An Meng stuck her head out and saw the two uniformed personnel taking Xie Sixian and Shu Ying to the discussion room at the end of the corridor.
After a while, several more people walked in, including Li Xiaolei, and the door of the discussion room was closed.
Without hesitation for a few seconds, she tiptoed over, leaned against the door, and pricked up her ears.
At this moment, there was a light pat on her shoulder. An Meng's heart almost skipped a beat, and a scream got stuck in her throat, but she stopped it in time.
She let out a breath to calm her suddenly accelerated heartbeat, turned around and saw Xie Yun's handsome face right in front of her.
Xie Yun raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he didn't expect her to have such a big reaction.
After he finished the call, he found that there was no one in Xie Shixian's office. It didn't take him long to come out and see An Meng lying on the door, looking very sneaky.
"Shh——" The excitement of eavesdropping temporarily overwhelmed the discomfort of being so close to Xie Yun. An Meng focused most of her attention on the discussion room.
There was a faint sound of conversation coming from inside the door.
The public discussion room was not too big, with nearly ten people sitting there. Xie Shixian's project team members sat on one side, and school leaders and confidentiality committee members sat on the other side.
In the deathly silence, a gray-haired man spoke first, his voice slightly hoarse: "Xiao Xie, the higher-ups found out that the data for the project you're working on has been leaked. Are you aware of this?"
Xie Sixian's eyes behind his glasses were calm and without hesitation: "I don't know."
The man looked questioningly and said, "We discovered a piece of data circulating online, and the data shows that it belongs to this project."
"The IP address is exactly your office computer."
Sitting at the table, Li Xiaolei still looked radiant and there was no sign of abnormality.
Shu Ying's eyes flickered to Li Xiaolei, and she opened her mouth eagerly, about to say something.
Xie Sixian noticed it keenly, turned his head slightly, and stopped Shu Ying with a look.
Shu Ying was stunned, closed her mouth in frustration, and her face turned slightly red.
For some reason, Xie Sixian's eyes were firm yet gentle, and her anxious heart was miraculously soothed.
Xie Sixian gently pushed the frame of his glasses with his index finger and looked directly into the eyes in front of him: "I am the person in charge of this project, and all the data has indeed passed through my hands."
"But," Xie Sixian continued, sitting up straight, "if I really wanted to leak data, how could I be so stupid as to use my own computer and send it through the school network?"
"Yeah," a school leader with a green scarf around her neck was convinced. She murmured, "This really doesn't make sense."
The gray-haired man glanced at her accusingly and asked Xie Sixian, "No matter how you operate it, the data is leaked."
Shu Ying was sweating with worry when she heard Xie Sixian calmly say, "I wonder if the leaders have checked whether the data circulating on the Internet is real project data?"
Everyone was in an uproar and started whispering to each other.
Li Xiaolei trembled suddenly, her face turned pale, and she looked at Xie Sixian in disbelief. What did he mean by saying this?
Xie Sixian's profile was calm, and he looked almost certain of winning.
An almost impossible idea was born in her mind, but...how could that be possible? Shu Ying bit her lip and clenched her fingers nervously.
The female leader with the green scarf thought for a few seconds and then suggested to her colleagues, "Xiao Xie, what you said makes sense. Why don't we compare them?"
Someone at the scene brought a laptop and immediately turned it on to compare the leaked data with the real data of the project.
As time passed, Li Xiaolei became more and more uneasy.
How could it be possible, she thought with trembling fingers, she had clearly sent that one—
"Hey, Teacher Zhang," a young woman whispered to the gray-haired man, "Come and see, it really seems different."
The gray-haired man squinted his dim eyes, leaned forward in disbelief, and carefully read the tiny words on the screen one by one.
His frown slowly relaxed.
It is indeed different. Except for the project name and the irrelevant information on the previous few pages, the key data and content in the latter part are completely irrelevant.
"Xiao Xie," Teacher Zhang coughed twice, his voice even hoarse, "Don't make jokes like this in the future."
An Meng outside the door breathed a sigh of relief. She had already prepared for the worst.
[Wasn't what Li Xiaolei shared about the project data?]
[I'm so nervous. Big Brother was actually prepared? I didn't realize he was so smart.]
Xie Yun lowered his eyes and glanced at her.
Although Xie Sixian was confident in his heart, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.
Shu Ying secretly wiped the cold sweat from her palms on her skirt, and her pounding heart calmed down.
Li Xiaolei was completely stunned, sitting there stiffly, not knowing how to react. How could this happen?
He had been on guard for a long time?! She suddenly looked at Xie Sixian, but unexpectedly met his indifferent gaze. Li Xiaolei immediately broke out in a cold sweat on her back.
Hearing that the discussion room had become quiet, An Meng left quickly.
Sure enough, after a few minutes, the door opened and a group of people walked out.
Li Xiaolei walked slowly at the back, with her head down, and her facial expression could not be seen clearly.
When most people had left, Xie Sixian walked over to Shu Ying and asked, "Teacher, would you like a cup of coffee?"
Shu Ying nodded, knowing that Xie Sixian had something to tell her.
In the past, Xie Shixian would invite students for coffee after the weekly group meetings.
An Meng appeared out of nowhere, with Xie Yun standing behind her. She said with a grin, "I want to go too!"
Shu Ying asked Xie Sixian hesitantly: "Teacher, I think you haven't introduced me yet..."
"Oh, I was so busy I forgot," Xie Sixian said in frustration, "This is my second brother, Xie Yun, and this is his wife, An Meng."
Shu Ying's gaze lingered on An Meng and Xie Yun for a few seconds, a subtle envy in her eyes. She tilted her head and asked Xie Sixian, "Then... together?"
"I have something to do at the company. Let's go next time." Xie Yun refused at first, then turned to An Meng and said, "You can go with my brother and the others."
An Meng couldn't say why, but she felt relieved.
She couldn't promise Xie Yun anything, but she also had no way to completely ignore him. His existence was like a red-hot iron. Even if An Meng closed her eyes and didn't look at him, the burning heat was unavoidable to her.
He had indeed been on the phone just now, and Xie Sixian and the others did not force him and walked straight to the coffee shop.
Along the way, An Meng's eyes kept moving back and forth between Xie Sixian and Shu Ying.
[Tsk tsk, look at the way Shu Ying occasionally looks at Xie Sixian. It really is impossible to hide your love for someone.]
What? Xie Sixian's elegant face flushed instantly, and a sense of immoral guilt arose spontaneously.
What nonsense is An Meng talking about?
