Chapter 340 - Betrayal
Chapter 340 Betrayal
Gu Yan just wanted to get the bottom of the whole thing to prove the studio’s innocence.
Gu Yan couldn’t figure out where the money came from, but she finally made sure that it must be one between Assistant Liu and Jiang Jingcheng.
“For Assistant Liu, the reason might be that Assistant Liu values the friendship between us. She is more like an intimate friend to me and we get along well with each other.”
“As for Jiang Jingcheng, he is most likely to be the one who betrays the studio. Maybe he would like to make up for what he had done with the money to comfort his poor conscience.”
Gu Yan was analyzing to Manla, but what Manla said woke her up.
“Don’t you have any surveillance camera in your studio? What if we check the surveillance video? Isn’t it easier?”
Gu Yan thought Manla got the point. Gu Yan’s eyes were bright. She was excited to open the computer and found the previous video.
Gu Yan and Manla were staring at the screen and wanted to found out what had happened with all their concentrations.
There was a tall man appearing in the video who hid in the corridor stealthily, looking around time to time, just like a thief.
“See? Your studio got a thief. Didn’t you notice that before?” Manla said ironically in an exaggerated way.
“There is nothing of value in my studio. I guess the thief didn’t even know what to steal when he came in. See, there is nothing but a few pieces of paper in my studio.”
At the moment, Gu Yan sneered and felt it was ridiculous. She even felt a little sorry for the thief.
But what happened the next second surprised both of them…
The man stared at Gu Yan’s office for roughly one minute. Unexpectedly, he took out all his savings from his wallet and put them on one side of the corridor. After that, he glanced at Gu Yan’s office again and hurried off.
“It was the thief who gave you the bank cards. That is so interesting. A thief couldn’t bear the bad situations of your studio and gave you the money!”
“The thief gave you all his money to you. I can’t believe my eyes. This is the most incredible thing I ever met.”
Manla looked at the stealthy man in the screen and then saw Gu Yan who was lost in thought. Manla felt that the world was really full of wonders.
Gu Yan suddenly noticed the coat on the man was a little familiar in the video when Manla asked her to have dinner.
She remembered that the coat was the one Jiang Jingcheng wore when she met him at the first time. At that time, Gu Yan had praised his good taste in dressing silently in her heart.
“It’s… Jiang Jingcheng!” Gu Yan screamed.
Manla was scared by Gu Yan. Noticing that Gu Yan was full of surprises, Manla closed to the screen at once and focused on the man in the video once again. The man was…
“I got it. I seem to have seen him somewhere before. But where?” Manla tried to recollect. She was pretty sure she had met him because he was so familiar.
Gu Yan thought Manla was kidding. Jiang Jingcheng had only been working for the studio for only half a month and Manla seldom came to the studio. How could Manla meet him?
Looking at Jiang Jingcheng who took out his bank cards from his wallet and put them on one side of the corridor in the video over and over again, Gu Yan knew exactly it was Jiang Jingcheng who ruined the studio. Now she got the irrefutable proof. However, she didn’t figure out why he would frame her and make her studio desperate. Gu Yan hadn’t done anything offensive to him.
“It’s impossible. I never ever offended him. Why did he do this?”
It was hard for Gu Yan to believe that was Jiang Jingcheng. But the fact forced her to do it.
Some ideas seemed to come to Manla when she heard Gu Yan’s unintentional words.
“I remembered where I met him. The day in a shopping mall, I saw he was shopping with Chen Qian, hands in hands happily.”
From the description of Manla, the relationship between Jiang Jingcheng and Chen Qian was more than friends. They seemed to be a couple.
At that moment in the shopping mall, Manla was confused that the person Chen Qian loved most was Mo Yichen. Why Chen Qian was dating someone else.
Manla despised Chen Qian and thought she was a fickle woman. But now, everything got the connections. The whole thing had an ulterior motive.
“Jiang Jingcheng and Chen Qian?” Gu Yan couldn’t believe her ears.
The troubles Gu Yan had encountered were made by Chen Qian. It was beyond Gu Yan’s expectation that Chen Qian had entrapped her with an extremely atrocious means.
The truth slowly came to light. Everything became clearer.
The true story was that Jiang Jingcheng was ordered by Chen Qian to earn trust from Gu Yan. Then he stole the confidential information of Gu Yan’s studio and got the studio in troubles.
“They are so malicious. How can you defeat them on your own?”
Gu Yan was heart-broken again when she thought of every single detail happened during that time and when Jiang Jingcheng firstly came to the studio, what he did was somewhat deliberate.
Betrayal? It was not a strange word for Gu Yan. There were many people she trusted who had sold her out over and over again since Wen Yunfeng betrayed her, except Manla and Mo Yichen.
Gu Yan cheered herself again. She knew that it was meant to experience that. Why not face it with a smile?
“It’s ok, Yan. You still have Mo Yichen who will support you and never let you down. I believe he will stand up for your and show your innocence to the public!”
“Time will tell!”
Manla leaned on the desk, staring blankly at the ceiling. From her point of view, everything Gu Yan going through was no need to concern because Mo Yichen would handle all.
But Manla didn’t know Gu Yan and Mo Yichen hadn’t talked to each other for a long time.
Every time when Gu Yan was upset, she would think of Mo Yichen’s words, “Don’t worry, Yan. I will be there for you when you need me.”
But now it was so ridiculous.
“Mo Yichen?” Gu Yan whispered. She missed him and wanted to cry and tell all these crap things to him in his arms. She missed his voice and missed everything about him!
But where was him?
Was he still mad at her? Was he in trouble? Did he eat well? When would he come back?
Gu Yan knew nothing about Mo Yichen. She was afraid the love between them would be slowly diluted by time. She was afraid to lose Mo Yichen like this.
The loneliness, sorrow and infinite pessimism overwhelmed her. She got breathless.
These days Mo Yichen was restless for no reasons and he got a bad feeling that something bad was going to happen!
