Chapter 992: Going with the Flow, Completing the Scheme

"Mm."

Lu Jihan responded, then praised her, "Your analysis is pretty good. Go on."

Shen Kang nodded slightly and continued:

"Second, how did Secretary Chi dare to be so sure that the Xu Wei she saw was the mole, and even notify Security to go catch him?

Third, rumors are already all over the company that there’s a mole inside. If Xu Wei really is that ruthless ghost, he should know that by now we’ve already prepared to arrest him. So why would he risk his neck to show up at this time, like he’s just waiting to be caught?"

Lu Jihan looked satisfied. "Anything else?"

Shen Kang nodded. "One more thing: if Xu Wei really is the mole, he should have deleted the copied bid proposal long ago. Why would he keep it on a USB drive, just waiting for us to get a hold of it? With all these doubts, don’t you think it’s strange?"

After listening to Shen Kang’s analysis, Lu Jihan showed appreciation, nodded, and stood up, patting him lightly on the shoulder.

"As expected of my special assistant. Your analysis makes a lot of sense."

Shen Kang was even more puzzled. "Since you have the same questions I do, President Lu, then why did you still have me issue that announcement? Shouldn’t we keep investigating and find the real mole behind all this?"

Lu Jihan chuckled softly, still calm and unruffled.

"The reason Xu Wei is being pushed out at this moment is simply to protect the undercover who’s lurking inside the company, watching us like a tiger at every turn."

"Looks like this mole is no ordinary person, and pretty smart too."

Lu Jihan’s smile faded, and he said coldly, "But no matter how tight you weave it, there’s always a loose thread. That real mole will slip up sooner or later."

Hearing this, Shen Kang furrowed his brows and thought for a moment. Suddenly something occurred to him. "President Lu, could it be Secretary Chi..."

Lu Jihan raised a hand to cut him off. "We still don’t have solid evidence right now. All we can do is go with the flow and smooth over this setup, let the other side think we’ve relaxed our guard. Next, we’ll see what their next move is. One way or another, this person is tied to the Yan Group. Before we have hard proof, we absolutely cannot alert the snake in the grass."

With that, Shen Kang suddenly understood.

"President Lu, I get what you mean. You want to use this mole to follow the trail upward and grab the Yan Group by its weak point?"

"Exactly."

Lu Jihan nodded and gazed out the window, icy sharpness flickering in those deep eyes.

It seemed that before long, a war without gunfire was about to begin.

......

When she found out she could stay on in the secretariat, Chi Wen was overjoyed.

After getting off work, she went back to her apartment, humming a tune all the way.

But the moment she reached out to turn on the lights, she suddenly saw two figures in the living room.

Chi Wen hadn’t expected anyone to be in her home and was scared so badly her whole body shuddered.

When she finally saw the visitor’s face clearly, her heart gave a violent jolt.

Yan Zhengxiong was sitting upright on the sofa, leaning on a sandalwood cane.

And beside him stood a tall man with a somewhat ferocious, frightening face—his personal bodyguard.

Her legs went weak. She knew that if Yan Zhengxiong had come directly to her apartment, it could only mean trouble.

Terrified, she almost dropped to her knees right in front of him. "Boss, wh-what brings you here?"

"Hmph, and you still have the nerve to ask. Just what kind of mess have you made this time?!"
