When she woke up again, Mai Xiaoshu felt a slight headache. She held her forehead and looked around, and found herself lying on her bed at home. The scene of being knocked unconscious by Jiang Xingye in her mind seemed like a distant dream.
If Jiang Xingye really meant bad things to her, then why would she be at home now?
"Am I dreaming?" Mai Xiaoshu sat up with difficulty. Just as she was about to walk out of the room, Song Feifei rushed in and rushed to her arms and hugged her tightly: "Xiaoshu, you finally woke up. I was scared to death!"
"I just took ? You're exaggerating!"
"What? You didn't come home the whole night last night. I called you but you didn't answer. I was so anxious that I ran to the lab to look for you, but they all said you didn't go to the lab. Later, An Chengye pulled me into his office and told me that you were kidnapped. I asked him who the kidnapper was, but he refused to tell me. He also stopped me from calling the police or spreading the news. He promised me that he would bring you back safely, and I agreed not to call the police for the time being. Fortunately, he really carried you back at midnight."
Mai Xiaoshu said in disbelief: "It's true that Jiang Xingye knocked me out!"
"Well, you're fine now. But...something happened to An Chengye. I wonder if it has anything to do with your kidnapping case..." Song Feifei said hesitantly.
Mai Xiaoshu was shocked, and holding her hand, he asked excitedly, "What happened to An Chengye?"
"An Chengye held a press conference in the early morning and admitted that he had plagiarized Jim's program. After the press conference, he came back without telling you, so I suspect there is some connection between these two things. Anyway, I don't believe that An Chengye is a plagiarist!"
"He admitted to plagiarism? How could that be?"
Mai Xiaoshu jumped out of bed in a hurry. She remembered Jiang Xingye's words "I'm sorry" before she fainted. Her heart ached like a knife. It turned out that he really put drugs in the water cup. He did this not to stop her from telling the truth, but to threaten An Chengye and make him admit to plagiarism in front of the world! Let the fabricated scandal nail An Chengye to the pillar of shame in history forever!
When the whole world sees the video of An Chengye admitting to plagiarism, he will be unable to defend himself even if he finds evidence to make up for his mistake in the future!
She couldn't believe that the usually gentle Jiang Xingye would become like this, and she was even more unwilling to admit that An Chengye pushed himself into the abyss for her!
Tears fell on the bed sheets, turning into flower-like flowers, and she knelt down weakly.
"Xiao Shu, don't get excited. These are just my random guesses. Don't take the responsibility on yourself." Song Feifei kept comforting him.
"No, I'm going to find him and tell everyone that everything was planned by Jiang Xingye."
There was a little snow in the rain outside, and it seemed that it was going to snow again. Mai Xiaoshu picked up a coat and left the house without even an umbrella. The winter rain soaked her clothes, but she didn't care and walked faster and faster.
When I appeared in the laboratory again, everything here had lost its former vitality. Everyone seemed to have suffered a heavy blow and sat slumped in front of the computer.
The first person to see Mai Xiaoshu was Qian Lulu. She exclaimed in surprise, "Why are you here? If you're here to make fun of me, forget it!"
Then countless cold eyes shot towards her, making people shudder, but she also had some understanding. In everyone's mind, she was a traitor and a thief. Such a person came to the door at the most critical moment of the company, so of course they would not treat her with a good face.
"Is An Chengye here?" she asked, mustering up the courage.
Suddenly, a soft voice came from above my head: "Mai Xiaoshu."
She looked up when she heard the voice, and saw An Chengye, wearing a thin coat on the stairs, smiling at her with a gentle expression, as if silently telling her: I'm fine.
As soon as An Chengye finished speaking, everyone's faces turned pale, and they were all trying to guess the meaning of An Chengye's smile. Shouldn't he treat traitors coldly?
Mai Xiaoshu turned around and ran up the stairs. The two of them got closer, as if they had finally been able to look at each other through the long river of time. She asked softly, "Fei Fei told me everything. You admitted to plagiarism because of me, right? Why are you so stupid? You should have called the police and trusted them!"
"I haven't had a rest for a long time. Now I have a long vacation as I wished. It's pretty good." He smiled.
"Idiot, big idiot!" She burst into tears. The more An Chengye pretended to be indifferent, the harder it was for her to forgive herself.
"I'm glad you're okay. Besides, I would never risk your life under such circumstances." He rubbed her head lovingly, and his expression suddenly became serious. "Since he can't wait to get the company, just give it to him."
"I will seek justice for you! I have a recording!" Mai Xiaoshu suddenly raised his head and said to An Chengye behind him.
Jiang Xingye walked out of the office at some point and stood not far away, looking at them with a half-smile on his face.
Hearing her words, his face suddenly turned a little ugly. However, when she angrily walked past An Chengye and came to him and played the recording in her mobile phone, Jiang Xingye's face regained calmness again.
He said, "Really? What can this audio prove?"
"Prove that you did all this." Mai Xiaoshu said sternly.
"Really? Did you hear me admit it in person? You have been speculating all along, right?" Jiang Xingye smiled innocently.
"You..." Mai Xiaoshu was furious and was about to step forward to argue with him, but An Chengye grabbed his arm.
An Chengye shook his head at her: "Xiao Shu, he is right. This recording is useless. He did not admit anything in person."
Hearing this, Mai Xiaoshu felt as if she had been hit hard. Her eyes became red again, this time because of self-blame.
She is so useless! Not only can she not help, but she is always a burden to him.
Jiang Xingye looked at her coldly, his eyes fierce and ruthless: "You have one last chance to choose, choose me or him?"
Faced with such a him, Mai Xiaoshu felt even more sad. She couldn't understand why he had to go to such great lengths to fight for things when he clearly had everything.
"I will always stand by An Chengye and support him from now on."
Her words seemed to have hit Jiang Xingye's nerves. He narrowed his eyes and suddenly said to the people downstairs: "Due to the adverse effects of plagiarism, from now on, An Chengye will be removed from the board of directors, and no one is allowed to negotiate with him about the company's affairs. Also...if anyone wants to follow this plagiarist and leave, please pack up and leave immediately."
There was an uproar below, and everyone could hear the merciless sarcasm in the words.
Although the ending was expected by everyone, everyone originally thought that it would be handled in a low-key manner. Unexpectedly, in the end it was announced in public that An Chengye was kicked out of the company.
"Don't make a fuss, everyone. Shiku Technology has fallen into a slump because of my scandal. It's all my fault. I have to leave today. I hope you can take this opportunity to prove to the world that the achievements of Shiku Technology are not the result of my efforts alone!" An Chengye was still so calm. Halfway through his speech, he looked at Jiang Xingye meaningfully, then looked at all the employees, and made a final farewell: "The end of the world is not far away, see you again. Also, I believe that the clear will be clear, and the turbid will be turbid."
Everyone held their breath in tacit understanding, and after hearing his last words, their expressions became complicated.
Jiang Xingye seemed to be amused by the phrase "the clear ones are clear, the turbid ones are turbid". He said in a voice that only An Chengye and Mai Xiaoshu could hear: "This is the difference between us. You were abandoned by your biological parents, but you were lucky to meet my father. Even though he had me as his biological son, he still gave you all his love. Under his training, you have come to where you are today and have gained the attention of the whole world. Looking back, isn't it because you are lucky? You got my father's special treatment with your talent, and you got everything easily with your talent. But I can only rely on myself, I only believe in myself, and I have to do everything I can to get what I want. I say this to remind you that with me here, you won't be so lucky in the future. The clear ones are clear? Humph, that's just to fool three-year-olds!"
Faced with provocation, An Chengye said nothing.
"Are you done? Let's go!" After saying this, he pulled Mai Xiaoshu and left without looking back.
