Can't Take My Eyes Off You

"Miss Jiang, it's me. I'm Li Hong. I'm sorry. I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have touched your things. I shouldn't have sold your things for money. " Li Hong cried as she confessed. "When I saw your letter that day, I really wanted to help you pick it up and give it to you when the time came. I noticed that it was by the Changkang Group. Even though I was curious, I did not have any ill intentions. It was also a coincidence that I met a college classmate after I picked up the letter. He went to university to do some business. He asked me to have dinner with her. I took your letter with me. On the way, I was accidentally bumped by a passer-by. Your letter was thrown out of my bag. When my classmate picked it up, he saw the Changkang Group's envelope. He was very curious and said to open it to take a look. I didn't know what I was thinking at that time, but I didn't reject it."

Her cries became increasingly louder. It was clear that she regretted her decision.

"After he opened it, he was very excited. He said that I had found a treasure. A pie had fallen from the sky for me. He said he would give me money for your letter. He also said that no one saw me taking your letter. When the time comes, I shouldn't admit it. I agreed to it in a moment of foolishness." Li Hong cried and pleaded with her. "Miss Jiang, I've given the police my classmate's contact information and the research institute where he works. I'll give you all the money he gave me. Please forgive me, okay? If I'm prosecuted, my life will be ruined. I'll be expelled from the university, and I'll go to jail. Miss Jiang, I know that I did something wrong. I do know that. I beg you to let me off this time, okay?"

"What if I don't?" Jiang Yao's voice carried a hint of impatience. "Li Hong, do you think you'll be fine if you confess? Do you believe you'll be fine if you give me the money you received? You sold the documents to someone else and leaked them. Don't you understand what that means?"

Even if most of the essential data in the careless intern's documents were wrong, the leak would still significantly impact the team.

As long as the contents were related to the research, it would not matter if the data was wrong. The person who took the files would recheck and test the results. It was just a matter of time.

Jiang Yao had not seen the files yet, so she was unsure how important information was in them.

Forgiveness? How could there be forgiveness?

If she forgave Li Hong, then who would give an explanation to the people working under her? Who would explain that to them?

"Miss Jiang, I'm begging you, please don't destroy my future. In just a few short days, as long as the police recover the document, it won't impact you much. Furthermore, it's Changkang Group's things, not yours. The group is a big company. It doesn't matter if they lose something so small. You're also Professor Ouyang's right-hand man. The company won't make things difficult for you because of Professor Ouyang." Li Hong cried until her voice was hoarse.

"In just a few days? If I were your classmate, I would have copied the documents to distribute and resell them! Li Hong, I didn't ruin you. You did that." Jiang Yao wanted to laugh.
