Chapter 417: The Ruthless Character

After Geng Jing Shu finished this phone call, her heart kept thumping nonstop; she simply didn't know what would happen next.

But she really couldn't think of anyone else to turn to; the only person she could think of was Zhao Yixuan.

Geng Jing Shu also hoped that Zhao Yixuan would step up at this moment; since it was already time to lay cards on the table, she knew there were some things he didn't need to hide, and it would be better to tell him directly, which would feel more satisfying.

But when he dialed the number, the phone only rang twice before Zhao Yixuan on the other end hung up.

What Zhao Yixuan said today was indeed strange; perhaps something urgent had come up, so he called again.

This time, after the phone rang twice, Zhao Yixuan quickly answered.

"Hey, Yixuan, where are you?"

"What's wrong? Is something the matter?"

When Zhao Yixuan spoke, his tone was icy cold, and it was obvious he seemed to have some complaints directed at himself.

"Just now, Xiao Yun Zhe suddenly called me, saying he wanted to meet me at a square park square; I suspect he knows the truth, so what should I do?"

"I know, I know; he'll definitely find out. In this situation, I've already launched the product and plan into the market. I believe that if he's not stupid, he'll surely uncover everything."

"And then what if he finds out? I know he won't be able to keep it hidden forever, but should I confront him now? Yixuan, what should I do?"

"Geng Jing Shu, if this had happened before, I would definitely have found a way to handle it, but now I'm afraid I can't help you; I'm barely holding on myself."

"What are you saying? You can't even protect yourself? What on earth has happened?"

"I ask you, when you gave me all those core data back then, are you sure you didn't record anything?"

"Missing something? No, I copied everything onto a USB drive, and there were also some photos—I already gave them all to you."

"No, you're missing a core piece of data; without it, our plan couldn't last long, and now we're just struggling along."

After he said that, Geng Jing Shu naturally understood what was going on; back then it was Geng Tianhua who insisted she keep those things, otherwise she'd have no way out now.

"Well, I don't understand that either."

"No matter what method you use, you must find a way to obtain that core data."

"You're joking? He's already starting to suspect me, and you still want me to get that data—aren't you just pushing me onto a dead end?"

"I don't care if it's a dead end; under these circumstances I can't let you keep going like this—you must get that core data, no matter how."

At this moment, Zhao Yixuan really seemed unable to stay calm, and he blurted out everything.

"Zhao Yixuan, didn't you once tell me you'd never force me to do anything? But now your attitude seems to have completely changed."

"That's right, I have indeed changed—it's because you're forcing me now. I never imagined I'd end up like this after going back and forth."

"So what? Worst case, you just quit that company and we start our lives over—wouldn't that work?"

"Start over? You're joking—do you have any idea how long I've struggled at this company, how long I've persisted? Now you want me to quit; do you think I could do that?"

"Zhao Yixuan, what exactly do you mean—are you saying I should just not care about this now?"

"It's not that I don't care about you; I'm saying I really can't lure you back now, so I truly can't help—sorry."

"Fine, Zhao Yixuan—I never expected all of this to be fake on your part, and I, still clueless, have been taking responsibility for everything for you; now I finally see your true colors."

"Geng Jing Shu, how dare you say that about me? Who should we blame for all this? And if it weren't for you arbitrarily taking all those things and even leaking the core data, wouldn't we already be at the peak of success?"

"Enough, I don't want to talk about this anymore—let's leave it at that; you handle it yourself."

After saying that, he immediately hung up; at that moment his heart truly ached.

He then went to the computer, copied the data from it onto his own USB drive, knowing that since Zhao Yixuan couldn't help him anymore, he could only place his last hope on Xiao Yunzhe.

Holding the items, she rushed to the park; upon arrival, she immediately saw Xiao Yunzhe's car parked there with its hazard lights flashing.

Because she had called Zhao Yixuan earlier, she had lost some time.

He hurriedly got into the passenger seat, looked back, and saw that Xiao Yunzhe's condition seemed indeed not good.

"Yun Zhe, are you okay? What's wrong? Why do you look so pale?"

Just as Geng Jing Shu reached out to touch Xiao Yunzhe's face, he slapped her hand away.

Geng Jing Shu was stunned at that moment, because she could now be completely certain that everything she had done before had been fully exposed.

"How does it feel to betray me? Feels pretty good, huh?"

"Betray? What are you talking about? How have I betrayed you?"

"Enough; don't think I don't know what you've done, and you might not even realize it myself—I actually have surveillance cameras installed in my room, and everything you've done in there has been recorded by me."
