The Villain’s Redemption Chapter 268

Chapter 268 - Part of the Family

Chapter 268: Part of the Family.

“You?” Liu Cheng’er frowned. She wasn’t aware that Mo Li is actually a computer expert. She knew that Mo Li is extremely smart, but hacking and programs are not one of his expertise. “You know how to track it?” she asked.

However, Mo Li only responded with a snort. “Get the police and the other executives in here.” Mo Li said and in response, Bella nodded and went outside the call the police personnel that Liu Cheng’er herself called.

“Mo Li, I am sure that Liu Cheng’er is not someone like that,” Mo Li’s mother said. “Are you really going to embarrass her like this?” Even if Mo Li could prove that it wasn’t Liu Cheng’er the other executives would already know that Mo Li doesn’t trust his VP. This might make them lose their trust in their VP, too. “Mo Li, I know that Cheng’er was innocent, but you are really going overboard. Do you really have to try to ruin her reputation?”

“She is right, Mo Li,” his grandmother chimed in. “You already broke the engagement that we set for you. Now you wanted to embarrass her in front of this many people? I suggest we take this investigation in private! There is no need to embarrass anyone here! Moreover, that person who could have stolen the files can be your fiance! If this gets out, people will surely judge your poor choices! She is already a divorced woman and now she is stealing secrets to help her own family!”

“If I know, the person who informed you it was my wife was none other than Liu Cheng’er, yes?” Mo Li only smiled and looked at everyone who is taking their seats. “IT team, why don’t you track the files that were stolen?” Mo Li said the moment everyone got seated. Then he smiled at Liu Cheng’er. “We will know what really happened soon.”

“Mo Li, I would never do this to you. Both of us know how much I like you. I would never do something that could ruin you!” However, she would do everything to ruin Bella. In Liu Cheng’er’s mind, these two were very different. In the first place, she was already Mo Li’s fiance before they were even born. She had the right to remove this woman from Mo Li’s life.

Slowly she lifted her gaze and turned towards Bella who staring at everyone as she smiled. This made Liu Cheng’er fumed in anger. However, she controlled herself. Relax, she thought inwardly. One of the IT personnel was already bribed, so he would create something that would make it look like it was Bella who stole the information.

Meaning, Liu Cheng’er’s victory is already guaranteed.

She lowered her head and hid the small smile on her face. Once Mo Li knew that it was actually Bella who stole the information, she was certain that he would kick this woman out of his life. Liu Cheng’er knew how important this company was to Mo Li.

“President, we found who took the files and copied it in a flash drive. This was from your secretary’s computer and it was done just this morning.” Someone from IT said.

With this everyone stared at Bella, who was still calmly sitting next to Mo Li.

“So, you are saying that the person who stole the information was my wife?” Mo Li looked at the personnel.

“I — I am not saying that. All I’m saying is that… the files were copied from her computer.”

“I see.” Mo Li nodded, but instead of looking at Bella, he turned his attention to Liu Cheng’er. “Is there something you want to confess?”

“Mo Li!” His mother stood from her seat. “How could you still insist that it was Liu Cheng’er? Mo Li! I didn’t raise you like this! It was clear that the files were copied from your wife’s computer! How dare you treat Cheng’er like this?” Zhang Bingbing couldn’t take it anymore. She marched towards Bella and attempted to drag her out of the room.

“If you touch a single strand of her hair, I will personally drag you to prison.” Mo Li’s words made her mother stop moving. 1

Eyes wide, Zhang Bingbing glared at Mo Li, disbelief apparent in her eyes. “You — you would choose this woman over me?”

“Yes.” Mo Li answered without batting an eyelid. “Now take a seat before I do something you won’t like.”

“Preposterous,” Mo Li’s father spoke lowly, but it was enough for Mo Li to hear. He lifted his head and stared at his son. “You have gone blind. Clearly, your wife stole the files, and yet you are acting like it was Liu Cheng’er’s fault. And now, you are actually threatening your mother in front of this many people?” Mo Li’s father was actually trying to keep his calm because of the executives and police officer. Losing his temper in a place like this wouldn’t do him any good. “Are you still the Mo Li that I know?”

However, Mo Li remained unfazed. Instead of answering his father, he looked at Liu Cheng’er. “It seems that Miss Liu actually wanted to turn the Mo Family apart.” He sneered. “Since you don’t want to talk about it, let me show you something.” Mo Li signaled Bella, and she immediately handed him his laptop.

“This is already connected to the screen so you will see everything that I do. The IT personnel would surely understand this process and would know that I am not doing or planting anything. I am mere tracking that file.” Mo Li said as his fingers started flying on the keyboard. For a few seconds, everyone held their breath as Mo Li continued typing a series of codes.

“Since when did he learn how to do that?” Mo Li’s father asked Liu Cheng’er. Mo Li took business management and had no background in coding.

“I — I don’t know.” Liu Cheng’er bit her lower lip as she balled both of her hands into fists. She could feel something looming towards her and her gut is telling her to run to avoid this matter. But running would be too late by now. She stared at the screen as sweat started trickling from her forehead.

“It is said that the hacking happened at seven thirty-eight in the morning.” Mo Li said. “You can, of course, see everything here. The time-stamped and the computer that was used to copy the files.” He looked at Liu Cheng’er. “We arrived here, a few minutes after eight. You can of course check the time that I and my wife clocked in.” He then opened some footage of them entering the building at seven fifty-nine in the morning.

This immediately made everyone gasped in surprise. Most of them didn’t dare say their opinion against this matter. After all, it was obvious that this has something to do with the Mo Family’s internal conflict. However, they already believed that it was indeed Bella who stole the information. Moreover, Liu Cheng’er was pretty vague earlier, but she seemed to confirm that it was indeed Bella’s work. Then there was also the IT personnel who said that the files were copied in Bella’s computer.

They haven’t really considered the fact that Bella was framed. After all, they weren’t really computer experts. Since the IT team said it was Bella, then it should be her!

However, Mo Li was actually different! He actually knew how to trace everything and even showed them his skills when it comes to computer.

“This is the footage around the time the files were taken. Clearly, no one was using the computer.” Mo Li said as he removed his gaze from his screen and stared at Liu Cheng’er. “Someone who doesn’t know these things will easily believe that IT team. Sadly for you, I am not that someone.” He smiled. “Now, let’s do this again. Are you doing to tell me something? Or are you going to wait for me to trace everything back to you?”

“Mo Li! Don’t be too harsh! This doesn’t prove that Liu Cheng’er did it.” Again, his mother chimed in. However, this time, she said those words not to convince Mo Li but to herself. She looked at Liu Cheng’er’s flushed face and asked. “Cheng’er wouldn’t do something so sinister. She loved you and the whole Mo Family. There is no way that she did it!” Slowly, her eyes widened. “That’s right, I believe that Liu Cheng’er wouldn’t do something like this! Therefore someone must be trying to frame her! That’s right! Always knew that Cheng’er has the kindest heart. Someone is trying to frame her!”

“Mo Li, you should think things through. If we think about it. Liu Cheng’er helped you with the company. However, on the day that your wife started working a scandal as this happened. Isn’t it too coincidental? It actually looked like someone is trying to frame Liu Cheng’er to make her disappear from the company.” Just like his mother, his grandmother was also trying to convince herself that Liu Cheng’er was framed. After all, they have trusted Liu Cheng’er since she was a child.

They already considered her as part of the family.

There is no way she would do something to break their trust.

"Would you trust me?" his voice was almost a whisper. It made her frown.

Trust? How could she trust someone she doesn't know? She didn't know if she had it in her heart to trust another person aside from herself. "Who are you?" she asked.

"I can't tell you."

She bit her lower lip. She could feel his breathing against her cheek, and it made her want to feel more of him, more of this madness. But was it even worth the risk? "Do you know me?" She couldn't help but wonder.

"You are mine, and I am yours. That's the only thing that you needed to know."
