Another person who needs to be held responsible for the Ye Lanqiu incident is Yang Jiaqi.

Although she initially appeared innocent and harmless, she was the one who filmed the video of the Ye Lanqiu incident.

It was because of this video that Ye Lanqiu was subjected to online bullying. Although Chen Ruoxi was responsible for editing this news, and Yang Jiaqi knew that Ye Lanqiu was misunderstood and maliciously framed through editing, she never apologized or said a single fair word in the media.

Later, asking Ye Lanqiu to record an apology video was just to create some trending topics. In the end, Ye Lanqiu's apology video was still suppressed by Chen Ruoxi and was never broadcast. She didn't care and felt no remorse.

She ignited the controversy surrounding Ye Lanqiu's refusal to give up her seat, yet sat innocently by her side, seemingly unaffected. It's hard to say how kind she truly is.

Later in the film, under Chen Ruoxi's influence, he also became somewhat corrupted and successfully became a reporter.

Once something is done, one must take responsibility for it; Yang Jiaqi must also take responsibility for what she did.

The last one is Mo Xiaoyu. It was Mo Xiaoyu who called the production team and said that Ye Lanqiu was a mistress, which made Ye Lanqiu's situation even worse.

Despite Chen Ruoxi's ruthless nature in seeking attention, Mo Xiaoyu, seeing how beautiful Ye Lanqiu was, would still fabricate other scandalous rumors about Ye Lanqiu to generate buzz and attract attention, even if she didn't make the call herself.

Those netizens, seeing that Ye Lanqiu was so beautiful and was also a secretary, would also think in the wrong direction and imagine some scandalous news.

However, since Mo Xiaoyu was the one who started it first, causing the matter to spread quickly, she also bears some responsibility for Ye Lanqiu's situation.

However, Mo Xiaoyu's ending was not as happy as the two mentioned above; she eventually divorced Shen Liushu.

She wasn't a particularly bad person; she was just a naive and sheltered noblewoman. In the movie, after Ye Lanqiu's suicide, she was the only one who went to repent.

As for Chen Ruoxi, Yang Jiaqi, and others, after Ye Lanqiu's death, they showed no emotion or remorse. They were only saddened by their own gains and losses, as if they bore no responsibility for Ye Lanqiu's suicide and that it was completely unimportant to them.

Therefore, Li Mu didn't bother to specifically target Mo Xiaoyu.

Chapter 259 Investigation and Confession

Li Mu sat in his study, his mind racing with thoughts. Finally, he sighed softly and began composing the email.

I briefly described how Tang Xiaohua, through Yang Jiaqi, arranged for Sitop Group to frame Chen Ruoxi.

I was about to send it out, but after checking the time and thinking about the information I had just organized, I realized that the time was not right.

What he wanted was not for Chen Ruoxi to get the news early, clear his name, and get away easily; what he wanted was for the dogs to fight each other and both sides to suffer losses.

Only when things are beyond repair, but there is still room for resistance, should Chen Ruoxi be told the truth.

At this point, she no longer had enough time to clear her name or prepare for the future; she only had a very short time to deal with the situation hastily.

When the impact and damage were irreversible, Chen Ruoxi had no choice but to retaliate by using public opinion to smear her opponent and clear her name.

The Sitop Group is not one to be trifled with; with so much money being spent, they naturally have to retaliate.

Let them fight it out some more. Use Chen Ruoxi to deal with Tang Xiaohua and Yang Jiaqi, and then deal with Chen Ruoxi herself.

……

That day, Chen Ruoxi was filled with anxiety, unsure whether she should accept the 200,000 yuan kickback. After all, 200,000 yuan was no small sum, and it was very attractive to her.

After thinking for a while without any clue, Chen Ruoxi turned on her computer. A dialog box popped up in the lower right corner of the system tray, showing that she had received a new anonymous email.

Chen Ruoxi frowned: "Not again."

Last time I received an anonymous email containing damaging information about Sitop Group. Although I gained a lot, I also offended a lot of people. And now, not long after that, another one has come.

Chen Ruoxi silently opened her personal email, clicked on the email, her eyes narrowed, and her breathing became a little heavy.

She looked at it carefully again, thought about what had happened recently, thought about the advertiser she had negotiated with, and thought about Yang Jiaqi's attitude at the time. Something was definitely wrong. Who would be so eager to give kickbacks?

For a moment, Chen Ruoxi felt like she was sitting on pins and needles.

After a moment, he suddenly stood up, no longer able to sit still.

"Xiao Liu."

"Sister Xi, what's wrong?"

"Help me proofread the manuscript. I have something to do and need to go out for a bit."

"Okay, Sister Xi."

After settling things in, Chen Ruoxi picked up her handbag and hurried home.

If what was said in the email is true, someone will transfer 200,000 yuan into her account to substantiate the charge of her accepting kickbacks.

There were no text message notifications on her phone, indicating that it wasn't her usual SIM card.

She opened several bank accounts during college and when she first started working, but she hasn't used them much in recent years, so naturally she wouldn't activate any SMS notification functions.

Chen Ruoxi didn't even bother taking the bus; she hailed a taxi and rushed home anxiously.

When I got home, Yang Shoucheng wasn't there; he was probably out looking for work again.

Chen Ruoxi rummaged through drawers and cabinets, finally finding the bank cards. She grabbed her bag and hurriedly left again.

After checking her balance at two different bank ATMs, one card finally showed a balance of 200,000 yuan. Upon confirming this, Chen Ruoxi was stunned.

Ignoring his anger, he went to the bank counter and checked the transfer records. The money had been transferred in three days ago, which proved that the other party had set a trap and started to act three days ago.

Chen Ruoxi's heart tightened, and without thinking of anything else, she hailed a car and hurriedly headed to the station.

Based on the anonymous email, the whistleblower's report may have already been sent to the station. The station should now be aware of this and is probably discussing how to handle it.

Chen Ruoxi needed to act quickly and confess to the station, proactively explaining the matter of the 200,000 yuan. Only in this way could she gain the upper hand and reduce the suspicion from above.

If it's delayed, and the station finishes its meeting and makes a decision to suspend her or conduct a formal investigation, it will be too late, and the initiative will have shifted to her.

Even if it can't be proven in the end that she received the 200,000 yuan, getting involved in this kind of thing will affect her future career, and this promotion will definitely be ruined.

Twenty minutes later, Chen Ruoxi knocked on the door of Deputy Director Liu's office, who also served as a senior official in the station's discipline inspection department.

"Comrade Chen Ruoxi, is there something you need?" Deputy Director Liu's expression was calm, but his eyes showed some surprise and a hint of inquiry.

Chen Ruoxi said sincerely, "Director Liu, I'm here to admit my mistake."

Deputy Director Liu asked calmly, "Admit what mistake?"

Chen Ruoxi hesitated for a moment before saying, "Director Liu, I brought in an advertiser for the station a few days ago."

Deputy Director Liu nodded silently.

"what happened?"

Chen Ruoxi said nervously, "They said they would give me a kickback."

Deputy Director Liu frowned and asked, "You accepted it?"

Chen Ruoxi quickly shook her head: "No, I didn't accept it, I didn't agree to it."

Deputy Director Liu nodded noncommittally.

"Like This!"

"And what else!" Chen Ruoxi couldn't discern his attitude, so she continued, "Just now, I received 200,000 yuan three days ago on one of my rarely used bank cards. I felt this was very unusual, so I immediately came to explain the situation to you."

Director Liu narrowed his eyes and looked at her carefully: "Two hundred thousand is not a small amount. Who do you think transferred it to you?"

Chen Ruoxi said, "It should be that advertiser. The kickback they told me was exactly 200,000."

Deputy Director Liu said, "Didn't you refuse to accept their kickbacks? Why did they transfer 200,000 to you?"

Chen Ruoxi said, "That's precisely why I was afraid of making a mistake and causing any misunderstanding, so I came over quickly to explain the situation to you."

Deputy Director Liu nodded: "This is the right thing to do. The organization will not wrong an innocent person, nor will it let a bad person go free."

"Why did they wire you 200,000? What are your thoughts and guesses? You can tell me. No one will wire 200,000 to someone for no reason."

Chen Ruoxi said, "Yes! That's what I think too. I suspect someone is deliberately framing me."

Deputy Director Liu said, "You need to clarify who framed you so that we can investigate and clear your name."

Chen Ruoxi said decisively, "Sitop Group."

Deputy Director Liu frowned slightly: "I remember this is a listed company. Why would they frame you?"

Chen Ruoxi said, "We recently did a special report on their company, exposing a lot of inside stories and dirty secrets, which must have angered them, and they are now retaliating against us."

Deputy Director Liu asked, "Do you have any evidence? Is the advertiser you brought in for the station the Sitop Group?"

Chen Ruoxi shook her head with a wry smile: "It's not Sitop Group, it's another small company. Although we haven't found any evidence, it's definitely them."

Deputy Director Liu asked again, "So? How did you attract this advertiser?"

Chen Ruoxi hesitated for a moment and said, "I was brought here through Yang Jiaqi, an intern at the station, but now that I think about it, it was too easy. I suspect they deliberately set a trap for me, and Yang Jiaqi must have been involved as well."

Deputy Director Yang said, "Are you saying that someone deliberately set a trap, and Yang Jiaqi is still an intern at our station?"

Chen Ruoxi said decisively, "Yes, that's definitely it."

Deputy Director Liu looked at Chen Ruoxi with a serious expression for a while before speaking: "Since that's the case, then I won't hide anything from you."

"Two days ago, the station received a letter of complaint against you, saying that you accepted 200,000 yuan in kickbacks."

"The station takes this matter very seriously. After I reported the situation to the station director yesterday, the station's leadership team even held a small discussion meeting."

"At the meeting, some suggested suspending you from your post and investigating the matter thoroughly; others suggested that we should not wrong an innocent comrade, and that we should first find out the situation privately before deciding how to handle it."

"In the end, everyone decided to give you young people a chance. We will not make it public yet, but conduct the investigation privately."

"Now that you have confessed and explained the situation, I hope you are innocent. Learning from past mistakes to avoid future ones and curing the disease to save the patient are our principles."
