Chapter 1320: Suspect
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
“Who are you referring to?” Yang Ming glanced at Bao Sanli who was stuttering. “If you have anything to say, just say it. There’s no need to stutter like that…”
“Yes… your Fifth Cousin…” Bao Sanli said, a little embarrassed.
” Oh , it is him.” Yang Ming didn’t have any deep connection with his Fifth Cousin. They didn’t even see each other before, let alone have a deep connection. He only answered faintly, “He just came here to get a free salary. Give him a place to pass the time and forget about him.”
Seeing that Yang Ming had no connection with the Fifth Cousin, Bao Sanli also let go of it in his heart. In the future, he didn’t have to give him any face. Bao Sanli could just give him a cushy position without letting him do anything.
” Ah !” Jing Xiaolu suddenly yelled which shocked Yang Ming, Bao Sanli, and Zhou Jiajia.
“What’s wrong with you? Why are you shouting?” Yang Ming looked at Jing Xiaolu, baffled. “You screamed all of a sudden. Are you trying to scare me?”
“I remembered it. If there is a grudge, it is en … that Wang Xiaoran!” Jing Xiaolu hesitated and said with certainty, “When I got off work today, she came to me to ridicule me and ask me why my boyfriend didn’t pick me up with a BMW. She’s really annoying…”
“A BMW?” Zhou Jiajia was stunned. She looked at Jing Xiaolu, baffled. Then, she looked at Yang Ming. She seemed to be able to sense something, but she was not a girl who liked to stir things up. Even she knew certain things, so she wouldn’t simply talk about it or comment about it.
“I fetched Jing Xiaolu several times. Some people may have misunderstood it when they saw it.” Yang Ming saw Zhou Jiajia having doubts, so he explained, “Then rumors are spread around.”
” Oh , I see.” Zhou Jiajia nodded and didn’t ask anymore. “This Wang Xiaoran is indeed suspicious. However, if it’s just that, it is uncertain that she is the perpetrator. I will pay attention to investigate her later.”
“I just remembered…” Jing Xiaolu thought of something after being reminded by Yang Ming and Zhou Jiajia. She said, “It is her; it must be her!”
” Oh ? Why are you so sure?” Yang Ming looked at Jing Xiaolu being so certain, and he asked with some doubts.
“Previously, Yu Chi who is your Fifth Cousin… He had been pursuing me, but I didn’t bother with him. But today, I suddenly found him with Wang Xiaoran. It should be after this incident. Could Wang Xiaoran be the person who was behind all of this?” Jing Xiaolu was a schemer, so she immediately associated with the ins and outs of things with just a simple clue. “If Wang Xiaoran likes Yu Chi, and Yu Chi doesn’t like her but me, then she can take this opportunity to slander me and have Yu Chi give up.”
Yang Ming heard Jing Xiaolu’s analysis, and he was shocked. This Jing Xiaolu was really amazing. She figured out so many ins and outs with just a few sentences. Just as she said, this possibility was still very high. This Wang Xiaoran was indeed a major suspect.
Of course, it was not the first time Yang Ming learned of Jing Xiaolu’s strength, so he wasn’t quite baffled. On the contrary, Yang Ming was glad. Yang Ming was not the kind of person who disliked smart girls. Although he was somewhat chauvinistic, the more intelligent the women around him, the more he could continue to improve.
“What you said is true. In this case, this Wang Xiaoran might harm you. We will start investigating her computer first. Otherwise, we don’t have any target.” Yang Ming also found this Wang Xiaoran suspicious.
The elevator stopped. They came to the first floor of Jing Xiaolu’s office. This floor was where all the secretaries and assistants worked in the company. Wang Xiaoran was also one of the secretaries, and her desk was here.
“That’s the one!” Jing Xiaolu pointed to a desk and said, “Jiajia, can you take a look?”
Zhou Jiajia looked at Wang Xiaoran’s computer, and it was one of the most common Lenovo office brand computers. She switched on the computer and sat in Wang Xiaoran’s office spot.
Yang Ming, Jing Xiaolu, and Bao Sanli stood by the side. They dared not to disturb Zhou Jiajia as she did things. However, Wang Xiaoran’s computer specs were relatively low. It took a while to enter the system. Taking advantage of this time, Zhou Jiajia took out her small netbook and looked at Yang Ming. She hesitated, “Yang Ming, I want to check the MP social media. The IP address of the post. Can you… all step back first?”
” En ?” Yang Ming was slightly surprised. He looked at Zhou Jiajia, baffled. Checking the IP is not something that can’t be shown to others. What is the need to step back?
Seeing Yang Ming’s doubts, Zhou Jiajia blushed, bit her lip, and pleaded softly, “Yang Ming…”
Yang Ming was wondering, but when he saw Zhou Jiajia’s appearance at the moment, he had to accept her wish. So, he said, “Okay, we will wait for you on the side…”
After that, Yang Ming spoke to Jing Xiaolu and Bao Sanli, “Let’s go there and take a break. We can let Jiajia take care of things here.”
The two thought that Zhou Jiajia had some hidden technical skills that were inappropriate to be seen by outsiders. They did not think much about it. In their eyes, the hacker profession was mysterious, so they naturally went along with Yang Ming to rest on the sofa.
However, Yang Ming was still very baffled, especially Zhou Jiajia’s strange appearance. It was as though she was deliberately trying to hide something… Is there anything she has to do to avoid me?
Thinking of this, Yang Ming couldn’t sit still. Zhou Jiajia has never hidden anything from me, but what is going on this time? Yang Ming couldn’t help it. He looked in Zhou Jiajia’s direction with his special ability.
It turned out that Zhou Jiajia was logging into QQ. However, when Zhou Jiajia chose the QQ number, she did not choose the QQ number she usually used. Instead, she chose another unfamiliar QQ number from the QQ drop-down bar!
It was a five-digit QQ number, which was one of the earliest QQ numbers. Now, it was impossible to apply for such a number. It was also in line with Zhou Jiajia’s identity for her to have such a number, and the number was great. However, Yang Ming never knew that Zhou Jiajia still had such a QQ number.
Could it be that the QQ number that Zhou Jiajia is going to log in to has some secrets that she can’t let me know? Thinking of this, Yang Ming suddenly got nervous.
Although Yang Ming didn’t feel much for Zhou Jiajia in the beginning, and he was even very disgusted with her, the two people had resolved their misunderstanding and became lovers as time went by. Hence, Yang Ming still cared about Zhou Jiajia. However, Zhou Jiajia actually had a hidden identity, which made Yang Ming somewhat uncomfortable.
Even if there were another identity, Yang Ming felt that there was nothing that Zhou Jiajia couldn’t tell him. Now, Zhou Jiajia intended to avoid him which made Yang Ming somewhat uncomfortable.
His eyes stared at Zhou Jiajia’s computer screen in attention, watching Zhou Jiajia clicked the log in button. The little penguin in the lower right corner of the computer screen began to vibrate. Logging in…
“Do you want to have a drink?” Jing Xiaolu took a few cups of water from the water dispenser and handed one of them to Yang Ming.
” Oh , thank you…” Yang Ming was absent-minded and took a cup from Jing Xiaolu, and then he took a sip. His mind was not on this. His attention was focused on the small notebook in the Zhou Jiajia’s hands.
Finally, she successfully logged in to QQ. There was also a QQ login interface on Zhou Jiajia’s computer screen… and the nickname of this QQ…
” Pfft …” Yang Ming almost spat a mouthful of water in his mouth. He struggled very hard to hold it in his mouth. It got caught in Yang Ming’s throat, making him cough…
“Yang Ming, what’s wrong with you?” Jing Xiaolu was surprised and quickly patted Yang Ming’s back with her hand. “How come you choked? Drink slowly. Are you okay?”
Yang Ming shook his head with a smile… He didn’t anticipate the result would be like this.
Zhou Jiajia, over there, was also shocked by Yang Ming’s coughing. She looked at Yang Ming in doubt. She didn’t know what happened to Yang Ming all of a sudden.
Yang Ming grinned at Zhou Jiajia and smiled, indicating that he was fine. Zhou Jiajia only lowered her head and opened a chat window on QQ.
‘I Love Little Ming’… Zhou Jiajia’s QQ nickname is actually ‘I Love Little Ming’! Yang Ming’s shock after seeing this nickname was apparent. He almost choked to death from a sip of water.
Yang Ming wasn’t unfamiliar with this name. When he went to university with Zhou Jiajia last time, he met Li Boliang, the president of the computer science society. Li Boliang seemed to say that the first master of the Chinese hacker community was called ‘I Love Little Ming,’ but Yang Ming didn’t think much about it at the time. He just thought that this name was too rustic.
But now, he found that Zhou Jiajia was actually the first master of the Chinese hacker world, ‘I Love Little Ming!’ Yang Ming was shocked because Zhou Jiajia was the first master of the Chinese hacker community, but her name…
Originally, Yang Ming didn’t know what this ‘I Love Little Ming’ meant. At this moment, no matter how stupid he was, he understood this chick’s, Zhou Jiajia’s, heart… My name is Yang Ming… This Little Ming? Yang Ming suddenly broke into a sweat… No wonder Zhou Jiajia didn’t want to let him and Jing Xiaolu see that. It was indeed a bit embarrassing. It was no wonder that Zhou Jiajia had such a shy expression.
She should have the nickname from very early on. Otherwise, it would not be so famous. This was evident from Zhou Jiajia’s QQ number. This number had existed for many years.
It seemed that Zhou Jiajia had not changed her mind for so many years. Yang Ming sighed, thinking that she was really an infatuated girl. In real life, she might not be able to express her thoughts, but in the virtual Internet world, she didn’t mind giving herself such a name, so that everyone knew her thoughts.
Maybe she was afraid of getting caught, or she did not dare to write ‘I Love Yang Ming’ directly, so she wrote it as ‘I Love Little Ming’ which also prevented others from knowing about her real life.
Remembering that he was angry that Zhou Jiajia was reserved and hid something from him just now, Yang Ming was a bit ashamed. Zhou Jiajia didn’t want to hide anything from him, but this nickname was really embarrassing for him to see. If it were another person, he would feel embarrassed too.
Although the girl bluntly admitted her own thoughts in many cases and dared to speak out about who she liked, when they were truly together, she began to become shy and gradually revealed the girl’s restraint and shy nature.
It seemed the person chatting with Zhou Jiajia admired her, but he obviously did not know Zhou Jiajia’s gender. The person kept calling Zhou Jiajia “Brother Little Ming,” but Zhou Jiajia did not correct him.
This person should be the administrator of the MP social media. Zhou Jiajia asked him about the IP address of the post and asked him to block it.
The man readily answered Zhou Jiajia’s question and agreed with it. Apparently, he was thrilled to serve a great master like Zhou Jiajia.
Zhou Jiajia thanked him and turned off the notebook. Obviously, she did not want Yang Ming to see her QQ name. Logically, she had nothing to keep secret about this matter. The only thing she wanted to keep secret was her QQ nickname.
Looking at the computer next to Wang Xiaoran, it had already progressed to the login interface. It was just that the computer had a power-on password, but Zhou Jiajia solved it easily and entered the system. She began to check the data inside…
Zhou Jiajia first checked the company’s IP address, and then she spoke to Yang Ming, “Yang Ming, the IP address of the post is similar to the company’s IP address. I’m certain that this post was published from within the company. Now, let me check this computer.”
” En , check it out.” Yang Ming nodded absent-mindedly, still thinking about what he just saw. He didn’t know how to approach Zhou Jiajia about this. She would definitely be embarrassed if he said it directly, but he also couldn’t always pretend not to know…
This thing could only be discussed later. Yang Ming first gave up the idea of directly asking Zhou Jiajia even though he was curious about how Zhou Jiajia became the most powerful existence of the Chinese hacker community. When a girl could actually become a legend in the hacker world, this was more or less shocking, especially when this person was the person next to him in bed.
Yang Ming knew that Zhou Jiajia was great in computers, but he did not expect that she would be so powerful to the extent of being incredible and even unbelievable.
Yang Ming sighed. It seems that Zhou Jiajia was also a powerful character. How can there be so many talented people next to me?
“Yes, in the temporary file of the system, there is a record of postings. The post was certainly sent from this computer.” Zhou Jiajia checked for a while, and she directly said affirmatively.
“Really? You’re certain?” Jing Xiaolu stood up happily and ran in front of Zhou Jiajia. “Sister Jiajia, you are amazing!”
“It’s nothing much. Since we have a target, it is naturally simple to check it out.” Zhou Jiajia smiled shyly.
“That is also very amazing. If it were me, I wouldn’t be able to find out about it. I can only rely on guessing.” After Jing Xiaolu finished speaking, she was somewhat annoyed. “This Wang Xiaoran. It was really her who caused all this. I knew this b*tch is not a good person. This b*tch… Ugh, I don’t want to trouble her, but she came to trouble me!”
Jing Xiaolu was already very elegant, but she still couldn’t help but curse with foul language. Yang Ming was a little amused by the word “b*tch.” It did not come from Jing Xiaolu’s mouth for a long time. Today, she finally couldn’t help but curse it out once.
“Brother Yang, how do we deal with this matter?” Bao Sanli saw that the person who created the post had already been found, and he asked quickly.
“What do you want to do?” Yang Ming frowned and asked. “You are the CEO of the company. Do what you should do. Why are you asking me?”
“According to the company’s regulations, such things can be divided by the severity of the matter, and then we can decide to punish or even fire the employee.” Bao Sanli said, “However, this matter has a great impact. I think we should fire this employee.”
” En , you can decide.” Yang Ming nodded and agreed with Bao Sanli’s point of view. Originally, Yang Ming wanted to report to the police. Although she might not have committed a major crime, she would be detained due to her act of defamation.
However, since this Wang Xiaoran and Yu Chi got together, Yang Ming would give them face. He would just fire her and not pursue further investigation.
“I will fire her tomorrow morning.” Bao Sanli agreed with Yang Ming, and he also let it go in his heart.
“Hold a general staff meeting tomorrow morning to emphasize the work discipline. I will be present to listen to it too. You and Hou Zhenhan should host the meeting,” said Yang Ming.
“Okay, Brother Yang. I will arrange it now. I will call the Old Hou now.” Bao Sanli nodded.
Jing Xiaolu was somewhat unwilling. “It is really too merciful just to fire her. If it were the past, she would be beaten up.”
Yang Ming glanced at Jing Xiaolu in annoyance and amusement at the same time. “Stop the nonsense. What do you think this place is? The place where the little punks gather? This is a formal company! How old are you? You’re still so childish.”
“I’m just simply talking about it…” Jing Xiaolu stuck out her tongue. “I will fight for the leader position in the future, so of course, I’m just talking about it.”
“Jiajia, can you print out the evidence? Everything needs evidence. If there is no evidence, and Wang Xiaoran does not admit it, it will be a little troublesome. It will also cause a lot of trouble.” Yang Ming suddenly thought of this, so he said quickly.
“Okay, I will get this done now.” Zhou Jiajia began to print the evidence.
Yang Ming spoke to Bao Sanli, “Okay, I will go back first. You and Big Hou can meet each other and follow up with tomorrow’s meeting. I’m not joining that. I will go back and accompany Zhiyun to practice knife- throwing for a while.”
“No problem, Brother Yang.,” Bao Sanli nodded. “Don’t worry. Leave it to me. Right… the car key?”
Yang Ming smiled and waved at Jing Xiaolu on the side. “Xiaolu, your car key. You will have a car to drive tomorrow.”
” Ah ? Mine?” Jing Xiaolu took the car key from Bao Sanli and looked at the BMW logo on it. She shouted excitedly, “Yang Ming… I…”
Just as Jing Xiaolu wanted to say, “Yang Ming, I love you…” she realized that Zhou Jiajia was on the side, so she quickly stopped. She didn’t dare to kiss Yang Ming again, but she could not help but stomp her feet, feeling very happy.
