Chapter 42: I Became a Spy
Pei Xingzhi's expression immediately became serious: "What clue?"
Qin Song organized his words and explained in detail the relationship between Qiangsheng Design and Weilan Studio, and the interactions between Zhou Liming and Lu Yibai.
Pei Xingzhi immediately grasped the key point after hearing this: "So the plagiarism incident was deliberately planned by Lu Yibai to confuse the public?"
Qin Song nodded: "That's right."
Ye Ci: "But plagiarism is indeed true. I carefully checked the design inspiration and R&D ideas of that product and found that they are highly consistent with those of Weilan Studio. But every step of Weilan Studio's R&D was ahead of Pei Group. Even if I don't want to admit it, I have to say that this is indeed plagiarism."
Qin Song: "The plagiarism is indeed true, and the rights protection video of Weilan Studio is not fake. But have you ever thought that the person who made this plagiarized product is not an employee of Pei Group?"
"..." Ye Ci was stunned for a moment. He stared at Pei Xingzhi blankly. After a moment, his face suddenly turned pale. "Sister-in-law, what you mean is that someone sneaked into the Pei Group and deliberately made a plagiarized product?"
Although these words were spoken in a questioning tone, Ye Ci had already confirmed it in his heart.
This plagiarism scandal came suddenly, and the Pei Group, which was in internal chaos, was completely unprepared. Ye Ci was extremely busy at that time and finally found time to deal with this matter. But before he could conduct a thorough investigation, Pei Group went bankrupt. Let's just leave it at that.
If Qin Song hadn't suddenly brought it up, he probably wouldn't have thought of this matter for a while.
"This is the only possibility." Pei Xingzhi said in a cold voice with a gloomy face.
Ye Ci reacted quickly, and after calming down his chaotic emotions, he immediately said, "I still have the list of Pei Group employees in my computer. Give me some time, and I will definitely be able to find that person."
Pei Xingzhi curled his lips and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
"The general manager of Qiangsheng Design is the boss of Weilan Studio, and Zhou Limin has close ties with Lu Yibai. If I can successfully join Qiangsheng Design, I will have a great chance to get close to Zhou Limin!"
Pei Lingxuan finally figured out the key point.
Qin Song looked at her with relief: "Everything that happens leaves traces. Everything in this world will leave traces as long as it happens. It has only been two months since the Pei Group went bankrupt. There should be a lot of things on Zhou Limin that we can discover."
"I'll go!" Pei Lingxuan took the initiative to take on this task without any hesitation. "I am now an employee of Qiangsheng Design. No one can get closer to Zhou Limin than me."
Ye Ci didn't think so: "You are Brother Pei's sister, Zhou Limin definitely knows you. If he finds out that you are in Qiangsheng Design, there is an 80% chance that he will find a reason to kick you out."
Pei Lingxuan was unwilling to accept the result: "There is an 80% chance that I will be kicked out, but there is still a 20% chance that I will be kept."
Ye Ci: "Even if you stay, you can't get close to him. He is a dog raised by Lu Yibai. If you show up in his company, he will definitely complain to Lu Yibai first. Lu Yibai is the most cautious, he will never allow Zhou Limin to keep a hidden danger around him."
"...Don't be so absolute." Qin Song pulled his hand back and pinched his lips subconsciously. "Lu Yibai handled this matter very carefully. He knew that we would not be able to find out."
"Xiao Xuan used to be the daughter of the Pei family, but now she can only be a small financial assistant in Zhou Limin's company. This extreme contrast will satisfy their abnormal psychology, just like Sun Jianguo."
"So I think there is a 50% chance that Zhou Limin will keep Xiaoxuan. However, Xiaoxuan's job in there may not be that easy."
"It doesn't matter." Pei Lingxuan smiled indifferently, "It's nothing more than working overtime every day and having to face the boss's bad face. As long as I can find evidence that they are plotting against my brother, I will accept it no matter how hard or tiring it is."
"Have you thought it through?" Pei Xingzhi asked seriously.
"I've made up my mind." Pei Lingxuan's eyes were firm, without any fear. "This is a rare opportunity. I will stay in Qiangsheng Design no matter what. That group of people hurt our Pei family so badly. I will never let them go."
Pei Xingzhi exhaled slowly, hesitated for a few seconds, and nodded: "Okay. But don't tell Mom about this for the time being. Mom is already tired enough, and I don't want her to worry about us anymore."
Pei Lingxuan: "Don't worry, brother. I know what's going on."
"Um, sister-in-law, I want to ask you a question, but I don't know if it's appropriate." Ye Ci hesitated for a long time, but still couldn't help but opened his mouth.
Qin Song looked at him with a smile: "What's the problem?"
"Ahem..." Ye Ci cleared his throat, looking a little embarrassed. "That's right, you were very close to Lu Yibai before. Since he is willing to reveal all these things to you, can you think about it again and see if you can think of any other clues?"
"That's all I can remember right now." Qin Song sighed helplessly, "Lu Yibai is a shrewd man, he can't possibly let me know more. I didn't spend much time with him, so I really don't know anything else."
"...Okay." Ye Ci had already expected this answer, he just asked this question because he felt a little unwilling.
"Xingzhi? Have you finished talking about your personal affairs? The police have made some discoveries."
Just as the matter was settled, Shen Yanhui's voice was heard at the door.
Pei Xingzhi did not rush to answer, but subconsciously turned his head to look at Qin Song. Qin Song blinked to show his agreement, and then he said, "Okay, I'll come out now."
"Okay! I'll wait for you." Shen Yanhui's voice was obviously filled with laughter.
"Let's go." Qin Song stood up from the chair first, opened the door and walked out.
"Do it!"
Shen Yanhui happily rushed to the door to pick up Pei Xingzhi, but unexpectedly when the door opened, the first person to come out was Qin Song.
“…”
Seeing Qin Song’s annoying face, Shen Yanhui couldn’t laugh anymore.
"Unlucky..." She rolled her eyes at Qin Song, took a few steps back, and distanced herself from Qin Song with great disgust.
Qin Song didn't mind, and the smile on his face grew even wider.
"Xingzhi." She called Pei Xingzhi's name sweetly and stretched out her right hand behind her.
"I'm coming." Pei Xingzhi sensibly held her hand and walked past Shen Yanhui with her.
“…”
Shen Yanhui was so angry that his face turned green.
"Ahem, ahem..." Pei Lingxuan walked out of the room, trying not to laugh. She looked as if she hadn't seen anything. "Sister Yan Hui, didn't the police say they had found something? Let's go over and take a look."
