On the other end, when Xue Ni saw that Shi Mo had taken the initiative to call her, she was very happy. When she picked up the call, she was about to address him as Brother Shi. However, before she could say anything, she heard Shi Mo’s question. With a confused expression, she asked, “What’s trending?”
It was only when Shi Mo asked Xue Ni to look for herself that she realized what had happened and hurriedly explained, “Brother Shi, I didn’t do this. How could I have posted something like this? At that time, I was just joking with Miss Fang. I didn’t really want the money.”
“Then what’s going on? Can you explain?” Shi Mo’s voice was cold and emotionless.
“This…” Xue Ni was at a loss for words.
She was not the one who had spread the news. She had only shown the IOU and the falsified video to one person, and that person had been Shi Yu. Could it be that Shi Yu had done it?
He had actually pushed himself forward in order to cause Fang Mo’er and Shi Mo to break up.
How could she explain this? Based on the current situation, Shi Mo would only think that she had done it. Could it really be that Shi Yu had done it?
She was a little nervous, so she could only stall for time. “Brother Shi, it really wasn’t me. Let me go and check out the situation.”
Shi Mo coldly warned Xue Ni, “Don’t play any tricks. I want to know the answer by tomorrow, or else you’ll know what the consequences are.”
These words were not a threat, but a warning. Xue Ni had already crossed his bottom line once, and this was the second time. If she could not give a perfect explanation, then he would not show her any mercy, even if it was Xue Ni.
After hanging up the phone, Shi Mo recalled what had happened today and felt that something was not right. Thus, he called Assistant Yu, but he found that he could not get through.
“Sister Shen said that Assistant Yu had been sent to handle some business affairs. Shi Yu sure knows how to slack off. He’s actually asked Assistant Yu to handle everything, leaving him completely free.”
Fang Mo’er told Shi Mo what Shen Yue had told her.
The more Shi Mo thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. Before he had left, he had instructed Assistant Yu to help Shi Yu learn how to manage the company. He had told him to let Shi Yu personally do the work. How could Assistant Yu handle it all now without reporting it to him?
However, he did not say this out loud.
Fang Mo’er thought for a moment and said, “I also feel that it wasn’t Xue Ni who exposed it. After all, I have the evidence to refute her. If she were to expose it again, it would surely be asking for trouble for herself. The matter between us has already been settled. However, it’s not certain if she gave it to anyone else.”
For some reason, the thought of Mu Chen suddenly appeared in her mind. Could it be that Mu Chen had done it? After all, Mu Chen had been able to cooperate with Bai Rong, just to keep a close eye on her. It would not be impossible that he had done such a thing.
Shi Mo and Fang Mo’er had the same thought.
He comforted Fang Mo’er, “Don’t worry, I’ll help you deal with this problem.”
“Hubby, you’re so nice.” Fang Mo’er smiled sweetly and kissed him. Then, she continued to check the messages on her phone.
After swiping a few times, she saw that Xue Ni had used her studio account to make a Weibo post to clarify things for Fang Mo’er.
It said that the contents of the previous Weibo post had been completely fake. Xue Ni and Fang Mo’er were good friends, and the previous post had been part of a prank. Fang Mo’er did not gamble and did not owe any money.
The impact of Shi Mo’s withdrawal on Xue Ni was huge. She knew very well that she could not offend Shi Mo, so she was extremely proactive.
Shi Mo decided to return to his company to take a look at what was happening there. Since Fang Mo’er had already returned to safety, there would not be any accidents here. Hence, after Fang Mo’er went to sleep, he told the director that he would be leaving. The director nodded and bowed, telling him to pay attention to his safety.
At this time, there were not many people left in the company. When Shi Mo returned, he was surprised to see that Shi Yu was still there.
Shi Yu had not expected that Shi Mo would suddenly come back. He did not even knock on the door before coming in. He was so shocked that he shivered and his phone almost fell to the ground.
“Brother, Brother, why did you suddenly come back?”
Shi Mo noticed Shi Yu’s reaction and frowned slightly. He asked, “Where’s Assistant Yu?”
Shi Yu looked very flustered and behaved like a student who had just been caught red-handed for daydreaming in class by his teacher. He replied in a whisper, “He… he… There were some business matters overseas that he went to help me handle.”
“Didn’t I say that I wanted you to personally handle the business? Then, why is it that can’t I get through to his phone?” Shi Mo asked as he stared at Shi Yu.
Shi Yu stuttered, “It’s probably because his cell phone is broken, or he’s on a plane and has no signal.”
Shi Mo did not manage to get anything useful out of Shi Yu, so he asked him to go home. Then, he called the intelligence team over and asked them to investigate what had happened today.
This intelligence team belonged to his own company and had nothing to do with the Shi family’s business. They were in charge of helping Shi Mo gather information or preventing information related to Shi Mo from being uploaded onto the Internet.
Not long after, the intelligence group sent the results of their investigation to him. When he saw the news, the expression on Shi Mo’s face turned colder and colder.
