Chapter 1244 - 832: The Grand Finale: The Pu Family Isn’t So Simple (Part 3)

Su Xiaomeng pouted her lips, nodding in agreement.

Yin Shixiu pecked her lips once, then again after the first peck, and Su Xiaomeng didn’t mind being pecked. Afterward, Yin Shixiu started pecking like a woodpecker, making Su Xiaomeng laugh softly nonstop.

It seemed like they had put Pu Wei’s matter behind them.

The video spreading online didn’t last long; Yin Shixiu had technicians from the Yin Group completely delete the related content from their search engine.

As for other major social media sites, Yin Shixiu also arranged for people to handle them.

Pu Wei indeed had many tricks up her sleeve, but they weren’t clever; her motives were obvious, and there were too many loopholes. Yin Shixiu and Su Xiaomeng didn’t take her seriously, just waiting to confront her face-to-face. The worst outcome would be going to court and filing a lawsuit.

After all, the prestigious president of the Yin Group was not going to be branded with charges of intentional harm.

The next day, Su Xiaomeng and Yin Shixiu went to work as usual. With Bai Sidong’s uncle in the police force, if there were any developments or anything needed, he would contact Bai Sidong immediately.

The person who uploaded the video online had their IP address traced by hackers to an internet cafe not far from the Yin Group. Bai Sidong promptly dispatched people to retrieve surveillance and locate the person who uploaded the video for quick control.

Xiao Meng went to school but hadn’t even sat down when Chi Lun’s mocking words reached her ears,

"Your family really is a hotspot for accidents; one thing after another without a pause."

Su Xiaomeng glanced at Chi Lun, "Do you know what it means to say blessings come after trials? Do you know that the troubles you endure now become the happiness you enjoy later?"

Chi shrugged and opened his hands, "I don’t know. Right now, I only care about the money I’ve lost."

"What?" Su Xiaomeng glared at him, casually asking.

"I trusted your husband so much, bought Yin Group’s stock last month, and because of yesterday’s incident, the stock dropped—I lost over two hundred thousand yuan..."

"Pfft... you bought the Yin Group’s stock... Weren’t you quite unhappy with Yin Shixiu last month?"

"Does being unhappy conflict with buying Yin Group’s stock?"

Chi Lun tilted his head and asked Xiao Meng.

Xiao Meng nodded, extending both arms making a fist gesture towards Chi Lun, "Professor Chi, this girl admires you!"

Chi Lun was quite pleased, smoothing his simple-tied hair at the nape of his neck, yawning, "What about Pu Wei? Has she woken up yet?"

"Checked in the morning—still no..."

"She won’t stay unconscious forever, right?" Chi Lun spoke lightly, not caring about matters that didn’t concern him, casually mumbled.

Su Xiaomeng quickly gave Chi Lun a look, "Don’t jinx it. Although I dislike this woman, if she truly never wakes up, it’ll be a hassle for my husband."

"But I see Yin Shixiu is quite composed... Facing the media’s questions, he says nothing, even as the Yin Group’s stock fluctuates under his influence, he still opts for silence."

"Chi Lun, why are you meddling so much? What does it matter to you..."

"As your colleague, I’m truly worried for you, and also for myself."

"..."

"My worry for you is fearing your husband, wise throughout his life, will ultimately fail over something trivial. My worry for myself... If your husband is truly horribly affected by the Pu family, sharing an office with you would mean you’d be down all the time, which would surely affect my mood."

"Chi Lun, is it just my illusion? Why do I feel like you’re trying to make conversation?" Su Xiaomeng frowned, feeling Chi Lun, saying so much gossip and all devoid of substance, was slightly off.

"Professor Chi... do you have something to say?"

Chi Lun raised his eyebrows, "I have a book I’d like to recommend to you."

"... Recommending a book now?"

Su Xiaomeng likely would never catch up with Chi Lun’s thinking.

"It’s a story by a detective from the United States."

"..."

"In it, there’s a story that’s quite similar in nature to what your husband is encountering." Chi Lun, legs crossed and leaning on the chair, lightly tapped the table with his fingers, seeming leisurely but somehow conveying a sense of vigilance that was hard to ignore or relax.

"You mean... Pu Wei imitated a detective story..."

"What I’m saying is... this Pu family isn’t simple; they’re all professors for a reason."
