Married by Accident: The Rich CEO's Deeply Rooted Pampering Tactics

Chapter 199 Is she a corporate spy?

Upon hearing this, Lin Mei finally spoke up, "Although there are no surveillance cameras in my office, there are outside. Yesterday, after Qiao Luo handed me the USB drive, I didn't have time to look at it before I received a work call and went out. I didn't return to my office until this morning."

After explaining, Lin Mei immediately played the surveillance video she had copied for the three executives. The content of the video was indeed the same as what she had said. Qiao Luo had just left yesterday, and Lin Mei had also gone out shortly after. Just as she had said, she did not return until this morning.

More importantly, no one entered that office during this period.

"But even so, it doesn't prove that no one else has touched it. For example, Lin Bian, you can take the USB drive with you."

Qiao Luo seized the opportunity to ask a question.

Since that Mr. Zhang has already pointed the finger at Lin Mei for her, why doesn't she go with the flow?

Lin Mei said, "Qiao Luo, why would I need a USB drive when I go out on business? Besides, even if I took it with me, what would that prove? Did I deliberately frame you for that virus USB drive?"

Qiao Luo: "I didn't say that."

"You didn't say it that way, but that's what you implied."

Qiao Luo remained noncommittal.

Lin Mei was furious. "President Hu, President Zhang, President Yang, you all saw it, didn't you? This is her attitude of admitting her mistake."

Before she could finish speaking, Qiao Luo retorted.

"Editor Lin, I don't think I've admitted my mistake yet, have I?"

Lin Mei: "..."

"It's already a done deal, what choice do you have?"

Lin Mei was clearly eager to convict her.

Qiao Luo felt hopeful, because she could only find a weakness when her opponent was in a hurry.

So, she calmly said,

"Could I take a look at that USB drive?"

The words were addressed to the three senior executives.

The three executives exchanged glances, and one of them said to Lin Mei,

"give her."

Lin Mei reluctantly handed over the USB drive.

Qiao Luo held it in her hand and examined it carefully for a while. From the outside, it was indeed exactly the same as the one she had given to Lin Mei before. However, it was hard to say what was inside.

So she said, "Could we ask someone who knows about this to come over?"

After all, she was an amateur in this area and couldn't see anything at all.

Hearing her request, President Hu said, "Do you think we haven't had anyone look into it? Before you came, professionals examined it and said that it contained a computer virus that only corporate spies would use to steal trade secrets. Qiao Luo, tell me honestly, which magazine sent you?"

President Hu immediately began the interrogation process.

This doesn't even give her a chance to prove herself.

However, Qiao Luo disagreed with President Zhang's statement. She said, "In that case, President Zhang, why don't you call the police?"

After all, corporate espionage can be a big deal or a small deal. If it could really cause huge economic losses to the company, it can't be dealt with in a few words, so how could it be handled so hastily?

Mr. Hu probably didn't expect her to say that, and frowned. "It's not because you've worked at the magazine for two years, and because you haven't caused too much damage to the company, that we've decided to give you a chance. As long as you confess who instructed you behind it, we can assure you that we will definitely reduce your punishment."

What Mr. Hu said made perfect sense, but Qiao Luo found it utterly absurd.

When did a private company become qualified to convict someone? What is the point of having police then?
