Chapter 206: Chapter 206: Thorough Investigation! Dismissal! Trapped!

Even though she had her suspicions, Xining didn’t immediately make a judgment.

She took the watch from the drawer and handed it back to him, reminding Ji Muye to thoroughly check his female secretary.

“There’s something else I need to remind you of.”

She told him about the time at Fuxian Hotel when Shen Molin opened the door wearing a revealing nightgown.

Ji Muye’s eyes narrowed, “You believed it?”

“No.”

Xining replied decisively. She wasn’t deceived by preconceived notions; she simply didn’t care.

Having escaped from marriage, she discovered how terrifyingly rational she could be.

However, her response didn’t relieve him. From the depths of Xining’s eyes, he saw her indifference.

Remembering the day she spoke of, and Xining’s attitude in the following days, his heart ached, his body tensed, and Ji Muye felt a great sense of crisis and a blow to his ego.

The purpose behind Xining bringing up the incident was to urge him to be vigilant—a seduction strategy wasn’t unusual in the competitive business market.

Now that she had told Ji Muye about their daughter, chances were that the person who might have installed listening devices heard it.

She was worried that they might harm Lu Nuonuo.

“Even though you are Nuonuo’s father, there is still a probationary period. Whether she willingly calls you ‘Dad’ all depends on your ability.”

“As her mother, I have only one requirement: I don’t want to see any harm come to the three children because of a woman you brought around.”

“This is your territory in Jingzhou. If anyone can harm your children, it only proves your lack of ability and your incompetence as a father.”

Blood ties are hard to break, but they are not eternal shackles.

Xining spoke decisively, “Indecision only breeds trouble.”

Ji Muye, taking her words to heart, also worried that Shen Molin might be as she described, not a good person, possibly causing a situation like that with Liu Xixi, and hurting the three children.

He had just reconciled with his daughter and hadn’t yet gained Little Dumpling’s acceptance; he couldn’t let her face any danger because of him.

“I will look into it and won’t let her hurt the children.”

Xining: “That’s what you said initially…”

Ji Muye had no rebuttal to that.

Before leaving the Lu Family, Ji Muye specifically found his daughter in the toy house, dressing up a pink little fox.

“Nuonuo…”

Little Dumpling turned her head when she heard the sound, still addressing him, “Uncle～”

Though disheartened, Ji Muye could understand the child.

He knelt on one knee beside Little Dumpling and opened his arms, “Hmm, uncle is leaving. Can I hug Nuonuo?”

“Yes, you can.”

Little Dumpling generously gave him a big hug.

However, as the child embraced him, Ji Muye felt an indescribable emotion.

He kissed the top of the child’s head with a gentle look in his eyes.

“Nuonuo, it’s because daddy didn’t take good care of you and mommy, and if you don’t want to call me dad, I understand.”

“Daddy is willing to wait, wait for the day you’re willing to call me dad.”

Lu Nuonuo lifted her head from his arms, her smile radiant, encouraging him, “Uncle, keep up the good effort.”

Ji Muye released her, “Alright, uncle will keep up the effort.”

As he walked to the door of the toy house, he suddenly heard Little Dumpling say from behind, “Uncle, Nuonuo has mommy, uncle, and godmother…”

“They all love Nuonuo oh.”

Her subtext was a wish that he shouldn’t feel too sad.

Love is not confined to roles.

Although Ji Muye missed out on playing the father role, she never lacked the love of elders and always received plenty of affection.

She waved the pink little fox in her hand at him, “Uncle, goodbye.”

This time, it wasn’t just a farewell.

It was goodbye.

After leaving the Lu family that day, Ji Muye returned to the company.

He called Yan Dong into his office and instructed him, “Get me the list of projects handled by Shen Molin.”

Yan Dong immediately complied.

Ji Muye had already suspected that Shen Molin was up to no good and had intentionally kept her close to himself to catch her slipping. However, she was indeed clever; during this time, the projects she followed, especially the Fengshan project, had not shown a single flaw.

After reviewing those projects again, he quickly identified new issues.

Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.

Apart from having the same supplier, these projects had another inconsistency—at least several of the project managers had jumped ship from Renji Pharmaceutical.

“The Fengshan project’s scheme can be wrapped up.”

“Also, form an investigative team to reexamine all the projects she has handled.”

Shen Molin, having risen from a mere assistant to one of the top presidential secretaries, naturally stood out in capability and tactics compared to her peers.

Ji Muye said, “Continue to search for evidence of her collusion with Qin Luyao.”

Knowing there were doubts about Shen Molin’s identity, Yan Dong had been following Ji Muye’s instructions.

He had Yan Dong send her another secret email, which was actually a computer virus that would directly monitor her computer.

Currently, Shen Molin was unaware that they were suspecting her, but Lu Xining’s words had sounded the alarm for her.

Recalling the secrets she heard through the surveillance equipment, she made a covert decision.

In the past few days, Shen Molin had taken medical leave for an ear issue, providing a perfect duration for an internal company investigation.

Ji Muye had just returned from a business trip abroad, accompanied by a previously competent male secretary.

In the office, Yan Dong, who stayed at the company to conduct verification, reported the latest investigative findings to him immediately; the evidence was conclusive.

“President Ji, it’s all organized.”

“Here’s another document personally collated by Secretary Wang; he saw Secretary Shen secretly get into Chairman Qin’s car from Renji Pharmaceutical.”

Secretary Wang was the man who had envied Shen Molin for getting a bonus, often eavesdropping on her calls after work and following her multiple times.

Ji Muye went through all the documents.

Confirming Shen Molin’s identity as a corporate spy, he coldly ordered, “Have HR prepare her termination contract and pursue her for the damages she has caused to the company.”

“Send one to Secretary Wang as well.”

Although Shen Molin was no good person, Secretary Wang, who had resorted to such low means due to jealousy over a colleague’s bonus, also failed in terms of character.

Not clearing him out now would lead to bigger mistakes later.

After a hectic week, Ji Muye pinched his slightly swollen brow and was just about to rest his eyes when he received a call from Mr. Ji.

Hearing what the other party said, his expression soured further.

After a second divorce, Mr. Ji had been driven out of the old mansion by Old Sir Ji, leaving him a small apartment of less than a hundred square meters.

When Ji Muye arrived at the apartment, it was just time for dinner.

He rang the doorbell.

Mr. Ji had long been waiting inside for him to come, greeting him warmly upon seeing him, “My son is here, come on in.”

Ji Muye responded distantly, “Hand it over.”

If it weren’t for Mr. Ji claiming to have found the diary left by his mother, Ji Muye wouldn’t have come here, nor would he want to see him again.

His mother indeed had the habit of writing a diary, but before her death, she destroyed everything related to her.

Even Ji Muye had nothing left of his mother.

He was here not out of nostalgia for his mother, but rather to prevent this man from desecrating her belongings.

“It’s been a long time since we’ve had a meal together. I was wrong in the past, and I apologize to you. I don’t expect your forgiveness, but let’s have one last meal with dad.”

Mr. Ji said, “After we eat, I’ll give you the diary!”

The simple four dishes and one soup were prepared by a part-time worker, and although Ji Muye sat at the dining table, he did not touch his chopsticks.

Nevertheless, his eyelids grew heavier.

“You little brat, still trying to compete with your dad? You’re still too naive!”

Mr. Ji, wearing a gas mask, came out from the bathroom and turned off the humidifier next to the dining table that had been loaded with a heavy sedative, then made a phone call.

Soon, the door to the apartment was opened from outside.

Adorned in a red dress, Shen Molin looked at the man slumped unconscious at the dining table, a sinister ruthlessness flashing in her eyes.

Just moments before, she had received her termination notice from the Shi’an Group; previously, she had confirmed with Yan Dong when to return to work.

Luckily, she had prepared for the worst.

Mr. Ji carried Ji Muye to the guest room and completely removed his upper clothing before instructing the incoming Shen Molin, “Hurry up!”
