Chapter 100 Confusing the Facts
Fu Xuan was completely dumbfounded.
He couldn't help but press, "What exactly are you trying to do? Miaomiao, don't do anything reckless, okay?"
“I’m not going to do anything reckless. I’m going to find the mole. I’m not doing this to help Zhu Jin. I’m doing it for myself.”
Shen Shuangmiao clenched her fists, her tone firm.
She didn't want to be caught in the middle, watching the two fight to the death, only to have either side suffer heavy losses and then be branded as the instigator, the beginning of all the trouble.
With this in mind, Shen Shuangmiao made up her mind.
But she couldn't do it herself; she couldn't give Zhu Jin any more false hope or expectation.
Zhou Wu.
Shen Shuangmiao's eyes lit up.
Even though Zhou Wu was hostile towards her, this woman's care and protection for Zhu Jin was undeniable.
Moreover, if Zhou Wu were to speak, Zhu Jin would be more likely to believe her and less likely to suspect her.
Without further hesitation, Shen Shuangmiao immediately dialed Zhou Wu's number.
When the call connected, Zhou Wu's tone carried his usual hint of impatience.
"Chen Shuangmiao? What are you planning to do now?"
Shen Shuangmiao ignored her attitude and went straight to the point: "Ms. Zhou, to make a long story short, Zhao Mobai has two subordinates in Zhu Jin Company, one a shareholder and the other a senior executive of a core project."
"If Zhu Jin doesn't take precautions soon, he will suffer a crushing defeat this time."
Zhou Wu was taken aback.
Shen Shuangmiao emphasized: "I'm telling you this not to help him, nor because I still have feelings for him. I just don't want the two of them to fight to the death and ruin the life I've worked so hard to achieve."
“I hope they can compete fairly. Perhaps Zhao Mobai will give up if he sees no profit to be made. As for whether to believe it or not, and how to handle it, that’s your and Zhu Jin’s business.”
"When you tell him this, please don't mention me. Just say that you found it yourself."
Shen Shuangmiao finished speaking in one breath and hung up the phone before Zhou Wu could respond.
That's all she can do.
The rest is up to fate.
On the other end of the phone.
Zhou Wu held the phone, a look of shock flashing across his face at first, followed by some anger.
She knew that Shen Shuangmiao's resoluteness was just an act, but now she couldn't help but care about Zhu Jinjiu.
pity.
She would absolutely not let Zhu Jin know about Shen Shuangmiao's good intentions.
Zhou Wu immediately set off to find Zhu Jin.
Zhu's Group, President's Office.
Zhu Jin was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, lost in thought.
“Ah Jin”.
Zhou Wu stepped forward, his face filled with worry and urgency.
"I've found out something very important."
Zhu Jin turned around and looked at her calmly: "What is it?"
Zhou Wu lowered his voice: "Zhao Mobai has planted a mole by your side. It's a shareholder surnamed Wang and an executive in charge of the core technology module. You should investigate them as soon as possible."
Zhu Jin paused for a moment, but there was no surprise on his face.
Zhou Wu carefully observed his reaction and said calmly, "Shen Shuangmiao should have known about this a long time ago. She couldn't possibly be unaware of Zhao Mobai's actions. Now she and Zhao Mobai are joining forces to deal with you. Don't be confused."
Zhu Jin's eyes instantly became dark and unfathomable.
Zhou Wu sneered inwardly: "Right now, all she wants is to live a peaceful life with Zhao Mobai. She'd love for you to lose, for you to go bankrupt, so that you'll no longer have the ability to bother her."
"Ah Jin, wake up! She doesn't care about you at all. She even wishes you were dead!"
After she finished speaking, she looked forward to seeing utter despair and resignation on Zhu Jin's face.
She felt that Zhu Jin should finally give up on Shen Shuangmiao this time.
However, Zhu Jin's reaction was completely unexpected.
He didn't fly into a rage, didn't question, and didn't even show the slightest emotional fluctuation.
Zhu Jin simply stood there quietly, his gaze passing over her, as if looking towards some distant, unseen place.
Silence fell over the office.
Zhou Wu's heart sank little by little.
This silence was stranger than any reaction she had anticipated.
Did he actually believe it? What was he really thinking?
"Ah Jin?"
Zhou Wu couldn't help but call out.
Zhu Jin finally slowly withdrew his gaze and landed on her face. His eyes were frighteningly calm, like a bottomless lake, without the slightest ripple.
"I see."
He spoke, his voice devoid of any emotion, "You should go back now."
Zhou Wu paused.
Zhu Jin didn't press for details, nor did he show anger; he simply said, "I understand," without any further explanation.
Zhou Wu was getting anxious.
This was not at all the script she had envisioned.
"Ah Jin, you..."
She wanted to say something more, but Zhu Jin had already turned around and faced the French windows again, leaving her with only a cold and distant back view, clearly indicating that he wanted to see her out.
Zhou Wu's words were stuck in his throat, and an indescribable sense of frustration welled up in his heart.
She went to great lengths to make Zhu Jin give up on her.
But this is how he reacted. Did he even listen to what she said?
Zhou Wu clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms.
In the end, she said nothing more, and left the office with a belly full of doubts.
The door was gently closed.
In the office, only Zhu Jin remained.
He remained standing there, a faint, complex emotion slowly appearing on his face.
"Shen Shuangmiao, do you really want to see me go bankrupt?"
...
The next day.
Shen Shuangmiao returned to China after finishing her business trip.
After the plane landed, the first thing she did after turning on her phone was to contact Zhou Wu.
"Did you relay what I told you before? Has he made any move?"
Zhou Wu's tone carried an indescribable irritation.
"No."
"After I told him, he didn't say anything and just let me go. After that, I didn't see him do anything special. Everything was normal."
"Shen Shuangmiao, I really don't understand what he's thinking!"
Zhou Wu's voice carried a hint of frustration.
"I've said everything I needed to say, but he just didn't react at all."
Shen Shuangmiao was stunned when she heard Zhou Wu's words.
What exactly is Zhu Jin doing?
Knowing full well that there was a mole among his men, and knowing that Zhao Mobai had laid a trap for him, he remained unmoved.
Is he truly giving up on himself and acting recklessly, or does he have other plans?
Shen Shuangmiao took a deep breath, her tone regaining its calm and indifferent tone.
"I see."
"I have delivered the message. His choice is his business, and from now on, his affairs are none of my concern."
After saying that, Shen Shuangmiao hung up the phone.
She has done everything she could and should have done.
He has done everything in his power to be benevolent and righteous.
If Zhu Jin insists on jumping into the fire pit, can she really stop him?
She and he had nothing to do with each other anymore.
Shen Shuangmiao took a taxi directly back to the studio.
When Fu Xuan saw her return, he quickly followed her into the office.
"What about you and Zhu Jin..."
"It's nothing, don't ask anymore. No matter how Zhu Jin and Zhao Mobai want to fight, it's none of my business."
Shen Shuangmiao interrupted him, not wanting to bring up the matter again.
Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Fu Xuan didn't ask any more questions.
He nodded: "Then you should get some rest. I'll be going now."
Shen Shuangmiao nodded and said nothing more.
She didn't go home to rest; she continued working.
As evening approached, Zhao Mobai's car pulled up downstairs at the studio.
He came in, smiled, and said, "Why didn't you tell me you were coming back from your business trip?"
Shen Shuangmiao looked up from the pile of documents: "I was too busy and forgot to tell you."
"It's okay, let's go, I'll take you to eat."
Zhao Mobai shook the car keys in his hand.
Shen Shuangmiao got up and left with him.
