The CEO is domineering, the devil Boss is addicted to pampering

Chapter 1361 Yunrui engraved loyalty: Shen Chengyu of the Shen family

Song Yuanzhe ignored his questioning and walked straight to Su Xingya. He placed the documents in his briefcase on the table and said, "Director Wang, take a look at this first."

He pointed at the name "Zhang Hao" circled by Qi Ruixiang and said, "Zhang Qiming's nephew suddenly resigned from the subsidiary a while ago. He was in charge of the core data management of the Nightingale Project. I'm not sure if the information here is clear enough."

The conference room suddenly became quiet. Several directors came over to look at the documents. The expressions on their faces changed from anger to surprise, and then gradually turned solemn.

Su Xingya picked up the document and repeatedly stroked the resume of "Zhang Hao" with her fingertips, frowning tightly. "I remember this person. Gu Yunqian promoted him last year and said he was very talented in data security. How could it be..."

"People's hearts are hidden." Song Yuanzhe sighed and pulled up a chair. "Zhang Qiming's retraction of his confession happened right after Zhang Hao resigned. The evidence framing Qi Ruixiang would have required someone extremely familiar with the company's internal systems to fabricate. Judging from all the signs, Zhang Hao is the most likely suspect."

"But why would he do this?" another director asked doubtfully. "He has a promising future within the Gu family. There's no need for him to take such a huge risk and ruin the company, right?"

"That requires asking about his relationship with overseas organizations." Song Yuanzhe's tone darkened. "According to the clues provided by Qi Ruixiang, Zhang Hao made an overseas trip after resigning, and his destination was a Southeast Asian port where the Nightingale Organization was active. Furthermore, the anonymous remittance in Zhang Qiming's account also originated from an overseas shell company, which was likely used by the Nightingale Organization to transfer funds."

Su Xingya's fingers tapped lightly on the table, a clear look in her eyes. "So, Zhang Hao was bribed by the Nightingale Organization? They exploited his uncle Zhang Qiming's greed and set up a scheme step by step, first framing Yunqian and Yunxi, then blaming Qi Ruixiang, and finally not letting the Yang family go. Their goal is to completely destroy the Gu family and seize the core technology of the Nightingale Project?"

"It's very likely." Song Yuanzhe nodded, his tone still heavy. "But there's another problem. Although Zhang Hao is familiar with the company system, he's only been there for a few years. It's impossible for him to know so many core secrets of the Gu family, such as Yunxi's encryption key, Mr. Gu's personal account information, or even the situation of the Yang family. This information can only be accessed by those who have been with the Gu family for a long time and have a high enough status."

This statement was like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing the hopes that had just ignited in the conference room. Su Xingya leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes wearily. Yes, the person behind the scenes not only had to be fully aware of the Gu family's business affairs, but also had to be fully aware of the family's private information. Who was this person?

"Could it be... someone within the family?" A director hesitated, a hint of fear in his voice. "After all, only someone within the family would know so many secrets. Only someone within the family would hate the Gu family so deeply and want to completely destroy it."

This sentence was like a thunderclap, and the conference room fell into silence in an instant.

Everyone's eyes subconsciously swept across each other's faces, and the air was filled with suspicion.

Su Xingya suddenly opened her eyes, and a thought that she dared not think deeply about flashed through her mind - the group has gone through all the ups and downs over the years, and Gu Yunqian will not leave any trouble for herself.

Who could it be...

"No matter who it is, the most important thing now is to find Zhang Hao." Song Yuanzhe broke the silence with a firm tone, "As long as we can catch him, we can follow the clues and find evidence of the Nightingale Organization. Not only can we clear Qi Ruixiang, Yunqian, and Yunxi of suspicion, but we can also preserve the Nightingale Project and stabilize the company."

Su Xingya nodded and cheered herself up. "I've asked Lin Junze to keep an eye on Zhang Hao in the UK. He has extensive connections in Southeast Asia and might be able to find some clues. Also, I'll have my legal team compile all of Zhang Hao's information and submit it to the police, requesting assistance in obtaining a wanted warrant."

"There's also public opinion," Song Yuanzhe added. "There's too much negative coverage online about the Gu and Yang families. I'll contact the media and release evidence of Zhang Hao's suspicion to guide public opinion, alleviate Director Yang's pressure, and buy us more time."

After the meeting, the directors' emotions gradually stabilized and they began to perform their duties. The originally chaotic situation finally showed a glimmer of hope.

Song Yuanzhe followed Su Xingya into the office and saw her leaning tiredly on the sofa with the red bloodshot under her eyes clearly visible. He couldn't help but feel a little distressed - this woman who once only needed to assist Gu Yunqian, now has to support the entire Gu family alone, bearing pressure that ordinary people can hardly imagine.

"Don't be too tired, take care of yourself." Song Yuanzhe handed over a glass of warm water, "Your father-in-law is still waiting in the hospital. Yunqian and Yunxi still need you. This family can't live without you."

Su Xingya took the cup of water, and the warm touch on her fingertips made her relax a little: "I'm fine, but sometimes I wonder what we did wrong, and why so many people want to destroy the Gu family?"

Song Yuanzhe sat down across from her, gazing out the window at the skyscrapers. "The Gu family has been in the business world for so many years, so it's inevitable that they'll offend some people and draw envy. If the Nightingale Project's technology succeeds, it could monopolize the entire memory material market. Such a temptation is enough to tempt many people to take such a risk."

"But is it just temptation?" Su Xingya shook her head, her tone tinged with doubt. "The other party's methods are too ruthless. Not only do they want to destroy the company, they also want to ruin the reputations of all of us, even pregnant women and children. This is no longer a simple business competition, it's more like... revenge."

Revenge? Song Yuanzhe's heart skipped a beat. He remembered Gu Mingcheng mentioning, in his youth, that in his early days as a business owner, he'd faced fierce competition with a company called "Shen's Group." Ultimately, Shen's Group went bankrupt, and its founder, Old Shen, died of depression, leaving behind a young son. At the time, he'd thought it was just a common business grudge, but now, thinking about it, could it be...

"You mean, Old Shen's son?" Song Yuanzhe asked tentatively.

Su Xingya nodded. "I looked up the information. Old Shen's son is called Shen Chengyu. He went abroad with his mother back then, and there has been no news of him in recent years. But last month, I saw this name on a list of overseas cooperation projects. I didn't think much of it at the time, but now I think it might not be a coincidence."

Song Yuanzhe frowned tightly. "If it's really him, then his understanding of the Gu family makes sense. Shen Zhenhai was your father's old rival and is very familiar with the Gu family. His son may have heard about it since he was a child, and he may have even been secretly investigating for so many years just for revenge."

"Furthermore, Shen Chengyu's overseas career is in the field of data security, which matches Zhang Hao's expertise. They may have known each other for a long time, or even be accomplices."

Su Xingya added, her tone becoming increasingly certain, "Zhang Hao is responsible for internal coordination, and Shen Chengyu is responsible for contacting overseas organizations. Only by working together can they lay out such a thorough plan."

The truth seemed to become clearer and clearer, but Song Yuanzhe felt even more depressed.

If the person behind the scenes is really Lu Chengyu, then this revenge will never end easily, and what they will face next may be even more crazy revenge.

"No matter who's behind this, I have to put an end to this matter in my hands." Su Xingya stood up and walked to the French window. Looking at the endless stream of people downstairs, her eyes became firm again. "The Gu family cannot collapse, and Yunqian and Yunxi cannot be wronged."

Song Yuanzhe also stood up and walked to her side: "You have really grown up. Your father in heaven would be very pleased if he could see this."
