Chapter 146 - Situation at the Office

Xie Yuansheng had to get an ice cream for his wife before they went back home. Feng Xinying was too tired and she slept as soon as she hit the pillow. Xie Yuansheng smiled at her when he saw how peacefully she was sleeping on his bed. She had changed into one of his shirts, since she didn't even bother to step in her bedroom. She had thrown her purse around and kicked her sandals here and there. Even her dress was strewn across the floor. He picked them all up patiently and placed them in an order. Then he changed into his pajamas and went to sleep next to her, curling his arms around her. He kissed her head and whispered, "Time that you shift here permanently." 

The next day, Feng Xinying used his bathroom and Xie Yuansheng had to bring her clothes just because she was in no mood to go to her bedroom and fetch her clothes. They went to have breakfast together. They were genuinely surprised to see Xei Weihui at the table. "How are you mother?" asked Xie Yuansheng, feeling nice to see her. Two people he loved the most were right there – his wife and his mother. Only his brother wasn't there and he missed his presence. 

"I am good Xie Yuansheng. There is something I have to talk to both of you…" she said with a lot of difficulty, as though trying to hide her emotions. 

"What is it mother? Do you need funds for the orphanage?" he asked. 

"No, no Xiao Sheng… There is something else…"

"Sure, tell me mother," he replied becoming attentive. 

Xie Weihui looked at Feng Xinying and bit her lip. "Feng Xinying, please listen to me with an open mind before you say anything, okay?" 

Feng Xinying frowned. This was the strangest request that was coming from Xei Weihui in so many months. She shrugged and said, "Okay." 

"Recently, I have been going to several places to find a child," started Xei Weihui. 

Xie Yuansheng took a bite from the baked fish that was in front of him and looked at her. He thought that perhaps she was talking about the orphanage. 

"Do you want me to help find that child?" he asked. 

"No…" she replied. 

"I have found the child…"

"Oh! That's nice…"

"The thing is…" Xei Weihui couldn't complete her sentence because Feng Xinying's phone started ringing. 

Feng Xinying picked the phone. It was from one of the secretaries in the company. Feng Xinying was genuinely surprised when the phone rang at this time. 

Xei Weihui stopped mid-sentence. 

"Ma'am, there is a serious situation at the office."

"What situation?" asked Feng Xinying frowning for the second time in the last five minutes. 

"It seems someone has hacked into the company's server. They have deleted every data regarding the swimwear project." 

Feng Xinying's face darkened. "What the hell do you mean?" she barked on the phone.

"Miss Xinying, I just came here because the IT people asked me to come and they reported it. Nothing else is touched except the swimwear project files. Those files have been deleted as though they never existed in the first place." 

"Okay, I am going there as soon as possible," said Feng Xinying and got up to go. 

"Xinying, wait. What happened? Why are you in a hurry to go?" asked Xie Yuansheng becoming worried. "Who called?"

"Xie Yuansheng, someone hacked into the company server. They have deleted all data about our swimwear project."

Xie Yuansheng narrowed his eyes. Who had the audacity to do this nonsense? If that person were from the underworld, he would personally take revenge for meddling with his wife's project. He picked his coat that was hanging on the chair and said, "I'll go with you." Then he looked at his aunt, "Sorry mother, let's continue this conversation later."

Xie Weihui pursed her lips and nodded. 

The couple left the house in a hurry. In the car Xie Yuansheng asked, "Don't you have its physical copy?" 

"Yes, I do have it. It is in my office drawer," she answered as though thinking of something. 

"I am surprised Xie Yuansheng. Why did the hacker delete only the project related to swimwear? I mean we have so many other projects on our server, why target only this one?" 

Xie Yuansheng exhaled heavily. 

"Obviously someone is trying to mess with me," said Feng Xinying. "If they have access to this file, they have access to all other files. Call your IT guys and tell them to change all the passwords, update security firewalls as in now."

"Feng Xinying, they must have already done that. Don't panic about that part."

Feng Xinying nodded and then went back into her thinking mode. She just couldn't pinpoint anyone who would go to the extent of deleting the project she had been working so diligently on. 

When they reached the office, they saw that there were several employees from the IT section around a desk. Feng Xinying went close to that desk and found that Yun Chen was sitting over there crying away. 

"I don't know how to hack, and why will I hack. I have access to all the company's files. If I have to delete I will just delete them," she said as she cried.
