“Does he know who leaked the confidential information?”
Meng Jingwei was quite surprised, having never expected such a major incident to occur.
Just a few days ago, he had mentioned that Anthony would be coming to Lancheng soon. Lancheng had been experiencing unrest recently; could this matter be related to Anthony?
“We haven’t found out yet,” Qi He replied.
“Alright. You two should rest for a while, and then continue investigating Shu Yao’s whereabouts tomorrow.”
“Okay, President Meng.”
Qi He hung up the phone.
The spacious ward fell into silence.
The stillness was like ants gnawing at her heart, making her unable to find peace.
The liquidated damages and compensation alone amounted to fifty billion, indicating the magnitude of the business. The ripple effect would lead to even greater, immeasurable losses.
Meng Jingwei leaned against the headboard, sighing deeply.
“Even with such a significant event, he still doesn’t want to tell me.”
She shook her head, feeling that Qing Muye was protecting her too much, treating her like a delicate flower in a greenhouse.
There would be more challenges and obstacles in the future; she couldn’t let him face everything alone.
Late at night, Meng Jingwei couldn’t sleep.
She slid down the drainpipe outside the bathroom window for three floors, slipped into the bathroom on the twenty-first floor, tiptoed out, and found that the patients were all asleep. She then boldly walked out.
After leaving the hospital, Meng Jingwei took a taxi back to her apartment, changed her clothes, grabbed a laptop, and drove out of the city center.
On the way, she took out her phone and dialed, “Sorry to bother you so late, are you asleep?”
“Calling so late, what’s up?”
“In half an hour, I’ll be waiting for you at your private detective agency.”
With that, Meng Jingwei hung up the phone.
Driving to the outskirts, Meng Jingwei stopped her car in front of a private residence and walked up to knock on the door.
A moment later, someone came to open the door. “I have an appointment with your boss.”
Meng Jingwei said, and then walked in.
She went up to the third floor and sat in the reception room, drinking plain water by herself.
Before long, a man with blonde hair and blue eyes appeared in the reception room. Upon seeing Meng Jingwei, he grinned, “Let me guess, you’re here about Qing Muye’s business, aren’t you?”
Meng Jingwei rested her elbows on the table, propping her head, and looked at him sideways, “Boss Lu is indeed exceptionally intelligent. No wonder you can operate a private detective agency under everyone’s noses and also be the boss of Huayu Media. I’ve always been curious, how do you juggle these two identities?”
That’s right, the boss of the private detective agency was Lu Sen of Huayu Media.
Because Meng Jingwei had good hacking skills, she was quite well-known in the hacker community.
Once, when she was trying to investigate her adoptive father’s car accident and was at her wit’s end, she asked in a group chat if there were any private detectives in Lancheng. Someone recommended this unassuming detective agency.
After that, Meng Jingwei unexpectedly met Lu Sen. At the time, she wasn't sure about his identity.
It wasn't until later interactions, and her encounters with Lu Sen at Huayu Media, that she confirmed the owner of the private detective agency was Lu Sen.
“If you knew everything, how would I make a living from now on?”
Lu Sen sat opposite Meng Jingwei, crossed his legs, took a cigarette from his pack, lit it, and took a puff.
He looked at Meng Jingwei with cold eyes and shook his head, “You know I don’t welcome you, why are you still here looking for me?”
“We’ve worked together before, Boss Lu, so please don’t hold such a grudge.”
Meng Jingwei knew Lu Sen resented her because she had poached Qi He and his partner from him previously.
Qi He was highly capable and was greatly valued by Lu Sen.
Initially, Meng Jingwei only suspected Lu Sen’s connection to the private detective agency. Later, after racking her brain and subtly extracting information from Qi He, she confirmed Lu Sen’s identity.
