As soon as the door of the conference room opened, there was a row of stares outside.
Surprised, suspicious, contemptuous, contemptuous, indifferent, theater-goer, irrelevant... all kinds of looks, like invisible daggers, piercing her body.
.
Mint was stunned for a moment, and his steps subconsciously stopped.
"I'm sorry, please give way..." Several policemen motioned to everyone not to block the road.
The crowd dispersed one after another, and it took a long time to make way for a small walkway.
Only then did Mint realize that the small office was already full of people, not only from the French team, but also from the English team next door, the Russian team, the Arabic team, etc.
In just the blink of an eye, the news spread. It turns out that good deeds can travel thousands of miles without leaving home!
Mint endured the embarrassment in her heart and quickened her pace.
However, until she walked very far, she still felt like a light on her back.
And that feeling was not unfamiliar to her, and it reminded her unconsciously of ten years ago.
It was precisely because of that experience that she told herself over and over again in her heart that no matter what, she would fight to the end!
It was not her fault in the first place. She must prove her innocence and never compromise!
The chief superintendent took her one step ahead, and Guan Shouheng followed the two senior superintendents. When Guan Shouheng saw everyone looking at each other and whispering, he couldn't help but his handsome face sank. He first said politely
Asked the two senior superintendents, "Mr. Police, can you give me a minute?"
"Of course." The two superintendents nodded happily. Originally, they took Guan Shouheng back for routine questioning. He was not the subject of the French Xinlin Company's lawsuit, but was only cooperating with the investigation.
"Thank you." After Guan Shouheng thanked him, he slowly raised his eyes, his dark eyes wandering around in a circle, slowly scanning the crowd, and he didn't know who the final focus was on, and said in a deep voice, "This matter is now in my hands.
The police are handling the matter. Before the investigation results are officially released, please don’t make any assumptions! Don’t make assumptions and follow what others say! I believe the police will give us a satisfactory answer in the end! And through this incident, I hope to give everyone a warning, that is
Do your job well, be honest and trustworthy! No one should take any chances, because anyone who does something wrong will definitely be punished in the end! Do you understand?"
"I understand." The spectators dispersed and went back to their workrooms.
In the conference room, Fang Yuan's appearance remained unchanged, but her fingers secretly clenched the edge of the table, as if she was guilty and nervous.
***
Police station.
The commercial crime squad's inquiry room.
Mint sat solemnly in front of a bare table, and Guan Shouheng also sat next to her, but the treatment they received was very different.
The two superintendents were aggressive and asked her direct and pointed questions. However, their attitude towards Guan Shouheng was much better, and their tone was polite and respectful.
After a few questions, Mint's head began to buzz. She held on to keep from falling down. She said everything she knew.
"Ms. Bo, one last question! The representative of the French Xinlin Company pointed out that you and your group met on Saturday night, and the next night, that is, at midnight on Sunday, the news about Joe's broke out on the Internet, so the French
The representative of Xinlin Company has reasonable suspicion that the leak occurred during this period. What were you doing during this period?"
"I..." Mint tried hard to remember and told the truth, "After the meeting on Saturday night, I went to see a colleague. We sat at Dongfeng Zui for a while, and then we went home. I didn't go out again that night.
On Sunday I go to Morning Star Kindergarten to teach the children, nothing else."
Guan Shouheng's silent handsome face showed no trace of emotion, but there was an almost invisible worry in his eyes. Is she working part-time again?
The work at the expo is already very hard, why should she do several jobs by herself?
Did you encounter any difficulties?
"Ms. Bo, your words are unfounded. Are there any witnesses to what you said?" the police continued to ask.
witness?
The only witness in the family is An An, but... we can't say this, right?
Mint thought for a while and had no choice but to say, "I live alone. As for part-time work on Sundays, the principal of the kindergarten and the children's parents can prove it."
The two policemen looked at each other, and one of them immediately stood up, apparently to investigate.
"Okay, Miss Bo, that's all today's questions. Thank you very much for your cooperation." The remaining policeman said in a deep voice, but his tone was emotionless and cold.
"You're welcome." Mint said softly, and slowly stood up, feeling that his hands and feet were soft.
"Miss Bo, please don't leave Xihai during this period. If we have any problems later, we will notify you separately."
Mint was slightly startled, but could only nod calmly, "I understand."
"Mr. Guan, you can leave."
"Okay, thank you." Guan Shouheng stood up slowly, looking at the slender figure in front of him, his eyes tightened.
The two of them walked out of the inquiry room one after another. Guan Shouheng went to the parking lot to pick up his car, while Mint was walking along the sidewalk in a daze, with someone behind her that had nothing to do with her.
In fact, she didn't know what she was feeling sad about. Was it just because he didn't say a word to believe her?
So what if he believes it? The police must believe it!
But why does she have to be so stupid and expect so much from him?
Looking at the endless flow of the road, I suddenly felt a little confused and didn't know where to go.
I've been laid off, and I don't have to go to the office. I'm completely free, but I don't know what to do.
I just feel this kind of idleness, which is so oppressive that I almost can't breathe.
She didn't want to go home either. The area near the small attic was being demolished recently. In the two neighboring communities, residents were moving one after another. Every time a household was moved, another household was demolished. The dust was flying and the noise was unsettling.
It would only make her feel more sad when she went back, and the rumbling sound would only remind her to find a house and move quickly.
An An was still in school at this time, and she couldn't go to school, otherwise her son would notice something was wrong with her, and she didn't want An An to worry.
Just walking along the street aimlessly.
She didn't know that behind her, a black Mercedes-Benz had been following slowly.
Guan Shouheng clenched the steering wheel with both hands, veins jumping on the back of his hands. It took a lot of strength to restrain his urge to catch up.
Now is not the time, wait, wait!
"Beep--" The car's horn sounded towards her.
Mint heard the sound and turned around and saw a familiar Aston Martin. The windows slowly rolled down and Zhuo Xi had an anxious expression on his face.
"Mint, are you okay? Get in the car quickly!"
"I...it's okay." She quickly endured the soreness in the corners of her eyes.
Zhuo Xi was palpitating. As soon as he got the news, he called her immediately, but her phone kept turning off. He had no choice but to go to the convention and exhibition center first. When he arrived, he was even more surprised. She was taken away directly by the police.
!
He finally understood why her phone number couldn't be reached. Of course, the person being interrogated couldn't contact the outside world at will, but she was just a subject of suspicion now. How could they treat her like that?
He was just a painter, not a lawyer, and he didn't understand the judicial procedures, but he felt aggrieved and distressed for her!
"Mint, come on, get in the car quickly. No matter what, I believe in you!" he comforted her.
Mint forced out a stiff smile and said, "Thank you."
Thank you that there are still people who believe in her at this time.
She bent down and sat in the car. The air-conditioning in the car blew, but it made her feel warm.
Zhuo Xi looked at the time and saw that it was almost noon, then he suggested with concern, "How about I treat you to dinner at noon? A new Western restaurant has opened next to my gallery. I heard that the steak is good, let's go and try it?"
steak?
Mint's heart was overflowing again, and she felt that the tears that had just stopped were rising again.
She shook her head vigorously and said with difficulty, "...I'm not hungry yet."
Zhuo Xi also knew that she would not be in the mood to eat, but there was no way she could continue like this.
"Then why don't you come back to the gallery with me first?"
Mint shook her head subconsciously. She knew that Zhuo Xi was very busy recently, and her last trip to the farmhouse was delayed due to work. She didn't want to disturb his work.
"No, you send me there..." She was at a loss for a moment, not knowing where she wanted to go or where she could go.
Her home was gone long ago, and she couldn't go to An An's school, and she didn't want to disturb Zhuo Xi and Wu Yinan.
"You can go anywhere you want." Zhuoxi said softly.
"... Let's go to the prison hospital. I want to see my mother." Mint suddenly thought of Shen Mei. Although she knew her mother wouldn't want to see her, she hadn't been there for a long time and didn't know how she was doing.
Zhuo Xi felt her fragility and strength, and felt a wave of reluctance in her heart, so she quickly comforted her and said, "Okay, I'll go with you. Maybe my aunt will get better as soon as she's happy because I'm so handsome!"
"
He was joking on purpose.
Mint raised the corner of his mouth, it would be great if that was the case.
However, she knew that it was impossible.
Mom hates her very much, hates her very much, hates her for bringing down the whole family, hates her for making her live a life without freedom that is worse than death.
She suddenly remembered what Fang Yuan had said before, saying that if she agreed to leave Guan Shouheng, she could help her rescue her mother from the prison hospital.
Fang Yuan...
She must have done what happened this time!
But, she has no evidence!
And she couldn't figure out how Fang Yuan got the information? There was no way the organizing committee could leak it!
Could it be... that she had a private deal with a representative of a French company?
But it is impossible for the representative of the French company to easily give her his company's technical secrets! That technology is to be patented, and the future profits are very objective, measured in hundreds of millions. Even if Fang Yuan wants to buy it, it will be astronomical.
Numbers!
Is she that valuable? Is it worth Fang Yuan's efforts and large sums of money?
Oh, no, that’s not right! The person who spends the money won’t be Fang Yuan, but Qiao Lijie!
One of them wants information, the other wants to frame her, each gets what they need!
I see……
Mint finally figured it out, but became even more desperate.
If she really guessed correctly, then the representatives of the French company, Fang Yuan, and Qiao Lijie would be complicit!
Qiao Lijie wanted to buy the technology of a French company with money. The representative of the French company sold company information for personal gain, but he did not dare to do so blatantly, otherwise he was afraid of attracting suspicion, so he contacted him through Fang Yuan. In this way, he could be held accountable.
Blame it on the organizing committee, blame it on her!
Kill three birds with one stone!
Each of the three parties benefited, but she was the only one who suffered!
It was impossible for either of them to admit it, so they could only affirm that the organizing committee had leaked the news, and she was the first scapegoat.
She has no chance to turn over!
The police are only suspicious of her now, but if they continue to investigate, they might even arrange a tainted witness or something like that. By then, wouldn't she be able to escape even if she jumped into the Yellow River?
The more Bo Mint thought about it, the angrier and more flustered she became. If this continued, she would really have no other choice!
Although Tianwang Huihui is very careful, there are still unjust, false and wrong cases, and she already has a "criminal record", which will definitely not be convincing in front of a judge in the future, and Fang Yuan and Qiao's backgrounds are so strong, she
How to survive?
The more Bo Min thinks about it, the scarier she becomes. Although the police can't do anything to her if they don't have direct evidence to prove that she leaked the information, there is a saying that people's words are scary!
As soon as the case is delayed, you don’t know how long it will be delayed, and you don’t know how the rumors will spread!
Then how should she behave in the future? What should An An do?
Faced with those doubts and contempt, even if she could bear it, could An An? He was still just a child!
She finally understood that Fang Yuan would not give up until she was ruined.
This hateful woman is simply insane!
Mint was very angry, but didn't know how to solve this problem.
Really, for so many years, she has never complained about how she went from having everything to having nothing. But now she is a little bit resentful, complaining about her own incompetence and that no one can help her.
She suddenly felt so helpless and lonely...
Subconsciously, she only thought of one person - Guan Shouheng.
However, seeing how calm and indifferent he was today...she didn't have the courage to face him.
However, she can't just sit back and wait for death!
"Zhuoxi, can you drive a little faster?" Bo Min couldn't help but be anxious, wanting to see her mother as soon as possible.
At this point, she could only go and tell her mother.
If her mother is still sober, she might be able to give her some advice. After all, her mother has been in politics for so many years. She has experienced these conspiracies and has a certain amount of experience.
***
The black Mercedes-Benz S-Class drove slower and slower, and finally stopped slowly on the side of the road.
Looking at the direction of the white Aston Martin in front of him, Guan Shouheng roughly judged that it was heading to the prison hospital.
It seems that she also guessed that Fang Yuan and Qiao Lijie were colluding with each other.
She was really smart and thought of it so quickly.
He saw the sudden acceleration of Zhuo Xi's car and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that she had not collapsed yet. She was still thinking of going to Shen Mei to find a solution.
It's great that she didn't disappoint him.
She was still so strong and brave, which made him feel very relieved.
However, he had already thought of a way for her. All of this was a trap set by him himself!
Now just wait for those people to jump down on their own, just waiting for time!
Seeing her looking so aggrieved and embarrassed, his heart was very tangled. He had many things to say to her, but he couldn't.
Because of this situation, he has been planning it for a long time.
This time, only success is allowed and no failure is allowed!
Because the opponent is too strong, once he alerts the enemy, it will be difficult to get another chance next time. What he wants is to catch them all! And it must be clean and thorough! No one will be left behind!
From that time, after he met Shen Mei in the prison hospital, he went to investigate what happened that year. It was as Shen Mei thought. Although the reporter was not him, it was really related to him. The reporter was his so-called My father ordered me!
Of course he is very angry, but what can he do if he is angry? Shen Mei is already in jail, and she also embezzled public funds first. Legal punishment is certain, and the only thing he can do is to find ways to help her reduce her guilt.
Then Fang Yuan appeared. He didn't think too much about it at first, because although he and Fang Yuan were schoolmates, they were not familiar with each other. It was impossible for him to define her as a bad person as soon as they met, so at that initial moment For a period of time, he did not pay special attention to her, just like other colleagues.
Later, Mint was tricked one after another in the office, but he did not suspect Fang Yuan, and even if she got better, he felt that it was just intrigue in the office and a very common thing. He even felt that the pair For Mint, it is actually a special experience.
Therefore, he did not check specifically, but took the opportunity to secretly help Mint and train her.
Until that time, Mint went to help Zhuoxi as a translator.
On that day, the leader inspected and many of them went to visit the exhibition hall together, but Mint almost had an accident.
He was so frightened that his heart almost jumped out of his chest. Fortunately, she was safe.
But he could no longer rest assured. He intuitively felt that someone was deliberately harming her, but as to who it was, he was not sure.
But there were only a few people at the scene that day. Although there were no witnesses or physical evidence, he thought the murderer must be among them!
Fang Yuan was also injured that day. He first sent Fang Yuan to the hospital and then sent her home... Until that time, he still only had a suspicion in his heart but no evidence, so he planned to investigate secretly.
Director Fang asked him to have dinner that day, but he declined and left. However, he didn't actually go far after going out. The Fang family's servant happened to go out to buy groceries, so he took the opportunity to go back and hide outside the door to eavesdrop. Much to his surprise!
It was actually Fang Yuan who tripped Lin Lin on purpose, and her ultimate goal was to get rid of Mint!
What shocked him even more was that it wasn't just Fang Yuan who framed Boo, Director Fang was actually related to the kidnapping of Boo's father!
He didn't expect that the Fang family father and daughter could be so cruel!
Due to time constraints, he was afraid that the Fang family's servants would come back and find him, so he left quickly without daring to steal for too long. After returning, he began to secretly investigate the Fang family's father and daughter.
The shady stories are too numerous to describe!
After knowing those things, he immediately changed his mind. What he wanted to do was not just help Mint regain his confidence, because that was far from enough.
Because he felt the danger for Mint. If the Fang family father and daughter were not eliminated, her life would never be stable!
Fang Yuan has always been very prudent in dealing with people. She may have been obsessed with it that day and was too eager for quick success, so she tripped up Lin Lin. But he was very lucky. Fortunately, she was exposed in advance, otherwise he would not have discovered her conspiracy so quickly.
That day, Mint almost had an accident, which made him realize clearly that the Fang family father and daughter would do anything for money and power, and Mint was obviously a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh!
He must protect her!
After being warned by Director Fang, Fang Yuan did not dare to take any more risky actions, but she was still restless. On the day of the media meeting, she clearly pretended to be sick on purpose, hoping to take the opportunity to prevent Mint from coming to Taiwan! She did not put Mint on stage
You will never give up if your reputation is ruined!
But luck is not as good as fate, but Mint took advantage of the opportunity that day and the result was brilliant. He thought that Fang Yuan would definitely become angry!
So he immediately started to deal with it and began to concentrate on the layout.
The appearance of Qiao Lijie gave him the best opportunity, and he thought Fang Yuan would not let it go.
This time, Fang Yuan's purpose is very obvious, she just wants to send Mint directly to prison!
Therefore, he will follow his plan!
Team Leader Li arranged for Bo Mint to be Qiao Lijie's translator because of her outstanding abilities, so he did not stop her but used the topic to her advantage.
From the first meeting, he designed it step by step, until Qiao disclosed the bazx-2 technology, until Xinlin Company wanted to sue, until the police came... all of this was under his control.
The next step is to wait! Wait for Joe’s to apply for a new patent, wait for their branch to be built, and wait for them to use the new technology in the assembly line!
This is a very important link in his plan, because Qiao is not innocent at all. Stealing other people's information is a crime in itself, and during the investigation, he also discovered that Qiao was also involved in the kidnapping of Mint's father.
case!
Therefore, he wants to catch them all and seek justice for Mint!
Only by helping her solve all these problems can they have a future!
