head, Guo Heng.

Shi Yi’s eyes narrowed. Leng Yixiu actually investigated her privately!

This made Shi Yi extremely unhappy. Not to mention, she and Guo Heng had rarely had contact, let alone private communication. Even if there was communication, Leng Yixiu’s people had no right to use hacker technology to retrieve her email exchanges. This was her privacy, and Leng Yixiu had no right to do so.

If it were her former self, she would have been furious by now. But at present, she had more important things to deal with, so she could only set this aside for the time being. Glancing at the dates on the A4 paper, she denied firmly, "I have never had any email contact with Guo Heng."

"Is that so?"

"If you don’t believe me, you can verify it yourself." Seeing no objections from Leng Yixiu, Shi Yi borrowed a laptop from him and logged into her email.

In her view, being upright, there’s nothing to fear. If she had indeed corresponded with Guo Heng, even if she tried to delete the emails, given Leng Yixiu’s capabilities, he would still find some loopholes.

However, when she confidently opened her email, the result was unexpectedly shocking. She had never thought that on September 25th, there would indeed be a record of her email communication with Guo Heng, matching the content that Leng Yixiu’s hacker retrieved.

What was more distressing for Shi Yi was that an attachment in that email indeed contained the design plan for their latest game software.

"How could this be? How is this possible?" Shi Yi’s eyes widened with disbelief.

She had never had any dealings with Guo Heng, not even knowing him personally. How could such an email appear out of nowhere in her inbox?

After pondering for a while, Shi Yi slowly spoke, "I believe my email has been hacked."

"Is that so?" Leng Yixiu curled his lips.

"You don’t believe me?"

"Miss Shi, given the evidence, how can I believe you?"

"You intend to convict me just based on this email?" Shi Yi sneered.

"Of course, it’s not just this. Miss Shi, you can’t have missed today’s news headlines, right?"

Shi Yi instantly understood what Leng Yixiu meant. "You even believe that kind of tabloid news? It’s just gossip mongers spreading rumors!"

"There’s no smoke without fire, and having these two incidents together, it’s too coincidental, isn’t it?"

Shi Yi suddenly chuckled, "So, no matter what I say, you still won’t believe me, right?"

"Heh...even if I did leak the information, why would I do that?"

The man suddenly furrowed his brows and massaged his temples, "You know the reason yourself. In the end, part of this is my fault."

Upon hearing Leng Yixiu’s tone, Shi Yi realized that he too believed she had acted out of jealousy and had done something so crazy.

"Mr. Leng, you think too highly of yourself," Shi Yi sneered, raising her chin arrogantly. "Since you’re convinced that it’s all my doing, what do you plan to do about it?"

Seeing the man frown and remain silent, Shi Yi continued in a grave tone, "I’ve always heard that the president of the Leng Group handles affairs with an iron fist, showing no mercy to anyone. This time, with such a significant incident causing considerable damage to Leng’s, you won’t go easy, will you?"

Leng Yixiu stared at her deeply. After a long time, his thin lips moved slightly, "Currently, there isn’t conclusive evidence. Leng’s will not hastily make a decision on this. However, to avoid suspicion, we ask Miss Shi to withdraw from this case."
