The Villain's Redemption

However, Liu Cheng'er had not time to analyze these things. Right now, all she was thinking about was winning— finally winning. That man whom she met the other day promised her things, shares, and properties once she became successful. Moreover, that man only wanted to make Mo Li leave that hateful Bella! He wasn't asking for any other conditions!

While Liu Cheng'er is not very familiar with Mr. Rogers before meeting him, she already made her research and she knew that the man was trustworthy. Additionally, he was selfless. Daniel only wanted to save his loved one from Bella. He was someone who loves Sarah wholeheartedly and was willing to do everything for her! Liu Cheng'er could only envy Sarah Qin and hope that Mo Li would soon treat her the way Daniel treated his fiance. That was Liu Cheng'er's dream!

"Are you alright, Cheng'er?" Mo Li's mother asked after they sat inside the conference room. This is a huge room that could accommodate up to thirty people. The room was supposed to be for the department heads. However, Liu Cheng'er chose this place as they also invited some of the IT team's members who were bringing their laptops so they could use them to try and trace the leak. "Why are you in a daze? Tell me honestly, did something happen? Why did Mo Li call us here?" she whispered.

"Mother," Liu Cheng'er bit her lips and looked at the people that were sitting on the long oval table. "Please don't get scared. No need to worry about anything else. I will tell you something but please control your reaction. I don't want this to affect your health." She responded while leaning towards the woman. "There is a possible leak in the company. The leak is the source of the current news about the governor. I believe called you out here because he doesn't want the Mo Family to get involved in this matter. After all, if words get out the company and the prestige of the whole Mo Family might be affected."

As expected, the woman instantly paled when she heard Liu Cheng'er's words. "Is that true?"

"Yes, mother. Now, all of the people here are actually thinking that it might be Miss Bella who leaked the news." Concern flashed in Liu Cheng'er's face. "I just— This is truly sad. I couldn't imagine Mo Li's emotions if Bella really betrayed her."

"You— You mean, there is a possibility that it's that woman?"

"Yes, mother. However, will know the truth soon. When I told Mo Li about this news, Miss Bella suddenly had an emergency and he had to personally bring her to the hospital. That's why he was late. But rest assured— "

"So that woman actually acted sick? To distract my son?" Zhang Bingbing hissed, her brows furrowed. "That woman is truly evil! I always knew this will happen! How dare she try to ruin my son's company and our family name? As expected of that Qin sl*t! She is just like her mother after all! A sl*t who is only good at seducing people! They are only good at using their body to manipulate people!"

"Bingbing, what is going on here?" Mo Li's father, Mo Bai immediately asked when he heard his wife's words.

"Hmph! That Bella actually leaked the scandalous health files of the Governor!"

"Mother, please lower your voice. We don't want other people to hear. We can't really say something like this without proof." Liu Cheng'er's words immediately made the people who heard them think that she was the righteous one who was trying to stop Mo Li's mother from saying some nonsense. On the outside, Liu Cheng'er's face was extremely righteous as she helped Zhang Bingbing take a seat. "Mother, please calm yourself. I understand that you are upset. But this might create some problems with your health."

"How can I calm down?" Zhang Bingbing's voice was already a little shrill. Now that she increased the volume of her voice, she sounded truly annoying. "That woman seduced my son and made him cancel a good engagement! Then, she actually dared to betray his trust and his company? Let us call the authorities! I want that woman arrested!"

"Mother, please calm yourself. Rest assured, I already took care of everything." Liu Cheng'er said before she asked her assistant to give Zhang Bingbing bottled water. "Mother, this is not the right time to act like this. Mo Li needed our help to resolve this issue. We needed to be strong and show our support for him." Her words were enough to calm Zhang Bingbing down. However, this wasn't enough to stop Mo Bai and Zhang's Grandmother to ask questions.

"Hmph! As expected! My grandson was fooled by that woman!" Zhang Grandmother narrowed her eyes. "And she even acted like there is an emergency to try and delay this meeting? Good thing, Mo Li wasn't blinded and actually left her in the hospital alone."

"Grandmother, I know Mo Li since we were kids. I know how much he valued this company. There is no way that he would stay in the hospital for so long. He knew that this could possibly ruin everything that he worked hard for."

Before Zhang Grandmother could answer, the huge brown wooden door of the conference room opened, revealing Mo Li. His arrival immediately silenced the room with almost twenty people. "Is everyone here?" he calmly asked while walking towards the head of the long table.

"Yes, the IT team is already here too. They are now checking the breach of information. Please have some water first before we start the meeting." Of course, Liu Cheng'er was really enthusiastic now that Bella wasn't actually with Mo Li! This could only mean that Bella was still in the hospital and Mo Li actually left her!

That woman actually wanted to delay the meeting because of her false condition! Too bad, Mo Li valued the company more than anything!

Liu Cheng'er immediately handed Mo Li another bottled water before sitting next to him.

"That seat is taken, VP Liu. Please sit on the other side." Mo Li calmly said while looking at everyone at the table.

"Huh? But… we are all here?"

"Did you want my secretary to stand?" Mo Li lifted an eyebrow as he sent a mocking gaze towards Liu Cheng'er.

"Sec— Secretary?" she eyed Mo Li's male secretaries who were here assisting everyone with their needs. "Miss Bella?"

"I only have one Executive Secretary VP Liu. It seems that you have become forgetful? Do you want to go home and rest? Perhaps schedule a doctor's appointment? After all, you are still young and yet you are already so forgetful."

Liu Cheng'er's face reddened when she heard Mo Li's words. She couldn't believe it! Why was Mo Li seemed to attack her?

"Mo Li, Cheng'er had been very busy for this meeting. She was stressed because of the current issue too. There is no need to insult her." Mo Bai said, his tone clearly showing that he didn't like Mo Li's actions. Of course, Mo Li only snorted as he stared at Liu Cheng'er's uncomfortable expression until she stood and transferred to the next seat.

Seeing this, a satisfied smile escaped Mo Li's lips. "Now ladies and gentlemen, I am sure everyone is here because of the news about Mo Family's involvement in the scandal?"

"Mo Li what are you talking about?" Zhang Bingbing immediately asked her son. What involvement? Isn't this a meeting about the breach?

"Well, I believe, not many of you have checked the current news? Please check it. I will give you a few minutes to read the articles. " He shrugged in response. Almost immediately, everyone opened their phones and laptop as well as tablets trying to see the things that Mo Li was talking about. Earlier, they had been so busy gossiping that they didn't read the latest news and articles online.

"This— "

"How could this have happened?"

"Was it really the Mo Family?"

Whispers and surprise gasps immediately echoed as they read the latest articles online.

"This is not true!" Zhang Bingbing immediately reacted. How could she allow the media to slander her family? "We are filing a case against these people! How dare they— "

"Bingbing calm down. I believe Mo Li is here to clear our names!" Mo Bai was confident that his son would be able to solve this matter. After all, this would not only ruin Mo Li's chances in politics. It might also affect his company! If this news continues, his stocks would surely plummet! How could Mo Li allow something like this to happen? "Isn't that right, Mo Li?"

"Actually, we are here to trace the security breach." Mo Li said. "We have other VIP clients who already called me wanting an explanation about this matter. We needed to deliver a good answer and properly trace the culprit." He smiled when the wooden door opened again, revealing Bella who was carrying Mo Li's laptop. "Ah, here she is. Alright, enough chatting. Let's start."
