After Transmigrating as a Tycoon’s Wife, My Thoughts Are Heard by the Whole Family Chapter 3

[Initially, Director Tang's thirst for authority was far from satisfied. This drove him to use Tang Jun as a pawn to test Secretary Jin, hoping to see if she could be lured away. He never imagined he was effectively offering up his own son as a sacrifice. If he realized his son had transformed into such a pathetic bootlicker, he would... Haha!]

[Right now, he is throwing his full weight behind his son, likely under the delusion that his son is successfully winning people over. He’s here to provide backup, unaware of the reality.]

[He’s lost his son and is now helping the enemy count the profits!]

Director Tang, who had been standing behind his son with the steadiness of a mountain, felt a sudden chill when he met Qin Xian's piercing stare.

In an instant, Director Tang grew arrogant, thrusting out his chest and pulling in his gut.

It appeared that Qin Xian was truly in the wrong this time. Just look at him—unable to maintain his composure after being scolded by his precious son.

This might be the perfect opening to finally poach Secretary Jin!

He'd like to see who would dare label his son a useless, entitled brat after this victory!

"Hey! Qin Xian, are you really going to stand there and let this woman mistreat Secretary Jin?!" Tang Jun shouted in a rage, noticing that Qin Xian remained silent while his expression shifted. "Don't forget, Ji Fei is the only one who met with Vice President Li of that company! We have the photos and videos to prove it!"

Qin Xian, who had been caught up in the internal drama, cleared his throat and assumed a stern demeanor before looking at Ji Fei.

"Why did you go to see him?"

The last time he had questioned her, Ji Fei had been hysterical and failed to provide a coherent explanation.

This time, Qin Xian felt that even if she refused to cooperate, he could uncover the truth through alternative channels.

Ji Fei blinked, realizing the situation was becoming convoluted. She hadn't expected Qin Xian to actually follow through with a serious investigation.

Strictly speaking, Qin Xian’s character was quite decent. He was genuinely trying to avoid blaming an innocent person.

However, this didn't align with Ji Fei's goals. She wanted a divorce!

Just as she prepared to speak, she caught Qin Xian's eyes. His sharp brows and phoenix eyes, combined with his deep features, made him look like a top-tier model. His appearance rivaled any major celebrity, particularly when he focused his gaze so intensely. For a fleeting moment, his look was so captivating it left Ji Fei dazed.

Setting aside those two hundred million, Qin Xian’s face was still dangerously handsome. Ji Fei had been momentarily distracted by it.

Yet, at this moment, his face was a mask of gravity, his entire aura radiating a seriousness that forbade any joking.

That stare, which seemed to penetrate her very soul, startled Ji Fei and forced the truth from her lips.

"It was a job set up by my agent."

The second the words left her mouth, Ji Fei felt such regret she wanted to slam her head against a wall.

Had she actually succumbed to a honey trap?

Why did she tell the truth? This was only going to make things more difficult!

Before anyone else could speak, Tang Jun gave a mocking laugh. "That is a pathetic excuse. Has your agent lost their mind, setting up work for you with a competitor?"

The Qin Corporation operated its own entertainment branch, including a studio dedicated solely to Ji Fei. As an employee of the Qin Corporation, it was unthinkable for an agent to take a contract from a rival firm.

Unless it was a setup.

Tang Jun didn't give Ji Fei another chance to explain; he immediately ordered someone to call her agent, Sister Wei.

The call connected quickly, and the situation was laid out.

Sister Wei replied instantly, "What? I never made any such arrangement! Mrs. Qin, you can't pin this on me! I'm just a small employee; I can't take the fall for something this big."

A simple agent wouldn't normally dare to falsely accuse the CEO's wife.

Nobody picked up on the forced quality of her voice; they only saw it as final confirmation of Ji Fei's guilt.

A faint, triumphant smile touched Secretary Jin's lips.

Tang Jun said with a smirk, "Next time you try to lie, try not to pick something that's so easy to disprove."

He then silently mouthed the word "Idiot" at Ji Fei.

This time, Ji Fei was genuinely provoked.

She had assumed this was a simple frame-up and that minor characters like Sister Wei were also being manipulated. She hadn't realized the scheme was this deep, involving Sister Wei directly.

Qin Xian was reaching the same conclusion and was planning to have Sister Wei investigated when he heard Ji Fei's internal monologue.

[I really want to know how much they paid her to sell me out.]

Qin Xian: ...

Could she just access any information she wanted?

[What!]

[Is my reputation only worth a 2,000 yuan red envelope?]

[This can't be right, no way!]

[I must have missed a zero somewhere!]

Qin Xian was equally stunned, his mind racing with confusion. Only... 2,000 yuan?

[Wuwuwu, it really is just 2,000 yuan... Huh? Wait, oh?! I see...]

What? What did she see?

After a long silence filled only by Ji Fei's mental exclamations, Qin Xian's calm facade was beginning to crack from the suspense.

Just say it! If you don't say it, how am I supposed to clear your name?

Fortunately, Ji Fei finally realized the gravity of the situation.

[No wonder she didn't care about the money. It turns out Sister Wei is actually Secretary Jin's sister-in-law. They're family; of course they're working together.]

[So Secretary Jin planted a spy next to me a long time ago?! They even acted like strangers. Impressive, truly impressive!]

Qin Xian: Why are you admiring her?!

Learning the truth left Qin Xian deeply shocked.

Secretary Jin had been plotting behind his back for much longer than he suspected!

At that moment, an assistant tentatively asked if they should end the call with Sister Wei, since she had already given her statement.

Qin Xian’s voice turned cold as he spoke into the phone, "Since the accounts conflict, I will be ordering a formal evidence gathering. If Agent Wei has no physical proof of her claims, we will conduct a full audit of her personal and professional connections."

Everyone in the room stared at Qin Xian in disbelief.

Everyone: The evidence is right there, and he’s still looking for loopholes?

Ji Fei: Damn! How does Qin Xian keep accidentally hitting the truth right on the head?

No one noticed Secretary Jin’s sudden paleness or the sharp gasp from the other end of the line.

"What is the meaning of this?" Tang Jun continued to play the hero for his crush.

Qin Xian replied calmly, "When two stories clash, even the authorities wouldn't take sides without a full investigation. Ji Fei's circle is small and well-known to me; she had no way to contact the opposition before this. I cannot say the same for this agent."

"Mr. Qin... how could I possibly be linked to a rival firm?" the agent stammered nervously.

Directly, she wasn't, but an investigation would inevitably reveal her tie to Secretary Jin.

Since that relationship had been kept secret, it would look like a deliberate conspiracy, making the current situation impossible to explain away.

Qin Xian said frostily, "Wait for further instructions."

He cut the call before the agent could protest.

A moment later, his freezing gaze shifted toward Secretary Jin.

Already on edge, Secretary Jin flinched and recoiled a step.

Tang Jun immediately moved to shield her, shouting, "I see you're hell-bent on protecting that woman today. I'm starting to think you're trying to frame Secretary Jin to save her!"

"But it won't work! Secretary Jin has never had any contact with the rivals! For the last two days, she has been either at this office or at home!"

Secretary Jin regained some composure, looking at Qin Xian with an expression of hurt, though her voice remained steady.

"If Mr. Qin doubts me, I am perfectly willing to undergo any investigation!"

Standard procedure would involve checking her recent locations and all her digital devices.

Based on Tang Jun's defense, it seemed confirmed that she hadn't physically met anyone from the other side.

But for her to be this bold, it meant she was certain no evidence existed.

Could she really have wiped her digital footprint that cleanly?

Qin Xian frowned, deep in thought.

[I was wondering where that confidence came from. So that's the trick!]

Qin Xian immediately sharpened his focus, knowing he wouldn't have to guess for long.

[I didn't expect the plan to be this airtight.]

Qin Xian: Stop praising the plan and just tell me!

[The email was sent on the morning of the 12th. But if they search her computer, even with the best forensic tech to recover deleted files, they'll find nothing.]

Qin Xian's heart sank. How was that possible?

[Because she used that moron Tang Jun's computer to send it. Tang Jun trusts her blindly, never hides anything from her in the office, and even his password is her birthday.]

[This way, even if she's a suspect, her own hardware is clean.]

[Even if the rival company sold her out, the trail would only lead back to Tang Jun.]

Qin Xian’s expression shifted drastically as his cold eyes moved from Secretary Jin to Tang Jun.

[However, she did leave one opening. She was probably just too arrogant about her standing in the company.]

Qin Xian listened intently, waiting for the crucial detail.

But Ji Fei’s thoughts trailed off.

["Forget it. I know the truth, but I can't actually say it. In the end, besides Sister Wei getting caught, Secretary Jin will probably walk away clean. Let's just get this boring show over with."]

Qin Xian’s eyes narrowed as he sneered internally.

A farce, indeed!

"Get the IT department up here. We are going to conduct a full audit of Secretary Jin's electronic devices."
