Chai Yanyu was also investigating who leaked the video. Although he had already heard about Wei Yumeng's current situation, this was not the consequence he wanted to see. Even if he truly wanted to win Wei Yumeng over, he wouldn't resort to such means. Moreover, after finally taking a step closer to Wei Yumeng, he didn't want any problems to arise at this time.
"How is the investigation going?" Chai Yanyu looked at his assistant.
"Mr. Chai, we have found that the video was submitted through an unverified account. We currently cannot investigate through the account owner. However, we have found the IP address of the account's last login. I believe we will soon be able to find the location where that person last logged in."
Chai Yanyu nodded. Although he couldn't be sure if this last login location would lead them to the perpetrator, it was still a method.
"By the way, have the media been contacted?"
"We have managed to suppress the news and the video. However, the impact of the news is probably irreparable," the assistant said, glancing cautiously at Chai Yanyu. Normally, in such a situation, Chai Yanyu would hold him accountable.
But when he looked up at Chai Yanyu, he only saw worry on his face, with no intention of dealing with him.
"Sister, how are you doing now?"
Chai Yanyu subconsciously checked his phone. Wei Yumeng still hadn't called him back today. He sighed deeply. Although he could understand that Wei Yumeng had been in a terrible state these past few days and thus didn't want to answer the phone, he genuinely wanted to help her. As long as Wei Yumeng asked, he could use all his power to resolve the matter.
Chai Yanyu looked out the window with concern, wishing only to know if Wei Yumeng was alright. He reached out and touched the glass of the floor-to-ceiling window. His reflection appeared on the glass, but in his eyes, he seemed to see Wei Yumeng's shadow. Perhaps it was because of the filming period that he had grown accustomed to always being by Wei Yumeng's side. This sudden separation had made him restless, and he would rush to Wei Yumeng's side at the slightest opportunity.
Just then, Chai Yanyu's phone rang. However, it rang for a long time, and he showed no inclination to check it, as it wasn't Wei Yumeng's call, and he didn't want to bother with anything else.
But Wei Yumeng hadn't contacted him for so long.
"Mr. Chai, this call... this call is from Miss Wei," the assistant said, looking at the caller ID with some excitement.
Chai Yanyu was stunned and immediately rushed over to snatch the phone. "Sister?"
Indeed, Wei Yumeng's voice came from the other end of the line: "A Yu, do you have time? I want to talk to you."
"Of course I have time. Sister, I've been so worried." Chai Yanyu's voice was even a little excited.
But Wei Yumeng's voice remained calm: "Then do you have time this afternoon? Let's meet at the coffee shop."
"Okay," Chai Yanyu agreed readily.
After hanging up the phone, Chai Yanyu couldn't help but sigh with relief. He was truly worried that Wei Yumeng would never contact him or see him again. He checked the time; there were still more than two hours until their scheduled meeting, but he couldn't wait any longer.
"I'm leaving now. If there are any work matters, please postpone them for me," Chai Yanyu said and left. His assistant watched his retreating back, feeling that his boss seemed different from usual.
Wei Yumeng was already on her way to the coffee shop. She had thought carefully. Actually, not many people knew about that incident. Among them, she and Chai Yanyu knew, and Zhan Mohan, who had appeared at the time, also knew. If she considered it more meticulously, Zhi Qing might also know. However, Fang Xun would never do such a thing, and Zhan Mohan even less so. And since it wasn't her, the most suspicious person left was Chai Yanyu.
As Wei Yumeng thought of this, Chai Yanyu's smiling face when he saw her would appear in her mind. She did like that side of Chai Yanyu, but she couldn't ignore that he was the CEO of Chai Corporation and that she had already witnessed his decisive ruthlessness. Wei Yumeng clutched the voice recorder in her hand. Perhaps there was only one chance. She needed to know if this matter had anything to do with Chai Yanyu.
When she reached the entrance of the coffee shop, she hesitated. Through the glass display window, she saw Chai Yanyu already seated there. Several female customers in the coffee shop couldn't help but try to strike up a conversation with such a handsome man, but Chai Yanyu remained aloof, leaving them disappointed. However, when he suddenly saw Wei Yumeng, his face lit up with a brilliant smile.
"Sister, over here!" Through Chai Yanyu's lips, Wei Yumeng could imagine what he was saying. Wei Yumeng then walked into the coffee shop and headed towards Chai Yanyu.
"Sister, you've finally agreed to see me." Chai Yanyu looked at Wei Yumeng with some guilt. "I'm sorry, Sister, I've caused you trouble."
Wei Yumeng shook her head. "This wasn't entirely your fault." Chai Yanyu felt a pang of heartache. Wei Yumeng looked extremely unwell today, and her complexion wasn't good.
"A Yu, can you tell me if anyone else knew about the matter of you taking me to that hotel that day?"
Chai Yanyu thought for a moment and finally shook his head. "Even the crew only knew that I took you to a hotel. I never told them which hotel it was."
"So, does that mean only we knew?" Wei Yumeng looked directly at Chai Yanyu, her eyes revealing seriousness and suspicion.
Only then did Chai Yanyu understand the reason for Wei Yumeng meeting him today. According to Wei Yumeng's question, only he, Wei Yumeng, and Zhan Mohan knew about that hotel. It was clear that Wei Yumeng was now suspecting him.
"Sister, are you suspecting me?" Chai Yanyu looked at Wei Yumeng incredulously.
Wei Yumeng explained, "No, I just want to confirm with you. I can't let this continue, so I want to find a solution." Although Wei Yumeng said this, Chai Yanyu felt immense sadness. He had been thinking about Wei Yumeng constantly these days, fearing she might be kicked out of the Zhan family or be unable to cope. He had also used his influence to get all the news and videos taken down and was still working to find the mastermind. Yet, despite all his efforts, Wei Yumeng's suspect was him.
