Chapter 293: Third Brother: I Found My Treasure
Xun Shaorong waved her hand repeatedly. “No, no, no, that’s too expensive.”
“Auntie, I don’t lack money.”
Jiang Xingyi said bluntly, “There’s no need for you to save this bit of money for me. The main thing is for Uncle to live well. You and Uncle have taken care of Yuyu for so long. It’s only right that we do something for you in return. Please don’t be shy. This little bit of money is really nothing.”
Xun Shaorong was a little hesitant when Jiang Xingyi said, “Money is meant to be spent. Me spending money on Uncle is like spending money on Yu Yu. I’m happy to spend money on Yu Yu. This is what it means to earn money.”
Xun Shaorong was silent. It seemed... there was some logic in this?
Just like how they were happy to spend the money they earned on Yu Yu?
Seeing that Xun Shaorong did not refuse, Jiang Xingyi hurriedly said, “I’ll make the arrangements now.”
Jiang Yu stopped him and said, “There’s no need. I’ll go. It’s not convenient for you to go outside.”
Even if Jiang Xingyi wore a hat and a mask, if he ran up and down the hospital, this hospital was full of people and someone would recognize him eventually. He didn’t bring his assistant with him this time, so if he got caught by a crowd, it would be difficult for him to escape and that would be troublesome.
Jiang Yu took this into consideration and decided that she should be the one to make the arrangements. Also, this way, she could use her own money.
However, Jiang Xingyi immediately took out his card and handed it to Jiang Yu. “Use this card. The password is...”
He whispered a string of numbers into Jiang Yu’s ear.
Jiang Yu was stunned.
Wasn’t this string of numbers the date of the first time they met in the mall?
Jiang Xingyi also patted his little sister’s hair. Seeing that she recognized the date, he didn’t bother to hide anything and squeezed his eyes, “It was a very meaningful date for me. On that day, I found my treasure.”
At this moment, Jiang Yu actually had a slight reaction.
She raised her head and looked at Jiang Xingyi seriously. “In that case, on this date in the future, I will send you flowers.”
Jiang Xingyi: ???
Jiang Xingyi: ...
Jiang Yu thought since he said that day was meaningful to him, like an anniversary or birthday, she should do something special to add to the ceremonial feel.
When other people celebrate special occasions, don’t they always buy flowers and chocolates?
Jiang Xingyi was a celebrity. He had to maintain his figure and could not eat chocolate. So, she decided to send him flowers. This way, she would seem more sincere?
Jiang Xingyi: “Thank you, Little Sister...”
When his little sister had heard that it was a special day for him, she immediately wanted to send him flowers. He didn’t know if he should be happy...
...
After Jiang Yu had made the arrangements, the hospital staff went to rearrange for An Yimin’s ward.
She didn’t use Jiang Xingyi’s card, feeling that it was better to use her own money.
Jiang Xingyi didn’t receive a message from the bank regarding the payment so he knew what had happened. He knew that Jiang Yu had strong opinions so he didn’t fight her.
Jiang Yu also thanked Jiang Xingyi for coming. She had originally wanted to talk about changing An Yimin’s ward too but she guessed that Xun Shaorong wouldn’t agree. They were afraid of bringing her trouble.
In that case, Jiang Xingyi’s arrival could not have been better. It was reasonable for him to bring it up so Xun Shaorong could not reject it.
At this moment, Jiang Yu’s phone rang again.
She stood up and said, “I’m going out to take a call.”
Jiang Yu walked out of the ward and found a quiet place. As soon as she picked up the phone, the person on the other end said anxiously, “Boss, we’ve found out who leaked the information!”
Chapter 294: We’ve Found the One Who Leaked the Information
Jiang Yu: “Tell me.”
“It was leaked by one of their own people!”
Someone said, “Boss, according to the clues you provided, we locked onto a few people and then went to screen everyone they came into contact with during that period of time. None of them are employees of the Jiang Corporation, so we changed our train of thought, just like what you told us to do…”
“What if this project… wasn’t leaked by anyone in the Jiang Corporation?”
“Then, if it wasn’t leaked from anyone in the Jiang Corporation, who else could have done it? Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth. The project plan had been given to Shun-Ning by Jian Industries themselves!”
Jiang Yu leaned against the wall and settle into a comfortable position. “Continue.”
“Later on, we followed this line of thought and checked the employees of Jian Industries that they had come into contact with the project. In Jian, the team in charge of the Oasis Project is a relatively small team. When we dug into these people, we discovered that none of them met the requirements.”
“However, we did find a few Jian Industries employees who came into contact with the project members in charge of the Oasis Project in Shun-Ning Corporation. Even though they weren’t in charge of the selection, we decided to look into them. We checked on those people and sure enough, we found the culprit!”
The person on the other side raised his voice. He was clearly very excited, “We found records of one of them sending the project design to the employees at Shun-Ning. Although the record had been deleted, we managed to restore it. This time, they won’t get away!”
Jiang Yu put the phone a little further away and let them relax first. Then, she asked, “Is there anything else besides this?”
“What?”
“What about money transfers?”
“Oh oh oh, there is, there is!” Zhong Jun’ai said proudly. “Boss, you have to praise me on this. It’s the first time I’ve thought of such a thing and then went to check their bank transaction records. They didn’t expect ithis at all!”
“The transfer records had been very well hidden. They gave out the payment in small batches. The total amount comes to 500,000 yuan.”
Jiang Yu muttered to herself.
Zhong Jun’ai said anxiously, “Boss, since we’ve already found out, let’s quickly publish it online and clear the air. Then, we’ll send it to the police and have them arrest the person who leaked the secret. Your name will be cleared!”
Jiang Yu refused, “No.”
Zhong Jun’ai was stunned and almost thought he had heard wrong.
What did Sugar Daddy just say?
Did she say no?
“Get Jiaxu on the phone.”
Zhong Jun’ai pouted and handed the phone to Ding Jiaxu.
He had clearly contributed a lot to this investigation so he had rushed over to claim his credit. Why was the Goddes still thinking about Ding Jiaxu…
“Jiaxu,” Jiang Yu said, “Send me a copy of all the information that you’ve found. We’re not going to publish it online, I want to lead the way first. My goal is…”
She paused and said, “To strip down Jian Industries.”
Ding Jiaxu quickly understood what she meant. “Boss, are you suspecting that it wasn’t this person’s idea? He didn’t do it for the money?”
“He did do it for the money. I just want to see who gave him the money,” Jiang Yu said calmly. “Shun-Ning? I don’t think so.”
A company employee that wasn’t a member of the project selection team had easily got a hold of Jiang Corporation’s project proposal. Was Jian Industries that lax in monitoring their company secrets?
Maybe, it was a smokescreen?
Chapter 295: The Black Earring on His Left Ear
Back in the ward.
Jiang Xingyi’s cell phone rang.
He pressed the reject button but the other party called again. He pressed the reject button over and over again.
Xun Shaorong didn’t want to interfere with Jiang Xingyi’s personal affairs, but she could not help but glance at his phone.
Jiang Xingyi, on the other hand, was concerned about leaving a good impression on Aunt. After some thought, he stood up and walked out. “I’m going out to take a call.”
As soon as the call connected, Xiao Fan cried out, “Brother Xingyi, why did you disappear again? Brother Wu is looking for you everywhere…”
“I was on the plane just now, so it wasn’t convenient for me to answer the call.”
“A plane?” Xiao fan was surprised. “Brother Xingyi, where did you go?”
“Beijing.”
Xiao Fan probed, “Brother Xingyi, when you go to Beijing… are you going there to see your girlfriend?”
“No.”
“Are you going to see a man or a woman?”
“You don’t have to worry about that. It just so happens that the concert in Beijing is about to start soon. I’ll just go there directly for rehearsals.”
Xiao Fan said in distress, “But Brother Xingyi, you still have another two assignments…”
Jiang Xingyi said unhappily, “I already told him to not accept any more jobs. You still forced me to take them. Let Wu Ting handle it himself.”
Jiang Xingyi immediately hung up the phone.
As he walked toward the ward, he caught a glimpse of a familiar person out of the corner of his eye.
He stopped in his tracks and focused his gaze but he couldn’t find the person again.
Jiang Xingyi pressed the space between his brows. Perhaps he was too tired recently and was seeing things.
Wasn’t that kid, Jiang Jingnian, living abroad? How could he appear here…
…
When Jiang Xingyi returned to the ward, Jiang Yu was already there.
She had even brought back a bag of fruits with her. As soon as she took out an apple, Jiang Xingyi quickly took it and said, “Little Sister, let me do it.”
It was better to leave the dangerous task of peeling fruits to him. What if his little sister hurt her hand?
Jiang Xingyi washed the apple and started peeling it with a small knife.
He was skilled with the knife and peeled a long strip of apple skin without breaking till he was finished.
After peeling the apple, Jiang Xingyi handed the apple to Jiang Yu, who then handed it to Xun Shaorong. “Eat.”
Xun Shaorong shook her head. “Yu Yu, I’m not hungry. Better if you eat it. Eat more fruits. It’s good for your body.”
Jiang Yu handed the apple back to Jiang Xingyi. “Third Brother, eat.”
Jiang Xingyi shook his head as well. “I’m not hungry either.”
There was a hint of grievance in his voice. “I peeled this apple especially for you, Little Sister…”
“Alright then.”
Jiang Yu did not argue anymore. She took small bites of the apple as Jiang Xingyi watched from the side with a satisfied expression on his face.
It was very fortunate that his Little Sister had been found. Now, he could spend more time with Little Sister in this lifetime. Just thinking about it made him feel very happy.
Xun Shaorong looked at Jiang Xingyi’s moony expression as he watched Jiang Yu eat the apple. She thought to herself, An Yimin was right. Jiang Yu’s brother really doted on her. From the look in his eyes, this couldn’t be fake. This way, she and An Yimin could be at ease.
Jiang Xingyi was looking sideways at Jiang Yu, revealing the left side of his face. From Xun Shaorong’s angle, she could see the black earring on his left ear.
Xun Shaorong was stunned.
This earring…
Why did it look so similar to the rhinestone that had hung on one of the necklaces that she had lost?
Back then, Yu Yu had liked that necklace so much that Xun Shaorong had given it to her.
Yu Yu wore this necklace every day. One day, when she came back home, Yu Yu’s lips were black and she could not speak.
