The night was restless for Qiu Zhun, and Wen Xueshan’s state was no better.
He heard Wen Xueshan getting up multiple times from the room next door. Finally, he walked out of his room, worried, only to find Wen Xueshan asleep again.
However, Qiu Zhun still went to check on Wen Xueshan’s room.
Wen Xueshan slept uneasily, as if having a nightmare, murmuring in her sleep.
“I won’t lose to you… no… you won’t succeed either…”
Qiu Zhun didn’t understand the meaning of these words, but he felt they were related to what had happened today.
Just as he was about to leave, he noticed Wen Xueshan’s computer was on.
It seemed Wen Xueshan had forgotten to turn it off after using it, and the screen was still on the page she had been viewing.
However, when Qiu Zhun saw the content on the screen, his face filled with disbelief…
He glanced back at Wen Xueshan, his heart now consumed by anger.
Finally, he left the room without looking back…
Because Wen Xueshan had slept so restlessly, she woke up past noon the next day.
After a night of nightmares, the first thing she wanted upon waking was to see Qiu Zhun, so she could feel at ease, at ease that he hadn’t left.
She hurried to the living room. Thankfully, Qiu Zhun was still there, but his expression wasn’t good when he saw Wen Xueshan.
“Thank goodness, you’re still here…” Wen Xueshan said, rushing forward to hug Qiu Zhun.
However, when she saw the coldness in Qiu Zhun’s eyes, she stopped abruptly.
Had something happened? Why was Qiu Zhun treating her like this?
“Ah Zhun, what’s wrong?” Wen Xueshan’s heart pounded. She felt a terrible premonition that something was about to happen.
Qiu Zhun was also conflicted. He didn’t know how to speak to Wen Xueshan.
Yesterday, he had chosen to believe Wen Xueshan, to believe that none of it had anything to do with her, and had not even considered the possibility that Wen Xueshan might have done it.
But she had just happened to see it. He had seen the emails sent to the media on Wen Xueshan’s computer, containing clear photos from the scene and the content she intended to leak.
So Wen Xueshan had done it, but what was her motive?
Was it revenge against Wei Yumeng? Or was it to punish himself?
“Ah Zhun, what is it? Don’t scare me, don’t just stay silent.” Wen Xueshan felt increasingly panicked.
Qiu Zhun finally sighed and turned Wen Xueshan’s laptop towards her. “You see for yourself.”
Wen Xueshan looked over, confused, then her expression changed to shock and disbelief. “No, I didn’t do this, I really didn’t!”
Someone… it must have been that person who used some method to put this on her computer.
He just wanted her to lose the bet and become his woman.
“Ah Zhun, believe me, I really don’t know what’s going on. I’m already with you, I have no reason to do this anymore!” Wen Xueshan was close to tears. How could she make Qiu Zhun believe her?
But looking at Wen Xueshan, Qiu Zhun was still conflicted. Wen Xueshan didn’t look like she was lying, but the Wen Xueshan of the past had indeed resorted to various methods to do many things. And the evidence before him was enough to prove Wen Xueshan’s actions.
“I… I think I need some time to calm down and think properly…”
After saying that, Qiu Zhun simply picked up his jacket and walked out of the house.
“Ah Zhun!”
Watching Qiu Zhun’s retreating back, Wen Xueshan could no longer hold back her tears.
Why had things turned out this way? Yesterday, Qiu Zhun had still believed her.
Just then, her phone rang again. Wen Xueshan hesitated for a long time before answering.
“Miss Wen, how is it? Does your President Qiu still believe you? Do you still think you can definitely beat me?”
“You’re despicable! If you hadn’t tampered with my computer, how could he have seen that thing that shouldn’t have existed!” Wen Xueshan’s voice was filled with anger.
If that person were in front of her now, she would probably want to kill him directly.
Then no one would be causing so much trouble.
The other person’s tone was indifferent. “For your own happiness, what’s wrong with doing something despicable? Haven’t you always done things like this in the past? Besides, I’m doing this for your own good. He’s not the best choice for you.”
Wen Xueshan heard this and felt something inside her begin to crumble.
Was she really going to lose this time? Qiu Zhun would leave her, and she would have to follow the bet and be with a man she barely knew?
She no longer heard what the other person said, only feeling herself sinking into boundless darkness…
After Qiu Zhun left, he still felt that something was not right.
Calming down and thinking carefully, Wen Xueshan still had no reason to do such a thing. She wasn’t lying.
But if that were the case, then what was this whole thing about?
Just then, Qiu Zhun’s phone rang. He picked it up and saw it was Wei Yumeng.
Qiu Zhun rubbed his temples. He had almost forgotten that Wei Yumeng was also affected by this incident. She probably wasn’t doing any better right now.
Wei Yumeng hadn’t left her house all day because reporters were waiting outside, eager to interview her. They seemed determined to get to the bottom of things.
But this was not just her problem; she needed to discuss it with Qiu Zhun.
It took Qiu Zhun two more hours to reach the Zhan family’s residence, with Fang Xun having to go to great lengths to bring Qiu Zhun in.
“Miss Wei, Mr. Zhan.” Qiu Zhun greeted them, feeling somewhat guilty.
No matter how he looked at it, this matter was related to their household, but they hadn’t been significantly affected. Only a few reporters had found the company, but it wasn’t as severe as here.
Zhan Mohan sized up Qiu Zhun, his tone slightly cold. “Regarding this matter, do you know anything?”
Zhan Mohan was a keen judge of character, and Qiu Zhun’s unusual demeanor already indicated something was wrong.
Qiu Zhun panicked at the question. How should he explain? Zhan Mohan was so intelligent that ordinary lies wouldn’t work.
“I advise you to tell us what you know. You should be well aware that opposing the Zhan Corporation leads to no good end,” Zhan Mohan’s tone grew colder.
Wei Yumeng sensed the subtle tension and quickly tried to smooth things over. “Mohan, don’t be like that. He’s also a victim in this matter.”
Qiu Zhun took a deep breath. Since he couldn’t hide anything from Zhan Mohan, why not reveal everything he knew?
He could sense the problem with the situation, and Wei Yumeng and Zhan Mohan surely could too.
“Actually… the situation is like this…” Qiu Zhun then told them what had happened last night.
