You Are My Unforgettable Love Chapter 438 - So It Was Her! (8)

Done speaking, he walked towards the main door.

“Stop!” Qiao Lian called out.

Su Penghao turned around.

Qiao Lian took a deep breath and said, “I can prove that I did not do it.”

Su Penghao raised an eyebrow.

Qiao Lian looked at Ancestor White Bones.

Ancestor White Bones was expressionless and explained methodically, “During the break, I went to the restroom with Qiao Lian. My performance after the break was all thanks to Qiao Lian’s secret instructions. If she had sold us out and leaked our strategy, why would she have worked so hard afterwards to ensure that we win the game?”

Su Penghao could hardly believe what he was hearing. “Do you mean that it was under her guidance that you managed to penetrate the opponent’s core defense?”

That had almost been the turning point for that match.

If it hadn’t been for Ancestor White Bones’ maneuver, they would have lost the game.

Ancestor White Bones nodded.

With Ancestor White Bones’ confirmation, Su Penghao’s att.i.tude finally softened and he looked at Qiao Lian. Frowning deeply, he said, “However, this alone doesn’t prove that you weren’t the one who leaked the information. After all, only us knew the strategy. Apart from you, there’s no one else.”

Qiao Lian nodded and said, “You are all part of the team and it’s not possible that you leaked the secret. I’ve thought about it carefully, perhaps somehow it was me. But even if it had been, it would have been part of someone’s scheme.”

“Hah, that’s a bunch of talking. You think that you can get off easily just by saying that it’s someone else’s scheme?”

Qiao Lian shook her head. “No, of course not.”

Su Penghao was surprised at her candidness.

Qiao Lian turned to Shen Liangchuan and said, “But I believe that Mr. Shen will have an explanation for you eventually.”

–

Finally, they managed to convince the team members. In the car on the way home, Qiao Lian and Shen Liangchuan sighed deeply.

Qiao Lian said, “I’ve thought it through in detail. The strategy for this compet.i.tion was a.n.a.lyzed and drafted on paper only in your study and nowhere else.”

After the incident with the photo leak, Shen Liangchuan had carried out a purge on the housekeeping staff.

Hence, things should be safe in the house now.

Which was also why Qiao Lian had gotten careless.

Shen Liangchuan narrowed his eyes suddenly and said, “There’s CCTV in the house!”

Qiao Lian’s eyes immediately lit up.

The two of them triumphantly rushed to the study on reaching home and turned on the recording playback. Then, they realized that there was a 10-minute segment missing from the recording from the afternoon of the day before, when both of them hadn’t been home.

Qiao Lian frowned deeply. “Whoever did this must be very familiar with our home! They even managed to erase the recording.”

Shen Liangchuan frowned deeply at Qiao Lian’s words.

At this point, someone knocked on the study room door. Following this, Xia Yehua walked in, carrying a tray with two gla.s.ses of water. “The moment you get home, you scurry into the study. What’s going on? Hurry up and drink some water.”

Qiao Lian extended her hands to reach for the water.

However, her leg suddenly shook and she fell towards Xia Yehua, causing the water in Xia Yeha’s hand to spill all over herself.

Xia Yehua got anxious at once. “Child, what’s wrong with you? Hurry up and change your wet clothes, otherwise you’ll catch a could.

Qiao Lian looked down. Indeed, her trousers were wet from the spilled drink.

She nodded. “I’ll go get changed.”

But just as she walked out, she suddenly realized she had left her cell phone on the desk. She turned around to walk back into the study and retrieve the phone.

At this point, she heard Shen Liangchuan speaking in a stern tone, “Mom, there’s something I have to ask you.”

“What is it?”

Shen Liangchuan’s words sounded clearly in Qiao Lian’s ears. “Did Song Yuanxi come by yesterday?”
