“Technical department?” Shi Xiao’s right eyelid twitched rapidly as a bad feeling welled up in his heart. “What can possibly happen to the technical department?”

Lin Xi’s eyes were red, but she finally calmed down and said meekly, “This morning, the technical staff realized that the data had been stolen when they went to work. Many user information had been leaked, and many user-bound phone numbers had been stolen. Now, the netizens are denouncing our company.”

Shi Xiao narrowed his eyes. If they had discovered it in the morning, it was impossible for her to tell him only now. Moreover, the firewall of the technical department was top-notch, so it was impossible for anyone to break through it immediately, unless there was a spy.

Lin Xi seemed to know what he was thinking and said with some hesitation, “The technical department originally wanted to hide this matter because this matter is related to Yuan Shu, but Miss Yuan can’t be contacted now.”

He suddenly remembered that someone from the technical department lookrf for Yuan Shu yesterday. He walked to the sofa and sat down before lowering his head and thinking about something.

“Shi Xiao, the company’s website has almost been registered by tens of millions of people by now, and they were all verified with their real names. If something happens to the website, the netizens will definitely sue us,” Lin Xi said anxiously. “Yuan Shu seemed to have discussed something with someone from the technical department yesterday. Look.”

She took out another document, which happened to be the website’s live publicity plan. “There’s information about a few cooperative companies in here. Yuan Shu gave me so many documents when she handed them over to me yesterday, and they haven’t been sorted out yet.”

“After I went home yesterday, I spent the entire night reading documents, but I’ve never heard of these companies. I asked my colleagues to help me check today. As expected, these companies are all shell companies. I can’t find any information about them at all.”

When Lin Xi saw that Shi Xiao didn’t say anything, Lin Xi already knew what was going on. It seemed like he also had his suspicions. Even though she didn’t know why Yuan Shu didn’t come to work today, it seemed like Shi Xiao already suspected her. As long as there was a seed of suspicion, the gap between the two would only grow larger and larger.

She sat beside Shi Xiao and comforted him softly, “I believe in Miss Yuan too, but Miss Yuan is in charge of all this information. Even her assistant doesn’t know about it. She doesn’t have much interaction with the other colleagues in the company. Now that she’s gone, I’m a little worried. Perhaps Miss Yuan was unhappy that you divorced her and she, she…”

She had already stretched out a hand to grab Shi Xiao’s large hand, but Shi Xiao avoided it and asked coldly, “What does she know?”

His actions and cold expression shocked Lin Xi. She originally thought that Shi Xiao was vulnerable at this time and that he would definitely need her comfort just like when he was in Africa, but it was as if some things changed after he returned to the country.

Lin Xi didn’t show her unhappiness on her face. Instead, she continued to say worriedly, “I’m worried that Miss Yuan was used by others. She hasn’t come to the company yet. What if something bad happens?”

She thought that Shi Xiao would definitely be disappointed in Yuan Shu after she slandered Yuan Shu, but when he heard that something might have happened to Yuan Shu, Shi Xiao immediately stood up and strode out of the office.

Zhao Cheng rushed over. “President Shi, there’s bad news…”

Shi Xiao had asked him to look for Yuan Shu near her house just now, but Zhao Cheng couldn’t find her. Even the surveillance cameras in the security room didn’t show Yuan Shu returning yesterday.

When she saw Zhao Cheng’s appearance, Lin Xi’s eyes lit up. It seemed like something really did happen to Yuan Shu, as if even the heavens were helping her. She hurriedly pretended to be concerned and asked, “Did something happen to Miss Yuan?”

“Do you really want something to happen to her?” Shi Xiao glanced at her from the corner of his eye, his body emitting a cold aura.

This was the first time Lin Xi saw him like this. Even though her mental fortitude was strong, she still took a step back in fear before hurriedly shaking her head, unable to say a single word.

Seeing her panicked look, Shi Xiao was a little annoyed. He didn’t know what to say, so he could only give Zhao Cheng a look and let him follow him into the office.

When Zhao Cheng saw that Lin Xi was about to cry, he felt pity for her and hurriedly comforted her by saying, “President Shi isn’t in a good mood. It’s not that he’s purposely targeting you, you… sigh, I’ll go in first.”

He knew that Shi Xiao had always treated Yuan Shu differently. Now that something had happened to Yuan Shu, he couldn’t hide it anymore.

After he went to the office and told Shi Xiao about the investigation, he thought that Shi Xiao would fly into a rage, but Shi Xiao remained silent..
