Xia Xi had predicted it right. Zhang Wanli blamed Chengbai's failure on Jiang Tian, thinking that Jiang Tian and Xia Xi had teamed up to cheat him. He was so angry that he had nowhere to vent, so he immediately called Jiang Tian.

Jiang Tian, who was in the office, saw the caller ID on his mobile phone. He stood up with a guilty conscience and locked the door to prevent anyone from rushing in and catching him doing what he was doing.

He walked to the sofa and sat down, then answered the phone with a respectful and flattering attitude: "Vice President Zhang, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Don't call me Vice President Zhang!" Zhang Wanli was furious and said coldly, "You Boya guys are really good at scheming! Working together from the inside and outside, you've mastered the counter-espionage scheme to perfection."

Jiang Tian was shocked: "Vice President Zhang, I don't understand what you are saying."

"You're still pretending, the show is over!" Zhang Wanli didn't believe him at all. "I was careless and fell into your trap."

Jiang Tian was increasingly puzzled. "Vice President Zhang, please explain clearly. Why am I pretending? You promised me that if I succeeded, you would give me one million. In addition, if I switched to Chengbai in the future, you would give me a higher position and better treatment. Now that you are saying this, are you not going to admit your mistake?"

Zhang Wanli sneered. This guy is too immersed in the role and can't get out, right?

Jiang Tian believed that Vice President Zhang was ungrateful and unwilling to fulfill his promise, so he put aside his flattering attitude and said righteously, "Although Chengbai didn't win in the end, it was decided by the vote, not by me. I gave you Boya's design plan according to your request. You can't go back on your word."

Jiang Tian's words at this moment were like adding fuel to the fire. Zhang Wanli suddenly exploded and roared into the phone: "How dare you mention the design plan to me! You used a fake one to lure me into taking the bait and tricked me into a loop. I'll record this!"

No, something is wrong. Jiang Tian realized that there was a problem and panicked. "The design I gave you is absolutely true. Although I don't know why they have a backup plan, I didn't lie to you."

"Oh."

"Vice President Zhang, listen to me..."

Zhang Wanli didn't want to hear his explanation and directly hung up the phone. Jiang Tian stood there with his mouth open. A panic ran up from his spine, spreading all the way to the back of his neck and brain.

It was a very cold day and the indoor air conditioner was set to a suitable temperature, but Jiang Tian felt as if he had been splashed with ice water and his whole body was cold.

What went wrong?

Before Jiang Tian could figure out what was going on, there was a knock on the door. It was so sudden that he was frightened and trembled. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, tried hard to adjust his expression so as not to show any abnormality, and then went to open the door.

The person outside the door was Pei Yichuan who had returned.

Jiang Tian hesitated for a moment and asked, "Why are you here again?"

"Oh, I can't find my phone anywhere. Maybe I left it here with you." Pei Yichuan smiled harmlessly, "I'll come look for it."

Jiang Tian didn't suspect anything at this point and let Pei Yichuan in.

Pei Yichuan pretended to search on the sofa he had just sat on, and finally he really found it, in the crack of the sofa. When he picked it up, the phone screen was still on, and the number showing the duration on the recording interface was jumping.

He pressed pause, calmly put his phone in his pocket, and said to Jiang Tian with a fake smile: "Let's go."

After Pei Yichuan went out, he couldn't wait to plug in his headphones to listen to the recording, his face becoming more and more gloomy.

Just as Xia Xi had predicted, Jiang Tian would definitely reveal something during their dog-eat-dog fight. Now that the evidence was complete, it was impossible for Jiang Tian to deny it.

Pei Yichuan listened to it once and didn't want to listen to it a second time, so he gave the recording to Xia Xi.

After the morning work, some people went to restaurants near the office building to eat, some stayed in the company to order takeout, or brought their own lunch boxes and heated them up in the microwave.

Jiang Tian had been panicking ever since he received Zhang Wanli's call. All sorts of speculations were running through his mind. He didn't know if he had been exposed, and he didn't dare to ask for confirmation. If he revealed any flaws and aroused suspicion, he wouldn't be able to stay at the company, and Zhang Wanli wouldn't offer him the high-paying position they had agreed to, leaving him completely unemployed.

Just when he was too anxious to eat, Xia Xi came to find him.

She didn't even knock on the door and broke into his office. After she came in, the door was left open. Then came Pei Yichuan and Gao Ge. After a while, other members of their group also came.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Tian's bad premonition in his mind became stronger, but he was the type who would not cry until he saw the coffin, so he asked calmly: "What is this for?"

Xia Xi didn't play tricks on him and said bluntly: "You stole the design and gave it to Zhang Wanli."

She had suspected many people before, but she never thought it would be him.

Jiang Tian felt his heart plummet as if it had been weighed down. His face turned pale, but he was certain they couldn't produce any evidence, so he refused to admit it. "It wasn't me."

Xia Xi didn't waste time talking to him and looked at Pei Yichuan, who raised his lip and smiled, like teasing a cat. He first took out the surveillance video as evidence and threw it in front of Jiang Tian: "The day you came to my house to ask me out for dinner, you saw my computer in the living room and copied our design plan with a USB drive."

Jiang Tian's face changed slightly when he saw the surveillance video on his phone. He never thought that Pei Yichuan's home was equipped with a camera that recorded his actions.

Pei Yichuan sneered: "I think, even if my computer wasn't in the living room that day, you would have found another way to get the design plan from me. It's just that you came by chance, and I happened to be working at home, which provided you with convenience."

Jiang Tian swallowed hard, trying to find a reasonable excuse for his behavior, but he couldn't find one. He couldn't explain why he had touched Pei Yichuan's computer, let alone why he took the USB drive and plugged it into his computer.
