People around quickly craned their necks to try and see what was in the photo.

Qi Yuye glanced down at the screen and, after seeing the contents clearly, felt a strange sensation in his heart.

The figure in the photo looked somewhat familiar, but something felt off.

Seeing this, the people nearby couldn't help but ask.

"Miss Lin, you can't see anything clearly in this photo!"

Lin Xi seemed to have anticipated their reaction and simply pulled out the photo that was at the bottom.

"Take another look, who does this person resemble?"

Although it's just a profile view, you can tell this person is very beautiful, just like...

Some people couldn't help but cast their gazes at Nan Shu not far away, and some whispers began to circulate in the conference room.

"This woman looks a bit like Miss Nan..."

"Who can argue with that? This profile is clearly identical to hers!"

The discussion grew louder and louder, and Nan Shu inevitably heard it as well.

She knew Lin Xi's visit was never for anything good, but she never expected Lin Xi to use such a trick to frame her.

"I don't know what photos you took, but I did not leak the company's design drafts, nor do I know anyone from any competitor companies."

Nan Shu suddenly spoke up.

As soon as Nan Shu finished speaking, Lin Qi let out a cold laugh.

"But the person standing across from you in the photo, chatting happily, is clearly the chief designer of our rival company. Do you still dare to say you don't know anyone from their company?"

Lin Xi pointed to the person in the photo whose face was clearly visible. Anyone familiar with the person would recognize him at a glance and would exclaim in surprise.

"It really is Steven!"

Qi Yuye's face immediately turned very ugly when he heard these people talking back and forth.

"Although this person is Steven, this woman may not be Nan Shu. There are many people in this world who look alike, not to mention that this is just a profile view."

Qi Yuye suddenly spoke up.

Qi Yuye's words surprised everyone present, and they looked at him in disbelief.

The most surprised person was Lin Xi. She never expected that Qi Yuye would still speak up for Nan Shu even with so much evidence.

"Yu Ye, don't be fooled by this woman. Have you forgotten? She's the biggest liar!"

Lin Xi looked anxious, like a caring and loving wife.

The executive next to him couldn't help but chime in, "That's right, Mr. Qi, the evidence is irrefutable. If I remember correctly, Miss Nan did attend this exhibition a few days ago, didn't she?"

Qi Yuye remained silent; of course he knew that Nan Shu had been to this exhibition.

But he also believed that, given Nan Shu's personality, she would never do such a thing.

"It couldn't be her; she has no reason to do such a thing."

Qi Yuye denied it again.

Hearing Qi Yuye's words, it would be a lie to say that Nan Shu wasn't moved.

She stared intently at Qi Yuye, her mind racing with thoughts.

"Why wouldn't there be a reason? Her son needs money for medical treatment, that's the reason! Also, I heard that Shengda Group recently completely severed its cooperation with Chen Jingyan's company. Maybe Nan Shu is deliberately retaliating for her husband's sake?"

Lin Xi embellished everything she knew, and even emphasized the word "husband" to remind Qi Yuye that she was not currently single.

But what she didn't know was that Qi Yuye was involved in all of these things.

After Lin Xi recounted these events, Qi Yuye became even more convinced that Nan Shu was not the one who did it.

But the executives in the conference room couldn't hold back any longer. They all looked at Qi Yuye, their words carrying a hint of threat.

"Mr. Qi, you're not trying to protect Nan Shu because you still have feelings for her from the past, are you?"

"President Qi, this is no small matter. If we don't get to the bottom of this, it will directly cause us to lose hundreds of millions. How are we supposed to explain that to the shareholders?"

"Mr. Qi, I think there's no doubt about this matter. Nan Shu is indeed the most suspicious person. Why don't we hand it over to the police?"

Hearing these sounds, Qi Yuye immediately felt a headache coming on.

He rubbed his temples, trying to think of a solution. When Nan Shu saw him like this, her heart softened, and she couldn't help but speak up.

"Mr. Qi, since you believe in my innocence, I cannot betray your trust. Could you give me a few days? I will definitely find out who leaked the company secrets!"

Upon hearing Nan Shu's words, Lin Xi's face was full of sarcasm.

"Nan Shu, isn't this just a case of the thief crying 'stop thief'? It's clearly you who did it. When will you ever find out anything?"

"Or are you trying to find a scapegoat and just get by like this?"

Just as Nan Shu was about to speak, Qi Yuye suddenly spoke up.

"This matter is not yet finalized. I believe in Nan Shu, and I hope you can be more patient. I guarantee with my integrity that Nan Shu is definitely not the kind of person who would do such a thing."

"Before this matter is settled, if any of you dare to pin this on Nan Shu, you're going against me."

Lin Xi never expected things to come to this point, with the company about to lose a large sum of money. It was clear that anyone could have easily made up for the losses, and Nan Shu, as the chief designer, was the best candidate.

However, Qi Yuye still trusted Nan Shu completely and insisted on protecting Lin Xi, which Lin Xi found unbearable.

"Qi Yuye! Why are you always so protective of her?"

"Isn't it obvious in the photo? She was the only person from our company there that day, and she was chatting happily with this person, as if they already knew each other!"

"If you don't believe me, you can find the person in charge of the exhibition that day and get all the people who attended!"

Lin Xi was agitated, wishing he could immediately find these witnesses and make sure Nan Shu died without a burial place.

"How do you know so much about what happened on the day of the exhibition? And about the leak of the company's design drafts?"

Nan Shu never expected that one problem would be solved only for another to arise.

"I did go to that exhibition that day, but if we're talking about other people here who also went there, then according to what you're saying, wouldn't everyone who went to that exhibition be a suspect?"

Nan Shu's words made sense, and many people in the conference room nodded in agreement.

Lin Xi frowned, looking at Nan Shu with a wary expression.

"Don't try to stir up trouble with your words; people won't fall for it!"

Despite Lin Xi's unwarranted slander and targeting, Nan Shu was not flustered at all. On the contrary, she felt more confident that the truth would eventually come out.

"What's wrong? I only said half of it, I didn't say who I ran into there, why are you panicking?"

"Are you feeling guilty, so you're eager to shut me up?"
