Chapter 170 You're a real disappointment
The weather in Jiangcheng in May has already started to get hot.
As the weather gets hotter, snakes start to stir.
That day, Shi Yuanxing received a message from Jing Muchi: "The snake has emerged from its hole."
Shi Yuanxing looked at the message, his eyes darkening. He turned to Li Sheng beside him and instructed, "Keep a close eye on Qiao Wenbo's movements."
Li Sheng: "Yes."
A seemingly calm month has passed.
One day in early June, Jing Muchi sent Shi Yuanxing a message: "[Time to close the net.]"
Shi Yuanxing's eyes turned cold, and he immediately sent a message to Li Sheng.
Two days later, one evening.
Shi Yuanxing appeared at Shi Qingman's residence.
He knew that Qiao Wenbo hadn't been staying here recently.
When he presented Shi Qingman with irrefutable evidence of Qiao Wenbo's smuggling and embezzlement of public funds, her face gradually lost all color, and her hands and even her whole body trembled violently as she held the evidence.
After a long pause, she slammed the documents in her hand to the ground, stood up abruptly, and glared angrily at Shi Yuanxing, "You even resorted to framing him to attack me?"
Shi Yuanxing met her gaze with a deep look. "If I were trying to hurt you, this document wouldn't be here today; it would be in front of Dad."
Shi Qingman's pupils contracted sharply.
"I think you can tell whether this evidence is true or false."
Shi Qingman clenched her trembling hands tightly, biting her lip, and remained silent.
“I told you a long time ago that I have no intention of returning to the group, and I will not compete with you for anything, but I am a member of the Shi family.”
Shi Yuanxing's face was serious as he said, word by word, "I will absolutely not allow those with ulterior motives to damage or destroy the Shi family's business."
Shi Qingman's eyes reddened, and she hurriedly said, "Wenbo is not that kind of person."
"Are you sure you really know your fiancé?" Shi Yuanxing stared at her intently.
Shi Qingman's heart trembled violently.
In the past, she would have given Shi Yuanxing a definite answer without hesitation, even if it was harsh and stern.
But now...
Thinking of what Qiao Wenbo had done behind the scenes to prepare for the marriage, and his lukewarm attitude towards her recent attempts to ease the tension, Shi Qingman ultimately fell silent.
Even she herself questioned herself: "Does she really understand him?"
Shi Yuanxing glanced at her. "You should be very familiar with Wang Yuan from the finance department."
Shi Qingman suddenly looked at him.
She knew that this person was promoted by Qiao Wenbo.
"As the accounting manager in charge of the Shengrui project cooperation, he has confessed to embezzling public funds and revealed that the mastermind behind it all was Qiao Wenbo. Wang Yuan has handed over records of the abnormal inflows and outflows of company funds, as well as evidence of his private dealings with Qiao Wenbo."
Shi Yuanxing glanced at the scattered documents on the floor, then placed a USB drive on the table. "All the evidence is in here."
Shi Qingman stared at the USB drive on the table, her body swayed, and she looked at Shi Yuanxing with a pale face.
"I'm handing this over to you not to argue with you, but simply to give you the initiative in dealing with this person."
Shi Yuanxing glanced at her face again, then stood up. "You handle it."
He started to walk out, but stopped at the door.
You only have one night.
His voice was cold and deep. "If Qiao Wenbo is not taken away by the relevant authorities before nine o'clock tomorrow morning, I will personally go to report the case."
After saying that, he opened the door and left.

Qin Shuzhi knew what Shi Yuanxing had been doing tonight. When she saw him standing on the balcony after he returned, looking deep and thoughtful, she went over and silently hugged him from behind.
Shi Yuanxing paused slightly, then reached out and grasped her hand that was wrapped around his waist.
Qin Shuzhi pressed her head against his broad back, as if she could hear every breath he took in his chest.
"You've done everything you could for your sister," she comforted softly.
"She has to get through this on her own; no one can do it for her."
Shi Yuanxing turned around, looked down at her, and smiled. "Yes, I know."
Just as he was about to say something more, his cell phone rang in his pocket.
Upon seeing that it was Li Sheng calling, Shi Yuanxing immediately answered.
The next second, Li Sheng's slightly anxious voice came from the other end, "President Shi, Qiao Wenbo has escaped."
"What happened?"
Shi Yuanxing's eyes darkened. "Didn't I tell you to keep a close eye on them tonight?"
"The person in charge of monitoring Qiao Wenbo reported that he left the company an hour ago, went to a mixed-race nightclub, and then disappeared there."
Seeing that Shi Yuanxing remained silent, Li Sheng cautiously spoke up, "We've been very discreet. Logically, Qiao Wenbo shouldn't have noticed anything amiss, much less make such a swift attempt to escape. Mr. Shi, could it be the young lady...?"
Shi Yuanxing closed his eyes briefly. "The most urgent thing is to find the person. Tell your men to go look for them first. I'll be there in a bit."
Qin Shuzhi overheard their conversation and saw Shi Yuanxing hang up the phone with a sullen face. She was also filled with anxiety. "What do we do now? Has he already escaped Jiangcheng?"
"No, I have already fortified all the channels leading to other places. There is no way he can escape."
He couldn't possibly not make contingency plans.
Shi Yuanxing lowered his head and kissed her forehead, then patted her head. "It's okay, I'm going out for a bit. You go to sleep first, okay?"
Qin Shuzhi knew she couldn't help with these matters, and all she could do was not cause him any trouble, so she obediently nodded, "Okay, be careful."

The night passed without result.
The next morning, Shi Yuanxing had just come out of Qiao Wenbo's apartment near the company when he ran into Shi Qingman, who was rushing over.
When Shi Qingman saw him there, she was stunned for a moment, then asked nervously, "What are you doing here?"
Shi Yuanxing didn't answer her question, but just looked at her intently, "You really disappoint me."
Before Shi Qingman could speak, she heard hurried footsteps behind her. She turned around and saw Li Sheng walking anxiously to Shi Yuanxing's side with a serious expression.
"Mr. Shi, Qiao Wenbo also stole the core design data of Xingwei R&D."
Shi Yuanxing's eyes suddenly turned cold and fierce.
"What, what did you say?"
Shi Qingman rushed to Li Sheng, so shocked that she feared she had misheard.
"You're saying Wenbo stole the company's...research and development data?"
The research and development work of Starmicro has not yet been officially launched. The design data is not made public, and the core research and development part is a top secret document, which only a few senior executives of the company have the opportunity to access.
Qiao Wenbo doesn't have that authority yet, but he is the highest person in charge of this project. He can mobilize the R&D team to cooperate, so he naturally has the opportunity to steal the design results.
If this information were to leak out, it would be a huge blow to the yet-to-be-released Xingwei series, and even to the entire Shi Group.
Shi Yuanxing took a deep breath before looking intently at Shi Qingman, "When you let him go, did you consider this consequence?"
