Strictly speaking, Su Jing did this mostly for herself. However, since Lin Yi asked, she might as well gain Lin Yi’s favor.

“Because I really admire your talent. I can’t bear to see your work be desecrated.” Su Jing smiled sweetly and complimented Lin Yi. 

Lin Yi’s character was quite good in the original book. If Su Jing could get on good terms with Lin Yi, she would be one step closer to achieving a happy ending.

Lin Yi didn’t expect Su Jing, who was always proud and unyielding, to say that she admired her talent. This wasn’t like Su Jing at all.

Lin Yi was also a straightforward person. She said, “You don’t believe this yourself, do you? Although I don’t know if you are up to something, I will tell President Qin about this and ask him to give the two of you a fair verdict.”

After speaking, Lin Yi left Su Jing’s office. Su Jing ignored the petrified Fang Ke and left for the pantry.

Lin Yi went to Qin Feng’s office and told him everything that had happened. She asked him to help her investigate the matter.

Qin Feng felt that the matter wasn’t simple and thought it had something to do with Su Jing. He immediately asked his assistant, He Qi, to investigate the matter.

Just as they were about to leave work, Su Jing and Fang Ke were called to Qin Feng’s office.

Lin Yi and Qin Feng were inside.

“I’ll give you both a chance. If you confess your wrongdoing, I can give you a chance to stay in the company.”

Qin Feng placed his hands on the table, and his gaze was as sharp as an eagle’s.

Fang Ke’s body trembled as she looked around. She wondered if she should tell them the truth, but she was afraid that Qin Feng was trying to trick them.

“I’ve already told Lin Yi what I need to tell her. I’m sure she has told you as well. Other than that, I have nothing else to say.” Su Jing expressed her position in a direct and straightforward manner.

“What about you?” Qin Feng’s gaze drifted over to Fang Ke.

Fang Ke was so terrified that she trembled again. There was a moment of silence. After a minute, Fang Ke began to put on a big show.

It didn’t matter. The surveillance camera beside Lin Yi’s office was already broken. They couldn’t find any evidence to prove that it was Fang Ke anyway!

“Boss, why would I steal the design drafts?”

Fang Ke tears fell one after another as if she had been wronged.

“I was framed!”

Fang Ke wiped her tears away. Her expression was pitiful.

Su Jing quietly watched her act. It was a waste of her talent not to become an actress.

Qin Feng hated it when people pretended to be pitiful and lied before him. He scolded, “Shut up! You still don’t want to admit it, do you?”

Fang Ke was shocked by his voice. Her tears turned into sobs.

Qin Feng pressed the remote control, and a screen appeared on the wall. Qin Feng pressed the play button again.

The screen started to show a video of Lin Yi’s office.

The video clearly showed Fang Ke sneaking into Lin Yi’s office, taking photos of Lin Yi’s manuscript, and then putting everything back in place.

“The surveillance camera outside my office is broken, but I have a habit of installing cameras in my office.” Lin Yi crossed her legs and said calmly.

Her design drafts had been stolen by someone else before, so she retained this habit. However, she didn’t expect it to come in handy.

Faced with solid evidence, there was no room for argument.

Fang Ke knelt in front of Lin Yi and begged, “Sister Lin Yi, I was forced by someone. Trust me. I didn’t mean to steal your design.”

“You changed your script again? Tsk, there are too many inconsistencies in your story, aren’t there?” Su Jing did not mind the drama and was mocked.

Fang Ke turned around and glared at Su Jing.

“Su Jing, I don’t think you’re any better. Fang Ke’s words may not be a lie. I suspect that both of you are in on this.”

Qin Feng’s eyes were filled with excitement. He finally had something on Su Jing.

Su Jing looked speechless, “The evidence is so obvious, yet you still want to slander me? I strongly suspect that you are trying to take revenge.”

“Ha, one of you is pretending to be a good person, while the other is pretending to be bad. Isn’t your goal to gain Lin Yi’s trust? You are definitely involved in this matter.”

Qin Feng was certain that Su Jing had other intentions because that was more like Su Jing’s style.

Lin Yi pondered when she heard what Qin Feng said. Indeed, this explanation seemed to make more sense..
