Chapter 59 Spy [VIP]

Lin Zhihua had just closed her computer and drank the milk on the table when her cell phone suddenly vibrated twice.

She was a little surprised when she saw the sender's name. After clicking on the message, her brows furrowed.

"Why is the Zhou family everywhere?" She murmured, called the other party back with a number, thought for a moment, and sent him the social news from two years ago.

Fu Shengyan walked over, picked up the empty cup next to the computer, and raised his eyebrows slightly. "What bad things have you done? Why are you smiling so happily?"

Lin Zhihua snorted softly, "Who did anything bad? I'm doing good things that benefit the country and the people."

Fu Shengyan laughed: "Alright, little ancestor, go back to your room and sleep when you are done."

"I see." Lin Zhihua curled her lips slightly and whispered, "It's becoming more and more like before..."

"What did you say?" Fu Shengyan suddenly turned around and looked at her, startling her.

Her mind raced, and in a moment of panic, she shouted, "I want to ask if you're going to work tomorrow. Ever since you lost your memory, you haven't taken on a case in almost two months."

Fu Shengyan didn't know what he was thinking about, his eyes turned a little resentful: "Zhizhi, do you dislike me being a lazy bum at home?"

Lin Zhihua coughed lightly. "How could that be? I'm the only one earning money at home. Ah Yan sends me to work every day and even brings me lunch. He's so hardworking and capable, how could he be called a parasite?"

I don't know what words comforted him, but Fu Shengyan's face turned from gloomy to cloudy. "Then I'll go to the institute tomorrow."

That night, when most people were still asleep, the live video of Zhou Miaoting's fall into the water had already been uploaded to the Internet.

After fermenting overnight, the video revealing the truth was pushed to the top of the hot searches by indignant netizens. After being reposted by Hengan Pharmaceutical's official Weibo, it was also reposted by Yan Jie's agency, and the artists under its agency also voiced their support, and its influence continued to expand.

By the time Yan Jie woke up, public opinion online had already exploded. Millions of people were waiting in the live broadcast room of "Entering Intangible Cultural Heritage" before it even started. Many people left messages under the official account, asking the program team to kick Zhou Miaoting out.

The netizens’ protest was so overwhelming that Zhou Miaoting’s fans couldn’t even wash away the noise.

The director team realized that this was a good opportunity to gain traffic and popularity, so they waved their hands and started the live broadcast half an hour earlier.

"Holy crap, it's open! The live broadcast room is finally open!"

"Get Zhou Miaoting out! You're such a troublemaker!"

"I was jealous when I saw our Yinyin win first place yesterday! The fall was an accident, but how do you wash the wound if you deliberately scratched yourself with a sharp object in the water?"

"Don't try to be a fan, fans like this will end up in jail."

"The production team, stop playing dead! What kind of a "popular idol" is this? This stupid and evil thing, get out of here right now! I'm so pissed off!"

This is not the end yet.

As soon as the live broadcast of the episode "Exploring Intangible Cultural Heritage" was over, the official Weibo account issued a statement saying that the edited version would cut out the footage of a certain "unethical artist" and that someone else would replace her to record the next few episodes.

The program team was very tactful in taking advantage of the traffic and directly announced the time and place of the first episode.

Just as netizens finished expressing their admiration for the efficiency and bravery of the program crew, the next moment, negative news about Zhou Miaoting swept the hot searches.

Every hot search content is different.

This includes bullying newcomers in the entertainment industry, slapping people in the face and acting like a big shot, maliciously guiding fans to cyberbully ordinary people and small celebrities, and some resourceful netizens followed these clues and found out that Zhou Miaoting was the sister of the mastermind behind the sensational campus bullying case two years ago.

The once glamorous top star suddenly became a rat crossing the street that everyone wanted to beat, and the Zhou family’s family education was also questioned by the whole society.

“Clatter.”

Zhou Miaoting swept everything on the table to the floor, even the cup on the bedside was not spared, and was thrown against the door with a "bang".

The young assistant stood in the corner, cowering, with a trace of blood on his face from the flying sharp weapon.

"Damn it, how come this bitch Yan Zhuyin is so lucky?! Why! Why!" Her eyes were red and her facial features were distorted with anger. She picked up the chair and smashed it against the wall, her whole body shaking uncontrollably.

The young assistant didn't dare to respond, for fear that Zhou Miaoting would go crazy again.

"Fuck, this photographer is crazy! Who the hell would put a camera in the water?"

She took a step back and sat on the bed, taking a breath. After a moment, the madness and ferocity on her face gradually subsided, revealing a creepy smile.

"You're just a cheap, kept bastard. I want to see if your fans will still like you after they know your true face."

She glanced at the assistant in the corner and said coldly, "Give me your phone."

The assistant handed the phone over tremblingly.

Zhou Miaoting called her agent and was immediately bombarded with abuse: "What a bunch of rubbish! It's been so long since you deleted the post and can't you even remove it from the trending search?"

The agent on the other end was almost crying: "Miss, it's not that we don't want to withdraw, but they won't allow it, and there's no way to delete all the posts..."

She sneered, "Say Yan Zhuyin is being kept by Li Yingqi, and push the trending search down."

She felt a little embarrassed. "But Li Yingqi had just posted on Weibo not long ago, saying that he and Yan Zhuyin were in a romantic relationship. Hengan Pharmaceutical's Weibo posts were getting less and less likes. The smile on her face froze a little.

Zhou Miaoting probably came to her senses now and realized that the person who bullied her was most likely Li Yingqi.

, dialed a number.

"Brother, help me."

Fu Shengyan put down the Criminal Code and reference book in his hand and looked at: "Assistant Yu, what is Zhizhi doing now?"

Yu Yao sorted through the documents on his computer and said without looking up, "He's probably in a meeting right now. Lawyer Fu, you should go see Mr. Lin in an hour."

Fu Shengyan snorted softly and took out a telescope from the cabinet. "No, I need to see if my wife has finished the meeting."

Yu Yao was speechless after hearing this. The conference room was equipped with double-sided glass, and you couldn't see inside from the outside.

The camera was aimed at the familiar window. He adjusted the focus and saw the scene in the office clearly through the blinds.

Fu Shengyan's brows suddenly frowned.

There are people in the office.

He immediately put down the binoculars in his hand and called Lin Zhihua.

Yu Yao saw this and reluctantly advised, "Lawyer Fu, Ms. Lin's phone is on silent during the meeting. If you want to know when she ends the meeting, you can call Secretary Ye..."

He spoke quickly, already leaving the office, "Someone is stealing documents from the president's office."

Yu Yao was shocked: "What?!"

Lin Zhihua supported her chin with her hand and listened carefully to Cheng Cheng's report on the latest upgraded quantum system.

Cheng Cheng stood in front of the light curtain, his fingertips tracing a set of parameter curves. He spoke in a steady voice, "After three rounds of tests, our researchers have confirmed that there are no problems with replacing the original rare metals with graphene. We are currently preparing for the fourth round of tests—"

Suddenly, the door of the conference room was pushed open from the outside.

"Sorry to interrupt." Jian Anning, wearing a white coat and with beads of sweat on his forehead, had obviously just rushed in from the laboratory. "Just now, the system discovered that Mr. Lin had retrieved the raw data of the quantum cooling system."

Lin Zhihua's heart sank suddenly.

She had been in a meeting here all morning, and the company's executives were also here. Who would use her authority to access core data at this time?

Secretary Ye glanced at his phone and his expression changed: "Boss Lin! Someone is in your office!"

Zhao Mingjian's permission card swiped across the elevator sensor. He tightly grasped the USB flash drive in his pocket, his palms already wet.

Thinking of the 20 million yuan salary promised by the other party and the employment notice from one of the top 100 companies in Country M, his heart became hot again.

"bite".

The elevator door opened and an unexpected person made him freeze.

"Where are you going?" Fu Shengyan leaned at the corner of the underground garage and looked at him leisurely.

"Fu, Lawyer Fu." Zhao Mingjian's Adam's apple rolled. He turned his head away, not daring to look directly into Fu Shengyan's eyes. "Why are you here?"

"I'm here to see my wife." Fu Shengyan stood up straight as if nothing had happened, stuffed his phone into his pocket and walked towards the elevator. "What about you? Where are you going?"

Zhao Mingjian forced himself to smile and pretended to be calm. "Team Leader Jian has a very important invoice and needs me to go to the bank..."

He moved away and was about to lift his leg to walk when Fu Shengyan put his hand on his shoulder.

"etc--"

He said coldly, "Don't leave in a hurry. Take out your cell phone and the things in your left pocket."

Zhao Mingjian's face turned pale instantly. He chuckled twice, "Lawyer Fu, what are you talking about? I really have something urgent to do. Team Leader Jian is urging me to come here."

"Oh? How come I didn't know that I had an urgent matter for you to do?" A cold voice echoed in the empty parking lot.

Zhao Mingjian turned around suddenly, and his heart sank instantly.

Lin Zhihua strode over with members of the R&D department and several security guards.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhao Mingjian tried to run away, but Fu Shengyan grabbed the back of his collar like a chicken, twisted his hand, and pushed him to the ground.

Lin Zhihua stopped two steps away, her face calm, her head slightly lowered, looking down at the man on the ground.

"You've been working at Zhixing Technology for three years, so you're considered a veteran. The salary I offer you is top-tier in the industry, and the benefits are no worse than those offered by top 100 companies domestically and internationally. Why?"

Zhao Mingjian's lips trembled, and he looked at Jian Anning fiercely, "...because of her!"

Jian Anning stood beside the restrained Zhao Mingjian, bent down to meet his hateful and angry gaze, and said in a calm tone, "It seems that Researcher Zhao has been dissatisfied with me for a long time."

Zhao Mingjian looked up, a twisted light surging in the depths of his eyes. "Your position should have belonged to me! Why? Just because I studied abroad in Country M for a few years? I endured for three years and was about to take this position, all because of you!"

Jian Anning took out his phone and USB drive from his pocket, turned around and handed them to Lin Zhihua with a cold attitude, "The competent one gets the job. Without me, you still can't be the deputy team leader. Xiao Wei is better than you."

Zhao Mingjian slammed his hands on the ground, his eyes filled with deeper resentment.

"I just can't stand your condescending attitude, you..."

"That's enough." Lin Zhihua interrupted him and signaled the bodyguard to pull the man up with her eyes. "If you have anything to say, go to the police station."
