Chapter 143 It's Done and That's It

  "This...", Zhang Yali said, "Even if some places seem not to be like that, someone will say that the video is slightly untrue, so these details are not very much alike. Therefore, the places that don't look alike, it's really hard to find and not good to be used as evidence."

  Gu Yan sat on the chair, staring at the video that had already stopped playing.

  "But that day, I was indeed not in Bermuda." She raised her head and looked at Yuan Chun, "Give me my itinerary for that month."

  Yuan Chun hurriedly handed over the itinerary, Gu Yu took it and found that day, but suddenly discovered that there was no schedule for that day... She had given herself a day off and was resting at home.

  Her eyes were fixed, her eyelashes fluttering up and down, patting her face, but the expression on her face was frozen.

  How is this possible...

  At this time, there was a knock at the door outside. Gu Yu sat still, while Zhang Yali looked at Xiao Qian with some concern. Xiao Qian glanced at Gu Yu and signaled to Zhang Yali to go open the door.

  Zhang Yali hurried over, opened the door, and saw the rest of the company's high-level executives outside, her heart also condensed.

  "Director Xiao, you've seen the video, right? You should give us an explanation for this matter."

  "Yes, Director Xiao, we know she is still Mrs. Xiao, your wife, but if you want to protect her at this time, we can only say that we are very disappointed in the Xiao family and Director Xiao."

  "We didn't say we must send her to prison, after all she is Xiao's wife, whether or not she goes to prison, it's not up to us to decide. But how can she continue to stay here and be the deputy general? How can so many subordinates trust her and fight alongside her?"

  "That's right, we won't give in. If she must stay, then it's us who have to leave."

  "That's enough."

  The people at the door spoke one after another, with a righteous air on their faces, as if they were about to drown someone.

  Xiao Qian was still listening, but saw Gu Yan sitting there, not saying a word. He finally raised his head and coldly shouted.

  "Are you still forcing me?" Xiao Qian's gaze swept coldly over the high-level members of the Xiao family in the conference room.

  They belong to different departments, but they are the ones who formed Xiao's venture capital. They should be a team and indeed they are, at times, they join forces against a common enemy, making it really hard to defend against them.

  "Director Xiao, this isn't forcing you into a corner, it's just hoping that Director Xiao can act fairly." someone said.

  "What you want is fairness, but in fact, you just want me to leave Xiao's family, right?"

  At this time, Gu Yu, who was sitting there quietly with his head down, slowly stood up.

  Her tightly knitted face seemed to have every expression frozen into iron pillars, and her gaze, cast in cold iron, flashed past everyone standing here with a hard chill.

  Gu Yu is the deputy general manager of this company. She proved her position in the company with her performance, not just because she was Mrs. Xiao.

  However, this society, this circle, is just so cruel.

  Once a handle is handed over to them, however small it may be, it's like a domino effect, one after another, those hard-won cards will collapse in an instant, not leaving a single one.

  Trust takes years to build, but can be lost in an instant.

  She looked at these familiar faces and said faintly, "I know someone wants me to leave Xiao's family, leave the Xiao family, bit by bit, patiently undermining my relationship with all colleagues in the Xiao family. This person may be one of you."

  Gu Yan's gaze swept again, and in the silent silence, no one said another word.

  Until the market department manager Tian Hong spoke up, "Director Guo, what do you mean? When you have a problem, it's always someone else's fault, but when we have a problem, it's our own fault. Director Guo, you've dealt with traitors who betrayed the Xiao family before, we're not targeting you, we're only targeting the traitor."

  "Director Gu, are you suspecting that there is a traitor among us? If it's true, we wouldn't have unanimously decided not to report you to the law and just hoped you would leave the company; that's all."

  "Director Gu, you said someone framed you, but the videos have already been released. How do you explain that? The signatures have also been handed over to a specialist for verification, and indeed they are from your hand, matching every signature you've made in the past. Coincidentally, on that day, there just happened to be no witnesses who can prove you weren't in Bermuda. It's not far away, Director Gu could have signed something and flown back, it would have been the same. All this evidence is right before our eyes, how do you plan to explain?"

  Yes, the evidence is conclusive, what can she say to explain it?

  At this time, Zhang Xuanwu from the personnel department also came out and said, "If Director Gu really thinks that someone here is dealing with him and intentionally framing him, then..."

  "Well, why don't we just hand over all the evidence to the police and let them handle it? That way, everything will be fair in the eyes of the law."

  "Yes, yes, let's leave it to the police."

  Gu Yu stood inside, feeling as if she was a tragic target, standing in the center, about to be pierced by ten thousand swords.

  But she was powerless.

  Because... she really had no evidence to clear herself of the injustice, not a shred.

  If this is indeed a conspiracy, then the person who planned it must have been meticulous in his thinking, weaving everything together from the very beginning, step by step, trapping Gu Yu in this vast web. He did it so intricately that Gu Yu couldn't find any evidence to save himself.

  Gu Yan closed her eyes, coldly saying, "Fine, since you don't trust me, I admit it. I won't leave the Xiao family, no, I can't leave like this. Hand everything over to the police for investigation, I'm willing to cooperate with the investigation, I don't admit that I did this thing."

  Everyone was in an uproar, but unexpectedly, Gu Yan actually agreed to the investigation and refused to leave Xiao's house, saving himself.

  Xiao Qian was standing right behind Gu Yu, and upon hearing this, his tightly furrowed eyebrows relaxed in surprise, and his gaze turned to stare at Gu Yu in front of him in astonishment.

  Her back still had a few trembles, but until today, it was still straight and stubbornly made people feel suffocated.

  "Gu Yan, what are you talking about." Xiao Qian took two steps forward, looking at Gu Yan, "You're talking nonsense." He pulled Gu Yan's arm, letting him pass.

  However, Gu Yan seriously pushed Xiao Qian's hand away. "People's hearts are unfair, so isn't the law even more unfair? I hope the law will give me justice, won't it?"

  "Are you crazy?" Xiao Qian lowered his voice, staring fiercely at Gu Yu, "If you go in and leave a record, that's a stain for life."

  "But do I still have a choice? You've also seen it, the evidence is right in front of us, am I not speechless?!" Gu Yu sneered, pointing at the playback device behind him.

  "Who says you have to go to jail."

  At this time, a loud voice suddenly pierced through the crowd and came in.

  Everyone was stunned, and Gu Yan also raised his head in surprise.

  But saw outside.

  Behind Xiao Yi were the bodyguards and stewards of the Xiao family, their footsteps heavy and deliberate, making it impossible to ignore them.

  I didn't expect Xiao Yi to come to the company at this time...

  Just now they were still full of vigor and wanted to drive Gu Yu out of the company in minutes, but now they all shrank back into the crowd and didn't make a sound.

  As people at the entrance voluntarily parted to both sides, Xiao Ye quietly walked in.

  But standing there, the room was already quiet, as if a needle had fallen, and it could be heard clearly.

  Gu Yu took a step forward, looking at Xiao Yi, feeling complicated in her heart. For the first time, she only wanted to tell him that she really hadn't done it.

  But then Xiao Yi raised his hand and stopped Gu Yan.

  He looked at Gu Yan, his calm eyes were like a pool of still water, peaceful and serene, making the onlooker feel a sense of tranquility.

  He looked at Gu Yu deeply for a moment before raising his head and asking the crowd, "Who said to send Gu Yu to the police station?"

  Everyone was silent and no one dared to speak out at this time.

  Gu Yu pursed her lips, knowing that reality was indeed so, this wasn't a joke, it was a tragedy.

  "I'm only saying, your company's affairs are none of my business, but... the matter with Gu Yun is a Xiao family affair. Since it's a Xiao family affair, I have to take care of it. So... the Xiao family has taken over this case from the company."

  Some people widened their eyes and stared at Xiao Yi, feeling a little surprised.

  But even with all the amazement, I still dare not say a single word that is not true.

  Xiao Yi said, "You can rest assured, the Xiao family has its own principles for doing things. We won't favor anyone or let anyone off easily. If she did it, the Xiao family will handle it in a way that satisfies everyone. If she didn't...".
