Despite her despair, seeing Ding Shihui approaching, Liu Qingqing still weakly asked, "Tell me what's going on."
When she asked these questions, she was already mentally prepared to face the worst news.
However,
"Miss Liu, someone wants to see you!"
Ding Shihui pointed outside the coffee shop and lowered his voice, saying, "But she said she only saw you."
"Who?" Liu Qingqing asked instinctively.
Ding Shihui leaned close to Liu Qingqing's ear and whispered, "Yang Ju!"
"It's her?"
Liu Qingqing was somewhat confused.
First it was Kong Yuhe from branch number two, and then it was Li Wei from branch number one. So when she saw Ding Shihui, who was monitoring Yang Ju, come in, she thought that Yang Ju must have followed in the footsteps of Kong Yuhe and Li Wei.
Unexpectedly, Yang Ju came here to see her.
Could it be that things are not progressing as she imagined?
“She said it was an extremely urgent matter, but she only wanted to see you,” Ding Shihui said.
"Okay, bring her in."
After saying this to Ding Shihui, Liu Qingqing then said to Zhou Qin and Liu Feiyang, "You two should step aside for a moment; something seems amiss."
"good!"
The two didn't ask any further questions and immediately headed towards the back door of the coffee shop.
A moment later, he disappeared from Liu Qingqing's sight.
As for Ding Shihui, he quickly walked outside and returned with another person.
It was Yang Ju!
However, Yang Ju was not wearing a women's suit as before; instead, she was wearing a long robe and a hood.
When she came in, Yang Ju put her hood up and looked around, as if she was afraid of being recognized.
Having finally reached her, Yang Ju quickly shrank into a secluded corner and beckoned to Liu Qingqing, "Come here and talk."
"What exactly is going on?"
Liu Qingqing was completely confused, but she still went up to Yang Ju.
"We've been exposed!"
Yang Ju's face was filled with panic. "Wang Qian first discovered that Kong Yuhe, a saleswoman at the No. 2 branch, was problematic and arrested her. After that, Li Wei, a saleswoman at the No. 1 branch on Jinghao Street, was also taken away by Wang Qian."
"How did Wang Qian discover this?" Liu Qingqing pressed.
"That's what I wanted to ask you too."
Yang Ju looked anxious. "Is there something wrong with your people? Did they inform on Wang Qian?"
"My people?"
Liu Qingqing's eyes widened. "Impossible. My people are all very loyal and wouldn't betray me."
"How did Wang Qian discover that?"
Yang Ju became even more nervous. "Now that Kong Yuhe and Li Wei have been exposed, Wang Qian will definitely find out about me sooner or later. What should we do now?"
As she said this, Yang Ju looked helpless, her gaze towards Liu Qingqing filled with pleading.
Liu Qingqing's expression kept changing.
She had just suspected that Wang Qian's quick discovery of the problem between Kong Yuhe and Li Wei must have been due to someone secretly informing on him.
Now it seems that her guess was correct.
only,
Who could have tipped them off?
And who betrayed her?
"I can't stay too long, or I'll be in big trouble if Wang Qian finds out!"
Yang Ju said urgently, "By the way, Wang Qian is interrogating Kong Yuhe and Li Wei. I have to go back and check on them as soon as possible. I hope they won't implicate me."
"Are you going back now?"
Liu Qingqing grabbed Yang Ju, who was about to leave, and said, "Why don't you stay here?"
"No, I'll know how things are progressing as soon as I get back."
After a pause, Yang Ju continued, "Also, if I were here, I could take advantage of Wang Qian's inattention to threaten Kong Yuhe and Li Wei not to talk nonsense. Otherwise, if I'm not here, they might not be able to withstand Wang Qian's coercion and enticement, and they might not only confess that they were bribed by you, but they might also confess that I was bribed as well."
Upon hearing this, Liu Qingqing thought it made perfect sense.
"Okay, then you should go back now!"
"Miss Liu, I'll be going now!"
Yang Ju nodded, took a few steps, then turned back and instructed, "By the way, don't tell anyone that I've been here. After all, we still don't know who tipped me off. You should also be careful of the people around you and not trust them completely, or I'll be finished."
"Thanks for reminding me, I'll be careful!"
Liu Qingqing gave her a grateful look.
Yang Ju didn't linger any longer and sneaked away like a thief.
What did Yang Ju just say to you?
After Yang Ju left the coffee shop, Zhou Qin and Liu Feiyang, who had been hiding in the corridor not far away, came back.
"Indeed, someone informed Wang Qian."
Liu Qingqing's face was ashen. "Find out who it is."
"Sister, are you saying that the person who informed on Wang Qian was one of our people?" Liu Feiyang asked.
"Who else could it be?"
Liu Qingqing exclaimed indignantly, "No matter how much you guard against it, it's hard to guard against a traitor within your own family!"
As she said this, she glanced back and forth between Liu Feiyang and Zhou Qin a few times.
"Sister, you don't doubt me, do you?" Liu Feiyang was on the verge of tears.
Zhou Qin also wiped away a cold sweat. "Qingqing, we have indeed had some unpleasantness these past few days, but no matter how unhappy I am, I still have a scale in my heart when it comes to matters of principle."
Seeing the sincerity on their faces, Liu Qingqing said in a deep voice, "If it's not one of you, it must be one of the people we hired."
First of all, Kong Yuhe and Li Wei, who were arrested by Wang Qian, are definitely excluded.
Secondly, since Yang Ju came to see me on her own initiative and said those things, it definitely couldn't be Yang Ju.
So the remaining ones are either one of her two closest friends, Zhou Qin and Liu Feiyang, or the people she hired to keep an eye on her.
"Qingqing, who do you think is the most likely candidate?" Zhou Qin asked.
"Besides the two of you, I'm not familiar with any of the people I hired, so I can't guess exactly who they are right now," Liu Qingqing said, feeling extremely frustrated.
"Then we'll have to check them one by one!"
Zhou Qin rubbed his temples and said with a wry smile, "However, this method is quite time-consuming, and it's still unknown when we can actually find out the truth."
Liu Qingqing and Liu Feiyang rolled their eyes at the same time.
Isn't that just plain nonsense?
"So how do you plan to investigate?"
Liu Feiyang asked, "The people who betrayed us will definitely not admit it. Do you have any way to get them to confess voluntarily, or any way to make them give themselves away?"
"I haven't thought of anything yet."
Zhou Qin shook his head. "However, we can keep an eye on them secretly."
"How do you monitor them secretly?" Liu Feiyang pressed.
“Let’s split up and see who has been in contact with Wang Qian. That’s definitely who it is,” Zhou Qin said.
Upon hearing this, Liu Qingqing and Liu Feiyang both agreed to this method of investigation.
In order to find the traitor as soon as possible, the three immediately split up and took action.
Because they didn't know who the mole was, and to prevent the information from leaking out, the three of them didn't use any more hired personnel, but instead took matters into their own hands.
The investigation revealed an even more despairing scene for Liu Qingqing.
