Mingyuan, for the first time, did not harm me.
He said slowly, "This is your first time managing such a large group, so it's normal to make some mistakes. But since you've decided to take over Huake, you must be smart and pay attention to everything you see and hear."
I nodded and carefully wrote down Mingyuan's words.
But there are some things I still can't figure out.
"Chen Ting never told anyone about the harassment and didn't even dare to call the police. How did you find out all this?"
Mingyuan shrugged. "I really can't find anything. I've been secretly sending people to investigate, but I haven't found any evidence that Chen Ting has any leverage over Chen Fan. I just think it's strange that a capable and beautiful woman like Chen Ting is willing to work under Chen Fan, so I have people keeping an eye on her."
Sure enough, Mingyuan had the same guess as me.
"The person I sent to follow her said that Chen Ting would volunteer at a stray cat rescue center every weekend. And that day at Qiu Qiu's cat cafe, after you and my sister left, I chatted with Qiu Qiu and learned that she had also volunteered at that center and had met Chen Ting before, but they weren't familiar with each other."
I was a little surprised that Mingyuan and Qiu Qiu actually talked so much after Mingsi and I left that day.
A smile suddenly appeared on Mingyuan's lips: "So I made a deal with Qiu Qiu that day, asking her to find a way to investigate Chen Ting."
I suddenly remembered how mysterious Qiu Qiu was when she called me that night. It turned out that this was the deal she made with Mingyuan. No wonder Qiu Qiu refused to tell me at the time. She wanted to find out more before telling me.
Because of the deal with Mingyuan, Qiu Qiu went to the base to find the old president who was acquainted with Chen Ting, and talked with the old president for a long time.
"The old president said Chen Ting was a very kind person, but she always seemed unhappy. He overheard her talking to a stray cat one day, saying something like someone was threatening her and she wanted to escape but couldn't."
What Mingyuan said was naturally what Qiu Qiu told him.
However, it was these words that made Mingyuan immediately connect all this with Chen Fan.
I roughly guessed what was going to happen next, so I asked tentatively, "So you asked Qiu Qiu to investigate Chen Fan?"
"Yeah." Mingyuan said lightly, "I just asked Qiu Qiu to hack into Chen Fan's computer to see if he could find any clues. As a result, he accidentally found Chen Ting's nude photos and the chat records that Chen Fan shared with his friends back then. That's how he found out what happened back then."
Mingyuan's series of operations sound fine, but I don't quite understand why he asked Qiu Qiu to do it?
With Mingyuan's technical ability, hacking into Chen Fan's computer was a piece of cake. He had no need to use Qiu Qiu's hand to investigate the matter, and he even made a deal with Qiu Qiu.
I asked directly, "You can obviously investigate on your own. If you find the truth, I'll owe you this favor. Why would you ask Qiu Qiu to do it for you?"
"I've heard from my sister before that your best friend is a computer expert, a rare female hacker who has helped you a lot. Since she's praised so highly, I'm a little curious about her skills, so I wanted to test her level." Mingyuan raised an eyebrow, snorted coldly, and said disapprovingly, "Besides, why do I need your favor?"
