Chapter 2046: Are You Going to Sue ?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Xiao Chu stopped in her tracks, furious.
“You…”
Gao Ming shrank back, tears streaming down his face.
“My son and wife are in his hands. CEO Li, I can’t kill them… I’m just an office worker. I’m willing to sacrifice myself for the company, but I can’t sacrifice my wife and child for the company… I feel wronged too. Why must it be …”
Li Tingshen was silent for a long ti. Xiao Chu carefully observed his expression, but it was calm and collected.
“If you remake it, how long will it take?”
Gao Ming shrunk his neck and thought for a while. “It will take at least two months to complete the project.”
Li Tingshen closed his eyes.
The wedding next month…
It was too late.
“Go find Qin Hao and see if he has a backup.”
Gao Ming hurriedly nodded. “Yes, yes, yes! He might have a backup. We have to find him quickly before he leaks our program…”
Xiao Chu shuddered and ran out imdiately.
*
Li Tingshen waited in the office for Xiao Chu’s reply the entire night.
Qin Hao had beco her only hope.
At school, Ye Qingqiu had already woken up a few tis. She couldn’t sleep well.
She thought that everything was a dream, but when she woke up and saw the two busy figures beside her, she felt suffocated.
It was almost a physiological reaction. Panic and helplessness surged in her heart, and then tears welled up in her eyes.
After sleeping and waking up a few tis, she cried silently a few tis.
At the thought of how Li Tingshen had spent so much money and effort over the past two years, everything had gone to waste…
She couldn’t imagine his expression at that mont.
Disappointed?
Regret?
Defeated?
Unable to recover?
Either way, she didn’t want to see it.
Just thinking about it made her heart ache.
Even if he blad her in the end and refused to marry her, she didn’t want to see his expression at that ti.
Ye Ze had been guarding her. Seeing her like this, his heart ached.
It was dawn when he went out to buy breakfast.
She gave two copies to Xu Wenxuan and the senior.
The remaining portion was placed in front of Ye Qingqiu.
The breakfast in the school cafeteria was nothing special.
Ye Ze bought buns and porridge.
Xu Wenxuan and his senior had been busy the entire night, so they didn’t stand on ceremony. They ate a bun each and their eyes didn’t leave the computer screen.
The entire activity room was filled with the sll of buns.
Ye Qingqiu woke up again. Ye Ze pushed the bag towards her and said, “Have so breakfast first.”
Ye Qingqiu’s vision blurred as she surveyed her surroundings. She looked at the bag in front of her and sniffed. Her expression suddenly changed and she retched. She covered her mouth and ran out of the activity room.
Ye Ze hurriedly followed.
Ye Qingqiu leaned against the wall outside the activity room and retched for a long ti.
In the end, she even cried, but she didn’t vomit much.
Ye Ze hurriedly passed the water to her. Ye Qingqiu took it and rinsed her mouth. She drank a few mouthfuls without a care before she suppressed the churning discomfort in her stomach.
Seeing that she had stabilized, Ye Ze picked up the clothes that she had dropped halfway and draped them over her. He whispered, “I’ll send you to the hospital.”
Ye Qingqiu shook her head and said, “I’m fine. I probably didn’t sleep well last night.”
She walked to the flowerbed and sat down. She adjusted Ye Ze’s suit and sniffed.
“I don’t want to sll the scent inside. Help ask, how’s the progress? Can you do it?”
Her face was pale and her lips were pale. She looked sickly and even her voice was weak.
Ye Ze glanced at her worriedly before turning to enter the house.
He asked Xu Wenxuan about the situation.
After a busy night, Xu Wenxuan couldn’t hide his exhaustion.
“It shouldn’t be a problem. We’ve been trying to connect and modify it. We can’t give a definite answer as to how long it will take. We can only say that it’s as soon as possible. Don’t make her anxious. Tell her that it can definitely be done and ask her to wait.”
Ye Ze nodded. “Thank you.”
She went out to report to Ye Qingqiu.
Although she had promised a certain amount, no answer ant anything to her if she didn’t successfully decode it.
She looked up at the bright sky and bit her lip worriedly.
“Brother Ye Ze, what do you think will happen if Li Tingshen finds out that the program is gone?”
Ye Ze was silent for a while. “Nothing will happen. Although he’s not old, he’s mature enough. Even if he encounters such a situation or fails in sothing, he won’t do anything irrational.”
Ye Qingqiu’s eyes were swollen and red.
“But he spent two years preparing this…”
Ye Ze couldn’t bear to see her expression. He lowered his eyes and said, “Everyone has to experience failure.”
“But I want his life to go smoothly. I don’t want him to experience failure, and it’s because of …”
The difference between self-bla and reality was too great. Ye Qingqiu’s heart ached when she thought about it.
She lowered her head and tears fell by her feet, one after another.
Ye Ze walked over and caressed the top of her head.
“Things can’t run away from the USB drive. It’s only a matter of ti before they crack the program. You really don’t have to worry so much. If you explain it to him clearly, he’ll definitely understand you. Besides, you’re doing this for his own good. Even if you didn’t find it, it didn’t leak. These programs were written by soone. It’s only a matter of ti before they write it again.”
Ye Qingqiu gradually cald down. Ye Ze’s analysis was comforting, but it seed to be the truth.
Ye Qingqiu looked up and asked, “What ti is it now?”
“Seven o’clock. What you have to do now is to get a good sleep before thinking of going to the company to explain to him.”
“But he’ll be anxious if he finds out. I can’t sleep…”
“There are still two hours before work starts.”
Ye Ze pressed her down. “You can sleep for two hours before going to the company.”
“I’ve booked a room for you at the hotel next door. Go and get so sleep.”
Ye Qingqiu was indeed feeling terrible now. Ye Ze’s attitude was obviously a little tough this ti, so she could only go and rest.

Yesterday, Lian Lili ca to visit Liang Xuer. Liang Xuer said that she wanted to bring her around the film studio tonight, so she stayed at a hotel with Liang Xuer.
Early the next morning, the two of them got up and planned to return to the city.
The two of them ordered breakfast and finished it in their room. They packed their things and went downstairs.
However, just as the two of them reached the door, Liang Xuer was pulled back by her arm.
Liang Xuer scread instinctively, “Xu’er, it’s .”
A familiar voice sounded anxiously. Liang Xuer ca back to her senses and saw that it was Qin?
“You… why…” She glanced at Lian Lili, who was still in shock, and quickly shook off Qin?
“Let go of !”
Qin? She didn’t let go. She looked around and took out her phone from her pocket.
“Xu’er, I really like you, but I don’t expect you to be with . This is the last thing I can do for you. I hope you get what you want and I wish you happiness.”
“Also, don’t go to the Li Corporation to look for Li Tingshen before noon. If you have anything to say to him, you can ask him out…”
Liang Xuer was confused. “What are you talking about? Why can’t I go to the Li Corporation… Why should I look for him…”
“Xu’er, I don’t have ti. I’ll leave first! You just have to rember my words!”
Qin? She had been paying attention to her surroundings as she spoke. In the end, she interrupted Liang Xuer hurriedly and left with her head lowered.
Lian Lili frowned as she watched from the side. “Who is that person? He’s acting like a fugitive. Why did he give you the phone? Is there anything important inside?”
At this mont, Lian Lili’s chauffeur walked over. After greeting him, Liang Xuer held Lian Lili’s arm and walked down the steps.
“Let’s go to the car and take a look.”
*
Ye Jianyun had finished her breakfast and was taking a walk when she suddenly received a call from Lian Lili.
Lian Lili’s sharp voice almost pierced through their eardrums.
“Ye Jianyun, you’ve really raised a good daughter! My Li family can’t afford to have such a ruthless woman. I think we should forget about this wedding! Cancel it! I, Lian Lili, will never agree to her marrying into my Li family!”
If this woman had criticized him, Ye Jianyun wouldn’t have minded. However, she had belittled his daughter without distinguishing right from wrong. Ye Jianyun’s anger imdiately rose!
“Lian Lili! What’s wrong with you in the morning? How did Qingqiu provoke you to have such a huge opinion of her?!”
Lian Lili snorted coldly. “How did she provoke ? She destroyed the Li Corporation! Tell , how did she provoke ?!”
“What about her? Is she at ho? If she is, let her reach the Li Corporation imdiately. We’ll settle scores today!”
After Lian Lili hung up, Liang Xuer said, “Auntie Lian, Qin? She told us not to go to the Li Corporation this morning. Let’s invite her outside.”
“Why can’t we go to the Li Corporation? Since when does he have the final say in the Li family’s territory?”
How could Lian Lili not be angry when the company was about to be gone?
At this mont, her chest was heaving. One could imagine how angry she was.
“I knew she was a scourge, but I had to have such an ill-fated relationship with her. I didn’t get anything from the Ye Corporation, but I got the Li Corporation involved. What a sin!”
“Go to the Li Corporation!” Lian Lili shouted at the driver. Liang Xuer frowned. Seeing Lian Lili’s angry and domineering look, she didn’t dare to speak and could only follow her to the Li Corporation.
*
After being shouted at, Ye Jianyun was hung up again. He was confused and inexplicably angry.
He wanted to call Qingqiu to ask her what was going on, but he looked at the ti. If she was sleeping, she shouldn’t be awake yet. He called Ye Ze instead.
But Ye Ze’s phone was switched off.
He frowned instantly.
She imdiately called Li Tingshen.
Li Tingshen’s call went through quickly and he sounded exhausted.
“Tingshen, did you quarrel with Qingqiu?”
Li Tingshen paused. “No.”
“Then why did your mother call just now to cancel the engagent and scold Qingqiu? Are you with Qingqiu?”
“No. Sothing happened at the company last night and I didn’t go ho. I’m still at the company. She was playing with her friends last night.”
“Oh, that’s good. I can’t contact her. Try . By the way, your mother seed to have said that sothing happened at the company. What happened?”
Li Tingshen pursed his lips. “I’ll contact Qingqiu now.”
“Oh, okay.”
Ye Jianyun was very passive and Li Tingshen didn’t say anything about the company. Sothing must have happened.
Recalling the hysteria on Lian Lili’s phone just now, he was worried and called Uncle Ye to the Li Corporation.
*
Ye Qingqiu didn’t have the mood to sleep. No matter how uncomfortable she felt, she couldn’t close her eyes completely. In the end, she only went to the bathroom to take a shower and put on clean clothes before leaving.
Ye Ze had been guarding the door. Seeing her like this, he took a deep breath helplessly.
“Are we going to the Li Corporation?”
Ye Qingqiu nodded.
“Do you want to have breakfast first?”
Ye Qingqiu shook her head again.
Ye Ze decided not to force her.
He brought her straight to the Li Corporation.
Then, she saw the tired Xiao Chu at the entrance of the company.
Ye Qingqiu thought that after such a huge incident, Li Tingshen would definitely be at the company even on weekends.
Everyone thought the sa. Common sense.
“Special Assistant Xiao, is Li Tingshen in the office?”
Xiao Chu looked up and stared at her for a while. Her expression was filled with unfamiliar anger and sarcasm.
“In the engineering departnt.”
Xiao Chu’s expression and short reply made Ye Qingqiu’s heart skip a beat.
Pursing her lips, she said with a dark expression, “I’ll go up to look for him.”
This ti, Ye Ze followed behind Ye Qingqiu and accompanied her upstairs.
The company was empty on weekends.
Ye Qingqiu instructed Ye Ze to wait for her at the door. She pushed open the door and the three people in the room looked at her.
Lian Lili and Liang Xuer stood in front of Li Tingshen and seed to be saying sothing to him.
Gao Ming’s desk was in a ss. The computer and monitor were separated and lying on the floor.
She looked at Li Tingshen imdiately, her bloodshot eyes filled with coldness and ruthlessness.
“Did you sleep well last night?” he asked in a hoarse voice.
Ye Qingqiu tightened her grip on the door. After two seconds of silence, she mustered her courage and said, “Li Tingshen, I didn’t go ho last night. I’ll co ho tonight…”
“Did you not go ho because you spent the night with Luoluo?”
Li Tingshen’s gaze was fixed on her, but every question seed to be avoiding sothing.
She bit her lip and shook her head. “No.”
Li Tingshen’s eyes darkened and he retracted his gaze. “If you didn’t cheat on with other n, that’s fine. I’m very busy now. Get out.”
Ye Qingqiu glanced at the ss in the office and opened her mouth. Just as she was about to say sothing, Lian Lili’s sharp voice sounded.
“No problem. Get out? Tingshen, did you not hear what we just told you or are you pretending to be deaf?”
“She deliberately lost the project you’ve been preparing for two years! Can’t this prove everything? The confidential data is gone and the computer is useless! Everything you’ve done has gone to waste. The Li Corporation is going to die because of her! It’s all because of this vicious woman…”
Ye Qingqiu’s eyebrows twitched and she turned to look at Liang Xuer, who was looking at her sarcastically.
“How did you know?”
Lian Lili gritted her teeth in anger and pointed at her with red eyes.
“Listen, listen! She has already admitted it, but you still don’t believe her?”
Ye Qingqiu took two steps closer to Liang Xuer, her gaze sharp.
“Let ask you, how do you know that the data has been cleared?!”
With a crisp sound, Ye Qingqiu’s face was slapped by Lian Lili.
Li Tingshen’s eyes widened and he stood up abruptly.
Ye Ze had already heard the commotion. He barged in and shielded Ye Qingqiu behind him.
Lian Lili was furious and could not be affected by anyone. She glared at Ye Qingqiu and said sharply,
“What right do you have to be so aggressive to Xu’er now? You’re still acting so high and mighty after doing that. How shaless!”
Ye Ze’s face was cold. “Madam Lian, we haven’t figured out what happened. Please calm down.”
“You haven’t figured it out? Ha, what do you an by that?”
She sneered and took out the phone from her bag.
After pressing sothing, she was thrown onto the table in front of Li Tingshen.
A voice that everyone was familiar with sounded slowly. One could clearly imagine her expression through her voice—
“Everyone understands that the most important thing to the cold and indifferent Li Tingshen in this world is his mother and the Li Corporation that his father left for him. Everyone knows that I like him. However, even though we’re getting married, he has never said that he loves . I don’t know when he will leave , so I think that if I can hold the most important thing to him, he won’t leave anyti.
“You should know very well that his mother likes Liang Xuer. Even now, she still wants to matchmake him and Liang Xuer. I can’t get her, so I can only have designs on the Li Corporation.”
“I’ve ntioned to him a few tis that I want to put the Li Corporation under my na. He didn’t agree and said that if the software developnt results this ti don’t work, the Li Corporation will suffer a loss and it will be easy for to obtain the Li Corporation. Actually, the Li Corporation pales in comparison to the Ye Corporation. It doesn’t suffer a loss and I don’t care how valuable it is. I only want the Li Corporation.”
“…My goal is to completely destroy the procedures this ti. The Li Corporation will be facing a huge loan problem. Then, the Ye Corporation will help to return the money and the Li Corporation will be under my na.”
“… Without surveillance caras, I can’t find out who it is. He has no reason to suspect .”
“Young Master Qin, if I want to destroy it, I’ll destroy it completely. I know a little about programming. Take this ordinary USB drive and move these docunts. I think any engineer here has the ability to retrieve the missing docunts. What’s the point of doing this?”
“There’s a virus in that USB drive. I specially got soone to prepare it for today. Once it’s inserted into the computer, the virus inside will automatically shatter everything inside, including the computer’s calculation data. The data will be destroyed and the computer will be scrapped.”
…
Qin Hao’s voice was mixed in.
But it was no longer important.
Ye Qingqiu’s already pale face turned completely pale.
She subconsciously looked at Li Tingshen, and he slowly looked at her.
The gloominess in his eyes gradually turned into mockery before he sneered.
“You’re quite capable. Even the computing data on the computer has been wiped out. You’ve destroyed it completely.”
Ye Qingqiu hurriedly shook her head and walked towards him. “It’s not like that, Li Tingshen…”
Li Tingshen suddenly raised his hand and pushed her hand away.
Ye Qingqiu swayed and supported herself against the desk.
“Then what is it?” Li Tingshen looked at her coldly, his dark gaze piercing her nerves inch by inch.
“You’ve indeed ntioned to more than once that you want to take over the Li Corporation. You’ve also said that you don’t want to destroy the Li Corporation. I thought you were joking. Ye Qingqiu, it’s been so long. Why are you learning such boring things? If I want you to read so company docunts, you’ll feel as uncomfortable as being skinned alive. However, you’re only interested in those cumberso programming codes. Why do you go to the engineering departnt every day when you have ti, huh?”
“You’re saying that the sentence in the recording is fake? Perhaps you’re right about one thing. If there are no surveillance caras, I have no reason to suspect that you did it. But it’s also wrong. In fact, there are no surveillance caras, only recordings.”
Liang Xuer stood at the side and looked at the crack in the ground not far away. There was a faint mocking smile on her face.
It seed like even if she didn’t do anything, Ye Qingqiu would be finished.
Ye Qingqiu felt terrible and her head was spinning.
“Li Tingshen, I did say those words in the recording, but they’re not true. I said those words to deceive Qin Jianjia…”
Li Tingshen narrowed his eyes and turned to look at her. He clenched his fists and placed them on the table beside him.
He seed to be thinking, as if he believed Ye Qingqiu’s words and was looking for a breakthrough for her.
At this mont, Liang Xuer suddenly said, “If you want to lie to Qin Hao, it’s enough for him to handcuff the items into the USB drive and take them away. Why do you have to remind him that he might be found? Don’t you think your words are contradictory?”
Liang Xuer’s words completely overturned Ye Qingqiu’s explanation.
Li Tingshen’s eyes flickered. When he raised his head again, his eyes were dark and cold again.
Ye Qingqiu was about to ntion the USB flash drive when she was slapped back by his gaze.
At the sa ti, four people in uniforms walked in.
Seeing this, Lian Lili hurriedly said, “The Ministry of Justice, right? It’s her. She colluded with others to maliciously destroy the company’s secrets. The losses are huge and the evidence is conclusive. Please take her away imdiately! We’ll prepare to sue imdiately!”
Li Tingshen frowned slightly and looked at Lian Lili.
Lian Lili handed Qin Hao’s phone to one of them.
Upon hearing the ntion of the Ministry of Justice, Ye Qingqiu raised her head abruptly and looked at the tall man beside her in panic.
“Li Tingshen… are you going to sue ? Are you going to sue ?”
