Chapter 520: Thief Crying ‘Stop Thief!’

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Upon hearing Gu Chen’s words, everyone held their breath. They knew that President Gu was angry.

“President Gu, what do you mean?” Fang Si asked, her voice tinged with fear.

She had felt slightly reassured, thinking that the recent online comments against Song Fan had been damaging. Fang Si composed herself, then spoke with an aggrieved tone, “President Gu, the security department found that Song Fan didn’t leave the conference room that day. Xinrui Pharmaceuticals would certainly pay her for the formula. An audit of her accounts might reveal her involvement!”

Fang Si held a significant position within Gu Corporation and had good relationships with many companies in the industry. She believed that Gu Chen would trust her words.

Gu Chen was about to have her taken away when Song Fan stepped forward to stop him.

Gu Corporation was already facing internal and external troubles, and the culprit behind Gu Chen’s poisoning was still unknown. Song Fan couldn’t let Gu Chen be accused of shielding someone.

“I have evidence of who did this. Do you?” Song Fan asked, her eyes devoid of emotion as she looked at Fang Si.

Dealing with such people only required presenting evidence.

“Of course I have evidence!” Fang Si pushed a man beside her, “Didn’t you say Song Fan was in the conference room these past few days? Didn’t you see her?”

The man, who had taken Fang Si’s money, was hesitant. Although he had been bribed, Gu Chen’s attitude toward Song Fan was clear. He didn’t dare to accuse Song Fan directly, “Miss Song was in the research room and spent a lot of time in the conference room, but I couldn’t see if she stole any files from outside.”

“You!” Fang Si glared at him, but he kept his head down.

Fang Si closed her eyes briefly. Fortunately, she had other plans, “Even if he didn’t see it, someone at Xinrui Pharmaceuticals can surely prove who sold the formula.”

“So, you don’t have evidence yet, right?” Song Fan didn’t wait for her response and walked straight to the conference room’s computer.

This computer had been Wu Yong’s and then became a shared computer. Song Fan quickly typed on the keyboard, and the screen displayed a video.

The video showed Fang Si nervously using the computer, hurriedly taking a USB drive.

“Thief crying ‘stop thief!’ Shameless!” Zhao Min said angrily, and several staff members nodded silently behind her.

Fang Si’s professional skills were weak, and she often bossed others around. Now, trying to frame Song Fan, whom they admired, was unacceptable. Song Fan’s arrival had finally brought progress to their stalled research, and they didn’t want her to leave.

“I am the department manager. What’s wrong with using the computer?” Fang Si was flustered. She hadn’t realized the computer’s camera could serve as a surveillance tool.

Top researchers like Song Fan and Wu Yong were highly protective of their data. Despite not being tech-savvy, Wu Yong had activated the surveillance system. With Song Fan’s skills, accessing the footage was easy.

“Do you want me to trace the content you copied, and the paths of the files on your USB drive?” Song Fan looked at her mockingly. “You should know that all of this can be tracked, right? And you probably can’t explain the sudden influx of money in your account either, can you?”

Song Fan hadn’t had time to investigate, but she guessed Fang Si was involved. Fang Si’s panicked reaction confirmed it.

Fang Si had no idea that Song Fan was an expert in computers. She had always focused on becoming a good PR professional and rarely entered the lab.

Seeing the staff’s dark expressions and Gu Chen on the verge of exploding, Fang Si grew even more fearful. How had things turned out so differently?

“President Gu, it’s not true. She’s framing me,” Fang Si pleaded.

But Gu Chen had heard enough. He waved his hand, “Is the security department doing nothing? Take her away and send her to the police.”

“No! Don’t! President Gu!” Fang Si panicked as the security personnel approached her. “President Gu, without me, do you think these people can get our drugs to market? You don’t think just having good drugs guarantees sales, do you?”

With a desperate look in her eyes, Fang Si played her last card. As long as she was valuable, Gu Chen wouldn’t get rid of her.

“Do you know the current market environment? Do you know who’s in charge of pharmaceuticals in hospitals?” Fang Si cried bitterly. “If I take my resources to another company, what chance does Gu Corporation have?”
