Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 498

Chapter 498: Chapter 498 Suicide

In her previous life, Lin Zhiyi lost many design drafts due to the collaboration between Shen Yan and Song Wanqiu.

Therefore, she is extraordinarily cautious in this life.

Whenever she leaves her workstation, she locks her computer. Even discarded drafts are placed in a dedicated drawer, secured with her own lock.

Yet she didn’t expect to be targeted anyway.

Lin Zhiyi scanned her surroundings, unable to pinpoint who tampered with her computer at the moment.

Hence, she didn’t plan to alert them.

During afternoon tea, colleagues ordered some snacks paired with coffee as usual.

Lin Zhiyi volunteered to go downstairs to pick up the food.

After collecting the items, she placed a piece of Black Forest cake, which she ordered separately, in front of the reception desk.

The receptionist paused: "Is this for me?"

"Yeah, thankfully you called an ambulance for my friend yesterday, otherwise, if something had happened to her and her unborn baby, I really couldn’t explain it."

With a reason given, the receptionist happily accepted the dessert.

"No worries. I actually didn’t believe you would mess up, and fortunately, everything has cleared up."

Lin Zhiyi nodded, then pretended to casually glance towards the surveillance room nearby.

She whispered, "The scene at the door yesterday must have been captured by the surveillance, right? There won’t be any problems, will there?"

The receptionist took a bite of the Black Forest cake and shook her head: "Don’t worry, the surveillance room is locked, common people can’t enter."

Lin Zhiyi curiously asked, "Does this mean it’s still accessible?"

The receptionist indifferently replied, "Yeah, sometimes when someone from the office loses something, the security will be asked to go in and check the surveillance. After all, we are a jewelry design company; we can’t afford to lose anything."

"True. Has anyone lost anything recently?" Lin Zhiyi inquired.

The receptionist thought for a few seconds and suddenly exclaimed.

"Yes, a couple of days ago Zhao Xuan said she lost a diamond-encrusted pen, which she designed herself for her birthday last year. Security accompanied her to review the footage and later said they found it. What’s up? Did you lose something?"

Lin Zhiyi smiled and shook her head: "No, I’m heading upstairs to deliver the stuff."

"Alright."

Back in the office.

Lin Zhiyi didn’t confront Zhao Xuan, instead, she joined everyone for some afternoon tea.

Because she believed Zhao Xuan wouldn’t be that foolish.

The two of them collaborated three years ago; Xue Man was well aware of each other’s design styles.

Even if Zhao Xuan got hold of her design drafts, they wouldn’t be very useful.

Therefore, she thought Zhao Xuan must have used her design drafts for other purposes.

After calming down, Lin Zhiyi occasionally secretly observed Zhao Xuan.

That afternoon, Zhao Xuan entered Bai Ruoshu’s office four or five times.

When did their relationship become so good?

Lin Zhiyi clenched her pen tightly, pondering what to do next.

...

Office.

Bai Ruoshu was sending a message to her mother.

"Mom, the plan is progressing smoothly. That foolish woman probably hasn’t realized it yet."

"Just a final step, don’t be careless."

"Rest assured, I will definitely stand beside the Third Young Master."

"Why haven’t I seen you so enthusiastic about men before?" 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"He’s different. I feel like he suits me well."

Bai Ruoshu’s tone carried a sense of pride.

Her mother replied with a smile.

Just as they finished chatting, the office door knocked.

"Come in."

Bai Ruoshu closed her phone, a faint smile on her lips.

Zhao Xuan pushed open the door, holding a plate of red velvet cake.

"Miss Bai, everyone ordered afternoon tea, so I ordered a small cake for you."

"Thank you."

Bai Ruoshu politely accepted the diminutive plate.
