Father had once decided to dismiss Lin Mingjun, but Gao Qingxue stood firm, saying, "If you dismiss him, I'll leave the company as well!" This left Father deeply troubled, and he eventually decided to keep Lin Mingjun at the company. Unexpectedly, the very concern he had harbored finally came true. It was a key client who urgently needed a crucial technical document from our Lianchuang Group—one that would determine a 10-billion-yuan deal. After I had painstakingly compiled the document and personally delivered it to the overseas client through Chen Jiangliu, the delivery was delayed by one day due to my trip to pick up my son. When the document finally reached the client, they expressed no interest in it. Instead, they trusted the company that delivered it first—the Xintian Company. Xintian Company, ranked second nationally in the IT sector, had long coveted our Lianchuang Group's top position. They have secured an early advantage, and even more strikingly, the technical documentation they provide to their customers is exactly identical to that of our Liaoxiang Group. This clearly indicates that our technical documentation has been stolen. However, our company's technical secrets have been protected by numerous safeguards, making it difficult for ordinary personnel to access them. Therefore, the only plausible explanation is that internal staff have used hacking techniques to steal our confidential information and deliberately leaked it to competitors. After conducting a thorough investigation using our company's most advanced anti-hacking measures to monitor all employees' network activities, we identified a user named "Bird in Flight" who frequently corresponded via email with a colleague at Xin Tian Company named "Hawk." However, the specific email contents could not be found—presumably, they were deleted to avoid detection. We still do not know who "Bird in Flight" is or who "Hawk" is. As a result, Gao Zhongming secretly assigned personnel to monitor the suspicious staff, and it was discovered that Lin Mingjun did not return home directly after work, but instead went to a bar! What was he doing at the bar? After all, he never had a habit of going there! So they sent someone to keep an eye on him and spotted a suspicious figure. It was a middle-aged man with a broad build and a scar running across his face. Every time he saw Lin Mingjun, he would ask, "Have you brought the items yet?" When Lin Mingjun reported that he had nothing, the man with the scar would grow increasingly angry and sharply declare, "Our boss is waiting impatiently—remember, you only have three days. If you fail to deliver, we'll take you out!" "No, no, no! I promise! I promise!" Lin Mingjun became utterly panicked upon hearing the man with the scar was threatening to take him out, pleading desperately. Following this intimidation, Lin Mingjun's behavior became even more unusual. He frequently volunteered to work overtime at the company, taking on more technical tasks. We didn't notice this at first and even thought he was diligent and proactive. Yet, we hadn't realized that all of this was carefully planned. He secured some crucial technical information from the full trust your sister placed in him. When your sister herself was hesitating whether to hand over this vital information, he made solemn promises—never to betray our joint-creation group! Yet just three days after making those promises, the rival company delivered the information directly to its overseas clients, and Lin Mingjun stopped coming to the office. We've tried reaching out repeatedly, but to no avail. It has now been confirmed that he has joined New Tian Company. "Lin Mingjun's departure is not a major issue—we have plenty of talent within the company. What's critical, however, is that he stole our technical secrets and deliberately disclosed our business opportunities to competitors, causing irreparable financial losses. Not only did he ruin our 10-billion-yuan contract, but more importantly, this—" High Zhongming held the document just handed to him by Gao Qingxue and said, "This is New Tian Company's new product marketing strategy!" It really shocked me, because this was exactly our company's marketing strategy. Not only that, but even more importantly, they've already launched the IT products we're about to introduce. They're capturing the market ahead of us! This is a fatal blow to us. It will paralyze our entire marketing system. All our early efforts will be wasted! This is precisely what I didn't want to see. "Quickly notify all security personnel at the company to assist in locating the lady!" Gao Zhongming issued the instruction. "Yes, sir!" Chen Jiangliu immediately picked up the phone and contacted each security officer in turn. "I'll go find my elder sister!" Gao Liang said, then turned to Chen Jiangliu and said, "Let's go—drive quickly! We're heading somewhere!" The scene shifts to Gao Qingxue, who is driving alone toward Lin Mingjun's residence—an address known only to her. Though she has visited only once, she remembers the route well. At the door of Room 308, Building 3, Unit 3, Guoyuan Residential Area, Gao Qingxue quickly knocked. However, no one answered. As she was about to leave, she suddenly noticed a small note stuck to the door, reading simply: "See you at the old place!" Gao Qingxue hurried off to that destination. At the Bai Bu Tower in Lianhua Lake Park, Hanshai City, Gao Qingxue hurried up the stairs, taking two steps at a time. Reaching the top floor, she finally spotted a familiar figure—Lin Mingjun. "Lin Mingjun! Tell me! Why are you doing this? Is the company's treatment not good enough for you? Why have you leaked company secrets and switched your allegiance to Xintian Company?" Gao Qingxue was furious, her chest heaving with anger. "But ask your father—whom you've always looked down upon! I've never been given the recognition I deserve here, have I?" Lin Mingjun roared, his voice strained and powerful. "Yet, even considering our relationship, you shouldn't have done this!" Gao Qingxue reproached. "Hah! Who do you think you are? Why shouldn't I have done this? Once the deal is finalized, Xintian Company promises me 40% ownership stakes and a new vice-presidential position—something I've never even dreamed of in my life!" Lin Mingjun chuckled with a look of pride. Gao Qingxue found this utterly contemptible. "It seems your feelings for me have always been false. Your earlier promises were all a pretense. You've only ever thought of yourself—you're utterly base!" Gao Qingxue accused. "All this is due to your old, stubborn father. If he had trusted me, I wouldn't have done this! Of course, there's one more reason that made me decide—something I'm not ready to reveal yet," Lin Mingjun said, pausing clearly unwilling to share it. Gao Qingxue didn't care about the pain, kept running, but due to her panic, didn't go far before her foot caught on a stone and she fell to the ground, crying out in pain. Clearly, she had taken a hard fall. Soon, the scarred man and Lin Mingjun arrived. "Throw her into the car and keep watch!" Lin Mingjun ordered. "Yes, yes!" The scarred man carried out the instruction. Gao Qingxue struggled in the car, cursing Lin Mingjun for his sheer ingratitude and dishonor, yet Lin Mingjun revealed to her a gaze she had never seen before—like that of a starving wolf. He stripped off his upper garments, revealing his dark, thick chest hair. This made the graceful and elegant Gao Qingxue unable to look up, only lowering her head and covering her eyes, trembling and shouting, "No! No!" "Then I'll have my way!" Lin Mingjun suddenly used his right hand to support Gao Qingxue's chin, fixing his gaze on her refined face and saying, "You are truly beautiful. If I don't make love to you today, then I'm not a man!" "啪!" "Gao Qingxue gave Lin Mingjun a sharp slap and said, 'My father will come to save me!' Then she reached into her coat pocket to pull out her phone and make a call, but to her surprise, she couldn't find it."
