"The burden of her family rests entirely on her shoulders..."
The rest was left unsaid; they both understood the unspoken meaning.
She bears the heavy burden of the family; her younger brother still needs to go to school and get married, and her parents are often ill, requiring money for every single expense.
Bai Yajing sighed slightly. This woman was definitely not cut out for doing bad things; everything was written all over her face.
How shallow and cunning!
“Ouyang, don’t let your guard down. Someone like her who can’t keep a secret might be a smokescreen put out by the other side.”
The actual implementation was carried out by someone else…
Ouyang nodded in agreement. "Yes, I understand. I'll keep an eye on it!"
"Well, once this is over, let's find a suitable reason to fire them!"
Ouyang felt a warmth in his heart upon hearing this. The factory manager was still as kind as ever; even after all that, he still didn't go so far as to wipe them out.
Since the other party's defection was not announced to the public, nor was any record added to her file, she will still have the opportunity to work elsewhere in the future.
"Yes! I understand!"
When Bai Yajing got home that evening, she told her grandmother about it.
"She's definitely a corporate spy sent by Yuan Xin! He's still the same old him!" Grandma was furious. "Fire her tomorrow!"
"No," Bai Yajing shook her head slightly, "It would be better to alert the enemy than to make things worse. I think that given Yuan Xin's temperament, things shouldn't be that simple. The most likely scenario is that Xu Lijuan is just a pawn put out on the surface, and the real person who stole the prescription hasn't been caught yet."
Grandma thought about it and agreed. After a moment of contemplation, she had an idea: "Then let's lure the person out!"
The next day, Ouyang accidentally dropped a revised draft prescription in front of Xu Lijuan's workstation.
Sure enough, during lunch break, Ouyang and Bai Yajing saw Xu Lijuan secretly copying down the paper through the office window.
Late that night, Bai Yajing received a call from the factory's security personnel on duty, saying that someone had broken into the ingredient preparation room.
She rushed over immediately, and Ouyang arrived just in time.
The two of them crept over and bumped into Xu Lijuan and a familiar-looking man searching for something.
"Stop!" Ouyang shouted.
Xu Lijuan turned pale with fright, but the man lunged at her fiercely. Fortunately, Ouyang was prepared and quickly dodged, grabbing a stick from the side and striking him.
Two strong security guards who followed them quickly subdued the two men.
Bai Yajing looked at the man carefully and then remembered that he had entered the company earlier than Xu Lijuan, but he was not from the technical team; he was a quality inspector.
He was usually quiet and reserved, with a very low profile, so she didn't recognize him at first glance!
When the police arrived, they found the draft prescription on the man.
Xu Lijuan could only cry, so frightened she couldn't even speak properly. The man, on the other hand, was very calm; since he had failed, he had nothing to say.
If you want to live a good life, you have to give it your all. He doesn't think he did anything wrong; he was just unlucky.
The evidence was irrefutable, and the two were taken away immediately.
Bai Yajing shook her head and sighed, "What a pity!"
Ouyang knew what she was regretting. He had originally planned to let her go, but she was stubborn and wouldn't listen.
"The factory manager is really clever. He guessed that this woman was too timid. Even if she got the draft prescription, she would still have a companion when checking the ingredients."
Bai Yajing waved her hand expressionlessly. "That's human nature."
Xu Lijuan wasn't the type to do big things, nor did she have that kind of ruthlessness. Not only was she incompetent enough to avoid the security patrols, but she was also terrified and dared not act alone in such a dangerous situation.
The next morning, the police got everything out of Xu Lijuan. With that, Yuan Xin's conspiracy was completely exposed.
