Please, mature women, have some self-respect. I just want a raise and a promotion.

After thinking it over carefully, Lin Zheng quickly figured it out.

Xu Xiumei must have betrayed him long ago and had been having an affair with her lover.

The reason for reporting Zhang Wenshan this time was to allow the adulterer to rise to power.

However, these are all his assumptions.

He wanted to investigate whether this was really the case.

Lin Zheng suppressed his anger and humiliation, took a USB drive and a few pieces of clothing from the storage room, and left the rented room.

Just as I closed the door, my cell phone rang. It was Xu Xiumei calling.

"I heard that the investigation into you has been terminated within the group?"

As soon as the call connected, Xu Xiumei pretended to be concerned and asked questions.

Lin Zheng felt nauseous and became even more certain that the adulterer was an insider in the group; otherwise, Xu Xiumei wouldn't have gotten the news so quickly.

"Who told you that?" Lin Zheng asked.

"This...this...you...where are you right now?"

Xu Xiumei's voice trembled slightly, and she quickly changed the subject.

"I'm at home, and I'm getting ready to go out now," Lin Zheng said.

"ah…"

Xu Xiumei couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, saying nervously, "Why didn't you tell me you were going home beforehand?"

"I...I just cleaned the whole house to welcome you back."

Cleaning up to welcome me back?

You're cleaning up the scene of the theft.

Lin Zheng felt nauseous and didn't bother with any small talk with Xu Xiumei. He asked coldly, "Is there anything else?"

Sensing that Lin Zheng's tone was off, Xu Xiumei became even more nervous.

"Lin Zheng, what's wrong with you?"

"It's alright, let's leave it at that for now."

Lin Zheng didn't want to say another word and hung up the phone directly.

He and Xu Xiumei have nothing left to say to each other now.

As for that scoundrel's infidelity, he will not expose her for the time being.

The most crucial thing right now is to find out the secrets on the USB drive and secure my position within the company.

I worked hard for five whole years after graduating from university to achieve what I have today.

We absolutely cannot let Zhang Wenshan's future be ruined like this.

Zhou Xia's situation has stabilized, but to gain a firm foothold, she needs to find a reliable new backer.

Before his accident, Zhang Wenshan gave him the USB drive, only telling him some things inside and instructing him to keep it safe as a precaution.

At the time, he did not realize the destructive power of the USB drive.

It wasn't until Zhou Xia obediently gave in today that he realized the importance of the USB drive.

It is also necessary to investigate whether the person who reported Zhang Wenshan was having an affair with Xu Xiumei.

This adulterer might be the one who instigated Xu Xiumei to report him.

After hanging up Xu Xiumei's phone, Lin Zheng found a fast food restaurant to grab a bite, and then headed straight for Teng Hua Group.

Such a powerful weapon cannot be safely stored on a USB drive.

He had to download it using a computer and save it in several parts for safety.

When I returned to Tenghua Group, it was already past working hours.

The security guard at the gate had a good relationship with Lin Zheng, so he greeted him and let him in.

By this time, everyone in the office had left, and Lin Zheng went straight to his own office.

However, when he arrived at the office, he found that the door had already been locked.

How could I have forgotten about this?

After Zhang Wenshan's incident, the project team was temporarily taken over by project manager Zhang Wenhai.

He now has all the keys to the office.

Lin Zheng patted his head and turned to walk back.

The group's security department has spare keys to the offices; he just needs to register to get the keys and open the doors.

Halfway there, Lin Zheng noticed that the office lights across the street were still on.

"Chen Kexin?"

"It's so late, why isn't she home yet?"

Tenghua Group does not require overtime work and does not encourage it.

As the Secretary-General of the Secretariat of Tenghua Group's Office, Chen Kexin would be even less likely to take the lead in breaking this rule.

"Is he working overtime to prepare materials for his candidacy for Zhang Wenshan's position?"

Lin Zheng looked puzzled, having also heard rumors that Chen Kexin was going to compete with Zhou Xia.

If that's the case, then we could talk to Chen Kexin.

Lin Zheng thought for a moment, then slowly walked towards Chen Kexin's office.

The office door was locked from the inside, but the curtains were not drawn on the transparent glass windows.

As Lin Zheng reached the door and was about to knock, the sound coming from inside made him stop.

That was Chen Kexin's deep voice, sounding both pained and pleasurable.

"This..." Lin Zheng was completely stunned.

Even a fool would know what's going on with that sound.

Is Chen Kexin having an office romance with a man?

Judging from the sound, the two seem to be engrossed in their conversation.

Which man is it?

Is it someone from head office?

Or is he a senior executive at a branch office?

Lin Zheng's interest was immediately piqued.

He pressed his body against the door and slowly stretched his head out of the glass window.

This…

There were no men in the office, only a pair of beautiful legs raised high and propped up on the desk.

Chen Kexin sat in her office chair, her face flushed, her eyes fixed on the phone screen propped up on her desk.

She was so engrossed in her work that she didn't notice Lin Zheng peeking through the window.

I watched the videos on my phone while trying to comfort myself.

Lin Zheng's mouth went dry at the sight, and he really wanted to go in and help Chen Kexin.

He reached out to push the door open, but then stopped after thinking about it.

If Chen Kexin needs his help, that's fine; everyone gets what they need and things go peacefully.

If Chen Kexin overreacts and shouts, things will get really serious when the security guards arrive.

Chen Kexin's husband is Li Hui, the vice president of the group.

It is said that he will be transferred to a government department next month to be in charge of development and construction, wielding immense power.

To protect her reputation, she will definitely accuse herself of rape.

However, appreciating something is not illegal.

After calming down, Lin Zheng took out his phone and started taking pictures of the office through the window.

Chen Kexin wields considerable power, and people will definitely need her help in the future.

With these secrets, I might be able to make a deal with her.

After taking a few photos, Lin Zhengcai put his phone away, satisfied.

Looking at the photos inside, Lin Zheng looked puzzled.

Li Hui is only in his early forties and takes good care of himself, so in theory he should be able to meet the requirements.

Is it because Chen Kexin is too strong in that area?

Lin Zhengmao crouched down, zoomed in on the photos on his phone, stared intently at them, and admired them from multiple angles.

It took him a while to remember that he had come here on official business.

He put away his phone, preparing to leave quietly, but forgot that he was currently right below Chen Kexin's office window.

As soon as he stood up, he was exposed.

Upon seeing the suddenly appearing figure, Chen Kexin woke up instantly.

She quickly pulled her legs back up from the desk, and her phone was thrown aside in her panic; the video inside was too disturbing to look at.

We've been spotted! Run!

A thought flashed through Lin Zheng's mind, and without saying a word, he rushed towards the stairwell. Now he only hoped that Chen Kexin hadn't seen him clearly.

As soon as he stepped into the hallway, Chen Kexin opened the office door.

Seeing the familiar figure from behind, Chen Kexin stomped her feet in anger.

"Lin Zheng, you're shameless! You actually took pictures of me without my permission."

"You can run away, but you can't hide. You just wait, I will definitely not let you get away with this."

Lin Zheng froze. Oh no, Chen Kexin had recognized him.

He gritted his teeth, and in the end, he ran away down the stairs without looking back.

Chen Kexin was so angry that she jumped up and down, and an angry voice came from behind her.

"Lin Zheng, you just wait, I'm not done with you yet."

Hearing Chen Kexin's angry threats, Lin Zheng's heart pounded in his chest.

Once Chen Kexin tells Li Hui about this...

Given Li Hui's style of doing things and the power he wields, he certainly won't let him off the hook.
