Chapter 149 Pray to Heaven, Discern Loyalty from Treachery

After receiving guidance from Jiang Shiyuan, Ye Yu had a plan in mind.

Three days later, at Dingming Law Firm.

In the evening, near the end of the workday, Guan Na contacted Lin Zhixin via WeChat on her computer:

【Xinxin, how have you been lately? Why haven't you contacted me?】

It took quite a while for Lin Zhixin to return, and she wasn't nearly as warm as she had been a few days ago.

[It's alright, the R&D department is just too busy.]

[I've taken care of what I did for you last time. How was it? Did it help you, Mr. Xie?]

【Um. 】

Guan Na was secretly delighted and frantically typed on the keyboard:

"That's great! In that case, I'll send you my resume. You can show it to Mr. Xie when you have time. My resume is very extensive. Although I mostly handle divorce cases now, I used to be an economics lawyer with an outstanding track record, which can be verified."

Once I join Xie's legal department, we can look out for each other. If Mr. Xie ever decides to divorce his unlucky wife, I will spare no effort to ensure that Jiang Shiyuan leaves with nothing and cuts all ties with Mr. Xie completely!

Lin Zhixin didn't reply for a long time.

Just as Guan Na was about to ask further questions, an internal law firm notification popped up on her screen:

[Please proceed to the fifth-floor conference room in ten minutes for a meeting. The situation is urgent, and everyone's attendance is essential. Please reply upon receipt.]

There was constant discontent in the office:

"Ugh, this is so annoying! There are only ten minutes left before I have to leave work, and now I won't be able to leave on time again!"

"My life is more miserable than an iced Americano!"

"Think about it from another angle, you'll get to see Mr. Ye again—he's 1.88 meters tall, has a face that's perfect for his looks, and is incredibly handsome. It's worth working overtime!"

"I wonder if anything good will happen today? I ran into President Ye this afternoon. He looked terrible and was talking to Xiao Qi in his office. It's the first time I've ever seen President Ye so angry!"

Guan Na appeared to be calmly touching up her makeup, but in reality, she was eavesdropping on her colleagues' conversation.

"Alright, alright, we'll know in a few minutes anyway!"

...

Ten minutes later, everyone gathered in the conference room.

Ye Yu, impeccably dressed in a suit, sat atop the conference table, his expression cold and stern, his sharp, analytical gaze sweeping over everyone present.

Guan Na sat at the very end, not daring to meet his gaze.

"The reason I called everyone here today is because something big happened at the law firm last night."

Ye Yu twirled the pen in his hand, exuding a chilling aura. "My office has been burgled."

Everyone: "What?!"

Guan Na panicked so much that her heart was pounding, and she pricked her thumb with the tip of her nose.

"I can't disclose the specifics of what I lost, but I can say that it was very important to me."

Ye Yu looked around at everyone and said, “You have all worked with me for a while, and although I am reluctant to doubt you, the thief is indeed among you.”

Someone asked, "Mr. Ye, have you checked the surveillance footage?"

"We investigated, but found nothing."

Ye Yu suddenly leaned back, the pen between his slender fingers spinning rapidly, as if he had gained some confidence. "However, I have already reported the case to the police station. The police told me that even if the surveillance footage is deleted, there will still be traces left if a crime is committed."

Tomorrow they will send people over to take everyone's fingerprints and collect DNA. Then they will go to the scene to collect evidence and compare it with everyone's fingerprints and DNA. Who is the thief and who is the mole will be revealed very quickly.

Everyone nodded in agreement, expressing their support.

Only Guan Na's face turned deathly pale, her heart pounding in her throat!

Although she didn't steal anything, she sneaked into Ye Yu's office and tampered with the safe. If this is found out, she'll be in deep trouble!

No, that won't do!

No matter what method we use, we can't let the police trace it back to her!

...

After the meeting, Ye Yu and Xiao Qi went down to the underground parking lot and got into their car.

"Have you noticed anyone acting strangely?" Ye Yu asked, his expression somber.

Xiao Qi shook his head, "I can't tell... the two bad guys really don't have it written on their faces."

Ye Yu sneered through gritted teeth, "Ha, my mere little law firm actually has such a capable person who dares to make a fool of himself in silence. It's true what they say, a small temple has a lot of evil winds, and a shallow pond has many turtles."

Xiao Qi: "President Ye, I'm not one of those bastards, am I?"

"Then let's see if you have a good heart and if you do a good job."

Ye Yu raised an eyebrow and joked, "If you don't do a good job, you'll be one of the ones who fail. If you do a good job, you'll be a toad."

Xiao Qi's face darkened. "What's the difference...?"

"There's a big difference. Look up Deepseek."

As he spoke, Ye Yu dialed Jiang Shiyuan's number.

"Senior brother." A sweet voice came from the other end.

Ye Yu's heartstrings twitched, and he asked gently, "A-Yuan, are you resting?"

"I'm having dinner now, Senior Brother, have you finished your meeting?" Jiang Shiyuan's tone was intriguing.

"Just finished driving."

Ye Yu sighed softly, "But I still can't figure out who the ghost is."

Jiang Shiyuan, despite being the victim, acted very relaxed:

"It's alright, just put pressure on them. As for the rest, let Heaven decide who is loyal and who is treacherous."

...

After getting off work, Guan Na rushed home in a panic, not even having an appetite. She paced back and forth in her room, frequently checking her watch.

And so they stayed up until it got dark and the night was deep.

She changed into a black tracksuit, wore a baseball cap, and took a taxi back to the law firm.

It seemed like even the heavens were on his side; the night watchman at the entrance had gone to the toilet. She was secretly delighted and sneaked in unnoticed, swiping her card to enter and taking the elevator directly to Ye Yu's office on the top floor.

Practice makes perfect, and this time Guan Na was smarter; she wore leather gloves when she committed the crime.

He's really starting to look like a professional thief.

After Guan Na entered the password, the office door opened.

At that moment, she was so focused on going inside to wipe away all her fingerprints that she was completely unaware of why the office password hadn't been changed despite the burglary.

She first skillfully covered the camera, then tiptoed to the safe, took out a handkerchief, and wiped the entire safe until it shone.

Having finished everything, Guan Na breathed a sigh of relief and was just about to retreat when she heard a loud crack above her head—

The next second, the once pitch-black office was as bright as day, like a net that caught the sneaky Guan Na red-handed!

"Don't move!"

Xiao Qi led the security personnel in, rushing in first and surrounding the stunned Guan Na in the center.

Immediately, Ye Yu stepped in expressionlessly, his cold gaze towards her exuding a strong sense of intimidation.

"Mr. Ye..." Guan Na's mind went blank; she was terrified.

Ye Yu paused, then suddenly smiled, "What are you doing in my office so late, Attorney Guan?"

"I...I want to check the client's information..." Guan Na's voice was trembling.

"Oh? Is that so? What information are you looking for that requires you to come so late at night, block the security cameras, and clean my safe so thoroughly."

As he spoke, Ye Yu slowly raised his phone.

The video playing on the screen recorded the entire process of Guan Na committing the crime.

There was a hidden camera in this office!

Guan Na staggered back two steps, her legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground.

At this moment, Ye Yu's huge office truly resembled a grand stage.

And she was just like a clown who had reached the end of his rope.

The following afternoon.

After a period of rest, Jiang Shiyuan recovered quickly and can now go for walks and sunbathe in the garden on her own without the aid of a wheelchair.

"Miss."

Jiang Shiyuan, who was sitting on a bench basking in the sunlight, opened her eyes and was surprised to see a little girl in a hospital gown standing in front of her.

"Miss, my balloon is stuck on the treetop... Could you help me get it down? I can't reach it." The little girl looked at her expectantly.

"Okay, I'll help you."

Aunt Jiang was in a good mood because she wasn't called "Auntie." She got up, walked to the tree, and stood on tiptoe to grab the balloon.

However, Jiang Shiyuan couldn't touch it either.

She jumped again, but still fell short.

Jiang Shiyuan's stubborn temper flared up again. She rubbed her hands together, ready to climb the tree to pick the fruit, when she suddenly felt a familiar scent coming from behind her.

Immediately afterwards, a man's deep, slightly hoarse, and sexy breathing came from above.

She looked up in surprise, and Fu Chenzhou's superior and sharp jawline came into full view.

My heart skipped a beat for no reason.

"Aunt Jiang, are you a three-year-old? If I don't watch you for a day, you'll climb a tree?" Fu Chenzhou easily took down the helium balloon without even straightening his arm.

Jiang Shiyuan blushed instantly and nervously rubbed her hands on her pants.

As if punishing her, the man gently tapped her head with a balloon, making a popping sound.

"You're so clumsy, if you can climb up there, then a pig can too."
