Night Rose

Top Chain cleared out an empty conference room. The people sitting at half a table in the large conference room all looked towards the door.

Su Jin's team consisted of only three people, one of whom was in a wheelchair. They were less imposing than their opponents, but they were there to seek justice and were not afraid of such hypocritical pretense.

Li Qi took off his mask, and everyone saw his haggard face, gasping in shock.

When he re-entered Top Chain Company, he returned in anger. After scanning the room, he accurately located the woman hiding behind Lu Mingzhou.

A stranger's face; he didn't recognize her.

But Li Qi had a gut feeling that the woman was the intern who had made a mistake. Hiding behind Lu Mingzhou, she seemed weak and helpless, but her appearance was repulsive.

Su Jin pushed the wheelchair in and sat down at the other end of the long table.

The last time she entered the meeting room was as an employee of Toplink; this time, she stood on the opposite side of Toplink.

It doesn't matter; she had already witnessed the ruthlessness of the top chain.

Su Jin pushed up her glasses, and her gaze met Lu Mingzhou's. When Lu Mingzhou saw Su Jin's new outfit, he was clearly taken aback, and a hint of amazement and appreciation flashed in his eyes.

Seeing that the two were staring at each other and hadn't looked away, Xu Jingyi grabbed his clothes and whispered, "Brother, I'm scared."

"Don't be afraid." Lu Mingzhou patted her arm.

The president of Topchain sat at the long table, staring at Su Jin without saying a word. The look of a superior often carried contempt and disdain. He believed that Su Jin was wasting Topchain's time and resources.

The head of the engineering department cleared his throat and began the conversation, "Su Jin, hello. I'm the head of the engineering department. We've met before at work. I'll be in charge of leading this project. Please tell me your needs first."

Su Jin nodded to the lawyer, who understood and distributed a copy of the documents to everyone present.

The president glanced at it, completely unconcerned, and gave the person in charge a look.

The person in charge quickly and carefully looked at the information. He breathed a sigh of relief. This information was the same as the online leak, but it was more comprehensive and uncensored than the online version.

Anyone familiar with racing car engineering can spot the problem at a glance.

"My demand is that the company clear my name. I admit to what I did, but don't try to smear me for what I didn't do. The cause of the racing accident was actually that a set of lug nuts on the left front wheel were maliciously replaced."

The documents you have show that the only data point from the previous day that was altered was the tires at 11:23 PM; the bolt numbers on the left front tire were changed. However, I left work at 8 PM the day before the rally race; the company can check my get off work log.

The person in charge said in a low voice, "I checked the records, and Su Jin did indeed leave work at eight o'clock."

"Li, who has been in a nightmare-like coma for three months, can attest to my words. He felt something was wrong with the left front tire while driving."

"Then why didn't you bring it up then? Why bring it up later? It's hard not to suspect that you two conspired to deceive the company. When I took people to see Li Qi, you also went there. What a coincidence, and he only saw you. Could it be that you two have some kind of unspeakable relationship?" Lu Mingzhou said loudly.

No one in the company knew about their romantic relationship. Lu Mingzhou was also the main person in charge of this accident, but the final punishment only fell on the engineer. One can imagine how much behind-the-scenes manipulation was involved.

"You!" Li Qi became agitated and slapped the wheelchair. He tried to stand up, but forgot that he had lost muscle mass and could not stand up on his own.

Su Jin calmly pressed down on his shoulder and gave him a reassuring look.

"Never mind what he's spouting; our goal isn't to argue with them about this."

After Su Jin finished speaking, she laughed at herself. Spending so much time with Zhou Zheng had made her speech habits become vulgar.

"Manager Lu, if you dare to say this to Li's fans, I'll consider you a man. But you're just making things unclear about our relationship in the meeting room. Shouldn't you think about your own actions?" Su Jin said.

She sat calmly, unlike Lu Mingzhou who was jumping up and down. Those present already had their own guesses about who was right and who was wrong.

"Let's not get sidetracked. Let's get this straight. The evidence I have is that intern Xu Jingyi not only altered my data, but before that, she also modified parts of the race car, attempting to murder me for money."

When the charge of murder for money was leveled against her, Xu Jingyi's face turned deathly pale. She lowered her head, her eyes brimming with tears.

"No, it wasn't me! You've got it wrong! It wasn't me!"

"Whether it was you or not, just check the surveillance footage. There are surveillance cameras where the race cars are stored, and there are surveillance cameras in the office. As long as you check who changed the data, it will be clear at a glance, right?" Su Jin sneered.

Lu Mingzhou slammed his fist on the table and stood up, completely losing his composure.

"Su Jin, Jingyi said she just accidentally touched your computer and didn't change your data! This matter is over, why are you causing trouble for Dinglian again?"

Su Jin chuckled and coldly questioned.

"The end? When Top Chain pushed me into the spotlight and had to withstand public opinion, when I couldn't even find a job in the industry, when Contestant Li was lying in a coma in the hospital, why didn't you think about the troubles I was in with him?"

"Li is a living, breathing human being! Someone tampered with the racing data and almost killed him. This is a criminal case, and it should have been filed!"

"But you're wrong, it wasn't her at all! She didn't do anything in the surveillance footage," Lu Mingzhou said angrily, pulling Xu Jingyi behind him.

The president snapped his fingers, slightly easing the tense atmosphere in the conference room.

"Check the security footage."

The person in charge immediately plugged the USB drive into the computer and opened the video.

"The office surveillance footage is cleared every two months, so we can't find it anymore. But we found the video from the garage. As you said, Xu Jingyi did go to your race car storage garage, but she didn't do anything. She just stayed there for a while and then left."

"How is that possible?" Su Jin frowned.

A one-minute accelerated video unfolded on the screen, showing the car that Li Qi and Su Jin both recognized in the garage. Suddenly, a figure appeared in the previously empty garage.

She was wearing work clothes, and her hair was styled in a bun on top of her head like Su Jin's. Just looking at her from behind, she actually looked somewhat similar to Su Jin.

The person in charge remarked, "I almost mistook her for you; thankfully, she made it into one frame."

Su Jin looked at Xu Jingyi in the video. She had the same hair accessory on her head that day.

If it weren't for that one frame, almost everyone would have mistaken Xu Jingyi for her.

Hsu Ching-yi deliberately dressed up as her!
