Lin Wanqing was extremely anxious. She paced back and forth in the hall, racking her brains for a solution. Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure—Gu Yanting's assistant. Lin Wanqing quickly stepped forward to stop him.
"Assistant Wang, I want to see Gu Yanting. Please inform him for me." Lin Wanqing grabbed her assistant's arm, her eyes full of pleading.
Assistant Wang looked troubled. "Ms. Lin, Mr. Gu is very busy lately and probably won't have time to see you. Besides, you embarrassed him at the party last time, so he doesn't have a good impression of you now. I advise you not to make things difficult for yourself."
Lin Wanqing gritted her teeth. "I know, but this concerns Ah Yu's innocence, and I must see him."
Assistant Wang hesitated for a moment, but was ultimately moved by Lin Wanqing's persistence. "Alright, I'll inform him for you, but I don't know if President Gu will see you."
After a while, Assistant Wang returned and told Lin Wanqing that Gu Yanting agreed to see her, but would only give her ten minutes.
Lin Wanqing walked into Gu Yanting's office. Gu Yanting was sitting behind his large desk, legs crossed, with a playful smile on his face.
"Lin Wanqing, you actually have the nerve to come see me? Speak, what is it?" Gu Yanting said contemptuously.
"Gu Yanting, Ah Yu was framed by you. Please let her go," Lin Wanqing said bluntly.
Gu Yanting sneered, "The evidence is conclusive. She committed commercial theft. What does it have to do with me? You'd better not waste your energy."
"Don't think I don't know you're up to something behind my back. You just want revenge on me, don't hurt innocent people," Lin Wanqing said angrily.
Gu Yanting stood up and slowly walked to Lin Wanqing. "Lin Wanqing, you overestimate yourself. However, if you are willing to publicly apologize to me in front of the media and admit that what you said at the party last time was slander against me, I might consider helping Ah Yu out."
Lin Wanqing felt a surge of disgust. "You're dreaming! I will never bow down to someone like you. I will find the evidence, clear Yu Qing's name, and make you receive the punishment you deserve." With that, she turned and left the office.
Chapter 5: A Turning Point Appears
After leaving the Gu Group, Lin Wanqing was not discouraged; instead, she became even more determined to find evidence. She began to re-examine the entire incident, from the time and place of Ah Yu's arrest to the so-called confidential document.
Lin Wanqing suddenly realized that although there was Ah Yu's fingerprint on the document, her action of not opening the document was captured on surveillance footage. Moreover, there was no one else around when she was looking at the document, so how did the security personnel discover it? There must be something fishy going on.
Lin Wanqing returned to the place where Ah Yu had been arrested, this time examining the location of the surveillance cameras more carefully. She discovered another camera not far away, at a rather concealed angle, which might have been overlooked before.
Lin Wanqing contacted the relevant department and retrieved the surveillance video from that camera. Sure enough, the video showed that before Ayu picked up the file, a suspicious person placed the folder on the ground, then hid nearby. After Ayu picked up the file, the person notified the security personnel.
Lin Wanqing was overjoyed; she had finally found crucial evidence. She immediately handed the video over to the police station and explained the situation in detail to the officers.
The police officers took this new evidence very seriously and began investigating the suspicious individuals in the video. After some investigation, they finally found the man, who turned out to be Gu Yanting's subordinate. Under police interrogation, he confessed that he was instructed by Gu Yanting to deliberately frame Ah Yu.
Chapter Six: The Truth Revealed
As the truth gradually came to light, Ah Yu's injustice was finally redressed. She was acquitted and released. The moment she walked out of the detention center, the sunlight shone on her, and she couldn't help but cry tears of joy.
Lin Wanqing greeted Ayu at the entrance of the detention center, and the two embraced and wept. "Ayu, it's alright, everything is over," Lin Wanqing comforted her.
"Wanqing, thank you. I really don't know what I would have done if it weren't for you," Ah Yu said gratefully.
Gu Yanting, for instigating others to frame someone else, faces legal sanctions. His company's reputation has also been damaged, and its stock price has plummeted. The once arrogant man is now in dire straits.
Through this experience, Ah Yu and Lin Wanqing's friendship deepened. Ah Yu resolved to pursue her dream of fashion design even harder, while Lin Wanqing continued to shine in the field. Having struggled through this ordeal, they became stronger and cherished their friendship and hard-won freedom even more. The city remained vibrant, and their lives turned a new page, striding confidently towards a bright future.
