Linda let out a disdainful snort. Looking at the Mengs' company that had just been rescued from the fire, a shadow flashed across her eyes.
She never expected things to turn out so extreme.
Originally, she just wanted to frame Meng Nianchu for plagiarizing others' products and disrespecting copyright, so that she would suffer a lot and be forced to step down. She never thought that the real owner of the design drawings would be so radical as to set the place on fire directly.
Anyway, this was a place she had been to countless times. In order to inherit this company, she had resorted to many tricks and made a lot of efforts against Meng Nianchu. Seeing it in such a state now, Linda couldn't help feeling a bit reluctant.
She didn't stay any longer. She turned around and left the area. Before leaving, she gave Mu Junze a flirtatious look and said something sweet, like she would miss him.
Meng Nianchu could strongly feel Mu Junze's urge to knock Linda down on the spot.
Two hours after the fire brigade put out the fire, the company finally quieted down. What happened today had caused great psychological trauma to the employees of the company, so Meng Nianchu let them go home to rest first.
After all, the first floor of the company had been burned beyond recognition. It was useless for them to stay here, and Meng Nianchu needed to find someone to repair it.
After the passers - by nearby saw that there was no more excitement to watch, they left one after another. Meng Nianchu and Mu Junze were busy cleaning up the wreckage on the first floor.
Li Xiao didn't leave. She silently followed Meng Nianchu and helped clean up.
Most of the things on the first floor of the company were for the lounge to receive guests. Fortunately, there were not many people sitting there when the fire broke out, and the important documents of the company were not there either.
After simply tidying up the things, Mu Junze found some professionals to handle the rest.
Meng Nianchu had doubts in her heart. When Mu Junze was not around, she looked at Li Xiao seriously and asked, "Tell me the truth. Is Linda involved in your plagiarism?"
Li Xiao's body visibly trembled.
Seeing her reaction, Meng Nianchu immediately knew that her guess was right. No wonder someone as capable as Li Xiao would make such a low - level mistake as plagiarism. No wonder her expression was so strange when she saw Linda.
It turned out that Linda was really involved!
"Why did you agree to do this?"
"She has my nude photos." As she said this, the grievances Li Xiao had endured during this period finally found an outlet. Big tears rolled down her cheeks, and she choked with sobs, "That day when you asked me why I left the company early one night without telling you. Actually, I didn't go home. I just wanted to buy some late - night snacks. As soon as I left the company, I was grabbed by the people sent by Linda. They..."
"Damn it!"
Meng Nianchu rushed out.
Li Xiao couldn't stop her even by shouting.
As soon as Meng Nianchu left the company, she headed straight for the Xiaomei Bar. When Linda left the company just now, Meng Nianchu heard her on the phone, saying that she was going there.
She went there aggressively. She inquired about Linda's private room at the front desk, then kicked open the door. Seeing Linda sitting in the corner, she strode forward, grabbed her collar and dragged her out.
The three other little sisters in the private room with Linda wanted to help when they saw Linda being dragged away, but one of the girls in the room said, "That's Meng Nianchu. Her husband is Mu Junze. If you go to help Linda, you'll be going against the entire Meng and Mu families."
Hearing this, no one dared to go any further.
Meng Nianchu directly dragged Linda into the women's restroom and threw her against the wall. Then she slapped her across the face.
Being dragged out of the private room so embarrassingly by Meng Nianchu, Linda was already extremely angry. And then being slapped for no reason, she became even more furious. She bared her teeth and pounced on Meng Nianchu.
Meng Nianchu firmly grabbed her arm and forcefully pulled her forward.
"Where are Li Xiao's photos?"
Hearing this, Linda was stunned for a moment. After a while, she came to her senses and let out a sneering laugh.
"That bitch Li Xiao..."
"I'm asking you where the photos are!" Meng Nianchu tightened her grip on Linda's arm.
Linda groaned in pain.
"Do you think I'll tell you just because you ask? Who do you think you are! The photos of Li Xiao are in my hands. I can do whatever I want. You'd better be careful. If you make me angry, I'll send all the photos out!"
"Ah!"
Meng Nianchu threw Linda against the wall forcefully. "I'm asking you one last time. Where are the photos?"
Completely enraged, Meng Nianchu's eyes were blood - red. Her sharp gaze was fixed on Linda, as if she wanted to skin her alive.
Linda was scared by Meng Nianchu's expression. She swallowed hard and tightened her grip on her handbag.
Meng Nianchu had no patience left. She suddenly snatched the handbag and rummaged through it herself. She found Linda's phone in the bag and forcibly grabbed Linda's thumb to unlock the screen.
She found the photos of Li Xiao stored in the phone.
Seeing these, Meng Nianchu got even angrier. She gasped heavily and deleted all the photos. Then she carefully checked to see if Linda had any backups.
After making sure there were none, Meng Nianchu didn't spare the phone either. She directly threw it on the ground and stamped on it.
"If you ever have any bad ideas about the people around me, I won't let you off! This is a lesson for you today. Don't push your luck!"
Meng Nianchu turned around and walked out of the restroom.
Linda covered her chest and sneered, "So what if you won't let me off? Your company was still burned down by the fire. This is God's retribution for you. It's all your fault that I've become like this. Even God can't stand it!"
"Shameless!" Meng Nianchu angrily turned back. Her words were sharp and hit Linda right in the heart. "You've brought all this on yourself. If you hadn't seduced Mu Junze and targeted me everywhere, would you be in this situation? You've only yourself to blame. It has nothing to do with others."
"You're lying!" Linda covered her ears like a madwoman.
Meng Nianchu stepped out of the restroom.
She had finally vented her anger for herself and Li Xiao. After being beaten and insulted by Meng Nianchu, Linda became completely crazy after coming out of the restroom.
She looked dull - witted and absent - minded. As if thinking of something, a dark shadow suddenly crept into her eyes, and she let out a strange laugh.
Meng Nianchu, I will definitely kill you!
Li Xiao, who had been waiting nervously in the company and didn't dare to leave, finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Meng Nianchu come back.
The first thing Meng Nianchu said when she saw Li Xiao was, "There are no more photos of you in Linda's hands. You don't need to be afraid of her in the future. That woman is as vicious as a snake. You'd better stay away from her."
