Quick Transmigration: Don't Let That Cannon Fodder Go

Chapter 17 That CEO Novel Cannon Fodder 17

"Miss, besides the USB drive, what else did you lose?" the person on the other end of the phone asked.

"There's only a USB drive, but the files inside are very important; they contain a lot of trade secrets," Wen Ruchu said anxiously.

"Oh, I see. Why don't you talk to the subway staff first? Are you sure it was stolen? Did you forget it somewhere?"

Wen Ruchu was so angry she could hardly breathe: "I really didn't forget, I even glanced at it when I entered the subway."

"Miss, please don't worry. Investigating this kind of thing is too troublesome. Please contact the subway staff first."

No matter what Wen Ruchu said, the other side kept repeating the same few sentences, just passing the buck.

Wen Ruchu could only run to find the staff. She walked against the flow of people, surrounded by complaints.

The staff are outsourced and don't really care about these things. With so many people, it would be hard to find them even if there were security cameras.

"Could you please show me the surveillance footage? I'll find it myself," Wen Ruchu said breathlessly as she squatted on the ground.

The staff member frowned: "This needs to be reported, you may have to wait."

Wen Ruchu had no choice but to stand aside and wait. She numbly watched the people coming and going. She never expected Song Zhikang to use such despicable means.

Wen Ruchu urged them several times, and the staff's expressions became increasingly impatient.

"Miss, your company's documents should all be backed up, right? Why don't you just make another backup?"

I was tired of going to work.

The number of people in the subway station dwindled, and the staff began packing up.

"Can you take me to see the surveillance footage now?"

The staff member looked exhausted. He glanced at her and said, "The person in charge of the surveillance cameras has gone off duty. We can't adjust it now. Come back tomorrow during the day."

"But I'm really in a hurry right now." Wen Ruchu frowned.

But no matter what she said, the subway staff still didn't take her to see the surveillance footage.

The wind was a bit chilly tonight. Song Xianyin groggily huddled under the covers, suddenly feeling a sense of foreboding.

The next day at daybreak, reporters surrounded the entrance to the Gu family's building. The security guards below tried to stop them, but the reporters rushed up with microphones as if they didn't care about their lives.

"Is it true that the illegitimate daughter of the Song family drugged President Gu?"

"The Song Group is currently in dire straits. President Gu has already had a one-night stand with Miss Song. Has President Gu considered giving the Song Group a hand?"

"Rumor has it that Miss Song went to see a gynecologist a few days ago. Is the child Mr. Gu's?"

The employees nearby were also blocked outside and couldn't get into the company at all.

The internet exploded. Gu Peisi had never been involved in any scandals before, but he made such a big splash right from the start.

The video of Song Xianyin drugging someone went viral online, but it was taken down shortly afterward, and even the related keywords were blocked.

A reporter with sharp eyes noticed the employee next to him and shoved the microphone in front of the employee.

"Are you an employee of Gu's Group? I heard that Miss Song had a one-night stand with President Gu and then smoothly joined Gu's Group. Are you aware of this news?"

All the other reporters also rushed over.

"Mr. Gu had a relationship with Miss Song, but never revealed Miss Song's identity. Was it because he thought Miss Song was not presentable? Did the Gu family know about this?"

The employees were so surrounded by microphones that they dared not speak.

How could she know what President Gu was thinking?

Chaos erupted at the entrance of the Gu family's residence. Live streams on the internet were being blocked and then reopened one by one, and the situation was escalating.

Wen Ruchu watched this scene from a short distance away. Her face was extremely pale. It had all happened.

Before long, police cars arrived at the Gu family's gate, and the crowd was full of reporters who didn't disappear until quite a while later.

The area in front of the Gu family's house finally quieted down.

Song Zhikang was comfortably browsing the forum at home when suddenly, the posts disappeared as he was scrolling through them.

Song Zhikang cursed under his breath, thinking it must be Gu Peisi's doing. But every time he posted, his thread was blocked, and the blocking speed was faster than the posting speed.

The news on the forum was quickly flooded with messages about a male celebrity's infidelity.

"Damn it!" Song Zhikang continued posting; he couldn't let this matter pass by like this.

But before he could even post it, his account was banned.

Song Zhikang was so angry that his breathing stopped. He looked at his banned account and thought, "Oh well, I've already seen what I saw."

He not only wanted to make Song Xianyin unhappy, but also Gu Peisi unhappy.

In just one day, the Gu family's shares plummeted, and Grandma Gu was so angry at the old house that she couldn't eat.

I initially thought Song Xianyin was clever, but it turns out she did something so disgraceful.

Sunlight streamed in through the gap in the curtains, and Song Xianyin frowned unhappily, shifting her position as she lay down.

Gu Peisi picked her up from her house early this morning, while she was still asleep.

She thought she wouldn't be able to sleep in his room, but she slept quite comfortably.

Gu Peisi walked into the room and was taken aback when he saw Song Xianyin sitting on the bed in a daze.

"Are you awake so early?"

Gu Peisi lay on the bed, holding the blanket and Song Xianyin together in his arms.

Song Xianyin snuggled against him, mumbling sleepily, "I'm both sleepy and not sleepy..."

Gu Peisi kissed her forehead and coaxed, "It's all my fault for waking you up so early. You should sleep a little longer."

He was afraid that if he didn't bring her here so early, reporters would block her doorstep.

This was all thanks to Secretary Lin, the night owl.

At 3:30 a.m., Secretary Lin was still browsing the forum with his perpetually dark circles under his eyes when he suddenly saw his boss's name and Miss Song's name!

He was so shocked by what he saw on the forum that he almost died of fright.

Wasn't this matter resolved? Why is it trending again, and why is the topic going viral?

So he quickly called Gu Peisi. The topic had been suppressed at four o'clock, but for some reason it exploded again at seven o'clock.

Gu Peisi gently patted Song Xianyin's back, and only when he saw her breathing gradually become steady did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Looking at Song Xianyin sleeping soundly in his arms, Gu Peisi felt a sense of satisfaction he had never felt before. He kissed her face and hugged her even tighter.

Soon, those online marketing accounts received lawyer's letters.

At the same time, Gu's Group also issued a statement, saying that the two were in a normal relationship and that Gu Peisi was pursuing Song Xianyin. The video circulating online of drugging her was fake, and there was no setup or one-night stand. They also stated that anyone who spreads rumors will be held legally responsible.

Secretary Lin sat in front of his office and wiped the sweat from his forehead. His hand was sore from sending out lawyer's letters all day.

Such a blurry video, as long as they don't admit it, then it's fake. But if they really admit it, regardless of whether Ms. Song had a relationship with the president or not, she can forget about having any reputation left.
