When Mo Ting’s hand touched hers, Chi Xiao’s body stiffened slightly. After a while, he said, “Yes, we must nip the danger in the bud.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Chi Xiao’s phone rang.

“Boss, there’s movement from Mo Xuan’s side.”

Jin Mao’s voice came from the other side. With some excitement, he said, “Boss, there was an anonymous phone call to Mo Xuan. She said some rather provocative words.”

“We followed the location and chased after him. He’s at an uncompleted building.”

Chi Xiao paused and asked in return, “Uncompleted building?”

Jin Mao replied, “Yes, I searched the surveillance cameras around the uncompleted building again. In the past two days, I didn’t find anyone going over, nor did I find anyone coming out. Therefore, I suspect that that person didn’t leave or use some other technology to replace the surveillance cameras.”

Chi Xiao listened to Jin Mao’s words and her expression slowly became serious. “Continue investigating. How’s Mo Xuan?”

“Mo Xuan’s condition is a little strange. He seems to have been incited by that person and wants to compete with Young Master Mo. However, he doesn’t seem to care too much. Right now, Mo Xuan is looking for trouble with a female employee.”

“Looking for trouble with a female employee?” Chi Xiao was surprised.

Mo Xuan was finally incited. Instead of looking for Mo Ting, he went to deal with a female employee?

Did that female employee dig up the Mo family’s ancestral grave?

The sound of typing came from the Jin Mao’s end. “That female employee and Mo Xuan have a somewhat improper relationship.”

Zhu Ting’s recent days had not been easy at all.

The colleagues around her were not very close to her because of her publicity a few days ago. The team leader, who had taken good care of her, also often looked for trouble with her these two days.

Thus, Zhu Ting was entrusted by her colleagues to deliver the materials to the team leader.

Her colleague said it in a pleasant manner, “The team leader values you the most. It is more appropriate for you to deliver these materials. Please help me.”

Zhu Ting had no way to refuse.

With the materials in hand, Zhu Ting walked to the door of the team leader’s office. She prepared herself mentally before knocking on the door and entering. However, the moment she entered, she was scolded by the team leader.

“Won’t you wait until I say you can enter when you knock on the door? Don’t you have any manners?”

For the sake of her future plans, Zhu Ting had no choice but to lower her head and apologize to the team leader.

Only then did the team leader’s expression become a little better as he asked, “Speak, what’s wrong?”

Zhu Ting placed the materials on the team leader’s desk and said gently, “These are the materials that you want. I’ve brought them.”

She inadvertently took the initiative to show her enthusiasm.

The team leader glanced at Zhu Ting from the corner of his eyes. He picked up the materials, flipped through them, and said coldly, “Do you think that because you and Second Young Master Mo are very close, we have to spoil you?”

Zhu Ting shook her head like a little rabbit, and her eyes turned red immediately.

However, the team leader didn’t buy it at all. He sneered and said, “Remember your duty. Don’t lose your job because of some thoughts that you shouldn’t have. It’s not worth it, don’t you think so?”

Zhu Ting felt a little embarrassed. She felt that she had lost all her face.

The team leader didn’t say anything more and waved his hand to signal Zhu Ting to leave.

After confirming that she had left, the team leader made a call to Mo Xuan.

When the call was picked up, the team leader nodded and bowed. “President Mo, the matter has been settled. I have already told Zhu Ting following your instructions.”

Mo Xuan nodded and hung up.

The more Zhu Ting thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong. Previously, the team leader had clearly been very attentive to her because of her relationship with Mo Xuan. What was the meaning of this now?

Could it be that there was something wrong with Mo Xuan?

Feeling uneasy, Zhu Ting called Mo Xuan. After the call was connected, Zhu Ting frowned and acted coquettishly in a sad manner. “Xuan Dear, our team leader is so strict.”

Her voice was sweet and oiled, as if she had applied a hundred layers of butter.

However, on the other end of the line, Mo Xuan did not feel any heartache at all. Instead, he replied faintly, “Huh?”

Zhu Ting felt even more uneasy. Her eyes stared at one spot without focus. “Xuan Dear, can you help me?”

The person on the other end seemed to smile and asked her, “How do you want me to help you?”

Once these words were said, Zhu Ting did not know what to say. For a moment, she was at a loss. After that, she reacted to Mo Xuan’s words like she was in a trance. In the end, she did not even know how to hang up the phone.

Zhu Ting bit her lips. She did not understand why the fish that she had raised was suddenly like this.

Could it be that her fish pond had been blown up and the fish had escaped?

The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. Zhu Ting called the person who had set her up with Mo Xuan, but the number was unavailable.

Zhu Ting paused. She nervously kept calling that number, but in the end, she got nothing.

When Zhu Ting calmed down and retraced the events that had happened during this period, she realized that she might have been schemed against.

The owner of that number, the person who had seduced her into cheating on Mo Xuan, had done it on purpose!

She had deliberately stirred up her vanity, deliberately made her dissatisfied with Mo Xuan, and wanted the more powerful Mo Ting.

Perhaps she had also called that day on purpose, in order to create evidence and hand it over to Mo Xuan!
