"First, let’s get the facts straight. Liu i was one of the first people to join , and she’s very trustworthy. I wouldn’t have handed the finances over to her otherwise. I want to understand the situation, and reporting to the authorities might not be as efficient as handling it ourselves."
Qian Chengxue replied very calmly.
"True, but don’t worry too much; no matter what happens, I’m here for you."
Su Mo reached out and grasped Qian Chengxue’s soft right hand, comforting her.
Qian Chengxue felt a warm sensation inside, her heart growing ever calr.
.....
Not long after, Qian Chengxue parked her hovercar at the company entrance.
Sun Li and the others were anxiously waiting at the gate.
Seeing Qian Chengxue’s hovercar stop, they imdiately approached.
Qian Chengxue and Su Mo got out of the car.
"Sister Xue, Su Mo, you’re finally back."
Sun Li said, a bit flustered. It wasn’t that Sun Li couldn’t handle stress, but losing so much money had her terrified.
"Have you found Liu i?"
Qian Chengxue asked directly.
"Chen ng and the others are searching, but they haven’t found her yet. But don’t worry, Sister Xue, just give them so ti; they will definitely find her."
Sun Li quickly explained.
"Have you checked the surveillance footage? Are you sure it was Liu i?"
Qian Chengxue asked calmly.
"Checked it already, confird it was Liu i. She fled imdiately after, didn’t even take the copied tools. She had planned this for a long ti."
Tang Yao stated clearly.
"This Liu i is too much, especially since Sister Xue treated her so well."
Sun Li was almost furious.
"Everyone, don’t rush. Once we find her, it’ll be easier to resolve. Our money isn’t that easy to swallow; if soone wants to take it, they better have strong teeth."
Su Mo calmly reassured everyone. If soone was behind this, he would definitely deal with the mastermind severely. But if Liu i orchestrated it, he planned to let Qian Chengxue handle it herself.
"Su Mo is right. Let’s go back to the company and wait for news."
Qian Chengxue calmly addressed everyone.
"Alright."
Sun Li and the sisters nodded with bowed heads.
Monts later, Su Mo and Qian Chengxue returned to the private office.
The atmosphere in the office was very oppressive and cold.
Su Mo hurriedly poured a glass of water for Qian Chengxue, saying.
"Have so water first."
"Thank you."
Qian Chengxue, sowhat distracted, picked up the cup and took a sip.
Seeing Qian Chengxue was in low spirits, Su Mo comforted her: "Maybe there’s more to this. Normally Liu i shouldn’t have the guts to transfer so much money. Where could she run with that amount? Maybe she was coerced."
"I hope so."
Although Qian Chengxue was very concerned about the Star Coin, what hurt her more was Liu i’s betrayal.
They had grown up together as sisters, always sharing a deep bond.
"Have you noticed anything odd about Liu i at work recently?"
"Not really; everything seed normal. In fact, you don’t have to comfort . Liu i must have been planning this for a long ti; it’s not sothing that could be done impulsively. Whatever the reason, she definitely has issues."
Qian Chengxue sighed deeply.
Su Mo listening to Qian Chengxue, stayed silent; she was absolutely right.
The office fell into silence.
Qian Chengxue occasionally looked up at her phone, waiting for a call from the search team.
Suddenly, Qian Chengxue felt a jolt and rembered sothing, turning abruptly to look at Su Mo.
Su Mo felt a bit uneasy being watched and managed a slight smile.
"What’s up?"
"Su Mo, when you resigned, why didn’t you reply to my ssage?"
"What? I didn’t ignore your ssage. Wait, it was who sent you a ssage asking to et before leaving; you replied saying you might not have ti, leaving sitting all night at the restaurant by the station."
Su Mo replied, bewildered.
"I replied to you?"
Anger surfaced on Qian Chengxue’s face.
Su Mo was taken aback and asked, "Yes, what’s wrong?"
"I rember my father ca to see that day, and I left my phone in the office. Liu i was there too; she must have ssed with it."
Qian Chengxue realized imdiately.
Su Mo was slightly stunned after hearing this, then showed an expression of delight.
It turned out Qian Chengxue cared about him all along, lucky he hadn’t missed out, haha!
But Su Mo managed to keep a serious face; Qian Chengxue was very angry, so he couldn’t just burst out laughing.
"Uh, ha..."
Su Mo was about to say sothing comforting but couldn’t help wanting to laugh.
"Hmph?"
Qian Chengxue’s cold deanor led to a slight frown, a puzzled look at Su Mo.
"Cough cough, forget I said anything."
Su Mo imdiately straightened his face, becoming very solemn.
...
Several days later in the evening, Su Mo entered the company, finding Sun Li and the others sitting in chairs, looking absent-minded and dispirited.
The other ladies at the company all seed very uneasy, and the atmosphere was quite oppressive.
It’s been quite so ti since Liu i embezzled the funds, and she still hasn’t been found.
In desperation, Sun Li had to go to the police station, and now the Federation is searching for her everywhere.
Even with that, no trace of her has been found.
It’s as if she vanished into thin air.
This had caused a chain reaction, giving everyone a sense of crisis.
Originally, they were all sisters; now with a traitor, who knows if there might be others among them.
"Why do you all look so down?"
Su Mo greeted Sun Li and the others as casually as possible.
"No reason."
Sun Li replied unenthusiastically, the trouble with Liu i had left the entire company in a state of semi-paralysis, and no one felt like working.
Moreover, due to the scandal at Chenxi Company, it had hit the trending news, a complete embarrassnt.
"Cough cough, it’s already ti to clock out; aren’t you all going ho?"
Su Mo asked with a cough.
"Don’t want to go ho."
Sun Li took a deep breath in response.
"No need to look so glum, the real losers aren’t you, it’s the main party here, and I haven’t said much!"
Su Mo replied with a smile.
"What’s the difference between you losing money and Sister Xue losing money?"
Sun Li replied with a bitter face.
"I like hearing that, haha."
Su Mo responded in good spirits.
But Sun Li and the others remained dispirited.
"Co on, cheer up! By the way, have you seen Qian Chengxue? Is she at the company? I just tried calling her, can’t get through, her phone’s off."
Su Mo asked after clearing his throat.
Sun Li hearing Su Mo’s question, looked up at him.
"Sister Xue isn’t with you?"
"Co on, I’m asking you, not the other way around!"
Su Mo replied, half-jokingly.
