Chapter 740 Spotted

"Guiying!!!"

Chyou jumped and twirled with her as she hugged her hard. Guiying stared at her dazzling beauty with her mouth wide open and her cheeks blushed hard with being in proximity to the Queen of Entertainment industry.

It wasn't like Guiying hadn't met her before, but she had never gotten many chances to talk to her. Like Ai, she was also Chyou's fan who never failed to watch her movies. Chyou was an aspiring figure to her, similar to how Ai was.

Guiying was hesitant to contact Chyou on her own, so she asked Yating, who seemed to be on closer terms with her. Yating was happy to help.

But at this moment, a certain figure wasn't so happy because Chyou enjoyed the sparkling gazes and the red tints of blushes which he wanted all for himself.

"Th-thank you for meeting me on such a short n-notice..." Guiying breathed hard. "I know you are super busy. B-But I would just like to say that I am a big fan. I love you a lot!" n--OvelbIn

"..."

Zixin touched his chest and could feel something shattering inside it. It was just yesterday that he was urging her to say the three magical words back to him. She ran away from that confession, but now Chyou stole the 'I love you' part from him too.

He pressed his lips and threw his gaze at her filled with burning resentment.

"You okay?" Yating asked.

"No."

"Why not?"

"How come she is getting all the things so easily from Guiying which I have been desperately wanting from her?"

"Because she is Zhu Chyou and you aren't?"

"..."

"Can you compare to the Queen?"

"..."

"Accept your fate and move on. You will always be second in Guiying's heart. Chyou has that charm on her fans."

"I am also charming."

"Everybody fails miserably before Chyou," he smiled and patted his shoulder.

On the other side, Chyou nodded gravely. "I see. I understand now. Your guess is a hundred percent right. Somebody definitely accessed your email."

"I believe or I think that it could be Zheng Jiao..."

Zixin tilted his head. "Why her?"

"Well..."

She gave a short gist of what transpired between them last week. Zixin's expression fell to a sea of darkness.

How can a department head poach a CEO's assistant in his own company?

"Why didn't you tell me before?"

"I didn't feel much about it then, plus I had already rejected her."

Also, how could I cause trouble against a department head when I just joined?

Chyou proudly smirked. "Do not fear when Chyou is here. I will prove Zheng Jiao's guilt for you, hoho~

She tapped her fingers across Guiying's laptop's keyboard where she tried to find any traces of remote bugs installed in her computer, but she couldn't find any. She connected her system with her software, but the result came to null.

Chyou tilted her head. "Strange. My software can catch any suspicious bugs installed in the system. Even if they are deleted permanently."

"What does it mean?"

"It means your laptop wasn't remotely accessed and controlled."

"But then my laptop was always with me. Nobody else has used it."

"I will check the IT department's CCTV footage to see if it was tampered with. No matter how capable the hacker is, I can catch everything."

She punched in a few lines of code and pressed Enter. But the software didn't return with any malicious code or foreign entry once again.

"The footage is clean. It wasn't altered at all. There is no way my software won't catch the alteration of timestamps and video clips. It didn't catch anything because nothing happened at all."

Guiying looked dumbfounded.

"So there is no evidence against Zheng Jiao? Or in other words she is innocent?"

"Let's look at this way. So this mail was sent a day later at 12.31 PM. The day after you sent the meeting invite to Xian Shun. Do you remember what happened around this time?"

She thought long and hard about it but shook her head. "I was working at my desk with Assistant Ling as usual. Then we chatted with Miss. Jia Lin who came to submit a report. Then we went for lunch. That's all. Oh. But I remember that it was after the lunch break that my laptop broke. I mean I couldn't switch it on no matter what."

Chyou narrowed her eyes. "Something definitely happened within the time frame of that lunch break."

Her fingers flew once again on the keyboard and this time she checked the camera footage of the CEO's office at the suspicious timeframe.

Guiying leaned in and saw herself working at her desk. Then Assistant Ling left for a few minutes to talk to Zixin around when Jia Lin hopped by to talk to her. They talked and laughed for sometime after which she left too. Fast-forward half an hour later, Zixin's office was empty as they all headed to lunch break.

Guiying put all her focus on the next part. But still there wasn't a trace of any soul. It showed them returning forty-five minutes later back to work.

"Bingo!" Chyou exclaimed. "My baby is catching something here. This recording isn't as clean as it looks like."

"You mean this was altered?"

"From what I see, yes. Somebody sneaked in Zixin's office during lunch break, opened your laptop, sent the mail and left."

"But you said you didn't find any traces of bugs or suspicious files installed in my laptop. Then how did they know my password?"

Chyou smirked and devilishly rubbed her hands. "We will get all the answers once I retrieve the original footage and find the dirty culprit!"

"She is enjoying this," Yating shook his head. "Just look at her. She looks like she found some treasure."

Guiying patiently waited till she worked her magic with her heart pounding faster in her chest. She kept thinking who might have an agenda against her, but she couldn't find any name except Zheng Jiao.

"Got the hit!"

Chyou replayed the original version of the footage of that day and to Guiying's shock, the person to enter Zixin's office and approach Guiying's desk was none other than Jia Lin.
