The Beauty CEO's Personal Expert-Chapter 1326 - 1634: Photo Exposure (1)

Ling Chen nodded and said, "You make a valid point. But how could anyone know Shiyun was here with me?" Ling Chen found it strange; last night, when he picked up Tang Shiyun from the hotel, Tang Shiyun was wearing a mask, so no one could have recognized her. Moreover, there were no cars following them at the time.

Could it be... Ling Chen furrowed his brow. Could it be someone from Falcon Company?

To prepare for the date with Tang Shiyun, many people at Falcon Company knew Tang Shiyun was here. However, the company’s employees were professionals, aware of protecting their employer’s privacy, especially the chairman’s privacy. If it’s found out, he would certainly not let the person off. So, it’s unlikely to be someone within the company.

Thinking back and forth, Ling Chen spread open the newspaper in his hands and examined the photos once more.

The photos captured every move of him and Tang Shiyun on the rooftop very clearly, but... Ling Chen noticed a detail: all the photos were taken from the same angle, only the distance varied. This angle... Ling Chen squinted his eyes, quickly walking to the window to look outside.

Before long, he locked his gaze onto the office building across the street.

That’s it! Ling Chen nodded to himself; the photographer must have been in that building. "Assistant Dong, please call a few people over for me."

"Yes." Dong Ying responded and immediately left.

Soon, five security personnel dressed in suits entered Ling Chen’s room.

"Chairman, what are your instructions?" 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Ling Chen placed the newspaper in front of them and said, "These photos were taken from the office building across the street. Go and investigate who did it. Don’t alert them yet; just find the person. I’ll handle the rest."

"Understood."

Ling Chen wasn’t thinking about taking revenge on the photographer, just eager to secure all the photos to prevent them from being leaked to the media. Who knows what other explosive photos the person might have; it’s best to deal with it quickly to avoid any problems.

After resting for a while, Ling Chen took out his phone and called Yang Chengfeng. Whether these photos would cause trouble for Tang Shiyun remained uncertain.

As soon as the call connected, Yang Chengfeng’s voice came through, "Mr. Ling."

"President Yang, you’ve seen those photos, right?"

"Yes, I’ve seen them."

"How is Shiyun doing?"

"Mr. Ling, these photos will definitely cause some trouble for Miss Tang. I’ve already contacted Xu Hong to quickly return Miss Tang to East Sea City to avoid harassment from reporters." After a pause, Yang Chengfeng continued, "Mr. Ling, don’t worry. Situations like this are common in the entertainment industry and won’t affect Miss Tang’s reputation negatively. On the contrary, this incident will only boost Miss Tang’s fame. Plus, I’ve engaged a public relations company to manage public opinion, and in a week or two, this matter will gradually fade away."

"That’s for the best. Alright, I’ll leave this matter to you."

"No problem. By the way," Yang Chengfeng added, "we still don’t know who the informant is. If he holds other photos, I’m afraid..."

"No need to worry about that; I’ve already sent people to find him. If nothing goes wrong, we’ll have results soon."

After hanging up, Ling Chen sat in his chair, rubbing his brow. Sigh! He never expected anything like this to happen. If he had known, he would have been more cautious. Now, the whole affair has become public knowledge, and everyone knows his close relationship with Tang Shiyun. If Nanrong Wanqing finds out, he’ll have a lot of explaining to do.

Ling Chen stayed in the company the whole morning without going out.

After lunch, just as Ling Chen was about to take a rest, the five security personnel sent to find the photographer returned.

"Chairman."

"So, did you find the person?"

One security personnel nodded, saying, "Chairman, we’ve obtained the surveillance footage from that office building." As he spoke, he turned on the room’s computer and inserted a data disk into the main unit.

Soon, a screen popped up on the computer.

"Chairman, this footage was taken at nine-thirty at the rooftop elevator entrance."

Ling Chen leaned closer to the screen, carefully observing. The elevator doors slowly opened, and a man with a cigarette hanging from his mouth stepped out, seemingly wanting to smoke and get some fresh air.

Due to the limited range of the camera, only this was captured. Over an hour later, the man returned to the elevator. Ling Chen looked at the recording’s timestamp in the screen’s lower-left corner; if he remembered correctly, it was at that time that he helped the drunken Tang Shiyun leave the rooftop.

Thus, the photographer must be this guy.

"Do you know which company he works for?"

"Chairman, we investigated the man’s identity at that office building, but strangely, after seven o’clock last night, all companies in the building had closed. I asked everywhere, and besides the security personnel on duty, no one was working overtime. Also, from the surveillance footage, the man stayed in the building all night without leaving."

"That’s odd." Ling Chen touched his nose, his expression puzzled, "Since he didn’t leave the building, where could he be? Are you sure you’ve asked around everywhere?"

"Chairman, I’ve asked every company in that office building; none have seen this man, not even anyone who knows him."

During their conversation, another security personnel added, "Not everywhere; one company’s doors were closed, and we don’t know if anyone was inside. Regardless, I knocked, but there was no response."

"What company is that?" Ling Chen asked.

"I don’t know. I asked the building’s security; they told me that the company’s site had just been rented out, but the doors were kept closed daily with no one coming in or out."

Upon hearing this, Ling Chen thought about it and said, "Alright, first, investigate the man’s identity and find out where he lives. As long as we know who he is, we’re not afraid of finding him."

"Understood."

After resting in the room for a while and checking the time, Ling Chen sneaked out of the company’s back door alone.

Half an hour later, Ling Chen drove to the outside of Hongyu United Investment Company. After getting out of the car, fearing recognition, he put on a baseball cap, kept his head down, and quickly passed through the crowd straight into the building.

He had no choice; Tang Shiyun was a national goddess. The date news between him and Tang Shiyun, once spread, would turn him into a public enemy for many people. He surely didn’t want to be mobbed on the street.

Carefully making his way through, Ling Chen soon arrived at the chairman’s office.
