Chapter 32: Drunken Haze

Lin Yuan was still eavesdropping.

But just then, a cleaning lady came to Li Jiayi's office to clean.

Li Jiayi feared the phone would be heard by the cleaning lady, so she simply walked out of the office.

Lin Yuan hurriedly chased after her, hiding near Li Jiayi's office.

Lin Yuan secretly followed Li Jiayi into the fire escape stairwell.

Li Jiayi walked into the fire escape stairwell and continued her call with Young Master Qian on the phone.

Meanwhile, Lin Yuan hid quietly on the fire escape stairwell; since there was no bug here, he could only take out his phone and secretly film, intending to record Li Jiayi's call video.

"Ding-ling-ling!" Just then, Lin Yuan's phone ringtone suddenly sounded!

Lin Yuan was startled, his face changed?! He looked at the phone caller ID: 【Zhou Xinyi】

Ex-girlfriend Zhou Xinyi?

Weren't they already broken up? Why is she calling?

In a panic, Lin Yuan hastily hung up and set his phone to silent.

But Li Jiayi downstairs had already noticed.

Li Jiayi hurriedly ran up; when she saw it was Lin Yuan, her pretty face suddenly changed.

"Lin Yuan?!"

Li Jiayi tried to step forward and snatch Lin Yuan's phone.

Lin Yuan stepped back a few steps: "Li Jiayi, Director Su usually treats you well, doesn't he? I never expected you to be betraying Director Su, collaborating with the Qian Shi Group—do you have the face to face Director Su?"

Li Jiayi's pretty face suddenly changed, she tried to argue: "Lin Yuan, don't talk nonsense! I haven't betrayed the company!"

Lin Yuan directly opened his phone, playing the covertly recorded audio he had just captured.

Swish~!

Upon hearing the recording, Li Jiayi's face turned utterly grim.

She never expected her office to also have been bugged?

The conversation she just had in her office with the Qian Shi Group's young master was all recorded!

"Lin Yuan, I beg you, don't tell Director Su… please… I… I was also forced…" Li Jiayi pleaded, trembling.

On her exquisite, stunning face, only pleading remained.

"No chance left, Li Jiayi—leaking company secrets, you've committed the crime of infringing trade secrets." Lin Yuan said coldly.

Seeing this, Li Jiayi suddenly rushed forward and shoved Lin Yuan against the wall.

"Lin Yuan, as long as you don't tell Director Su… I'll split the income from selling company secrets with you half… moreover, I… I can also let you enjoy my body…" Saying this, Li Jiayi slowly unbuttoned her white shirt.

To keep the secret, Li Jiayi went all out.

She is very good-looking, belonging to the internet-celebrity level of beauty, and her figure is also top-notch.

Such temptation, few men can resist.

But Lin Yuan shoved her away, saying, "Director Li, please show some self-respect."

Lin Yuan rejected Li Jiayi's idea of joining forces in corruption.

Seeing Lin Yuan unwilling to agree, Li Jiayi broke down, her stocking-clad knees suddenly dropping to the ground.

"Lin Yuan, I really have no choice… please, let me go…" Li Jiayi actually knelt on the ground, pleading.

Lin Yuan, seeing her suddenly kneel, was also taken aback??

"Lin Yuan, I… I have difficulties…" Li Jiayi knelt on the ground, her stunning face glistening with tears.

At this moment, she appeared pitifully delicate.

Lin Yuan's heart softened a bit: "What difficulties do you have? Must you betray the company? Betray Director Su?"

……

Half an hour later, Hangchengshi, Province People's Hospital.

Intensive Care Unit.

Li Jiayi brought Lin Yuan into the intensive care unit.

"This is my mom… she has uremia, needing weekly dialysis blood changes, requiring huge medical expenses… if she doesn't pay for dialysis, my mom will die… I, I really have no choice, so I was forced to sell company information to pay my mom's medical fees…" Li Jiayi said, voice breaking.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan's heart softened.

He thought of his deceased grandfather and his parents burdened with debt.

"Sigh…" Lin Yuan let out a sigh.

In the end, he chose to let Li Jiayi go.

But Lin Yuan also warned Li Jiayi not to act as a spy again.

Li Jiayi agreed, saying that from today onward she would cut ties with the Qian Shi Group… and would not betray the company again.

……

Evening, after work.

Su Monong asked Lin Yuan whether he had found the spy.

Lin Yuan, to help Li Jiayi, concealed it, saying he hadn't found a spy.

Li Jiayi's mother suffers from uremia; Li Jiayi cannot lose her job, otherwise her mother will die.

Lin Yuan ultimately helped Li Jiayi keep it concealed.

"If you can't find the spy, you'll lose your job, you know?" Su Monong asked lightly while sitting in the car.

Lin Yuan drove ahead, he sighed: "Director Su, it's my work that's not going well. But Director Su, you wouldn't let me be fired, would you?"

Lin Yuan guessed that Su Monong would not let him be fired.

He had already become Director Su's white glove; would Su Monong let his own white glove be fired?

Su Monong glanced at him with her beautiful eyes, slowly said, "You're not too stupid; I indeed have a way to keep you. But I'm currently dissatisfied with your work—first suspend you for a few days, observe and see."

How could Su Monong let Lin Yuan quit so easily?

The man she chose—she couldn't possibly let him be fired so easily.

But some discipline is still needed.

"Um, okay." Lin Yuan said.

After sending Su Monong home, Lin Yuan drove back to his rented apartment.

On the way, Li Jiayi called him, saying she wanted to invite Lin Yuan to dinner to thank him.

Lin Yuan refused, but Li Jiayi pleaded repeatedly, so he reluctantly agreed.

Li Jiayi invited Lin Yuan to her home.

Her home is in an old residential complex in Hangcheng.

Li Jiayi is single, so she lives alone.

Lin Yuan arrived at her home; Li Jiayi had already prepared a table of dishes and opened a bottle of white liquor, inviting Lin Yuan to drink.

Lin Yuan originally wanted to refuse, after all he had driven. But after Li Jiayi's repeated pleas, he couldn't resist and drank several cups of white liquor.

Li Jiayi drank a lot of liquor; gradually she became drunk, her pretty face flushed crimson.

She was tipsy, her long hair loosely hanging; at this moment, drunk, she appeared very sensual and alluring.

Li Jiayi, tipsy, suddenly leaned against Lin Yuan's shoulder.

"Lin Yuan, tonight, why don't you stay instead of leaving? Okay? Stay… keep me company…" Li Jiayi said in a tipsy voice.

Whoosh—Lin Yuan's expression changed; he hurriedly pushed Li Jiayi away, "Director Li, you're drunk."

A hint of self-mockery flashed across Li Jiayi's delicate pretty face: "Heh… do you think I'm dirty? Or that I'm not good-looking?"

Lin Yuan shook his head: "No, Director Li, don't be like that. You're very beautiful, but I have a girlfriend."

Li Jiayi is indeed beautiful; she is in her thirties and still single. She is alluring and bewitching.

Especially after drinking liquor, her charm becomes even more abundant.

But Lin Yuan has principles and self-awareness; he cannot have a relationship with Li Jiayi.

Li Jiayi, tipsy, drank a few more cups of liquor.

Lin Yuan wanted to dissuade her, but Li Jiayi pushed him away: "Don't bother me…"

Li Jiayi was already stinking drunk, her delicate body limp, her pretty face flushed like a red apple, and the buttons of her white shirt had come undone unintentionally.

At the V-neck of her chest, a breathtaking scene was revealed.

This startled Lin Yuan.

The sea embraces a hundred rivers; great capacity brings greatness.

My apologies, my apologies.

Li Jiayi's figure is even astonishing.

Li Jiayi, tipsy, rose and said, "I'm going to the restroom…"

She said, supporting herself against the wall as she walked into the bathroom…

She, tipsy, took off her stockings, sitting on the toilet, relieving herself…

But just after finishing, she was about to stand up to put on her stockings—yet she had drunk too much and couldn't stand steady.

"Ah…" Li Jiayi slipped and fell to the bathroom floor…

Her stockings weren't even on yet, directly exposed…

From the bathroom came Li Jiayi's sobbing.

"Director Li, what's wrong?" Lin Yuan, somewhat worried, rushed into the bathroom…

But upon opening the bathroom door, the sight inside made Lin Yuan's face instantly flush…
