Chapter 43 Supporting Huang Mengting

Su Xiao and Ji Yunshen walked on the stone road and unconsciously walked to Jinhu Park. Su Xiao walked in front, the cold wind by the lake was blowing on his cheeks, and his mood was much more relaxed.

Before they knew it, they had reached the Jinhu Bridge, and Su Xiao ran a few steps to the top, holding on to the guardrail and admiring the sparkling water. Ji Yunshen followed, stood beside her, and quietly accompanied her.

The wind on the bridge was a little wanton and colder. Su Xiao's hair was blown up by the wind, blocking his vision. She gently brushed her loose hair and pinned it behind her ear.

"How are you going to solve the red dress matter? The other side seems to have the right to win. Su Xiao stared at the lake and asked with some concern. She still didn't hold back, breaking the tacit agreement between them not to talk about work.

"The relevant departments will look for you tomorrow. You can cooperate. Don't worry about the rest. Ji Yunshen took off his coat and put it on Su Xiao's body, and said in a low voice.

Su Xiao didn't say anything more, looked into the distance, emptied his brain, and let himself stop thinking. She closed her eyes and felt the smell of the lake in her nose, a little cold, mixed with the smell of damp grass.

"It's a little late, let's go back." Ji Yunshen's slightly magnetic voice sounded.

Su Xiao felt Ji Yunshen staring at her eyes, and she smiled knowingly. It feels good to have someone who cares, I don't need to worry about anything, I can feel his presence all the time. As long as you smell his breath, you can feel at ease.

Su Xiao opened his eyes and turned to Ji Yunshen. She looked up at him with affection, and only his well-defined mouth was perfectly outlined. Ji Yunshen was infected by her feelings, and he lowered his head and kissed her. Su Xiao stood on tiptoe, grabbed Ji Yunshen's tie, and leaned up. The slight coolness between the lips is getting hotter and hotter. Su Xiao closed his eyes and felt it with his heart.

The cold wind surrounded them and entangled with them. Su Xiao forgot the feeling of coldness, and only Ji Yunshen was left in his heart.

"Shall we go back?" Ji Yunshen said while kissing while taking advantage of his breath. His breath was visibly disorganized, and some eagerness was unmistakable.

Su Xiao broke free from Ji Yunshen, chuckled and took a few steps back and said, "I'm inconvenient today." ”

As the words fell, she trotted down the stone bridge. Ji Yunshen suddenly felt that the wind on the bridge was very cold. He looked at Su Xiao's back and chuckled and followed.

"Is it clear to everyone? Now we need to cooperate with the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Security. Don't leave the office today, and communicate in time if there is an emergency. Qi Jiawen stood at the door of the design department and held a short meeting with everyone, and finally reminded him.

Everyone present nodded.

"Su Xiao, come here." Qi Jiawen called Su Xiao to leave before turning around.

Su Xiao followed her to the office of the Ministry of Security. Together, they entered the monitoring room. Liu Qi from the legal department is also there.

"Su Xiao, you recall your design process, when it started and when it ended, let's call up the monitoring according to this time node to see if there are any clues." The head of the security department said with some seriousness.

"I started working on the evening of August 20, and the first draft was drawn at home. It took almost three days to complete. During this time, I only sent an internal email to the director. Su Xiao looked through his circle of friends and said.

"Then let's start monitoring on August 21." Liu Qi from the Ministry of Justice said.

Soon, a person appeared in the surveillance, everything was clear, and she used her mobile phone to retake Su Xiao's design drawing.

"It can't be her." Su Xiao said firmly.

"Su Xiao, please write a detailed creation report, including the creative process, creative concept, etc. Finally, I attached all the design drafts and sent them to my internal mailbox as a compressed package. After watching the surveillance, Liu Qi had his own judgment, and he began to collect evidence.

Su Xiao nodded with some embarrassment.

"You go back first, don't make a noise." Qi Jiawen instructed Su Xiao with a serious expression, and his voice was a little weak.

Su Xiao returned to the office in a very low mood.

"What's wrong, Su Xiao." Lin Li saw that something was wrong with her, and walked over and asked with concern.

"Nothing. I need to write a report. Let's not talk about it yet. Su Xiao turned around and turned on the computer and began to tap on the keyboard.

At this time, Huang Mengting was called out. Su Xiao's body tensed instantly, like someone tugging at the heartstrings.

Lin Li noticed the changes in Su Xiao's body, and she was puzzled but didn't say anything, just sat next to Su Xiao and accompanied her.

Huang Mengting only received a message from Lin Zemin late last night: "It's late, I'll go to bed first." I'll talk about that tomorrow. ”

Huang Mengting didn't contact him again, and cried silently all night. She knew what was going to happen next, and she had to face it alone.

The next day, the edema and dark circles under her eyes were severe, and she applied ice for a long time and put on heavy makeup before she could barely see it.

She didn't know how she got to the monitoring room, she just felt that the road was long.

"Why are you doing that?" Qi Jiawen waited for Huang Mengting to finish watching the monitoring, and asked angrily and regretfully.

"Director Qi, please believe me, I really didn't do it. I'm just using it as a study piece. Since 'Warm Winter', I have recognized Su Xiao's design from the bottom of my heart. When I saw this work, I was inspired, so I wanted to take a closer look. My latest pomegranate dress was inspired by Su Xiao's silk satin and lace. A puffy skirt with a whole layer of embroidered satin and lace. Director Qi, you should be able to perceive it. Huang Mengting spoke a little fast, trying to defend herself.

"It's not right for you to do that. You can ask Su Xiao directly for the design drawing. Why such a approach? Qi Jiawen was very angry.

"I... I've always been at odds with Su Xiao, and I also feel embarrassed. Huang Mengting hesitated for a while and whispered.

"You cooperate with the investigation. Everything speaks with evidence. Qi Jiawen couldn't control his anger and said coldly.

Huang Mengting felt ashamed and aggrieved, and sobbed in a low voice.

After a while, Liu Qi asked her to show her phone and flipped out the photos from it. Liu Qi arranged for people to collect evidence one by one.

"Have you ever mentioned this to anyone?" Liu Qi asked.

"Nope." Huang Mengting thought about it seriously and said.

"Have you ever posted or sent it to someone else?"

"Nope. I'll just watch for myself. ”

"I need you to provide the call history and email sending records after the 26th, as well as the payment records of your bank card. Are these available? ”

"Okay. No problem. Huang Mengting nodded and said.

...

"If you have anything missing or thinking of something, communicate with the legal department in time." After Liu Qi finished speaking, he put away the record book.

"Okay."

"Director Qi, I'm fine here for the time being." Liu Qi turned to Qi Jiawen and said.

"Okay. Thank you very much. Qi Jiawen replied politely.

Qi Jiawen and Huang Mengting walked out of the monitoring room one after the other.

"Sister Su Xiao, how are you?" Qin Ying walked over and looked very worried.

"Qin Ying, I'm fine. You don't have to worry about me, take care of yourself. Su Xiao took Qin Ying's hand and swept her gaze over Qin Ying's stomach.

"Sister Su Xiao, I'm fine. Rest assured. Qin Ying's voice was obviously lowered and she said.

"Hmm. Go back. Su Xiao was worried that she would get tired after standing for a long time, so she hurriedly said.

At this time, Su Xiao saw Huang Mengting, who was obviously with tears, returning to the office. She felt very uncomfortable.

She hesitated for a moment and went to Qi Jiawen's office.

"You're done with your report?" Qi Jiawen had just returned from the monitoring room, and he was in a very unhappy mood, and his voice was obviously unpleasant.

"Not yet. I just want to..."Su Xiao suddenly didn't know how to speak.

"Huang Mengting's business?" Qi Jiawen sat down and pressed his forehead twice with his hand, then raised his head and said.

"I don't know why she did that. But I'm sure it must not be her leaked design draft. Su Xiao's last expression was very affirmative, she tried her best to help Huang Mengting.

"The legal department is doing an investigation, let's wait for the results." Qi Jiawen didn't want to say more, and deliberately ended the conversation.

"Director Qi, please believe me, and please find a way to help her. She's really talented, she can't just do that..."Su Xiao was a little emotional, and she was congested when she thought of what might happen to Huang Mengting next.

"Aren't you at odds? Why do you want to protect her so much? Qi Jiawen looked at Su Xiao with some incomprehension.

"We used to be good friends, and I've always cherished that friendship in my heart. Although now we... but I don't want anything to happen to her. Su Xiao said very sincerely.

"We don't want anything to happen to her. But in any case, her approach is not advisable. Qi Jiawen's tone softened a lot.

Su Xiao didn't speak, slowly calming down his emotions.

"You go back first." Qi Jiawen was also very helpless, she could only wait for the results of the investigation to come out before making plans.

"Sorry to interrupt." Su Xiao whispered and withdrew from the director's office.

As soon as Su Xiao was about to walk into the office, he saw Huang Mengting pushing the door and running out, looking very sad. Su Xiao was worried that something was going to happen, so she chased out in the direction that Huang Mengting left. Xiao Liu and Lin Li also ran out.

Su Xiao chased Huang Mengting down the fire escape to the stairwell. Huang Mengting sat on the steps and cried sadly.

"Mengting, don't cry." Su Xiao squatted down and persuaded in a low voice.

Huang Mengting cried to herself, but there was no response.

"Mengting, I saw the surveillance. I believe you, and I know it must not have been you who leaked it. Su Xiao said very seriously.

Huang Mengting finally stopped crying, she raised her head and looked at Su Xiao, a little incredulous.

"Now is not the time to cry, but to find the culprit together." Su Xiao's expression was very sincere, and she held Huang Mengting's hand and said.

"Su Xiao, I..." Huang Mengting wanted to say something but couldn't, she had mixed feelings.

"We won't talk about anything else right now. Let's all work together and think about what else is possible. Su Xiao continued to comfort Huang Mengting, and while talking, she looked at Xiao Liu and Lin Li, who came over together.

"Yes, let's face it together." Lin Li followed and said.

Xiao Liu was a little embarrassed, but then said: "Huang Mengting, I look down on you like this." It's not like you at all. ”

"You're just flying." Huang Mengting said with a smile.

"Let's go back." Huang Mengting stood up after speaking.

She looked at Su Xiao and the others, the expression on her face became firm, and she felt that she had enough courage to face this matter.
