The Villain Is A Scheming Boss 14

Gu Xiyu sat in the meeting room for about an hour before Ji Chen finally returned. When he came in, he was followed by an angry Director Li, who seemed to have already decided that he was the person who had betrayed the company. It was just because of his identity that he could not directly curse at him like other staff members.

“Give me the phone.” Ji Chen came to Gu Xiyu and stretched out a hand toward him.

Gu Xiyu hesitated for a moment before unlocking the phone and giving it to Ji Chen.

Ji Chen skillfully went to an app on his mobile phone, opened it, and turned the screen to him: “There was a notification for a remote log in with an employee ID when you and I were in the hotel on Sunday night.”

Feng Ming has an app for company employees, and it was a young man named Chen Han from the Human Resource Department who helped him download and install it on the day he came in.

So, could this prompt be used as evidence to prove that the information leak has nothing to do with him?

Ji Chen seemed to have guessed his thoughts: “But even with this notice, it doesn’t mean that you don’t have an accomplice, especially with this kind of private login account behavior. Either someone is trying to frame you, or they are your accomplice. The other party must have planned in advance and gotten rid of any evidence against him.”

After speaking, Ji Chen lowered his head and flipped through Gu Xiyu’s mobile phone. He suddenly showed a mysterious smile: “It will take some time to thoroughly investigate this matter. Your mobile phone, personal computer, and some private data accounts need to be temporarily handed over to the company for safekeeping. Only by ensuring that there is no exchange of information related to Fengming with other people can you prove your innocence.”

“And…you should take a vacation during this time.”

It was then that Gu Xiyu instantly understood the meaning behind Ji Chen’s smile.

The investigation was probably an excuse. His real purpose was to use the opportunity to check the information he had, right?

“Okay.” Gu Xiyu didn’t struggle.

He didn’t believe that Ji Chen would be so kind as to clean up this “grievance.” After the hotel incident, Ji Chen must have begun to be on guard against him, and this was a good way to get him out of the company.

Gu Xiyu was in the bureau’s control room year round, dealing with data. Even if Ji Chen refuses to help him find the person behind the scenes, he could do it himself.

To prevent Ji Chen from secretly analyzing the files on his mobile phone, he had transferred them to the USB flash drive as soon as he left the hotel and went home. He had temporarily put them together with the encrypted files. As for the personal laptop, its contents were already gone. Although he did not log on to the cloud account, he knew that the original owner would not be so stupid as to upload it directly to a place where it would be easily discovered.

So Gu Xiyu calmly handed over everything to Ji Chen for inspection.

As for Fengming and Ji Chen, he had not paid attention to the internal operation of the company during his time at work these days. What gave him a headache was that Ji Chen was too cautious and had high demands for his company’s internal and external factors.

If Ji Chen really wanted to take this opportunity to expel him from the company, he would just take the files from the original owner and join the Ji Group to help Ji Zixuan stabilize the situation, and try to keep him from falling into the trap that Ji Chen has woven.

Ji Chen squinted his eyes, and after handing Gu Xiyu’s mobile phone to Director Li, he suddenly raised his hand and rubbed the top of Gu Xiyu’s hair like he was coaxing a kid and said gently, “Baby, don’t be angry, I’m just doing my job as a company’s president. You know that I definitely believe you.”

Gu Xiyu was startled.

No one has ever offended him by touching him so intimately.

He could even feel the cracked expressions on the faces of Director Li and the secretary at the door.

Gu Xiyu lifted his hand and grabbed Ji Chen’s wrist. Just as he was about to use his strength, he suddenly remembered that the old butler of the main house said that Ji Chen’s hand had been seriously injured when he was a child.

After a second of hesitation, he withdrew his strength without changing his face. He held his hand and looked down and said, “I’m not angry.”

However, his retreat encouraged Ji Chen to do something even more intimate. Ji Chen bent over and kissed his forehead: “Don’t worry, I will definitely find out who wants to harm you.”

Blue veins started to emerge on Gu Xiyu’s hand that was holding Ji Chen’s wrist. Finally, he couldn’t hold back anymore, and he squeezed Ji Chen’s wrist with a little bit of force before letting it go, using it as a silent threat.

The smile In Ji Chen’s eyes deepened. He was obviously being threatened, but he seemed to be very happy.

And as if to prove it, the system suddenly sent out an automatic notification.

[The target’s risk value is -1. The current risk value is 46.]

Gu Xiyu listened to the notification from the system. He recalled that he had literally done nothing, so he couldn’t help but comment: “Ji Chen is really sick.”

He should be In a bad mood now, and his risk value should have increased, but it decreased instead. And when he should be in a good mood, his risk value always increases.

[I think so too.]

Gu Xiyu was afraid that if he continued to stay in the same room with Ji Chen, he would do even more intimate things. He packed up his things and left with the excuse of going home, leaving Director Li and Ji Chen with sad faces inside. They then continued to discuss company matters.

He was the focus of attention when he returned to the office, but because it was working time, everyone was worried that the topic was too sensitive. Even when they saw him packing things, no one dared to ask him directly.

Before leaving the office, Gu Xiyu tapped on the desk of the female colleague next door and pushed a note in front of her: “I’m taking a vacation for a while. If someone from the technical department comes to check my computer and wants to know the passwords of some of my accounts, you can give them this piece of paper, thank you.”

The female colleague took the paper and asked in a low voice, “Are you going on vacation, or were you fired? Did President Ji blame you? Xiyu, we all believe you wouldn’t do anything like that.”

Gu Xiyu’s work attitude has always been very good since joining the company, and he is a fast learner. He had already mastered everything in just a few days, and his colleagues in the office treated him very well. Even the serious supervisor in their department had softened her attitude towards Gu Xiyu.

He was suddenly accused of betraying the company, and everyone’s first reaction was surprise and disbelief. Now that they heard that there was still room for a reversal, they all hoped that everything would end positively.

Gu Xiyu accepted the kindness from his colleagues. He smiled gently at them and left the office without looking back.

When he took the elevator to the ground floor, he happened to run into He Rong, who had just finished picking up some mail and was going to go back to his office. He Rong hadn’t expected to meet him so coincidentally at such an embarrassing moment, so his eyes avoided him a little.

When He Rong entered the elevator, Gu Xiyu suddenly turned around before the doors closed and asked him: “You majored in computer science at the university, right? You must be quite skilled since you were able to enter Fengming.”

He Rong’s shoulders shook when he heard the words. He looked up at him, as if he didn’t understand why Gu Xiyu had said that so suddenly.

………

Ji Chen sent two people who looked like bodyguards to take Gu Xiyu back to the Gu villa, saying that they had to monitor him so he could smoothly hand in all the laptops and tablets he possessed to cooperate with their investigation.

Although, with Fengming’s power, it was obvious that the truth could be discovered even without these things.

The car was still a bit away from Gu’s villa when the billowing smoke coming from the residential area not far away caught his attention.

He was wondering who would be so careless as to burn the house so miserably when the car turned into the community. He then realized that it was his house that was on fire.

Gu Xiyu: “…”

“I had gone out to buy something. How come the house was suddenly on fire when I came back?!” Xu Caiting’s weeping voice could be heard from the front of the crowd.

Gu Xun was standing beside her with a cane. He was like a wooden man, motionless as he stared blankly at the villa engulfed in fire.

That was their only remaining house, and most of their net worth was in it. Gu’s company was already facing a huge financial crisis, and now this kind of thing suddenly happened. Xu Caiting cried and even fainted a few times.

Gu Xun saw Gu Xiyu and it was like seeing a life-saving angel. He hadn’t expected to see him at home during work hours. He took his hand in his and pleaded, “Son, you are the only support for your parents. You must help us! You must help the Gu family!”

Gu Xiyu: [I’m spending the night at your apartment tonight. I am telling you in advance, thank you.]

Ji Chen suddenly received a message from Gu Xiyu just as he was getting ready to leave Fengming after work.

He then remembered that the two people who were responsible for sending Gu Xiyu home today came back and reported that they could not get his other personal belongings because the house was burned down. He had a video conference to attend, so he didn’t have time to ask in detail.

Ji Chen picked up the coat on the chair and left the office. He was just about to call Gu Xiyu when he suddenly remembered that his mobile phone had been handed over to the company’s supervision department, so he could only go directly to the apartment.

When Ji Chen returned to the apartment, Gu Xiyu was sitting on the sofa and playing with the cat.

To be precise, it was the white cat Xixi, who usually ignores everyone except him [JC], that was playing and enjoying itself. It licked and circled Gu Xiyu, who was just as excited as it was. The cat almost turned bald due to Gu Xiyu’s continuous rubbing of its body.

There were a few dishes on the table that looked freshly cooked. The “cook” had also kindly set up the tableware for him as if the “cook” knew he was coming.

“I happen to be living here these few days.” Ji Chen explained smoothly.

Gu Xiyu had guessed that Ji Chen was living here these days as soon as he came and saw the cat.

“What’s the matter? How come your house suddenly caught fire?” The incident left Ji Chen a bit dumbfounded.

Gu Xiyu replied: “Apparently, my mother forgot that she was boiling the water when she went out and didn’t turn off the gas. But my mother said that she doesn’t have the habit of boiling water at home at all. It is impossible for the kitchen to catch fire because she forgot to turn off the gas. “

Obviously, things were a bit weird.

Ji Chen walked to the living room and leaned against the wall with his hands on his chest and asked him: “Didn’t you say that someone wanted to kill you?”

Gu Xiyu touched the head of the white cat that had jumped into his arms. He paused for a moment, avoided Ji Chen’s question, and said bluntly: “My dad said he wants to see you.”

Because Xu Caiting’s mood was unstable, he had arranged for her and Gu Xun to stay in the hotel for the time being.

Ji Chen probably knew why Gu Xun was looking for him: “I should be free the next night. You can bring them over.”

“Okay.”

Ji Chen looked at Gu Xiyu, who didn’t pay attention to him after replying, and asked, “Is staying for only one night enough?”

Gu Xiyu paused in his act of caressing the cat. He put the cat down and replied: “Yes. We still have some money so I temporarily booked them a room for a week.”

Then, he heard Ji Chen’s low laugh.

“I meant you.”

“Is it enough for you to stay here for only one night?”


T/N: Uh…there was a power outage since yesterday 😓… didn’t get to fo much.
