Chapter 810: Chapter 811: Gu Qichen Set Up a Double-Sided Trap
But Lin Yuanyuan knew in her heart.
Shengyuan was not a small company; it was a vast business empire.
If she were really pinned with a business crime, she would definitely be sentenced to a harsh punishment.
Lin Yuanyuan’s first reaction was to think that this was a trap set by Xia Yangyang, deliberately framing her.
Because the document was copied from Xia Yangyang’s computer.
It was also the one Xia Yangyang had given her at that time.
If she had passed Xia Yangyang’s draft and submitted it to Shengyuan,
then wouldn’t Xia Yangyang be the one committing the crime of business theft now?
So, Xia Yangyang had seen through her mind at that time.
Knowing she would make things difficult for her, Xia Yangyang purposely failed the draft, leading her to resign and eventually taking on the task herself.
No wonder when she proposed resigning from the Shengyuan task, Xia Yangyang did not hesitate for a second and agreed so promptly.
It turned out this was all a trap she had set.
She brought such an excellent draft, knowing that she would ultimately try every means to borrow and use it.
So, she set a trap to “invite the uninvited”.
And she, Lin Yuanyuan, had become the prey that had taken the bait on her own.
Step by step, she had been thoroughly calculated by Xia Yangyang.
Lin Yuanyuan only felt a buzzing in her ears, with her mind going completely blank.
But she had only one thought.
That was to absolutely not take the fall for Xia Yangyang.
Lin Yuanyuan raised her hand, her index finger trembling as she pointed at Xia Yangyang, “It’s her, she framed me. The draft came from her side, she plagiarized and stole Shengyuan’s draft, and it was Xia Yangyang who deliberately planned to frame me.”
The turn of events was indeed beyond expectation.
Xia Yangyang said someone at the TV station framed her, but now all the focus had fallen back on Lin Yuanyuan.
And Lin Yuanyuan was saying it was Xia Yangyang who was setting her up.
What on earth was going on, no one could make sense of it.
At this time, Xia Yangyang probably had also understood Gu Qichen’s intentions.
Xia Yangyang spoke calmly, “Director Lin, you say I wronged you, what evidence do you have? The draft was written by you, you sent it to Shengyuan headquarters, what does it have to do with me?”
Lin Yuanyuan, overwhelmed with rage, retorted, “That draft was clearly written by you! Xia Yangyang, do not think for a second that I will take the fall for you.”
“Why would it be written by me, when it is clearly you, Director Lin, who wrote it?”
“I copied the draft from your computer, if it wasn’t written by you, then who else? Xia Yangyang, I don’t care whether it’s your original work or you stole it, in any case, this has nothing to do with me.”
As soon as Lin Yuanyuan finished speaking, the entire office, including the news department outside, all fell silent.
Instantly, Lin Yuanyuan felt something was not quite right.
But her mind was in such chaos that she couldn’t react in time.
It was at this moment, Xia Yangyang finally spoke in an unhurried voice, “Director Lin, didn’t you say no one knows the password to my computer? You mentioned that the draft was copied from my computer, which implies you know my computer’s password.”
Once Xia Yangyang pointed this out, Lin Yuanyuan slowly began to catch on.
It turned out this was all just a trap.
From the beginning, Gu Qichen had not meant to pursue her for plagiarism and business theft.
Instead, he forced her step by step to admit that she had tampered with Xia Yangyang’s computer and knew Xia Yangyang’s computer password.
It was a double-edged trap.
If she didn’t admit it, Gu Qichen would sue her for business theft.
If she admitted it, she would essentially be confessing to having accessed Xia Yangyang’s computer.
