Lin Zhaojiang's eyes darkened.
If this matter is exposed by someone with ulterior motives, not only will Liu Yunkang bear legal responsibility, but Song Wan will also be held accountable if the matter is investigated.
After all, that email came from Liu Yunkang's email address and was only sent to Song Wan.
Lin Zhaojiang immediately realized that this was unusual.
"Wanwan, go back and pack your things. I'll find you another place to stay. Don't meet with anyone or answer any calls from unknown numbers during this time... Leave this to me, I'll handle it."
"Don't be nervous." Song Wan chuckled and reached out to rub his cheek. "Actually, I didn't answer any questions."
"What?"
“When I saw the first question, I thought it was a coincidence, but as I read on, I felt something was off.” She told him, “So I only answered the first part of the first test paper, and I didn’t answer the interview questions as I had prepared. I talked nonsense, and the examiners shook their heads.”
Lin Zhaojiang was stunned for a few seconds, then suddenly laughed.
A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He never expected that the little white rabbit would turn into a little tabby cat with sharp claws, now knowing how to protect itself.
"Even so, you still can't clear your name; that email still exists."
“I know,” she whispered, “but this is the best I can think of to protect myself.”
Lin Zhaojiang embraced her, and with a lowered head, his lips touched her soft face.
"It's alright, you did a great job." The man's voice was deep. "Don't worry about the rest, I'll handle it."
"How do you plan to solve this?"
“That email is obviously problematic,” Lin Zhaojiang said with certainty. “I suspect it might be from Liu Yunkang’s arch-enemy. After all, he has been in this industry for so many years and has criticized many people. Perhaps some of them have suffered losses and are now making a big fuss about this matter.”
“But he sent the email to you.” Lin Zhaojiang looked at her. “That’s the most unusual thing! This person isn’t just targeting him, but also you!”

There had been no news of Liu Yunkang for the past two days, and even Lin Zhaojiang couldn't reach him. However, two days later, Liu Yunkang's lawyer took the initiative to visit him.
"Mr. Lin!" The lawyer looked anxious. "Mr. Liu was reported for leaking exam questions and has now been taken away for investigation by the relevant authorities!"
"Hmm." Lin Zhaojiang replied calmly, as this was within his expectations.
“Mr. Lin, Mr. Liu is innocent.” The lawyer licked his dry lips. “I’ve been talking to him and investigating for the past two days… He sent exam questions to an email address before, but that account was hacked!”
"Has someone stolen Liu Yunkang's account?"
"Yes!"
"Have you found out who it is?"
The lawyer shook his head. "This is quite difficult; it will take more time."
"Did you find out who else Liu Yunkang sent this test paper to with that email address?"
"There's only that one email address, nothing else!"
Lin Zhaojiang's expression shifted slightly.
Did someone hack Liu Yunkang's account and deliberately leak exam questions to Song Wan?
Just as he expected, this person was targeting both Liu Yunkang and Song Wan at the same time!
In other words, this person is most likely not Liu Yunkang's mortal enemy, but Song Wan's!
"Mr. Lin, what do you think about this matter..."
"I understand." Lin Zhaojiang waved his hand. "Right now, as long as Liu Yunkang sticks to his story and says his email was hacked, the relevant departments don't have any more conclusive evidence to prove that he leaked the exam questions. So go back and tell him to stay put for a couple more days. I've arranged for the legal department of Zhonglin Group to assist you in investigating the truth!"
The lawyer was overjoyed, thanked him repeatedly, and left.
Lin Zhaojiang leaned back in his chair, his brows furrowed.
As for who that person was, he already had someone he suspected.
but……
Could it really be her?
Liu Yunkang had been kind to her after all, so why would she be so cruel to her mentor?

After much effort, Wu An'an finally managed to arrange to meet Xiao Liran for afternoon tea.
This time she was smarter. Instead of staying at such an expensive hotel like last time, she found a newly opened coffee shop online. The decor was great, the reviews were good, and they were having a big opening sale with coupons available.
The most important thing is quiet.
The café was a small white building nestled among the trees, like a jewel hidden away in the world. It had a very artistic vibe, and she was certain Xiao Liran would like it.
And today, it was as if even God was on her side. The entire afternoon was just her and Xiao Liran, as if the place had been cleared out, and no one else was interrupting her conversation.
"Mr. Xiao!" Upon meeting, Wu An'an pushed a caramel macchiato towards him with a fawning expression. "I just ordered it. The temperature and sweetness are exactly as you requested. Please try it!"
Xiao Liran smiled, glanced at it, and didn't move.
Wu An'an then took out a delicate little box.
"I picked this out especially for you," she said with a smile. "I fell in love with this style at first sight; it's elegant, simple, and sophisticated, and it suits your style perfectly!"
Xiao Liran took a look; it was a platinum necklace. It wasn't particularly expensive, but it certainly wasn't cheap either.
Wu An'an saved money on the meeting place, but she spared no expense on the gifts.
However, Xiao Liran has worn countless nice things, and this necklace is really too ordinary in her jewelry box.
"Editor-in-Chief Wu, you're too kind!" Xiao Liran closed the lid and pushed it back to her. "I can't accept something for nothing. Why would I ask for your things for no reason? That's not fair!"
"Mr. Xiao, what are you saying!" Wu An'an's eyes widened. "How can it be considered 'no merit'? Didn't you promise me last time..."
"Oh, you mean Song Wan?"
Wu An'an beamed and nodded vigorously.
"What a pity, I haven't been able to see her these past few days!" Xiao Liran feigned disappointment. "It seems Lin Zhaojiang has hidden her very well; outsiders can't get in touch with her at all!"
Wu An paused for a moment, a smug expression on his face. It seemed that Song Wan had probably been taken away for investigation as well!
Liu Yunkang leaked the exam questions, so how could Song Wan, as a beneficiary, remain uninvolved?
"Hey, Editor-in-Chief Wu!" Xiao Liran leaned closer to her, "Is there any other way to get in touch with Song Wan? I can't wait to see what happens when she and Lin Zhaojiang have a falling out!"
“Mr. Xiao, to be honest,” Wu An’an said with a smile, “you probably won’t be able to see her recently.”
"What?"
"She cheated on the exam and cannot escape legal responsibility!"
"An exam?" Xiao Liran narrowed her eyes slightly. "Then... how did you know she cheated on the exam? Besides, there must be evidence of cheating, right?"
"Mr. Xiao, please don't ask about that." Wu An'an was still somewhat alert. "In short, she's in big trouble this time. I'm afraid even President Lin can't protect her!"
